Obsidian <on hold>

Arctica

Living here, in a freezing climate, not to fun. So here we are, today is my 12 birthday, so in a few minutes I need to run back to the house. I'm sick of snow, I've begged my parents to move but now that my brother has gone off to join the green cloaks with his spirit animal, Lilia a small arctic fox, they have denied it 100%. I kind-of hoped I didn't get a animal, but if I do u hope it's like the cute fox my brother got, but none the less something that could hunt and could help, maybe.
I was off looking around, walking out of the small forest then sprinting to my house I was there within a minute or so, of course in my village I was one of the fastest runners, many people paid me to deliver messages across the town, since it was always so cold outside and everyone knew I would be outside anyway, why not put it to some use. By now I have saved a couple of coins, not much but it's something.
Getting ready I slide new jeans on, a blue long sleeve t-shirt with litte holes at the end you can stick your thumbs threw, so I slowly brush my brown hair and put it in to a fishtail braid.
After I finish the rest of the things on my to-list I head out my room and walk into the small stone kitchen. Were my parents standing there "Oh, Cleo, how are you?" shrugging I reply "I wish Ryan was here" I heard a chuckling behind me so I turned around "RYAN!" I yelled flinging myself into his arms "Hey, little sis." He happily replies "Think I would miss this?" he let's me go. "Now come on, let's go, don't want to be late." he says.
Once we get there, I was the first besides Collin, he was one of my best friends, I know he's a guy but Is like my "bffoE" short for best friend forever or else. "Hey Cole!" He rathers everyone call him by his middle name, Collin Cole Helios. "Hey Cleo." he said smiling, he had blond hair that reminded me of Ryan's red. Me and Cole were like the really fit, geeks of the school. "If you get anything what do you hope you'll get?" "Probably an owl, a snowy would be delightful!" Yea he was also one of those who had a girly side... But of course he was my BFFOE "What about you, a fox like your brothers?" "Now that I think about, I wouldn't really want a spirit animal, but if I did get one it would probably be a wolf or a elk so I could ride around." He nodded as the rest of the village arrived, so the ceremonies started.
"Alex son of Henry" the head council member called, he lifted a wood bowl, with a goldish liquid in side, once Alex took a sip he crouch holding his stomach his red hair flying as he goes down, but a small hawk was sitting in his shoulder. Alex was not to popular but enough were everyone knew him. Enough to cheer for him, many people knew him as the trouble maker...
One day me and Cole were walking to the small forest at the far edge of town BOOM in the distance I saw some smoke coming up, and someone ran on to us "Oh hey guys..." Of course Alex stood there a foot taller then me. "Uh, could I come with you guys?" he says, then with a smile comes over his face "Just till the smoke blows over?" looking at him annoyed we made our way back to the forest with an idiot close behind.

"Cole-Collin son of Levy" everyone started chuckling when they messed up his name Cole was also well know but everyone called him Cole. After he took a sip he acted like he wanted more, then noticing he wouldn't get more he looked around to see nothing. I waved to him showing it would be all right he smiles and walks back to his spot
"Cleo daughter of Streak" My father was one of the few people in the council so most of the people cheered hearing my fathers name, but for me I wish my father was a black smith or anything besides that, he's always spending 24/7 working, I just wish he would spend time with me now and then.
Steping up to Herod, I clasp my lips around the bowl and swallow. A silky liquid touches my lips but a vomiting flavor reaches past my tongue and down my throat and I felt like I was going to become sick, this is nothing like my brother describe, he said it was a rich taste like a fresh hare, made with fresh herbs, a rare treat. But now past the taste I heard a loud roaring and a snow leopard appears. It wasn't like any other snow leopard, it's fur was black shading down to a white belly.

He was Obsidian.
