"The first thing that Life ever created was her home.

It's a special plane with no possible access and its where Life experiments and create the things she then puts over the Plane of Creation.

Life's home Plane does not really have a name but we faery call it the Elemental Plane."

-Bee May, the faery of knowledge

"Life's home"

Annabelle had her foot bandaged by Stria and now they were drinking a bitter herb concoction while talking and waiting for Little Wolf.

"Are you really ok with that little devil around you?"

Asked Stria, she asked every time Annabelle came hurt to her.

"Yeah... It's not his fault, my family is cursed."

Said Annabelle sadly.

"We get hurt and people around us get hurt too, some times even worse than we do. Little Wolf cannot get hurt and even if he's reckless, his heart is pure and he got good intentions."

A little smile touched Annabelle lips while talking.

Some yells and high voices were heard from where the hurt hunters were sleeping to then quieten up again.

"Are you sure? I feel he just does what he pleases without thinking too much of the others around him."

Stria cocked an eyebrow.

"Err... He means well. I'm sure..."

Said Annabelle embarassed.

"So, how are the hunters?"

She changed the subject.

"Eh, Sidon kept his word and brought back all the hunters alive, and I kept mine too. They will stay alive."

Said Stria with a serious tone.

"It's good to not lose any member of the village. I never saw the First Hunter break a sweat, but today he was dead tired."

Said Annabelle a little worried.

"From what the hunter said to me, they fought a pack of over fifteen enemies. Todd's teaching helped them well, they stayed togheter and kept them off with the spear and well placed arrows while Sidon covered their weaknesses."

The old woman told Annabelle then, she took a sip of the bitter herbs, coughed a bit then continued.

"The hunters wore the pack of droppers down, made them flee to regroup. Then Sidon found three really young droppers that couldn't move anymore and saved a bear cub, when the hunters heard the calls of the other droppers they left. They got to a creek not far from the village, washed their wounds, clenched their thirst and then came back in. All togheter and all alive."

Again sounds and noises came from the room.

Stria made to get up but, a chastized Little Wolf appeared silently into the candlelight that illuminated the two women.

"I told you to go play somewhere, should have told you to not bother the hurt people under my care too."

Admonished Stria.

Little Wolf kept his head down then, he subjected the two with his scary-puppy eye face and said.

"I'm not a stinky wolf right? I do not sweat, I clean my self when I get dirty. My nose is really sensible, I can recognize all the villagers by smell alone! My body does not smell, I don't have any odor at all! I think? Right? Right! ... Right?"

Stria looked at the First Hunter son really intently and failed to comprehend what was happening.

Annabelle just started laughting really hard, so hard she fell to the ground and couldn't stop laughting and rolling around onto the hardwood. All her pain to the foot forgotten for a bigger one to her belly and maw, she had even tears to her eyes!

"It's not funny! I'm serious clumsy Annabelle! Answer me!"

Whined Little Wolf.

Annabelle laughted some more, when she remembered to breath again se said between smiles and a little laugh.

"You..."She chuckled"... Talked with with Kitty right?"

Annabelle chuckled again.

"She's the only one outside your family that can reign you in like that."

"It's late. You little lady need go to sleep. And you little devil need to go home!"

Harrumphed the old healer.

Little Wolf did not wait for the scary old lady to say more, he took clumsy Annabelle in a princess carry and with his usual ghost like silent steps rushed out of the healer side of the caretakers longhouse. He got his clumsy friend to the cubbyhole where clumsy Annabelle and her mother unlucky Mary slept, quickly said his goodbye and left.

Little Wolf was just outside the caretakers longhouse when, he heard a commotion happening in front of the Village Chief's house.

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS! THE KINGDOM OF ARTHUS WILL HEAR OF YOUR REBELLION! I PROMISE YOU!"

When Little Wolf came close enought to see he saw father Sidon and unfair Alfonse escort away the merchant that came to live recently inside the village and his two bodyguards. He tried to follow them but was caught by a hand. He got turned around in place and came face to face with his smiling mother.

"And you? What is my little man doing here at this time of the night?"

Said Fianna with a big smile, her eyes were cold tho.

"I-I was waiting for you two to get home then, I heard the ruckus and came to see what was happening, what is happening?"

Asked a shuddering Little Wolf.

An heavily pregnant Brielle appeared to the door of the house and said.

"The forest is too dangerous for the village, we don't know what is happening. So we close the doors, we isolate and wait. Whatever is happening will pass. It always does."
