I met Laura and Thorne at the Chambers where they were eating.

“What was that weird thing she said about my ego?” Thorne asked me when I joined them. “Am I such a proud man?”

I and Laura stared at each other, trying not to laugh.

“What's that movement you're making with your eyes?” Thorne said when he saw us speaking with our eyes. “Am I that proud?”

“Yes, you are.” I said teamed back at him and he looked to Laura for her answer.

“Well, I just met you. I'll give you an answer in a week's time.”

“Why would you say I was proud?” Thorne faced me, frowning.

“You are.” I said avoid his eyes.

He didn't stop staring. “Tell me how.”

“Well, the first time I met you, you spoke so highly of yourself, your muscles and the fact that you're a warrior.” I told him.

“Well, I'm sorry if that gave me off as being proud.” He apologized and continued eating.

“This is delicious actually.” Laura pointed at the food expressing her joy.

“Yes. It's really nice.” I agreed. “They make the best food, I bet you.”

    “Was she?” “My name is Naomi.” I introduced myself, pointed at “This is Thorne and this is Diane..” “I know who she is. She needs no Introduction.” Orion replied. “A very brave woman.” “You remember me?” “Yes, I do.” “It's been years since we had meant and I must be looking so different from what you know.” “Not totally different. You look the same to me?”“Have you guys meant before?” Laura asked when he didn't pay attention to her. “Yes. When I was much younger and Naomi's father, the Alpha of Shadowcrest. It was just a peaceful time, then. Everything was so peaceful, there wasn't much war. I just loved those times.” Naomi described those times so dreamily. “When you talk about times like that, I wish I was born then.” Thorne replied and then turned to Orion. “Were you also little at the time you guys meant?” Thorne asked. “I'm a soul shifter.” He simply replied and gave a smile that could melt anyone's heart. “With the power I have, anything is possible.” There was silenc

    He was close to the village but we were faster with the help of Orion. Their horses couldn't be compared to the force that drove us.Soon, Lucas was far behind me and we were very close to the clan.“Lock the gate! Lock the gate!” I screamed as we passed through the wide open gate with no struggles.“Lock the gate immediately. Do not waste time.” She ordered the gatekeepers.”Make sure the warriors are ready.” Diane shouted at no one in particular. Tensions were rising as everyone ran helter-skelter.“I'll hide the women and children.” Laura said and ran off to do that.“I'll assemble the warriors and let them know what to do.” Thorne ran off too and I was left with Diane.“You need to be careful, stay with the warriors. Remember that you're his target, if he gets you then he gets us all.” Disne told me and I nodded fully understanding my assignment which was never to be caught.Shadowcrest clan was one of the smallest parks known but we had our strengths too. We were known for our f

    The arrow shot went straight to some of the warriors below.“Another one!Another one!”They kept going like this without stopping. I could still see Lucas still coming in full force. I could see his eyes, literally burning like fire. That was the kind of man he was.‘Another One!”Soon enough, the ice crest park started shooting arrows at us too.“Protect yourself.” Thorne called.“Is there nothing we can do to help the warriors? The enemies seemed to be getting close.”“Yes. What powers did Orion give to you?”“I don't know.”“You have to find out so we can use it.” He told me.“Alright.” I was practicing, opening and closing my hands. Suddenly on the third try, balls of fire came out of my hands into the enemy's camp.“What?” He was as shocked as I was.“More.” Thorne shouted to her.It was so easy for her, she kept throwing balls of fire at the Ice crest warriors. Soon enough, Thorne joined them and very quickly, the ice crest warriors started retreating.“Fire. Fire!” That was al

    When we pulled back again from each other, we smiled and turned to start walking towards the river, with Thorne still holding my hands. “You were so brave today.” He complimented me.“I was? Then I guess I hid my emotions well because I was at the verge of giving up.”“You were?”“Yes, I was so scared. When I thought of us keeping them away instead of fighting. I doubted if my plan would work. I was so anxious.”“This shows that you're a good leader, so you don't have to worry yourself.” He responded and I smiled. We kept walking and walking without a destination in mind. I didn't want us trailing off to a far place.Currently, we had to be careful of Lucas, that man could wake up and decide he would kill 100 men today and he'll do it.He knew the right words to use that would bring smiles to my face. “Thank you.” I gently squeezed his hand.“You're welcome.” He said and finally realized that we were too far from the park. “I think we should go back.”We laughed and turned back.“So

    I felt glad when we were done dancing.“That was one hectic dance move you should do there.” He said as he took me home.I laughed trying to figure out if he was teasing or mocking me. I wanted to let Thorne know that I might be leaving to Ice Crest to go home and bring back my mother here but I needed to speak to Diane first about it.“And those balls of fire you blew. Amazing.” I shouted. “You literally blew my mind today.” I was honest to Thorne.“I'm so glad I was able to do it. Trust me, I want to do more than blowing your mind away.” He said and we burst out in laughter.“Whatever you mean by that.”“I don't even know why I said that.” He replied and said goodbye.“Goodbye.” I stood on tiptoe to give him a peak on his cheeks.Later that night, when we had gone back to the clan, I wanted to speak to Laura but I found out she had gone to sleep earlier, I knew she wanted so much to hear I have to tell her.Going back to Ice crest was going to be traumatic for me. That was the past

