So this is my first time trying something like this and I guess if it goes well I will continue it. So condsider this a teaser/ test to see how well I can do. I know its short but any constructive feedback would be welcome.


The year is 2057 the morning dew has frozen and created a new layer of frost along the ground, the trees void of their leaves. The wind whistles as it passes though the circle of trees and there in the center stood alone wolf his Figure slender then normal wolfs his torn jeans and black hoodie drooped slightly on his body, his fur pure white as fresh laid snow and eyes a deep blue as if they were two wells of crystal blue water. There he stood breathing slowly in through his nose and out again through his muzzle, his breath steaming. "Come on now concentrate, you can do this" the wolf calmly spoke as he closed his eyes "just see the bow, and using mana give the bow structure". The wolf stretched out his hands bringing them together.

The wolf narrowed his brows as to concentrate at the task at hand, is breathing constant not fluctuating for a moment. As he began to move his hands out, a light with a blue hue arc from hand to hand to, fingertip to fingertip. At first the light was smooth with the ebb and flow of water but moments later it became wild and sporadic similar to lightning. The sudden change of energy in the light made the wolf, causing him to narrow his brow further and clench his jaw. "Come on, you got this. Just conjure the DAMN BOW" his words turning to shouts as the energy between his palms vanished leaving his hands empty. "GOD DAMN IT, WHY CAN'T I DO THIS" his voice now echoing the woods around him growing distance after every time he heard his own voice.

"How dare you blame me for your own short comings" a voice beckoned back "For once put the power in your own hand and stop relaying on other world beings to do the hard work for you Jason" the voice turned from one of deep and bellowing to one of snickering.

"Ha ha, very funny Michael but we can't all be born prodigies like you" Jason smiled as he saw his brother passed through the trees, who's fur a dark grey and with the tip of his muzzle growing whiter till his nose. Michael was about 6ft 4 much taller and muscular than Jason who stood at 5ft 8 "Mum send you to keep an eye on me?" Jason spoke as Michael came into full view.

"Maybe, but I also wanted to see how your progression is going, still not able to summon the bow?" Michael spoke raising an eyebrow.

"No, I can't no matter how much I try, whatever way I try I get the same result. A few arcs of energy and then bop it just disappears" frustration grew in Jason as he spoke "how did you do it at age 6 and here I am almost 18 and still can't do it"

"Maybe you're just a late bloomer that's all" Michael said while placing his hand on his brother's head and giving it a little ruff "don't stress to much ok, that won't help"

"I know but I'm starting uni in a few days and when have you heard of someone at uni who couldn't summon their pact weapon" Jason slumped as he said this as the feeling of dread descended, what would people think of him he thought. It wouldn't be so bad if he was a little better with technology that way, he could probably use techno-sorcery but sadly he could only use the basic forms of techno-sorcery.

"Right look just give it time im sure you find your way to summon it and then it be like second nature, right, right so let's get back home for dinner otherwise you can expect mum to be out here hunting our ass down and do you remember what happen last time she had a hunt, she grounded the both of us for a whole month" Michael said as span on his heel and head back in the direction he came from with Jason following not far behind.
