Marilyn Chapter 4: Genesis Years 1

Contributed by Charles Dean Walker

Before his name was Bagels his name was Brutus. His pelt was a mix of a silver grey, and a deep black. He was a wolf spirit of a medium build. One of two most angry spirits ever created by the goddess Aurora. His friend was always Nite the owl spirit of knowledge and truth. The second most angry spirit is Artos the Grizzly bear. His brown fur had a rabid unclean appearance that was unique from other bears. It’s unknown why he’s so angry, other spirits speculate he was born from the darkest part of Goddess Aurora’s heart.

Brutus hated him, because he’d killed his first pack. Remembering their bodies torn from his claws and sharp teeth. In the first fight between the two, was one of little timing nor, plan. Brutus met the same fate as his pack, leaving his body. Altos lived until age took him. Aurora brought them together into her heavenly body. Sometimes, the Gods make mistakes; this was her first of many others. Once the two spirits met again in their new forms, Heaven felt like Hell, so, she sent them back. They sense one another, all spirits can, that’s how Nite came to Bagels’s home. They made a plan to fight together. Sure, they’re consequences, but revenge is a drug.

Every night the dog and owl talked through Jackson’s window. Nite sat upon the closes branch, hooting to human ears. Bagel would quietly whimper. Chase was there too, far away enough for nobody to notice him. He’d felt creepy, even now he would, but he needed to trust the owl. They have a strong connection, understanding every spirit together, communicating as if they spoke the same native tongue. No other humans could do this, unless bonded to the spirit animals of Aurora’s kingdom. With Aurora, she’s visible to human eyes cause she’s got the ability to manipulate science to show herself while hiding.

She made herself Mother Nature, the animals are her believers. Humans unless bonded to her spirits, cannot see her face, body, nor hair. No human goes to her in death, without her approval. That’s how the owl was created.
