"IT is finally complete.." An eerie silence followed those words, the stale sound of absent oo's and awe's filling the silence for but a moment before the speaker continued, "IT will be the most powerful of it's kind. Quite possibly the only of its particular kind.." The unknown voice continues to ramble, giving no details, no understanding whatsoever.
As if answering the call of curiosity, a man of moderate build bearing broad shoulders and a well cared for beard stood into the dim light of a flickering light post, allowing it to illuminate his tailor-made suit periodically.
"IT this, IT that. What is this thing and what purpose would it serve our cause? The enemy grows stronger every night, and they've taken several of your creations under their own mantle already! Who says we won't lose this 'All Powerful' creation as well?" The man's questions sizzled in the dry air.
The previous speaker, who can only be assumed to be an Inventor, stopped to ponder for a moment. Then cleared her throat after a solid minute over the crowds protests, allowing the voice of an empowered woman to be in full display as she replied
"Did you mishear me, Gerald? Let me reiterate for those of you hard of hearing," The Inventor pauses once more, as if collecting the strength to speak on. "HE is finally complete, HE will be the most powerful of his kind, and quite possibly the only of his particular kind. To answer your questions, this being is a living creature, same as you or I, possibly more so. This being's purpose is to live, so is ours. That means combating the superstitious and overbearing forces pressed against us, and to prevail and see the horizon the next morning. He won't fall into enemy hands because he is alive. Like all of us he can't be reprogrammed, he has blood flowing through his veins, and real memories in his brain. If he turns against us, then all was for naught. Even if then.. Would you all regret following me until now?!" Heavy breaths escaped the woman's lips as she closed her statement atop the stage;
The crowd of men and women below her, each bearing arms and some form of eastern centric garb. A thought provoking silence lasted.. Suddenly, breaking through the silence came the sound and visual display of sparks and gears, steam and mechanisms. The pod resting behind the female inventor began to glow and stir.
"What? I didn't even activate him yet...!" Thought the inventor aloud, the crowd of people readying themselves for any potential threat.
The pod sprang open, a sea of smoke pooling from within before revealing an infant black wolf. The wolves eyes were the brightest shade of blue, yet also soft to look at, nearly mesmerizing. What was more amazing was the fact that the wolf pup had single-handedly stolen the attention of everyone in attendance. The wolf pup leapt from the pod, landing beside the female inventor with eyes closed, before a stern voice of leadership was heard.
"Everyone! Please, put your trust in me and we will make it through this trial, whatever it may be. I intend to keep my promise and lead you all to victory, allowing you all to prevail on this day and see the sun rise on the next." The most action filled reveal yet, and even more so the most inspirational.
Everyone had no words, had no other reactions but to cheer happily. The words spoken and shared by both Inventor and Invention had a funny way of instilling passionate emotions in others. The female inventor cradled her invention, the wolf pup, in her arms. The wolf pup holding a great sense of determination on his face in front of the crowd of onlookers.
"Now, Let's end this war!" The inventor bellowed, the crowd roaring in approval, and the wolf pup's hair standing on edge in anticipation.
