altar and tried to think why that girl looked back at me.

            Sect-4: Aleu’s story

            “I was so scared! I thought he was going to kill me or do something else.” I said as I walked next to my brother and father.

            “Sorry this ended up being such a bad father/daughter day Aleu, maybe we can try again tomorrow.” My father tried to reassure me.

            “I’m sorry too sis, I should watched over you better.” Kodi said in regret.

            “Kodi it- it’s alright, like papa said we can try again tomorrow. Maybe we could go to Wolf Ridge this time so you guys can meet up with Nava.” I suggested.

            “Good idea Aleu! But maybe we should get some rest first. Huh?” My father suggested.

            “Sure.” I agreed. Kodi also agreed. When we reached Nome, Kodi walked to the sawmill while my father and I went to his boat. When my father was asleep I stayed up thinking about that wolf on the floating island. “Poor guy, up there all alone, no one to keep him company, I bet ya his family is no longer around. I feel sorry for him.” Then I pondered about something, something I would either regret or be thankful for. The memory of him trampling me came into my head. I remembered how our eyes met and how easily he was able to resist hurting me and release me. “I know what I’m going to do” I then walked out of the boat quietly and I took some food from outside the town butcher’s store and went towards the hill range where the “teleportation cave” was. I found the cave, entered it, and activated the crystal, a few moments later I was back in the clearing on the floating island.

            Sect-4:Guardian story

            I enjoy looking at the constellation naming the stars I knew and sometimes taking a quick run around the island. After all I have the ability to run at high speeds and glide so a jog around the WHOLE island would only take about….. 4 minutes! But of course I had to sleep sometime so around 11:00 pm I fell asleep and dreamed again about Aniu.

                        The severs are the seven crystals, The cosmos contains power, power conceivable within the mind, the dimmest of stars can also be the brightest, tis with this brightness that light reins over darkness.

            When the dream was finished I awoke to some noises. It didn’t really seem that late, probably only 30 minutes passed by from when I fell asleep. I got up and went to the bottom of the altar and hid in the bushes to see what was going on. It was that female again. I was going to pounce her again like I did earlier that day but something had stopped me. I think I was captivated at her walk; how graceful, swift, gentle she seemed, almost as if she was gliding or ice-skating over the grass. I watched for a few moments then snapped back into reality. And as I did earlier I ambushed her.

            “GET OFF OF ME! she demanded. “NOW, it- it’s me.”

            “I know… What are you still doing here?” I asked her.

            “I, well… I wanted to just um…. see if you were alright.”

            “What? Why?” that feeling rushed over me as I heard her voice.

            “Look I know you’ve been up here all by yourself and you aren’t really used to having company, so I was just wondering if you wanted some company.”

Once again the feeling came over me but even stronger this time. “Lo- look I am grateful for you concern but please you shouldn’t be here, after all how do I know you aren’t trying to trick me?”

            “We’ll if you don’t believe me I will just leave.” She didn’t show any sign of walking away so I knew she didn’t want to leave. So I had to come up with some reason to have her stay without her getting any wrong ideas.

            “Sorry, but you can’t leave.” I warned her.

            “Why?” She asked.

            “Because you know to much about the entrances and exits and the geography of the island, I can’t risk you giving out all this information to your people.” Clever reason right? Well she bought it.

            “Oh alright I guess. But I have no place to sleep.” She told me.

            “Don’t worry I’ll prepare a place for you. Would you like some refreshments or something?” I was losing my stern guardian personality and getting a charming gentlemen attitude at this moment.

            “Uh no thanks. I already have some food.”

            “Alright. Follow me.” I lead her to the alter and like I did when I first looked at it, she became bewildered at the sight.

            “WOW! Is that the thingy you were  talking about earlier? “ She asked and I was forced to say yes. “Not going of the island so, no worry of me talking about it to my family. So where do I sleep again?” She asked

            “Up near the top where I sleep.” I slept on the south part of the alter, she would sleep on the north side. There was already a pile dry grass, flowers and some feathers there for her.

            “Wow, you’re quick. Thank you.” She laid down on it and attempted to fall asleep.

            I went to my side and sat down. But I had a question to ask her. “Excuse me, I don’t believe I caught your name.”

            “It’s Aleu. What’s yours again?” She replied.

            “Heh, I’m  Apaulo, Apaulo the Guardian wolf.” and after a few minutes I noticed she was peacefully slepping. It was 12:30 now and I too was getting drowsy. “Now I have the fem- I mean Aleu out of the way. Now to find out how this’ll work out, and what the heck that quote from Aniu means.” I fell asleep and had a dream where Aleu and I were walking through the forest, I will leave the rest of the dream for some other time.