    We went to meet Diane after having breakfast so I could tell her about the gift I had discovered and about my intentions of going to Ice crest park.“Can I go with you?” “Yes, you can but I really don't want to keep dragging you around with me. The truth is this is my cross and I have to carry it myself. I would be a bad friend if I just cared about myself and not your intentions.”“What are you talking about? I want to do this. I want to go with you. This would be so much fun.” I gave her a stare.“I know, I know. This isn't about fun but them I'll still have fun while at it. I'll like to meet your mother, finally.” Diane was with some of the elders when we arrived so we had to wait. The weather didn't look happy in any way. I hadn't seen Thorne this morning but I searched around silently with my eyes. “Searching for Thorne?” Laura asked me. She must have caught me looking around. One thing with Laura was that she missed nothing. Whenever I have tried to hide things in the past,

    “Naomi? Are you okay?” Chad dropped the bow and arrows, immediately running to me. He was joined by Thorne who discovered immediately what just happened.Thankfully, the arrow didn't hit me but flew past me.“I'm sorry, Naomi. That was supposed to hit that old bottle.” He said, looking really apologetic.“Don't be, I wasn't looking at where I was going.” I answered him and glanced at Thorne who had concern written all over his face. He was the reason I had gotten into this situation, how could someone be so good looking so early in the morning?“I'm sorry.” It looked like he was going to cry.“Are you okay?”I nodded then bent to my knees to talk to Chad. “You don't have to be.” I used my hands to raise his chin so he could look directly at me. “I see you're learning well.” I said, trying to cheer him up.“I'm learning how to shoot an arrow. You think I'm doing well?” He jumped up in excitement when I nodded my head to reply yes.“You can go on and practice more.” Thorne told him and

    “Don't just leave like that. You scared me.” I told him. “Okay.” He frowned at me like I wasn't making sense or like I was losing my senses.“What?” I asked as both Laura and Thorne stared at me.“Your acting weird.” Laura responded.“I am?” “Yes. You scared me to death when you started screaming like that.” Laura told me and I thought maybe I had over dreamt. “Did you have a bad dream?” Laura questioned me. “No.” “Okay. I'm going to wash my face so we can continue with this journey.” She left us and went her way. “Are you okay?” Thorne asked, looked at me and went ahead to arrange the log of wood he wanted to use to roast the fish he got. “Nothing.” I answered. I was only worried about him, why did they make it look like it was an abomination or an act of stupidity? Maybe he thought I was stupid when I gave him that hug. “Everything okay? You seem deep in thought.” He asked again when he had put the fish on fire he had set with sticks.I nodded. “Just thinking about home.” I

    As the celebration continued, I went over to thank Alpha-king Magnus for his help in helping us gather the warriors even though they didn't do as well as expected.Alpha Logan visited us and celebrated with us.“When we told Lucas that you didn't come into our pack, he didn't believe me and asked that I tell the truth or he'll burn my clan down. I told him everything even though he didn't let me say anything more. He only ran away,promising to deal with me.”“I'm grateful for sacrificing the happiness of your clans just because of me.”“I'm happy to help remember you helped me too.”When Laura's parents later arrived during the day, it was another beautiful encounter with them. They were so glad that we were able to stop Lucas especially when they had tried to do that for such a long time.The whole community was still celebrating when Emily came to have a word with me. “You really outdid yourself. Thank you for bringing peace back to this Park.”She was truly grateful to me and prom

    We were all in our positions waiting for Lucas’ attempt to attack us. We were all in our hiding place, no one saying a word or talking in whispers. It was finally time for me to see what I did for my community.“Maybe we shouldn't have kept so quiet and hid like this.” Laura asked, she had been waiting beside me at the tower where we were watching for any sound in the Bush outside the community.“You think so?” I asked Laura. “Yes. Maybe he now knows that we know that he was coming for us.” Laura said. I was about to laugh but I remembered that if I did that I would blow our cover. We sat down there and waited some more. “Maybe they're not coming like he said.” I said while resting my back at the tower then I heard a sudden sound of a man crying with a loud voice. “They're here.” Suddenly, there was a loud sound of a trumpet. It was truly Lucas and his men as I viewed from where I was. “What exactly is going on?” I asked, unable to process what was happening. “It's Lucas and his

    Thorne was standing right in front of me, then he approached me and then was about to kiss me but then I jumped up from the bed.It was a nightmare that I didn't want to have again. Laura had put me to sleep after I had told her about Thorne. It was early afternoon and I didn't know what exactly to do with the information about him.I had lots of questions in my mind.“Why was he back? What happened to him? Was he sent by Mascot and Lucas?I knew that the only way to get answers to my questions was to actually talk to Thorne and hear from him but I was too upset to do that. I had trusted him so much and he left me without a word. I left my room to go see how Damien and the warriors were working.“Guess what?” Laura was running towards me all excited.“What is it?”“Have you seen Alpha-king Magnus since we came back?”“Not yet. Any problems?”“Not really. Come on.” Laura literally dragged me down the same route with her. We kept running and running till we got downhill to the house she

