The human world believes that Angels and Demons are nothing but myths well they did until the Legendary War. Humans divided and took sides either the Angels or Demons. It was chaos. With the technology of the humans the war only lasted a couple year...
There lies in the north a forest known as the Wild Woods. No one knows how large this forest really is because of the wolves who live there. A young boy with jet black hair and blue eyes that seemed to look into your soul sat by an older looking wolf. If anyone had seen them they would say that the wolf and the boy were talking but that's not possible they would think. In fact the young boy and the wolf were talking.
"Apollo where am I from" asked the boy tilting his head curiously. "I mean i'm not furry and I don't look like you so I had to come from somewhere" the boy continued.

"You're from the forest Emmanuel but were born of a different pack. That is why you don't look like the rest of the pack. What you are I can not say but I do know that you are special" Apollo replied.

"What do you mean i'm special Apollo? I'm six years old nothing special about me." Emmanuel replied curious about what Apollo meant when he had said he was special.
"When you become old enough you will journey out of the forest young one. You will go to find out who you are as well as what you want to become as you get older." the wise wolf replied to the inquisitive little boy.
"When will I be old enough to go on my Journey?" the boy asked to excited to sit still. He started imagining about all the adventures he would have while on his journey. Apollos voice soon bringing him back to reality.
" You will be old enough when you are ten young one. I still have much to teach you so you can survive on your own when you start your journey" the wolf replied as he looked to the moon hanging in the sky and started to howl as the boy soon joined in the sad yet enchanting howl. " Come Emmanuel it is time for sleep" Apollo said as he walked into the cave to sleep, the boy following close behind. They lay down next to one another falling asleep.
The next morning at sunrise Apollo wakes up Emmanuel. " Come young one it is time to teach you to hunt so you can survive." He nudges the boy with his cold nose a few times. When Emmanuel dose not wake up,the old wolf gently drags him to the river just outside the cave and pushes him in with a splash.
When the cold water hits him he wakes up with a yell. He then swims to the shore shivering as he glares at Apollo. "What was that for? The water is freezing." The boy shakes the water from his hair rubbing his arms to get them warm.
"You didn't wake up when i told you or when i nudged you so i took drastic measures to wake you." The old wolf had replied as he nudged a bow and quiver full of arrows to the boy that had been left by a hunter not long ago. "Now it is time you learn to hunt like a man. You are meant to be an alpha so lets train you as one." Apollo stalks into the forest away from the cave with Emmanuel in tow.
They hide in the dense brush around a small clearing where a young buck is grazing. " Now Emmanuel grip the bow with the string of the bow facing you." Apollo said quietly. As he held the bow with the string facing him he wondered to himself how Apollo knew all this.
"Ok Apollo what do i do now?" He whispers glancing at the wolf then back at the buck. Excited to be making his first kill for the pack he fidgets slightly wanting to get to it.
"There is a notch on the arrows on the end with the feathers that you put against the string. You pull back keeping your fingers out of the way of the arrow. Then you aim at your target and let go." He said quietly as he looks at the boy waiting for him to try.
"Ok i'm gonna try now." Whispers the boy as he grabs an arrow. He puts the arrow against the string and slowly pulls back. Looking at the buck he aims for its eye and lets the string go. The wolf and the boy look in awe as the arrow hits its mark killing the buck.
"Good job Emmanuel you know almost everything to survive. You still need to teach yourself to make a new bow and arrows. After all you still have four human years before you leave on your journey ." The wolf smiles at the boy.
"Yea i'm gonna go out and see the world now ill be able to survive too. We are going to have a feast tonight!" Emmanuel stated with a smile on his face as he skinned the deer. After skinning the deer he collects wood and makes a fire.
"Since you made the kill you choose what pieces of meat you want." Apollo said as he waited patiently to eat. The boy nodded as he got the fire going. He went over to the deer and picked some meat putting them on a spit to cook over the fire.
"I got what I wanted Apollo." He said as he turned the meat waiting for it to cook. The wolf walked to the deer carcass leaning his head down as he tears into the meat. Emmanuel finishes cooking his food and takes it so he can sit down by Apollo.
Emmanuel and Apollo finish eating and sit in the small clearing looking up at the stars. " Apollo the time is going to go by fast and pretty soon i'll be leaving on my journey." He said as he leaned against Apollo watching the stars.
"Yes the time will go by fast but we have to follow our paths through life even if it means parting ways." He said as he glanced at Emmanuel. They both fall silent looking up at the stars till they fall slowly to sleep.
