Crystals

0 INK

Animals all over have woken up with strange crystals that have given them human intelligence, the ability to stand on their hind legs, and thumbs. An evil wolf wants to harness their power to rule the world.

Introduction

A She-Wolf, her fur matted with mud and dirt, lay curled up on the ground. She was in labor. A grey male wolf hovered over her, his eyes clouded with worry. “Are you okay?” He whimpered, nudging the She-Wolf.
The She-Wolf opened one of her shining amber eyes. “I think.” She replied.
The Grey Wolf sighed. “Do you think the pup will arrive soon?” He asked.
“I’m not…” The She-Wolf cut herself off with a wail of pain. “It’s coming!” She howled.
“I see the head!” The Grey Wolf said excitedly. “And the body! It’s female! She is such a beautiful-” He gasped, taking a few steps back.
“W-what’s wrong?!” The She-Wolf asked, sensing something was wrong.
“The She-Pup.. Is.. BLUE!” He howled.
“What?!” The She-Wolf shakily stood up and stared at the new-born pup. “It- She is!” She gasped.
“There is something else wrong too..” The Grey-Wolf said, his hackles rising, “This pup.. Has a crystal attached to her head, and it feels evil. We must get rid of this.. Abomination!”
“No!” The She-Wolf gasped, “I know she is not normal, but.. She is my pup! And I must nurse her!” She started to growl, “And if you don’t agree with me.. Then I’ll.. I’ll…”
The Grey-Wolf licked the She-Wolf’s forehead. “I’m sorry. I just overreacted.” He said and wagged his tail.
The She-Wolf’s fur went down, “Good.” She said, and watched as the newborn pup started to suckle. She licked her, “I’ll name you Rainstorm.” She whispered. “My daughter…”
A couple months later
A blue wolf pup was sitting at the edge of a cliff. Her fur rippling in the wind. Her eyes were closed, and the mysterious black crystal on her head was shining, making the fur around the crystal seem as black as midnight. She felt something calling her. She had felt it for days now. What was it? She concentrated harder, she got the image of a book, but what did it mean…?
“Rainstorm!” A male voice called, jolting the wolf from her meditation. She opened her red eyes, that’s pupils looked like a snakes and turned around, seeing a rusty colored male wolf wagging his tail. “Hey Rainstorm!” He said playfully and bounded over to her, oblivious to the fact that he had interrupted her meditation.
Rainstorm smiled at the male wolf. “Hello Forest.” She said in a voice that sounded more mature for her age. “How are you this morning?”
Forest blinked at her. “Um… The sun is just starting to set Rainstorm…” He said in a confused tone.
Rainstorm’s eyes widened, “I must have been meditating for longer then I thought…” She murmured.
“What was that?” Forest asked, tilting his head to one side in confusion. “You’re kind of creeping me out Rainy.”
Rainstorm giggled when Forest said his nickname for her, it always made her laugh. “I’m just tired, that’s all.”
“Okay then!” Forest replied. “Um.. Rainstorm.. I have a question for you… promise not to tell anyone?”
Rainstorm’s ears pricked, she was interested, “What is it?”
“I.. Want to explore the wilderness.!” Forest said. “All of the adult wolves always do, and I always wanted to explore myself and… I want you to come with me.”
Rainstorm’s eyes widened, “But… pups aren’t allowed in the wilderness! Especially at night!”
“So… you won’t come..?” Forest asked, his ears drooping.
Rainstorm laughed, “Heck yeah I’m coming!” She jumped up onto her hind legs, making Forest take a few steps back.
“I’m still not used to the looks of a wolf on their hind legs.” Forest said. “It’s just.. Weird to see you like that Rainy.”
Rainstorm chuckled, “It’s weird for me to see you on all fours, and it’s much more comfortable like this. Now, let’s go!”
She and forest snuck through the wolf camp. By this time, most of the wolves were asleep, and the night-hunters were already gone, it was very slim that they would run into them. As they kept walking, it started to get very dark, and the forest got thicker. “I think we may be lost.” Rainstorm said.
“No we aren’t lost!” Forest replied, laughing nervously.
Rainstorm looked at Forest skeptically, but didn’t say anything. Suddenly, she howled out of pain and fell on the ground, clutching the part of her forehead that her crystal was on. Even though it was pitch dark outside, the crystal was still glowing with its eerie black light, that seemed to be darker then dark itself. She howled again, this time it was deeper and more evil sounding. Shadows started to swirl around her and she seemed to be hovering.
“Rainstorm!? Are you okay?!” Forest gasped, taking a few steps back.
Rainstorm opened her eyes, they were glowing red and had no pupils. “The book…” The voice seemed to echo around the forest, and her mouth had not even opened.
Suddenly a shadow broke off from the shadows that surrounded Rainstorm and slashed at Forest.
Forest howled in pain, the shadow had hit his shoulder and blood was dripping down his right forepaw. “What is wrong with you Rainstorm?!” He whimpered.
Rainstorm howled demonically and fire that was as black as shadows came out of her mouth, singeing Forest’s snout, making him cry out in pain. Then she dived into the ground, seeming to dissolve into the shadows on the ground.
Before Forest could react, Rainstorm grabbed his leg and dragged him into the shadows.
For a few seconds, it was silent, then Rainstorm came out of the shadows with Forest in her grasp. Forest was half alive, and barley breathing. Rainstorm’s crystal’s glowing started to dim and soon it stopped glowing, and her pupils came back as her eyes stopped glowing.
“Forest?!” She exclaimed, seeing her friend on the ground, half alive. “What happened?!”
Forest opened one of his eyes. “You…” He rasped. “You did this… Rainstorm.. You’re… a monster.” His eye slowly closed, and he was dead.
