Silver Fang Sutra: The Doctor of War

Chapter 3: The Siege of Galdur Monastery

The monastery shook like the bones of a dying beast.

The first strike against the gates thundered through its ruined halls, splinters flying like shards of bone. Azael stood before the doors, sword in hand, cloak snapping in the icy wind that howled through the broken windows. Behind him, thirty loyal wolves waited, blades drawn, their breaths white clouds in the cold air.

Outside, horns blared again. A thousand boots marched in rhythm, each step a promise of slaughter.

“They come as a flood,” whispered Serik, the scarred soldier at Azael’s side. His voice trembled, but his grip on his axe was iron.

Azael’s gaze never wavered. “Then we will be the mountain that splits the flood.”

The gates buckled again under a ram of steel.

The First Breach

With a final crack, the wooden gates exploded inward. Shards flew. The first wave of armored soldiers poured into the courtyard, their shields raised, spears bristling.

Azael’s wolves roared in defiance, charging forward with steel and fury.

The clash was immediate and merciless. Steel screamed against steel. Arrows whistled through the air, finding throats, eyes, and unarmored joints. Blood splashed across the cracked stones of the monastery courtyard.

Azael moved like a storm. His blade flashed silver in the dim firelight, carving clean arcs through flesh and armor alike. Each strike was measured, surgical, unstoppable. He severed a man’s arm at the elbow, spun, and opened another from collarbone to hip.

“Hold the line!” he bellowed, his voice a hammer striking against despair.

The wolves obeyed. Though outnumbered ten to one, they fought with the ferocity of beasts cornered.

The Shadow of the Council

Amid the chaos, Azael’s eyes caught a figure standing beyond the carnage—tall, cloaked, untouched by the fray. A Council emissary. His face was hidden, but his voice carried across the battlefield like poison in the wind.

“Surrender the Sutra, War Doctor,” the emissary called. “Your cause is lost. Lay down your blade, and your death will be swift.”

Azael’s laugh was a sound without mirth. “I was a doctor once. I know the sound of infection. And your Council is a plague.”

The emissary did not flinch. His hand lifted. At his command, another wave of soldiers surged forward, their armored boots pounding like drums of war.

The Sutra Unleashed

The wolves were faltering. Bodies piled high near the shattered gates. Blood slicked the stones. For every enemy they felled, three more took his place.

Serik fell to one knee, blood pouring from a spear wound in his side. “We… can’t… hold them!”

Azael’s grip tightened on his blade. His shoulder burned with the memory of the arrow that had pierced him the night before. His lungs screamed for rest. But his eyes—his eyes blazed.

“It is time,” he muttered.

Closing his eyes, he whispered the forbidden chant of the Silver Fang Sutra. Words carved into his soul, words not spoken in centuries, spilled from his lips like shards of fire.

The air shifted.

His sword shimmered, veins of silver glowing brighter, pulsing as though alive. The very air around him seemed to ripple.

When he opened his eyes again, they were no longer just gray—they burned with a predator’s light.

He moved.

Faster than any man his age should move, faster than the eyes of the Council’s soldiers could follow. His blade cut not wide arcs but precise incisions, slipping through gaps in armor, slicing tendons, puncturing arteries. He did not fight like a warrior. He fought like a surgeon dissecting the battlefield.

Men screamed as they fell, clutching wounds too exact, too merciless. To them it was butchery. To Azael, it was mastery.

The emissary’s mask tilted ever so slightly. Even he seemed unsettled.

Wolves’ Howl

With their leader’s fury igniting them, the wolves rallied. Serik, bleeding and pale, rose with a roar, cleaving an enemy’s helm in two. Another soldier, her face streaked with tears and blood, fought like a demon at Azael’s side.

“Push them back!” Azael thundered.

And they did. Inch by inch, they drove the Council’s men toward the broken gates, their blades painting the snow in crimson arcs.

For a moment, hope flickered. For a moment, it seemed the wolves might hold.

The Monster Revealed

Then the emissary raised his hand.

From the shadows of the forest beyond the gates, something stirred. Chains rattled. The ground trembled.

And then it came.

A beast in man’s shape, taller than two men, its skin pale and stretched tight over muscle, its eyes burning with unnatural fire. Shackles clung to its wrists and ankles, etched with runes that glowed faintly.

A weapon of the Council.

Gasps tore from the wolves’ throats. Even Azael’s jaw clenched as he recognized what stood before them.

A Fleshbound. One of the Council’s abominations—men twisted by forbidden alchemy into monsters of war.

The creature roared, the sound rattling the very stones of the monastery.

And then it charged.

The Clash of Beasts

The Fleshbound slammed into the wolves, scattering them like straw. Its fists crushed men like insects, bones snapping with sickening cracks. Azael’s warriors screamed, some breaking, some standing firm only to be torn apart.

Azael stepped forward, blade ready.

“Back,” he ordered, voice like iron. “This one is mine.”

The Fleshbound turned, its burning eyes locking on him. It snarled, lips peeling back from broken teeth.

Azael raised his silver-veined sword. His muscles tensed. His breath steadied. He whispered once more the words of the Sutra.

And then, with the fury of a wolf, he charged to meet the monster.