    I and Damien had decided to go back to Shadowcrest before it got too late to do anything. From the message that Alpha Logan sent to me, I believe that Lucas was already so angry since his own was now against him. I know he was trying to plan against my clan so we needed to gather the soilders we have and train them immediately.“I have sent messages to the Alpha's that we met and they already sent out their regards and then their solders to Shadowcrest so they can began to train.” Damiem said.“And what are you two plotting?” Laura asked as she joined us. She had been spending time with her parents and we didn't want to disturb her.“What are you doing here?”“I came to see you both. What are you both plotting?”“Nothing. We are just planning to go back to Shadowcrest.”“Without me?” Laura asked.“You'll be here with your parents. What did your dad say about supporting us in this fight?” I asked her expecting a positive result.“He's scared because of what happened in the past but he'

    Lucas was literally after our life. As we ran into the Bush, we still didn't feel secure.“I think we should run for our dear lives now. Let's go back to Shadowcrest, I believe we are done for our quest.”“I think so too.”“No. One more pack and we'll go back to Shadowcrest and prepare for the war we are fighting.”“What do you think? Let's go find our horses where we left them, it'll simply make our journey as fast as it should.” Laura suggested still staring backwards checking for Lucas.We located the horses and rode on them as quickly as possible. It was too good to be true for me because I sat comfortably on the horse. Damien had told me that we were heading to Blissfall Park, the last on our list.“We don't have to bother about them welcoming us. I hear they are kind hearted people including their Alpha too.”We took Damien's words into consideration and rode into Blissful Park expecting great things from this park. We got there on time to meet the Alpha in a meeting with his el

    This was my quest, mine alone and the only people allowed to go with me on this quest are people that are willing and not people who are ordered to go with me.I understood the fact that everyone had their life to live to the fullest so I had no fight to take away life from people just because I have the authority or opportunity to do so.I cleared my throat as I was about to speak. “I really appreciate thirsting with you both. It's really nice to know that you have people who really care, not just because they feel indebted but because that's who they are.” I paused, then continued. “When I started this quest, I was angry, upset and afraid. Angry and upset because I kept wondering why it had to be me, why me? Afraid because I didn't know how to face the challenges. I'm saying this because it's only going to make things worse on my side if you have to order or force who doesn't want to on me. That'll be very unfair.”“You don't have to overthink it. That's why they are warriors and wo

    I couldn't decide if our meeting with the wizard was successful or not. Judging from everything he said about me and Laura being strong together, I already knew that there would be many challenges that would come up and we should be ready.“Why do I feel unsatisfied about this?” I wondered to myself and hoped Laura was satisfied with it. It wasn't showing facially that she was happy with how things turned out.I couldn't stop staring intently at Laura's face and keep wondering what was going on in her mind. She was way ahead of us. I was with the Aloha and Damien who was talking about how unclear the wizard was and how it would have been better if he was specific and clear with his words.“What do you think?” Damien asked Alpha Logan after making his point.“Well, all I can say is that he has been doing this for a long time, so he has a good reason for not making anything clear right now but all I can say is that everything would make sense when it was time for it to.” Alpha Logan exp

    “Stop!!” It was an intense order from a voice in the hut.I suspected that the voice I heard was the one of the Wizard. His voice was like the earth on its own, trembling and confident at the same time.“Secrets of the olds are not for the faint hearted.” He said when we were now very close to his sanctuary. His words were like gentle breeze going through the veins. I was still trying to understand what he meant by what he had said earlier but I connected it to the reason why we were here, which was Laura's parents. As I walked slowly behind everyone, it seemed like my heart was afraid of who it was going to meet but he came to sight and I could see his face clearly now. He looked like any other normal person just that he was dressed shabbily. His clothes which were once red in color had turned to a shabby pink, with a rope tied to his waist. Immediately, he set his eyes on us, he started his incantation which sounded funny, then he burst out in laughter. His laughter was like lig

    When it suddenly started raining, we all turned to each other in shock.“Do you believe me now when I say that he would really help you guys. Don't you believe me?” Aloha Logan asked no one in particular. It all looked like he said it was true but we were present.When we left the Palace, I was so sure that I wouldn't experience any rainfall but now the rain was falling like there was no tomorrow.“Oh, no. We'll be drained in the rain. My dress!” Laura exclaimed.“No. He won't let us walk under the rain.” Alpha Logan replied, confidently. He was speaking of the Wizard and was implying that the rain will stop when we get there. We were literally dancing in the carriage because of how bumpy and rough the road was.There were pathways and cracks on different parts of the road that caused us to dance as we rode in the carriage. I was still trying to understand everything the Alpha has been saying about this wizard but I still couldn't. “How is it that he is as powerful as you say but y
