Deep within the forest of enmity
Prya hunts for a the unknown entity
She bares her spear from her father forged
She looks upon the prey the beast has gorged
She sniffs the air and turns around
Finally the beast has been found
Hiding in the darkness of the tree shade
It growls out loud as it begins to fade
Prya runs through the wooded zone
Not a trace of flesh found, nor a bone
A power jaw clamps down on her thigh
It tosses her like a piece of rye
Prya awakens to find he wound healed
Why had she not become a meal
She runs back home to find that her domain is destroyed
Thus she is sickened and annoyed
The day turns dark as the full moon shall rise
The moonlight lives and sunlight dies
Prya head begins to ache
Thus her mind begins to break
Her eyes turn yellow and her nose extends
She fall on her hand and her knees bend
Black fur covers her olive skin from toe to head
She runs away and thus she has fled
She runs and runs till she is tired and weak
Her future is grim if not bleak
Through the woods made of teak
New answers she begins to seek
A pond of water illuminates under the stars
She drinks the water as cold as steel bars
She looks at her own reflection
She wonders whether there is some misconception
The face of a wolf stares back at her
She stares at a face covered in fur
“Dear god what has begotten me?”
“Tell me I am not what I see.”
The heavens are quiet and give no pause
She runs to the village to search for the cause
She meets her parents whimpering in fear
She watches her brother covered in tears.
“Dear father, do you not know who I am?”
The father yells. “I know not who you are, but get away from my family and land.”
I must leave the place, which I was wrought
Between woman and beast thus I am caught
I know that it was who destroyed my domain
I am conscious, yet the beast is insane
For three days I run till I come to a village of greens skinned men
I am while I try to steal a wren
A female warrior comes and puts a muzzle on my face
Thus I am dragged in shame and disgrace
She wears the symbol of the steel boar tribe
Through her kindness I am still alive
I understand she is not my enemy
I am a part of her and she a part of me
The orc speaks. “Your are not a beast.”
“No I was once human, your enemy at the least.”
I fear the day has finally come
I begin to hear death’s drum
She carefully scratches the back of my ear
Thus I loose all of my fear.
The orc speaks again. “How can I call my sister my foe?
I am the arrow, and you are my bow.”
Thus through friendship my sadness is lightened
Honor and loyalty my eyes are brightened
Then came the awful war
Led by troll royalty, a prince of a whore
The craving for blood lingers on my tongue
I shall destroy the bastard troll dung
Two sides armed without fear
One side has battleaxe, the other holds spear
My sister pulls the reigns and I run
I shall not give until I have won
I ride through the trollish horde
As my rider slices them through with her sword
The scent of blood drives me mad
For an animal blood is not so bad
My rider is thrown of my back
Through the confusion I cannot track
Troll and orc lying on the ground
Foolish warriors sleep without sound
For hours or seconds I do not know
I cannot see through the carnage where I must go
I find my sister lying dead.
Mighty Liang was broken and bled
Oh sister I begin to think
To my humanity you were my only link
How I missed the days when we sat on the grass
Looking over the mountain mass
How she fed me every day
How she smiled as I would play
A new rage rises, as my eyes turn red
My thirst for blood must be fed
I tackled the troll to the earth
Thus I thrash him with all my girth
I thrash him with my jaws around his neck bone
He gasps as he releases his final moan
The battle is over, the orc have won
I look at the dripping blood, what have I done
I Prya now a witch
I let a howl, a mournful pitch
Thus I run away again
For my sins, how could I amend?
I lay within the desert sun
To weary to growl, or to run
I feel the heat broil my brain
I hope to die, for nature’s bane.
I awaken and I am chained
My soul is torn and my heart is maimed
Thus the earth begins to thunder
As I look up to bovine wonder
A giant man with the head of a cow
Larger than my imagination can allow
He says. “Welcome wolf born of man.”
“How do you know my name? I do not understand.”
“I am Wei the Ancient Bovine.
I am here by spiritual design.
Your coming was seen by medicine witches.
We shall heal your wounds and your heart’s stitches.”
I yell at him. “What do you know of my pain?”
“I know it was caused by a friend that was slain.”
I shut my mouth and listen to him rumble
The very air moves at his grumble
The minotaur beast breaks my chain
Thus my freedom I obtain.
I look into those eyes
Wisdom of ages, therein lye.
The bull gives a gentle grin
Intellect as sharp as a pin
He speaks. “I shall teach you to become more whole.”
I ask. “What would be your goal?”
He responds. “I am sworn to help those in need.”
His mighty voice I do heed.
Years I spent in meditation
Feeling different in a new sensation
I learn to change from beast woman
Thus I am almost human
Though human I can be for three days
Then I change back black, silver and gray
I try and ache to change back to what I once was
To get rid of the snout and the fuzz
“Master why can I not become human once more.”
The tauren answers. “You are a human wolf, that is your core.
You are what you are, that can never change,
A new life you must now rearrange.”
“There is no point to me being here.” I feel betrayed.
I wanted humanity, that was all I prayed
I leave my master in the dust
To search for new answers I now lust
I travel deep into the human city
Thus a creature named Ackbar takes some pity
Gives me shelter for the night
I hide from him my bestial might
Three days pass and I run into the night
Thus I am hidden from human sight
I change back, and I am again free
To my shock Ackbar sees me
I run through the city as people scream
I am unfit to live among them I deem
They surround me and I captured once more
By their swords I shall be tore
Then something happens that gives me surprise
Thus I begin to hear Ackbar’s voice rise
“She is my sheepdog can you not see.
Go away and let her be.”
I am astonished and confused at the same time
Thus I wonder if he is blind
He gives me his hand and takes me back to his home
In my room he leaves me alone
Years go and I still do not understand
Why am welcome on his land
I finally ask. “Do you know what I am?”
Ackbar turns. “You are Prya if I understand.”
“Play no game, you know of what I speak.”
“If I saw you in wolf form, I believe I took a peak.”
“Then why did you not let me die?”
“Who am I to judge such a good friend of my.”
Tears begin to roll down my face
Thus he holds my chin in gentle grace
I put my face in his shoulder and weep
Such a friend from a dream like sleep
I feel love for the first time
My soul jumbles like oceanic brine
Ackbar, Wei and Liang are in my soul
They have held me as I took on my life’s role
Lover, master and finally friend
All looked after me as my heart begins to mend
As he was there for me, so shall I for him
We shall be one in times of grim
I hold him and he feels no fear
In his heart I am forever near
I protect him from all harms
I wish to hold him forever in my arms.
