(Ducks flying inanimate objects) I'm SORRY! I don't know why, but I write when I think I have too much on my plate….and that hasn't happened for a LONG time, but now that it's my senior year and I'm off looking for colleges I have LOTS to do, so this is the perfect time for me to update! And at least I am, savvy?
First off I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed and is still reading this fan fiction even though I haven't updated in a LONG time….AnimeCrazy88, Invisible-Artist, Selphie108, kikyo AKA THE DEAD BITCH, Zachana16, Luna Moonlight Fawn, Sailor Stella, Marina, psycocowpie, and everyone else! THANK YOU!
Now, on with the story!
(I'll be putting things in bold like this when I start/end the chapter, or change time/scene, or do whatever, savvy?)
Moonfell didn't know how long they were traveling…but it seemed like forever. She didn't even know how her brother and tribe was doing, as they were too far out of rang to Send, but that was mainly because they were IN a mountain and she wasn't.
The only thought that ran through the elf's thoughts was Crescent. Not even Crystalwater ran through Moonfell's thoughts, which had disappeared….Probably to try and save Petalwing, who knows?
"We're coming up to my new pack…'
Moonfell snapped out of her daze and stared at her friend, 'So you did leave?'
'I knew you'd be around this part when you returned…I couldn't survive on my own, now could I?' The old voice held humor.
Moonfell smiled sadly as she gazed at her wolf-friend, 'yeah, I guess your right…'
Soon Moonfell heard howling coming closer, which was quickly followed by a small pack…a VERY small pack.
It consisted of just an old white wolf that had quickly ran to Crescent and smelled her. Three smaller cubs that were grey, black, and black and white. Finally were two younger wolves, one grey the other copper, each of a different gender. Crescent was right, they were small, but they were a pack none the less.
And at first, like all packs with a new wolf, they didn't trust Moonfell…but that was quickly rendered when Crescent gave a snarl and a loud growl/bark.
The small pack, now with a new member in Moonfell, traveled away from Blue Mountain and into the Forbidden Grove, where the Preservers dwell. Oh, that was fun. But in the end they reached where they intended, by the Human tribe that Cutter and Skywise had visited and given Nonna and Adar back their home.
Moonfell didn't know exactly why she wanted to go to that village, she just did. When she read of it, she just wanted to do so much around and in it.
So, when they were in a fair distance away from the village, Moonfell reluctantly left Crescent with her family and traveled a short distance to the village. Her arrival was met with a bit of confusion.
" EVIL HAS COME AGAIN! " The Bone Woman shouted as she was unfortunately the first to notice Moonfell enter the village.
Everyone turned to stare at the small girl that was no taller then one of their children. She had long black hair that was up in a lock that was twined into a silver crown. This contrasts her pale moon-like and large hazel eyes. She wore a black tight fitting shirt and cut off pants with no shoes. She also had with her a dagger, bow and arrows, sword, and various silver jewelry on her person. But the most eye taker on her was the wolf head that dangled on a silver chain around her neck.
Moonfell raised an eye brow at the ugly woman, they didn't exactly speak English…but it was close enough that she could understand some of it.
" Woman- you are one ugly beast I have ever seen… " Moonfell gave a roughish smirk, placing her hands on her hips. " I have come seeking…. "
" Another bird-spirit? " Another woman came up to Moonfell, who didn't even need others to identify this human. She had seen her in the comics that she remembered…Nonna, the Symbol Maker.
" Um…what? " Moonfell didn't quite understand, it was so like English, but yet so different.
Nonna smiled, " You must be a young bird-spirit, have you lost your way? "
Moonfell shook her head, a slightly offended expression dusting her features, " No, it just has been many moons since I have spoken this language. "
A bright light came onto Nonna's features, "Then, please, speak in your own tongue, for I shall understand you!"
'OH! That's right!' Moonfell gazed at Nonna in wonder, 'She's from the village by Blue Mountain, so therefore she should know the elf language! Because they speak it there! YAY!'
"I thank you Nonna, but I think I should keep with this tongue…Mainly for how I look to others."
" Nonna, what is this? "
Nonna quickly turned, while still hiding Moonfell, and smiled at her chief and husband. " We are all blessed three-fold! " she shouted happily before moving and letting everyone see Moonfell, who stood with a hand on her hip.
Chief Olbar sneered, " And what brings you here? "
Moonfell raised her eyebrow before smirking, " It seems your ego grows with you…. "
Olbar's eyes flashed as he stormed over to Moonfell, who was just loving all of this. " What was that, puny one? "
" You are too tall. " Moonfell said simply, jumping onto Olbar's shoulder. Though, truth be told, she tried to do it slowly so it looked as if she had flown there instead…it was just so much fun messing with Humans!
" Not too long ago, my bother Cutter and his friend Skywise came through here. I met with them after that and they had told me many good things about this village, so…I have to see this village for myself. " Moonfell looked around her as the humans gathered, " I have also came to thank Nonna and Adar for helping my brother… "
Then, silently, Moonfell gestured for those two to come close then she took off her sword, Full Moon. It was hard to part with it, but those two would need it more then her…that is, IF her plan went right.
" Adar, I give you my sword, Full Moon. Take is and protect your family, then give it to your first born, no matter which gender it is, and train them to use it as I will train you. "
Adar stared in wonder as the small sword was handed to him. To him is was a small dagger, maybe a little bigger, but it was sharp and would do well. Very well, indeed…
" To Nonna, I will give the gift of protection, I shall teach you to use a bow and arrows, and I give you jewelry to wear as a reminder that you are blessed. " Having said what she wanted, Moonfell jumped from Olbar's shoulder and landed close to Nonna. She then gently took off one of her silver bracelets and handed it to Nonna.
Nonna stared at the small bracelet that was shining silver and had a small talisman of a wolf head dangling from it. She put it on with some difficulty, but it eventually fit and was now shining happily around her wrist.
" Thank you, bird-spirit, for these wonderful gifts. " Nonna said happily, trying to hold back tears.
Moonfell nodded her head, " I will be back by dawn to train, be ready. "
With that Moonfell disappeared back into the forest, returning to her wolf-friend. Everything was in play; she had been planning this since she first read the comics around this time frame. She knew what she was going to do, even if the death of her wolf-friend wasn't in the plan in the first place.
Moonfell sighed as she finally jumped into the trees, she didn't want to fight a war. She hated war, ever since she was little. She had heard stories about it and frankly, war, in any form, was not appealing to her in the least. So she had made a plan to skip out on it until she was really needed. This idea was only reinforced when she thought of how the story would be changed if she had her say.
She loved this world, but not enough to change it forever…This was what she had to do…..
(End Chapter!)
So, what do you think? I say it's fairly an ok story, and don't worry! I'm writing the next chapter as you read this! lol! Please read and review! Thank you!