“No!” Rainstorm cried, going on her knees and burying her nose into Forest’s fur. “Don’t die!” She lifted her blood soaked nose up to watch the sun rise. Suddenly, everything came back to her, she felt as if she was thrown against something hard. She knew what she did. “I can’t stay.” She said, tears welling up in her eyes and going down her furry cheeks. “Goodbye.. Forest.. My love.” She sunk into her shadow and soon became it. She was able to sense where everything was inside of her shadow, it was as if she was using a sixth sense that came from her crystal. She was able to sense were everything was in complete darkness. So she sped off, to where even she herself didn’t know.
One day later
A shadow sped across the forest. It dodged trees and went around bushes. That shadow, was Rainstorm. She had been in her shadow for about a day now, and she was starting to loose power. She stopped herself. Time to leave. I can’t stay in this forever. She tried to leave her shadow, but, she was unable to. What?! She struggled inside her shadow. I… I’m stuck.. In the Shadow Realm! She started to panic. What do I do?!
“I know why you are trapped.” A voice echoed inside the darkness around Rainstorm.
Who are you?! Rainstorm thought, having no way to talk.
“I am the book that you have envisioned since you were born.” The voice replied.
You’re… real? Rainstorm gasped in her mind. And.. how can you talk?
“There is no time for questions.” The voice said with a hint of a snarl. “You must know why you are unable to get out of your shadows.” Without waiting for Rainstorm to say anything, it continued, “You cannot stay in your shadow for more then one day. It is forbidden.”
I can understand that. Rainstorm replied, knowing that ‘the book’ didn’t really like questions. But.. how do I get out?
“You may only leave on the new moon of the next month.” The voice replied.
But… There was a new moon just yesterday! She cried.
“Then you will be waiting a long time.” The voice replied, with a hint of a laugh. “I must go now, I need to rest.” Its voice started to fade
No! Don’t leave! She whimpered.
“Let this be a lesson.” The presence of the book faded, and Rainstorm was left alone.
Come back… Rainstorm whimpered, Please…
One month later
Rainstorm was unable to sleep, eat, drink, or anything. She didn’t need to anyway.
“A month has past. You may leave now.”
Rainstorm was startled by the voice. She had forgotten what talking had sounded like. W-what? She stuttered in her mind.
“You know what I said, leave the shadows.”
Rainstorm didn’t even think about it. She suddenly just popped out of the ground. She blinked and looked around, “I forgot what seeing was like…” She murmured. “Talking too.” Then, she noticed a book on the ground. It was brown and it looked ripped and tattered. In glowing red letters It said, “Spell book” Rainstorm picked it up, it felt like it was tingling in her paws. “Is it you?” She asked, it, wondering if she was crazy for talking to this book.
“Yes.” She heard the voice echo in her head. “You have found me.”
Rainstorm jumped when she heard the book. Then sighed, “Either I’m crazy or you are real.” She said, “I’m kinda’ hoping you are real.”
A raspy laughter echoed around Rainstorm. “You are an amusing student Rainstorm.”
“How.. How do you know my name?!” Rainstorm gasped, “And what do you mean by student.”
“I know many things, and what I mean by student, is that I’ll teach you to control your powers.”
“My powers are evil though..” Rainstorm murmured.
“Open me.” The book said, ignoring what Rainstorm said. “I can teach you many things.”
Rainstorm felt something coming over her, empowering her to open the book. What she saw, was amazing. Millions of spells were in it, and how to control every powered crystal that ever existed and even some that didn’t exist as in it.
“I will teach you many things, so you can become the most powerful wolf in the world.”
“Yes..” Rainstorm said, her crystal starting to glow. “Yes… my teacher.”
A couple years later
Rainstorm was a young adult now. She had grown much, in power, and in wisdom. She knew many things, things that if a normal creature new they would surely go mad from knowing it. She had also found a cave, well, her spell book actually had found it. She was currently looking through her book. “Hey Spell Book, is this a new spell?” She asked, pointing to a spell that she had not seen before.
“Yes.” The book replied, “I have decided you are ready for this spell.”
Rainstorm read the spell. It said,
“This spell will make random animals have random crystals. It will also give them intelligence that is only matched by humans. It will make them stand on their hind legs and have thumbs. This spell will also make them obey you. This is what you need to do, You must wait for a solar eclipse, and say the words that will pop into your mind.”
Rainstorm read over the information about the spell three times. “Today is a solar eclipse, isn’t it?” She said.
“Yes, and it is starting now. You better hurry.”
Rainstorm looked outside of her cave, her book was right, it was starting. She ran outside, suddenly, words popped into her head. They sounded nonsense, but she knew they were part of an ancient language that has been lost for many a millennia. She started to say the words, “Elica numa nami elica nami elica nami nami elica, no.. wait!” She gasped, “I meant Meilca!” A bright light, that had all of the colors of the rainbow, and more, whirled around her, then all of the colors spread apart, and zipped of on separate ways.
“You have made a mistake.” The voice growled. “Now many creatures will get a crystal, but they won’t obey you, also, intelligence has also been discharged, so now you must find all of the animals with crystals and all of the intelligent animals! I am disappointed with you.” The voice seemed to sigh. “I guess it is understandable. This is a hard spell. I will give you other spells to help you find them. Come over here.”
Rainstorm went over to the spell book. She saw many new spells, for conjuring her own elemental beasts, and mutating her own minions, even a special spell to force the ones she captured to work for her. “This will help.” Rainstorm started to laugh evilly, “This is going to be fun.”
