42 Chapter 42



"Robin, Owen are you ok?"

I sit on the ground next to them looking in the direction they are looking. Feeling the small water droplets splashing onto my face as the golden glow of the sun wash over me.

"Ian...We...I do not know what to say to that."

Owen speaks to me sighing after he finished his sentence. The somber atmosphere of the pair loomed over. I glance over towards the two and I could see Robin curling up into a ball placing her head between her thighs while Owen grabs onto her shoulder holding her tightly. I could see their bloodshot eyes and could hear the occasional sniffle.

"Oscar...Oscar was a great son. More than a father could ever ask for. He was scared of a lot of things. Moving into the wilderness was not easy and he was scared of almost everything around him. However, after coming here I could see him change. He was happy in a different way. He made a friend. He ran around. He played an important role in an attack. He...He...He was my son."

Owen started to choke up near the end as tears rolled down his face. He looked up into the sky and let the waterworks flow crying out loudly. Robin let out all her pretenses clinging onto Owen tightly as she cried into his chest.

I look up into the sky but my vision started to blur. Tears well up in my eyes and once I closed them the tears kept coming out. I cried alongside the pair letting out all my emotions. I could only feel the tight grip around my chest.

.....

"Ian. I want to thank you for allowing us to live here. I know I said this before but even if it was short I could see my son have a happy life."

Robin approached me soon after the sun had fallen. I had cried next to them, alongside them before entering a state of emptiness. I could only hear the sound of the waterfall and could only see the sun falling below the horizon. It felt like I had emptied my mind and soul and just embraced the environment around me shutting out everything else.

"Robin, it's fine. Thank you for being here. How about we all go up and eat some dinner?"

She nodded and helped Owen up before walking up the path. I followed them slowly. My mind was still thinking about what would happen the next time a fearsome enemy appears. What if they appeared at HavenFall? What would happen to everyone? Would we even survive if a monster like the Blood Ogre appeared?

Everyone was already gathered by the fire leaving just the three of us coming last.

"Come eat Robin, Owen and Ian. It's a nice warm hearty soup."

"Thanks, Lucina."

The meal was eaten quietly with the sounds of slurping and sipping filling the atmosphere.

"Robin, Owen. Old man Hus, David and I made something for the two of you."

Lucina went to the mud house and came back out with a small block of wood. On the wood, carved out nicely was a small portrait of Oscar. A little rough around the edges but if one was to look at it they would recognize the cowardly energetic young man.

"We hope you like it. Tomorrow when the sun rises we were hoping to do a small prayer by the Ariel Statue. To pray for Oscar's safe ascent."

"Thank you. Thank you, everyone."

Owen bursts into another crying fit. Lucina walked over and hugged both the crying Owen and Robin.

"It will be ok. We are all here for you."

Bit by bit, Howard, David, old man Hus, Gobi and Luke went over and hug them forming a big ball of people. A warm sight of the community helping each other, loving each other.

After a long hug, everyone slowly packed away their things and went to rest for the night. I pulled Luke to the side and asked him where we should let the wolves rest. After a brief communication with the female wolves, they went to search for a location. Running around HavenFall and then down towards the canyon. Surprising, there was a small gap behind the waterfall. Neither Luke nor I knew about this and we followed one of the female wolves into this gap. The rest of the wolves followed behind us closely. The gap was small only able to fit one maybe two people side by side but enough for the wolves to walk through casually.

Darkness was all that greeted us for about twenty steps until the walls started to widen and there was a soft blue light coming in front of us.

"Wow."

A single word came out of Luke's mouth while mine was speechless. Like someone had pierced through the mountain straight down without moving slightly to the left or right. A perfectly carved out hole straight to the top where the moon was looking down on us. The first female wolf stood in the middle closing her eyes and embracing the moonlight. Her fur glitters and glows. The 'room' or 'hole' or whatever you want to call it was outstanding. A perfect hideaway. I take out the wolf den core and move towards the middle of the room. The wolf sensing my movement opens her eyes and moves away making a small noise to the rest of her kin to move into the room. The wolves sit along the edges of the room while Luke stands at the entrance. I place the core into the ground pressing slightly allowing the fang to dig into the ground a bit.

Once I let go of the fang, it starts to radiate a soft golden glow, pulsating brighter and brighter. The golden wolves all bring their head upwards, howling to the moon. The moon responds back to them illuminating the room with a silver light.

Once the howling ended the light from the moon and the fang disappears. The wolves lay down on their bellies and fall asleep. I touch the core and I see the familiar blue screen.

[ Golden Wolf Den Core

The core of the golden wolves, blessed by the moon it has a chance of spawning a Silver Moon Wolf.

1 Golden Wolf / 5 Day ( No Limit )

Cannot be removed. ]

I walk out of the wolf den with Luke and the both of us were tired and exhausted. Agreeing to rest up we return to the mudhouse and retire for the night.
