Author's Note: I know what you're thinking, 'WHY AREN'T YOU WORKING ON NEVER LET GO!?' And I am VERY sorry. It's just that I kept having really bad writer's block and I've had so many new ideas that eventually I just lost interest. I dunno if I'll continue it, but I'll do my best, I promise!! In the meantime, I'm working on this story, Spirit of the Wolf. It's a lot like NLG, but with some significant differences. Hope you like it!!
Special thanks to my wonderful friend and editor, Stephanie. You rock, dudette!!
The full moon was high in the sky, surrounded by twinkling stars. Its glow illuminated the dense woodland below, shedding light onto the forest floor. The soft winds rustled the branches of the mighty pines, who kept their green needles even in the coldest of winters.
No more than a few miles away, snow-capped mountains towered above the trees, making them look small and insignificant. The gray surface of the stone was ragged, casting shadows in the dark night that was lit only by the light of the moon and stars.
There was no civilization here. This world had been inhabited by many exotic creatures since the beginning of time. These magnificent beings thrived in the nature, some living together while others preferred to roam alone, depending only on themselves. Everything - from the crystal blue lakes and wide open plains to the dark forest and massive mountains - had been carved by Mother Nature herself.
That was how it was before.
But then he came. That one man changed everything, and turned the wonderful land into a nightmare. The mystical creatures were enslaved - forced to work against their will. He began collecting more from other worlds, bringing them into the ruined lands and forcing them to do whatever he may command. He tortured for his own pleasure, doing whatever he wished. No one opposed him, for they feared a punishment far worse than death. The prisoners who tried to escape were tormented until they begged to be killed, then thrown back in the dungeons far below the stone castle. No one - not even the strongest slave - dared to go against this man.
...Except for one.
And that one is the reason that the group of rebels lives now. He gave them courage, and told them that they should never give up. He was the reason the inhabitants of this world finally saw some hope in the reign of darkness that threatened them.
The enemy still lives, though, and his castle still stands. His dark supremacy still terrorizes this world, and there are few that are willing to fight against these powerful forces of evil. Even the one who freed so many others has failed to defeat him as of yet.
But a new hope is coming in the form of three who had lost their brother to this world - their brother whom is a hero in the eyes of all the creatures of this world, though they have no knowledge of that yet.
This is the story that is told to the children of those who survived the bloody war that ensued.
This is my story, for the creatures of the world view me as a hero despite the mistakes I've made.
Listen carefully, my friend, as I tell you my story...
...The story of one with the spirit of the wolf.
Author's Note: Short, I know, but the prologue was supposed to explain a bit so none of you guys get confused or anything. Not that you won't - you know how I love to confuse people. X3 I just wanted to give ya a lil insight. -winks- Anyways, I've already written up to chapter 4, so updates will be coming very soon. Ciao!!
