Greetings, cherished reader,

Allow me to share a tale of a soul witch who, from the very beginning of his existence,

faced rejection from his own people and was cast into the depths of darkness and

shadows. I hope this brief narrative resonates with the hearts of the broken and the lost.

May it inspire you to awaken to the call of your eternal spirit and discover the courage

to ascend from the depths once again.

This tale unfolds in a realm that transcends time and space, existing before the life we

recognize. It is a domain where only pure tranquility and the unity of all beings prevail.

Here, there are no self-imposed realities, no fears or doubts; it is where our souls

emerge as thoughts from the infinite consciousness. This realm is not defined as Heaven

or Hell, Light or Darkness, but rather as Eternity, a space where we select our future

lifetimes, journeys, challenges, lessons, and the souls we will encounter in our next

existence.

For many souls, including the young spirit named Mani, the momentous day has come

again. With the blessing of the Soul Coucal, he was dispatched to this world to live,

explore, experience, learn, grow, and evolve to new heights of his being. Exactly 24

years ago, on a frigid and tempestuous autumn night, Mani's spirit entered this world,

taking the form of a wolf. That night, the universe recognized that this was not just

another soul among many who had succumbed before him. This was a being destined

for significant challenges, trials, and profound inner struggles, unlike any seen before.

On that day, a remarkable destiny was etched into the fabric of existence.

Time raced by in a blur of days, weeks, and months. Each milestone - first steps, first

tumbles, first encounters, and first lessons - was steeped in its own enchantment: the

initial kiss of sunlight, the first drops of rain, the gentle caress of the wind, and the thrill

of weathering a storm. The universe appeared boundless and captivating. He wandered

through ancient woods and towering mountains, each whispering tales of his ancestors

and the world's rich tapestry. However, his unique perspective set him apart from his

peers, leading to ridicule and isolation from a young age. He perceived the world in

vibrant hues and shades that eluded those around him. His heart overflowed with

compassion, care, and love for all beings. Though he lacked physical might, wisdom, or

stature, he possessed an inner strength as profound as the tempest that marked his

arrival into the world. Like all true blessings, this gift came with a weight as immense as

life itself. While its full potential remained to be discovered, it served as a guiding light

from his earliest days, much like a steadfast evening star illuminating his path.

As the young Mani matured, he gradually unveiled the Secrets of the World,

discovering hidden Knowledge and the Wisdom of Life. He consistently sought

acceptance from his Kind, yearning to find his Place within the Circle of Life, but his

efforts were met with nothing but Laughter and Mockery. In his desperation to belong

to the familiar World and his Kind, he reached a pivotal moment in his youth where he

had to choose between his true Self and the known World. On that fateful Day, he made

a significant Decision that would alter the course of his Life forever. He resolved to

embrace exile and rejection from his Kind and the World rather than betray his Soul

for a hollow and trivial existence. This choice plunged him into a Realm of Darkness

and Shadows, a place of profound Silence and relentless Despair. While many Souls

might have surrendered, young Mani refused to allow the World to have the final

Laugh, determined not to leave this Life in submission and Hopelessness. He accepted

his fate and the Journey that lay ahead, choosing to forge on despite the Pain within and

the Despair that gradually poisoned his Soul with Anger and Hatred.

Despite the challenges and fear he faced, he never regretted his choice. Even at a young

age, he recognized the distinction between compromising oneself for superficial

acceptance and hollow promises, versus remaining authentic. The cost was high, yet he

was confident in his decision, even if it seemed uncertain at first. Thus, the young Mani

embarked on a new journey as an Exiled Soul. He devoted his days to caring for the

creatures of the forest and mountains surrounding him. With no home to return to and

no family left due to a tragic event in his early life, the forest became his sanctuary. The

trees offered him shade and companionship, the sun provided warmth and comfort,

while the moonlight and haunting cries served as his remedy for the deep-seated pain

within. The stars held his hopes and dreams for a brighter future. As time passed,

young Mani transformed into a powerful adult wolf. Forged by relentless suffering and

adversity, he became someone others could hardly imagine. His steps were resolute, his

gaze penetrating, his mind tranquil, and his spirit unyielding. He emerged as the

guardian of the forest and the protector of the sacred.

