Hello, I am Nightstorm aka Stormy. I was the brother of Bellheart and a mentor to Benpaw. I protected the Sierra Travelers Clan with my loyalty and courage for almost four years now. I have chosen the world of Treasure Planet where Jim Hawkins and Silver is. I introduced Benpaw to the world of movies since he came to the clan from his old home in Bearberry's chosen world. If you remember her, then Benpaw is her son and he was a wolfdog, but now he is human and he is adjusting well. He wishes to come with me to Treasure Planet. Benpaw has a big crush on Jim while I have feelings for Silver. Anyhow, our story begins on Benpaw's warrior ceremony.
It was a day of rain, and the park was mostly quiet. I became 20 years old quite a few moons ago, and I have received my totem necklace on that day. It is a chain of bronze, holding a gold doubloon and a mini model of Treasure Planet. Not bad, huh? I was wearing a thick long-sleeved dark blue shirt with a black vest, a medium blue belt holding my tan khakis pants up, and matching black ankle-high boots. I had a bronze earring at the tip of my left ear, and a scar on my chin. I got that from a particular nasty battle with one of the rival gangs. I was heading to HQ, greeting some clanmates, and riding the elevator to down below. I came out, smiling and looking for Benpaw.
Suddenly I was bowled roughly, and I pounced back, surprising my pursuer, and we battled a bit, until my equal fighter surrendered.
"Alright, okay, okay, I give up, Stormy!". shouted my apprentice. Benpaw.
"Easy, Benpaw. You need to be more patient once you fight, and keep going until you know when it's enough. Although, good job on the surprise strategy. I never saw you there. And that tumble move, you are getting well at it, through you need to control your instincts.". I replied.
Benpaw looked at me, "Really, Stormy? I still react on my old canine instincts, and they seemed to help yesterday. I feel like I don't want to let go of my canine past, but I love to be human. It's fine, visiting back home and here sometimes, but I wish I could still had my tail and fangs. I don't balance right once a while when I try the hunter move, and my fangs can penetrate better than my human teeth anyway.". and frowned confusedly.
I sighed, "Benpaw, perhaps that could happen once we get to Treasure Planet. After all, we will find out what we are, once we're there. Besides, reacting isn't all bad, yes, it very much helps with fighting.". with a smile. Benpaw grinned happily at that, and mussed his long shoulder-high black hair, his green eyes shining. He had pale brown skin, and his old white stripes became part of his clothes. He wore a white shirt with a picture of Jim solar-surfing, a green jacket with black lining, black pants, and dark blue ankle-high boots. He is 16 years old in human time, and when he was a wolf-dog, he was 1-year-old then.
When we were speaking, Sunrise came over to us smirking. I looked at her curiously, and Benpaw nervously smiled at her.
"I saw Benpaw's moves. He has done excellently, and soon, he will be a warrior. But, first, should you get some food in yourselves before you two leave us then?". Sunrise asked gently. I nodded, and told Benpaw to go ahead, and happily he went, to the cafeteria, grabbing lunch for him and me. Sunrise asked me of what Benpaw's warrior name should be, and I replied an answer before telling her that I had to go to my room. She nodded and left. I went on to my room, which is number 10. I shared my room with Benpaw. I went in, the floor painted like the sky, full of clouds, and the walls, ceiling painted like the known galaxy we call home. My bed is black with stars, and next to it is Benpaw's dark blue hammock. The bathroom had a cream sink, tub, while the toilet is porcelain. The floor is marble tiles, and the walls, ceiling is covered with pictures of Treasure Planet characters. Benpaw came in with two plates for us to eat, and we ate on my floor. Before we headed out, Benpaw tied his hair into a low ponytail, while I grabbed my most treasured possession to take with me.
We walked out, closing my door, and going to the portal room where everybody was waiting. Sunrise was front of the portal, hiding something in her hands. I nodded to Benpaw to go forward before Sunrise, bowed to her, glancing up at her, waiting.
"Today, we give a beginning for one of our apprentices of the Sierra Travelers Clan, Benpaw. Before this clan, I seeked permission to make you a warrior, and they all gave it. Do you promise to remember the motto of this clan, and remember that you are never alone?". Sunrise steadily asked.
"I do, Sunrise." Benpaw sincerely replied.
"Then, with hope and excitement for your journey, you are not Benpaw anymore, for I name you, Benflight, in example of your skills and courage.". Sunrise calmly announced. And placed his new totem necklace around Benflight's neck. Interesting, makes sense. Benflight's totem is a silver winged wolf with shining emerald eyes. The clan echoed Benflight's name, and Benflight looked so happy and excited. I patted his shoulder excitedly, and he looked over at me, thanking me. I shrugged it off casually. Sunrise shouted over the clan's cheers, and we turned in her direction and saw that she turned the portal on. She nodded, gesturing for us to go on. With goodbyes and shakes, I and Benflight entered the portal with enticement.
The tunnel was dark, and there was shadows of light, until a bright light glowed near us. Benflight saw it first, and surprised to find that it was the treasure map. I came over, and we struggled to unlock it until there was a click and Benflight worked it from there, and the map showed up. The map's detailed visual universe was all around us, and Benflight looked so awed as I looked for Montressor, the spaceport, or Treasure Planet. Then I found Montressor. Benflight and I looked at each other, and nodded, and we touched Montressor. Blackout.
