The Ganeswolf

A Werewolfs Tale: Within the Tower Walls

Logans Pov:

After the Moon Godess's intervention Tegan gave up control and I shifted back to my human form. This was the longest time I had remained in my wolf form. My body was hating me at the moment as my muscles readjusted.

Hulron and I walked into the towers thru a different section of the tower entrances. This time I did not loop over Hulron as I did not feel the need was warranted any longer. Later I would find this to have been useful knowledge to have had. Right now all I wanted was entrance to the nice hot shower and bed that I was promised once we reached inside. We could talk tomorrow about the mission I was sent on as it was urgent, Yet, it was not an emergency. 

Hulrons Pov:

Logan and I head back inside the towers. So discussions are better inside a more private area than out here being heard by any or the night creatures hanging out. Even the smallest of creatures can be sitting around spying to carry tales. Sometimes I purposefully give them tales to tell. Tonight however is not one of those nights.

Each of the towers around us represent the 13 original witches and warlocks that represented the first original coven. These towers are the collector of the souls of the direct descendants of each line. The good and the bad. The largest tower in the center carries all the other lost souls of all the nonhuman creatures. The powers are dangerous if found in the wrong persons possession.  Most that learned of the where abouts of the towers never left. They either became one with the tower that their powers descended from or they were used at the towers discretion. For me the Moon Godess felt mercy by showing me the way here.

Logans Pov:

We walked thru the breezeway into a garden with several winding footpaths. None seemed to lead any where. The gardens were different than any I had ever walked thru before. I have never been interested in flowers and plants still as we were walking I found myself leaning down wanting to feel the texture that looked like silk before me. As my fingers almost landed on one I felt an invisible hand grab and pull me back. 

I stood looking a bit confused at the whole scenario. One, I dont like flowers. Two, I was here on a more serious discussion than what gardens are planted here. When Hulron turned and thumped a flea looking being off my forearm. I immediately tensed going into defense mode when I heard Hulrons laughter. He had then told me not to touch the flowers under any circumstance as the knats that lived amongst the flowers were actually mini fairies and their main game was to cast spells to see who would touch the flowers knowing the flowers would wake and have fun at the offenders expense. Being as they do not get  many chances to cause mischief they never miss an opportunity to do so. I would make sure to pay more head to the slightest movements around me. I was also warned not to do them great harm.

As we got closer to the main tower in the center. The paths begin to clear and show the true walking path  ahead of us. The entrance way was not a door at all as Hulron walked thru the wall ahead of me and told me to step lively before the walking portal closed back up. Even though I had heard of such this was the first I had seen of it first hand.

On the inside it was actually quite plain. A desk, a table and chairs, a small work table. There where also a few doorways leading to other rooms. Hulron had requested me to sit at the table. He removed his cloak and I can't believe what I am seeing. He has just revealed an older version of myself. I will not say a mirror image, but enough that I know those features each time I look at them in the mirror. I couldn't find the ability to take my eyes off of him. I am an orphan so I am thrown back by the possibility of a kinsman here. Tegan, I am sure would have detected the connection. I continued to study Hulron as he busied himself around the room, grabbing an old frayed edged book, he took a seat at the head of the table and motioned me join him there. I am still staring waiting for him to look directly at me. And then he does....

Hulron's pov: 

As we were walking into the main tower I found it hard to not let the flea fairies to not have fun with this young pup. After all, they have to be like myself bored with the same old same old day in and day out routine. They wouldn't have done any great harm to him with the powerful aura he carries but that doesn't mean that he wouldn't have harmed them not knowing any better. I chuckled once more as we walked into my main living quarters. He said he is looking for someone so I grab my entry book. It has the names of all the lost souls that are dwelling here and to which tower that they belonged. 

While I have powers bestowed upon me as the keeper of the tower, I am in fact not a magical creature. I am also not weak, as I was a higher ranking wolf from the pack I had originated from. So I keep alot of various notes about the towers that I protect. I like my role as the keeper. It's the only place that I get to feel her. I know she is here. It is as close to her as I will ever get to be again. I feel my heart squeeze in pain at the thought of her. I can never again speak to her. Its not like being here I get to live some kind of life with her. It's my penance because I failed her. My mate, my love. She resides here because I failed to protect her in life so now I am her protector in death. 

I feel my eyes began to swell at the threat of a tear escaping. I refuse to show my pain to this stranger. I am flipping my book open to the werewolves section. I then looked up to really see the wolf in front of me. I hadn't looked prior because we were walking in the dark. Thru the passage ways he had been behind me. Now in the light of the room. In this moment I felt my wolf. He does not talk to me much since we lost our mate. The pain is to great for us both. I don't even know how to respond to Rowdy. Rowdy's voice is strong as he says Pup! Rowdys voice was heard by both myself and Logan. What the hell does he mean by pup. All I can do is stand in shock. Getting a better look at Logan I knew exactly what he meant.
