Chapter 8
“Ryder? Really?” Was Prince’s first response.
“Ok.. ok.. I’ve been called a lot of things.. I bet you think Ryder sounds the most stupid.”
“. . . Yep.”
Astra blinked and looked around, standing up. “Hi, Prince.. and random.. wolf..”
Prince gave a huff and flashed a look at the wolf just so he wouldn’t say his name was Ryder.
“My.. real.. name..” he said under his breath, “is Pax. I think I can help you both. In some way.”
Pax sat down and Prince sat across from him, nodding his head to Pax so he wouldn’t say continue as Astra sat beside Prince.
“Well.. first of all.. there’s a verse in a song, with a special power. Like.. a prophecy. It goes.. like this.”
Pax was singing what was like an old tale.
“There’s a magic,
Strong and true,
In five wolves,
Including you.”
Astra and Prince were confused.
“If you heard the word you after I sang including, you’re a part of it.”
Prince was confused. He had heard the word “you”.
Astra’s ears flicked. The word “you”.. why had she heard it? What does it mean?
Pax looked at them as if to ask, “Did you?” The wolves nodded.
“Perfect!” Pax yelped. “So you’re a part of it too!”
Prince grumbled at the thought of Pax joining him and Astra.
Prince opened his mouth to ask a question but Pax said,
“Before you ask any questions, we need to see if you two fit the descriptions in the song.”
Pax sang again.
“One wolf with powers of ice,
Will be the first to run from Night,
The second one,
Brave and true,
Comes from two,
Flames and sea,
Raging free,
The third,
With powers of time,
Will save the two,
That run from Night.
The fourth,
Smart and sly,
In the sky,
With wings to fly.
The fifth,
A mystery,
No one knows,
This wolf until,
The four appear
In front of her eyes,
But she refuses,
And joins the Night.”
Pax finished the song.
“I’m the first. I ran from Shadow, and I have ice.” Astra said. Prince was kind of dazed by this song.
“I’m.. the second. My parents were outcasts, one of them a FlamePaw, the other a SeaPaw. I have the coat of arms FlamePaw but the power of a SeaPaw.”
Astra huffed, “Can we get another Dunkleosteus for dinner?”
Prince nodded and they walked to the waters edge, Pax following.
Prince dived in, and so did Astra and Pax. Using his powers, Prince allowed everyone to breathe underwater.
They swam deep, Astra freezing any piranha that came near. Easily they got another large fish and swam up, dragging it on shore.
While they ate, Astra was curious. “What is a FlamePaw?”
Hey all! Hope this is good!
