** This is a Little Mermaid version with a slight twist in the animal kingdom. All of these characters are characters I have created. None of them I take personal. This is my very first story worked on completed. Please enjoy! **
Since the beginning of time, there was a huge feud within the animal kingdom. The canine group were fighting back and forth saying that the other team were enemies and they are not to be trusted at all. Everyone in both the wolf clans and the dogs all around the world knew and did not want it changed at all. The only two that would like to have a change within would be Aaron and Alexander, the youngest pups in the wolf clan. Since they were brothers from a royal wolf clan, they did everything together. When they are together, they look alike, but the only thing that anyone can tell the difference between them was their marks on their fur. Aaron would have the mark on his forehead and Alexander would have his on the back of his left leg. Their dream was only just the beginning as their journey had begun.
One day, a few dogs were walking down the garden that was near the forest with their humans. As they started to make a turn, there was a beautiful butterfly that caught one of the dog's attention. She tried to capture the butterfly and chased it, but one of the dogs stopped her.
"Emily," he stated as she stopped in her tracks. "Let's go."
She stood there silently with confusion and looked towards the woods seeing why he stopped her. As she glanced at the forest, her friend came to her by the side.
"There are wolves over there and will kill us alive, Emily. You must be careful and cautious." her friend May cautiously stated.
Since Emily understood what her friend meant, she left the area where she saw the butterfly and joined her group. The butterfly that she was catching earlier flew deep into the woods and ended up inside the place where the wolf clans have lived and where Aaron and Alex's journey will begin.
At that time, there was a huge ceremony that was in effect for the memorial of the king that recently was killed by a hunter and his dog from what they have learned. The queen and her sons walked to them to show respect to their father. When the queen's supervisor, Starlight, was looking at each of the son's for a count, she found that there were five sons that came and the two boys were missing and the only two that were not there at that time was the two youngest sons as usual. She flew up to the sky to find the two mischievous pups and bring them back before the queen finds out. As she searched high and low for the two pups, Aaron and Alexander were playing in the outlands, which is known the junkyard for humans, finding the unknown objects from the dogs clans. There were things that were new for them that they wanted to collect. There were: squeaky toys, collars, and other things that were unknown to them. Since they were coming back from the junkyard, Starlight had finally found them and flew towards them.
"Where have you two been and what on earth are you carrying in that bag?"
"We've been wandering around the forest and the bag has our treasure that you cannot see." Alexander, one of the pups mentioned.
"Really?" she stated, without conviction, "Then why would you be doing on this side of the forest when you should be at home!?"
Aaron, the other pup, stood there silent and quiet.
"Well?"
"You don't need to push us around, Starlight," Alexander started, "even if you are the supervisor from our mother."
"Do not give me that type of tone to me, sir." she argued by pointing her wing to Alexander.
"What's going on, Starlight?" a voice was mentioned behind her.
"Mom," Alexander spoke.
Aaron was in shock and bowed lightly to her.
"Your highness," Starlight shockingly spoke as she bowed to the ground, "What a surprise to see you here!"
"No need. I was about to ask you something about my sons, but for some reason, you were not where you were from the beginning and I followed you here."
Starlight gulped lightly and began to speak in an apologetic tone.
"No need to apologize. Just found my answer in front of me."
Aaron and Alexander looked at each other in the eyes thinking: 'We're in trouble'
As the two pups, the mother and the bird started to move away from the place, there were two snakes that followed them outside the area. As they came to the throne room area, the snakes fled towards the deepest part of the forest where a cougar had laid and was banished from the group of wolves due to the fact that she almost tried to take the power of the throne that contained power unlike anything that the forest has ever seen.
"What news have you brought me, my snakes?" the cougar called.
"The pups," claimed one of the snakes, "have been running away from home again."
"Really?" the cougar mentioned slyly. "Which ones?"
"The youngest twins." replied the other snake.
"The twins, eh? They seem to always get into some sort of trouble, don't they?"
The two snakes nodded.
"Well, then," she spoke slyly, "We would need to keep continuing every move. They may have the way for me to contain the power. Bring me more news about them and do not lose sight of them."
"Yes ma'am."
Meanwhile, in the courtyard deep in the forest, the queen, Starlight, and the twins were discussing what has happened this morning. The five older brothers and the queen stood there with the marks on their furs which each of them contained the father's power, according to rumors. The eldest contained the mark on the chest, the second contained the mark on the tail, the third on the right leg in the front, the fourth brother on the left front leg, the fifth brother on the right back leg and the queen had the mark on her right paw and left eye.
"What do you have to say for yourself for you two?" the queen requested as the twins stood there in disappointments, "you were told to be at the ceremony to honor your father's death and this is how you repay his respect? Leaving the area and getting things far from the palace? Well?"
Aaron stood there silently as Alexander moved forward to speak.
"It is my fault, mother. Please do not punish my brother. It is my responsibility and . . . "
"You have no right to speak!" snapped his eldest brother, Adam.
"Neither do you, Adam." Alexander argued back. "You are not king yet and the punishment will go in behalf of mother, not you!"
"Silence, all of you!" the queen replied.
