The dream
I'm an idiot…' Luz thought as she looked at the crescent shape of the moon and the note amity left.
Dear luz, I’m sorry if you find me gone.
My pack needs my help.
P.s
Don’t send any hunters. They wouldn’t understand.
Luz closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Luz had no idea where she was or how on earth she had gotten there. She was standing in a field of flowers And when luz looked up at the sky there was a rather large tree that seemed like it was from a story book. It was a beautiful scenery, one that would be passed up for a painting.
Then out of nowhere luz heard the sound of a howl. The reverberated in the entire fields, the winds blowing seems like it carries it the echo like a messenger.
Then luz noticed that there were others that were in the fields. it was a bunch of canine packs.
size seems enormous to be that of a dog, a wolf or any other canine category animals she knew off.
"What are those?" Luz suddenly stood still stepping back afraid of getting noticed by them. Then she noticed that she was being swallowed by a shadow of something larger.
Luz could feel herself trembling , almost afraid to look behind.
She slowly turned around but that didn't help as she saw that a large light brown wolf with brown eyes that seemed to be glowing under what little light surrounded them.
" oh my …" Luz could only mutter losing the will to scream.
"Do not be afraid, mortal. I mean you no harm." The wolf said.
Luz fell back sitting, her eyes twitching.
"It talked, it actually talked." Luz said. "I have to be dreaming. This has to be a dream…"
"Yes, you are dreaming… Sort of…" The wolf said to luz. "Right now you are in a dream state. However, your soul is currently wandering in another realm. Here particularly…" The large wolf sat beside luz , its head looking at the other creatures roaming the fields and the sky.
"As long as it's a dream, I don't have to understand the particulars." Luz said she looked at the far off distance. "It is a dream after all. Seeing things like this is natural."
"Dear luz, don't just pass anything as a dream. Dream is a way for wayward souls like you to wander to another realm." The wolf said. "I am Lazura the Wolf spirit Guardian.”
"So, you're a goddess?" asked.
"No… Being a god is different from a Guardian spirit like me. But it's something you shouldn't worry about yourself. You're involvement with me is deep." The wolf said.
"What's my relation to you?" Luz asked.
The wolf pointed a paw at the direction of the large wolves. "It's more of your relation to them."
"What are they?" Luz asked looking at the wolves that seemed to have business of their own some were playing others were sleeping. They were far away but because of their size she could tell what they were doing.
"The Lupus…" Luzura simply said.
"That's the Lupus?!" Luz said. "Hell, I didn't think them that big."
"Yes, to what I think most have simply thought them of different outlooks but of average sizes." The wolf said. "Of course one cannot fathom what mortal has never laid eyes on."
"But what's my connection with them?" Luz asked looking at her
Luz had the inkling that the large wolf thinks she should know what that connection is.
The wolf sighed. "I see… So you are not aware."
"Aware of what…?" Luz echoed.
"Hiding for so long mingling with only one of the kind? I suppose it's not that surprising. But now that you have found that half of yourself, it won't be long I suppose." The wolf said, standing up.
"What are you talking about?" Luz asked standing up. "What should I be aware off?"
"You young lady …" The wolf said poking a paw at luz. "Is a Lupus born…"
Luz looked at the large wolf, she licked his lower lip. "I'm human…" Luz said. "My parents are human."
"Are you sure? Your adopted parents are human but your biological eda and Oswald are lupus also." The wolf said.
But how?
Don’t you remember the dog catching incident and getting sent away? The wolf spoke. You accidentally summoned me using your lupus powers.
Luz can't exactly understand she knows that she's just dreaming but somehow she had to deny the claim of the wolf. "Even if what you're saying is true, I can't be one, I’m just some dumb human girl trying to figure out life.
Luz , No matter how deep you bury the other bloodline. It will surface from being dormant."
"I don't understand?" Luz asked. "What do you mean?"
"There is a reason why the Lupus has been passed on as a myth." The wolf said. "Be careful, someone like you who is not aware of yourself is usually the ones who are killed first."
The wolf then walked away as a mist surrounded luz had blackened her sight.
When Luz opened her eyes again, it was to find herself looking at the ceiling of her bunk room.
Luz sat up and sighed. "That was such a strange dream." opened her window and looked at the still unlit sky of the campsite It was still a few hours before sunrise. "I think I'm thinking too much about this Lupus thing that I'm beginning to have strange dreams about it." she laughed then. "Me, a Lupus…? Yeah, right."
Just then luz heard amity’s howl before going back to sleep.

The next morning.
Luz! Breakfast!
Who was calling for her? It didn't sound like the wolves this time.
" Luz , dear, it's time to get up!"
Get up? She was dreaming? She opened her eyes; she was back in her room at the cabin. " Luz!" Eda’s voice called from the hallway. "It's time to wake up now!"
"OK!" Luz called back. "I'm up!"
But she leaned back into her pillow. She didn't want to get up yet. She wanted to fall back into that beautiful dream again. But knowing that everyone would get angry if she stayed in bed, she pushed back her blankets and sat up.
The first thing she noticed was her room was bright. Her blinds were spread wide and the door to the balcony was open. The second thing that she noticed was that she was soaking wet… and her feet were muddy and cut… as if she had been running around without shoes in the forest all night.
