Guarders Of the Spirts
FYI this is the first three chapters, I'm always working on it! Here is the prolauge! ~Prologue~ There are dimmed lights, the floor rumbles, “we're under attack!”, cries an unfamiliar voice. Almost as if out of the blue, there was a silence, an eerie silence. The ground was completely still. Almost to still. Were they planning to surprise attack us as soon as we walked out the door? Or leave warnings in their path as they leave? It remained a mystery. We heard guns fire, then all of a sudden a woman came out, scooped me up, her hair was a brown that shimmered in the moonlight- it was long and a little past her shoulder, her hands were as warm as a wolf’s fur in the cold winter. She seemed normal but- she was wearing a necklace- a strange one, in fact, it had a pendant with a symbol of a wolf, bear, heron, mountain goat, and snow leopard. Who attacked? What did this mean? Why were the attackers here? Who attacked us? So many thoughts buzzed in my head. 2 years later… “Hi honey!” I heard my mom say- i was only 5 years old but that was enough to give out a feeling of me- my character in the world. I had long brown hair- just like my mom, and it had a few gold streaks here and there, my eyes were as green as a pine tree, I loved to adventure and I knew the woods pretty well.

Chapter 1
You can almost feel the rustle of the grass when you open your window, the warm breeze blows right over my face. My name is Sage Grifith I’m 15 years old and have one younger brother.It's wednesday, my least favorite day of the week, why you might ask? Well it's because of our region meeting, they have them every other week, and I have to come and “mingle” with everyone. This might not sound too bad but it is, trust me. Let me explain, I have to go because my mother is the region leader. She and lots of other leaders discuss the economy and how to stabilize it, and stuff like what the other regions are doing and when their next attack is. Luckily they have great food there. That reminds me to force myself out of my warm fleece bed covers, and go downstairs to get breakfast. As I make my way to the hallway I smell bacon, fresh from the wild boars. “Good morning honey!” hollers my dad from the kitchen. “Mornin’ dad.” I holler back. “Did you sleep ok?”dad asks. “Dad, you know my answer, no.” I explained as I entered the kitchen. “I always wake up in the middle of the night because of my “horrifying” nightmares.” “but i've learned to cope with them and just- ya know, i don’t know exactly what i do, but…” “anyways, we've gone over that soooo many times dad,”. “ hi hun!” I hear my mom yell from the front door. “ How was the hunt? Did you get anything good?” I accidentally blurted out “sorry im just really hungry,” I heard my stomach growl as loud as a lion. “ it's not a problem at all,” “come and make yourself some cereal, honey,” mom explains. I walk over to the kitchen and open the cabinet, to find an empty box of wheat-os with honey. “WILDER! YOU ATE ALL THE HONEY WHEAT-OS?!” I yell full of fury, “hm? Oops, well there down into my drain, ya shoulda’ woken up earlier .” he fights back. You little sneak wilder, now I have to go out and get some more, ugh.”Mom, I'm gonna’ go get some more honey wheat o-s from the market, do you want anything?” “Do we need any more snacks or coffee pods?” i suggest. “No, I think we just need some herbs, would you mind running down to your aunt's house and retrieving any?” my mom remarks. “No problem,” I reassured. I head out of my house, pick up my black, silk hood, it is a long and almost magical cloak, it's lined with gold ribbon, and flows down to my ankles. Last night i was so tired i didn’t even change into my pjs, so i didn’t have to or want to change into normal clothes. As I make my way toward the market I see a wolf, I see wolves a lot- there are practically the pine regions pets! But this one was different, it had something in its leg… oh no.., as i near it i realize what it is, it has an arrow in it leg. I pause coming to my senses and then realizing yet again, that's not one of our arrows, that's the maple regions arrows. It took me a second to figure out what I was seeing, they had been hunting in our territory?! Why? When? How? They were on the other side of aquafurye. Was this some kind of warning? I decided to ignore the fact that it was the maple regions’ arrow and walk over to help the wolf, it wasn't as bad as i pictured it- but it was still a horrible sit, luckily i hadn’t gotten far so, i tried to pick it up to bring it to my house-then it growled and showed its teeth, it tried to lunge at me and then realizing that it couldn't move and let out a yelp. “No! Buddy stay still!” I wrap my cloak around its leg. “It’s gonna be ok buddy,” I reassured. A few minutes later my dad and mom came out, I’m guessing my mom came out to investigate the arrow and dad- just to make me feel better, not promising anything.
