The Cold Wolf

Chapter 1 The Unknown

Darkness arrived after a sort of flash catches Icy out of his mind, he didn't know what was going on though. He ran as fast as he could, knowing that's not going to work for long. He had to run through the forest, cuts and scratches from the trees and branches hurt him more every second, he couldn't stop though. He began to feel it taken over him, but he didn't want to accept it. He feared that it may kill him, or others that were around him. He wanted to scream, run, or anything to stop it, but he couldn't. The eyes began to fade into the darkness, when he saw something that barely caught his eyes. "Safety!," He shouted in hope, and began to run towards it. He hoped that it was safe, or else everything was at risk for him. There was something that he saw that confused him in the running, a light blue color of something, it was only revealed for a second before it disappeared. He thought he saw crystals and a snowflake as well, but he knew that it was fake and a trick most likely. He continued running towards the light until he couldn't anymore, he was finally tired. He heard someone or something, though he wasn't sure if it was something or someone hurting or helping him, he tried to see, but his eyes began to fade to black, betraying him into sleep. "Get him out of here, those seven are coming back to kill more, we have to hurry to the sky hut!!," he heard someone say. It was a female voice, but it was unknown who he heard. He wanted to ask what was happening, but his eyes closed, and slumber rushed towards him into the deep darkness of his mind. He slowly opened his eyes, he felt some strange cold element among him, he slowly got to his hands then to his feet. He looked around, unsure of what to expect, as he looked around, he only saw white, cold, pure snow. The sky was as blue as a crystal, like the ones implanted within his chest, elbows and tail, with his eyes shining as they held crystals too. Auroras were glimmering above the atmosphere, and stars were glowing through the black darkness of the sky. He wanted to move, but he couldn't. He thought to himself, "Am I lost? Or am I just dreaming?" He wanted to know, curiosity always got the best of him, whether it was supposed to be good or bad. He still had the memory of what happened, the first moment he was in class just learning about some math he wasn't able to understand yet, next he remembered some attacks by some dark beings which some nicknamed 'The Seven' then he was knocked from his consciousness, only to see himself run through a forest, creating wounds within him which weren't from the dream. He has yet to know what just happened, he wasn't even sure of what he was running from. He wished he knew, but the second the thing appeared, he knew he had to run. He looked at his arm, expecting to be bloody and scratched deeply, but none of which was found. He tapped in a unsure moment of confusion. Nothing happened, he felt the poke, just a poke, no pain nor blood. He looked around again, then the ground shook, shaking harder every second. He fell to the ground in fear as well, not knowing what to expect. All of a sudden, he saw a dragon above him. It flew down to him, Icy was still stuck in fear. The dragon approached him, he didn't move, not that he could. The dragon stops, at a range of being able to reach out and touch it. The dragon didn't do anything, nothing at all. He slowly reached out to touch it on the head. As he touched the dragon, a chill filled his body. He wanted to understand what happened, but he couldn't. The dragon slowly disappeared, he slowly felt something weird to him, a connection to it. "What is this feeling? It feels like it's...meant for me?," he thought. He had to know, but he couldn't, not from the state he was in, as he was lost in his own mind, or possibly in the reality he truly stood upon. He slowly felt the world surrounding him, it slowly enclosed him, then he closed his eyes, waiting for what would be coming to him.
