Alkimia ~the Chemistry of Love~

90. an inevitable companionship (Grandmother + Wolf Boy)

Inside the forest, there was a hut. In that hut, a Grandmother lived.

Once upon a time, inside the forest, the Grandmother found a boy among the Wolves. And it turned out the boy was also a Wolf cub.

For various reasons, the Wolves entrusted the Wolf Boy to the Grandmother. From that moment on, the Wolf Boy had been living with Grandmother in the hut ever since.

Living with a Human means Wolf Boy had to learn how to imitate a Human. A Wolf Boy with humanity. Realising this, the Grandmother was amazed by the Wolf Leader's insight.

Years passed by since then.

There is something special about this Wolf Boy, the Grandmother senses, yet she can not put her finger on it. She is the one who taught the Wolf Boy, but it seems to her he is only re-learning, instead of learning something new.

Yet when questioned, the Wolf Boy doesn't understand what she means.

A Wolf cub which can turn into a little Boy, that in itself is already a mystery.

A Wolf Boy full of surprises; the Grandmother dotes.
