The Forgotten Wolf

My first story Werewolf when I first started writing. Sorry if you see some grammatical errors.

'No one should know about this'.

An unknown voice told the unknown woman as she made her way down the cliff of Ezra (A place where no one goes).

The voice continued.

'They will kill her, but they do not know who she is. A time will come, when they will plead but their plea would fall on deaf ears. That day, they will realize their mistakes, but it would be too late".

"I know that. But why must you save this ill wolf that would soon die if not dead by now, why?" The lady asked. One could have thought she was speaking to herself.

'You don't know, do you? She is the future Odin, Odin has been reborn'

"But only the royals are born with Odin, how can Odin be reborn into a human, when it is just a mark all royals in the Crescent Moon kingdom have", the woman said.

'A time will come when the real story will unfold. No one knows the story of the Ancient, of love. Odin will come'.

The woman didn't say anything regarding that, she continued her journey down Ezra.

'It is here, wait here, the voice said as the woman came to a halt.

She sat down on a large stone, waiting for the child.

The rest of the royal midwives bowed their head and left the room.

When King Reed got to his wife, he wondered why his wife had that look on her face. But when he got to take a look at the child, his face also was filled with hatred. "She doesn't have the mark of Odin like she was supposed to". King Reed said angrily.

King Reed without saying a word left the room. As soon as he was outside the room he turned to one of the palace guards. "Go and call me the High Priestess". He said and left them going back to his throne.

Back in the room Queen Annabel wished with all her heart that it should die from there. She hasn't even given the child it's first breast milk before she started praying to the Moon Goddess to take away the child very quickly.

"Mother, father has just told us about the 'it' that you gave birth to. Is it true that she wasn't born with the mark of Odin?". Prince Eric asked, he was a bit taller for his age, a troublesome boy who loves disrespecting and treating the poor as cabbages. He was the Crown Prince after all and all must obey him.

"Yes, that's it on the floor".

Princess Erica quickly went over to where the baby stared at her for a moment and said "She's so ugly Mother. I wonder why the Moon Goddess let her live".

Prince Eric went over to meet his twin sister and looked down on his younger sister, her face red from all the cries, and shook his head. "She is not only ugly Erica, she's disgusting as well".

The baby had quite down a bit seeing that her mother doesn't want to attend to her nor anyone else. Everyone just hates her. Was she truly ugly? She wondered.

Prince Eric immediately kick the baby with the sole of his boot. The Baby cries filled the room again, this time louder. Erica began laughing at the plight of the child and started making faces at her.

If it was a normal child, it would have long been dead as a normal newborn baby can't take such a hit. A wolf can, and can heal at a faster rate.

" You better stay away from that hideous thing before you contact her ugliness" Queen Annabel told her two precious children.

They all watched as the baby cried out the most.

Why is life so unfair? The baby asked herself.

Why do I see so much hatred in my parents eyes and my siblings?

Why do they hate me this much?

With no answer to her questions, she stopped crying. What did she know?

Queen Annabel stood up immediately from the bed "Come quickly lets us go and meet your father, I heard he sent for the high priestess. Let us know the fate of this disgusting child". The queen said and they left the room leaving the little baby behind.

The Throne Room

The high Priestess was with the king discussing when Queen Annabel and her two beautiful children entered. They pause in their discussion to see who had interrupted them, but when they saw it was the queen they continued their discussion.

" We have to kill her, she doesn't have the mark of Odin like my two children have and not to talk of her ugliness and her disgusting looks, she has to die".

"Your Highness, don't be in a haste, you might do what you will regret in future". The high priestess said

"There is no future in that 'thing'. Every child of mine must have the mark of Odin, but she didn't have one, so she needs to die. It is a disgrace to me if a royal blood does not have the royal mark of Odin".

"Think, maybe the moon goddess is testing you".

"The moon goddess can not test us with that disgusting thing", Queen Annabel spoke for the first time. She quickly went to the throne door, opened it and told the guards to bring the child and walked back to meet her husband.

" Well, I have spoken. Kill the child and I will announce that the baby died during childbirth".

"Of course your Majesty". The high priestess replied.

The throne room opened and one of the guards walked in carrying her.

Where had they brought her? She wondered to herself.

"Here is the baby my Queen", the guards said as he knelt down holding out the baby, no one could go close to the baby. The high priestess took the baby and dismissed the guard.

The high priestess still protested again "You never can tell if she will have a bright future, although her future are blocked for me to see, but I know she will be great. Please let her live, the moon goddess might have a plan with her we do not know of".

Queen Annabel laughed out, her laughter held so much hatred in it and said. "My two children here are blessed by the moon goddess herself, you saw it that day, when I gave birth to my twins didn't you, they were blessed by the moon goddess herself. The moon goddess didn't bless her with the mark of Odin and to top it all, she didn't possess any beauty".

Moon Goddess? Who is this moon goddess they speak of? Why do they want to kill me because I am not like my older siblings? The baby ask no one in particular. " Let me pray to this moon goddess, maybe she can help me and stop them from killing me. Moon goddess can you hear me? If you can, please help me. I don't really know why my parents hate me but save me please.

