Chapter 2

Third Person POV

Alice was silent as she lied under her soft sheets. The day she had replayed in her mind over and over. What did the elder wolf mean? Who was that boy? Alice questioned mentally. She shook her arrow head. I just don't understand.

"Are you alright, Alice?" the black bakugan from before asked.

"Yeah, just thinking. I appreciate your concern Hydranoid," Alice said. She pulled out the necklace from before and sighed.

"Alice, are you thinking about the boy and the wolves?" Hydranoid asked.

She nodded. "I can't help but think about them. Especially the boy, who was he?" Alice asked out loud.

"Who was who?" came a voice.

Hydranoid and Alice looked over to her window. Her other bakugan friend, Skyress, set on it. "Hey, Skyress," Alice greeted.

"Hello, Alice, Hydranoid. I am sorry to have been eavesdropping but I must ask, Alice, who is it are you speaking of?" she asked.

"While we were hiking in the woods, we were met by giant wolves and one boy. Do you have any idea who they could be?" Alice asked hopeful.

"Did you say giants wolves and a boy?" Skyress asked and she nodded. "I heard of a legend, a story about gods that lived long ago. I never thought it to be true."

"What's the story?" Alice asked.

"They say long, long ago, there was a giant, mighty forest in which no one dared to enter. If they ever tried they would risk their lives against the animal gods that protected their sector of the forest. There was said to be three main protecting god creatures. The Boar Clan, the Ape Tribe, and the Wolf Clan," Skyress paused for a moment and in that moment Hydranoid spoke up.

"Did you say 'Wolf Clan'?" he asked.

"Yes. The boars and apes were the most violent. They would kill any and all humans who entered their forests. The wolves, however, were the most docile. Like you probably experienced when you were met them today, they only attacked when they felt threatened. The boy however, was a legend and story made about three hundred years ago. The boy is known as Prince Seishin. It is said his parents gave him to Wolf God Moro in hopes she would care and protect him before they ran off without him. He became the son of the wolves and he was deemed Prince Seishin being the japanese word for the Spirit Prince. Wolf God Moro was thought to have had two other cubs and was the leader of the Wolf Clan. Prince Seishin fought along Moro until the humans of the time gave up on the wolves land. The humans set their sights on the Ape Tribe's land and wiped the land and the Ape Tribe to extinction. Today, those who venture into what is thought of as the Boar Clan's sector and come out alive state that the giant boars seen are small than many thought. No one has ever gone into the Wolf's sector with harmful intent and lived. So many stay away, I'm surprised you went in there," Skyress explained.

"Dan practically made us. He wasn't taking no for an answer and wasn't listening to reason either. So he's known as Prince Seishin?" Alice said.

"As many have known him, at least," Skyress answered.

"If he was born three hundred years ago, how is still alive now?" Hydranoid asked.

"That is not known," Skyress answered.

"Prince Seishin…" Alice muttered.

. . . .

Shun lay in his leaf bed his fur blanket keeping him warm in the cold night. 'I wonder how Alice is doing,' he thought.

Suddenly a shot of gun fire was heard. Shun sprung up and Klyn and Mana came. Moro followed. "You heard it?" Klyn asked.

"Yeah," Shun answered. He heard more gun fire. "It's coming from the Boar Clan!"

"Come, we must hurry," Moro said.

Shun hopped onto Klyn and took off. As they neared a screech of a boar was heard. "That sounded like…" Mana trailed off.

"Okkoto!" Shun finished.

They came around a turn just to see about ten humans with guns. Each one shooting at a boar. Shun looked at saw Okkoto taking the most hits.

"Okkoto!" Shun called.

"Shun, go help Okkoto. Klyn, Mana, you're with me. We're taking out these humans," Moro said.

"Yes, Mother," Shun, Mana, and Klyn agreed in unison.

"A human?!" yelled a man.

"Why would a human be helping those beasts?!" another man asked.

"Not sure but if he's attacking us, then he's got to go," said a woman.

Shun turned just to dodge a bullet. He took out his dagger and ran at the men shooting at Okkoto. His dagger sliced right through the guns.

"How did he…?" a man couldn't finish.

Shun ran up and began slashing at them. The men began to fall back. "Where do you think you're going?" the woman who was obviously in charge yelled.

"We're not going to die!" yelled the first man from before.

The woman sighed in aggravation. She turned and ran off. Shun redirected his attention to Okkoto. Red and black slime began to pour out of him as tentacles.

"Oh no…" Moro called.

"He's turning into a demon," Mana said sadly.

"It is too late for him. I must kill him before he has a chance to destroy the forest himself," Moro said. Shun looked down sad. "Do not worry my son. This is what Okkoto would want."

"Yes, Mother," he responded.

Moro went over and sadly slit his throat. "Let you rest in peace, Okkoto," Moro stated as his body went limp and the darkness destroyed him.

"What do we do now, Mother?" Mana asked. "He was the Boar Clan's last leader. And without him, the Boar Clan will surely destroy the humans without reasoning."

"I know. We must protect the forest but we no longer just fight for the forest. Some humans are good. Like Alice and her friends. Humans can help us rebuild the forest but if the humans are wiped out, there will be no hope," Moro replied. "Now we must fight to keep the peace between humans and gods."

She turned around and we followed her back.
