I ran. I just ran. Away from everything I'd ever known and loved. My howl still carried on the wind and once I regained my senses I knew I had to leave. There was nothing I could do now, I had to return to my human form so I stopped in the middle of a clearing and willed the change but....... I couldn't! For a moment I thought it was all a dream but then the truth hit me. Loosing myself in the death rage had destroyed the human reaches of my soul.
Just before I plunged into madness a glimmer of hope slid into me, like a gleam of moonlight into a forboding forest; if I couldn't turn into my human form (or near-human for that matter) I wouldn't be hunted. I could live the rest of my life as a wolf, with the intelligence of a human and the powers of my clan. Looking back towards my, now desimated, home for the last time I lifted my muzzle into the air and released a farewell howl, tears drenching my face, then loped into the dark forest, leaving a trail of silver light that had appeared during my howl. Hoping to find a new life of safety; little did I know, then, how wrong I was....
