Chapter 9 we need to talk - edit

"Because every inhabitant is different, their ideas aren't the same and even if Ego picks the ones that create a strong feeling of unity in a comunity they are all slightly different. So, when a God is born, it's just a mix of different thoughts, immages and meanings.

To reach stability the newborn God needs an anchor, it needs a Champion.

The Champion will sharpen the immage of the God. The moment a God forms a bond with it's Champion every inhabitant that helped its

inception will feel its presence then, the Champion will spread the word of God to the devouts."

-Bee May, the faery of knowledge

"Of Gods and Champions."

Little Wolf was estatic! He finally beat unfair Alfonse! He was a hunter now! He wanted to tell everyone! But father Sidon was outside with a hunter team and mother Fianna was probably busy with her Head Caretaker duty. So he decided to join his second favourite person, clumsy Annabelle, she was surely watching the small childs at this time. So he ran to the open space behind the caretakers longhouse. When he got there he saw that the brats were hounding his friend, he knew she was too gentle to keep the pack under control so, he inhaled and then started a low sharp whistle and kept whistling with increasing volume and intensity. Everyone in the vicinity stopped what they were doing to cover their ears and turned their attention to the cause of their pain.

Little Wolf started with a loud greeting, "hey brats! Did you forget what I told you before I left? I left to become the First Hunter and I chose the new leader of your sorry herd of hellions. So why every time I come back I see no respect for the leader?" His voice lowered with each word spoken and his eyes were cold.

The children took a collective step back, one of the bigger children took corage. He took a step forward, raised his head but faltered when he saw Little Wolf's visage, he whined,"but the snow is coming! When it starts snowing it doesen't stop for soo loooong, it's gonna be sooo booooring! We wanna play now! We wanna play so much that then we can be good boys inside the longhouses while the snow is falling!"

Little Wolf took the child in a headlock and started to rub his knuckles on its head, "I don't care what you wanna do! You must obey the leader! Or you pay for it!"

Annabelle as she came forward and freed the now crying child, "stop bullying the little ones!" She shouted.

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

The adult caretakers tried to not laught at the scene that happened basically every time the self-titled clumsy guardian came by. While the childred were happy to be protected, one child in particular was elated to be freed, one not so small anymore was dejected. "I'm not bullying anyone! I'm teaching them to respect strenght and respect the rules! If they don't learn respect when young they will get beaten! I'm the good guy here!" Little Wolf pout-shouted.

Annabelle was incensed,"what if they learn from you and start bullying the weak?"

The red headed hunter raised a finger, "well... The weak need to learn to respect the strong and the strong need to learn to respect the rules 'cause there is always someone stronger..."

"The strong need to protect the weak so they can become strong later!" Said Annabelle then continued, "what are you doing here? You should be training with the other hunter trainees! Did you ditch training again to come and play?"

Little Wolf's skin did not change color but he trembled a little and looked from side to side. "I-I-I'm not a child... I don't play anymore and I finally beat unfair Alfonse today! So I'm a hunter now!" The red head embarassed but finished proudly.

The childrens froze for a moment and then started whooping and jumping around complimenting their amazing leader, totally forghetting he's not the leader anymore or that he was bullying them just minutes before.

Annabelle touched his arm,"so you are leaving the village from now on." She said sadly.

He was really excited! "Yes! And I'll bring cool things from the outside to show you! And I'll tell you all of my adventures! And when I'm as strong as father Sidon I'll bring you out with me! Not earlier though... I need to protect you not put you in danger..." Little Wolf was exhilarated but when he noticed the sad look on clumsy Annabelle he changed where his talk was going and stole a smile from her face.

He made children sit around him in a circle, then the young hunter started telling them how crafty and sneaky unfair Alfonse was and how fair and heroic he was. Then Little Wolf started to explain his last duel, where he finally understood his enemy craftiness and used his speed to trick him into a bad position, it was getting to the good part when a horn sounded from the walls!

The caretakers took the children inside the longhouse and the hunters that were resting ran to the walls to see what was the emergency.

Robert was right in front of the gate when the hunters came in, all of them came in wounded and holding onto eachothers for support, a really tired looking but unhurt Sidon came in last.

What surprised the villagers the most was not the hurt hunters, not even the tired First Hunter. Even if that was a rare thing, the man was a monster and everyone knew it. No, what surprised them the most was how he came in. Sidon had his spear, the First Hunter spear firmly fixed on his back, and that's where the normalcy ended. His spear was on his back because his hands were busy, on his left side there was a resting bear cub on his shoulder, on his right arm there was a rope wrapped around, it ended with three nooses. Three dropper cubs were herded inside the village by Sidon.

The villagers that understood what beast Sidon bought inside their walls gasped and started screaming.

Sidon gave a tired look to the village chief, "we need to talk, call the council, all of it this time."
