Lone Wolf

Village attacked

By Zachary Furr

Smoke ran rampant throughout the forest. It was a smell that He was all too familiar with. Fire lit up the night sky. It raised its arms high to the heavens as if telling the moon and the stars that they were not good enough. The Wolf streaked toward the danger to see if He could stop the cause. He came to a clearing and a village of men was the cause to the blaze. Their dwellings burned, big and burly were attack the weaker and smaller ones. The whole of the clearing was illuminated by the burn. And so, the Wolf could be seen in the light. and it seemed that the attackers stopped for and moment out of fear and the victims pleaded with their eyes and cries of pain. The Wolf cared not for the troubles of man, He did care for the trouble the forest was in. And so, the wicked men had to be dealt with. The Wolf’s growl reverberated off of mountains and throughout the valleys. The men rallied around one particular man, one larger than the rest, he was shouting orders of what to do and ordered his men into formation. The flames began to branch out from the house and into the streets. The Wolf streaked across the gap that separated Him from them. He was no ordinary run of the pack wolf though.

He was The Wolf, the one mentioned in so many fairy tales. These men, these villains, killed others, and were starting to encircle the Wolf. Their spears, torches and swords they were afraid. The shadows of the flames played to Wolf’s advantage. Their fear ran rampant and the Wolf darted forward and struck at the leader first, quick and fast like lightning, he moved and the leader fell. Fear ran rampant through their lines. The smell and sight only enticed the Wolf to go further. He vanquished the villains and the villagers feared him; except one small girl. After all was said and done and over with, The small girl went up to the giant canine and thanked him for His deed of saving their lives. The glow of the fire still burned bright and hot, the Wolf blew and the fire dissipated to nothing. The Wolf went away as the villagers’ sight adjusted to the darkness.
