They Who Kill

Eagles scream and wolves flee... ...yet all they do is watch with glee.

Bunnies bleed out into a bloody mess...

...yet they never feel distress.

Foxes cry and dolphins weep...

...and all they do is sink their teeth.

They do not love.

They do not feel.

''They are... THEY WHO KILL.''

The Actual Story
"The remaining STATUE has crumbled to reveal what appears to be a statue of a DIREWOLF!"

My little heart started racing once I read that. Finally, after so long, they were adding dire wolves to Animal Jam! They looked AMAZING, too! FINALLY, a good animal after the disgusting abominations known as the "clydesdale horses" and the "sabertooths." I was so happy and so excited. WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE JUST REALIZED THEM TODAY, AJHQ?! Sigh... anyways, I decided I would check out the statue in the Temple of the Ancients, because why not?

I clicked on the little globe in the bottom corner of my screen and selected the temple, before being teleported into the building.

The trip there started pretty normal. I searched around for it, eventually found it's location, and admired it little.

However, also viewing the statue was a pink seal with a yellow swirl pattern on it's fur and cyan "cute" eyes, wearing the Spring Bundle rainbow armor, a rare heart locket, and a spring gardening hat. It simply stood there for a while, but after a bit, it turned to me.

"Have you seen the new animal?" it asked simply. "Yeah, it's a dire wolf, why ask?" I typed back. "That's the problem." the seal stated. "Oh, boohoo, are you one of those stupid arctic wolf haters?" I growled in chat. "No.. b-but.. do you KNOW the dire wolves?" the seal stuttered. "Uhhh, yes, they're awesome!" I typed.

"You haven't seen them, haven't you?" the seal muttered. "Don't you know what they are? They kill for sport. They eat hearts for breakfast. They torture and kill jammers in the most violent ways. Yet everyone celebrates their arrival. It's so FRUSTRATING!"

I rolled my eyes, being assuring this was just some cringy roleplayer trying to be edgy. I sighed, and clicked on Jamaa Township, ready to do one of my favorite pass times; trading.

Putting a black long on my trade list, I danced around in Jamaa shouting "BLACK LONG ON TRADE! PLZ TRADE FAIR" Of course, I got a variety of requests. Some were more fair then others, while some were heavily under.

However, after a while, I got a trade which intrigued me. It was a skully and a non-member sword; not much of an offer, however, who traded me the items interested me more. It was a dark gray dire wolf with silver underfur, red evil eyes, and a blood red splatter pattern. It's animal name was "Dark Slayerwolf."

A jammer with a currently unreleased animal, and not to mention an impossible username? Quite an interesting jammer to say the least! This person must be one HELL of a hacker to have that many items! I accepted the trade (just because) and starting clicking around Jamaa Township for the jammer. Eventually, I was able to click the jammer's nametag.

The jammer's username was "Moonwave", a very pretty name might I say so myself. Instantly, I clicked the buddy option.

Then, something happened that made my heart race.

HE BUDDIED ME! YESSS!! I was so very happy. Excitedly, I clicked his den icon to see what he had in store.

His den amazing me even more.

It was a barren looking den, set late at night. Tribal torches were strewn about, with animal skeletons hanging on walls. The music in the background sounded like tribal drums being banged, sending chills up my spine. Was Animal Jam actually going for a darker, more eerie atmosphere? Either way, I liked this change. Curiously, I started walking to the top of the den, to see what was up there.

It was a circular area surrounded with the tribal torches. Carved into the floor of the den was a circle with words written in the middle, the words being of some arcane language I couldn't decrypt. Laying in the center of this circle was the seal, which was doing the sleeping action. Quietly, the seal muttered one last thing.

"Run.. while you can!"

Before I even knew it, the circle on the ground pulsed with some sort of blue light, and the screen faded to white. Suddenly, there was a bloodcurdling scream, so loud I swear my heart skipped a beat! The screen fazed back to the den, and the changes that had happened terrified me.

Slumped where the seal once stood was an unrecognizable corpse, twisted and bent horribly. Eyes hung out of it's sockets, and flesh seemingly melted off it's body. The withered remains of a spring gardening hat, rare heart locket, and promo rainbow armor sat on it's body, blood still pooling under the corpse. The "circle" it was sitting on now glowed a bright red, and written on the walls with blood were the words "THEY WHO KILL."

Soon afterwards, the screen faded to black. White words slowly faded in.

"It is too late. All of Jamaa will crumble in their presence. Not even the alphas will surprise. They are still sacrificing jammers to their god. Soon all jammers will have their souls given up to their overlord, it will be freed from it's statue. And once that is done..."

A silhouette of the most twisted, demonic direwolf I have ever seen flashed on my screen.

"..THEY WILL RULE THE MULTIVERSE."

My computer crashed, and it never turned on ever again. To this day, I constantly wonder and worry about the dire wolves, wondering when will be the dreadful day they come to Jamaa.

Actually, they're not dire wolves...
