"In fire, we can see our past and our coming. For, as with us and
our time,
these flames are solely born through the complete and utterly
consumption
of its surroundings. By which, the fire itself is also condemned to
be
destroyed. Demanding, beautiful and very lethal, it lives itself to
death..."
The Flames Within
Prolog
A wolfs howl sounded through the
dense forest, crying out to the moon. Multiple howls followed it, thus an
orchestra of unique voices ran through the forest. Only one of the howls seemed
out of place from the many others. The reason for this was because it wasn't a
howl at all. It was the high-pitched wail of a child.
The cry told of the horrors that had
passed during the first few hours of the night, which left the child
parentless. A body had been dragged into the wood by predators that had left
the child alone only because of its wail and the fact that a yellow crescent
moon was glowing brightly on the child's forehead
The child stopped crying when a
large silver wolf started sniffing at her, other's of this wolfs pack standing
further away.
"What is it Shevia?" A black wolf,
the same size as the silver wolf, asked as it approached hesitantly.
These wolves weren't what you would
imagine them as. As tall as a grown man when standing on their hind legs and
reaching the same mans waist when on all fours, these wolves were smarted then
others. Royal wolves it what they were called. Larger, faster, and smarter then
normal wolves theses animals were well deserved of the name.
"I believe it is a two-legers child,
Blacknight." The silver, female, wolf replied while nudging the now giggling
child with her snout.
Blacknight snorted. "Then let us
leave it." The black wolf turned and started towards the rest of the pack.
Apparently this male wolf was the pack leader. The One Male. Ruler of the pack
along with his mate the One Female, Shevia in this case.
"I can not leave it to the scavengers
Blacknight! This is a sign from the Goddess. I asked for guidance and asked for
a sign that she had heard. This child is the sign Blacknight! Can you not see
how the Goddess has sent this child for us to care for?"
The hair on Blacknight's back
ruffled and settled again, only a low growl coming from deep in his thought. "Fine. If the child is to stay with the pack
it must be taught our ways and must be named. I will leave that to you, but I
will teach her our ways."
Shevia tackled her mate and licked
his nose. "Thank you Blacknight! I will call her Serenity. For she is peaceful
and radiates this." The name decided Shiva took the back of the infant's shirt
between her teeth and took her place with her mate.
And this is the begging of our story. A child with powers beyond her thoughts, none of these awakened as of yet, raised by wolves. To hunt with a pack and scavenge for her share, fighting with her brothers and sisters as play, and earning the respect of the one Male. No one would have guessed that the arrival of a single two-leggier would soon throw the wolf child into a vortex of confusion and many other feelings she never had.
