Beyond Space & Time

100 years have passed. Wolfie, the eternal companion of Zilla, had not aged a day, but he felt like he had aged hundreds. His behavior was more akin to an old man who had become numb to everything in the world. At first Wolfie was saddened when everyone in the gang had started to pass away. He liked how Alistar always had big feasts with amazing food. He enjoyed the way Tarana would sometimes scratch behind his ears when Zilla visited. He enjoyed his conversations with Yve, however one sided they were. He enjoyed running through the forest with the beast king Asura. He liked sleeping on Bonita's lap after she had a long day of work. But slowly those good times faded. One by one, they all left the world, but none of them affected him more than Zilla. He had such a strong attachment to her, that once she passed and it was severed...he was never the same. He thought, nay hoped, that maybe when she was gone he would too. But no. His power just returned to her, along with everything that Zilla was. It tormented him, but also kept him on Earth. The reason for that was because of a promise he made with both Zilla and Yve. Yve knew about her immortality being passed to her children, and Zilla knew that one day she would leave Wolfie alone, so both asked/told Wolfie to watch after the children of Yve. Specifically Atlas, who was the one who seemed to inherit it, seeing as how the last of the children of Yve was about to pass. Wolfie headed to the dying child's death bed on what was sure to be a very sad event.

Wolfie did not make his presence known, although with Apollo's abilities Atlas could probably sense him there. He was hanging far back away from the funeral but he could see everything. The sadness. The despair of losing a loved one. He recalled the feeling vividly. Another curse of being a being such as himself. Wolfie sighed as he watched Atlas. She seemed to be hanging back for some reason. Shame, since she knew Apollo the longest. Also, from the last time he saw her she hadn't aged much. Something she got from her mother. Ugh. Being on Earth certainly gave Wolfie migraines. If it wasnt for those promises to Yve and Zilla he would never have come back.

From his perch Wolfie could see that Atlas was falling behind the others as they left her behind. He was...slightly curious as to why she was lagging back. Should he speak with the child? Out of all of Yve's children Wolfie spoke to Atlas the least. Perhaps it was due to the fact that she was so young, or at least young looking, and she had not ever really approached him before. Regardless he should at least see if the child was mentally stable before he took back off into space. With a swift and quiet movement, Wolfie made himself known to Atlas. "Child you are being left behind by your family." Wolfie told her.

From Wolfie's perspective, he was never good with that stuff. He knew the child was fond of him, he was just never the affectionate type. So her always clinging onto him and showering him with affection made Wolfie not really speak with her. It was not that he disliked her, he just realized there was less chance for intellectual discussion with her than with her siblings. "Hello Atlas. I came when I heard of the passing of Apollo. I was out in the universe, exploring the farthest reaches of space." Wolfie informed her. He was sure he told her that last time, but perhaps she was old enough to comprehend what that meant.

Wolfie patted her head gently then removed her from his body. "No. You belong here on earth with your family. Space is a lonely dangerous place. It is no place for a child." Wolfie said. That was indeed the truth. Space was not the fun place a child as bright and cheerful as Atlas could handle. Plus when he was in place he liked to wander in random places. He did not know what needs Atlas would require, so he would not want her to come along with him. "we should rejoin your family. Im sure they are worried for you." Wolfie said.

"Hmph, you may be 123 but you still act like a child." Wolfie said turning away from her. "I shall remain here for a few days. Traversing space is quite taxing. I suppose...I could lend you aid in developing your powers. This does not mean I will take you into space. I do not plan on changing my mind on that." Wolfie said. Ugh he had such a hard time because she looked so much like her mother. He did not know why he had such a tough time turning down Yve's requests. Although he did not plan on listening to all of the childs requests.

"Sigh. Just because I'm teaching you a few things, it does not mean I'll teach you everything. I am quite old, so you would not be able to pursue me." Wolfie said. At least he was pretty sure she couldnt. He honestly didn't know how strong her powers were. "We will start tomorrow. Today we pay respects to your sibling. Although is death is meaningless in the grand scheme of life, we will honor his memory and life." Wolfie said.

Wolfie did not pick up on her change in feelings as he watched her run off. He sighed as he looked up at the clouds. Zilla used to love cloud gazing. It used to be one of the most relaxing things he did with her. They would find an open area with the nicest grass and just lay down and watch the clouds go by. It was mundane and a waste but..it was oddly serene. Now just looking up at Earth's clouds just left Wolfie with a bad taste in his mouth. He sighed again as he waited for tommrorow to come and meet with Atlas.

Wolfie teleported into the tribal hut suddenly and was now in front of her. He came at the same time they met yesterday so it was exactly tommrorow. "I am here. are you ready?" Wolfie said. He had actually been thinking of several ways to teach her how to train her skills, and was interested to see what she could possibly be.

Wolfie sighed as he saw her bounce around all giddily. "The first thing I will teach you to do is actually feel and control your energy. Im sure from time to time you get headaches, or aches or other types of symptoms because of your abilities. That is due to a lack of control. Once you learn how to actually control your body and it's energies then you might be able to do something more challenging." Wolfie said.

Wolfie was not convinced. "Very well. Prove to me you have mastered the abilities you know of so far and I may let you skip my "lame" training." Wolfie said. He doubted the child knew the full extent of what she was capable of, but if she could show him she did, he may deem a few steps unnecessary.

Wolfie sighed and rubbed his chin. "That was exactly what I was doing. In order to "mess" with them, you would need to know how to control your aura. Once you can demonstrate that I should be able to teach you to use them properly." Wolfie said.

Wolfie was also feeling the odd stares from the lion people. Which was strange since he had usually felt welcomed here. It had been a long time so perhaps they forgot him. Oh well. "yes let's relocate." Wolfie said as he grabbed onto her by the hand and they teleported away to a meadow that Wolfie enjoyed. "This will be suitable." Wolfie said. "Sit down, cross your legs and close your eyes." Wolfie told her as he demonstrated.
