class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not ordinary silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not the quiet stillness of falling snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This silence felt ancient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The royal hunters stood frozen beneath towering dead pines while icy wind howled across the cliffside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No one dared breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the massive black wolf standing behind the child was impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its shoulders rose nearly as high as a horse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silver scars crossed its enormous body like ancient battle marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its glowing blue eyes reflected through the storm with terrifying intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And every wolf surrounding the hunters waited for one thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The little boy stood barefoot in the snow, trembling violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His thin clothes were torn nearly to rags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His cheeks were hollow from hunger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet somehow\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The monsters of the forest stood behind him like loyal soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wolf cub pressed itself against his leg protectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The royal hunter holding the flaming arrow slowly lowered his bow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His face had gone pale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo\u2026\u201d he whispered. \u201cIt cannot be him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An older hunter near the back fell to one knee immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Marked Blood,\u201d he breathed shakily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several soldiers stared at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat are you talking about?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

kings before the empire.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The snowstorm intensified violently around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe forest wolves only obeyed one bloodline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The little boy looked confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m nobody,\u201d he said softly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the gigantic wolf behind him suddenly growled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A deep thunderous sound that shook snow from the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldiers backed away instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One accidentally dropped his spear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wolf\u2019s glowing eyes snapped toward him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And suddenly every wolf in the forest growled together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sound was horrifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like death breathing through the woods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEasy\u2026\u201d the child whispered nervously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instantly the wolves quieted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hunters stared in disbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The little boy looked even more frightened than they were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He slowly turned toward the giant wolf behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI-I don\u2019t understand\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The beast lowered its massive head beside him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then something impossible happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

his voice shook badly now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant wolf ignored him completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead it focused entirely on the

could see ancient symbols carved faintly beneath the creature\u2019s black fur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Runes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Burned directly into

trembled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey said my mother was hiding traitors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant wolf\u2019s eyes slowly turned toward

desperately, \u201cWe didn\u2019t know\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant wolf\u2019s growl shook the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

down\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every man there already understood the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The forest did not protect ordinary children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old hunter slowly removed his hood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tears filled his eyes as he stared at Elias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe knows,\u201d he whispered. \u201cThe king knows the bloodline survived.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old hunter grabbed Elias urgently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou must run.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elias looked down at the frightened wolf cub still pressed against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then at the endless army approaching through the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI can\u2019t outrun soldiers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant wolf rose slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Snow spiraled violently around its massive body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cYou will not run alone.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wolves surrounding the cliffside stepped forward together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dozens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then hundreds emerging from the forest beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Glowing eyes filled the darkness between the trees like stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old hunter whispered in awe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe entire forest answered him\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The giant wolf looked toward the approaching army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its glowing eyes hardened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cThe kingdom hunted our blood for generations.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wolves growled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the giant wolf looked at Elias one final time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And bowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A kingly bow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The kind given only to rulers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every wolf in the forest bowed with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The soldiers watching looked utterly horrified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because beasts did not kneel to humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unless the stories were true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unless the forest itself had chosen its king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elias backed away shakily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019re bowing to me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wolf\u2019s voice echoed like thunder inside their minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cNo, little king.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The storm intensified violently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trees bent beneath screaming wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wolves\u2019 eyes blazed brighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And somewhere deep beneath the frozen earth\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Something ancient awakened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
