Posted: Friday, June 4th, 2010 at 20:02 by rcoppleFiled under: Creator's Blog
This is it! The week is at an end, and we have showcased the top entries of the first Riese fan creation contest. But before a complete wrap-up, let’s check out entry #5. Congrats to Rap541!
With a written piece, Rap541 has told a story from Fenrir’s point of view, and made it fun with the creative approach of Fenrir being interviewed by a reporter. Want to know the ins and outs of what goes through Fenrir’s mind? Read for yourself, and discover the secrets of Riese’s faithful companion.
“Faithful Companion” – By Rap541
Yeah, it looks easy. I know you think that. But have you ever tried being the faithful companion? Or hey, being the faithful companion of someone who devotes herself to getting into serious trouble with the Sect? You try biting someone’s throat while they try to stab you. See how easy it is.
It was different with the King. I was just a pup then myself, fascinated by the humans. Don’t do it, Curly Tail, that’s what the pack said. Humans are fighters sure, but you’re a wolf, not a dog. You aren’t supposed to hang around them.
What? Oh yeah, my pack name was Curly Tail. Because… well, it curls when I’m happy. You don’t get to judge my wolf name. Who are you again? When you write the story, my name is Fenrir. Yeah, the King liked that. He understood the whole wolf mythos thing we have going. I mean, the King knew my real name, but he understood how it was private.
No, my tail hasn’t curled up in a while. That’s kind of a private question, don’t you think?
Anyway, the King and I would run around and hunt deer and fight and things were pretty good. And then the Sect came. They’re not right…. They smell bad. I *tried* to signal the King but… you know how humans are, sometimes. I mean, you’re human. You guys can be kinda dumb about your instincts.
Riese listened to me. She was young enough. I got her away. I went back for the King….
He was a good human. I miss him.
Riese? She’s a good pup. Dumb about stuff like most humans, and she is at that age where she does stupid things… Like the stab wound from those Sect bastards. She won’t lick it herself, and she won’t let *me* lick it, so how does she expect it to get better? Oh sure, go ahead and have a little medical vacation at the local Sect hospital while poor Fenrir gets to live off whatever he can find in the woods. And sure enough, who has to go into town and bite people? Good old Fenrir, that’s who. I mean who didn’t think it was going to end that way? But… she has learned to listen. It wasn’t her human instincts that got her out of that Sect pit… it was her wolf side.
Oh dammit, there’s some Sect bastards coming. I gotta cut this short. Riese needs me. When you’re the faithful companion…. that’s the job. And Riese is worth being faithful to.