The Great Wolf Mani followed his destined path with unwavering resolve. Each day, he

silently traversed the ancient Galdr Forest, the very place of his birth. Mani was

committed to ensuring that the delicate balance of nature remained undisturbed by any

force. He watched over the other creatures of the Galdr Forest, ready to assist those in

need. Little did Mani know that he was on the brink of his second life test, one that

would impart a valuable lesson and challenge the skills he had honed during his years in

exile. One ordinary day, as he roamed his beloved forest, he sensed something amiss.

For hours, not a single sound had pierced the tranquility of the woods. An unsettling

feeling crept over him, yet he couldn't pinpoint the source of his unease. As he ventured

deeper, the sharp crack of gunshots and the voices of unfamiliar beings echoed in the

distance. Initially, Mani hesitated, torn between instinct and curiosity. But when a

heart-wrenching howl pierced the air, all his fears vanished. With newfound courage, he

wisely moved toward the source of that mournful sound.

As he emerged into the vast expanse of the Forest, where only towering grasses reigned

supreme, he noticed a young She Wolf ensnared in a Hunter's Trap. Their gazes locked,

and in that moment, Mani perceived the anguish and hopelessness reflected in her eyes.

To his right, he spotted a group of approaching Humans. Realizing the urgency of the

situation, Mani knew he had to act swiftly and cleverly. He dashed forward to divert the

Humans' attention. As they began to pursue him, he nimbly leaped behind a large log at

the roadside, allowing them to race past him. Once the Humans faded into the distance,

Mani hurried back to the trapped She Wolf to set her free. With a determined bite, he

pried open the trap, releasing her leg. Grateful yet terrified for her life, the She Wolf

bolted into the safety of the Forest. Before disappearing into the dense foliage, she

glanced back at her rescuer. That day, Mani learned invaluable lessons: first, that true

courage is defined not by one's appearance but by one's character; and second, that it is

only in the face of danger that one discovers their true self and the strength that lies

within.

After an unexpected meeting and a harrowing encounter with humans, Mani returned

to the safety of his forest realm. He wandered through the woods, yet despite the serene

beauty of nature surrounding him, he struggled to find inner peace. The memories of

the encounter and the lurking dangers haunted him, particularly the image of the she

wolf he had saved. It struck him as odd that he hadn't seen any of his kind in the forest

for five long years, leading him to believe he might be the last of his kind. As the sun

dipped below the horizon and the moon began to rise, Mani retreated to his cave.

Exhausted and hungry from the day's adventures, he finished off the deer he had

hunted the previous day before settling down to sleep. However, his thoughts remained

fixated on the she-wolf he had rescued. Moments later, a storm raged outside, and the

howling winds lulled him into a deep slumber. Suddenly, he was jolted awake by the

sound of breaking branches near his cave. As he slowly opened his eyes, he sprang to his

feet in a defensive stance, startled by the apparition before him. To his astonishment, it

was the very she-wolf he had saved, standing in his cave, hurt, wet, and weary. Her

spirit seemed to seek solace and hope. Mani offered her a spot on some dry grass to

warm up and shared some of the deer he had caught to help her regain her strength.

After she finished her meal, their eyes met, and he could see peace and gratitude

reflected in her gaze. Both weary from their respective trials, they settled down to sleep.

In this moment, Mani learned a valuable lesson: life is unpredictable and full of

surprises, and even the smallest act of kindness can be a lifeline for someone in need.

As Mani stirred awake, he turned to his side and saw the She Wolf still peacefully

slumbering. He resolved to embark on a morning hunt to stretch his legs and gather a

hearty breakfast. However, as he roamed the forest, thoughts of the She Wolf's plight

clouded his mind, making it difficult to focus. He knew that wolves never wander alone,

and her pack would be searching for her. Moreover, if he allowed her to wander off in

her injured state, she would likely perish before her pack could find her. Mani faced a

tough choice: to abandon her and move on with his life or to defy his beliefs and assist

her despite the risks. Ultimately, he chose to place his trust and hope in kindness once

more. He cared for the She Wolf, hunting for her, providing fresh water, and ensuring

her safety and warmth. During this time, subtle changes began to stir in Mani's heart,

unnoticed by him. Days turned into weeks, and the She Wolf grew stronger with each

passing day. Finally, the moment arrived when she stood on her own four feet again,

never forgetting the kindness she had received. She invited Mani to accompany her in

search of her pack. Aware of the dangers, Mani couldn't bear to let her venture out

alone. He decided to leave his past behind and embrace trust in life. Thus, a new

journey began for him. What Mani learned was that life often presents no perfect

answers; in such moments, one must find the inner strength to trust in life's guiding

hand.

