Summary: He had been alone for a long time, but then he found a trail that brought him to a human settlement.
Rating: K
Notes: OC-centric here.
Had this plotbunny when I reread the manhwa, and this has the potential to be epically long. Kinda wanted more information before starting, but well, I'm missing a couple of organs now… -_____-;
Like I said, looks like loneliness is going to be a theme for this year.
And then I spawned more plotbunnies. *headdesk*
Frankenstein had said the nobles had changed, so what about others?

He lifted his muzzle to the sky and sniffed the air, ears flicking back and forth. This was the closest he'd been to a human settlement in a long time and… they had changed. The buildings were far taller and looked sturdier than the huts he had used to see; it was also brighter than he was used to at this time of night. He had hoped to slip in unnoticed but now…

He would be seen. Easily. His bulk was still twice that of a human's, no matter how much their technology had changed from the last he'd seen it.

But…

He took another deep breath, almost tasting the scent he'd been tracking ever since he'd caught a whiff of it some moons back. He was so close - but why had his Kin hidden himself amongst the humans? There had been no answer to his howls, but he could hear the noisy humans from where he stood. His Kin had most likely been unable to hear him.

He wavered, the instinct to stay away from the humans warring with the knowledge that there was Kin somewhere in front of him.

Lips pulling back over his fangs and his ears flattening, he made his decision: he would go to his Kin and then… he didn't know. They would decide after meeting.

He dropped to all fours and began to make his way to the human settlement.

No name for this guy because it's been so long since he's needed it that he forgot.

So this made me wonder if M-21's supreme loyalty isn't also partially due to the transplant.

XD I don't know - we don't have a lot of information about werewolves (what one looks like, some attacks, they have fast regeneration, and they're warlike [with who? Each other? Everyone else? Just with the nobles?]) I want/need moooore. Like, can they transform into humans, does the time of day/phase of the moon affect them? But of course, if we were to get that information, chances are, the group's meeting one face-to-face, which would then make the fic moot. XD;;

I really want to have the werewolf pounce on M-21, all happy at finding his Kin, except then he'd be 'Wait. You're a human.' You can guess how well that goes over with M-21. D:

We pretty much know nothing about them. XD; Just that they very secluded. I wonder if they'll come into play later. Yeah, if we do learn more about them, they'd probably need to be part of the main plot then, so they'd come into the spotlight. XD;

D: Yeaaaah, that does not sound like it'd go well.
