Calming the War
A short work to set the stage for a whole new world to explore.
"Mother I'm not ready to go to bed." The young wolf pup said, "I want to stay up and see if we win!"
"It's late enough and now time for you to sleep my child." The mother held her pup in a protective embrace.
She laid him in bed and tucked him in. She tickled him and he laughed with a smile. The mother returned a smile most caring and sincere.
"Can you sing me the song for you leave mother?" the pup asked.
"Well I don't know. The moon is quite high in the sky." She replied. Her ears went up as she heard a distant thunder.
"Please oh please mother!?" the pup asked eager, "I love it when you sing the song to me. It helps me sleep."
"Oh alright. Then is to the realm of dreams for you." Mother replied. Seeing fear in the pups eyes.
The pup snuggled close to his mother's warm body. Then she sing the song that all knew
"Do you remember the tales once told? The stories of Anthrexians both young and old.
For an epic story is due to unfold
Do you recall our ancient home? A planet far away and alone
A rebellion began truth be told
To bring an end to a time-strung rule. Bring power to all. Even a fool.
An alliance formed brought all together. Even if not meant to be forever
Canine, Feline, Bat, and Bear
All marched under one banner with no heir
An idea so strong to bring to an end. Freedom from tyranny of a corrupt kingdom
Many years the war was fought. Countless lives lost
Until the rebellion that was so true. Brought down by an internal few
Its leaders captured
Its armies scattered
A trail began for the surviving few to determine the fate of the planet
Marrok wolf of silver both wise and brave
Black and striped orange Adrian, tiger. Tall, most noble fighter
Ian great bear of power unmatched
Derion bat skillful in mind
All leaders of a rebellion doomed to die
Escape from Anthrexion their home world they did. Khan the fox managed this
Across the stars the Anthrexian's sailed. On board a star sailer by the name of Gale
Ready to face the unknowns not knowing if they would prevail
An anomaly in space the ship struck. Off course they were set, with ship damaged.
It would seem all were out of luck. A new world was found a new course was managed
All were changed by the anomaly in space. Even if not seen by face to face
To Earth they came in an ancient days
Separate they did to lay claim
A world of humanity was ripe to rule and maintain."
The mother looked upon her pup. She saw he was fast asleep. She blow out the candle and closed the door. She gazed out the window of her home she saw the horrors of war. An uprising had begun between werewolves and Anthrexians. The Anthrexian wolf capital city was now under siege by the very werewolves they created.
