Seasons turn and spring begins. Our hopes and dreams we hold so dear to. We live and die in the cycle of life. The world turns over and over like a spinning ball. We all wonder what the purpose of our life is. Some of us just go on living, just going with the flow. Accepting whatever comes their way, no matter what it be. Destiny and fate, two paths entwined into one. Paths set before us before we were even born. Though not visible we still live day in and night out in this little world. Hopes shattered, lives mangled. Our dreams scattered in the dust. We do not set our paths, they do. They are the creators and the high beings of our world. We have no choice in what we were destined to be. We are simply puppets in their one-minded game. Goodbye world....
You trailed along the sandy path. You had no clue why you even went on this journey. Something crawls within you, urging you to follow the words that trail along your mind. Wanting to get rid of the nagging voices and instincts, you went on. Finally falling out of exhaustion and dryness. You tilt your head as you see something in the distance. Shrugging it off as a mirage you look away. Suddenly a flick of feathers beating against the air. A gush of wind blows up around you. You turned to gaze at an ivory-colored wolfess.
She seemed almost like a ghost. Her angelic wings folded neatly against her side. A claw necklace accompanies the end of her neck. A light blue circle encircles both her light blue colored eyes as well as a light blue lightning mark under both. A silver Egyptian bracelet circles both her forelegs with an Egyptian eye embedded into it. Two silver tail rings clasped her tail. Her ears embedded with a silver earring on each. She seemed so different then any of those you have ever crossed. She seemed almost mute, maybe she refused to talk. Or perhaps she had nothing to say. The setting changed to a ghostly aura bringing you to your knees. You were no longer exhausted or thirsty, was this a miracle?
The female's ears pricked up as if reading your thoughts. She agaped her maw as a light chuckle escaped her throat. A light cheerful smile spread across her maw, I seem to puzzle you stranger. Come sit and I shall tell you a story. A story about myself if you so wish to hear. She spoke without opening the likes of her maw. Almost telepathically, you slowly came to sit near the wolfess as she began to speak words to unknown.
My name is Nalanaa and I was born like any other normal being, except I was never normal to begin with. I was born on January 3rd of the year 2003 and I was raised by a gelert, her age matched not her mind. She was a very strong and wise gelert, but her temper was a very fair one. She raised me as if I was her own, to this I believed I was her daughter as she was my mother. But in truths these were all lies. I was a simple blue and white wolfess with red streaks along the sides of my face to neck. What they meant, I cared not of, they were meaningless to me or anyone. I grew up as the kind and caring wolfess as you see now. I could never ask for anything more. No it wasn't of me to be such things as that. Hatred and anger was never a thing for me to show. It never struck me as hard as it did the emotions of the others around me.
Though, I did live as the others had. I traveled with my gelert mother wherever she was to go. She was my guide, my idol. Like any child, their mother was everything to them. She was the very soul of my life. We resided in a land called Valhala, or more so a pack called Valhala. This place was so great. I met so many different creatures, befriended everyone I came across with. I even befriended a sky being by the name of Alika. I thought once I was of sky being heritage. Yes it was very funny to think of it now, but I was a very foolish child. I was a wolf raised by a hound or gelert to say. Of course I saw this was wrong, but I was only a child. You can only hope for the best and breeds were of no concern of mine. For I have said once before, I am a child of kindness. As I grew older I fell in love and on Valentines of 2003, I was mated to a wolf by the name of Howler. He was a charming gentleman, a male any girl dreams of and I was glad he was mine.
He was there the whole time I had thought I was a sky being. In reality we both knew that was all lies and will ever be. I met my mother, and I hated her with every rising blood in my vines. I met my father, I hated him more. My parents, I hated them both for ever abandoning me on this earth. They cared not of what had happened to me, no not at all. I do not lie about this, they told me to my face. It angered me so much, shattering my heart to pieces. I tried to avoid them both, I was not one for hatred. I lived my life knowing my only blood cared not of me, but I knew I was of angel and demon descendants. My angelic side overpowers my genetic demon side, I am better then my parents, better then my mother.
With Howl I had two children by the name of Rillakin and Clouwri. I loved them both with all my heart and valued to protect them. Sadly a volcano erupted in Valhala, my daughter and I were trapped in the middle. She wanted to play hide and go seek during the volcano, I told her no. In result to the child's nature, we both died. Come now let me finish. I went to heaven and searched desperately for her. I found no trace of her, I do not know why. My mother tossed me back on earth as something different. Something beyond the likes of my changes. I was a fallen angel and she could never accept me.
I became a split-toned wolf. With two set minds, what they were I had no idea. I had double opinions, double will. It was all too confusing as I came back to Valhala, watching those around me with fallen hearts. I was speechless, I felt I did not belong; but I remained watching those I once cared for walk around me as if I did not exist. I interacted with them as much as I could, but it was not the same. My life was so screwed up, there was no going back now. Destiny had set my course and I went on and on until life was nothing but a vision from beyond. Valhala soon began to fall as the leader, whom was a great friend of mine, disappeared from the pack he had once called home. With that I sought my own pack and came across the Oasis. There my pack was created.
I became to realize many of my new and old friends came to rejoice me. To join my humble pack and help me lead it to be the best one could ever ask for; but sadly I was not the same Nalanaa they had once known. I watched my one true love cry over what he thought was my dead lifeless soul; and to never see his daughter ever again. It was a pity to see it all; but I remained hidden in secret, never to tell a soul who I was. Oh, but how I longed, so longed to tell him I was here, back in flesh and bones. To some flesh and bones, but to some I was nothing but the lifeless celestial being I was born to be.