As the sun rose, it breathed life into Nature and all its inhabitants. Mani and She Wolf

Lea embarked on their quest to locate Lea's pack. Uncertain of how to expedite their

search, Lea felt a pull towards her distant home, nestled far to the North beyond the

Mountain of Fate. Mani noticed the flicker of doubt and fear in Lea's eyes, yet

accustomed to such moments, he offered her a reassuring nod, encouraging her to trust

her instincts and inner strength. Together, they ventured into the forest once more, with

Lea leading the way northward while Mani trailed behind, vigilant for any signs of

danger. The forest was tranquil, alive with sounds and vibrant with life. Towering trees

loomed like mountains, and a gentle breeze whispered through the foliage. With each

step, they delved deeper into the woods, exchanging glances that spoke of mutual trust.

Unbeknownst to them, this journey would mark the beginning of something profound

and beautiful in their lives. As they continued, they encountered a herd of deer with

their fawns, peacefully grazing on the fresh leaves and grass. They paused to soak in the

serenity and grace of the moment. However, as they resumed their trek, they noticed the

sun dipping lower in the sky. Aware that their journey was far from over, they knew

they needed to find a cave for the night to regain their strength. Without delay, Mani set

off to hunt while Lea searched for shelter. They briefly parted ways, each hoping for the

other's success. As Mani roamed the forest, scanning for potential prey, Lea sought a

suitable place to rest. Throughout their quests, thoughts of one another lingered, fueling

their determination. Finally, after hours of searching, Mani succeeded in catching two

rabbits near the stream. On his way back to Lea, Quest followed closely behind. He

released a deep howl, hoping to elicit a response from her. After several attempts with

no reply, Mani began to worry that he had strayed too far. Just as he was about to lose

hope, he heard a distant howl in return. In a rush of excitement, he grabbed his two

rabbits and hurried toward the sound. After an hour of running, he finally reached a

small, somewhat deep cave nestled beneath a massive oak tree. With a gentle howl, he

called out, and Lea emerged from the cave, joyfully greeting Mani and his catch of

rabbits for dinner. Suddenly, they heard the rumble of thunder in the distance,

signaling an approaching storm. They decided to enjoy their meal before the tempest

arrived. Once they had regained their strength, they retreated into the cave to rest,

lying close together for warmth. Moments later, a fierce storm erupted, plunging the

forest into darkness. To soothe Lea, Mani gently rested his head on her back, and

together they surrendered to sleep. Through this experience, Mani learned that life

unfolds and offers guidance when one is open to it and ready to embrace the journey.

Significant changes often come to us in the simplest forms, simply by living each

moment fully.

A stunning new day dawned as the sun rose, bringing life back to nature after the

storm's fury. Mani and Lea stirred awake, drawn by the melodious songs of birds

outside their cave. They emerged into the bright morning, stretching their bodies in

preparation for the adventures ahead. Before setting off, they made their way to a

nearby stream to quench their thirst. Once ready, they ventured into uncharted

territories of the ancient forest, encountering a myriad of animal species along the way.

They traversed through caves and long-lost paths, pausing frequently to play and soak

in the breathtaking scenery. With each step, their bond deepened, and for the first time,

Mani experienced an indescribable feeling of joy, ease, and fulfillment. Lea transformed

from a mere she-wolf who had sought refuge in his cave during a storm into his beacon

of hope and belonging. As they reached a clearing, the vast golden fields of grain

stretched before them, with the Mountain of Fate almost within reach. Mani saw a

glimmer of hope in Lea's eyes and knew he had to help her find her pack, no matter the

cost. However, as they surveyed the horizon, they noticed another storm brewing, with

no shelter in sight. Realizing the urgency, they sprinted towards the mountain, the

storm hot on their heels. This leg of their journey became a fight for survival. Finally,

they reached the mountain's edge and dove into the first cave they spotted, just

moments before the storm unleashed its icy rain and fierce winds. Collapsing into the

cave, they landed in a heap, exhausted but safe. As they disentangled themselves, they

lay side by side, drifting into a peaceful slumber. In this chapter of his journey, Mani

discovered that miracles often emerge from the shadows, guiding you out of darkness

and confusion, appearing unexpectedly at the mouth of your cave during the stormy

night.

