Wolf speech
"Human speech"
*****
A fire burns in the night, the fire eating its way through a small village. The villagers, unsuspecting go their fate, lay sleeping in their beds. Having no clue about this painful death eating its way through the silent village.
A figure covered in ashes, carrying a bundle, could be seen running from a burning house. By now the whole village was in flames. The figure darted into the surrounding forest, running to a small pond not far from where the village still burned. The figure collapsed next to the pond, putting down the small bundle. The bundle moved and the head of a small boy, no older than five or six appeared. The figure reached into a belt pouch and pulled out a dagger, a blood red ruby glistened in the moons waning light. A rough voice whispered to the young boy.
"Take this Harry and keep safe, my son. I love you." Than the figure pushed himself up and headed back towards the village. The young boy watched the figure go.
"Daddy?" Whispered the boy. He curled up inside the brown blanket; he had been bundled up in and fell asleep.
Glowing yellow eyes could be seen in the darkness, and then the boy and the eyes were gone.
*** 5 years latter ***
FireKeeper, the One's call. (1) was heard on the howl of a wolf. The head of a ganglee black haired boy with emerald green eyes, popped up from behind a shelter of trees.
Coming. The boy stood up, from where he had been sitting next to a small fire that had long since burned out and the bones of a small animal laid beside it, and took off running. He glided through the forest towards the center of the Forbidden Forest in which he lived.
Little brother hop on. I can get you there faster.
Thank you my brother. He said and jumped onto the back a giant gray wolf with bright blue eyes.
How goes your hunting? Asked the wolf, Blind Seer, as he ran swiftly through the dark forest. The trees whip by in a big blur.
The hunting is slow but, plentiful. The Unicorns say that soon I'll be as good a hunter as the rest of the pack.
The Unicorns are right, Little brother. Your hunting skills are becoming very good. By then the two had reached the center of the forest. There many wolves of great height were laying. Two though were upon a rock in the center of the clearing. Jumping off Blind Seer, the boy walked up to the two mighty wolves and bowed.
You called. The boy said as he stood up from his bow.
Yes Firekeeper. It is time for us to tell you of your past.
My past? The boy asked confused, What about my past?
You will see. Come with us. The One Male said. He jumped down off the rock, followed by the One Female. The two wolves and the boy headed out of the clearing. Heading east towards a small flowing river. The boy followed, hurrying after the One Male and Female. They arrived at the river and followed it North. Not long after they started to follow the river, they came upon another clearing. This clearing was bigger that the one they met in. Young trees were growing. Smaller than the ones that he sometimes slept in.
What is this place? Firekeeper asked.
This place was once the home of humans. A great fire destroyed this place, killing all but one.
Dead wooden planks of rotting wood lay everywhere. Vines covered some. New saplings were starting to grow.
Who survived? Firekeeper asked turning away from the ruins of the village.
A young boy. This boy had black hair and green eyes. He was found by the river, curled up in a brown blanket, asleep. The One Male looked pointedly at Firekeeper.
Me? It was me? Firekeeper sat down where he stood. The One Female came over to him and laid down. Putting her head in his lap.
Have you never wondered where you got that scar of yours, young pup? She asked looking up at him.
No. I thought I got it form a fight or an early hunting lesson.
And your knife? Where did you think you got that? Asked the One Male coming over and laying down next to him.
Found it. He said simply, taking out the knife. The knife, despite the dirt encrusted handle, was well taken care of. The blade was sharp and clean. It hung in a small sheave that hung around his next over that of a small hand made bag holding the items he used to start a fire.
We found you and now we feel it's time for you to learn who and what you truly are. Firekeeper stood up and dusted off his clothing, which are made of animal skins, and looked down at the two wolves.
Are you saying that you don't want me anymore?
No that's it, Firekeeper We feel that maybe you would be happier with those of your own kind.
But I'm with my own kind. I might not look like a wolf but I'm a wolf at heart.
Yes, but we are all you know. How do you know that you are not human as well? Asked the One Female.
I'm not human. I'm wolf. He growled, and then he ran. Back the way they had come. The One Female made as if to go after him, but the One Male stopped her.
Let him go. The two wolves slowly headed back to where the rest of the pack was.
*****
He ran, the tree's whipped by him, tears making his eyes blurry. He ran through the clearing where the pack was. Not even stopping when Blind Seer called out to him.
Little brother! Firekeeper! Shouted Blind Seer. Come back here Little brother! Firekeeper didn't even slow down. Blind Seer took off after him, following him through the forest. The sun was setting, the wind was bitter, this fall. Promising to bring a cold, long winter.
Firekeeper, stop. Blind Seer said as he got in front of him, making him stop.
Leave me alone Blind Seer. Firekeeper said turning away from the gray wolf.
No. What's wrong? What did the One's tell you?
That I'm not a wolf and they want me to got he the humans. They want me to be a human. Firekeeper broke down crying. They don't want me in the pack anymore.
Don't say that. Of course they want you, but maybe you could go to the humans, see if you like them. If not, you come back and everything will be as it was. Firekeeper looked up at Blind Seer.
You really think that the One's will let me come back if I don't want to stay? He asked, hope shining in his emerald green eyes.
Yes, you are after all, part of the pack. Blind seer nuzzled Firekeeper. Come on lets got back. He stood up and climbed onto the wolf's back.
The One's ere there laying on the rack that they had been on before. All the wolves looked up as they entered the clearing.
I'll go.
Good, good. Blind Seer can go with you if he wishes Said the One Female. Firekeeper nodded, surprise showing in his eyes.
I'll go. Blind Seer said. When do we leave?
Tomorrow. The One Male said. Get some sleep, both of you. The two of them curled up together in a den in an old tree, a little ways from the clearing.
Good-night Little brother.
Good-night Blind Seer.
