Orphan to Orphan

Kichi had planned on getting to the pup’s level to not be intimidating but he hadn’t expected the boy to lay up against him.  The kid tells him how he would like his brother and Kichi hides a small smile.  If the kid knew how few wolves he liked he might not say it.  Still, this boy was innocent of causing the evils in this world.  

And before he could hear more from the child he’d ended up in the firefly man’s presence – and shortly after returned.  He imagined it more as he had probably closed his eyes but looking around the familiar landscape he saw the boy was no longer in sight.  Standing up he walked to the stone the kid had hidden beyond and peered around, “Hey, you alright?”

Kichi’s mind was distracted with part of it circling about what had happened and what it all meant.  He hadn’t been gifted with presents this time but the fellow had offered him a warning of the future with no real insight on what to do besides find strength.  Oh well, not much he could do of an unknown threat.  Kichi had always taken one day and problem at a time and that’s what he’d keep doing, “Ready to find your brother?”
