Every Life I Save This Night

I know this one. Yes, yes. I�ve been warning wolves away from her pack from the moment she ascended her throne. Perhaps it is not as effective as unleashing my full wrath against her in a glorious battle of good and evil, yet heroes are not always the most obvious and others still hold the right to make decisions all their own. No, I have sat silently, spoken softly and recommended other places to the new wolves of Moladion, trying to steer them from the path of Iromar and the very female before me. I remained where I was, eyes of dark chocolate watching from my place within the shadows. I do not usually appear within the day any longer, that is to obvious, to noticeable and allows others to remember me to well. No, I have become the guardian of the night, the shield in the dark and the sword for those who cannot defend themselves and today I would be content just to watch the white women, to see truly who and what she was when not surrounded by her pack of hungry followers. Yet, it would seem fate has other plans these day, for another arrives, a female of a nature so obviously jovial that she can be in nothing but danger before the wild white queen with her violet eyes. I had once believed such pelts to bring peace and prosperity, the only other wolf of snow and lilac had bravely fought against Abraxus at my side for the return of Illuminada. I hadn�t forgotten Heyel, perhaps one day I would repay the favour. As Moladions resident Robin Hood I could well do a kindness for he or his family for the one they did me so long ago.

I had no wish to think of Illuminada now however, thoughts of the silver female turned from my mind as I raised myself to my small paws, limbs neat and fast, built entirely for speed on this earth as I slide smoothly from the shadows to circle wide around the pair, watching the grey female as she pranced and attempted to engage Ruvindra, for that I know to be her name, in a game of sorts as my eyes narrowed in suspicion. I could no longer be content to watch from the shadows and trees of the forest I loved, no, I had to be ready to come to the aid of the merry female in any moment of time and yet- I did not truly have to reveal who I was, what my mission in this life was, to defend those who could not, to show wolves that honour was no longer dead. Perhaps I cannot do much, one male against the world, perhaps they will never sing tales of my grandeur, for never have I worn a crown upon my head- but someone, somewhere, will remember me and that will be enough. Someone will return to their pups or mate or home because I had watched over them, protected them when they could not protect themselves and that is all the thanks I need. So today I will watch-over the grey female and neither will ever need know I did such a thing.

I allowed a smile to touch my lips as I strode forward, gliding swift and smooth across the earth and towards the pair, eyes gleaming all I could from the white female, watching, remembering how she sat and moved while never allowing my gentle grin to waver. The mind is a marvellous thing indeed, one can never truly know what goes on within it and my thoughts are my own. Ruvindra never need know of the work I do against any wolves of her ilk. She need only see the lightly built stranger that I am, underestimate my muscle and speed, see me as a friendly passerby and no. She will never be any the wiser and should she ever hear tales of the masked avenger, the swift warrior of the forest who fights for honour long forgotten- she will never remember me and that is how I want it. I gave my tail a wave as I approached, jaws parting to allow my tongue to loll forward in good nature towards both female before I moved to sit to the side, just a little away, giving them both space as if I merely wished to enjoy their company for a little time before speaking.

�That looks a lovely game. Maybe you can show me how you play it�

I offered to the jovial one, another grin marking my features as I looked towards her, warming my back in the sun. Ah, the little grey one would never know the true danger she was in, nor would she ever know that I had come to watch over her this day, to sit and be present, to smile and care when others did not. Perhaps nothing would have happened, perhaps it still will. Yet today would be the day I guarded her, this stranger- for no other reason than because I could. She never need know. Heroes don�t need rewards. I am simply here for those who need me and when they do not, I will continue on my way. Rainbow would be safe tonight.
