Bring On The Wonder

Ah! look at that, fitting into the roll of Auntie like she had been there all his life. Calling out for him to be careful as he climbed up the branch like he was born to it. He stuck his tongue out at her, but hunkered down to show he really was being careful. He didn’t want the wolves he loved in his life to worry.

When he settled into his singing, his eyes closed, he did not expect it to work. Like trees, birds had a mind of their own, and weren’t in the habit of following the bidding of wolves. When the forest filled with singing, his voice wobbled a little in unspoken laughter, and still he continued on. He remembered how, when Mal had taught him how to do this, the blackbirds had sung with them.

He startled a little when weight slightly rustled his brunch, and his eyes opened to find the owl before him. He dipped his head gently in respect to the creature, startled that it had come so close. Not for a moment did he think ‘lunch’ instead, he saw intelligence behind its eyes. Just like he dad Bast, the leopard that had been their nursemaid growing up.

“Oh brilliant owl” he whispered. “My friend thinks you are wonderful, won't you say hello to her? She has the spirit of the gentlest wolf in the land, and I think she would do well with a friend like you” he whispered softly to the owl. Not knowing if his words would be heard, or understood, but feeling that they were right regardless.
