Mordecai runs into the forest as fast as he. He wished that he could just disappear from the world. Just as I thought I could embrace my powers...it went horribly wrong. He finally stops at a point where the village was no more. It was out of his sight.
Mordecai climbs a huge flat rock and lies on his back. He had so many thoughts jammed in his mind. Everything went downhill when Shadoweye came. Shadoweye, oh how he hated that wolf. How was he to face someone that was corrupted by darkness, one that only wanted revenge? A wolf hit by jealousy and ambition. "Why is it so hard being the one to deal with all of this?" Mordecai whispers to himself. He closes his eyes and drifts off to sleep.
***
Mordecai awakens to the dim lighting of the sunset. Shades of blazing red, orange, and pink stretch across the sky. He then hears a movement in a nearby bush. Mordecai gets up, jumps off the rock, and stalks the moving bush. The bush's movement then remained silent but, he knew something was watching him and it didn't just run away. Mordecai slowly opens the bush and looks down at a white and gray splotched creature. The creature looks up at him wide eyes and yelps,
"What the heck man, can I at least get some privacy!" It squeaks.
"S-sorry I thought you were trying to attack me" Mordecai apologizes, closing the bush quickly and sits in front of it. When the creature was done it stepped out and looked up at the red and black wolf,
"Hey there" it says, looking up at him.
Mordecai looks down and stares at the splotch creature awkwardly, "Uh...hi" he replies. There was complete awkward silence and the creature finally speaks up.
"Uh...hi the names Dust." They reply, trying to break the silence.
Mordecai grins at him "I'm Mordecai" Dust looks up and smiles, "I'm a ferret, a creature that's related to the weasel...I think." Dust tries to make out what Mordecai is by frowning and squinting his eyes. "Hey, what are you supposed to be anyway?" The ferret asks with, a questioning look on his face.
"I'm a wolf dragon hybrid" Mordecai replies, truthfully. Dust makes a weird face as a reply and stares back at him. What's wrong with him? Mordecai thought it's the truth. "Are you sure you're not a wolf trying to cosplay as a dragon?" Dust asks, narrowing his eyes in suspicion. "What the heck that's not true I'm the real deal! My wings are one hundred percent real." Mordecai replies in shock, while placing his paw up to his chest. Dust falls on his back, cracking up, "I'm just messin with you, ya big furball!" Mordecai rolls his eyes "Sarcastic much?" Dust stops laughing and clears his throat, "Uh, never mind about that...what kind are you because there's only so many in this world?" He asks. Mordecai looks at the ferret "Well I'm a Moonlight wolf." He answers. Dust stares at him in shock with his beady little eyes. "W-what is it? You look like you just heard someone breaking wind?" Mordecai asks, staring back at him with concern. "Hmmm, maybe, but are you a Moonlight wolf?" Dust asks still in shock and places his paws on his wide-eyed face. Mordecai sighs "Yeah, that's me...a weird and possibly in the future, overpowered winged wolf thing." Dust jumps up with excitement, "OH MER GERD REALLY?!" He squeals in surprise. "Yes, it is I..." Mordecai sighs. He was starting to become freaked out by the ferret's actions. Why is he so...hyper?
Dust awkwardly coughs "Uh, sorry about letting my inner fangirl out, it's just that you're not that common from where I came from." Mordecai laughs in relief and looks around the forest. There has to be a clearing or something so that we can talk more privately. I don't want to attract any weird attention towards us and this guy is pretty loud in a decently quiet area. "Hey um, follow me okay" Mordecai tells Dust. "What? Oh okay." Dust replies back. The hybrid leads the way and the ferret follows him.
Mordecai and Dust finally end up in a closed area of the forest Yes finally. He turns around to see Dust padding towards him. "So what do you want to ask me?" Dust asks, while cocking his head. Mordecai thought for a moment then an idea sparked in his mind. "Hey, I like you Dust and I think you should join me on this journey." Dust's jaw drops "I-I-I don't k-know what to say buddy..." Dust takes several deep breaths and finally answers "YES!" Mordecai was glad to hear that response. He wouldn't have to be lone wolf traveling back home anymore. It was now a two person team a...duo. "I'm so HAPPY!" Dust squeals, while doing a goofy dance in response. Mordecai laughs and places his paw on his mouth, snorting. He lowers his head to level with Dust "So, since you're joining me, do you have any special talents?" He asks, interested to see what the ferret had to say. Dust sits straight up, "Yeah, I can sneak past others quietly, do secret barrel-rolling (I'm not sure how that works though), use my powerful over nine thousand level of cuteness, and make anyone bow down to my tiny Iron fist!" Dust brags, while trying to make his paw into a fist. Wow that's a mouthful, but okay.
"Okay it's settled, you are officially a member of my lone wolf group" Mordecai tells the ferret. He then holds out his paw to congratulate him. Dust holds out his tiny paw to shake Mordecai's "Thanks now where to next?" He asks. "Well...I want to visit someone first" Mordecai says while pulling out a map from his little bag hanging from his side. He opens the map and sees a house labeled 'INOWA' and points there, "We're going to stop by and drop some things off okay." Dust nods and hops on to Mordecai's back. Dust bends down to look at EclipseMoon "Wow this is your sword?!" He asks in shock and excitement "It's soooo majestic!" "Thanks. It's called EclispeMoon." Mordecai replies, laughing a bit.
While they were walking through the forest Mordecai pauses and turns his neck to look at the sleeping ferret. Dust was passed out on Mordecai's back, sleeping talking. "I-I-I a-am da great n' powerful Dust...whelps don't you dare take my food..." Mordecai smiles to himself while watching Dust's paws twitch and him mumbling about funny situations. He's probably have little adventures of his own Mordecai thought while laughing to himself. He stops walking to rest at a nearby tree.
The sky was now night black with its glowing white stars. It was like a drawing being added with the finishing touches. Mordecai grabs Dust by the scruff and gently places him down on some soft moss that he had gathered. He then brought back some branches and twigs to start a fire. He pauses and looks around for stones to circle the fire he then looks back at the moss Dust was sleeping on. Wait, where is Dust?! Mordecai looks around, panicking. He spins around to see the ferret appear out of the shadows, dragging a hollow branch full of rocks. "Hey sorry I made yah freak out I just thought we needed rocks." He replies. Mordecai sighs and shakes his head. At least he's okay he thought with relief. They both mix the branches and twigs together and place the stones around the pile. Mordecai shoots a stream of his purple fire on the branches and twigs to start the fire. Both Moonlight wolf and ferret lay in the grass gazing up at the stars.
