A little bit of what I am working on…
This is from “Shadow Ghouls of Nergus”, which is #4 in the epic Dark Fantasy series BENJAMIN JONES.
“He saw himself changing into a wolf, because he was the leader of the pack and he already knew and felt that very well. He indeed felt proud of his change. Perhaps he should’ve felt fear at such transformation, but he did not because the essence of the wolf lived already in his mind…
Maybe it had lived inside him ever since he had been taken by wolves as a baby (see series #1). But, as the incredible alteration took place, his strength grew and grew. His mind merged with the animal’s, and then it all became clearer…
The wolf saw everything. The wolf did not overthink anything. The wolf feared nothing. The wolf allowed instinct to guide him. Benjamin Jones was the wolf now, and the journey into his subconscious was understood…
“Whoooaaa!” exclaimed Shadow, then flew to him and started touching him. “You’re a wolf, Ben! And you’re really fluffy. So fluffy. Yeah, so—”…
…The wolf, who was now Ben, growled softly and then took off. There was a pier or dock really close to them, right on the other side of some trees and bushes. He stood on the planks of the pier’s end and became really silent.
He stared straight into the mist above the waters, waiting for something or someone to arrive. Wolf boy’s soul and Shadow came to him instantly, then they waited with him for several seconds. Nobody said anything…
“So…” Shadow finally started. “Do you have fleas, Ben?? Do you?? Do you?? Because Kushim gave me a book, and I read the book, and the book said some wolves have fleas. So, do you have fleas, Ben?? Do you?? Do you??”…
The wolf seemed so focused and alert that nothing disturbed him. He just remained still while peering through the night and haze above water…
“Shhh…” shushed the hero’s soul while pointing at an approaching form beyond the mist. “Shadow, look—”…
The form pierced through the heavy mist and soon became a welcomed shape. The simple boat, more like a big gondola, moved with ease over the calmed waters of the lake. And they noticed that someone was driving it with great skill, and so he was using a rowing oar to gracefully get to them…
The ferryman or creature soon appeared out of the darkness, and they saw that he was tall and shrouded, and they also saw that his hands were not there and that his face was emptiness itself.”…
Hope you enjoyed that. I really like to make my characters and situations fun, not only for the reader but for me as the writer.
