The Werewolf Council

CHAPTER 2-Lone wolf

Upon entering the  tunnel, I could tell the smell of ash was getting stronger. My worst fear had come true.The secret chamber had been destroyed.The sieling had collapsed only on one side.All hope was lost. A loud scream escaped without me noticing. It beacame clear that i was all alone, that I was the only one left.

Up untill that instant, I did not pay any attention to the big  wooden chest I had nver seen before but yet seemed very familiar, on the other side of the room. I made my way to the chest and tried opening it. After failing to do so i noticed that on top was a diagram of a crescent moon with ingravings that were spelled wrong. they spelled , ODLFA with spaces so that they could be rearranged.

The moon diagram looked the same as the one on the jewellery box that dad gave to mom on their anniversary. The more i thought of my parents the sadder i could feel mysef get, the more tears ran down my face. I remembered mom telling me just a few nights back, that the crescent moon symbolised or means  the age of a lone wolf. I could not figure out how that applied to this.

Dad was a lone wolf before he met my mom.That explained the whole 'age of a lone wolf' thing. A lone wolf only has the moon or moon goddess as a companion. After finding a made ,his made is given the title 'lunar'  as in lunar eclipse, deduced, the time the moon covers the sun, portraying  its total magnificance and utter beauty. Meaning the crescent moon is a symbol that describes the beauty of a lunar and her importance in th transformation of a wolf without a pack into a alfa.

But what i did not understand was the puzzle of words and how it related to the moon diagram, so i decided to look around for clues but everything was destroyed so i stationed myself on the ground and tried to calm my sences. My heartbeat was still over the roof.

After a few minutes i decided to try my luck with the wooden chest that seemed to be staring at me, tounting me.The chest was stable and i could not move it or flip.I looked on and around the big wooden chest for any clues or directions on how to open the chest.The small writings i found seemed to be in a language i could not read. Thats uncle Nino for ya! always using his brains against people.I decided to do the same. since i was i was dealing with  uncle Nino i decided to thing like uncle Nino.

On the corner to my left,there was a picture on the floor of humans transforming into wolfs. what amazed me was how the picture portrayed a sence of balance between this two natures harboured within a single body, asif one was the disguise of the other or like the same substance was found in both containers. WAIT A MINUTE! And then it hit me.

The crescent moon represents a lone wolf, like one days not exist without the other.i thought, what if both the moon and the word means the same thing and one was the disguise of the other.meaning if the moon reprensents 'lone wolf' the engravings ment lone wolf  too but just in a differant form. That makes sence right?If the engravings ment lone wolf it made sence that it was in a differant language. All i had to do was tofind the word and see if the lettters matched.The only word i knew that ment lone wolf was ADOLF since its my middle name.......pause! thats it! why did i not see it before, i mean  those letters spelled out my name.

I rearanged the the engravings to spell adolf. A few seconds later i could hear  sounds almost like metal being stroke against each other and then the big wooden chest unlocked to one side.I lifted the top and was amazed to see stairs leading downwards.A secret chamber inside a secret chamber, classic uncle Nino!
