At the Heart of Everything

Part 2

I never got any sleep for the rest of the night, my mind continually replaying the events that happened only a few hours ago. I didn’t try to stop him; I just laid there, wondering why this wolf was trying to kill me. So I was shocked to see that at the last possible second he buried the blade into the bed instead of me. A silence followed, we just looked at each other in the eye, looking for reasons to our actions. But when we couldn’t find any he just walked out, I only moved when I heard the door to his room slam shut.

I sat there, the blade in my hand as I examined it; the knife was indeed a rare item, the blade made from polished silver while the hilt was darkened steel. This was a blade that I had seen many times before in my life, especially during the war. It was the weapon of an assassin, Jasper was here to kill me, so why didn’t he? Questions plagued my mind for hours on end till I couldn’t handle it anymore.

Going downstairs I made myself a cup of tea, placed the weapon on the table and just gazed out of the window. The first rays of orange and red were showing, yet in my bones I could feel that this sunrise was a warning. Sighing I walked outside and stood in the centre of my garden, closing my eyes I began to listen to the sounds of the earth.

I was out there for a while; I didn’t even come out of my trance till I heard the smallest of sounds behind me. Turning I found Jasper standing in the open doorway, his amber eyes focussed on me. I gave him a nod of my head and walked inside, not saying anything and just taking a seat at the table.

“The kettle may need re-boiling if you want to have a cup of tea.” I said to him as the silence between us continued.

“Thank you Drait.” The wolf said softly, his voice not revealing anything out of the ordinary but still possessed that same unnerving feeling in my bones.

Jasper stood behind me, I could feel him watching me, waiting for me to say something to him. I took a sip of my tea and shook my head softly. “So are we going to talk about what happened last nigh?” Jasper didn’t reply, he just stayed silent, until he walked round and took a seat opposite me. He looked at the blade on the table then looked me in the eyes.

“What do you want to know?”

Well first of all Jasper, I would like to know who you are, then I wouldn’t mind if you told me why you tried to kill me last night. Finally I want to know why you didn’t kill me.”

The wolf looked down at the tea in his paws, watching as the steam from it floated up and dissipated into the air. “My full name is Jasper Obsidian Longfur the 3rd. I come from the capital city in the mammalian territory.”

“Your name is Longfur?” I asked softly, that name familiar to me and the events of last night beginning to slot into place slowly.

“Yes, I am the youngest son of the Longfur clan. Like you our clan has special abilities. I was chosen to be captured and to be sent to a slavers auction near to where you live, in the hope that I would be purchased by you. Ultimately my mission was to kill you for your participation in the Great War.” He said softly, not meeting my eyes. I wasn’t sure what I should say, I knew that I should turn him over to the authority but another part of me wanted to explain to him who I was.

“I regret my participation in the war. I never wanted anything to with it.” Ii said standing up and turning my back on him, looking out the window and gazing up to the sky. “I was young, forced to join the army, I saw the destruction and the sorrow that my species caused to yours. I regret everything I did, but I never took a life. I never killed a single one of you. But that still doesn’t make up for my actions, actions that ultimately helped to win the war.”

“So why didn’t you stop? Why didn’t you just run and stop helping those who caused my peoples suffering?” He threw back at me, anger in his voice.

“Because there was no where I could have run to, everybody knew my face, and I would have been hunted. I would have been running for the rest of my life. I just wanted to get it over with, some times to have a simple life you have to do things you’ll ultimately regret.” I explained to him, hoping that he would understand.

“That’s no excuse; you should have done what was right. Your species has always been brutish. But your family, the Hope clan, have always stayed out of wars, they are said to be watchers, guardians and protectors of the elements. So why didn’t you.” He pleaded with me, wanting an explanation to my actions.

I turned and faced him looking into his eyes. “I was young, only just 13 years of age; I am not just a member of the Hope clan. I am the last survivor of the Hope clan. My family were killed when I was just a hatchling.” I told him, pain in my voice as I relieved those dark days in my mind.

The wolf looked at me with shock. “What happened to them?” He asked me, looking me deep in the eyes.

“Remember the year when there was natural disaster after another, the whole world thrown into chaos as we didn’t know what was causing them. Well my family went to put a stop to it; we found out that someone had captured the very essence of the great mother. Using her power to bring our world to its knees, my family gave their lives to stop him, leaving me to carry the name of Hope. And the responsibility that comes with it.”

Jasper went silent after that, the silence that descended was broken by the ringing of my communication system. “Excuse me a second, I better see who this is.” Jasper just nodded and I went into the front room to answer my receiver. “This is Drait Hope.”

“Master Hope, this is Envari Sparks, I’m the head of central intelligence, we have a situation and need you help in dealing with it.”

“What kind of situation are you talking about?” I asked, trying to get this conversation as soon as possible.

“National security, we have an intruder in our territory, a very dangerous individual and we would like your input of how we could deal with it.”  

“When would you want me Mr Sparks?”

“As soon as possible, in fact we have sent someone to come and pick you up; our field agent should be with you shortly. Thank you Master Hope.” With that he hung up.

Putting the receiver down I let out a growl of frustration. Jasper came in and looked at me, “Who was it?”

“Somebody wanting my help, I have to go out for a few hours. But when I get back we’ll talk some more.” I walked around the front room, grabbing my jacket and keys. “You are to stay here, it’s better for you if you do, it will be safer, feel free to eat what you want and do anything you want, within reason of course. Just don’t leave the premises. You got that?” I ask him.

