Chapter 4: Festival of the Arctic Wolves Part 1
Xander's Perspective:
So after we left town our destination was the Wolf Kingdom which was in the north between two snowy mountains in the middle of a spruce forest , my mission or duty was to accompany Cupa back to the Creeper Kingdom (this gonna be a long walk). She also said she has a friend that will help escort us to the Creeper Kingdom , and so we kept on walking and walking until we reached the start of the Spruce Forest there was we noticed that there was a path in the middle , so it seems were on the right track then we decided to take a break and sat on a fallen log for a while and eat our food while were at it, we were both really hungry cause we ate about 2 Bread , 2 Cooked Steak and 1 Apple, after eating we sat under a tree for a while and chatted that's when I remembered something since Cupa is part Creeper she must have some kind of explosive power or something so I decided to ask her if she has some kind of power and she said …
Cupa: (frowning) Well in a way I do have some kind of power.
Xander: (a curious expression shown on his face) Why what's the problem?
Cupa: Well you see , have you heard of the energy that runs through people's body.
Xander: Well yes I have heard of it from Mr. Bob it's called Aura right?
Cupa: Yes your correct it is called Aura and each one has it's own distinct nature, for example mine is an explosive aura when I focus that energy on a certain part of my body whatever I do to that part will have an explosive effect on the target but will not damage me cause the Aura that's on my hand protected me from inflicting damage on myself, if I focus it on my hand and punch this rock it will either get thrown away pretty far or get shattered to pieces.
Xander: Wow that's amazing! I did not know you could do such a thing.
Cupa: Yes but … (looking down on the ground)
Xander: But what Cupa?
Cupa: But I can't still focus my Aura on one spot and if I do I couldn't take the explosions recoil so I'm the one who get's blown away! It feels embarrassing I'm just useless. (tears dropping)
Xander: (patting her head) Aww come on Cupa, cheer up it's not like it's the end of the world if you can't do it, plus you can still practice doing it, I bet if you keep practicing on how to focus your Aura I bet you can do it.
Cupa: (looks at me with tears still dropping) Re-really you think I can do it.
Xander: No Cupa, I know you can do it. (then wipes her tears off and smiles)
Cupa: Your right Xander I can do it as long as I have the will to keep going on! (standing up)
Xander: Now that's the spirit Cupa! You can start doing it right now if you'd like?"
Cupa: Yeah your right! I'll start doing it right now and show you how explosive my Aura is.
Xander's Perspective:
The moment she said that she stood up and looked at me with a smile a few moments later I saw that she was trying to focus it on her hands but she failed the first try after several attempts she finally did it I can feel that her Aura has flowed through her hands and is now completely focused , she then turned around and said it cheerfully "I did it Xander I did it I actually did it!" I smiled back at her and made a thumbs up sign. She then tried to to punch a rock and turn it into a million pieces but after she shattered the rock the explosion back fired and sent her flying towards me I was pretty surprised that she slammed right into me and landed on my lap, though it was painful I'm glad she didn't get to feel what I just felt when she slammed me into a tree (pretty painful if you asked me) I looked down and noticed that she was blushing a deep red she said…
Cupa: (blushing deeply) Ummm … uhh … Xa-Xander are you a-alright?
Xander: Uhhh … yeah I'm good, though that was really painful. (rubbing my back)
Cupa: *sigh* I'm glad you didn't get hurt real badly.
Xander: (smiling) But I'm proud of you Cupa you were able to focus your Aura on a single spot though you still can't handle the recoil, at least you've accomplished something today.
Cupa: Yeah it looks like I did! YEAH I DID IT!
After that she immediately hugged me and whispered "Thanks Xander I appreciate your help." I blushed deeply and said …
Xander: Umm … Cupa you can stop hugging me now. (taps her back)
Cupa: (blushes a little then scratches the back of her head and sticks out a tongue playfully) Oh! So-sorry Xander I forgot hehehe.
Xander: And can you get off of me now your kinda heavy.
Cupa: Hmph! (crossing her arms)
Xander: Anyways let's start walking to the Wolf Kingdom and we better hurry before the sun goes down" (stands up and dusts his clothes)
Cupa: Right! (jumps in the air)
Xander's Perspective:
We began walking again for a strait 2 hours then we arrived at the entrance of the Wolf Kingdom at about dusk that's when we got surrounded by wolves that were snarling at us Cupa seemed calm but I was sweating bullets here , I wouldn't want to be dog food I said to myself that's when we heard a whistle coming from the side behind a big spruce tree we turned to the sound and then a guy stepped out he had Silver colored hair with dog ears on both sides , he was a bit muscular , his eye color was black and for clothing he wore a white hoody jacket which was half open to see inside he wore a black colored shirt and below was black jeans and sneakers and a wolf tail of course, for his weapon he had 2 sickles each in one hand he looked pretty fierce so I decided to take out one of my cutlasses but Cupa stopped me then she came closer to the guy and said …
Cupa: (chuckling) Oh stop with the acting Chrome you know it's me and I know it's you.
Chrome: Well I guess I'm not good with acting huh?
Xander: Chrome? (tilts head)
Cupa: Yes, Xander his name is Chrome his the friend I've been telling you about.
