The open soul

by Alexandra Henderson

The golden strip of sun rested its head against the hillside creating beautiful scenery before the first wolf god, Hilori.
"I feel so alone. The great king sighed.
"How about releasing us? The Fire hissed from the firepalet he had set down as soon as his spirit had accumulated.
"No. Never, I know how you can be mischievous. He replied sternly.
"What about the wind, she never did anything wrong. Ever. Fire crackled.
"Maybe..No. The great wolf again shook his head, he couldnt believe he was falling for fires plot!
"What about Earth, hes peaceful enough, he wouldnt hurt a soul. Fire pushed on.
"No. He is too strong for my liking. He said squinting bitterly.
"Then why not water, I hear shes as beautiful as the sun itself. Fire gave one last try not believing that this tactic would work.
"No He looked at fire then sighed.
"Fine. And he released them all, only for them to turn on him and have him slaughtered and spread within every wolf that they created. Then one wolf. Only one. Was set upon the hunting stones, for when she was created she was so ill she couldnt even speak. So fire, water, earth, and air worked on her all night, for they didnt want to fail, if they did it was said that their captor, Hilori, would come back to life with the rest of his spirit. By the next fall of dawn light they had created her, not the same wolf she had been before. They had tried to warn the others but they never listened to their signs, not once. She was named, Zlinx, she had blue eye markings, but her pack members turned on her when they saw the poor small wolf forced to kill her own leader. It is said that when she walked by them with her leaders pelt hung as a coat on her back they sneered, and fought with her, until one day they pushed her so far that she broke and all the elements shifted into her power, and surged through her paws. After the accident happened and she saw all the fear in their eyes. She was to horrified with herself and what she had become that she ran off, towards the eastern sun. Some say she died, but most still believe shes alive, and she is, because she has survived all these years though her descendants.
