their heaven

chapter 1 intro,choose your path

You walk down a long twisting path that your ancestors have walked down for thousands of years, carving their prints into the stone. The wolves that were here, no they are still here they are in the sky, walking with me from their heaven.

You walk into a clearing, only to find yourself sitting in front of a large rock that is bathed in silver moonlight. The stars above twinkle like they were made of silver. Shadows dance as the wind moves the leaves in the trees above you. You look back on the rock, and now you see a large cream colored wolf sitting on top of the rock. It replaces the moonlight. Golden eyes rest upon your own.

You ask "Who are you and why are you here?'

The wolf replied "who I am and what I do should never cross your mind here. Remember your path is your own to follow. Your ancestors will protect you as long as you stay true to yourself. From this day forward you cannot go back. Just keep moving on."

The wolf disappeared. Then 5 paths appeared in the moonlit woods.

Path 1-Hunter: The smell of fresh rabbit and deer calls you into the center path, you feel a strange sensation that you belong here, and you start to breath deep. Becoming one with your surroundings not knowing it will be your new destiny. "Ignorance is bliss young child someday you may find that the hard way" said a huge brindled wolf that was slightly transparent. Before you could speak the wolf disappeared into thousands of fireflies spreading quickly to form the shapes of millions of huge wolves all lined up along the edges of the trees and grasses. A forest deer pleads you to move onward, you chase it until it fades into the sky twinkling into the stars. Surprised you look around to find yourself welcomed by a new pack. The alpha male came up to you and said, "Welcome to Their Heavens favorite hunting grounds...

Path 2-Caretaker: The wind blows the smell of wounds freshly treated. You wish to help, so you start running towards it you find a freshly killed rabbit and pick it up to deliver to the animal. You reach the clearing where the animal is and drop the rabbit in front of the animal. Before the rabbit hits the ground tufts of soft fur came up at you, and when it fell back to the ground nothing remained, except a pack of wolves. "Welcome to their heaven, young wolf."...

Path 3-Pupsitter: You hear the sounds of pups, scared pups. Something has to be wrong you start running in the direction running as fast as your paws will carry you. As soon as the beast (that was attacking the pups) came into view you leaped at it striking it with all your might, killing it with a swift and agile bite to the neck as it fell to the ground, the pups and the beast then disappeared in a flurry of feathers. "You followed what is right and you defended the pups, welcome to Their Heaven"...

Path 4-Fighter: You hear the sound of a bear in the distance. You move towards it not thinking at all, when you see a female wolf defending herself. You run to help her, biting the bear's neck you tear at its fur, fighting with all your might you defeat the bear. It fell, leaving a pile of autumn leaves. "You fight well to protect a being you don't even know. How worthy of a hero; welcome to Their Heaven."...

Path 5-Healer: You smell berries and herbs all along the Path. You sniff each and every one, instantly recognizing the name in the purpose of the herb, or berry. You observe how to find it and where it grows, and you feel safer knowing this information. You continue down the path, your eyes glance around a small clearing. An injured fawn was laying there you rush to help it, gathering herbs and treating the fawn as if it was your own pup. After you finished treated the fawn you laid down next to it as it disappeared into fresh, clean, spring water. "you have the heart as strong as oak, a mind as sharp as a thorn, and a body as nimble as a cat, yet you help prey? Hmp. That is probably the most respectable thing I could think of. Welcome to Their Heaven"...

"I see you have found yourself in Their Heaven's territory, that's okay, don't worry I won't hurt you. Just how far do you wish to stray from your territory?...Oh never mind you look so confused. Let me show you around." A large cream colored male wolf guides you along a strangely familiar path, perhaps one you have only dreamed about. As the stars shine brighter with every step you take, he guides you onward, or perhaps it is not just him who you are following, perhaps there is someone, or more than one, a pack leading you on a quest to find your heartland, your heaven. You look down thinking, and in a moment's glance the cream colored wolf you were following disappeared whispering an odd name, in which you have never heard before, that name was Oculus. Looking around for the cream colored wolf you see yourself surrounded by thousands and thousands of huge wolves, all of which three times your size. One stepped forward, broad shoulders, large face, muscles rippling under his fur, he had a black brindle on red under fur. A handsome wolf you thought to yourself in awe. You soon notice he is slightly transparent, and shimmering slightly like the moons reflection on a silent forest stream. The wolf spoke, his voice like the sound of the wind moving in the trees, and he said: "To those who are loyal this is a place of refuge, to those who are loners this is a place of welcome, to those who are lost this is direction, and to those who destroy for nothing this is a place to fear. This is our heaven, nothing without the sprit of a wolf may go in, this is our heaven, and you are welcome only if you can obtain the epitome of freedom the heart of gold and a loyal sense for what is right." The wolf backed off allowing for a female to approach you. Her fur was white as snow, with a cream colored piebald. She had starry green eyes and a slender build. As she started to speak her voice was quiet, but screamed the power and patience a true alpha has: "The power of having a pack pays off. Loyalty, not just to your pack, but to yourself will pay off. Stand up for you and your pack mates against any kind of danger, even if you would have to face it alone." Almost instantly another wolf came up with markings opposite. Cream colored fur with snow white piebald: "Few words can mean a lot if spoken correctly, so pay attention to what an alpha or any other member of a pack has to say, even if it is an omega, it might just be a life or death situation." The two wolves disappeared into the shadows. And soon did the rest. You sit in awe of what you were just privileged to see, the large cream colored wolf that lead you here leads you back leaving you with the knowledge you just obtained.

if you follow your heart you know what will be right...
