Black Fang

I am a friend of the trees, the water, the plants, the grass. I am a friend of the sky, the clouds, the rain, the thunder, the lightning. I cried out to the stars, the shining stars on their black table, serving the moon. I cried out to the moon, the moon in its throne, watching the happenings of the Earth and the heavens. I cried out to the night, with silent wind, the never-ending darkness, the never-ending beauty. I cried out to the black owl, with its heart shaped face and smooth, patterned feathers. I cried out to the trees, the wisest of all beings. I cried out to the mountains, the tallest and broadest of the world. I cried out to the hidden sun, blazing somewhere else, somewhere I couldnot see. I called to the world and the world called back to me, whispered that it knew I was there, that its servant, its protector, its child, dared to acknowledge it. The black owl hooted. It screamed back with me, joining my voice. I was a creature of the night. I was Black Fang. Learn more about from where this came from in my short stories!!!
