The Wilds 01: Dreamcatching
The pain of being alone....is something that a lot of people have, or may not have in common. Of course, when it comes to Nayavu, that was all he ever knew. He had lived in a time, where there was no cellphones, no computers or even electricity. He lived in a time where a man had to hunt for his own food, and fight for his survival. Of course being alone, is not as worse as being dead. He knows at least that much,. Our story begins, in the midst of a cold winter. The water had already turned to ice on the lake, and the trees were fast asleep in their winter slumber. No birds sang as the light of the sum broke free as it rose up past the tall cold peaks. The ground was covered in a thick layer of snow. Pure white glistening snow. The sun's light reflected off the ice crystals, causing them to sparkle like diamonds
Further up the way, the white snow began to turn crimson. Pools of blood had spilled onto the snow, tainting the white flakes into a ruby red substance that soaked into the ground in thick clods. A few more trails of blood stained snow, we notice a wolf's back leg paw. The fur was caked in blood. Wrapped around the ankle was the iron teeth of a bear trap. Lying in the snow, grunting and whining was the helpless young and naive Nayavu. The trap, it had came out of nowhere. One minute the wolf was walking along the trail, then next throbbing agonizing pain.
Nayavu laid there in the snow, whining softly. He only could think of the past. His mother, his father. He thought about the life that he should have had, instead of the life he already got. He knew that it would be over soon. He would have lost enough blood, he probably would be going up into the Spirit world by now...and no one was there to give him the Rite of Passage, a ritual most would perform on an individual who might be ready to pass onto the spirit world. The Rite helped the three souls of the individual to go to the Spirit World together.
The four souls are apart of everyone in this world. The first soul is the Name Soul, the second the Clan Soul, and the third is the World Soul. Each soul keeps the person in tact, but if the souls are to be separated, there is no telling what may happen.
