The Enchanted Grove

We come to a halt just before a large but unassuming hill. All around us the plains stretch out in every direction, an endless carpet of green sameness, with everything looking exactly the same no matter which way you look.

I turn to face my pack, brave warriors, strong and bold. There is one who stands amongst them. He has the shape of a man but there is something of his scent... that is not quite right... It is almost like a hint of the night walkers smell, but strangely... more human.

"The grove stands just beyond this hill. You should know that this is a special place. You will be safe here. however you must guard the secret of its location with loyalty"

I turn and leap up the hill before us, and then as I reach the top I launch myself into the air.

I fall down into a little rut clouded in the shadow of the earth. A moment later the rest of the pack lands all around me.

Before us stands a small grove of trees. There is nothing particularly amazing about the trees, but they are all sturdy and fair looking.

However, as you look around, you notice that the land is slightly sunken. Its like you are standing in the palm of a hand. All around the earth itself rises up in just the perfect way, to make this grove completely hidden from view on all sides.

I lead us forward, into the trees, until we come to the center of the grove. There we find rocks laid out in a semi circle, with a larger flat rock positioned at the head of the formation. I now make my way to this larger rock, which I sit upon, waiting for the others to arrive.

"Ask your questions."

There is nothing hard about being a werewolf. Its who i am. Its natural. Its like asking if its hard having hands, or having a nose to smell. Its the most natural thing in the world.

However I know the experience is different for each of us.; ▶ Reply to This

In answer to your question Charles Ash, the hardest thing that I would think is others... assumptions about you. Besides that all is well *smiles brightly*; ▶ Reply to This

I don't smell any danger from you. But this is still disrespectful. Ive already said we are not a circus to watch with amusement. This is a private meeting, you were not invited to it. If you want to know about us you will have to ask for a meeting of your own. This is for Charles Ash and for the pack. I must ask you to leave.; ▶ Reply to This

I hunt, my fierce senses tracking down even the most agile and tricky prey. I listen quietly to the song of nature... and let it wash over me.

Then there are the lunar nights. The evenings of the full moon when me and my brothers and sisters come together and howl at the night sky.; ▶ Reply to This

My favorite times of the day are when its warm sunny and breezy... and I love the night, because I love the moon and the stars. I just really like to enjoy my days. I hunt as well.

Permalink Reply by Melody on July 31, 2009 at 12:39am: Well my personal belief is that the Lycans are the pure bred, I believe that they were a creature no different from anything else, that they are only... pure animal. I believe that somewhere down the line... the blood of humans were mixed in with the lycans... creating a werewolf... half Lycan... half human. I now believe that the blood has been diluted and changed... so that it now runs through the veins of many unknowing humans, never knowing when the gene will take into effect. What I think a lycan is, is a very strong, powerful wolf.
This is just my personal theory, I only speak for myself.; ▶ Reply to This

The one thing that we all share is the spirit of the wolf. This spirit is part of the world. Its inherent in nature. It existed before humans and will exist after them. Im not sure of the very first creature to take this spirit into them, but it would be a very ancient story

Now Charles..... I have a question for you. How do you plan to use all of this knowledge? What are your real intentions?; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Taegore The Ruthless on August 3, 2009 at 8:44am: there's no need to leave and its not the same question. I understand you wish to learn. However what drives you? What do you use this knowledge for? Is there a book you will write? Will you share it with others? Or is it simply curiosity... and if so why such driving curiosity?; ▶ Reply to This