"My words are final, kill it". King Reed said finally leaving no room for comments.

"Very well then". The high priestess said, seeing that nothing can be done to change the heart of Reed, she started a chant best known to her and a bright light shone in her hand only to fade to reveal a sliver knife with a moon embedded around it.

" Can't you think of this thoroughly, I just have this feelings...."

Queen Annabel immediately cut in "Keep your feelings to yourself and kill it, you are delaying this".

As soon as the priestess raised her arms to strike the baby, lightning struck inside the throne room. The high priestess made a pause midway.

"Well, kill the child, what are you waiting for?". King Reed said.

"Don't you think that the moon goddess might be telling us not to kill her?"

"You yourself said you can't see her future. She has no future for me, my king or my children, just be done with it. Soon she will be forgotten by all that had witnessed it's birth, a forgotten wolf that has no use to us". Queen Annabel said with no remorse in her voice.

"What my Queen said here is true, this will soon be a forgotten wolf to us. With time everyone will forget about her after we have made her fake death announcement and move on. So kill it", King Reed said in support of what Annabel said.

The high priestess raised her arms higher than before and struck with all her might towards the heart of the child. Her cries of pain broke through the thick walls of the palace for the last time. She stopped moving, her body suddenly cold.

Her eyes finally closed in death.

"Guards ", King Reed shouted, two guards walked in and bowed " Take this dead disgusting thing out of my sight. Take her and drop her at the cliff of Ezra where no one had ever seek. And both of you should not reveal this to anyone, if you do, I will feed you to my beast". King Reed said.

They nodded their heads in unison and one of them took hold of the dead baby and they left the room.

"Well, we have to announce the death of it", Queen Annabel said dramatically, tears coming out freely.

"Yes we do". King Reed said comforting his wife.

Eric and Erica pretending to be sad.

The high priestess keeps shaking her head sideways sadly...

Odin POV:

When a princess with the mark of Odin (eyes of the moon goddess) is born in the kingdom of Shadow Moon Crescent, that child will be highly celebrated and be given a respectable honor from all.

The kingdom of shadow moon crescent is being known as the second most powerful wolf kingdom in all lands. Their crown prince (Prince Eric) has been treating the poorly wolf like us unkindly. Most time I had wish to be in his twin sister shoe at least to help the needy people of Shadow Moon Crescent kingdom. Princess Erica like her brother (also his twin), has no sympathy for the poor. She deal with  any one including, those old enough to be her great grandfather mercilessly.

She was truly beautiful and at times I wish I was her, beautiful with a lovely soul and character. Princess Erica knows that everyone hates her but she does not care, rather she becomes worse day by day.

Regardless of her beauty, many men had sought her hand in marriage. She had turned down all the whole marriage proposals and told her parents who she wants, Prince Philip.

Prince Philip was the prince of the most powerful wolf kingdom, Black Blood Moon Crimson Kingdom. Like I had once said, there are two most powerful wolf Kingdoms in all wolf lands. The first was Black Blood Moon Crimson and the second Shadow Moon Crescent.

The two kingdoms had fought for years trying to dominate each other for as long as I could remember but to no avail.

Well, you will be wondering who I am Right?

I lived with my grandmother in an isolated place, outside the kingdom, according to her 'for my own safety', sometimes I had wondered what safety she was always speaking of. Well my name is Odin and this is my story.

Author POV:

Odin 7 years

"Mother, am I allowed to go outside and visit that great kingdom you told me of?" Little Odin  asked

"Odin, you are not allowed to go anywhere or outside this place. I am trying to keep you safe, a time will come and you will be grateful to me".

Odin 15 years old

" Am I allowed now, I have been here my whole life, please let me just see inside the kingdom". Odin pleaded.

"Odin, it is not time yet, when you are 18 I will let you have a peak at it".

"Really mother? " Odin asked happily

"Yes really".

Odin 18 years old

"Mother, I don't know why you won't allowed me to go outside to meet my peers, I had told you that I can disguise myself that whosoever we are hiding away from won't know that it's me, I am perfectly good at that mother, please let me at least take a look around the kingdom I have so much heard about, please mother please". Odin said, kneeling down begging her grandmother.

The old lady sighed.

" Odin, get up"

"No, I won't until you approve of me going to take a look at the kingdom".

"Odin, I am doing all these to protect you from dangers and from harm. I came here to hide you away from the..."

"......World, that a time will come for me to show myself to the world, but for now, let me follow your word". Odin completed the word for her grandmother. " I know that mother, but you also know that I am an expert in disguising myself. The other day I disguised myself into a young man, I can do that again. Please ". Odin pleaded.

"Alright Odin you can go but promise me you won't go near Crescent palace",

Odin nodded her head, of course just to confuse the old lady that she wouldn't be near the palace. "I promise not to go near the palace mother".

"You can go Odin, and be very careful, child".

