A Dream of Long Ago

In the night, Jack found himself tossing and turning as his mind begin to expand into the dream state. Sweat strain cover his body and bed sheet as his dream lately has been about wolves and the ever-expanding forest.

Jack find himself in the body of the wolf running in the long forest - he could feel the surge of his wolfish nature - familiar scents entering his snout. He howls with the rest of the pack - he's with father and his siblings - doing their duty as mother lights them on their way. The surrounding passes him by like blurs in a painting - he knows his duty and revel in the enjoyment of it - it paradise for him. He could feel the vigor through each heartbeat pumping blood into his limbs, those limbs that are thrusting him forward toward their destination.

"Great Father! The scent is fading - the wind is dispersing it! It seem that the wind-spirit tries to deceive us." He hears himself growl in an unknown language. The huge dark Wolf ahead him gives a flicker of his head, "They won't for long." The Wolf leaps forward giving his pack a large gap as he bails out a loud and horrifying howl. Jack can feel the strength of the Wolf's great howl - the very tree quiver in fear - and the wind drops the scent. The Great Wolf lands on the ground - the land shaking as it tries to support the weight - continuing with the Hunt.

Jack could feel pride swelling in his heart - that he was a child of the Wolf - he would do the best to fulfill his duty. And soon - the image of the Wolf become darker and darker until it fades away. He continue to run - he need to run - he has duty to perform to keep the long hunt balance. He see himself ripping apart of darkness with his teeth - keep the darkness at bay as he keep the light from doing the say. A swirls surrounds him - some harmless - others not - they bite him and hurt him. But he shrugs it off as he pounces on them with his fang - what they do to him he will return the favor.

A loud howl is heard.

Another howl is heard.

Another howl is heard.

and Another howl is heard.

Jack howls as well - something is off - something that his siblings calling forth. He run and run - the howls and growling is becoming clearer - the scent of blood and more blood and essence is felt. Jack is afraid - it does not make sense - his mind is flashing around and around.

He's on a hunt.

He's with the Wolf.

He's slumber under the Luna's watchful eye.

He's howling in sorrow.

The earth quake before it breaks - before he see the wide split between the spirit and flesh. Soon, it's gone yet the hunts continues - it continues and continues. Jack finds himself continuing his duty entering the deepest darkness - making the balance. And lastly, Jack turns to see a huge set of teeth coming for him before snapping the darkness around him. He see the spirit that coming for him - surrounding him and enclosing - he is defeat.

And defeated again.

He goes down - defeated again

Killed. Killed. Killed. Killed. Killed.

"Try again."

"Next time?"

"Try again."

"Another time?"

"Try again."

Jack awaken - sweating - the howls of the wolf can be hear in the background. "Damn.. wolves.."
