The lion, the human, and the wolf
When I woke up from my dreams, I found Erick lying low, he was feeling inferior to me ,and I felt his pain, perhaps I will feel the same if I was in his shoes, but what do I do, I needed to get back to the clan, I was actually worried about them.
"Erick, I have a feeling, that our relationship will not succeed."
"But why, I've searched for you for so long ,why will I let you go?"
"You don't see me as your love,but as a warrior, if I am a warrior to others, must I be one to you too."
While I spoke the portal to the alternate universe opened, and the light on my shoulder sparkled, but I didn't want to go in there now, I needed to check on the clan.
I ignored the light and moved to the clan, Erick held my hand.
"Pls I'm sorry give me another chance, pls".
"It's better you let go of a girl, since I am just a girl to you, I thought I was much more than a girl, to you".
I walked away, the light on my arm intensifying.
I sat on the air, and thought about what happened, was I really that jealous that I said so much ,what do I do now. Why I'm I so useless, why can't I just have one gift to assist her with. As I thought on these things , I saw particles of Star dust on every step she took and I wondered was she really a wolf or something more, no wolf has demonstrated such power except queen Claire, she might have answers.
"I climbed up the stairs, and waited for the worst to happen, no human as ever attempted to climb the steps that leads to the court of the ancestors, which I find so stupid".
"Among all the reincarnation I have witnessed as your inner wolf, this is the most stubborn, you're half human half wolf you won't be welcome there".
I smiled, I had a feeling I was more than a hybrid, I needed to find out why my shoulder kept on sparkling, is it a she wolf thing, or just me.
"Stop, right there ". A goddess spoke her crystal staff, pointing at my direction.
"How dare you, trespass, you're a human, humans aren't allowed in the celestial castle."
"I showed her the mark on my shoulder and she let me in" her facial expression filled with fear. She took me before the council,and showed them the mark on my right arm.
"I came with lots of questions, that only you can answer, ever since I was born, this mark has being on my body, but ever since I came to this realm, it sparkled, and chased death, what does the light mean, why I'm I the only one that carries so much power, while the members of the clan remain weak, pls help me."
" I will help you discover your true path ,that mark on your arm only means one thing. Your father made a deal with the gods, in exchange for power, he has given you over as a servant, to the god Purim, when it is time for Purim to fade away, you will replace him as the protector of the sword."
" But I don't want this , I don't want all this power."
" You have no choice but to fulfill your destiny, remember the sword has a mind of its own and only the lions breath can tame it".
I went back to the clan and told them of the journey I was about to make, and I told Erick to watch over them, he continued to beg but I told him the only way I could forgive him is if the gods asked me to.
The lion and the gate
I got to the white gate that divides humanity from divinity, as I crossed o realized that I was no longer human, but a wolf , humans aren't allowed in this part of the world.
The lion was the king of these parts and unknowingly the guards have a thing or two against wolves.
"Who are you, and what do want ?". The guard asked.
. "I am Veronica, and I seek the king."
" If you know the passwords you will be permitted in, but if not you will be banished nevér to return forever".
Password?, the goddess didn't tell me of any password what do I do?
I thought within me!.
Zuri spoke
" The password is glory to the king ,and long live the queen."
Immediately the gates opened, wow I think these people should really work on there password.
"Welcome ,your highness."the lion said.
"I sensed your presence long ago, what brings you to this realm?".
"I recently got a sword, and the goddess said only you could tame it".
"That sounds like a riddle, a sword doesn't need to be tamed it is lifeless I think the queen is trying to specify something else, show me the sword."
Once I lifted up the sword, my eyes started shining and the light on my shoulder became visible.
"I see, there is something unstable about you, and I will help you, but first I have a fee, my services are not free".
First a password,now a fee, great why don't you just send me to another planet.
" I need the rose of OgIlion."
Sure, sure, and that is? I asked
"Look into the mirror, and it will take you there."
Wait, how do I get back? I asked.
"Once the rose is in your hand, I will see it draw you here".
I stared into the mirror but saw only my reflection, but the kings roar pushesd me and I got in ,though scared but in.
In here everything was strange and the only thing I could see were the eyes on each tree. Zuri's light sparkled guiding the way, we finally found the rose, but it was guarded by three fairies, was I to fight them or try to dialogue.