The tempest howled throughout the night, with thunder crashing and fierce winds

howling. The Mountain of Fate quaked under the fury of nature, yet in each other's

embrace, Mani and Lea found refuge from the world's most devastating forces. As

dawn broke, the storm subsided, and the sun emerged, heralding a fresh promise of

comfort and warmth. Awakened by the melodious chirping of birds, they greeted the

new day with hearts full of joy, grateful that they had endured the long journey

together. However, their warmth for each other was soon accompanied by hunger. They

ventured down the mountain in search of food, keenly observing their surroundings for

any signs of prey. After a short while, they spotted a deer grazing in the meadow. The

hunt was on, and together, Mani and Lea began to pursue the deer, flanking it from

both sides. With a graceful leap, Lea pounced on the deer, bringing it down, while Mani

delivered a lethal bite. They both feasted on their prey, savoring the flavor of fresh

meat. After a satisfying meal and a brief rest, Mani and Lea resumed their journey

toward Lea's pack, located beyond the Mountain of Fate. With each step toward the

summit, new horizons unfolded around the mountain for both of them. Eventually, after

a challenging ascent, they reached the mountain's peak. The climb had been grueling,

but every drop of sweat was worth it. They were greeted by breathtaking views that

neither had ever witnessed in their young lives: vast golden plains of crops, crystal-clear

rivers, endless forests, and herds of wild animals. It was a sight unlike any other. For a

fleeting moment, Mani gazed at Lea, sadness in his eyes, knowing that down in those

golden fields, Lea's pack thrived in freedom. He realized that the moment Lea reunited

with her pack would also mark his own loss. Mani lifted his gaze to the sky, accepting

whatever fate awaited him below. He recognized that this was the right choice, having

promised Lea at the start of their journey to guide her to the end. However, what Mani

failed to grasp at that moment was that this was yet another test of his faith in the

universe and its guidance. Without wasting another second, Mani and Lea began their

descent down the mountain. After several hours, they arrived at the edge of the endless

golden fields of grain. They traversed the plains with respect for their rulers, both tense

at the thought of potentially crossing paths with Lea's pack. Just as they were about to

leave the golden fields, they heard a rustling around them. Upon exiting the plain, they

were confronted by a pack of wolves, with a black alpha standing at the forefront. Mani

realized he had reached the end of his journey. Lea's pack approached cautiously,

welcoming her back. Mani stood resolute, never breaking his gaze from the alpha. As

Lea reunited with her pack, Mani observed, trying to comprehend what it felt like to

belong. He was ready to depart, having fulfilled his promise. Lea was back with her

pack. Suddenly, the alpha approached Mani, halting him in his tracks. With a gentle

bow of his head, the alpha offered Mani a choice: to continue his journey alone or to

join the pack. Mani was taken aback and bewildered by such an unexpected offer from

any living being. For the first time in his life, he had the chance to become part of his

kind, to be included in a family, a pack. He turned slowly to glance at Lea, who was

surrounded by her pack. The alpha noticed the longing in Mani's eyes, understanding

that his desire to join the pack stemmed from a single reason. Alpha perceived the

profound affection and care for Lea reflected in Mani's eyes, and he grasped the

entirety of the situation. As Lea broke free from her Pack's embrace, her gaze locked

with Mani's once more. This time, she discerned a deeper emotion in his eyes, one that

had remained hidden until now. She recognized a love and care for her that blazed like

a fire in the pitch-black night. Lea realized that Mani was patiently awaiting her

response, while Alpha and the Pack observed this poignant moment shared between two

souls. From the instant Mani rescued her from the hunters, Lea felt deep within her

that he was a gift from Destiny itself. With a gentle approach, she maintained eye

contact, smiling softly at him. In that moment, Lea provided Mani with the answer he

had longed for. She kissed him tenderly and beckoned him to join her, embracing his

new fate as part of the Pack. Through all his trials, Mani came to understand that every

experience had led him to this moment, where he discovered love and a sense of

belonging in the world.
