CHAPTER 3

THE WOLF

The moon rose high above the dark forest that covered the west and eastern landscape, deep in the shadows of the forest a lone wolf searches for something that calls within himself. Outcasted from being different from his pack the wolf searches for his true calling in the vast world where ever it may be he will find it. Swiftly the wolf moves through the forest careful not to be seen by other packs on patrol in their territory. The full moon high above in the clear night sky only to be disturbed by the vast number of stars, the moonlight reflects off the wolfs white coat giving him a almost godly glow to the wolf it's blue eyes reflect all the pain and suffering life caused the wolf. The wolf reached the edge of the forest to come in contact with soft sand beneath the wolf's pads unfamiliar to the soft substance the wolf carefully sniffs his out this new location. As the wolf reached the edge of the sandy land his nose came in contact with something wet. The wolf sneezed from the wetness getting into his nose, as he moved his gaze back to the wetness his eyes widened, a vast ocean lay beyond him a never ending landscape of water. A movement in the bushes behind the wolf caused it to swiftly turn around a get into a fighting position. The movement continued to come closer to the wolf, the wolf bared his teeth growling at the movement, but as fast as the movement came it stopped, the wolf still cautious began to slowly move towards the undergrowth. Suddenly a crack of branch behind him caused the wolf to turn his whole body towards the sound, there standing in a opening of the forest a black wolf stood before the lone wolf, but what caught the lone wolfs' attention was the wolfs red eyes. The lone wolf continued to bare his teeth and growl at the newcomer the lone wolf was ready to jump at this strange wolf but before the lone wolf could do that the black wolf spoke in a echoing voice "Cray…do you know who I am?"

"I think I would know a wolf with red eyes cause it would be pretty hard to forget."

"Animals these days forget who they originally came from…where the world came from and who created it."

"What's that suppose to mean?"

The black wolf looked down on Cray who was now in a sitting position before he spoke again the black wolf spoke.

"I am the moon god Torren I helped my sister Fenris create this world along with the animals."

Cray looked strangely at this so called god but what he did realize was that this wolf was much bigger than him bigger than alphas, much bigger than alphas.

"If your god why are you walking around on this godforsaken planet you created?" Cray spat his comment at the wolf

"Do I not have the right to walk my planet…..Guardian…."

"What are you talking about? I'm not a Guardian I'm a wolf."

"That may be so but I do know the reason you where kicked out of your pack at a young age…in fact you where still a pup when you became a outcast."

"SHUT UP! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SPEAK ABOUT MY PERSONAL LIFE!" Cray's fur began bristling in anger that this wolf knew so much about him. Torren stood looking down on the white wolf since his stature was so big he flicked his tail before he spoke again

"I the pain you felt but you don't know why you had to be the one that was different then the rest."

"Why…if your some god come before me? I'm nothing special I'm just a mistake that my parents made…they said so themselves."

Tears began to gather in the corners of his eyes as he watched Torren raise his head and give a mighty howl into the night. Cray's eyes widened as the moon started to turn a blood red, his eyes widened even more when he noticed the land being basked in a blood red color. He stood there not knowing either to run or stay, but for some reason something inside told him that he could trust this wolf and should stay.

Torren stood in the same spot looking at the moon as he spoke to the stunned Cray "Now…now do see the power I hold I even have greater power than this…Cray….I'll tell you why I came…why I spoke to you….why….you where outcasted."

Cray turned his head to Torren then spoke

"I believe you now no wolf could be able to do that, I…trust you now…"

"hm…first of all Pascow sends his regards that he couldn't be here himself."

"Pascow?"

"He's a messenger for me and Fenris."

"But…wa-"

"Cray you are one of the three Guardian's that protect this world Pasco has already found the other two….now you are found. Cray there is a ancient danger lurking in the depths of the shadows, soon a war will break out between demons and mortals, you must head north and don't stop until you reach a abandoned castle in Transylvania there you'll meet the other two Guardian's."

Cray watched as a red light engulfed Torren and grew brighter and in a flash of red light Torren was gone and the moon and landscape returned to normal. He sat there thinking over what just happened.