Because of me, my pack suffered many incidents. Demons and among other beings caused havoc among my home. The Oasis, as we called it, went through so much to say. I had no idea what they wanted and no idea why. I had nothing to possess or was it that I did not belong? After all this, I had finally gotten the nerves to tell Howl I was back, I was here now and that wasn't going to change. He was joyed and happy, but sad at the same time. My son Rillakin was sad as well. They were happy to see me, but sad Clouwri was never to return to this earth ever again. Though, we tried to make our life the best we could do; but in turn that was not enough. Our feelings and lives were beyond our own. We began to change from each other, realizing our feelings were no longer the same as they had been when I was..more alive. As much as it pained us, we had to let our hearts go. Untwisting the knot that tied us together and we never saw each other again. Even my son left with his father. Our final goodbyes had been said.
I never saw him after that and I went on leading my pack. Befriending someone who became my best friend in the whole wide world. His name was Niku. After my life had been torn from Howl, I grew depressed and sought haven in the shadow realms where I was changed to my true and born form. It was surprising I would have to say. I fell in love with a demon, so pathetic of me to believe he was all I could ever wanted. We went through a lot of tough times. Encountering my father and rising a war between the living, angels and demons. Heh, it was so wild and I had learned what I was capable of. I had three abilities: healing, orbing, and feeling one's thoughts. They were all great I would say.
I had two children with my new lover, Phantom. They were awkward children and had developed a far worse genetic line then me and Phantom. They were confused children and troubled at the same time. Dysori, the youngest daughter, had grown to hate demons and hunts them. Ty, the oldest son, is a troubled demon-shadow child, who likes males. I have no problems with the paths my children have chosen. I still watch over them though and make sure they are still taking the right path.
As time grew, I had my first birthday on a very special day. With that birthday I had made a wish, to be mortal like my friends. My mother scolded that wish, but it was granted. To which I became mortal again, but I still carried those three abilities with me.
I don't have much to say about this chapter of my life. Things come and go and things were slightly smooth. I can say that much I suppose. Life isn't meant to be so happy about. It's a test to fly across and a test to hold. Perhaps this was my test to show how true I am to who I am. My lover, Phantom, had come to love another. He had torn my heart in two and I could never forgive him for what he had done. I thought I had loved him and I thought he had loved me. I suppose I was wrong, but then maybe I was right. Even after that, we still talked and stayed friends, for he cares so much about me and I about him.
My best friend, the one I was so blind to see, killed himself. Tumbling over a cliff because he thought I did not love him; but he did not stay dead long. He came back from the grave and came back to life; but during those times he seemed so mad. Though, now as timed smoothed down, he finally got the nerve to ask me to be his. My wonderful, beautiful Niku. I agreed and we now have two children, Cheimau and Damorri, my beautiful twins.
This is the only thing I have left to tell of this chapter.
During the times of war and all those things that happened during the time of my rein, some things happened. My land seemed dead and long gone, so I became sadden. While watching one of my baby boys, I was kidnapped. I wasn't to sure why or by whom. I don't even remember what has happened to me during the time I was there. All I could remember was screaming, pain, and then the darkness. What could have happened? I heard voices, I heard silence. Everything seemed so hard to take in.
But there was hope. They were looking for me.
I was grateful, but at first I wasn't to sure whom was coming to rescue me. I didn't even know where I was or even why I was there. It all seemed so confusing to me. All I saw was darkness.
Then I was saved.
After I was saved, we went home and there I took my son privately and stepped down from my pack. I handed it over to him and pleaded to him to take great care of the Oasis and everyone within it. I had great confidences in my son, Ty of the shadow dogs. He may not have confidences in himself, but I did. With great help, I know the Oasis pack will rein once more among the deserts in which I had once called home. To which I had finally let myself fly away from the land I had taken from scratch and built a safe haven. I slowly became the true being I was born to be, a guardian angel. This was a form I had truly come to accept and was amazingly proud of. To this day I watch over those I had kept so dear to my heart, my friends and my family. I have even taken upon the liberty to watch over and guide strangers in need. Everyone needs a guardian angel every now and then.
Slowly the female takes a step to the side and moves her tail to reveal a shy little reptilian creature. He looks at you and makes a gurgling hissing sound and quickly tries to hide behind the she wolf's tail once more. The ivory she wolf agapes her muzzle as a silent chuckle escapes from it. Shaking her head briefly as she turns her attention to the little creature before her. Please, forgive him, he is a bit shy. Nalanaa slowly lifts a single paw and nudges the little critter forward as he hesitates. He yips and clings to the female's paw and eyes you suspiciously. A small grin lights up her muzzle as she reclines back upon her haunches. This is Shugo, she motions, he is a niptor and was a gift from a friend of mine. He is rather friendly, but is quite shy and does not like strangers very well. Though, he does make a great companion.
Slowly the angelic being lifts to all fours, the little niptor scrambling to his toes at this sudden action. A motherly smile creeping along her heavenly features as she watches the little critter's frantic actions. She adjusted herself briefly and extended her wings, lowering herself to the ground as Shugo bounded up onto her back. Slowly light blue eyes turned to gaze upon you as that same warm, motherly smile still remains along her wolven lips.
Stranger I wish you farewell.
With that said, the angel was no longer there. The desert was no longer there. It seemed nothing was there.
