"Run! Asena, run!", were the last words of my father before he was brutally murdered, I sprinted in my nightgown down the forest path as fast as my two little legs could carry me, behind me I could hear muffled footsteps and the constant cracking of bones, I ran faster than I had ever run in my entire life and my heart threatened to leap out of my chest, my hair was wild and slapped across my face, a couple of times, my clothes all ripped and dirty swayed around me I ran deeper into the forests, my feet felt numb as it continuously thrashed unto the pointy edges of stones and twigs, I had started to feel dizzy and lightheaded and my breath became short and unsteady, I felt tired, too tired, I wanted to give up running from the inevitable... death, I thought of how wonderful it would be to be reunited back to my whole happy family, my mom, my dad my big brother… and that was when I saw it, a dazzling lake of clear water shimmering in the moonlight, the moon lake, I thought I raced towards the lake and without any second thought dove headfirst into the sparkling, clear, blue liquid, I floated silently in the middle of the lake, silence that was exactly what I needed right now, the peacefulness filled my soul as I drifted around the lake and gradually submerged myself in it to become one with the water, I looked up into the inky black sky and saw it was a full moon, although not glistening white as most of us would have expected but instead a shade of scarlet red
Behind me was a rustle of leaves and I tilted my head slightly to the direction of the sound, also at my left came to a snapping noise of a twig, before I could say what in the world those terrible creatures emerged out of the forest trees one ... by... one, WOLVES
“There you are”, said a brown dirty looking wolf with scars entrenched unto his body
“We thought we lost you back there, such a good runner … for a human, I suppose”
“you could say that again”, a black wolf with a deep scar on his eyelids and a piece of human flesh stuck between his teeth .” O I bet you will be the tastiest one yet…”
“No!”, I tried to yell, scream out for help but no words come out, the wolves snarled and ran around me in slow circles and before I knew it they horrid creatures leapt into the air with their jaws and canines gleaming under the moonlight and their sharp and dangerous claws reaching out for me
“no… don’t… HELP!” I screamed; those were the last three words my human mouth said before something spectacular happened to me
The wolves got closer to me by the second and just when they were about to reach out and tear me into different tiny little pieces a sudden bright light burst out from the lake, I was lifted by an unknown force, the wind caressed my hair and new energy bubbled within me, my eyes turned bright white and all the scars that I had received from running suddenly disappeared.
“Asena Otsana”. A feminine voice boomed from behind me. I turned around to see who it was and to my greatest surprise saw a lovely woman with a light shade of blue on her hair and angelic eyes and a soft facial features, “Asena, from today onwards you’ll be known as, Asena Rieka Otsana,… the power of the she-wolf
“R-Rieka”, I stammered nervously, she nodded, she raised her right hand in a slight wave “I give you the power of the wolf, a lyncan, you are from this very day a golden lyncan, the only of its kind” and with that, she had disappeared into the empty darkness
I turned my back to face a frightening cluster of wolves at my feet, emotionlessly I raised a finger at them “be gone”, and with that a large blast of black light shot out of my fingers. I stared at the blast in awe, till it cleared down, there was not a single werewolf insight they had all perished, I stared at my hand bewildered by shock, A monster, that was what I was and with a huge thump landed on the ground below, finally I can rest I thought as I closed my heavy eyelids for a long and forever sleep, from a distance, I heard a twig crack, “who goes to…” before I could complete my statement I drifted into empty darkness as I felt myself being lifted and placed in a sack before totally losing my conscience.
