THE REVENGE OF THE WHITE WOLF のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

The Moon goddess's throne was even more mystical than every other part.The walls shimmered with frozen moonlight, celestial quartz catching and scattering light like stardust suspended mid air. Reflecting on them were the stars, giving a rotating illusion. The floor beneath was a mirror of the cosmos, giving you the feeling of being out in space, amongst the galaxies and planets outside the earth, it rippled with each footsteps.Above was the open sky, stars were out in their brightest and from time to time, shooting stars would glide through.At the edge of the vast room was her throne; made purely out of moonstone decorated with stardust. It was the shape of a crescent moon turned upright. Surrounding the throne were vines of moon flowers and evening primrose. Vases of such flowers hung in the air all over the room, blooming with the beams of the moon. Overhead of the throne was the moon, just as close as it was in the grand hall.Sitting majestically on it was the Moon goddess,

The garden was filled with a variety of flowers and it smelled heavenly here. June pulled me in further and stopped at an open space, then he laid down.“This is one of my favorite spots," he said, staring up at the sky.I laid down beside him.“It's beautiful," I commented.We laid in silence, absorbing the warm sun and breathing in the sweet smell of the flowers.“I just imagine what life would've been like if Isla hadn't happened" June said, his expression turning sour and pained.I sighedIsla was a big nightmare that frightened all of us. Her deeds etched in black across our soul.I gritted my teeth in anger and hate, my palms curled in anger.“She was…….” My voice broke and I lost track of what I was going to say." We would've lived together beautifully, had beautiful pups and you would be doing your white wolf thing but she allowed darkness to use her”June said, pain in his voice.I turned on my side facing June, then propped my head up in my arm. " I won't forgive her for th

I stared at the Moon goddess, bewildered by her story.I didn't know how to react or what to say. The whole of her story gave me different views into different things. First, that even a goddess can have the slightest human feeling. Jealousy, pain and they even make mistakes. They're not all perfect like we think.Second, the white wolf isn't just a simple legend, it stands for something deeper than that. It's a legacy Third, the white wolf didn't just come back because it wanted to. It did so because the Moon goddess suspected something and knew the white wolf had to come back.Lastly, I'm meant for something greater.Deep down inside me, I began to feel a sense of pride in myselfThe Moon goddess looked distant. I couldn't really relate fully to her whole story but I can relate to the part of family.It made me think back to when I still had my family by my side, life was peaceful and I was happy.But family being the one to betray you,is a twist that no one ever expects. And it h

I fluttered my eyes open; for a moment I tried to steady my breath as the scene in the woods played before me. My breaths were labored; cold sweats ran down my forehead as my body lay limp and paralyzed on the bed.The weird feeling, the rogue, the fight, and June. It all played over and over again.I closed my eyes multiple times trying to unsee it and wave it off, but it just kept playing. My breaths got heavier; it felt like something heavy was on my chest as I struggled to breathe.I could see Isla's scorn and my parents disappointment. ‘I disown you, you're no longer our daughter,’ echoed in my head.I opened my mouth to scream, but only air came out, and soon I was struggling to breathe. With each eye shut, the picture of the rogue slicing into my sides replayed in my head, and the pain came back. What is this? Is this a nightmare? But I'm awake? Why am I having a daylight nightmare?.I kept on suffering till someone gripped me by my shoulders and shook me violently. I jolted o

I stepped through the portal and came out on the other side of the vine leaves. It felt warm going through it, nothing out of the ordinary.The still forest faced me, silent, cold, and familiar. I glanced back at the portal, feeling nostalgic already. I felt like turning back, but I knew I couldn't, and so I began to walk. After a few minutes, I came out to the opening of the lake. Across it was June's body, swollen and already in the process of decaying. I didn't know how long I'd been gone—but long enough for his body to enter the process of decaying.I walked towards his body; the smell was pungent, and my stomach churned. I knelt before it; tears ran down my cheeks as I mourned him one last time. Even though I knew he was in a better place, the sight of his body and the thought of never seeing him again broke me once more. Flies were perched on his body, jubilating at the nice dinner. I shooed them away in anger.I can't let his body decay here like this. He needs to be buried a
