If you haven't read The Legend Of Wolfstar yet, STAY HERE. DON'T READ IT UNTIL YOU'RE DONE READING THIS STORY, IT MAKES THINGS MAKE A LOT MORE SENSE LATER. For all you others, I've had many people ask me how Wolfstar had become Kami's student. I had thought of this for a while too, but I asked myself: How can I make a story of someone with no name? SO… I had to improvise! Hope you like it!
This story is being made so I can possibly get more time to make a new chapter for The Legend Of Wolfstar. I'll be sure to send out a bunch of stories while I'm thinking up of what to put next on the Legend Of Wolfstar, so don't worry about it. I won't stop until it's finished… I hate when things end, so I'm dragging it out for as long as I can, lol, I love the suspense.

The Life Of A Guardian
My ship had landed on a mysterious green lush planet with trees very different then mine; I command the door to open. "Piccolo," My strong voice shakes as I say the name, and the floor shifts under me, levitating down to the ground below. I've been here for 30 years, but I've been too afraid to leave the area around my home. Not ever talking, I've long since forgotten what my name was a long time ago. In order to learn their language, I've expanded my hearing to the maximum on the organisms of the planet when I was a mere child, and when I did, they called this place… Earth.
I've been waiting here for possibly my whole life since I was a young child. I remember on the first days of awakening that I had found a small note, with it saying, "Wait here, we will be back soon." I place the note in my gi and run my tongue around the inside of my mouth, feeling the cracked surface of the roof of it.
I'm running out of water. I'm going to have to leave some time or another. As I step onto the hardened soil, I breathe in the fresh air. So, let's see… I close my eyes and expand my senses to the breaking point, and sense some running water in a river, but it's near a few life signatures. Great, here we go… I turn back to my home. How peculiar… It has four legs coming out the bottom of it, with no furniture or anything… Oh well… I boost my energy and float into the sky. … Always knew it was different.
So long, old friend, I think, and wave goodbye to my home. This time, I'm leaving for good. I've waited long enough for my parents to come for me, but so far no such luck. They can sense out my energy if they want to find me, I reassure myself. I blast into the distance towards the general direction of the nearest life source.
While I'm going, I just can't help but think: How did I get here in the first place? Don't my parents want me? Why haven't they found me yet and taken me home, wherever that is? Taking out the note, I stare into it with longing, but place it back and shake my head. There are no more excuses for thinking like a child; those years are behind you now. I boost my powers and jet forward.
It is night before I reach the lone house. Sighting the small building, a home maybe, I land behind it away from the creature's view, in which they call themselves, 'humans.' I look back onto the building, and see that it's made of solid rock. How did they shape it, I wonder. I rub my hand along it, feeling the rough surface. I shy my hand away and jump onto the roof when someone walks close, having heard my gasp at the touch of their home.
"Who's there?" I hear a tall one say, with short hair. It's carrying a black stick with a brown handle… Another one, with longer hair and a sleeker figure stands next to him. "Calm down, man it's probably just some dog." So, this creature here is of the male species… Then what is the other? It looks different. I need to move on. I've already nearly blown my cover here. But before I leave, I hear a small voice, "Let's go check on the hostages." Hostages? Must be some kind of thing that they eat. I shrug it off.
Leaping into the air, I fly into the distance. I've got to be more careful this time. Spotting the river, I land onto a gigantic boulder, and marvel at the sight. There are mysterious greens everywhere, wind blowing past my head, making my antennae wave back and forth. There are strange organisms here, with four legs instead of two, some with hair all over their bodies, others with scales that swim in the waters. I breathe in, and breathe out, feeling refreshed. It's been a long day. I go to the river's bank and cup my hand, pulling it back up to my lips to drink. I let out a satisfied and shocked moan as the cool water runs down my throat. This water tastes fresher, unlike that in my abandoned haven.
Walking into the forest, I marvel at the sights; in the place where I've been living, there has been none of these… bushes… or trees… only cliffs… it's incredible. I spot a small animal nibbling on something near a tree's base; as I look at it in wonder it races up a tree. I let out a chuckle of amusement. What a nice place; I hadn't noticed the hours passing by like minutes, the sun is setting. I soon reach an abnormally large tree, and decide that this is where I will stay for the night.
