A Tale of Two Strangers {Shadow and the Phantom}
Shadow trudged onto the land and looked as many others surrounded him. "What do you think youre doing here?" one growled. //I have to prove myself// Shadow thought. "So its redemption you seek, eh?" another asked, reading his mind. Shadow nodded. The others all lined up behind the one and awaited their turn. Shadow took them down, one by one, but at last he came to the most powerful one. "Dont think you can take me down!" the last snarled. "Too late!" Shadow growled, charging the leader. A paw across his face, and down his eye was Shadows reward. As he lay on the ground the alpha and others scurried away, seeing a human. "Easy," the human said quietly to Shadow. He had a mask covering part of his face. He drew a wolf mask out of his cape and put it over Shadows wound. "You can talk?" Shadow asked the Phantom. "Yes," he replied. "Now, lets get you back to your pack." he added, picking up Shadow. Shadow looked around as he was carried back to Moonpack lands. "Thanks," Shadow said as the Phantom placed him lightly on the ground. "No problem," the Phantom replied. He whirled his cape around himself and disappeared, just out of Shadows line of sight and smell. "Wait!" Shadow called. "Ill be around, you'll see," said the Phantoms distant voice.
