Wind howled through the night, carrying with it the sound of rustling leafs and crunching branches. Lurking in the shadow of the undergrowth, its shape blended perfectly into the environment with any sounds of its graceful steps masked by the wind, it was invisible. Crouching on its haunches, ready to pounce at a moment's notice. It could feel the others of its pack doing the same. All its senses were on high alert, picking up the smallest changes in the surrounding. The forest was dead still except for the howling wind. Eventually, something broke the silence, frantic foot-steps came from afar, right in front of it. Seconds later, a small figure immersed into the moonlight that shone through the small clearing and trailing fast behind were three of its pack. They zipped through the bushes, growling and relentlessly pursuing their prey. Leading the chase was the alpha, larger but much more agile with giant thorns sprouting all over its body. Yet somehow the figure seem to always be a step a head. No matter, they had the prey in their claws.

The figure's appearance came in to more details as the soft moonlight graced its form. A human child with short hair and slender body, she was warped from neck to toe in some strange kind of clothes, small pieces of gold ornament glinting in the luminescence of the moon. It hadn't had much encounter with human but from what it had learned from the more experienced member of the pack, human were dumb and weak which made them the easy prey, not to mention how delicious they were. Unfortunately for the hungry predator, finding human in the wild had been increasingly difficult ever since they were taken to be pets of the pony.

Just before she disappeared into the dense forest, two of its pack member leaped from the edge of the clearing where they were previously hidden right on the target. That would mark the end of the hunt, it could finally have a taste of a human soul, the body would be perfect nourishment for future generation. Or so it thought, the two that confronted the pray, their jagged wooden teeth and claws tasted nothing but air as they stumbled to the ground. If it had eyelids, it would be blinking in surprise and disbelief as the small girl suddenly vanished with out a trace. Moments later, the three pursuers entered the clearing only to see their pack members picking themselves up in confusion.

Watching its pack from the shadow, it decided to stay hidden, trying to maintain any element of surprise in case the mysterious creature chose to stay and fight. The pack anxiously scanned their surrounding, leaving no unchecked details but to their dismay, the small form was no where to be seen. Everything was as it should, the still forest occasionally shifted by the wind, the lack of sounds from the critters, everything except for a growing feeling of dread that hung heavily in the air. This wood and all the creatures inhabiting it were no stranger to dread and despair, but what it was experiencing at the moment brought forth a primal instinct it hadn't known it possess....Fear. The sense of wrongness, the feeling of facing something that did not belong to this world urged it to run away, to self preserve even though it can feel no pain nor fear no death.

Just as sudden as when she disappear, the little human materialized, surrounded by swirling wave of golden energy. The unwanted appearance startled the pack, causing them to spring into aggressive stands, growling and bearing their teeth. The suffocating dreadfulness subsided but still lingered, especially around the girl. It observed from the shadow as the small human and a pack of ferocious predator glared at each other. The girl showed no sign of weakness even as the pack ensnare her in a circle of fangs, claws and poisonous thorns. It could not believe some thing looking so helpless and feeble could be so frightening. After they lost track of the girl, It realized deep down that their roles had inverted. She was the hunter, and they were the hunted.

It was the pack leader that initiated the fight, leaping for the girls throat, hoping to end this quickly. Once again, it caught nothing but air, this time however, the human did not wait for another attack. The sound of a small explosion shattered the quite atmosphere, one of it's pack member was forcibly thrown into the air and crashed violently against a large oak tree, carving a chunk out of it and splintering the once fearsome monster in a shower of timbers, twigs and tree barks. Amid the scattered remain, a withering light. Where it once were, stood the girl in the same colorful display of energy just like when she first reappeared. All the other visibility quivered when her hand glowed and a beam of blinding golden light connected with the frail glow, torching the helpless spirit that was without a shell to protect it self.

When the terrifying death ray finally dissipated, only the moonlight illuminated the small clearing, it could only pray to the ancient forest that everything would remain that way, but the prayer was left unanswered. In just a heart beat, two more lunged at the girl while one circled behind for her back. This time, instead of vanished before the impacts, a powerful blast from her palm knocked the two back to edge of the clearing, then immediately turned to thin air as the third one past right through. Before it even hit the ground, the energy beam scorched a hole through its body and impacted the dirt on the other side, leaving a lifeless husk that slowly crumbled into a pile of wood. Only two barely standing along with a frightened alpha left. With one swift movement, the girl dashed through space, time and dimension, unlike what happened previously, not only an explosion went off where she stood, an orb of pure energy formed then floated lazily over to the two weary opponents. They could not run nor hide, the orb took it's time but when the distance was closed, bolts what looked to be electricity arced across it's surface and the two unfortunate targets, ignited the creatures and erased everything inside the woody exteriors.

The alpha, shaken to the core after witnessing its pack got annihilated in seconds by that devil, chose the smartest course of action. It turned tail and zoomed away as fast as its legs could carry.

Author's Note

To all Warframe fans that read this story, the tenno here is one with years of experience after the event of The Second Dream so natually she'll be much more powerful, like maxed focus trees and maxed arcane kind of powerful. In addition, even though i'm a lore fanatic, things will change somewhat just to make it easier on me. Now just to be clear, i won't change anything related to the core continuity of Warframe, just add or expand the tenno ability and smaller details.
