Hello everyone! This book has been created as a personal request from sketchywolf, so credits of the idea go to him. There is also one idea in here that is something I got from the profile of another fanfiction author called theghostking, so no copyright please. I don't want people shoving copyright claims down my throat so there. (That was a really weird sentence, shoving copyright claims down throats) I hope you like the book and thanks for reading any of my books! - Steven
Child of the Moon
Chapter 1: The Birth of A Hero
It happened in the blink of an eye on one dark night. It had been quite a somber day when she found out that he had died in an accident, the causes unknown. She knew that she couldn't take care of him, because eventually the others would find out. Her restrictions were greater than others, and she didn't know how they would react if they found out. So she left him in the forest, to see if he can prosper there. The alternative was… well, if he couldn't live, then it was probably for the best. She set him down in a clearing of grass and kissed him on the forehead.
"Stay here sweetheart. You'll be safe. Someday, in another time, hopefully I can come back for you. Live on, my son." She left a nametag with the name Zack inscribed upon it before flashing away, tears in her eyes.
But she didn't notice that an eagle had been flying in circles overhead, watching the entire procession progress. Once she had left the baby here in the forest, the eagle swooped down and landed on a branch in a pine tree. It stared at the baby, and the baby stared back. Suddenly, the baby pointed at the eagle and started to laugh. The eagle stared for a bit longer before flying away, crying out before circling back, as if it was leading someone. It then landed back on its branch. That was true, because a few minutes later two people entered the clearing. One was a women with red hair while the other was a man that resembled a certain goddess.
"Why was that eagle crying out? It looked like it was leading us here, but- Jon, there's a child here!" the women exclaimed.
"You're right Amber!" replied Jon.
They both rushed over to have a look at him. Jon turned to the eagle, who was still sitting on the branch, staring at all three of them. "You lead us here for some reason. You want us to take care of this boy? I want answers!" Jon demanded. The eagle nodded, or at least he thought so. It's hard to know if an eagle nodded at you or not. Amber put her hands on his shoulders.
"Calm down." she said sternly but calmly as well. "Tell me what you saw in your dream again." Jon sighed at that.
"I've told you a million times, Mom just told me that there would be a time that someone special would come, and that we should take him- wait, you think that it's him?" Amber nodded.
"Wasn't there another thing that she said?" she asked him. "Yeah." Jon replied. "Something about a friend of hers that she taught a certain birth trick."
"Look at his eyes then Jon. What do you think now?" Jon did have a look and he gasped at what he boy's eyes were silver and bright, like the full moon that shone that night.
"You don't think… you don't think that Mom taught her on how to have a brain child?"
"Exactly." Amber said triumphantly. "That's why you've been having that dream. Your mom wanted you to find him. I guess the eagle helped as well." Jon turned to thank the eagle, but looked in shock as it was gone.
"When did it leave?" he muttered, picking up the baby. He looked at him before looking up and speaking to the sky, "Well done Mother, well done. At least you don't need to send that dream to me anymore, please?" Thunder boomed once at that. Amber crouched down and picked something up.
"Jon, look at this." she said. They both looked over the nametag left with the baby.
"Then she wants him to be named Zack then." Jon said. "We can easily respect that. How about a last name then?" "Wolf." Amber replied, looking down at the now sleeping baby in Jon's arms. "Zack Wolf." Jon nodded in approval.
"Sounds good. Let's get him back to the house then." As they both walked away, they didn't realize how important of a decision they had made. They wouldn't have known, but if they did, they would have been shocked to learn that they would be raising a chosen hero, one whose name would go down in history and live on forever. He was Zack Wolf, child of the moon.
For anyone that is confuzzled, this is an AU. Hopefully I wrote this good and pleased sketchywolf, because it is his idea of course. Please review me on how I did, because this isn't really in my repeirtoire. I have never really written a book like this one, and it's another person's idea as well. Thanks everyone! - Steven
P.S. This chapter was so short because it starts off the series and it's an introduction chapter. Sorry about that. The next few chapters will be longer, I swear it on my soul. (That was also a weird sentence I'm weird okay? Don't judge me)
