Elleward Kenritz

It is called the Forbidden Forest, no ordinary man have ever came back after entering this treacherous wild place.

There are rumors and stories that most of the residence nearby talked about, some find it impossible to believe but there are also some who knew that the giant monster that feed humans is for real.

A guy named Mario spread his words by saying he actually saw it with his own eyes but then after twenty four hours he just disappeared and no one saw him again.

Without them knowing there are only three people are allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest and can come out without having a scratch and they are Marco, Elle and Hendrix.

When Hendrix reach the Forbidden Forest he already knew that he will not only see the beautiful environment, the tall trees, the colorful plants, the crystal clear water on the river, wild and cute animals, but most especially the special creature that became so close to him.

He even describes her as the candle in the night, He call her by the name.. Moonlight.

A giant wolf that was once a little cute pups, He trained her together with his friends Marco and Elle.

They use to go in this forest when they were young, and play with the pups. They even build some tree houses and even created their own territory, this place was their home but everything changes after Marco and Elle disappeared.

Something had change not just because of Marco and Elle but because Hendrix has made his decision.

Moonlight was about to show up when Hendrix speak to her.

"Don't.."

Moonlight is a giant wolf but she is no ordinary at all, her strength and her speed is ten times greater than the fastest and the strongest animal there is on Earth.

She is rational like humans but she can't speak and she don't have to because Hendrix doesn't find it necessary. They just understand each other and sometimes they don't even have to say anything, by the look in their eyes as if they already knew.

Moonlight became sad and lonely after Hendrix decided to be alone and live a normal life.

But now suddenly she is filled with hope. She knew it wont be easy, knowing Hendrix it would be hard for him to betray his own words.

Hendrix is still walking towards the hill where HEM tree is at, but it will really take time for Hendrix to reach there by foot.

Moonlight close her eyes and with her speed, she instantly pick Hendrix and put him on her back. She is prepared for whatever Hendrix may do to her for her disobedience but she just miss him so much.

She continue running, but she heard nothing nor felt something from her master. It only means one thing, her master forgave her and she knew she did nothing wrong, that her master still loves her.

When they finally reach HEM tree, she stops and slowly close her eyes to feel Hendrix presence.

Hendrix jump down and start walking towards the HEM tree where in fact he is also excited to meet his old friend Elle.

Moonlight turn around and felt glad that her master still trust her, maybe he is not ready yet so she is happy and content with that. But as she press her front foot, initiating her speed to run again, Hendrix speak to her.

"See you later moon."

With just like that, the joy within Moonlights eyes glow like a brightest star, its like she was fed with a delicious meal that her entire being is full again.

As she keeps on running while thinking about the reunion between her and her master, her smile suddenly cut-off by the presence of an intruder.

With the 300 meters distance, it felt like that the intruder is right in front of her. She didn't attack because she saw that Cherry is approaching to that brave and young extraordinary lady.

Cherry is also a giant wolf that serves Marco as her master. Marco named her Cherry because of her red eyes that is so similar to the color of a Cherry fruit and also it is Marco's favorite.

The intruder wanted to explain but cherry is there carrying the one and only rule, no one can enter the Master's territory other than the three masters themselves. But the intruder seem to be a stupid hardheaded creature who wanted to die rather than saving her own life.

Moonlight stay foot as she watch Cherry having an interesting scene with the intruder.

Through Moonlight bright white eyes, she can tell that the intruder is no ordinary human. She can see her golden aura reflecting her circumference and it seems like she is telling Cherry that she is ready for a fight.

And of course., how could Cherry let down an very rare opportunity like this, "Cherry is just so lucky to get there first." As Moonlight speak with her mind.

On the other hand, the two best friends finally meet again.

It has been 4 years since they had a conversation, Its like Hendrix somehow forgot that he suppose to get mad or angry because Elle left him without saying goodbye.

It is unusual for an ordinary person to set a meeting place on top of a 50 ft high tree but Henrix and Elle are no ordinary. The tree were planted 13 years ago by Hendrix, Elle and Marco themselves that is why it is called the HEM tree.

When he finally saw Elle right in front of him once again, he couldn't help himself but to give him a hug. They are standing on a strong thick branch 40 ft above the ground like its nothing.

Hendrix saw how different Elle have got, Elle is whiter now compare on what his complexion were, he has long white hair and wearing a gray robe kind of clothing.

"You know what, I suppose to get mad., I think I'm still angry right now.. you left your friend without any reason, so now is your chance., why?"

Hendrix is saying that he is angry but somehow Elle is not convinced, He knew that Hendrix is very strong emotionally, he can handle pain like its nothing.

