Soul Of The Moon

The First Calling: The Drifting Wolf

Will ran across an endless path of snow, switching between her human and wolf form constantly. The black and white wolf kept on glancing behind her, trying to spot her stalker. But every time she looked back, nothing was there, just her tracks imprinted in the snow. Although she could not see anything, Will could just sense someone there. What she saw the next time she turned back made her stop immediately and stare intently.

Will saw her stalker. Her savior. Her friend. Her Soul.

Will jerked up from her position on the ground. She looked around to see her placed in a patch of grass surrounded by trees and 4 boys surrounding her, looking at her with a mix of surprise, concern, and interest. "Um, excuse me, but, who are you?" Will asked with a look of confusement on her face.

Kiba watched the girl they had found this morning toss and turn. Her wild red hair swishing back and forth over her angelic face. They had found her in the middle of a barren wasteland, badly wounded and almost dead. He went over that morning's events as they waited for her to awaken.

This Morning

Four young boys walked along a road in a barren desert. "So, we saved Cheza, she died, Blue left with the old man, the lovebirds ran off together, and we didn't find paradise. What's next, Kiba?" A boy with orange hair and a collar asked a black haired boy with blue eyes. "We keep searching, Hige." Kiba replied simply. "You guys with me?" Another boy, with brown hair and brown eyes said, "You bet!" "Thanks Toboe. Tsume?" Kiba asked a tall man with silver hair. "No where else to go but up." He replied coolly. "With you all the way." Hige said making a thumbs-up sign. "Then lets go." Kiba said looking up.

"Hey Kiba! There's someone up ahead, and they look hurt." Toboe said running up and bending down next to the body and checking their pulse. "She's still breathing but I think she's pretty badly injured." He informed them as they caught up to him. "Tsume, help me carry her over to a safe place." Kiba said, slinging one of her arms over his shoulder. Tsume nodded and imitated Kiba with her other arm.

They carried her into a nearby forest and set her in a patch of grass, where Toboe bandaged her up. Once he finished, they all waited for her to wake up.

Present

Kiba broke out of his reminiscence when he heard the girl speak. He looked into her brown eyes and remembered that they forgot to introduce themselves. "I'm Kiba. That's Toboe, Hige, and Tsume." He said pointing at them each in turn. They all waved in greeting except for Tsume, who just nodded. "We found you out in the middle of the desert, injured. Who are you and what happened?"

Will put herself in a sitting position. "Um hello you guys. My name's Will Kage. I was injured in a fight with some freaks that wanted something from me. I don't know who they are and what they want from me." Will replied looking down. "They said I was the 'Soul of the Moon'. I asked what they meant, but the group had disappeared."

"Hey! I've heard of the Soul of the Moon! It's-"Toboe exclaimed. But before he could finish, a group of dark brown wolves surrounded them. "I-It's the wolves from before!" Will stuttered.
