Chapter 2

Prophecy of Sound

"Has the drug worn off yet?" the stranger asked.

"No, not completely." It had been 7 hours since the stranger rescued me. He was able to make a kill and we were eating a hot meal. My first in a long time.

"Why did you save me?" He stared at me.

"You do not know?"

"No"

"What is your name?"

"Asathna of the Wolf Clan and you?"

"I have no name. Wolf Clan. Then have you not yet heard the prophecy?"

"No I have not. Tell me please." He closed his eyes and recited a practiced poem.

"Bone of the Ally. Become the weapon for your friend.

Flesh of the Bone kin. Become the Sustenance for your descendant.

Blood of the Enemy. Help your foe defeat you.

The boy 15 summers of age.

Born at autumns end.

One who runs with the moon and raised in the forest.

Reader of the flames.

Defeat the great demon when Taurus's eye glows red.

The boy that sees the soul of life,

And the man that hears the sound of the wind."

"The Listener"
