On the outskirts of an ancient forest lay an old village, named Wolf-village, forgotten by the people of this world.

During the evening a short while before sunset the markets were filled with people getting the last of the food that was being sold for the day, in preparation for their last meal of the day before they went to bed.

Walking down the streets bustling with people, a young boy named Kaleb was being escorted by a Village Elder to a secret location outside of Wolf-village.

The Village Elder and the young boy arrived at a clearing inside of the ancient forest.

As they arrived rustling noises could be heard from the surrounding bushes at the outermost region of the clearing.

The Village Elder tensed up, which went unnoticed by the young boy Kaleb.

As more people walked out from the bushes that were emitting rustling noises moments before, they stepped into the clearing, and as they did the Village Elder besides Kaleb relaxed a bit, while still maintaining his vigilance.

Kaleb looked up at the Village Elder and asked him “Elder Sloan can you tell me whats going on yet? All you told me was that the village chief ordered you to bring me here.”

Elder Sloan turned and glared hatefully at Kaleb “Quiet boy, all you need to know is you and the others have been ordered by the chief to be gathered here.”

Kaleb sighed, he knew that Elder Sloan wasn’t fond of him but he didn’t think a simple question would anger him.

A voice called out from behind Kaleb and Elder Sloan “Brother Sloan, no need to be angry at the boy, besides he’s one of the few lucky chosen, now Kaleb i’m sorry for Brother Sloan’s foul mood, but you all will learn why we are her when everyone has arrived.” Kaleb looked behind him surprised “Oh Elder Eli you’re here to.”

Elder Sloan’s Face grew ugly “Brother Eli there’s no need for such words, I was merely reminding the boy that the orders from the village chief are to be followed, not questioned, but that hardly apply’s to you the privileged Village chief’s son.” he sneered at Elder Eli.

Kaleb knew these two didn’t get along, but he wasn’t expecting them to start arguing here, in front of so many people.

Elder Eli laughed at Elder Sloan’s words as he mocked him. “Brother Sloan’s words are true, but they are also spoken with jealousy and malice laced within, but no matter the village chief has arrived, let us all gather to hear what he has to announce.”

Kaleb and all the other children that the other Elders brought here were crowded around the Village Chief awaiting his words.

As the village chief looked down upon all the people, gathered below him awaiting his orders, he was filled with a sense of pride knowing he ruled these people and held their fragile lives in the palms of his hand, he cleared his throat before speaking.

“Welcome young ones you have all been chosen to undergo this special rite, that will make our village prosper for many years to come, now I will let my son Elder Eli tell you what this is all about.”

Elder Eli walks up the steps onto the raised platform and faces the crowd. “Thank you father, now to the point all of the children here are turning fourteen years old at the stroke of midnight tonight, which is in ten minutes, turning you from children into adults and this is the rite of passage you will undergo, but instead of explaining the boring details, i will leave you all with a hint, when this flame i just lit burns out marking the time as midnight all you need to do is look up at the moon and you will all know why you are here.”