Xander: Wait so this guy right here is the one your telling me who will help us get you back to the Creeper Kingdom.
Cupa: Yep!
Chrome: Oh! So your lost again and still can't remember where your home is Cupa, you know for a princess you sure need to know where your home is in case you get lost.
Xander: Yeah she really needs to know whe … wait a second, Chrome di-did you say she was a Princess! (a surprise expression shown on his face)
Chrome: Uhhh yeah you did hear me right? I did say she was a princess, you now only know! I bet Cupa didn't tell you before has she?"
I nodded in agreement cause she never told me before of her being a princess and all that's when I turned around and looked at her straight into her eyes she then smiled back at me weirdly as if saying "I'm sorry I didn't tell you" I sighed after wards and looked at Chrome who was whistling I then approached him and said …
Xander: Nice to meet you Chrome.
Chrome: Nice to meet you too Xander.
Xander's Perspective:
Then we shook hands after that he told us that we should see Princess Lone in the castle and so he led us there on the way I saw people and half wolves hanging bandanas, decorating there stores and cleaning the place up, it seems that there's gonna be a festival of some sort around here, I wonder what it is? Anyways we kept walking and passed a huge drawbridge leading inside the castle there we saw many paintings and doors I was so amazed but Cupa wasn't cause she's probably been here already then we stopped in front of huge wooden door that has carvings of wolves on it, right next to it on the left side I also saw the same door but a little smaller there was a label on top the said "Training Hall" hmm I'm interested to check it out and to some training myself but I don't have any permission yet so I have to wait. The doors in front of us opened a great hall was in the middle and at the end was a throne where probably Princess Lone would be sitting on and then there were 10 guards on each side of the hall it seemed that it is well guarded, Chrome then led us to Princess Lone when I saw her she had long Silver colored hair and pair of dog ears too , she was wearing a long silver coat that was covering her whole body I began to wonder why but I wouldn't want to ask if she's wearing something else underneath or not (I wouldn't want to make a first bad impression) anyways she looked at us and said …
Lone: Cupa is that you?
Cupa: Hey! Long time no see Loney how have you been?
Lone: Meh … I've been doing fine, how about you? It seems you need my help for you to get back home am I right? (chuckling)
Cupa's Perspective:
Loney after making fun of me looked at Xander with curiosity then she asked who he might be, then Xander knelt down and said "It is an honor to meet you Princess Lone my name is Xander I'm a friend of Cupa who has promised her that he will accompany her and protect her till she get's home safely." I was so embarrassed of what Xander said my face turned red as blood (not literally) then Loney and Chrome looked at me and smiled, I thought couldn't handle the pressure I thought I was gonna explode cause I know that Loney and Chrome are gonna tease me later, I was going break by the minute then Xander stood up and said "If you would be so kind to help escort us back to the Creeper Kingdom I would be truly grateful." then Loney said ...
Lone: (a sad expression shown on her face) I'm sorry but I can't do that just yet.
Cupa: But why Loney?
Lone: Because tomorrow is the Festival of the Arctic Wolves did you not notice the decorations outside?
Cupa: Oh yeah the decorations outside I thought it was for something else.
Lone: Well anyways we couldn't help escort you right now but if you'd like you could stay here at the castle until the 3 day celebration is over?
Cupa: We would love to right Xander?
Xander: Uhh sure there's no problem but what exactly is the Festival of the Arctic Wolves?
Chrome: Well for beginners it is a Festival held every year during the month of October to thank the Ancient wolf spirits who keep protecting us from danger.
Lone: Yes that is correct this spirits that helped us throughout the years have been always here to protect us but a long time ago we did not have this kind of protectors.
Xander: (he crossed his arms and tilted his head) Then how did you get them?
Lone: Well the Gargantians came to this kingdom one day to see that it was in ruins and many lives were killed due to often raids and attacks, so they decided that they should summon and communicate with the Ancient Arctic Wolf spirits to defend it's own kind, the spirits agreed to do it and ever since they have been watching us and protecting us from harm though they cannot always protect us with their own strength that's why we trained ourselves even more so we will not always rely on them.
Xander: Interesting background story but who are the Gargantians?
Lone: Oh! They are the defenders of this land but recently… .
Xander: But what? What happened?
Lone: They were attacked and overpowered by Herobrine's army and not a single one of them survived and with them out of the picture Herobrine and his army have been attacking and conquering villages, luckily not a single Kingdom has fallen yet.
Xander: (a sad expression shown on his face) Oh I see this is really terrible.
Lone: But no need to worry let's just have fun tomorrow at festival, okay? (making a thumbs up)
Cupa: Umm so where are we gonna sleep Loney?
Lone: Oh yeah sorry about that, Xander will sleep in Chrome's room and you will sleep with me
Cupa: I see so will be going now okay Loney?
Lone: Sure no problem
Xander's Perspective:
After that Cupa and I went out of the hall and headed for our rooms, good thing Cupa knows where Lone's room is and lucky for me I Chrome's room is next to hers, so we agreed to see each other later in the afternoon after our quick nap to refresh our body and so we went inside our rooms and finally I can can rest I put my things next to the couch and decided to sleep there and so I fell asleep and that's when it happened …
