Birth Of Terra (2)

GAIL POV

The tales of old are no different from the morden ones, the difference would be that in the olden days a lot would be done in secret while in this new life only a thousand are veiled while the rest are exposed to the world. People still want love like Romeo and Juliet which I find absurd because why would you want to die and never fully experience life with your loved one ? or why would you want to be locked in a castle by a beast and loose your mind to a point where the mental torment causes you to think your best friend is a tea cup?..beats me..but back to my story. No wait..back to "the boy".

The boy had stayed in his position and decided against going to the bathroom. He was not sure how to react to his new self, he did not know who talk to and or what to even the person. At the time the boy had only one friend whom he had believed would help him but that friend was always busy and was known to the boy as snoopy and would only take evidence as facts. How would he tell that friend? Should he even tell that friend? what was he going to say anyway? "Guess what my wolf talks like a sexy military man now." pfft..of cause not. The boy decided after a long line of ghosts to talk to that he would tell no one and just keep the secret between him and his wolf who had already realised the change that had occurred to it. The wolf unlike the boy was excited and started to pretend as if it was indeed a military commander, before, he always comforted his human with a soft voice but now he would get to sound like a father comforting their child, the wolf was content. The wolf had had fun with the new voice until they were discharged from the hospital unfortunately the boy was still a bit anxious. " What if I am a demon now?" He had thought. ..but life had to move on.

After leaving the safe high walls of the medical institution the boy and his wolf decided it was time they went for a little stretch since their body was still feeling a little drained from the ordeal that they had just been through. They waited until the evening , which was their favourite time of the day since most wolf families would be in their houses avoiding wandering in case they did bump into a rouge. It was also a time when the boy would usually have finished most of his house chores and was allowed free time like the slave they thought he was, now the boy was sick so his mother decided for his week off they would all be eating from takeaways and thus not needing to clean the kitchen. The only time they all tried to not mess the house too much because no one would clean it since the boy was now sick, the only time they somehow acted like a caring family.The boy did not feel grateful, they would soon go back their old behaviour as soon as he was healed.

Standing at the bottom of his favourite mountain that was home to the most thickest giants of greens he had ever seen, the boy stretched and took in deep breaths to ready himself for a run that had long been overdue. The day his enemy had attacked him, the boy had been planning to take on this challenge but unbeknownst to him it was the day he would have to take a two week vacation to be able to properly feel his feet again. He felt lucky, he felt a bit blessed that he wasn't human. The damaged done would have left him as corpse.

"Are you ready?" He said to none other than his wolf, the both were anxious and a little hesitant to proceed with the transformation, both wondering if maybe they had any physical changes to their wolf form. The boy's appearance was still the same pail vampire like skeleton he had seen in his full length mirror back at home but maybe his wolf was different? The wolf didn't know and neither did the boy of what more shocking changes would have happened to them after the tribulations they had been through.The pond near them would serve as a perfect looking glass for the two as they shift into their new self.

"I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM GETTING THE CONFIDENCE FROM BUT LETS DO THIS!" Bellowed the wolf from within the boy, who flinched at the booming sound as he was still not used to his wolf's new thunderous voice.

"Terra no need to shout! you are in my head you know!" The boy scolded his wolf which in turn just hummed in response. Finally after believing they were ready to shift, they did. The process unlike always was painful and long and the pain that seethed through his joints as he took on a new form made the boy believe that he was cursed. It was too much!. After what felt like hours of shifting, the boy , now in his wolf form drew closer to the water and examined his new appearance. Nothing. The boy felt a slight drop of disappointment about to choke his throat or burn his chest but he convinced himself to be happy as he wouldn't soon have to explain to their council the kind of magic he was using.

Ignoring the feeling in his chest, the wolf started his journey up the mountain, first it was a jog before it accelerated into a one against self marathon. The boy ran as fast as he could , passing the huge trees and jumping every dead green he would stumble upon. He ran and soon realised that something wasn't right. The wolf abruptly stopped, causing the two to fall face first , kissing the ground with their snot as they landed. The two groaned and heaved as they sat up again, shaking the dirt from their fur as they stood and huffing the dust away from their snot.

"Did you feel that!?" The boy asked his wolf who was also just as perplexed as the human side of him.

"IF YOU MEAN US FLYING THROUGH THE WOODS THEN I GUESS I DID. IS THIS A NEW THING WE HAVE NOW? WILL THER BE MORE? WHAT IS THIS? ACTUALLY WHAT AM I ? , TO BE HONEST EVEN WHEN YOU SLEEP I DON'T . I SEE EVERYTHING, AT FIRST I THOUGHT I WAS IN YOUR DREAM REALM BUT REALISED THAT EVERYTHING I WAS SEEING WAS IN REAL TIME. I HAVEN'T FELT A BIT TIRED OR SLEEPY EVER SINCE WE CAME FROM THE HOSPITAL AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS BECAUSE OF THIS NEW DISCOVERY OR JUST THE MEDICINE'S SIDE EFFECTS" The wolf told his human half honestly .

"I don't know Terra, I really wish I knew what all of this was but we will definitely find out. We must" The boy also answered his wolf in honesty. The two decided to continue with their run and try to explore their newly unlocked skill, both wondering what more will come and just how far their body can continue to expand and or what more they could transform into .Bringing us to the moment when the wolf had now finally decided to take a "rest" a normal way most would say was their leisure time but to the two it was something rather abnormal since two months ago.

What did "rest " mean to the boy who felt like his wolf was dying?
