The Wolf with No Howl

Chapter 6

Mystical

I woke up at mid to late afternoon as I exit the den stretching my muscles. Feeling rested up, except the drowsiness that was lingering on me for a little bit. I saw SnowStar with the pups training to become snowpups. This wasn’t helping me with the thoughts of being unable to escape. Powerless! Trapped, oh I wish I could contact this Spiritwondery.

I guess I have not much of a choice to go with the flow of things around here. Maybe I could learn their ways prove them, so than I’ll be able to fight on their side allowing me to exit the den! That has to bring me the point to be blessed; as a warrior so the moon god and earth goddess will be happy.

So what would Alpha Commander Flameblazer do in this situation? Wait…why am I asking this?! I don’t know her that well, so how can I compare myself to her? I laughed in my head. Anyway I still need to figure a way out of here.

SnowStar was coming my way as soon as she spotted me up and about. It seems like she had a charm with her sparkles pulling me into her daze for a moment; shaking the feeling off. So I could think clearly, without her beauty distracting to me.

“What is it?” SnowStar asked.

“Oh, nothing just a pointless thought that came a crossed my head.” I replied with no attention and telling what was going on.

“Are you sure?” she reassured.

“Yes, just tired.” I yawned. “I see your helping the pups on their training. Do you do that often?” I looked at her face searching to see how she would answer back.

“Yes, we don’t have much snowwarriors to teach them, since their out on the borders due to the constant fighting.”

“I see, now are they out of this shielded area?” I asked. Hoping she wouldn’t catch on from what I was doing. I tried to gather much information as I could use for tactics to escape.

“My, your full of questions about this pack, why are you in this bundle?” Sensei SnowStar was curious.

Oh, no was she catching on to what I was doing here? As I froze up with no plan on what to do next for my methods; I wasn’t thinking one hundred percent of this through.

“I don’t k…know what it means to be part of a pack that have these abilities?” I responded unsure.

“Not every wolf has the ability to go down this path, whether they had a choice to do it or not.” Frostbreaker replied.

“Most wolves don’t know about it, with their spiritual aura caged away from their warrior blood. Hidden from their destiny unlike the past where it was more open to the gods and goddesses that grant them these abilities. Never having the chance to awaken, staying in slumber for their whole life.” Sensei SnowStar shared this news to me.

“Sensei should we even be sharing this with him, we can’t forget Mystical is our enemy!”

“Don’t worry Frostbreaker he won’t be sharing this or be escaping anytime soon! There no fighting skills in him that will even bring an advantage to his way.”

Something didn’t feel right, I felt like a presence was loaming over me. Don’t tell me, I’m still asleep right now?

“Yes, you’re still sleeping right now! You wanted to contact me, did you not want this?” A female voice responded wanting to guide me into the right direction.

“I’m allowed to see you…?”

“No I can’t allow you to see me just yet! There is a plan being formed right now as we speak. Which you must not tell the enemy of this visit they’ll be expecting it…!”

“How,” I asked.

“There is no time for this right now, unless you want to waste my time. If we wait too long they’ll be able to sense my presence in a matter of moments. We have to make this quick, I had put you asleep aura on you, so when you awake it’ll be the next morning and the day would have passed.”

“Then we should have more than enough time…”

“Wrong!” she replied irritated of trying to explain the situation. “The dream world’s time passes much more slowly in time, five minutes in this place is an half an hour in reality.”

“Wow, really?!” I responded shocked.

“Come this way your earthwolf blood is awaiting to be awakened; Earth Sensei Sakura already knows of this answer.”

“So I’m not a warrior…”

“When you were born it was destined for you to become an earthwolf!”

“Then you’re here to guide me,” I looked at the blue orb flying around me talking; unable to see its real shape. Trying to study it, and see what type of spiritual creature I had. The scenery had changed to distant area that was sending me bad vibes with creepiness that came with it. I didn’t recognize this darkness that was roaming around.

What was this area? I felt cold death with mist that was wet as if were morning dew. The chill gave me goose bumps all over my body. I shook this evil off as the spirit orb guided me into the right direction.

“You have to be blessed where other wolves like your pack has not. This journey will not be easy along the way, and you’ll have to travel with your friends to distant land. That is miles away from your home you know so well!” she spoke.

The trees in this area were dead as the swamp swallowed the land with its disaster. I felt something deep in that swamp where the worst muck was at with a small source that was pure and lost.

“What does this swamp have to deal with me?” I asked trying to tune into my senses to get closer to the source that was in the muddiest part.

“It has more to deal with you than you think! This is where you have to travel to with the escape plan that I planned out for you.”

“An escape plan how? You’re a spirit, are you telling me you can open that field. I thought we have to be connected to do something like that.” I replied.

“I’m no ordinary spiritually creature, but I can’t reveal my identity yet. The only way this work you’ll have to do as I tell you! Do you understand?”

“Yes, I understand, so what do I have to do?” I was eager to find out.

“Alright this what you have to do.” She told me the directions, “Is escape the den when I open the field; you’ll have only a few minutes to get through the opening otherwise you’ll be trapped here! When you escaped and you’ll see a deer with one antler, follow it.”

“One antler,” I was puzzled from what she had meant.

“Yes, he will lead you to the edge of the swamp you saw…”

“What about the others you told me were going meet up with me?”

“They’ll be following the same deer that will lead them to you! Don’t worry; now let’s get back on track. There will be times you feel like you’re drowning in the swamp don’t give up. Remember to stay and focus on the source even when it seems hard. This experience will only make you stronger.” she responded. Disappearing after she had said the last of her sentence.
