He doesn't remember much of the oath or the ritual. He doesn't remember the blood on his hand that flowed into someone else's palm, binding them with their blood. Binding them with a magic that is older than this world, binding them with the curse of the Wolf Fenrir. Uniting their magic into a bizarre intertwining of one whole. The oaths that he spoke with numb lips.

Despite the feeling of unreality, Dick knows exactly what his conditions are. He knows what he needs to say to save his family from the Imp.

He only remembers the anticipation, the fear that gripped his lungs and scratched his throat with sharp claws. The feeling of uncertainty about the future, something that scares him but also something that he desires. He remembers the hot lips that kissed him at the end, the warm body that pressed against him, enveloping him in the wolf fur of his coat and tickling his nose.

Now, his palm was burning, and his chest was filled with intense heat. His magic was intertwined with another's. He clung desperately to the thick, long fur, trying not to fall off the wolf's sturdy back. He felt as if he would soon succumb to a fever, but that would mean his body was rejecting the magic of others.

His mind was clouded, and he didn't understand much, which was a bad thing. He had to secure the freedom of his brothers. By any means necessary. His hopes for success rested entirely on the Wolf and their new bond.

Judging by the time it takes them to run through the forests and thickets, they'll soon reach the other side. This place has always weakened him too much. The other side rejects anyone who shouldn't be there, or who doesn't possess incredible magical power. Now, the wolf's magic, the bond with it, should provide protection. However, it's been a short time since the bond was established, and it might not work.

Dick sincerely hopes it does.