Odin nodded happily and ran inside their old house quickly to disguise herself into a beggar, a old begger, and quickly went out towards the kingdom before the old woman changed her mind.

As she walked out of the forest, she saw her friend, Owens, a black huge Python, hanging on top of a tree.

"Where are you heading too Odin? Can I follow you?". Owens, the Python, asked.

"I am going to into the kingdom of the  Crescent and no you cannot follow me". Odin reply

"Why?"

"Because there are people out there who don't like snake like I do and would do everything to kill one if they sight it, so no".

"Very well, I will wait for you here". Owen said. Odin patted his head and continued her journey

She had met the snake when she was still a little girl. She didn't know why she wasn't scared of it rather she picked the snake and started petting it.

'What is she doing?" The Python asked no one in particular.

"I am petting you". Odin replied obviously.

A shock look appeared in the eyes of the python.

Did she just reply me?

'Can you hear?"

"Yes I can". Odin replied smiling and continued "I want to be your friend, can I?"

The black python came out of its shock state and nodded "Okay, at least you can hear me".

That had been some years ago, Odin and the python had grew so close.

Odin quickly walked into the kingdom of Crescent, she was disappointed when she saw how it was. The great kingdom she had heard so much about isn't that beautiful.

"Rubbish, and here I thought that this kingdom would be as elegant as I  have heard".

Although no denying it, the kingdom was beautiful but how could a kingdom be beautiful when the people living in it has sorrowful face.

Why would there be so much suffering in this beautiful kingdom? Does it mean that the king do not know that his people are suffering? How could the royals be so cruel?

Those questions were left unanswered as she walked deeper into the kingdom.

After a while, she couldn't see anything worth of seeing to her, she then left the kingdom.

"Well, there is nothing worth seeing in that kingdom". Odin said to herself as she began her journey back home.

As soon as she reentered the forest, she heard her name.

"Odin".

She stopped as she looks around her, seeing no one she shrug her shoulder.

'Well that was strange, maybe I am now hallucinating'

Odin thought and continued her walk.

"Odin" the voice called out.

This time Odin knew this was no hallucination, the voice was real and is calling her, but from where.

As if on clue, Odin turned and started heading to another path of the forest she hadn't been or seen since.

It was as if she was no longer in control of her body anymore.

Where am I heading too? She had no idea.

She came upon a large clearing. By the side of the clearing was a big cave, it looked so ancient.

Where is this place? Why am I here? She thought as she looked around.

"Odin, help us". This time the voice came in multiples.

And it was coming out from the cave.

What is really going on? Why are they calling out her name, asking for help? Who are they? How did they even know her name?

Those where the thoughts that crossed her mind when she heard her name been called again.

"Odin, help us". The voice came again.

Without her knowing what she was doing, she ventured into the dark cave. Her feet started taking her deeper into the cave.

The cave was quite, she heard nothing and continued.

She came to a stop when she saw five mould wolves.

What are all these things? Are they mould or real wolves?

She was about to turn and get the hell out of there when something caught her eyes.

A writing, written by the wall beside the wolves.

Without thinking she walked towards the wall and saw it was a strange writing.

She began to say the words.

She was so focused on reading the writings and did not noticed her surroundings.

As soon as she finished with the last strange word, not making sense to her, she turned to go then she stopped.

Staring at her were the moulded wolves she had earlier seen before she started reading, only that this time they were real wolves.

Wolves of different colors.

Blue, red, yellow, black and white wolves.

"You released us". The white wolf said, surprising Odin as he spoke.

The rest wolves nodded their head in unison.

"What did you mean by I released you? I did not".

"We have been in this cave for more than 90,000  years. It was once written that a child of the goddess will release us from our captivity. And now, you have released us and now we are at your command, our queen". The blue wolf said bowing his head, the others follow suit. Their nose touching the ground.

"Queen? Command? Goddess? I don't understand you, how can you wolves speak, are you humans?" Odin asked, surprisingly enough she wasn't scared of them.

"No, we are real wolves. We are what they called 'Odinlete Wolves'. We are now bound to you, you are now us as we are now you, Odin". A feminine voice said, Odin turned to see the red wolf walking towards her carefully and spoke again. "It has been foretold that Odin will release us. This cave is only visible to the eyes of Odin, no one knows of its existence".

"I still don't get it". Odin said confused the more.

"We can't say more other than that. I am the red wolf other wise know as the fire wolf", As soon as she finished saying, her fur turned into red flames. So red in color.

The blue wolf spoke next "I am the blue wolf other wise know as the ice wolf", As soon as he finished speaking, his fur turned into ice, where he stood started change to ice.

The yellow wolf spoke next "I am the yellow wolf other wise know as the weather wolf. I can bring out any weather of your choice". He said.

The white wolf spoke next "I am the white wolf other wise know as the shape shifter wolf. I can transform myself into any animal of my choice".