“I understand. Thank you Drait, if it means anything, your file doesn’t do justice.” He smiled at me, that smile made me smile and in that second I didn’t want to leave, I didn’t want to leave. I just wanted to wrap my arms around him and hold him close to me.

“I’ll be back, promise.” With that I walked out the door, just in time to see a brown scaled drake landing in my driveway.

“Master Drait? I am field agent Garth. I am under orders to escort you to HQ.” I nodded my head and threw my jacket on. The drake took off, I took a last look t my house and with one powerful sweep of my wings I took to the sky, following close behind him.

The flight took about an hour, Garth led me to the Felex forest, and deep in it I saw a black path devoid of trees. That’s when I saw the building, Large and highly advanced, bits of technology sticking out of the roof and sides. We landed directly in front of the main entrance. Garth shook his wings before turning to me. “The commander is inside waiting for you.” He said before taking off again and heading south.  

Walking in the scent of sterilisation burned the inside of my nostrils. Looking around I saw another scaly, this time it was a snake. He looked at me with those green eyes, studying me for a few seconds before smiling and walking over. “Master Hope, I’m Commander Drason, please walk this way.” Without another word he walked off down a corridor to the left.

I followed him in silence, a unnerving feeling began to settle in my stomach, something was very wrong and I wasn’t sure I wanted to know what it was. Commander Drason led me down the hallway until he stopped at a door with the word, ‘Briefing Room’ on it. “Please go on in and we’ll begin.”

After taking a seat the snake then turned off the lights and powered up a projector, he clicked a button and an image came up of the boarder between the two territories. “At around 7pm four days ago we had a breech. Somebody came through the barrier between the territories. Even though we don’t have an image, our intelligence informs us that it was a very dangerous individual that belongs to the Longfur clan.”

My heart instantly became a rock and sank to my feet. I kept a blank expression on my face and looked at the commander, “Longfur clan?” I asked, playing dumb.

“Sir the Longfur clan is basically the mammalian version of your own clan, may they rest in peace. We believe that this individual has come here to kill our lord Vexin. If the mammalians are able to assassinate our Leader then that would give them the perfect opportunity to mount an attack on our boarders. I can not stress enough how important it is that we apprehend this intruder.”

“What information do you have on the Longfur clan commander? If I knew what kind of abilities they had then I could advise you on improving security as well as hopefully predict how this assassin may carry out this attack.” I just wanted to get out of here, I needed to get home and get Jasper to safety.

Drason grabbed a file from a draw and passed it to me, “this is all the intelligence we have on them. I admit that it isn’t much but I hope that it will do for you.” I nodded my head and stood up.

“Well commander, I will return home and start work immediately, you should expect a call from me in about two days. I need to go through everything and try to anticipate any movements this person may make.” The snake smiled at me and shook my hand.

“Thank you for all your help, and for your involvement in the ware, personally I believe if you hadn’t been there we may have lost that war.” I just nodded my head and shook his hand back.

“You are quite welcome, now if you will excuse me.” Without waiting for his permission I walked out. Walking calmly to the door, clutching the file in my hand tightly, the urgency to get home building up. The moment I stepped outside the door I instantly took to the sky, using all my strength and speed to get back to Jasper.

The flight back took me nearly half the time then the flight there did. I practically crashed through the front door. “Jasper! Jasper where are you?” I called out throwing the file onto the sofa and grabbing to bags from the closet.

“I’m here Drait.” The wolf said as he walked down stairs with a questioning look. I threw him a bag and began to pack my own with things that we would need.

“We need to leave; now, there are some clothes in the spare bedroom that may fit you. But hurry up, pack anything you may need and be ready to leave in the hour.” I said urgently.

“What the hell is going on Drait? Why do we need to leave?

“You were spotted crossing the boarders, central intelligence believe that you are here to kill lord Vexin. They know that you are a member of the Longfur clan, but they don’t know what you look like. But I bet it won’t take them long to track you down to the slave auction, which will lead them here.”

“Oh my god, you’re right, but why are you packing as well?” He asked as he headed to the spare bedroom.

“Because I am going to help you get back to the mammalian territories, back to your clan, your family. You need a guide to help you get through our territory.” I replied as I packed some of my own clothes. Jasper didn’t reply, but I could hear him in the spare bedroom, packing his own bag.

20 minutes later we were ready to go. Jasper was just upstairs getting a few last things while I waited downstairs. “Jasper please hurry up, we need to get a fair distance before they search here.”

“Just 5 more minutes Drait, I’m nearly done.” He yelled back down at me.

My foot was tapping with impatience, we needed to have left by now. I thought to myself, every instinct in my body was telling me that we had already wasted too much time here, we needed to leave immediately.

That was when I heard a noise behind me, but before I could turn to see what it was, pain exploded at the back of my neck. I let out a loud yell as darkness began to cloud my vision and I felt myself drifting out of consciousness.  As I feel to the floor I could here movement. I laid there on the floor, feeling myself slip away, the last thing I heard split my soul.

“DRAIT HELP!” That was when I fell unconscious.

 

I woke up slowly, the back of my head throbbing with a dull pain, getting up on my feet I looked around. The place was destroyed; everything in the front room was trashed. That’s when I remembered, “Jasper? Jasper where are you?” I called out urgently, running upstairs and looking around. But he wasn’t here, he had been taken, somebody had found him, and now I was going to get him back.

I went back downstairs and found the file on the Jaspers clan. I knew I would need as much information as I could get, and I also knew one other thing. I was going to get Jasper back to his home, and kill anyone who would get in my way.