I sigh, and lean against the tree for support on my back, feeling satisfied. I've done so much today, learned much-needed knowledge. Then I do something that I've never done before. I yawn, opening my mouth wide for the stars in the sky to see. I'm not used to the darkness, but the moon is full, so I can still see. But not as much as I'm able to. I don't know why, but the darkness of this place doesn't seem natural to me, nor will I ever get used to it, even though I've dealt with it for over 30 years. I feel my eyes begin to droop as my mind overflows with the sights. Giving in to the tiredness, I slip into slumber.
"La la la la... dress the green man in flowers la la laaa laaaaaaa…" I hear a soft voice and snap my eyes open to a small creature with long black hair, and brown eyes. It sees me and screams while I do the same, except jerk away from it and kick my feet out, almost like a demented bear trying to climb a tree backwards. The human stops screaming, and starts to giggle at my seemingly comical act. I look down, and see that the human had stuck vividly colored flowers all over my gi.
"What's your name, green man?" The human asks, and I don't make a sound. I've long since forgotten how to talk, I was alone all my life. There was no need for such words to be thrown around with no one to listen to them. The human child waits for an answer, so I must give one. "I…" I rack my brain for the proper words to say. "…don't have a… name." The child gasps, and I look around to see if anyone else is here. Where there is a child, there must be an adult close by… I've learned that the hard way when I was younger with a dinosaur. "Oh…" It says, and the child sits down in front of me, crossing its legs. I don't move. It isn't scared of me? Such innocence…
"Are you… alone out here?" The child asks, and I nod my head quickly, wary that it might get its guardians. "It's ok, I'm alone too. My mama and papa were taken from me when bad people tried to take me away. They told me to run into the forest and eat the blueberries until they would come and get me," The child lowers its gaze to its feet. "But I haven't found them yet, and they didn't find me either." I suddenly feel sympathy for the human, and flinch as it looks back up. "You must be my guardian angel! My mama always told me that I would find someone special and someone strong to take care of me when I was alone, or if I got into trouble!" I flinch. It already trusts me, and now I must take care of it?! But I don't know what they eat, or if they drink… It interrupts my thoughts.
"I hate being alone in the dark during night-time… mommy said that I would grow out of it, but I'm 4 ½ now and I never did…" I cringe at the outburst. I can't leave her in this forest, it's dangerous. I hold out my hand to the human, and it shies away, wary of my sudden movement. I search my brain again for the words that would calm a human down. "Don't… worry, child… I will… keep you, safe…" I say, and it seems to understand. Yes! I'm getting good at this talking stuff. My voice may be shaky from miss-use, but luckily I haven't lost it from just saying the word 'Piccolo' over and over again to open the door to my home.
The child shyly holds its hand up, and slowly puts it into mine. The child looks very tired. "Do you… want me to carry… you?" I ask, and the human smiles and nods. Picking it up in my arms, it quickly falls asleep, and I search through my memories for the location of the house I saw yesterday. Floating back up into the sky, I make sure that I stay in a comfortable altitude so the human can still breathe. The human child awakens again, but it doesn't look down. "My name is Aluan, by the way, sorry. I almost forgot to tell you. My dad," It yawns. "… always tells me that a lady should tell people what their names are." I slow down suddenly. What's a… lady? I repeat the question aloud. "What is a lady?" I say, being sure to articulate. The child gasps again and giggles. "Well, there are girls, and there are boys. A girl is a she, or a her, or even a woman. A boy is a he, or a him, or even just a man. I'm a girl, by the way." Oh, so instead of using 'it' to describe the child, I must use… her, or she? Interesting. I look down upon she, no that doesn't sound right; I look down upon her, yes that's about it. I look down upon her, and… she is fast asleep. Good, I think I've got the new words down. I nod my head, contented with my newfound information, and fly a little faster to my location.
