| The Wolf Returns, Zinion's Past |
| As the wolf and I wandered in the woods, I was remembering the murderous eyes my father looked upon the wolf he struck with his short sword. I compared his eyes to the wolf's, I remembered how it looked at me. It's eyes were telling me to help it, they had the look of innosence in them. The wolf I was following right now was leading me back to Alexandria. I knew because of the blood trail my father left behind from his wound on his leg. The day was beginning to be night, I sat down to rest my feet. The wolf came next to me and sat, I pet its soft white fur gently. It then reached to lick my face and then it jumped on a rock and started howling. A pack of wolves came and layed around me, they kept me safe and warm for the night. I fell asleep thinking what I should do when I get back to Alexandria. I knew my father would tell my brothers about what happened and my brothers would tell their friends and then the villagers. My brother, Vetrievian though, who at this time believed that true peace could be achieved my words, would still treat me like family. Him and I got along very well. My mother, I knew that she would still love me and that her heart would always have a place for me. My father did not approve of Vetrievian's idealistic belief of peace talk. Minion said that power and money was the best way to solve problems. I started to realize that my father was corrupted by his own ambition of power and greed. During these times in the woods with the wolves, I grew up fast. It was morning and we started heading out. We suddenly came across my father's soldiers it was at least a hundred of them. The wolves cautiously moved and followed behind me. The soldiers then suddenly saw me walking by. Alexandria Soldier, "Heartwright, was right? He is a wolf, look at the savage walk back to his home crying, ha, we should kill the demon that he is." I stopped to look at him, and however I was looking at him, he got scared. The other soldiers started cursing at me, and a fire in my heart began to rage. Every word they said as I was walking by was darkening my heart, I was getting mad and I was at the point were I just wanted to cry and tell them to shut up. The soldiers then circled around me and started luaghing at me. They called me a savage, they said I was worthless, that I was an evil demon that was casted out from hell. That my mother should have killed me as an infant. At this point I yelled at the top of my lungs, I was furious and I was beginning to hate. I began to hate the human race I wanted everyone of them dead, every soldier around me dead. Then I heard yelling, the wolves were attacking the soldiers as I watched them all die I smirked with a little smile of pleasant delight. I was then laughing at them. Watching them suffer, watching them die. I let the darkness in my heart take most control after every wolf killed each and every soldier. After the massacre, the white wolf came, drenched in blood, to me. I looked at its eyes it had the look of worry in them, but I reached down to pet the wolf not to worry. We then reached our way out to the woods. I walked into the village with the wolves, all of the villagers were watching as we passed. I saw the look of fear in there eyes, as I headed towards the castle gate. My father stormed out and saw me with the wolves. Minion, "What is this? What is going on?" Zinion, "You left me in darkness, and now that darkness has consumed my heart, but in that darkness I found light stained with the redness of blood." Minion, "Walk around I don't want anyone seeing you walking in this castle." Zinion, "I will now let that light avenge itself, for all the wolves that you have killed." The white wolf quickly attacked my father before the castle gates closed. The wolves behind me quickly scattered back into the wolves as archers started firing at them. I saw behind the iron bars of the castle gate the blood that was being spilled, I saw it splatter onto the walls. My father though some how kicked the wolf against the iron bars and he stabbed the wolf into the heart. A soldier from behind then hit me on the back of the head. I then woke up in my room, and Vetrievian was sitting on my bed. Vetrievian, "Father's mad at you, let's forget about it for right now, let me show you how to fight with a sword." |
