The morning we worked in silence getting ready for our journey, making sure we have the right maps and enough food to last us, making some cloths for we don't know what could happen next, Nanna Rose was so excited for us and kept blabbering about how exciting this adventure will and could become. She will be joining us, she knows these woods like the back of her hand and in all honestly she wants to meet the great Ablus Richards. Nanna fills in our silence which neither of us minds, she tells us all the stories of when she was younger and the rumors that followed Albus. I say our goodbyes to our pack and promise to keep in contact.
Both Nanna and Leah shift into their wolves and we strap our bags on to them. I take a deep breath as we step further into the woods, I smile and let out a giggle, O how I love being in the woods, it's so quiet due to most of the animals in hibernation but the music and feeling of the woods are different.
"Shall we run until we meet at the Kissing Tree?" I ask turning to Leah's wolf, she nodded her big wolfy head, and we start to sprint, the harshness of the icy winds does not affect the wolves nor me with my red cape like coat and the warmth of my skin due to partial wolf blood in my veins. Now being part wolf I am amazed at how powerful I feel and even my connection to the woods thanks to my mother, which "It is only a sprinkle to the true and rightful power you will harness when the time comes, this is only the beginning." As Nanna puts it. I cannot even fathom how I will feel with both my mother and father's gifts and the wolf blood being active in me, I guess in many ways I will be unstoppable which is maybe why there would be some out there to kill me. The thought made my stomach twist. Is this the right thing? Should I even bother finding out? Through the stories and prophecies all the leads to this power is, death. I think to myself as I run, feeling the winds start to pick up with bits of icy particles in the wind making me shiver.
"Breathe my love, this is what was meant to be. You need to control you emotions, its effecting the weather, we want to get there by night fall." Leah speaks to me through our mate mindlink, with it we can hear each other's thoughts and feel each other's emotions. Breaking me away from thought, I take a deep breath and let it out.
"Sorry." With that the wind instantly starts to calm down. We kept on running and in short time we were at the Kissing Trees. We sat there for a short time to rest and drink. My eyes can't help but be glued to tree, it looked so beautiful and magical with the snow that sprinkles over it like icing sugar. There suddenly something that sparkled when the sun broke through the thick clouds. "Do, do you guys see that." I ask Leah and Nanna pointing to were the shimmering object with in the tree hanging on the branches.
