Chronicles of the Wolf Book II: A Wolf in Sheep's clothing

Chapter 7

Frozen lands, I remember that my father once talked to me about the frozen lands of Kyzlbrahma, it was to the extreme North, it was called Kaxyndgy, it was an extremely mountainous region that was apparently ice cold. My father had told me that part of his trials that he faced to become a member of the White Wolf Council was surviving these frozen lands.

I kept wondering as I walked through this flash frozen lands of this planet, if this was what my father had experienced when he was in those frozen lands. The weird thing was it was not cold. It was nippy, but it was not a temperature that I would expect a totally frozen world would be.

“Is this the world you saw?” I said out loud as if asking my father.

“Who are you talking to?” Walker asked.

“My father told me of when he was in this frozen part of my world as part of his test he had to face when he was getting ready to become a member of the white wolf council.”

“The White wolf council was the overseeing group of my race.” I said. “And my father was a member of that group.”

“Does that make you a member?” Walker said.

“No,” I said, but I laughed. “Although by now I think they would have welcomed me with open arms.”

“Why do you say that?” Walker said.

“Because the challenge my father had to do sounded like something that we encountered when I saw that younger version of myself.” I said. I stopped for a moment to realize that this was indeed the case.

For some reason I had not even thought about it. My father had said that he had faced a younger version of himself, but he had called it a vision from the forefathers. I began to wonder if this meant that there was something similar on my world?

That was impossible. At least I thought it was impossible. It was now that I was starting to wonder if one day, I was going to see my kind again.

“You seem deep in thought,” Walker said.

“I was starting to wonder I some sort of star builder thing besides this amulet was on my world.” I said. That was eating away at me, but what was eating away at me was wondering if the creature was still over there. More importantly was there a way to go back? Only time would tell.

After a while I decided to mess around with that belt the creature had given me. I did think that perhaps it was a good idea not to look like myself right now. Especially if what the creature said earlier was true, I would get attacked.

“How does this thing work?” I asked to nothing, but I was pulling and pressing and tapping on all the bells and whistles on the thing until it suddenly made this strange buzz noise and it changed me.

I looked down at myself and saw that I had completely changed. This damn belt had completely changed me. I was now a furless creature like Walker, except it seemed like I was an adult version of him.

“This damn thing does work,” I said, and my voice had changed, it was not deep nor guttural like it used to be.

“Woah,” Walker said.

“How does it do this?” I said looking at myself.

I was wearing this sort of coat that reminded me of one of those things I had seen people wear back on Rho. I moved my arm around and stretched around. It was weird. I didn’t know what else to think besides it was weird.

“What does it feel like?” Walker asked.

“I feel like I am in my body,” I said.

“I suppose that would be correct,” Walker said. “You technically are in your body.”

“But I don’t look like it,” I said.

“That’s true,” Walker said.

“How does this work?” I asked.

“I said earlier, my kind has something like this, but this is leaps and bounds beyond something I could even conceive of. It literally changes how people perceive you, that is an extremely powerful technology.” Walker said. “Maybe not Star Builder level but it is still something comparable.”

There was a sudden beep that came from the sliver that Walker had. Walker looked at me before reaching down and picking out the sliver out of his pocket and pulled it out.

“What the hell?” Walker said looking at the map.

“What is it boy?” I asked.

“The map,” Walker said. “It now shows this planet.”

I walked over to Walker and looked at the map. It was showing everything around us we had seen. The giant gate, the pyramid we saw, the city that had been frozen over and way to the north was another city we both assumed had to be the city where the females were.

A few moments passed before suddenly these glyphs appeared. They were different than the glyphs we had seen earlier. These numbered in 8 and they were scattered outside of the map, at least most of them were. There was one that was in the city.

“What are those glyphs, boy?” I asked.

“I have no idea,” Walker said. “But look there is one right there.” Walker pointed at the city that was to the north.

“I guess we will see soon.” I said.
