Dream To Become Legend

Chapter 1, Part 2: The River.

A/N Thank you all for reading, but before I start the chapter, first I have a special piece for a very special reviewer :D

(A special piece in honour of Angvard Of Surburbia)

For a moment I was frozen in place, the wolf hadn't noticed me yet. Trying to get my legs moving I saw the wolf's ears spike and I sincerely hoped it still hadn't...

Finally managing to get my legs moving I turned on my heels to run back into the trees. I ran as fast as I could, searching for a tree to climb. I tried desperately to find a tree with a branch low enough I could reach. I heard a howl coming from to close behind me, Shit!

The wolf had noticed me and was coming after me. Now running for my life I panicked and tripped. No more than a few seconds later, I felt the wolf pounce on my back and I was bleeding out before I even registered the wolf had thorn my throat out.

And that's how my legend ended before it even began.

The End.

Luckily for me the wolf was on the other side of the river :P

Nahhh, that's too easy, right? :P

Now For the real chapter, here is,

Chapter 1, Part 2:

The River

For a moment I was frozen in place, only able to observe the gray wolf that was drinking from the river. It hadn't noticed me for now and I didn't know how the wolf would react and if it would attack, but panic gripped me. Trying to get my feet to move I accidentally kicked at a branch, but I was lucky enough not to trip. In the corner of my eyes I saw the wolf's ears spike, but I didn't stick around to see if it would turn its head. Quickly spinning around on my heels, I ran until my lungs burned. All the while searching for another tree with a branch low enough I could reach.

I spotted one that qualified a few second later and leaped off the ground to grab hold of its lowest branch. I kept climbing until I was at least 14 feet high and sat on a broad branch leaning my back against the trunk. I let out an exhausted, but relieved sigh. When I caught my breath, I climbed a bit higher. I stopped near the top and realized I could look over the last line of trees and see the river. I let out another, this time exasperated, sigh.

The wolf I had been running from hadn't even moved!

It seemed that even though it heard me kicking the branch, it hadn't looked around or just hadn't bothered coming after me. I didn't know if I was relieved or kind of annoyed by the that fact. I had been afraid enough to unnecessarily run away in a panic after all, but I settled for the thought that it was at least better to be safe than sorry.

I heard a howl, but funnily enough it didn't come from the gray wolf at the river. I looked at the river again and the gray wolf was still there. It seemed to be looking in the direction of where the howl came from. Which I didn't think was that far away and the gray wolf replied in kind with a loud howl of its own.

I stared at the gray wolf mesmerized by its howl. I'd never heard a wolf howling in person and it was both amazing and terrifying. Then the wolf ran into the forest and disappeared from view. It was out of sight for a moment, until I noticed it running swiftly through the forest a few feet away from my tree, as it left in the direction of the mountain behind me.

I stayed in that tree for what must have been at least twenty minutes, the sun had now completely disappeared behind the mountains and I estimated I had minutes at most before It would be completely dark. So, I quickly tried to get a last good look at the lay of the land from up the tree. I still didn't see any sign of human life, and I wondered if anyone even lived here is this big a valley, or if I was really the only human being for many league's around.