I don't get sleepy like humans do; I usually stay awake, and that is why my fears of the dark never cease their assault on my brain. The small girl is still sleeping soundly, ignoring the world's dread of night. Oh, how I wish I could do the same, but I don't sleep as often… probably once or twice every year-and-a-half or so… We hit some turbulence, and she awakens, staring down to the Earth below. She screams loudly and jerks her head back up to me. "Be… careful. I might, drop, you." I say as nicely and as fast as I could. Aluan doesn't stop, so I halt in the air, and she tenses up in my arms.
"You can fly?!" She says, half yelling half whimpering. I nod, isn't it normal for people to fly? "Can you, fly?" I ask, and she quickly shakes her head, clutching her small hands onto my gi for dear life. I hold onto her tighter. "Don't worry, I won't… drop you." Aluan starts to shiver. "It's c-c-cold…" She says, and cuddles into my chest. I'm taken aback by her sudden movement, and flinch. She looks up to my face. "I'm sorry, it's j-j-just so cold… I can't t-take it…" She whispers silently, so I hold her closer and use my ki to warm my body slightly, and as she falls back to slumber her lips pull back into a smile.
We arrive just outside the village, and I stop at a tree just beside the home that I've seen earlier. The man and woman are outside, sitting on a log. I look into the windows again, and notice a small streak of red along the window. It doesn't look natural. The girl awakens once more, and starts shaking as she sees the humans. "Those are the… people who took my parents… We need to go inside to see if they're ok!" She jumps out of my arms, and rushes behind the small building. There is a lone door, and Aluan drifts her hand into her pocket, taking out a small object. Jutting it into the door and twisting it, it slowly creaks open. "Come with me, green man, you need to see my parents!" She whispers loudly, as she grabs my hand. I warily walk step-by-step into the house, and she smiles the whole way, until we reach a room with an unholy stench. The floor is white tiled like my home, except with red streaks on it, like what I saw on the window.
Aluan freezes, and her voice shakes as she talks, "What, happened…?" She starts to laugh. "They must've dropped my paint on the floor, silly mommy!" This doesn't feel right, there is something wrong here. She said that the people outside took her parents, and her parents told her to run for a reason… What happened here? The people are still outside, so I must keep her quiet. "Stay silent, the… people outside might, hear us…" I say, and she stops laughing and stares. "Oh, mommy said that I just have to stay away from them because they want to play a game called hide-and-seek tag. She told me as long as I'm far from them or not seen, then I'm ok." She says boldly, but I'm not so sure. She tugs on my hand. "Come on; let's go to my room greeny weenie!" She drags me into a small room with a bed, a closet, and many small toys. But something is off. The window is broken, letting the cold air inside. She points to it.
"That's where daddy put me outside to start playing before the man outside told him that he was gonna give him a little shave, maybe cut some off the neck." I shudder. What does she mean? I don't get it… But something keeps nagging at my conscience. I must protect her, with my life, even, until she is safe. She opens a medium-sized box, about the same size as her, and pulls out a small object, starting to cuddle it. "What is… that?" I ask, and she smiles.
"It's my stuffed teddy bear, silly! I always have it with me, so I don't get scared." She whispers, taking heed of my words of warning from earlier.
THUD
Me and Aluan jump at the sound, and I grab her by wrapping one arm around her stomach and run for the closet. She starts to yelp in fear, so I cover her mouth with my hand. "Don't speak. These humans here to hunt. Stay shut." I say quickly, ignoring that I've spoken wrong with my shaky voice. She stops at my weird outburst and freezes when a voice sounds at the doorway. I quickly make the lights bust, and the door close using my telekinesis, and the human jumps and walks inside. "What happened, Scar? Is there someone here?" A feminine voice speaks, and I hear the other say, "No, Yakima, I just heard the light bust. Dang house is old. We can't stay here forever, the police are going to come soon. And that girl that escaped us will squeal like a pig if they find her."
"So what are we going to do?"
"Hunt her down… and kill her. Just like we did her parents, a slow death, we can cut her just like we did her mother and father, ha ha!"