The last wolf, the black wolf spoke next "I am the dark wolf other wise know as Darkness, I causes darkness wherever I went to. The alpha of all wolves in this world, no matter what you are; a king, prince or whatever wolf you are, you must bow to me except you. You surpass us in every thing". The black wolf told Odin.

Odin was left speechless as she looked at them.

"Okay, even if you all are not making sense to me; what plans do you have for me?" Odin asked.

"For you? You are to command us on what to do, we are your slaves; it has been written 90,000 years ago". The black wolf said.

"So where do you want me to hide you? I can't be coming here everyday neither can you follow me to my house". Odin told them.

"You don't have to be scared, like I said before, you are us we are you. We live in you, whenever you want our presence just call out the wolf you need and we will come". The red wolf spoke and suddenly they all began to fade.

Soon the place was empty as if no one was there.

Where are they? Odin thought to herself.

'We are in you' a voice said through her mind, she noticed the voice belongs to the white wolf.

What? They are in me? How is that possible?

'Everything is possible Odin, you just have to believe it', this time around it was the dark wolf who spoke.

Odin quietly left the cave and head home.

Crescent Moon Palace

Princess Erica elegantly dressed, robes were the most beautiful flowing around her. Two maids were at her back holding the edge of her clothes. She was so beautiful that men came lusting after her; although beautiful but heartless.

Her twin brother, Prince Eric was no different, he was handsome that ladies was always left in awe of his handsomeness. Although grace with fine look, he was ruthless just like his father.

The Prince and Princess were with their parents eating their breakfast that morning when a guard came and told the king the priestess requested for his presence in his throne room.

They quickly left their food and went to the high priestess who they haven't seen since that night 18 years ago.

"Priestess to what do I own this august visit from you?" King Reed asked once he saw the priestess.

"Your majesty I greet you, my queen, Prince and princess I greet you too. All is not well King Reed", High priestess Luciana said, formality completely forgotten.

"What do you mean?" King Reed asked. Whatever made the high priestess of the moon goddess called the king by his given name seems important.

"The evil Odinlete wolves of legend has been released and you know what this means, don't you?" The high priestess said.

King Reed and his wife Queen Annabel has a horrified look plastered on their face.

Erica and Eric looked surprise to see such looks  on their faces.

Evil Odinlete wolves?

What are they?

Old Memories

Prince Philip was dreaming again.

In his dream he saw himself holding a beautiful a lady; who was gravely injured, her hair white as snow soaked in pool of her blood.

He was crying.

A war was raging around him but he didn't care, the most important person in his life was about to die.

"Why? Why? Why did you do that Odin?"

"I did it for Love, for you. It is my destiny to die and I want you to live. We wolves fought against ourselves for Powers but no matt what we are one. I have to die for peace to reign. I am sorry", Odin replied, tears in her eyes.

"But not this way, why did you have to sacrifice yourself for those who don't love you? You know I can't live without you".

"But you have to live, for me. I have accepted my fate. I promise you I will come back. You are important to me and that was why I did what I was supposed to do. My love you have to live and wait for me". Odin said

"I love you Odin", Philip said slowly wiping off the blood sear on her face as if it was burning her.

Odin closed her eyes, a smile adorned her beautiful face, as her eyes closed in death.

Love was in his eyes. "I will wait for you Odin forever".

No sooner had he said so, the sky darkened and every wolf on the battle field were freeze, Philip and Odin were the only people that weren't frozen. A lady appeared right in front of them dressed in white.

"Who are you?" Philip asked, ready to fight her.

"You asked silly question child, I am here to help you", the lady in white answered.

"Then please don't allow my love to die, save her". Philip begged.

"Do you really want her to come back again?" The mysterious lady asked Philip.

"Yes I do"

"The sacrifice has been made and every wolf would live in peace until 90,000 years when she will be reborn. I am here to take her body with me and you; you will live as she had told you, but memories will be gone. If it heaven's will you will meet her in he future".

"As long as I get to meet her again, I will wait for her and yes we will meet".

Philip said as he took a last look on his lover. Odin started fading together with the lady.

"Wait who are you?"

The lady smiled as if expecting that question.

"You have come face to face with the moon goddess".

Was her reply before she vanished.

Prince Philip woke up with a start

What kind of dream is that? What was the dying girl saying about the sacrifice? Who was she?

He thought.

He has has been dreaming before but never with a girl dying in his hands and he has promised her he would wait.

Although no denying, the lady looked so familiar to him as if he knew her from somewhere.

He was sure he had seen the face before, but where?

It clicked

He has to go back to Crescent Moon kingdom and looked for that beggar lady he saw when she ran into him. Her face looked like his Odin in his dream.

After coming out from the cave and went home, she didn't tell her grandmother anything.

She did her house chores, cooked, and went for a nap.

As soon as her eyes were closed she saw herself in a waterfall.

"Odin, what kept you for so long?" She turned to see the black wolf speaking to her.

"Excuse me, are you talk to me?"

"Yes, I am. Come on you know you can't hide away from the matters of this kingdom".

