CHAPTER 2

Wereheart wokeup about the lated afternoon in the high grass. The only scents and sound around were those of the forest animals, that were being to move around. The scent reminded of how hungry he was as he looked in his pack to see what supplies he had left for his journey home. Inside the pack he found a few pieces of dry beef jerky, berries, nuts and nearly empty canteen of water.He a took just a small of water wetted it his thouth,as he place the cap back on the canteen, and back in the pack he stop suddenly as the when sounds of the aimals went silent as the sounds of them was vanished replaced with female humming a song that you would in a park,or in home's a happy song Wereheart moved from his hide place to see whom was humming. He silent as possilbe through the brushes to see what this female looked like.As he pull back bushes to see ,all he could is a figure of woman with blondieredish hair wearing of purlpe rode with gold trim holding silver staff moving toward edge of treeline. Wereheart lead out a deep loud glow, not in hunger but desire to be with her to hold to kiss her. Wereheart rewise what he done, heself had put in danger. He quickly realse the bushes return to his quickly to the hide place to pack up his pack, and find location to in hide in until night come. Wereheart quietly and quickly to the second hide place which was nearer to enter to path. .Reaching into the side pocket he pulled out the special map that his father had entrusted to him. Even though each of brothers carried the same copy of the map, only the male members of his family had a copy of this particular map. The map showed hidden caves, paths and other ways of travel to unmarked territories and realms of certain elven and werewolf colonies.
Comparing the stars on the map and in the sky for him to take the right path thru the hills without any problems or detections..He stood up stretching and he shaking his head to wakeup,as he was looking toward hills for the pathway's marker.He spotted a dim greenish pulsing light just under the branches of a large oak tree on the hillside.He moved quickly toward the hill without deserve the animal around him toward pathway's marker. Wereheart walked passed the old guardian tree toward the rock's side with the marker's engraving on it.He putting his hand on it to bush the sand and dust off of the marker so he could see the engraving in which way to go toward passage way.He putting his map out and held it toward the moon to see which rune mark to use on the marker before him. On the map the land mark disappeared and was replaced by a single rune symbol on the map paper.He place the map back inside the side pocket in the pack so he wouldn't loose it.Next Wereheart remove his pendant from around his neck,he looked,smelled around him to make sure no one was in the area.When he was sure the area was clear,he place the his arrowhead shape pendant on to engraving marker,making sure that the pendant's point was pointing that the right rune symbol on the marker.Because if he use the wrong rune symbol it would be very hard to get thur the hills. He probably would be detected and caught by the towns people or priest,who would have him caged then put him to the death by being burn alive.The blue/green stone in center of the pendant gave a quick flash to indicate that the pathway would be opening soon.Wererheart pickup his pendent from the marker, listening for the passway's door to opened into,or over the hills .He heard an the rumbling ,some rocks falling from left side of the hill . Suddenly the left side of the hill started to shift back into hill to form a stair way to the hill top. Wereheart quickly put his pendent back around his neck and pick up his field pack started to climbing up the stairway. As he climb quickly to top of the hill ,he quickly turn to see if any one was following him up the stairway with his hand on sword's handle ready to draw it if he had to defend the secret trail thru the hills.When the stairway disappear he turn started to walked into hill pass another old guardian tree .He notice some arrows sticking into the old tree along with sash marks ,and burned marks on the trunk of the tree as it was in battle with trespasser which had no rights being there.He also noticed on the ground there are an small pool of dried bloods,with a blood trail that lead into the main trail which connected two of trail-ways meet together. Wereheart let out deep growl of anger about a possibility of trespasser into the clans secret trails suddenly his body started to shaking then he felt a sharp pain running through his entire body which made him fall to the ground on all four.Wereheart fought hard to maintain his human form telling himself that he did not need to lose control now and change his form here in the pass way.If he did change now he would not make it out of the hill alive because the traps and creatures that live here. A few minutes pass Wereheart felt pain pass he slowly stood up shacking his head and stretch out his arms to loose up trying relieve some the stress of the moment. He bent over a pick up his sword off the ground but he keep it in his hand just case he had to used against trespassers. As he started follow the trail of blood,ready himself in his mind for combat with these trespassers.Has he followed the trail of blooded ,he was coming wear of the surrounding that there was no birds singing in the trees, or any animals around the area. As Wereheart followed blood trail listening for sound of movement in the bushes.He started hum a song his mother used to sing to him when he was little boy when he had a nightmare in the middle of the night.He stopped in track saying to himself "You are a warrior and you are to fight, kill these trespassers of his pack territory so get your head out of your ass and acted like a warrior."as he shook his head about. He looked around and listen for sound of movement in the bushes before moving toward the small build which was the Shrine of the Moon Goddess .
