The Order of Events: The Red Wolf Read Online Free PDF

in the world. Climbing the tree, like a mad growing vine, was a tower of green stone that bore resemblance to that of the walls. It was as if another layer of bark to the great tree, and as it met the tree’s crown, it blossomed into a great chamber of stone, with a balcony to watch all who stood below its magnificence, the many leaves and limbs outstretched above looking as a great, green and flourishing halo, providing shade for those below who were harvesting fruit from many smaller trees surrounding the great one, each tree bearing a different fruit, apples, pears, and many others. The fruit all had a different look to them. They all glowed with an unnatural blue color when bitten into, and their skin was quite pale, varying red, green, and blue, pending the fruit.
              The warrior looked back at the children and called to those who dwelled inside the walls. “It is I, Kaimana of the Dawn Bringers. Open up, my friends. We are here in a moment of great urgency.”
              As the voice spread over the tall walls, reaching far, a beast of good nature was napping on a perch, outside his window. He lived in a small housing, built into the side of the great tree tower, about a quarter of its height up. Outside his stone housing, there was a wooden perching that protruded from within the stone form. It was the branch that the housing was built around. The beast in question was not just a beast, but a very characteristic one. He was an owl, but very much that of a man. He was sleeping peacefully on his wooden watch post, when he was awoken by the call from below, and opened his eyes. Surveying the walls and greenery below, his attention was called to the outermost walls, as he heard the plea repeated once more. Putting his spectacles onto his beak tip, the beast cleared his throat, and made his way, flying gracefully downwards for the outer gate.
              Kaimana backed away as he heard the heavy, stone doors creak, and recede inwards. The opening revealed the owl beast standing before them. He was wearing a fine cloak of dark green, with a puffy looking collar of the purest white around his neck, his arms like that of humans, fingers and all, but quite a great deal more feathery. He stood gripping his hands in front of himself, as he stood looking upon the visitors, speaking in a fine and distinct manner.               “Kaimana, my dear friend, how are you? It is so good to see you once more. What is the occasion that has called for your presence?”
              Kaimana dismounted his horse, and allowed it to wander past the feathery figure. The steed had seen the great walls before, and leaned its head on them, as one would a dear, old friend. “Hoosun, I need to speak to Dhahn right away, it is of great urgency. I have very little time.”
              Hoosun nodded his head in agreement, and looked at the twin children sitting upon the still serving horse. “Then you must see her now, my friend. Are these your children? How beautiful they have grown in the passing years.”
              Kaimana looked at the twins and removed his helmet, revealing his shoulder length, grayish hair, a three-notched, piercing in his left ear. The piercing was common amongst all his people, the number of notches showed the status of the bearer. His was one of high status, the status of a leader amongst his people. His face was serene, eyes bright green and calming, as he showed a caring smile to his children. “Yes, they are Hoosun. Would you be so kind as to take them in for me? Maybe show them around the grounds, while I talk with Dhahn?”
              Hoosun bowed respectfully, and grabbed the reins of the tiresome horse. “I shall do as you say, my friend, for it shall be my pleasure.”
              Kaimana patted his old friend on the back. “Thank you, my friend. Daughters, I want
