So people go on. Thank God it didn't take too long this time.

We ran up the hill and Hige was greeted effusively by the others. I felt a little superfluous and sat a little outside. Meanwhile I examine the rest of the pack. They all didn't seem much older than me and Hige. When I noticed that I was staring at someone again, I quickly looked for another point to stare at. So much my view of the landscape that you could see from the hill. A breathtaking sight. A snow-covered plain spread out to my paws, which slowly turned into forest. The tops of the trees were as snow-covered as the plain. I could even see the river in which I had stood this morning. I was so excited by the view that I didn't notice that everyone was looking at me. It was only when Hige nudged me that I realized that had been the focus of attention for a while.Again Hige turned into a human. The others did the same and sat with me. The white wolf had turned into a young man and sat to my right. Longer brown hair and intelligent eyes. The girl who smelled so unnaturally of flowers sat down next to him. Next to them, also on my right side, sat the gray wolf. I valued him older than Hige me and also than the white wolf. As in wolf form, it had an X-shaped scar on its chest. To my left sat Hige and the brown and white wolf. In human form you could tell that the boy, who looked like a girl, was a little younger than me and Hige.
Now Hige spoke to me: "Okay, first of all we have to give you a shape so that you can answer us. Just think very firmly of your human form and then you will transform yourself back. It took me a while to get out what he meant by that Then I was finally sitting among them again with two feet and two hands.I looked down at myself and saw that I was my favorite thing, namely a pair of jeans and a long-sleeved T-shirt with a blue fleece hoodie over it. Strange I went to sleep in my pajamas. Ah, whatever. Now the white wolf spoke up: "Hi! I'm Kiba, that's Cheza. The grumpy guy over there in the leather suit is Tsume. The one just introduced glared at Kiba but then nodded at me. Either Kiba had the ice-cold look not seen or he deliberately ignored him because he continued to introduce his companions. "You already know Hige and the little one next to him is Toboe. "The mentioned smiled and waved briefly." So now you know us. "said Hige," but what's your name? "My name is Aki Inuzuma," I introduced myself, "but everyone calls me Ookami and I now think I know why" I added with a cheeky grin. First everyone looked at me confused, then they understood what I meant and had to Only then did the many questions I have asked and I started to babble."Tell me why did I actually become a wolf? And are there more? And why can we switch between the shapes? And why did you actually run over me the day before yesterday?", I said to Hige. He said: "Well, as I have already said, you get answers to your questions, but you have to let us have a say yes?" I opened my mouth but didn't know what to say and so I quickly closed it again. "Good, said Hige, so I think the best way to explain it all is if you know the legend right? What do you Kiba think? Cheza? Both nodded and so Hige started to tell.

