Chapter 3

Morning slowly rolled into the sky, light shining threw the window; Trave shuddered at the light hitting his face, having a strong yawn and stretching out his arms and legs and thought to him self wow…what a bad dream… At lest I'm awake now… As he said this, he felt something weird… something new, something was wiggling behind him and he raised a brow and slowly sat up, to his sight the tip of a tail wiggled around at the side of the blanket behind him, he slowly started to move but the tail moved when he did.

This scared Trave for he thought it might be the wolf, but then noticed his bed was bigger then him now when it used to be normal to him. "What is…going on?" he felt his jaws not moving when he spoke, his eyes widened as he kicked up the blanket and a howl escaped his snarling snout as he now found him self as a small black furred wolf, he scattered to the floor with a thump as he landed on his back and he yelped with a slight bark'ish sound and got to his paws; standing on all four he looked around the room seeing everything was bigger now, even his pike looked huge to him "no….No….NO!... this is a dream, it has to be a dream!" he shouted with a longer and more angered howl, but as he was about to end his long scream he was tackled to the floor from the side by Shinen who pinned him down and bit his snout to hush and muffle his scream of fright.

Shhhh little one, you must be silent. Others will come and kill you if your found like this, If your not silent I'll bite you. Shinen spoke sweetly for the first part of her talk but then her voice went up into a light lecture tone giving him the idea she meant her words. Trave went silent as Shinen slowly let him go, leaving only a few teeth marks on his snout and his fur lightly wet from her saliva.

"What….what happened? Why am I like this… What you do to me? And Why did you do this to me?" he growled and snarled at her like a savaged wounded wolf. Shinen sat there waiting for him to finish his ranting and then she turned her back to him and got on her belly and crawled under the bed, her back legs still sticking out and tail wagging left to right as she was getting something, she growled and slammed her claws into the woodened floorboards and started to pull her self back out from under the bed, throwing his dagger to the floor with a chain tangled on the hilt of the dagger.

"That's… my dagger I cut my hand on… and that's what was keeping it down?" he looked closer at the dagger then moved his eyes to the chain which only wrapped around the fat base of the daggers hilt and saw it was attached to a bloody black gem and tilted his head to the side; tail wagging slightly out of the tension as he stared at the gem. "What is it? Why was it under MY house?" He growled at her as he spoke in the language of the wolves, not yet knowing he was.

Please my pup, speak to me threw your mind, and not your fangs. That gem is where you have splashed your blood upon to call on me to be your guide to power. I now have come to raise you to be the greatest and most powerful beast on this planet if that's even possible with your puny human soul. This remark made Shinen giggle and laugh, making Trave feel weak and worthless; he sat down on his bottom while wagging his tail left to right finding it new and rather interesting to have fur and not be chilled by the cold, feeling his fur wave with the mist that soon starting to vanish with a warm sun raising.

Shinen gave a light smile lifting her lips to show her fangs as a 'smile' Your now my pup, you're my 'child' as you humans call your kids. Your five months old right now and very weak which will change in time of course, I transformed you into this form so you can raise again in a new magical way. As Shinen spoke she spoke gently and slow for him to understand, he couldn't disagree that it was not new and rather interesting to him that he was a wolf, one of his favorite animals. "So how… do I speak to you threw my mind? Will I be able to change… back to my normal… form?" He spoke like he was shy, having a silent tone in his voice that made him sound so cute and adorable.

Shinen walked up beside Trave and wrapped her tail around his and rubbed her snout against his and licked the side of his cheek like a kiss By just thinking, so That means I can read your mind, memories and thoughts… and My my what thoughts I have seen last night, Let me tell you one thing, you'll be strong enough to defeat this 'fiend'. This news made Trave's eyes glow with hate as she mentioned the fiend, making his blood boil and his tail twitching slightly, his claws extend out to there full length which was not very big right now but they will grow in time. "So….Do I just call you… Umm Shinen?" he looked up at her, finding her bigger and a lot stronger then him right now… I will not answer you until you can ask me properly.

This made Trave grumble a curse and thought for a moment before remembering Do I call you Shinen? He whispered in his mind trying it out, this must of made Shinen happy fore she licked Trave's cheek and rested her head on his gently. Shinen for now; Mother later. Trave blinked slightly and wanted to cough but couldn't get it out and just sat there not moving. Shinen felt the tension as she could feel him shaking as she was against him Do not be scared my pup, I will not let you die, obey me and do as I say, then everything will be perfectly alright. Trave gave a slight nod before he turned his head to look at the black gem that had blood mixed on it.

Shinen got an idea which he could feel but not able to read her thoughts which raced threw her like a waterfall, Shinen walked over to the gem and picked it up with her teeth and flicked her snout up, making the dagger skitter across the floor released from the chain. Shinen walked over to her pup Trave and placed the necklace around his neck and it shrunk to his size. Trave's eyes widened as he felt it tighten slightly around his neck but loose enough to take off it he wanted too It shrinks? So I guess magic…is real… Trave spoke silently in his mind as a thought but of course Shinen heard him and nuzzled his nose with her own as a jester of approval. Shinen nudge him in the side slightly wanting him to move Come on my pup, you must rest now for the gem needs to now transfer and regain it's energy and if you do not sleep you will fall sick.

Trave moved over to the bed with a sigh not even feeling tired, but then a shock ran threw his body as the gem started to burn at his neck making him go slightly limp and not able to move, tiredness started to form rapidly. Shinen sighed lightly and picked him up by the fur on his neck with her teeth and jumped onto the bed, resting him gently on his stomach so he could curl up by her side. Trave grew very tired in the last few seconds his eyes were open before closing to find him self once again in the darkness, but this time he felt a warmth that grew at his side; a warm arm wrapped around his soul protecting him from all.
