29 December 2012
Looking out my bedroom window I can't help the "O" that my mouth forms she I see a bright shinning star in the otherwise clear sky, knowing that it's Christmas Eve and thinking of the stories of the past, I don't fight it when I feel a pull toward the star.
Turning from the window I pull on some jeans and a singlet before dematerialising from the room and toward the direction of the star. Materialising within thick grass I think back to when I first arrived on the isle and the first immortal I ever met (Dante), I had literally run into him and we'd hit off out sometimes rocky friendship then.
A small smile lifts my lip as I think to Arden and how I met him, we'd both fallen into a mine shaft unable to get out and neither of us trusting the other, we finally made it out after a few days, it wasn't until after then that I met Balthazar, I swear I felt like hitting him hard when he started spouting about redemption, I'd never thought I needed it.
But I did.. It took being killed by one I considered a friend and her mate to really make me see that Dante, Arden and Balthazar had truly saved me, not just by being my friend but by actually helping me deal with the loss of my first mate on the isle.
Looking around the field I am now standing in, poppies everywhere I look. Smiling I kneel down in the ground reaching for not only my wolf and alpha power but also that of the fey within me, reaching out I pick three perfect poppies and hold them within my hands as I begin to chant, and ancient werewolves chant, sending some of my essence into the poppies, with the help of the fey powers I encase the poppies in a solid wall of my powers and inner essence of my werewolf.
Holding the now solid three poppies in my hand, their red petals glistening in the starlight, as if they're made of glass, getting up from the ground I hold the poppies in my hands as I resume walking after the shining star.
Finally lifting my head from the ground I look up to see the mouth of Balthazar and Ava's cave where Arden, Dante and Balthazar sitting round a campfire, their gazes all lift to meet mine and I nod to them all before raising the poppies in my hand as I say "These are gifts for you all, they're grew on the isle, like our friendships, they're strong and contain the essence of my people and myself".
Moving toward Arden I hand him his poppy as I say "Arden, wiz, my friend this is for you". He takes the poppy from me, not saying anything as I move to Balthazar handing him his poppy and saying. "You saved me Balthazar this is for you". He nods to me taking the poppy and I turn to Dante, a million different emotions flowing through me as I look to him, holding out the poppy to him I say; "Dante, cowboy, my best friend, your friendship has brought me so much joy throughout these years, I hope to have it always..."
Stepping back from the three of them I say; "The poppies have been spelled using my fey powers, they contain the essence of my wolf, and me. For as long as they live I will honour and fight by your sides, our friendships with life forevermore."
They all thank me and I smile as I begin to tear up before hugging and kissing the cheeks of all three of them, turning from the cave I tell them I must be going before dematerialising back to my home...
