《The Owl House: Wolfwalkers on the Boiling Isles》Part 7: Running with the Wolves
Advertisement
Luz just kept on running through the woods, shocked about everything that happened to her tonight. She was running at full speed, as her tail had bits of ice crystal on it. She was starting to get tired, but she didn't care. She had to find a way to fix this. And knew exactly who to go too.
She was so busy running, that she wasn't paying attention to her surroundings. As she tripped and fell. She looked up, to see a silhouette of another wolf, walking away. Possibly to it's den. But Luz knew who that wolf was. "Katya!" She shouted, and ran after her, still trying to get use to her four legs. She heads through a forest path, and follows Katya's sent all the way to the den she lives in. She got to her, as she bumped into her, and the two fell right into the den. Katya appearing on top of Luz, and growling, "Who are you. How did you find this place!" "No wait. Katya, it's me." said Luz, in a frighten state. Katya regonizing that voice to be Luz's, and gets off of her. "Is that really you?" "Yes, Katya. It's me. But that's not all what I was going to say. Why do I look like this?!" Luz asked. "I don't know." Katya replied, confused. "It wasn't supposed to happen like that. Cuz I healed the bite. So, I thought you would be fine. I guess not." "Guess not?! Katya, I almost got killed because I'm now a Wolfwalker! Change me back!" Luz demanded. But Katya's face went to disappointment. "About that, according to the legends, once you're bitten by a Wolfwalker, you'll become one yourself. And that's it. You can't reverse the affects." "So, that means I'm stuck like this! What about my body?!" "Don't worry, cat lady. Your body is back in bed, asleep. Nice and cozy. Look, you're a wolf when you sleep, a girl when you're awake. Nothing to worry about." Katya explained. But Luz was starting to worry about Eda, and her friends finding out. Including Amity. "You won't have to worry about a thing, after I teach you the ways of the wolf. Follow me." Katya said, as Luz follows behind her.

"Why do you even want to be a human girl for the rest of your days. Besides, being a wolf is an amazing experience, and way better. I'll show you." The two make their way to a nearby lake, with a waterfall. Where Luz's training has just begun.
"First off, can you smell me?" Questioned Katya. "Well, yea. Duh. All the wolves can." Luz replied, followed by a giggle coming from Katya. "Well then, close your eyes." And Luz did so. When she closed them, she can see the outline silhouette of Katya. "You don't need your eyes to see when you're sneaking up on something, or when during hunting. And you can hear every little thing. The snapping of a twig, and the pitter-pattering of the small mysterious creature's feet. As your paws, can feel vibrations through the Earth." Luz can hear and feel the vibrations of every small thing. "And, you have four legs now. Which means you can run really fast, and jump so high!" As so, Katya jumped over Luz, and started to run from her. "Catch ya later!" "Not if I catch you first!" Luz then began to chase after Katya through the woods. Finally understanding what is like to be a wolf. "Let your spirits free, Luz. Be a wolf!" And so, Luz did. She finally has accepted that, being a wolf isn't all that bad. She wasn't worried about Eda, her friends, Amity, or anything. She just let her spirit run free.
She eventually caught up with Katya, who is running along with the Pack. "See, isn't being a wolf awesome!" Asked Katya. "Very. I was misunderstood. Right now, I feel so wild and free. Like I can go anywhere." Luz replied, followed by letting out a howl. "That's the spirit." And the two, along with the Pack of wolves by their side, ran off into the night, enjoying the freedom Katya dreamed of having.

Necromancer and Co.
In a time before the existence of the present, the gods decided to create a plane of existence where all their creations could exist in the same place. In it, all would be fair, and all gaps between races and technological advancements could be crossed with a single system that the gods had created. Every year, the gods would choose a new race to put in their land, and in this new group of beautifully unlucky people, Alen, his friends, and a few people from Earth have finally met their turn to be tossed into the playground of the gods. Unfortunately though, Alen was thrust into a forest of corpse-eating bears and horribly smelly undead on his first day, one of the many danger-zones of the continent the gods had chosen to throw them in. It would be easy to say that he simply died within the first day, or that he'd starved to death or whatever, but let's be honest... That story would be no fun to tell, yes? (Re-write of my first fiction with the same name.)
8 474Rise of the Desolate Star
“The soul is a sword. The body its sheath. Adversity is the hammer, while courage is the anvil. Oh, and son? Your tears and snot, they’re just the sparks that chip away at the impurities, like dungflies off a sow’s arse.” - Kendric Farrow Ever since he could remember, young Skyle Farrow’s body and mind have been hammered relentlessly like red-hot steel against the anvil of adversity under the watchful eyes of his father. All the while, Skyle’s heart and soul have been nurtured by the enduring warmth of his loving mother. Skyle has always asked why a simple farmboy would have need for all manner of skills like hand-to-hand combat, wilderness tracking, archery, beast taming, geography, history, politics, and even embroidery! The one vital question remains unasked, however: just what are his parents preparing him for? The invasion of a demonic horde? The advent of an age of war and endless bloodshed? The dark legacy of an ancient mystical power? A desperate struggle to save the lives of those he holds dear? The end of the world? It is a good thing he never asked these questions, for the answer would have been yes - to all of them. Now Skyle must take his first steps beyond the sheltered world he has known. He has been raised strong, but is he strong enough? Welcome to a tale of friendship, love, loss and heartbreak. It chronicles the growth of a young boy into a legend whose path will shatter the very foundations of the world. Expect a rich, detailed world with vivid characters. Each will pursue their own complex agendas due to realistic motivations. The MC will be overpowered, not through liberal use of plot armor but rather the deliberate application of arduous training, clever thinking, and nurtured talent. Battles will be graphic, victories will be bittersweet, and defeat will not mean the end of the world - for time waits for no one and life goes on whether we like it or not. New chapters posted on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6 p.m EST, 10 p.m. GMT.

8 215Lawman.
Lawman follows the exploits of Relovan, a Human Police Enforcer stationed on the BlargonianPlanets – a series of small planets on which pure Essence is mined, and refined into fuel. On hisday off, he finds himself and his fellow Enforcers caught up in a fight between two Void Lords,beings of immense power, who answer only to the Council, after the pair of Void Lords touchdown on the Station, seeking to refuel their respective Void Walkers. In the ensuing clash,Relovan punches above his weight and subdues a number of Void Knights – those in the serviceof the Void Lords – before becoming directly involved in the confrontation between the VoidLords themselves. His performance during the incident catches the attention of the current PoliceChief, Nura, who essentially takes him under his wing, and assists him in various ways,including when he is summoned to answer before the Council for getting involved in the spatbetween the two Void Lords. The book ends after the conclusion of the Hearing.Relovan is a stickler for the Law – something that prompted him to learn not only the laws ofvarious territories and planetary systems, but also the native languages and customs, so as touphold the law as best he can. As a highly trained, and immensely skilled former soldier,Relovan’s abilities along with his latent talent regarding the use of Essence, allow him to hangwith beings infinitely more powerful than him. Lawman is a full length manuscript that I will likely self publish once I have the artwork for it.
