Chapter 11 - Ren and Grey

We rode in silence for a few minutes, each of us lost in our own thinks. I had so many questions in my head and no clue where to start. Ren stood up from her seat and turned to face me and stepped closer. “Grey, I wish to share with you what I remember,” She begins. I could tell she only speaks to me as the others did not make any inclination they had heard her. “It is one of my oldest memories and I had forgotten it until I heard the human girl say chimera. It was sealed away in my mind. I will share the actual memory instead of telling you.” I nodded to her to begin. I heard her whisper in my mind as she narrated what I was seeing. “I was very young, practically a newborn at the time. My parents preferred the form of the wolf and usually remained as such. I cannot remember what our true form is although I wish for it every day. You see, I am unable to transform into something unless I can visualize it in my mind. My parents were always wolves to me and I never see what I looked like before so I can never return to my true form.” A wave of sadness passed through me and I feel her loss as if my own.

She continued, “My father was out hunting for food one day and my mother stayed with me as I was unable to take care of myself. We were at our home playing when the oddest thing happened to me. We were playing tag when a flock of birds flew by overhead. One minute, I was jumping in the air after her and the next my body was transforming and I was flying. I crashed almost immediately as I had never done it before. I was scared and calling out for my mother when she appeared before me comforting me. She calmed me down and explained what had happened to me. That I had transformed because I was a Chimera and that I could be anything I wanted. She told me that I developed the ability much earlier than she had, she then coached me on how to transform at will. It took me a while but I finally got it down pat and transformed into a wolf to match them. I eagerly awaited the return of my father to show him what I was able to do. While we waited my mother taught me how to fly by transforming into a bird as well.” Her voice cut out in my mind as grief washed over her. The memories were extremely hard for her to share as they feel fresh in her mind.

“Father didn’t return home until late that evening, much later than he should have. I was in wolf form when he limped into camp with blood matting his fur and collapsed near us. He told us that hunters were near and that we had to run, to leave him there and he would stall them.