"Where are the rest wolves, the remaining four, where are they?" Odin asked.

"They are waiting outside, let's go, you know you today is the day you are going to be crown the Queen of all wolves", the black wolf said as they made their way out of the waterfall.

The scene changed and she saw herself facing a man with his back on her causing havoc to the people and blaming it on Odin and her Odinlete wolves.

The scene changed again and Odin saw herself being told to sacrifice herself for the good of the people, Odin rejected the idea and that caused great war.

The scene changed, Odin saw herself with the lady in white.

"Odin, your sacrifice shall be forgotten by the people but I won't. I will help you when it's time".

"But what of my wolves? Will they kill them?"

"They can't kill something that can't be kill. They had already sought out the help of Areola, with his help he will freeze them and put them where no one will ever see it". She replied.

Odin nodded in understanding.

"What of King Reed? They have confused the people I am evil with my wolves; what shall become of him?"

"Oh him, don't worry I have plans for him".

"What of my Phillip, what will become of him?"

"Philip will keep to his promise, he will wait for you. I will have to remove his memories for peace to reign. When the time comes he will surely have his revenge".

"But would he remember me when I am reborn? How would I know it's him since I will loose my memories?" Odin asked.

"That depends on heaven, trust in yourself and your love will draw you both together. No one must know you are my daughter".

The scene changed again and she saw herself dying in a young man arms.

She woke up and saw it was night already.

She knew the face of the young man holding her, but where?

She went outside and met her grandmother making soup for dinner.

After they had eaten, Odin told her about the dream

The old lady had a strange look on her face.

"I think it's time to tell you what really happened 90,000 years ago, but not from me". Her grandmother said all of a suddenly.

THE FORGOTTEN WOLF

Chapter 6

King Reed was aberrant of what he heard. It was absurd.

"B... but who could have released them? I was told they can't be released, so who has such powers to do so?" King Reed asked the high priestess acrid.

"Well it seems that someone released the wolves, I was shown a girl; although her face was covered, she was the one who released the wolves from their cage", the high priestess replies.

"But how? I was promised that they won't be released, I want to know who has the guts, who has such powers to release the Odinlete wolves".

"I was not shown her face but I think you should ask your former High priestess, she might know a thing or two and would solve this". The high priestess Luciana said.

"But could she be? I haven't set my eyes on her ever since that day, it has been so long I have heard from her. You of all people should know what had happened to the high priestess before you". King Reed said acrimonious.

"Only she can solve this mystery". Luciana told Reed.

"Even if I find her, would she help me after what I did to her 90,000 years ago. Anyway I will try to find her first". King Reed said  then turn and shouted "Guards".

The door to the throne room opened and two guards came in, bowing their heads.

"Announce to the whole kingdom that anyone who knows the whereabouts of Arizona, the former head priestess of Crescent should come; he or she will be rewarded".

"Yes my king", the two guards said and left the throne room to deliver the message around the kingdom.

"Now we only have to wait and pray to the moon goddess for someone to know her whereabouts". Luciana told the king.

Annabel was speechless and shocked, her mind racing like a hailstorm; Arizona again?

Erica and Eric were still kept in dark, they do not know who was Arizona neither do they know why their parents were shock earlier on when Luciana mentioned 'Evil Odinlete wolves'.

Odin and her grandmother journeyed that night to some unknown destination.

"Grandmother, where are you talking me too?" Odin asked for umpteenth time since they began the journey. But as usual the old Lady gave Odin her normal reply.

"Don't worry Odin we would soon reach where I want to take you too".

They came upon a clearing and the old woman bent down looking for something.

"Where is it? It has to been here somewhere", the old lady whispered to Odin's hearing.

'Ehmm, black wolf, do you think she wants to harm me? I am scared you know' Odin thought.

The reply came sooner.

'No, there is someone who she wants you to meet. You have met this person in your past' the black wolf answered.

'Past? Do you mean to tell me that, my dream was real, that I died and I was reborn?'

'Oops, didn't mean to say that, got to go'.

'Black wolf'

No answer.

She was brought back to earth when her grandmother said

"Yes I have seen the key".

Odin turned and saw her grandmother lifting up an ancient key up in cool night air to examine it. She wore a smile and turned back, placed one of her hands in the air and started moving it.

"What are you doing grandma", Odin asked, confused by her gesture.

"Shhhh, be quite and let me concentrate in find the invisible door of Ancient". Was the old woman's reply and she felt the air.

All of a suddenly, she smiled and put the key in an invisible lock. A door suddenly appeared before the eyes of Odin.

The old lady turned and face Odin.

"There is someone who wishes to meet you. My job is done here Odin". The old lady said and gesture for Odin to enter the door.

"Who wants to see me? Do I know this person?"

"I cannot say Odin, enter the door and find out the reason why I you have never step your foot outside the house you lived, why you were meant to be alive from the beginning of time".

Still not understanding the old woman, she walked towards the door and entered.

