Already being heavily injured, the White Wolf started to feel drowsy. All he wanted to do was to cradle into the moon’s arms and sleep soundly. As minutes passed by his drowsiness got heavier. As his eyes were to close down he noticed that the rain had stopped falling. He knew that the rainy skies would clear up soon and that his darling moon would come out.
He thought to himself, “I cannot be late”. I need to see her. He started limping towards the cliff. He had only walked a few steps but due to sustaining heavy injuries a bone in one of his legs broke completely and he collapsed on the ground. His vision became blurry, but he knew that he could not fall down. He needed to see the moon. He needed to see her no matter what. There hadn’t been a single night where he had not seen the moon.
He barely balanced his heavily injured body, his 3 remaining good legs, and started to walk slowly. Because it was slippery and there was much mud, he continuously stopped and collapsed over and over again midway staining the path he walked with blood.
He kept thinking, “Just a little bit more, Just a little bit more and I can see her again.” This kept the wolf going all the way. Even after his body gave up, he dragged his body slowly with his hind legs.
He somehow managed to reach the cliff but then he realized he could not look up no matter how much he tried, His neck was injured, it's not allowing him to turn his head. After trying over and over, every last bit of energy he had left was exhausted and he collapsed near a pool of water created by the rain.
The Wolf tried hard to make his body turn, but his body refused to move. As the moon shined her light over the wolf to know about his condition, White Wolf had long turned into a bloody wolf with his fur color tainted red by blood. He looks to be just a step away from death.
As White Wolf tried to make his last ditched effort of raising his head, everything ended up as a futile effort but what happened next made him happy. The moon had acknowledged his efforts and came right next to him, Upon watching his darling moon in the puddle of water right next to him, the White Wolf closed his eyes and rested happily, cradled under the light of the moon.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Something unexpected happened at the next moment. The rainforest became concealed by a blanket of thick fog, The fireflies which were gone into hiding due to chaos came out, Luminous plans which were covered by blood were cleansed by the rain and were shining much more brightly than before. It was as if the rainforest had been born anew in its full glory.
The moon appeared to be five or ten times its actual size and a staircase started to appear from the moon all the way down to the cliff. A pure white girl shining brightly just like the moon starts to walk down the stairway towards the wolf. She was shining so brightly that none of her features were visible, but from her height, she appeared to be a 10-12-year-old.
Moon Girl approached the White Wolf and touched his blood-red fur, causing the White Wolf's body to glow and turn back into white color and soon White Wolf shrunk down to the size of a cub. Upon feeling the touch of someone, the wolf opened his eyes once again but only to realize that he had become smaller. However soon his attention was taken away by the moon girl standing right next to him. He became so happy that he started jumping around and started playing around her legs.
Meanwhile, while the White Wolfs pack was looking for injured wolves and bringing them to a safe place, they noticed a trail of blood and signs of a struggle to walk so they followed the trail and found the body of the white wolf, who was no longer white. They all surrounded his body and started howling.
The white wolf cub who was playing around the girl noticed the pack surrounding both sides of the stairway and howling as if wishing him good luck on his journey and the cub howled back in thanks and continued to play around the girl as she stroked his head and then started climbing the stairway to the moon.
It is said that on that day all the wolves around the world howled together towards the moon, and to this day people are unable to figure out the reason why wolves would howl towards the moon. Maybe only wolves know the real reason behind it.
