THE FORGOTTEN WOLF

Chapter 6

King Reed was aberrant of what he heard. It was absurd.

"B... but who could have released them? I was told they can't be released, so who has such powers to do so?" King Reed asked the high priestess acrid.

"Well it seems that someone released the wolves, I was shown a girl; although her face was covered, she was the one who released the wolves from their cage", the high priestess replies.

"But how? I was promised that they won't be released, I want to know who has the guts, who has such powers to release the Odinlete wolves".

"I was not shown her face but I think you should ask your former High priestess, she might know a thing or two and would solve this". The high priestess Luciana said.

"But could she be? I haven't set my eyes on her ever since that day, it has been so long I have heard from her. You of all people should know what had happened to the high priestess before you". King Reed said acrimonious.

"Only she can solve this mystery". Luciana told Reed.

"Even if I find her, would she help me after what I did to her 90,000 years ago. Anyway I will try to find her first". King Reed said  then turn and shouted "Guards".

The door to the throne room opened and two guards came in, bowing their heads.

"Announce to the whole kingdom that anyone who knows the whereabouts of Arizona, the former head priestess of Crescent should come; he or she will be rewarded".

"Yes my king", the two guards said and left the throne room to deliver the message around the kingdom.

"Now we only have to wait and pray to the moon goddess for someone to know her whereabouts". Luciana told the king.

Annabel was speechless and shocked, her mind racing like a hailstorm; Arizona again?

Erica and Eric were still kept in dark, they do not know who was Arizona neither do they know why their parents were shock earlier on when Luciana mentioned 'Evil Odinlete wolves'.

**********************

Odin and her grandmother journeyed that night to some unknown destination.

"Grandmother, where are you talking me too?" Odin asked for umpteenth time since they began the journey. But as usual the old Lady gave Odin her normal reply.

"Don't worry Odin we would soon reach where I want to take you too".

They came upon a clearing and the old woman bent down looking for something.

"Where is it? It has to been here somewhere", the old lady whispered to Odin's hearing.

'Ehmm, black wolf, do you think she wants to harm me? I am scared you know' Odin thought.

The reply came sooner.

'No, there is someone who she wants you to meet. You have met this person in your past' the black wolf answered.

'Past? Do you mean to tell me that, my dream was real, that I died and I was reborn?'

'Oops, didn't mean to say that, got to go'.

'Black wolf'

No answer.

She was brought back to earth when her grandmother said

"Yes I have seen the key".

Odin turned and saw her grandmother lifting up an ancient key up in cool night air to examine it. She wore a smile and turned back, placed one of her hands in the air and started moving it.

"What are you doing grandma", Odin asked, confused by her gesture.

"Shhhh, be quite and let me concentrate in find the invisible door of Ancient". Was the old woman's reply and she felt the air.

All of a suddenly, she smiled and put the key in an invisible lock. A door suddenly appeared before the eyes of Odin.

The old lady turned and face Odin.

"There is someone who wishes to meet you. My job is done here Odin". The old lady said and gesture for Odin to enter the door.

"Who wants to see me? Do I know this person?"

"I cannot say Odin, enter the door and find out the reason why I you have never step your foot outside the house you lived, why you were meant to be alive from the beginning of time".

Still not understanding the old woman, she walked towards the door and entered.

'Once you are in, close your eyes and say, ahy eyl ghy dyi, open your eyes and see your answers' the old lady voice echos around her as the door was firmly shut, putting her in darkness.

She did as she was told and when she opened her eyes once again, she gasp out.

She was back again at the waterfall, the same one she had seen her dreams.

Why was she here again?

"For you to know of your past. I am the one that you want to see" A lady's voice replied her thought.

Odin quickly turned and saw a lady, a beautiful young woman; but her eyes seems old.

"And who are you if I may ask", somehow she was afraid of the lady. The lady look familiar to her as if they had met before, the question was out of her mouth before she stops herself "Sorry but have we met before, you look so familiar".

The lady laughed, even her laugh rings bells in Odin's ear.

"My name is Arizona and yes we have met before Odin".
