A Fiery Desire
#5 of Lunar
As I sit here, Christmas time, my mate, Toko, sleeping on the bed, Im so lucky to have her. I met her the way I met most of my friends, I was on a mission, Undercover as usual and trying to solve a case, I was at a high school, their was a rumor of drug selling going on in the school, And after a teacher was caught with drugs, we decided to investigate the rumor, Normally I would go in as a disguised wolf, like I have many times before, I used different names, Alex, Kuma, Mikal. But I decided to wing it and just go. A funny thing, I usually came up with disguises or covers by my self or by looking back at history.
My other 'forms' So to say, the people I make up, write stories about. The exacts are so simple.. Spirit Wolfen, Ace Lupilato, Wind Wolf, Maj, Ilumious, Domen Kurnon, Shadow Burlon, Juhal Anubian Mehzet, Jamal Henduga, Sun Zi, Unakumi, Lilthian, Cervin Malik and Puppeh.
_Spirit Wolfen was an ancient warrior, leader and first and only king of the Spirit Tribe, during his time alive, the spirit tribe was so pure and so healthy. Then when Spirit died of natural causes, the tribe slowly collapsed. Legend tells that he had this sense of supernatural magic, Which probably grow on the fact that during his time, he was one of the best strategists in the world, Almost to one of my stature, A fierce warrior and loyal to his people to the end...something so rare today.
Ace Lupilato was a mobster during the era of the Italian Mafia or correctly known and called the Sicilian Mafia, when they ruled the streets of New York City in the late 1900's, He was the Don's 2nd hand man, an assassin, a hit man, 2nd in command of the most powerful family. Ace was the underboss or Sotto Capo. He was wanted all throughout the city, However, I do have respect for him even though if I were alive during such a time, I would of faced him. He used such mental intimidation, unlike most who used plain bulk, Ace used smarts and his own resources to get to the top.
Wind Wolf is an acual person, He lives in Florida with his wife, Me and him are quite friends, of course we have this friendship a secret, He is so deep and so wise, For someone known as a 'Rockstar' he is quite interesting. Writing songs based on problems and emotions, songs that are even extremely melodic.
Maj was a detective, only second to myself, He was extremely gifted in deduction, raised in london, But even so...He was such an oppurtunist, He ended when me and him got into an unfortunate detective war, A war inwhich the first detective to solve the case wins, And as a result, He seemed to just vanish out of nowhere.. He was a smart individual, if their was one to surpass me, It would of been him.
Ilumious was a medieval king, a tyrant, known for his supression and his expansion, ruling an Empire so large, it almost occupied the entire earth, However, because of such a large empire, It was quite impressive that he could control that amount...Then he was assassinated and the empire split.
Domen Kurnon was one of the names used by an ancient civilazation which was used as the grim reaper, a figure of perfect judgement. Judging souls and then throwing them either into hell or heaven, The perfect figure of the last and final justice. And for those who give themselves in, They are granted one wish.
Shadow Burlon was an acual killer, a student that witnessed the death of his beloved by the hands of the very people that destroyed him mentally and emotionally, and as a result, Brutally killed each single one of them and then took his own life, Not a very wise choice or wise individual but still the passion he had, simply interesting.
Their was a lost and forgotten god in Egyptian mythology, A Herm Jackal named Juhal, Banished because of his difference, wandering the world for a way to get back to the heavens, strapped laced around him to suppress his gifts of a god, his supernatural powers. According to the story, it ends with him finally being welcomed back.
Jamal Henduga was a raccoon living in the Swamps of New Orleans, he's the one that began the entire Voodoo thing in New Orleans, a very zany creature, Some say he is dead, some say he is alive...But with some people, Theirs Influence is so powerful that even when they are dead, they seem as though they are alive like you and me.
In japan, their is a legend that high above the clouds, lays a mountain.. And their is a guard of this acursed mountain, any traveller unfortunate enough to venture to high or to close to the mountain is to be at the mercy of this dragon, A surviver of the dragon massacre brought by the ancient emperor. A gentle eastern dragon, who distrusts all that is human.
Unakumi is a folkloric figure, a fisherman who cannabilized and killed people in the village he lived, Driven out by the people of the victims and then drowning in the river, His soul so black and so corrupted, he became a ghost and since then, their is a fear of going anywhere near the fog-filled river that unakumi drowned in, because the curse states anyone who ventures to far, will be killed by the ghost of Unakumi.
Lilthian was a natural born assassin for the tribe he was raised, growing into the most feared warrior of his time, Mastering the skills of secrecy and stealth. Able to kill the most guarded people with ease, Like spirit, he died of old age, natural causes, having trained numerous successful warriors.
Cervin Malik was the name of robin hood, A vigilante who stole from the rich and gave to the poor, People may call him Rob Hood, a kind fellow, After the king was killed by his own men in attempts to drive robin hood out, Cervin put down his bow, His bow, a lengend figure of accuracy and aim.
Puppeh is no real person, He represents innocence and how much and how easily such innocence is taken advantage of, By manipulators and crooks, Puppeh represents the innocence we have in all of us._
Each person I feel has a trait, something that represents them.

But now, Im thinking of retiring from detective work, Having solved over 300 cases, Im a target, as any big-timed detective, the difference between them and me is that, I work behind an unbreakable wall of secrecy and darkness... But everyone knows no wall is unbreakable. I see hearts get up, I remember the first time I saw her.
The first time I felt her - Her soft, warm Dark cloudy gray fur, as soft as silk, as warm as a fire on a cool winters day. As I gazed into her eyes, Ocean blue that just seemed to mesmorize me, I knew I had to have her, and Im willing to risk it all to be with her. I, Never felt this way before. Usually I distance myself from everyone, set up a shield.
But Toko...I love her, I have been with other people before, I've had my heart broken more times Then I can remember, I may be successful, Rich, Smart, A legendary and one of the best detectives in the world, But what was the cost, Spending my childhood in a institution and witnessing my family burn to the ground? Having my life threatened as many times as I have? Seeing decorated officers killed and having to live with the guilt, Yes I caught the criminal but lost such brave men.I love toko, Im willing to give everything to her....I just hope she doesn't crush my heart...