'Once you are in, close your eyes and say, ahy eyl ghy dyi, open your eyes and see your answers' the old lady voice echos around her as the door was firmly shut, putting her in darkness.

She did as she was told and when she opened her eyes once again, she gasp out.

She was back again at the waterfall, the same one she had seen her dreams.

Why was she here again?

"For you to know of your past. I am the one that you want to see" A lady's voice replied her thought.

Odin quickly turned and saw a lady, a beautiful young woman; but her eyes seems old.

"And who are you if I may ask", somehow she was afraid of the lady. The lady look familiar to her as if they had met before, the question was out of her mouth before she stops herself "Sorry but have we met before, you look so familiar".

The lady laughed, even her laugh rings bells in Odin's ear.

"My name is Arizona and yes we have met before Odin".

THE FORGOTTEN WOLF

Chapter 7

Prince Philip made his way outside the outskirt of the palace walls to visit a friend of his.

Someone who could tell him the meaning of his dreams.

He went into the village; no one paid him attention because he was in disguise. No one knows their king was in their presence.

He came to a halt when he saw who he was looking for, he went straight to greet the village washerman, Ben.

Ben was surprised to see Prince Philip, he was used to his disguise by now but was still surprised to see him.

"What is it my prince", Ben whispered quietly.

"Can we talk in a more private place, its important".

Ben gestured for the Prince to follow him in the inner most chambers of where he washes the villagers clothes, having making sure they were alone he asked the Prince again.

"What is it my Prince?"

"I have been having some strange nightmares lately".

"What nightmares my Prince?" Ben asked softly.

"A girl, I think we are lovers. I saw her dying in my arms and I saw myself promising the girl to wait for her. I saw a war, I think. Look, Ben, you have gifts of interpretation of dreams that was why I sought you out, to help me interpret this strange dreams I keep on having every night". Prince Philip told Ben.

"Okay, stretch your palms to me",

The Prince did as he was told, Ben peer down into his arms, his forehead wrinkle in concentration. After a while he stare at the Prince his eyes and balls now violet.

"Someone blocked your memories, whoever did this I think was trying to protect you. Go and ask your father, he knows more. There is a story behind your dreams".

"I don't get you, speak more clearing".

"Your dreams and your past are connected, the bond between you and the girl you saw in your dreams are stronger and can never be broken; I think, perhaps, you might have met with her previously because she has been reborn; maybe that is why you keep on those dreams".

"You are somewhat right, I think I met someone who looks exactly like the girl in my dreams, when I was in Crescent kingdom in my disguise".

"The answers you seek are within you, ask your father". His eyes went back to his normal gray eyes.

"Thank you Ben, I owe you one". Prince Philip thanked the young man again and left for his palace.

He was going to have a word with his father.

The old man better tell him the truth.

Queen Annabel was not at peace, she was pacing round her room. After the high priestess left, she quickly excuse herself and left for her chambers.

'If Arizona is back won't old feelings re surface again after so many years?'

Annabel thought to herself.

No something must be done.

She has to visit them again for a much stronger magic to keep the king from knowing his mate.

"All these years I thought the stupid wolf was dead, why would the high priestess opened an old wound again?" Annabel asked no one in particular.

She has to stop Arizona, she has to kill the wolf once and for all.

She was to rule all kingdom like she was promised.

She had used magic on the king to wage a war 90,000 years ago. She had made sure Odin was killed.

But what baffles her was Arizona.

How did she escaped from the claws of death?

Would the king remembered his true mate?

No everything must be the way it was supposed too.

She will kill anything that stands in her way.

No one knows the real her.

"Black shadow",

A shadow was seen in the wall.

"Kill the two guards sent to announce the message. After that come back, you have a message to take for me to the Elite sisters".

The black shadow disappeared.

Queen Annabel smiled evily.

Her plans will work again, since she had killed the one to end her 90,000 years ago.

"What!?"

Arizona smiled again.

"Yes, I know you. In your past life, we were enemies; but I have now know better and seen the truth Odin". Arizona said.

"You speak in riddles, I still don't get a thing you said Arizona and what truth are you speaking of?", Odin asked.

"Do you want to know, why you were kept hidden from the world by Chloe(Odin grandmother)? Do you want to know the reason why you have that dream?"

With Odin nodding of head in confusion, Arizona proceeded

"Well, it all began 90,000 years ago. You and your half brother Reed love and cherished each other.. well, until the kingdom was paid a visit by the Elite sisters".

90,000 Years Ago

Odin was in her garden, tending her flowers when her brother rushed to meet her, he was happy.

"You can't guess what happened today my dear Odin", the prince said elated as he stare at his sister.

Odin gave out a smile, "Out with it already Reed, you know am not that good in guessing. So what happened?"

"I think I have found my mate my dear Odin",

Odin smiled lovely at her brother "Wonderful, so who could she be? Do I even know her? Is she from this kingdom?" Odin asked

"Yes, you know her. My wolf has been going crazy ever since I met her, she is so beautiful", Reed said dreaming.

"So who is she, tell me, I am impatient", Odin said suddenly curious.

