ONE EVENING, AN ELDERLY
CHEROKEE BRAVE TOLD HIS
GRANDSON ABOUT A BATTLE THAT
GOES ON INSIDE PEOPLE.
HE SAID "MY SON, THE BATTLE IS
BETWEEN TWO 'WOLVES' INSIDE US ALL.
ONE IS EVIL. IT IS ANGER,
ENVY, JEALOUSY, SORROW,
REGRET, GREED, ARROGANCE,
SELF-PITY, GUILT, RESENTMENT,
INFERIORITY, LIES, FALSE PRIDE,
SUPERIORITY, AND EGO.
THE OTHER IS GOOD.
IT IS JOY, PEACE LOVE, HOPE SERENITY,
HUMILITY, KINDNESS, BENEVOLENCE,
EMPATHY, GENEROSITY,
TRUTH, COMPASSION AND FAITH."
THE GRANDSON THOUGH ABOUT
IT FOR A MINUTE AND THEN ASKED
HIS GRANDFATHER:
"WHICH WOLF WINS?..."
THE OLD CHEROKEE SIMPLY REPLIED,
"THE ONE THAT YOU FEED"-The Tale Of Two Wolves
I don't own Vampires' diaries and Riverdale.
Prologue
"Father!" A man groaned as he is forced to be chained up like a beast. There is another man who is forcing him to do the deed.
A woman is doing some sort of witchcraft and chanting spells around the fire.
"Hold him, Elijah!" Elijah looked at his brother with guilt, but despite his brother's begging him to release him. He denied him that.
Mikael looked around for someone.
"Now where is that little bastard sister?" Mikael growled as he went back to find Niklaus's twin sister who is like her brother an abomination as well.
Niklaus heard Mikeal talked about his twin.
"NO! Don't touch her! Don't let him do this!" Niklaus plead but he is ignored. Mikael went inside and shouted out their house.
"Aasveig! Where are ya!?"
They heard pieces of stuff clusters or broken things. Niklaus shouted for anyone to help them. The house of theirs is trashed, but no sign of Niklaus twin sister.
Mikeal came out looking more pissed off.
"Where is she?!"
Niklaus looked relieved but worried if she would come here.
"Niklaus!" Niklaus heard his twin sister, Aasveig. Her black hair and pale skin made her the fairest of them all. Niklaus and Aasveig were two halves that make it whole. Niklaus endured their stepfather's abused in her place. Aasveig is quite a midwife and medical herb potions if she chooses it.
"Aasveig," Niklaus whispers but turned worried. Aasveig gasped in shock at this ritual.
"Get her, Elijah!" Mikeal came with another set of chains to tie her along with Niklaus to do a spell that bock the werewolf side.
Elijah looked hesitant.
"Aasveig, run. RUN!" Niklaus shouted out like a howl like a werewolf. Aasveig looked at Niklaus, but he yelled, "Don't look back! Get away from here! Or else you'll die!"
That snapped her out as she runs away.
"Aasveig!" Mikeal shouted in anger and snarled at Niklaus, "I'll deal with you boy."
Aasveig ran into the woods. Despite her dress is torn by bushes and trees that made cuts, but heal quickly.
Her mind focuses on what Niklaus told her.
'Run! Don't look back! Or else you'll be killed!'
She repeated in her mind over and over again. What she did not realize is that she is changing.
STITCH!
Her mind went into an animal. She is faster and more focused on running. She runs so far that she didn't even notice that she is no longer homeland.
Aasveig wants to look back, but Niklaus's words reminded her of promise.
'Run! Don't look back! Or else you'll be killed!'
Aasveig whimpers in a wolf whine sound that she took notice of in the waterfall reflections. The water ripples slowly show her wolf form.
She is all fury and huuuuuuge!
"YELP!" She barked and her long ears arched back at her skull at her sight. She slowly crept towards the water ripples and saw it was her.
She is all black fur and almost the size of a horse or something like Fenrir in their stories. Her large snot and take another look at herself.
'Wow. I look different. I wonder did the curse did that to us or is it our father's blood.' Aasveig commented and she knew that their transformation that night. Both Niklaus and Aasveig were in pain by our wolf half and knew there was something wrong with them.
'Is Niklaus okay? I hope so.'
Aasveig knew that she can't go back now. There is one thing she could do.
Her paws slowly started to walk then canter and finally run faster.
'Someday brother. I will come to find you again. For now, I will do as you say and Run. Run far away as I can.'
So Aasveig runs and her legends as the first female hybrid became folklores and legends.
That her story began with the Founding of Riverdale and lands where she was honored and worshiped by Uktena tribes.
She is called, The great Alpha of Riverdale.
Legends story that has been passed down by Southside citizens.
Our lands belonged to Uktena. Now many may not believe this, but they're already troubles with General Augustus Pickens's out came that great wolf.
Its large teeth went towards General Pickens's army that was about to wipe them out. The beast was full-grown like a horse or giant. Besides the wolf side was a young Native warrior name Bjomolf who has been raised by this wolf who mothered him. He called her Alpha. The Uketna tribes were praised by such a warrior and practically worship the wolf for giving knowledge of medicine, hunting, and protecting them from enemies like slave traders or Pickens army.
However, came at the greatest war.
Pickens's army came to all sides and crashed to the Uketna tribes. Killing all the men, women, and children. Bjomolf became leader of the tribe fought valiantly, but the cries of his wife as she cradled to their dead son. The great Alpha saw this and let out a furious howl and take many army invaders down. Instead, General Pickens did a cruel thing. He orders spears that stabbed her all.
Wounded and nearly out of breath. She whines as she saw her 'beloved' son killed. But his wife the daughter of the original chief had more courage than any warrior. Bjomolf's wife came to the wounded and near-death Alpha, but tales of her courage became an inspiration.
She stabs herself.
Many did not pay attention or believe that she turned to suicide instead of being killed by the army. In truth, she stabbed herself to bleed and feeding it to Alpha's mouth. The beast slowly drinks her blood.
The chief's wife lay there, but a miracle happened.
The great Alpha stood proud and tall wounds are already healing from their spears. The great Alpha let out a howl and strikes down the army. The Uketna tribes saw the beast and gave a great cheer.
She pounces and claims the head of General Pickens. Seeing as the General is dead and fallen the army ran from them with very few men left.
The Great Alpha gave a victory howl.
Like all great stories, it came with prices.
The wolf had collapsed onto the ground that lays Bjomolf the fallen warrior, his son, and the wife. They mourned but understand that even a great warrior one's heart could not take any more agony.
They created a pyre for the whole family and the wolf lay with them to be cremated.
Since that day, Uketna slowly let the inevitable happened.
Riverdale wished to make a peace treaty and Uketna became part of their citizen community.
Sadly, it did not seize the hatred of General Pickens killing them and tried to wipe them out of their lands.
Southside and Northside will never get along. However, strange events have been happening since Northsiders had tried to control or take our home was dealt with an unknown animal with claws and teeth.
Some say that the Great Alpha still alive and howls in the middle of the night.
Others said she is still protecting us against anyone who tried to harm us.
Some like me saw her still lurking in the forest and protecting everyone in the Southside from Northside's invaders.
So, tell me what you think….
Was this only a legend?
Or
Was this the only truth behind the legend?
