Lenox spent his four childhood years in the Wolf forest. To him,the wolf forest which was considered one of the most dangerous places in the kingdom was more of his backyard. To him being banished to that place was a vacation rather than a punishment. After entering the forest,he was forced to face off against many dangers at first because he was searching for the territory of one of the Wolf kings he was familiar with. Being banished to the Wolf forest would mean certain death to most people but to Lenox it was true freedom that he has been granted for free and a time to stay away from all the political struggles. This was mostly due to a secret of his that not many people knew of. On his eighth birthday, he realised that he could communicate with wolves and to some extent command them. He also realised that his senses were sharper than normal people and this was what had allowed him to survive even in the blood forest and this ability also proved to be quite useful in the Wolf forest too.
Lenox spent the first year roaming in the Wolf forest with the Wolf king and they got involved in many exciting adventures. Some were fun while others were life threatening and at times the even trespasses into the territory of another wolf king onot to end up in a life and death battle that forced them to flee for their lives. That was the time Lenox felt he had a close shave with death. During these four years he learnt how to survive in the wilderness and honed his martial skills pushing them to the level of a martial arts grandmaster. Walking out of the forest after four years,Lenox turned to stare at the cave he had been living in for the last four years and he couldn't help but smile especially considering all that he has gone through." Big guy,I am now leaving. Take care of yourself. I will come and pick you up when I am leavimy," Lenox said .
He closed his eyes and a crescent shaped mark shone brightly on his chest. When he opened his eyes, the crescent shape could be seen on his eyes." Keep the Lunar mark a secret. Not a second soul should know of its existence or else it won't end well," the Wolf king said." I will," Lenox said as his eyes turned back to normal and the mark also dimmed before it stopped shining. Lenox walked out of the forest with his worn out and rugged clothes. After four years he had definitely changed. His demeanour was now more noble and completely refined. He was now 1.75 .eyes tall. His white hair were now long as he had never made an effort to cut them short. His muscles were now more defined and he was more masculine which made him look more attractive and charming. Lenox was beautiful if he were to be described in one word as he looked more feminine.
As soon as he walked out of the forest, he found soldiers waiting for his arrival. After four years he was no longer certain about his mother's condition but he was sure his father kept his word anyway he didn't dare to delay any longer." Your highness,welcome back," the soldiers said in unison as they bowed towards Lenox. One of them handed Lenox a cloak which he wrapped on himself. "At ease. Cut off all formalities. Let us set off for the place immediately. I want to visit my mother," Lenox ordered as he mounted a horse to the palace. Despite living in a technological era where science and technology was currently at its peak and the kingdom had the best technology that was unrivalled in the whole world,on very rare occasions were the princes allowed to use the flying cars,bike or any technological devices before reaching sixteen. Since Lenox had yet to reach sixteen he had no access to any of these devices.
The news of his return want shockwaves across the kingdom after all he was infamous in the whole kingdom. Not many people believed it to be true. It was not until most of them saw him return to the empire in person in a rugged shape that they finally believed it. Lenox made his way towards the palace with no intention of stopping whatsoever. Lenox did not wait for the soldiers who were following him as he made his way towards the emperor's chambers as he believed that was the only place he could find his mother. As a prince he had his own palace which was named as the purple palace but he rarely stayed in his palace because of his mother. Just as he made his way towards the inner city through the Eastern gate, he was stopped by the city guards.
"Your highness,welcome back. His majesty told me to take you to him," the captain of the city guards said with a cordial smile as he bowed slightly. Lenox only narrowed his eyes when he saw how the captain bowed to him but he did not mind his attitude." I will be there. Tell him that I will be seeing my mom first," Lenox said with an indifferent expression." Your highness, his majesty said that your mother is in the central hall with him in the palace so don't bother going to look for her in the moon palace," the captain said with a smile in a more neutral tone." Lead the way,"Lenox saìd as he dismounted his horse and followed after the captain of the city guards to the palace. King Alexander was seated on his throne with Lenox's mother to the left just seated besides him. The captain humbly bowed to the emperor with a fervent expression on his face before he left the family of three to reunite." Your majesty,mother,"Lenox saluted in an indifferent tone and he did not even bother to bow to his father the emperor but Alexander said nothing about his nonchalant attitude as he was already used to it.