Silence came into the room.
"Now, both of you are not allowed to have access to the outlands again. It has become dangerous for you two pups and as the queen of this clan, I will not allow you two to become fur skins for the humans and the wolves."
"They are not wolves, mother!" Alexander barked at her.
"Don't backtalk with that tone!" the second one, Abraham argued to Alexander, "This is something that you pups wouldn't understand."
"Yeah," the third one, Alpha agreed.
Alan and Andrew looked at the brothers and the twins. Due to the fact that they barely talked much to mother, their three eldest brothers, Starlight, or the twins anything, they were not allowed to speak until they were told to.
"Alexander and Aaron," the queen decreed, "I forbid you to contained any contact in regards of those mongrels ever. Is that clear?"
Alexander couldn't agree nor disagree as well and left before the queen turned to speak to them.
"Alexander, return here at once!" the queen commanded.
He didn't reply as he ran towards the door.
"My sons, you are all dismissed. Except you, Aaron."
Everyone except Aaron and Starlight had left the premises of the throne room.
"Well, are you and your brother going to accept my decree?"
Aaron stood there and didn't respond.
"The silence doesn't speak, my boy. You need to be able to respond soon enough. You may be dismissed."
He bowed and left the premises. Starlight and the queen stood there in an empty room.
"You have done the right thing, your majesty." Starlight spoke during the long silent moment.
"Did I?" she questioned Starlight. "Then why do I not feel powerful to my children like I would have with my people?"
"Well, your grace, that is what happens when a child is close to the mother. If you have a way to break their ice to get to their place, they may open themselves to you."
"You believe so?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Then, I decree that you will watch my children."
"Why, ma'am, I would be delighted, however, I am your supervisor, not a nanny."
"True, but you know how to keep things in order. Report to me if there is anything that they have done that is incorrect that I have told them."
"Yes ma'am."
The queen dismissed her supervisor and Starlight flew around her area to find the seven children. She went to each of them as they roamed around in the wolf kingdom and saw that everyone was enjoying life in the wild and felt such peace.
As the evening started to set, she noticed that the twins were nowhere to be seen. She went to go find the twins around the area and started to search for the most common places that they could've gone. As the moon was about to rise, Starlight still was unable to find them, but then she heard a whimpering sound by the mountainside. She flew towards a hole that lead to the caves. As she landed on the ground, she noticed some toys and some things that the humans and dogs have used all around the cave. As Starlight looked below the cave, she saw Aaron looking at the baseball as Alexander was finishing organizing the things that they have found on the outlands earlier today.
"I can't believe that mom would take that right away from us!" Alexander complained. "That doesn't seem right for her to take that away. If dad was here, he would allow us to go as we pleased."
Aaron just nodded and sighed deeply as he looked at the ball
"Are you alright, Aaron?"
Aaron nodded.
"You don't seem like yourself. What's wrong?"
"It's just," Aaron replied as he looked at the moon, "why wouldn't Mother see what we see?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, yes, wolves out there are dangerous, but they are still us. Why can't she see the similarities from there?"
"I know."
"Do you still remember our wish, Alex?"
'Wish?' Starlight questioned as she was eavesdropping.
"Yes, I remember. What about it?"
"I want that wish to come true. To be equal with the dogs."
'What?!' Starlight shockingly thought as she started to fly upwards, but there were leashes that were above her head and caught her and she started to fall.
The pups heard the commotion and went towards the noise. At that moment, they saw Starlight in the premises. She was trying to escape before the pups knew, but the leashes got a hold of her and was unable to flee.
"What are you doing here, Starlight?" Alexander asked in shock.
"I was about to ask the same thing here, you two." Starlight responded as she started to get up and remove the leashes off of her wings.
"It seems as though you now know." Aaron responded.
"Indeed, I do. Now if your mother knew about this place, she-" Starlight started to command.
"You were about to tell her?!" Alexander blurted out.
"Now, what made you think that I would say that?"
"You are the queen's supervisor," Aaron stated, "you report to her about anything."
"True." she replied, "but just because that I am the supervisor, doesn't mean that I-"
As she was about to finish her sentence, "Boom!" went the noise that was outside of cave and light started to shine in the sky with color. Aaron heard the sound and started to walk to the top of the cave.
"Now, where do you think that you are going?" Starlight asked him abruptly.
He didn't respond. Starlight and Alexander started to follow him. As Aaron reached the top of the cave entrance, he saw fireworks shooting the night sky. Sparkles were floating towards the ground, colors were sprouting out of the explosion. Alexander and Starlight saw the same thing as well.
"That's not good," Starlight feared, "Man has found our land. We need to report this at once to the queen."
That didn't stop Aaron as he started to follow the area where the fireworks were shooting at. Alexander followed him and left Starlight as she noticed that they were about to break their mother's order.
"Alexander! Aaron! Get back here!" Starlight commanded, but they didn't listen.
** Who will be there where the fireworks have been shot at? Will the pups find their wish come true? Kind of have the same similarities when Ariel from TLM saw the ship come and she saw fireworks from that exact ship. Will they find their true love? Find out! Please review! **