I tense up as the words escape his lips. Kill? What does that mean? The girl must know, because she starts shaking with fear, and her heartbeat quickens along with her breathing as she tries her hardest not to scream, breathing in and out rapidly through her nose. My feet shift, and bump into a tower of books, knocking over one of them into the closet door, letting out a small sound of disturbance. I look through the crack of the door, and see that the one called Scar is staring intently at it.
"What was that?" He says, and slowly pulls out his black stick with the handle, shifting down a part until it clicks, and it goes back into place. He aims it at the door as he makes his way to it. I hold my breath, sweating rivers down my forehead. This is the first time I've felt a liquid run down my face, it must happen only when I'm in danger, or nervous and afraid. The girl jerks out of my arms, and covers my body with clothing to hide me. "Don't move, I don't want my guardian angel to get hurt." She whispers, and she pushes me deeper into the closet. Why would I hide? Aren't I supposed to protect her? The door handle to the closet creaks, side to side slowly, as if teasing us that our discovery is a game.
It jerks open, and Scar grabs Aluan by the arm, causing her to scream in shock. He yanks her into the room and throws her on the floor. He starts laughing as Yakima pulls out a sliver sharp thing by the handle. I know it isn't good. Yakima holds it to Aluan's throat, and I can't take it anymore. I jump out of the closet at top speed, and they are both shocked at my appearance, leaping back into the wall.
"Leave her, alone!" I yell, finding my voice, and shocking myself at its firmness, but my face doesn't change from seriousness all the same. Yakima drops the weapon, but grabs Aluan close to her shirt collar, holding her up. Scar holds up the black and brown stick, aiming it at me. "Where the f*** did you come from?!" He demands, sounding more like a question than a statement. I open my mouth but he interrupts. "It doesn't matter! Don't move another muscle! We're not here to play cosplay, you green fool!" I ignore the comment, and walk closer. He aims it at my knee and a loud bang is heard, echoing into the valley. I let out a yell of pain and drop to my hands and knees, the damaged one bleeding badly, staining the ground purple. What did he do to me?!
"Help me!" Aluan yelps as the couple run out the room. I get to my feet and wince at the pain, but ignore it, running towards Aluan's screams of terror. I can't run anymore, so I jet out the door, and spot Scar and Yakima. They both jerk around at the sight of my flying abilities, and Yakima holds the knife to Aluan's throat again. "Move one more inch and I'll kill her!" Aluan shakes her head side to side, trying to jerk away from the weapon. I feel a rage begin to rise, and I suddenly see that time has slowed down to a slow halt, I can tell because it takes a full 10 seconds for them to blink their eyes. Taking advantage of the moment, I leap from my position, bursting my ki to the limit as I grab Aluan, and land a few meters away, wincing at my knee once more.
Time goes faster again, and Scar and Yakima look to their supposed hostage in my grasp. Scar leaps back. "He's a monster, a monster!" He leaps into the forest, and disappears into the distance, Yakima following in hot pursuit. Aluan doesn't breathe, only paralyzed in my arms. "How did you…" She starts, but then yells as she remembers what her previous captors said. "They said that they… stabbed my parents, a-a-and, killed… them…" She jumps out of my grasp and races back through the door. I follow in hot pursuit, levitating above the ground, not able to put any pressure on my knee. There goes that word again… kill. I don't like the sound of it. I hear yet another scream, but this one is in despair. I race beside her and see that she is staring at a door covered in red. It can't be good.
"Whose blood is that!?" She yells, and my eyes widen. Wait, they have red blood?! "You guys, have… red blood?" I say, faster than normal. She turns to me, and nods her head, remembering that I had purple blood instead of red. I think over the situation. What if her parents had lost all of their blood? They might not be ok… I put my hand on her shoulder. "You may not want to… go in there. You might not, like what… you see." I say. I wrap my hand on the door handle, which is surprisingly small. I slowly turn it, and Aluan jumps behind me, wary of what could be behind the door.
Nothing could've prepared us for this.
So, how is it so far? I'm curious as to see what you think! Oh, and just to make sure, the girl Aluan is not Wolfstar, and the namekian is not Piccolo, for those who have forgotten. The namekian in this story is Kami and King Piccolo before they separated into opposing beings.