    Silver Fang Sutra: The Doctor of WarChapter 50: The Howl That Chose the SkyThe Temple of the Howl stood beneath a sky that had begun to change. The stars, once distant and cold, now pulsed with a rhythm that matched the Heartstone’s beat. Wolves had stopped calling it a sanctuary. They now called it a beginning. The six Sutras carved into its bones had become more than memory — they had become movement. Packs no longer fought for territory. They gathered for verses. They didn’t howl for dominance. They howled for truth.And yet, beneath all this peace, a question lingered.What comes after the last Sutra?Azael had asked himself this every night. He would walk the Temple’s highest corridors, alone, listening to the wind as if it carried answers. Lyra had noticed the change in him. He no longer burned. He no longer bled. He simply watched — like a wolf who had fought every war but still feared the silence that followed.Ember, now revered as the Flame of Memory, had begun to teach. H

  • Chapter 49: Beneath the Temple, Beyond the Flame

    Silver Fang Sutra: The Doctor of WarChapter 49: Beneath the Temple, Beyond the FlameThe Temple of the Howl had never been more alive. Its walls pulsed with memory, its halls echoed with stories, and its heart — the Heartstone — glowed with the warmth of five Sutras now etched into its bones. Wolves from every corner of the realm had gathered, not for war, but for wisdom. The howl had become more than a cry — it had become a language, a legacy, a light.And yet, beneath all the celebration, something stirred.It began with a tremor.Barely noticeable at first — a faint vibration beneath the eastern wing of the Temple. The keepers dismissed it as shifting stone. The elders called it the breath of the Sutras. But Azael knew better. He had felt this before — not in battle, but in silence. The kind of silence that comes before a scream.He stood alone in the chamber of echoes, where the oldest verses were carved. Lyra found him there, her presence as steady as ever, though her eyes betra

  • Chapter 48: The Daughter of Fire and Memory

    Silver Fang Sutra: The Doctor of WarChapter 48: The Daughter of Fire and MemoryThe Temple of the Howl had never seen a dawn like this. The sky above was painted in hues of crimson and gold, as if the heavens themselves were bleeding into the horizon. Wolves gathered in silence, their eyes fixed on the eastern ridge where the sun threatened to rise but hesitated, as though unsure of what it might find below. The Sutras — Silver Fang, Spark, Ash, and now the Nameless — pulsed faintly within the walls, whispering verses that no longer belonged to history, but to prophecy.Azael stood at the highest balcony, his cloak billowing in the wind, his claws resting on the stone rail. He had fought gods, buried masks, rewritten destiny — but nothing had prepared him for the fire that now walked among them. Ember, the daughter he never knew he had, had awakened something ancient within the Temple. Her presence was not just powerful — it was transformative. Wolves who had once feared the flame no

  • Chapter 47: The Flame Beneath Her Heart

    Silver Fang Sutra: The Doctor of WarChapter 47: The Flame Beneath Her HeartTemple of the Howl was no longer just a sanctuary — it had become a legend. Wolves from distant lands came not to fight, but to listen. To walk its halls was to walk through history. To touch its stones was to feel the pulse of those who had howled before. And at the center of it all stood Azael and Lyra — not as rulers, but as reminders.But peace, like memory, is fragile.It began with a whisper.A young wolf named Elen, barely past her first howl, collapsed near the Heartstone. Her body trembled, her eyes rolled back, and from her throat came a voice that was not hers.“She is coming.”The Temple froze.Riven, now older and slower, rushed to her side. He placed his paw on her chest and closed his eyes. When he opened them, they were glowing.“She carries the Flame,” he said. “But not ours.”Azael stepped forward. “Whose then?”Riven looked at Lyra.And whispered, “Yours.”The silence that followed was not

  • Chapter 46: The Wolf Who Forgot His Name

    Silver Fang Sutra: The Doctor of WarChapter 46: The Wolf Who Forgot His NameThe Temple of the Howl had grown quiet in recent days. Not the silence of peace, but the hush that comes before a storm. The Ash Sutra was being carved deeper into the stone walls, and with every line etched, the air grew heavier. Wolves who had once walked proudly through the halls now moved with caution, as if the very ground beneath them had begun to remember something it was never meant to recall.Azael sat alone in the chamber of memory, where the three Sutras now stood side by side — Silver, Spark, and Ash. He had not slept in days. The claw of the forgotten wolf still pulsed faintly on the Heartstone, and each time he touched it, a new fragment of history bled into his mind. But this time, something was different. The memory did not come as a vision. It came as a voice.It was not loud. It was not angry. It was tired.“You wrote me out,” the voice said. “But I never left.”Azael stood, his breath shal

  • Chapter 45: The Third Flame

    Silver Fang Sutra: The Doctor of WarChapter 45: The Third FlameTemple of the Howl had become more than stone and memory. It was now a living entity — breathing through the stories etched into its walls, pulsing with the footsteps of wolves who came from every corner of the realm. The Silver Fang Sutra and the Spark Sutra had merged, not just in ink, but in spirit. And yet, even in this newfound peace, Azael felt a tremor beneath the surface — a whisper that refused to die.He stood at the edge of the southern cliff, where the wind carried the scent of distant dunes and forgotten ruins. Lyra joined him, her presence as steady as the blade she no longer needed to draw. They had fought gods, buried masks, and rewritten prophecy. But something still lingered — something older than flame, deeper than howl.Riven had sensed it first. The blind seer had begun speaking in fragments again, his voice trembling with visions he couldn’t fully grasp. He spoke of a third Sutra — one that had neve
