Weeks have passed since my coming to the village I have become good friends with Rale and Shia, Bria teaches me how to talk more clearly and read, and I work in the fields with Hararald on my free time, I missed Alvis, every night when I wrapped himself in his elf blanket the Bria gave him and I wonder why Alvis hasn't come to rescue me or even visit me, I stayed awake most nights hoping she was okay.
It was now September 20th and it was my birthday it was the one day I could never forget as I grows older to 18 the day I would take in the mantle of the Protector of Sio forest, I would be 13 years of age this year and for my birthday I requested that Hararald teach me how to make swords, as Hararald also was the towns blacksmith. I walked up to Hararald "Why were you climbing the mountion?", He didn't want Rafe to know he was up there because the elders told him a boy would be up there, " I was collecting iron from a patch for a soldiers sword from the capital" explained hoping I wouldn't realize he was lying.
I was still mostly clueless about a lot, "may I help make the swords then tag along to the capital" I asked hoping to get a yes I wanted to learn as much as possible about Humans, "sure why not" Hararald replied, I jumped in excitement, I was going to go to the capital and I was going to help make the swords.
I started to help make sword's every day while keeping all the scrap metal in a bucket for my own sword, every day I would wake up and go to the fields and help with the rice, then I would return at lunch to work on my reading and talking then play with Rale and Shia.
Fitting in with these new people was hard but I was learning quickly I guess I have Alvis to thank for that she did always make sure I learned quickly so I could keep up with the others, everynight I would go for a walk through the thick trees that laid about 10 yards behind the villege wood worker, I hope that one day I would see Alvis sitting there waiting for me but days went by then nothing then weeks, months and Never did see her, it was now winter I came to these people in early summer just to think how much time went by without a single word from Alvis, the pups most be having pups of their own now maybe one day I'll be able to go play with them again. Putting my old life behind me I began to train in the art or using swords, throwing knives, and shooting a bow I wanted to be stronger I lost Alvis and will never see the pack again so I needed to protect this one I was now 17 years of age years have gone by and I grew to start to believe that what happened in the past was just a dream. The military is hear to take the new recruits anyone between the age of 15 and 19 in the villege would become a soldier if they picked you that is, I was sharpening my sword it was a nice long but thin sword I think Harold called it a katana when I forged it what ever that was suspose to mean, the soldier's were pulling people out of their homes and putting them into the back of a cart when all of a sudden I fealt someone pull my shoulder back, I ended up putting my sword through his leg in response the other soldiers laughed and said that what you get for startling the wolf boy that's what outsiders called me because I was raised wild, but on this day would be where they really tested my skills they put me into the cart pulled by two black horses, this would be the day where I would fight for the king, someone I'd grow to hate. I arrived in the barrecks within the great walls of Valern, the commander wanted to test each of the new soldiers skills but not with wooden swords but with real ones, they let me take my sword and knives with me and I guess this is why, it was now my turn I would be fighting the 20th corp commander and if he deemed me worthy on holding a blade then I would come a soldier. we were surrounded by big thick stone walls with blue flags with a lion on them I guess the barreks is on the border of the walls, I've only been here once before and that was with Harold. I didn't wait for him to attack I swung my sword he one handed block it pushing me back, I had trained for years but still was only a skinny boy, I used the lightest metal to make my sword so I could swing it with no effert, I looked at him dropped my sword and printed towards him , he swong at me hit cut my arm leaving a big gash as he was cutting into me I slide down through his legs and stuck one of my knives into his knees, he started to yell at me "you Fucking brat I'll show you where you belong", so I ran and picked back up my katana I focused on the area around me then once again but not for a long time everything dimmed around me and the only thing in color was a white wolf with a scar over its eye, "you thought everything you experiance was just a dream but it wasn't it was all real and to prove it I'll open up your soul a little bit and let you feel whats hiding within, I felt energy flowing through me like I somehow gotten stronger, I ripped a piece of cloth and wrapped it around the gash in my harm, fuck did it ever hurt but I couldn't stop trying these duels were to the death unless the commander finds you worthy and I wasn't about to die now blood was dripping from my arm onto my sword with to point in the ground I started to run at the commander dragging the point through the sand I quickly spon my sword in a circle through the sand making a dust cloud it was hard to see but I knew where he was, I fealt the commander slash my leg, it really fricking hurt but nether the lest and ran behind him and put my blade around his neck, the dust died down "move and you die" I said with a smeark, he laughed "your worthy to continue holding your blade and he quickly grabbed my arm and threw me to the ground, "I'm Assigning you to the 32nd training corp I thanked him and make my way to where they stayed.
