My Book that ain't a book but will eventually be a book, Book.

CHAPTER 1.

Fyrstr.

Cold. This land has always been cold. I do not know where I am, or what I am doing but all I know is, I am alive.

The vibrant green, the icy fog. I am nowhere close to the village. I quickly scanned my surroundings, in the middle of the forest, shades of green litter my sight — An icy fog had covered most of my vision but I could tell I was safe and alone — with no sign of human life. I haven’t felt this free since I arrived on this cold, godforsaken land. I had gotten so used to sitting and waiting, I had completely forgotten the weights on my legs — I can still remember the endless hours of work — a shiver ran down my spine as I tried to shake off an unwelcome feeling.

Unpleasant.

I remember bits and pieces of my life before I arrived in this land. Dark faces but welcoming arms, warm but at the same time cold. I remember little but all I know now is that I must survive — I whistled, a short quick one. Before I knew it I was running, climbing over limbs of trees, sliding and gliding through the dense forest. Every now and again whistling, my short quick whistle, a calm feeling wrapped me like a warm cloak — This freedom, I’ve waited far too long to taste. Those men. Those awful men — I felt my legs quicken at the thought of them, I continued running until I heard something, low but loud thuds on the earth. I smiled and continued on, slowing my speed to a calm walk. I heard quiet breathing coming from behind me and I felt my grin widen. Found them.

Moon. Midnight. Crazy-eye. Angel. I turned and found a small wolf pup. I crouched, slowly and gently. The wolf pup tilted its head but didn’t move — A light brown color, with patches of lighter and darker shades of brown littering its sides and feet.

“T’lotó” I whispered as I bowed my head to the wolf. A light nuzzle on my shoulder told me everything I needed to know, I turned and hugged Moon — being raised by wolves alongside a human family has taught me one thing, words are unnecessary — my mother and my sister, Moon, an all white wolf — her hazel eyes told me she must have been human in a past life but still majestic and beautiful — has finally given birth. As I released Moon, I felt a tiny mouth nibble on my pants and looked down and saw Star gently biting and pulling at my pants — I've never been more grateful for the old man clothes I stole off that man till now — I slowly dropped my hand close to her, She smelled me scent for a little while before rubbing her head against my hand, as I looked up from Star, four more little pups — all different shades and hues of black, brown and one particularly small white pup with black shoe paws and a black ear — started running towards me. I turned and grinned at Moon, she nodded her head and gently wagged her tail — I missed everyone and now there are more of them, I haven't felt this happy in a long time.

A low growl emitted from behind the pups, I paused and listened — Is that not Midni — A snarl ripped from the beast, I looked up and saw Midnight — Glorious and Big as ever, Black as night with ruby red eyes — stalking up to us. I gently shoo the pups to Moon before I quickly submitted, laying on my back, eyes closed, arms and legs bent so my feet are planted, I waited. The growling got louder the closer he got and once I felt him practically on top of me, I quickly reached up and grabbed his snout before he had a chance to pull away I grabbed his throat with my other hand and twisted, slamming his body down to the ground. He whimpered, body wiggling and worming around aggressively trying to free himself from my tight grasp. I snarled and got directly in his face, pushing his snout downwards, I let out a deep growl — I remember how I used to follow Midnight around, his right-hand man until he deliberately tried to attack me, feeling threatened by how Moon and the other wolves naturally followed me, I don't fully remember what happened but I snapped. It was Moon and Crazy-eye who pulled me away, it was just blank and a white noise — I tightened my grip at the thought and stared directly into his eyes. Red and bright like freshly spilled blood, Midnight squirmed and whimpered harder. I growled louder, — A flash of anger came over me pressing down harder on his snout. A loud whine poured out of Midnight as he relaxed his muscles finally submitting properly. I let go of his snout and he quickly scrambled up and stepped back a few feet, head down he bowed to me. I rose and a snarl ripped out of my throat. He stayed with his head bowed to me, I very slowly stepped towards him.

“Hačh yo.” I stated, my voice low and deep. Midnight slowly lifted his head and looked me in the eye as I took in his appearance — Black fur that looked a deep indigo in the light hitting his back. Red eyes full of emotion. He slowly nodded and made his way, gently as if I were to jump away in fear. I crouched to the ground calmly and opened my arms, he simply walked into my arms and placed his head against mine — The ancient language of the wolves. The only thing I could fully remember from my time before now. I opened my eyes and stared into Midnight’s crimson eyes — The wolves speak through their eyes, the raw emotion behind each wolf’s eyes tell you everything you need to know — Moon made a weird small squeal like noise, I whipped my head around; thinking she was in pain but instead I found her ready to pounce, body low to the ground, tail waving side to side gently, eyes focused and wide.

The gods have allowed me to live and have reunited me with my family — I haven't felt this happiness in a long time. I let go of Midnight and started laughing as Moon pounced on me and midnight playfully, nipping at my hair and clothes. The pups ran over as well and joined in the fun of messing with the Alphas, I looked up at the sky and smiled. — Blue sky, Green leaves, family surrounding me. The warm feeling filled my chest and I grinned till my cheeks hurt.

I am home.