"Well, people believe that we wolves became extinct hundreds of years ago. That's true up to a certain point. All but two puppies are extinct. And these survive and are the ancestors of all wolves still alive today. They are us including about 20 of them worldwide In any case, these two wolves had the ability to deceive the human eye and transform themselves into humans.And they inherited this ability to all of their ancestors. But the wolves had lost their ancestral place in the world. Now the legend tells of a paradise. But nobody knows exactly where this paradise is. Allegedly the moon flower is supposed to find it, but they are extinct except for Cheza, and Cheza doesn't know what to do next. Then exactly five generations ago a wolf fell in love with a human woman. And the two had offspring. However, they were completely normal people. Allegedly wolf blood takes five generations to assert itself. These beings would then be half human and half wolf. And the fifth generation, so the legend says, would be born human, but spend their life as wolf. This generation is said to be the only one who is still able to find paradise today. Once the wolf blood awakens, he or she would automatically turn into a wolf. His fur would be as black as the night but also the color of the moon.So much for the legend, "Hige ended his story. Now Tsume answered for the first time:" And all of this applies to you. "At first I was stunned. I was supposed to lead everyone to a paradise that I hadn't known about until two minutes ago? How should I do that? Panic spread through me. I was sure that I couldn't do it. And I didn't want to disappoint anyone either. So what should I do? Sadly and with my head down, I said: "I'm sorry, I think you found the wrong person. I don't even know what this paradise is, nor do I know how to get there. "With that I turned into a wolf (I have no idea how I did it, but at the moment I didn't care) and started walking. I didn't even notice what was happening around me. The Hige also jumped up and followed me I wanted to, but was stopped by Cheza, I didn't notice. I just wanted to get away and process it all. So I ran and ran and ran and ran.Hige transformed back into human and looked at Cheza with a mixture of anger and confusion. "What was that about Cheza? If we let her wander around alone, she'll end up being caught by this crazy wolfhunter." "Calm down again, Hige. Nothing will happen to her. I'll follow her, but just let her go now. She has to just digest it all, "said Cheza gently. Then she went off. "Cheza!" Kiba called after her. She turned and looked at him questioningly. "Take care of yourself, yes? And Aki," Kiba said worriedly. Then he grinned mischievously and added: "Otherwise Hige will go crazy. It seems to be because of her. Hige lowered his jaw a lot and he stared at Kiba. Then he grinned underhandedly, turned back into his original form and jumped Kiba playfully. He had noticed early enough what Hige was up to and also related. Now they both rolled on the floor and annoyed each other. Cheza could only smile.Well, there was nothing else you could do but smile at the group of four. They already knew each other so well. You could almost have thought they were a family. In addition, the feeling that Kiba had hit the bull's eye with his claim. Only the look with which Hige Aki sought. Had she noticed? Or was it even mutual?

I hadn't got very far because it had started snowing again and I didn't want to get lost. After all, I didn't know my way around here at all. And actually I didn't want to get away from Hige and the others because I actually felt very comfortable with them. But I just needed some air. I was still sure that you meant the wrong one, that I didn't know anything about paradise. While I was thinking like this, I came to the nearby forest. There I sat under a large snow-covered fir tree and stared into the air. After a while, I noticed a familiar smell and looked around.Cheza was about ten steps away from me. Now she sat down next to me and I turned back. Funnily enough, it was no longer difficult for me at all.

I looked at her questions. She sighed and said, "Okay, I know that you have no idea what paradise is and how to get there. I raised my eyebrows. How could she know that? As always when I was confused you could read the Cheza on my face said: "That is also in the legend. The fifth generation will have no idea how to get to paradise. And that's where I come in. Because we have to look for paradise together. I know the first part of the way. I just know him. Instinctively. And you will know the second part when the time comes. "Now I understand more. That means I don't even have to know where I have to go? Can I just stay with you?" I asked carefully. Cheza smiled and then said: “Of course.” So we both left again to go to the others.I turned back into a wolf. I liked the shape more and more. I saw the whole world around me better. And I'm also traveling much faster than I used to be. Squeaky fun, I jumped around Cheza, who was infected by my exuberance. When we had almost reached the hill and Hige, Kiba and Toboe came towards us. Tsume stood up and looked down at his friends disapprovingly. Really. Acted like young puppies who greet their mother who comes with food from the hunt.

Kiba greeted me with a short wag of his tail and a wiff. Then joined Cheza. Somehow I had the feeling that something was going on between the two of them. Toboe and Hige greeted Cheza first and then me. Which was understandable because she was ranked higher than me. Then Toboe ran off and a short time later arrived up at Tsume's. Hige, however, stayed with me. Side by side we trotted up the hill. Kiba and Chesa stayed behind us and gave each other meaningful looks.We had been sitting up on the ledge for a while when Hie suddenly said: "Guys, I'm hungry. Who else?" Since my stomach had been reporting for a while, I gave a short bark. (I'm still in wolf form) Kiba and Toboe also answered. "Well then I would say we go hunting. Tsume are you coming with me?" asked Hige. Tsume nodded. Cheza said: "You have to take Aki with you. If she has to live as a wolf, then she has to be able to hunt." Kiba agreed. "Okay let's go then," said Toboe and started walking. The rest of us followed him.

So that's it from my wait again. I'm curious to see how I really liked it.
And don't forget the picking.