"Well, it's no other than the head priestess, Arizona".

The smile in Odin face faded away, the flower in her hand slowly died as she stare at her brother.

"What!!?"

Surprised by her outburst but still continued. "She is so beautiful, you know the head priestess steps out from her house, once every twenty years, I did not even know we have such women as beautiful as her here", Reed said smiling, not minding the look Odin was throwing at him.

"Of all the people in this planet, why her? You know very well, she was the one telling the whole kingdom how cruel I am and evil. People are afraid to near me just because of the fear she had placed on them. I won't allow you marry her. My word is final".

Odin said and left the garden and went to her chambers.

"She doesn't mean harm". The white wolf said as he appeared.

"Who told you, she is the person spreading what is not true about me".

"You never can tell, things might be hidden beneath the shadows". The black wolf said as he appeared.

"Whatever",

A knock prevented them continuing their conversations.

"Yes, who is it?"

"Your highness, the Elite sisters are here to pay homage to you", a guard answered.

"Elite sisters, what are they doing here uninvited?" Odin whispered to herself.

"Tell them I am coming", Odin replied as the guard left to give out the message.

"I wonder what they are doing here", the yellow wolf said.

"Homage under my foot", Blue wolf said.

"I don't trust them a bit Odin, please be careful with them; you know they are into witchcraft?" The red wolf said.

"You wolves worry too much, the Elite sisters are good people".

The Odinlete wolves snorted, not agreeing with her.

"Well, I will be right back my dear wolves", Odin told them and left them.

Odin met with the four Elite sisters, Liva, Olivia, Ara and Annabel.

"What a pleasant surprise to have the Elite sisters in my kingdom", Odin said as soon as they sat down.

"We were not present on the day of your coronation, so we decided to to visit you today to congratulate you"  Liva, the eldest of them said.

Odin smiled, "Well that is very kind of you, I am glad you came after all",

'Lies, can't you see that she is lying, I can feel it'

The red wolf said in Odin's mind, Odin simply ignored her and continued her conversation with them.

Later on, she called one of the guards to take them to the guest room prepared for them.

"Didn't I tell you that they mean no mean, you wolves are judgemental towards them", Odin said to her wolves as she stepped into her chambers.

"You are making a grave mistake by allowing them pass a night in your kingdom Odin, a grave mistake". The black wolf said all Of a suddenly.

"Whatever, they are too kind and funny to be evil, leave that for Arizona; she is the evil one. Good night my dear wolves, tomorrow is my date with my Prince charming".

Odin told the wolves yawning in process. She slept off.

Back in the chamber the Elite sisters were, Liva, Olivia, Ara and Annabel were sitting in a circle form, black candle burning in their midst.

"You know what to do, Annabel, once the prince sees you, he would forget about anything else and do what you tell him to do". Olivia told their youngest sisters.

Annabel nodded.

"I know sisters".

Liva started making some incantations. A ghostly form came out right from the black candle.

"You know what to do" Liva said to the ghostly form as it disappeared into the night.

Early that morning, the people had gathered and were lead by the high priestess Arizona to the castle, shouting .

"We must kill the witch. She must die".

Odin came out of the balcony of the castle building and stare at the people below, her eyes hardened when she saw Arizona.

Where was her brother? Since that morning when Odin had opened her eyes, took her bath and ate her food, her eyes have been searching for her brother.

But for now let her focus on the matter at hand.

"Good Morning great people of this kingdom, to what do I own this august visit?"

"Keep your greetings to yourself witch" an old man barked

"Your cups are full". A pregnant woman said.

"Today, will be the end of you". Another old man said.

Odin confused "What is going on? Why all this names?"

"Yesterday night, you came into my farm and destroyed my corps and animals. What did I did to you witch?" A man said, Crying.

"What? I did not go outside yesterday eve".

One by one the villagers came out to tell Odin what she has done.

"But I wasn't outside.."

"Lies, you are lying; then explain how those villagers saw you? You are the only wolf who has white hair". Arizona said.

"I don't want to argue with what I know I did not do, I will surely get to the bottom of this, that's a promise". Odin said and left the balcony, angrily.

The sky changed.

'Control your anger Odin, if you do not those villagers would believe what they had seen and said are true', the yellow wolf said in Odin's mind.

Odin calm down at those words.

'Thanks'.

Odin didn't know things are going to get worse than that.

After the villagers went their various homes, wishing that Odin die a horrible death.

The fake Arizona smiled evily as went home, when she was sure she was alone, she changed back to Ara and disappeared.

Prince Philip made his way home after he had met with the village washer man.

As soon as he got home he went straight to meet his father in his throne room, the father was with their general, Leo, discussing the affairs of the kingdom.

"Father, I would like to speak with you privately", Philip said immediately he sighted his father. King Alexander seeing the serious look on his son face, told general Leo to excuse them. When Leo left them, he turned to face his son and asked him.

"What is it son? I don't like the look on your face".

"I know", Prince Philip said simply.

