Two Moons

Prologue

Two moons shone in the bright night sky.

A wisp of white light gleamed across the sky like a comet, yet it wasn't exactly that. It was an odd feeling- everyone felt it. Moonlight shone so brightly, illuminating the trees.

Yes below there was a cave. Two caved that yawned wide into a area with a flat boulder between. A dragon stood at one end, and a wolf at the other.

The crimson-orange dragon tapped his talons on the table, staring at the other large wolf in front of him. This wolf was much bigger than any ordinary wolf, his eyes sparked with an unreadable emotion. He was dark grey, a tiny bit of a bluish sheen and darker patches of his fur.

The table was a large boulder flattened and smoothed. The cave was dim, lit by a few torches put clumsily on the wall. Stalactites hung from the ceiling, and a distant dripping echoed from the nearby caves the two tunnels on opposite sides led to.

“You let this happen?” He let out a low growl.

“Yes, it was hard to stop it- it was basically inevitable.” The wolf lashed his tail in frustration.

There was a long pause before the wolf spoke.

“Something bad happened. Something bad is happening.” The wolf growled.

“Yes, indeed.”

“We must find them. They might have the Power.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, the Power. The Power is said to be overwhelming at first, and they both seemed.. overwhelmed.”

The dragon nodded, flicking his wings that glowed like fire in the torches’ dim light.

“We’ll find them.” The dragon said, folding his wings back against his sides.

The wolf nodded, not saying a word.

“And you’ll help, I'm assuming.” The dragon flicked his tail.

“I never wanted to work with you, I can do whatever I want.”

“And guess who’d stop you?”

“Listen,” The wolf snarled, leaping onto the stone table. “You may be a dragon with your... scales and wings, but know I am stronger than you. I can do more than any other wolf.” He lashed his tail and backed away, jumping onto the stone floor.

The dragon twitched his tail, irritated.

They nodded to each other, then walked away, talonsteps and pawsteps echoing through the tunnel.
