Eon's Story: chapter three
Today was it, Eon had left the orphanage. Speaking to no one he'd run north, following the footsteps that were 17 years old. Today Eon would be following the past to unearth his own. Holding a compus in one paw he'd keep north, there was a town, a small one. but every tree and bush looked the same, the only thing telling Eon he wasn't running in circles was his compus. But even that scared him, it was shaking a lot. But where the sun would hit noon is when Eon woudl arive at the town, a scarf around his neck he'd see the town only had a post office, a bar, and a hotel. Eon would look and look threw the buildings, but this town was empty. Eon woudl go to the hotel, and to the front desk looking on the yellowing pages for the last person to check out. it had no name, but the date was exactally 17 year prior to today. in room 313. Eon woudl carefully climb the rotting stairs, this building was much older then 17 years, but Eon didn't bother checking the other dates. He'd come up tot he room and open the door. to find an empty room, but in the middle of the floor a piece of paper that was still white.
Dear Eon,
If you're reading this, it's because you've finally wanted to find us. We don't know how or why, but if you do want to find us you need to follow our directions exactly. But first, You're name is Eon Kokoro Snowpaw, you are the pup of me, Skylar Valor Snowpaw, and Mariah LeAnne Snowpaw. Now you need to get to Alaska's capitol, Juneau. Go to the glaciers.
Good luck pup,
Skylar
?
Eon would read the letter over and over, shaking and falling to his knees tears in his eyes. He had parents, and they knew he'd search for them. Eon looks up as he'd fold the letter carefully and stick it in his backpack. Walking back down the stairs to look for a map. thankfully there was one on the wall. He'd find where he was, and compared to Juneau. It would take a few days on foot, but Eon had no other choice and headed out back into the woods.
Walking now, the cold not bothering him too much do to his fur, but Eon would keep walking. Hours would pass before Eon woudl stop, sitting at the base of a tree, his stomach growling from hunger, "I... can't believe I forgot about food... what an idiot..." Eon woudl talk to himself as snow began to fall he'd just close his eyes and wait for the feeling of hunger to fade.
"Hey... pup what are you doing?" A voice would cut threw the silence. Eon would open his eyes and look up, infront of him in the snow he'd see a black wolf. Surprised to find a wold like him somewhere like this, his fur stuck out easily against the whitening forrest. The wolf's eyes where deep red, that shined like the moon, he was 6 feet tall or so. The wolf was completely bare, no covering or anything, just like a feral. He was like Eon, they walked on two legs, "Hm... you wear clothes like humans... must be a pet, if not just a domesticated fur..."
"I-I"m hungry... and yes... I've grown up around humans..." Eon would pant the hunger in his stomach not going away. But he'd sort of struggle, mentally screaming at himself, 'Look UP! not down! No not at his chest up higher at his muzzle and LEAST!'
"Right... well if you're hungry... you'll follow me..." The wolf would say simply and turn walking away from Eon. The Black wolf's figure clearly standing out as he'd walk away snow gathering on his head and shoulders. Eon woudl hurry to his feet and follow stuffing his compus into his pocket, The wolf's ears woudl perk to Eon as he'd approch. Sighing as he'd walk up to this little cave he'd duck and walk in, Eon following close behind. Looking around he'd see a little set up a nice campfire, with something cooking over it, and a pile of pelts, most likely from his hunts. Eon could count one or two fox furs in the pile and his ears would bend back, "I hope you're up for rabbit, I got two over the fire."
"S-sure... " Eon would manage to get out of his muzzle, sighing as he'd look out to the forrest. The setting was getting dark, Eon didn't know that it was already getting late, and he'd be a little thankfull this wolf found him, but what was going to happen next is what worried him. But before he new it the wolf and him where sitting infront of the fire, side-by-side, eating the two rabbits he cooked. Awkward silence finally cutting in, Eon wodul lok into the fire and realize, he's eating dinner with a hunter, a buff, tall, naked wolf. Eon didn't even know this male's name.
"Where are you headed? and Why?" The wolf would just cut into the silence, talking as if nothing mattered.
"Escuse me?" Eon woudl blink and look to the wolf.
"Where are you headed?...And why?..." The wolf would speak slower to Eon looking down at him as if he was something different.
"I'm not telling you until I know more about you, if not JUST your name. And don't talk down to me link that."
"Why should I tell you anything halfbreed? I'm not the one walking threw the woods like a blind man."
"Don't call me that!" Eon woudl snap standing up. looking at the wolf, "I am NOTHING less then you are! 'Oh look at me I'm a big strong black wolf I don't have a care in the world because I always get my catch and my fur may stick out but I don't have any fear!'" Eon would mock the wolf, his ears bend back as he'd continue, "'Speaking of no fear I don't even care if anyone sees my JUNK because I"m so-"
"Shut up pup, before you get in deeper sludge then your asking for." the Wolf woudl suddenly but up on his feet holding Eon up by his collar, growling with teeth bared. Eon would have his ears back still holding onto the wolf's fist that would hanging onto his cloths. For a second the wolf would just hold him there, and Eon could see his eyes spark, an Idea came to the wolf and he'd pin Eon down and rip off his clothes, tossing Eon's backpack to the side of the cave. Eon woudl yelp and struggle but before he knew it he'd be thrown out into the cold wintery night, "You'd better find something pup or you're not comming back in!"
"Wh-what about my clothes?!" Eon would whine, looking pathetic and helpless. But his jaw would drop as the wolf would toss his pants, underwear, shirt, and scarf in the fire. Eon would just stand in the snow, bare as the day he was born before turning tail and going into the woods. His eyes would struggle looking threw the snow, despratly looking for a smaller animal. Eventually Eon's legs would move on their own, his eyes growing sharper in the snow, his feral instincts kicking in, quickly scanning the area as he'd move. Suddenly the bushes to his left would move, and he'd stop dead in his tracks, sniffing the air. glaring at the bush. Suddenly a white rabbit woudl make a run for it, and Eonm woudl chase, his speed of being a fusky helping his agility and him being light on his feet helping catch the rabbit without a problem. and the next thing Eon knew he was walking back to the cave where the wolf had waited for him, stuffing a peice of paper back in Eon's backpack. He had read the letter, but he's smile and nod to Eon as he'd hold out the dead rabbit.
"Very good, looks like we've got breakfast."
"I saw you reading my letter..." Eon would sit down, being bare no longer bothering him.
"Yeah I was... Sorry Eon I sort of went their your stuff when you where gone... I like you're name by the way... Eon Kokoro Snowpaw... it fits." The wolf would nod.
"It's fine..." Eon woudl sigh looking into the fire.
Smiling the wolf woudl gentally take Eon's paw and take him over to the pile of pelts, and he'd get Eon to lay down on them, before laying down behind the fusky, spooning with him. Eon woudl murr a little at the feeling of the wolf's warm body, as they'd heat each other, the wolf would speek again as the fire woudl start to dim as if it could sence the setting was met to become calm, "Lumen."
"Huh?"
"That's my name... Lumen Moonshadow."