"You know? Oh, you mean you know of your arrange marriage I and the king of Crescent Moon kingdom are making between his beautiful daughter, Princess Erica and you? I was going to inform you soon son, when you are not always disappearing everyday from the castle", King Alexander said in flow.

"What I want to know is for you to tell me about my past and who removed my memories of my past life. I need to know....."

The full statement of what his father said processed into his head.

Prince Philip was speechless and shocked.

"What!!?" He thundered.

"I know you are surprised by this, but it is for your own good Philip, I want to put the end of the endless fight these two kingdom are always fond of having, and the only way to end it is by marriage". King Alexander said causally as if it was simple, trying to made his son forget the question he just asked.

Who had told him he has a past?

Prince Philip breathing through his nose slowly as he said.

"Marriage you say? Marriage my foot. I will not get married to a mannerless girl who calls herself a Princess, if you know what is good for you or for this kingdom you'd better tell them I won't get married to Erica".

"My son, you have to see reasons to this, Princess Erica is good for you. She is beautiful, kind and a well behaved lady who would make you happy". King Alexander said smiling at his son.

"And like I have always told you or anyone who cares to listen, I will not get married to anyone who is not Odin". Prince Philip said not knowing how the words slipped out from his.

He looked surprise and so was his father. But his father, has a look of fear in his eyes which was unlike him

"Odin? Who told you that name?"

"I know who she is father, which brings us to the matter at hand, Who is Odin and what was she to me?"

"I don't know what you are talking about?" King Alexander lied through his teeth.

"DO NOT LIE TO ME", Prince Philip shouted bellicosity, thunder was heard outside. For a moment he saw fear in his father eyes.

"Like I told you I don't know what you are saying son, I don't even know who is Odin".

Prince calm down and turned to go then pause.

"If I eventually find out you know and you are hiding the truth form me, I will cause a great havoc in your kingdom and that of Crescent's". He said calmly and walked out of the throne room leaving his father to his thought.

King Alexander was greatly troubled. If his son eventually find out the truth like he said he would, then everything they had worked for will be gone in a blink of an eye.

No, he cannot let that happened.

He left the the throne room and went to his chamber. As soon as he got in, he fasten the door and locked it securely.

Then he went to his closest, opened it and  pushed out his clothes to reveal a door. He said some magic words and it opened.

He went inside the secret door, and looked at the only occupant in it.

A beast.

White, huge, hairy with horns that adorned its forehead, he has wings but his eyes were that of rainbow color. The Beast was chained with a razor blade chained, on its neck was a black chain; all over his body were chains of different magic that were made not to free him no matter how he pulled.

The Beast saw the king and laughed softly.

"What brings you here Alexander?" He asked.

"What did you do to my son? He asked me of Odin today", the king asked.

"Your son? I once told you Alexander, a day is coming when I will be free from this bondage and unite with my real body. When he remembers all, I will be free. I told you Alexander, my Odin will be back and when I finally unite with her, I will make you pay Alexander that is a promise".

"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you and Philip".

"No, you don't hate us, you only hate the fact that we don't follow your rules Alexander. You can't keep me bound here forever, I am Philip as he is me. We are one, and you Alexander can't change it. I have know when Odin was born, felt the pains she has passed through, once Philip remembers, I am out of here; isn't that the only way to break this magic?". The Beast said smirking.q

"Gloat all you want Philip, but I can assure you, I will win over you again".

"Like you did to me 90,000 years ago? I doubt it Alexander. You seems to have forgotten so soon, that my Odin has been re born again".

"Re born?" Alexander asked suddenly surprised.

"Beat me".

King Alexander left the room angrily.

"It is our destiny Alexander and no one can change that",

The beast voice said as he locked the secret door with magic, no matter how much noise the beast made; no one can hear him.

The Beast and Philip were connected that was why it had lived through those years.

It takes only strong dark magic to separate Philip and his breast from his body. The Beast hold all memories of their past.

And if Philip eventually remembers then he will have his memories back.

"What am I going to do?" Alexander asked no one in particular. "I can't see everything I have worked for all these years disappeared with a flip of a hand".

Should he call the witch again?

Erica was in her brother room, Eric was pacing around.

"There is something they are not telling us Erica, I can feel it".

"Me too Eric, but they do not want to tell us what is really going on", then gasped Did you see the look on mother, when the high priestess made mention of someone Arizona?" Erica suddenly asked.

"Yes I noticed, something within me tells me that there is more, something ancient that they are hiding and I am going to find out whatever it is". Eric said

"Me too brother".

King Reed has been pacing around his throne room after the priestess left them, his wife with an excuse left them followed by his children, but that was not the case. His wonder was,

Who was the girl that had released the evil Odinlete wolves?

Annabel was still in her room when the black shadow came again.

"Very good of you black shadow, you did well, now go and tell my sisters that a war will begin soon. Tell them Arizona isn't dead, they should find out where she is and kill her once and for all".

The black shadow vanished leaving Annabel to herself.