Elle is also a little bit worried that Hendrix may hold everything inside him and he don't know what will happen by the time when it all get stocked and full.

"Because you will not believe us.." Elle responded.

"What are you talking about, we were best of friends, you and Marco are my brothers, if there is someone that I could and would trust, that would be no one but you two."

Hendrix is being sincere about what he said, and in his heart he is definitely trust them and wanted them to be his brothers.

"You don't even show us your powers?"

And Hendrix heard the things he don't wanna hear ever..

"Now that., here we go again.." as he turn around and hold the tree branch beside him.

"See, that's what I'm talking about.," said Elle.

"look, its not.." but before Hendrix finish his sentence, Elle cut him off.

"Listen., Marco and I decided to leave because we need to face our own life, our real life.,"

"what life.., I don't.." as he face Elle again.

"Let me finish my explanation please..."

"okay,," he close his eyes and start listening.

"We are not humans, we don't belong here., and so are you.."

"No.. thats.. tha.." as he try to interrupt.

"Not done yet.." said Elle.

"Okay.." as he listen again.

"Like what you already know we can do extra ordinary things that no ordinary human being can., and so are you., We left because you can't accept of who we are, you can't accept your true being, you don't believe in supernaturals and you don't even believe that you're an extra ordinary like us."

"Is that it? That's your reason.." he asked

"Not really, said Elle. "The truth is my dad sent me to Maeica, It is a planet or world like Earth with people like me."

"Is Marco with you?" Hendrix is now riding on the extra ordinary topic without realizing that he is actually believing it already.

"No, last time I check he went to a dangerous world called Valcore.." Elle told Henrix about Marco's whereabouts but he didn't give him the entire detail on how he figure it out.

"How many worlds are there.?" Hendrix asked confusedly.

"I don't know yet.. anyway listen., I came here with a purpose." Elle said like he is running out of time, he wanted to do his mission as soon as possible.

"and what is that?" Hendrix asked.

"Somebody who's dangerous is trying to find me and my dad and we need to get to him first before he does to us. All he need, is information about me and he is done."

"So anything I can help with.." Said Hendrix.

Without him knowing, Elle's mission is to erase all the memories he has with Hendrix. The memories inside Hendrix brain will help their enemy to accomplish everything whatever they're planning to.

"Yes., I want you to close your eyes.." as Elle instructed him, Hendrix did it without any hesitation because he really do trust his friend.

"To Ek Nom.." Elle cast a very strong and rare spell to his friend and according to an Elder Wizard, it will work to anybody, magical or non-magical being.

When Hendrix open his eyes, he immediately ask Elle about the unknown words that he just heard. "What's To Ek Nom..?"

Elle eyes widened as he remember what the Elder Wizard told him.. "Unless it use to someone who is more powerful than me or any Elder.."

"Elle, I beleive you and this supernatural thing you are talking about., I just don't believe its for me or for this world. You know why I don't want to believe in any of this, its because of my dream." Hendrix explained.

Elle look down, still hoping that Hendrix won't remember anything from their past anymore. "What dream?" Elle ask pretentiously.

"I can't believe you don't remember it, we were 10 years old then, during our 3rd grade year, we're playing at the Hillsons Park, wait., actually its only me and Marco are playing and you., you are sitting on the bench reading your favorite books.. we came and sit right next to you and I start.."

Hendrix words are getting cloudy like Elle couldn't hear them anymore., He did not expect this, not that the spell might not work, or maybe he mispronounce it, but no., he never encounter mistake when it comes to spell, especially on a very important spell. "Or maybe, the Elder Wizard is serious about what he said., Unless Hendrix is more powerful than any Elder there is.." as Elle speak to his mind.

Elle is shocked and could not believe that he may be standing in front of the most powerful being on Earth.. "But why Hendrix? Why can't you accept of who you are..," if only Elle can speak the words in his mind to Hendrix, but he does know Hendrix like no other, If Hendrix says no, it will always be no., It might take a lifetime for that to change or there is always a word, unless..

"Hendrix before I go, if you are truly a friend of mine., if what you said about us is true, that we are brothers.. I have a favor.."

"Anything my brother.." Hendrix said with a smile on his face.

"Can you find Marco for me.. I want to come back here with you and Marco." Elle had something in mind while asking the favor but it was him being smart.

"I will find Marco for us.. the next time we'll be here again, it will be you, me and Marco.. the three of us, together again., just like in my dream.." Hendrix said while shaking Elle's left shoulder like he always does whenever he promise something.

Elle smile, because he knew whenever Hendrix promise something he will make sure that it will come true whatever it takes.
