by Gh0stw0lf » Mon Dec 20, 2010 1:19 am The smell of pine trees is enough to wake me from my slumber in the woods, I feel large tender spot on my head. I gingerly touch it and realize I don't know where I am. My past is a hazy and tumultuous one. I never knew my father, perhaps that is the reason I turned out this way, lost and without a home. I soon notice that the sun is beginning to set, I apparently slept all day, and hastily I begin to grab branches off trees to make my fire for the night and to ward off boars or worse, bears.
The crackling of the fire starts as soon as the sun sets. "Perfect Timing" I think to myself as I hold some rabbit flesh over the open flame to eat for the night. As i the flesh cooks I begin to wonder about my situation and I how I came to get lost in the woods, separated from my brother. My brother...He is 5 years younger than me, scarcely old enough to fend for himself much less fight off a boar. It was at that exact moment I hear a crashing sound in the woods, startled I grab the nearest thing next to me to use as a weapon, my stone axe. As the crashing subsided, the silence after the noise was overwhelming and deafening as my imagination ran wild with what could have caused the sound. I had heard stories about ruthless murderers, speaking in strange tongue they call "Russian" pillaging entire villages and killing everyone. As my thoughts ran amok in my head, I scarcely noticed the figure appearing from the shadows. First the black nose protruded then the black, beady eyes followed by the immense body the size of a cabin. It was a bear.
I stayed breathless for a few moments and then in a flash, I turned and ran for my life into the forest. I could hear the monster behind me rampaging through the woods in its effort to catch me knocking down small trees and tearing through anything else unlucky enough to get in its way. As I ran, I could feel my legs giving out underneath me getting me closer to the maw of death behind me. It was at the moment I heard the light running of water. 'WATER!' I almost screamed out delirious with hope, if I could get there and swim far enough away sure enough the damned bear would lose interest! As I approached the source of the sound, it turned out to be a river but either way I could go far enough in and lose the bear. The thought no sooner crossed my head when I felt four sharp claws dig into my back and rip my linen shirt. The pain was overwhelming and I dropped to my knees in agony, the bear had finally caught me, I rolled over to face my death when I saw the bear going for the death bite when I hear a loud crack and the bear comes crashing down nearly on top of me. Dead.
Though my vision was blurred from the pain I managed to see the silhouette of my savior standing to the distance with a bow in his hands. I reach up weakly to thank him but then I black out.
Damn bear.
**This is the story of my 2nd character (if you hadn't guessed that) Sacagawiener and his start in the world to where I am now. Obviously its told from a certain point a view and much more descriptive to make it more interesting but this is my story. I will be updating daily so just tell me how you all like it and any improvements, thanks.
