Eirik the Great

"Alpha Smoke?" The pup whined to his leader, mildly afraid of the Cryptid Wolf."May I speak with you...?"

"You may, Eirik. What troubles you, young one?" The larger wolf spoke- not physically, as his maw was closed around a branch that never seemed to stop burning. Was it the powers of the Cryptid Wolf himself? Eirik gulped before speaking.

"I-I want to travel...!" The adolescent male squeaked out. "I-I was visiting with Lady Reika, and she said-"

"Peace." The Alpha rumbled. "I know of the conversation between you and the Mother of Travels. But before I cast my verdict, you must calm yourself. You need not fear me. I am not going to harm you, little one. Why would I, your Alpha, harm you in any way, when you are my packmate and one that I look to as my own kin? You are different, as am I. I, a Cryptid, and you born with a mutation to your fur. Rest and let your heart find peace; Cryptid I may be, but I am no monster."

Eirik felt a ripple of calm stir his fur, but then it heated up in shame. Here he was, standing before his Alpha, afraid of the very same being who had been providing for him all this time.

"I'm sorry, Alpha. I don't mean to be such a coward." Eirik whined, hanging his head in shame. However, Smoke merely laughed.

"Peace, young one. You are not the first to express your fears of me. Many of our allies do, and every time I do nothing but restore their faith in me. I bring home the pelts and trophies of my fellow Merged Cryptids; symbols of my kills. Symbols of my strength, which is allied to this beautiful world we call home.

Tell me something, young one. You wish to leave out into the unknown, even during these frightening times?" The Alpha seemed to urge for an honest answer, as though worried for the young male.

"I do." Eirik responded. "I want to go out and help save the world. Like our friends do."

"Like I do?" The larger male asked.

"...Yes. Like you do, Alpha. I want to provide for the world. I want to be a hero."

"Then be that hero, my son. And return to me with head held high and eyes as sharp as an eagle's talons. Go forth, Eirik the Great, and bring light into the darkness."
