THE ORHERT’S TRAINING
JASON:
After assuring Clarissa that I would be back for her, I made my way home to prepare for my journey back to the pack where my beta and Cleon awaited me. By the time I got home I had already gotten a dozen missed calls from Joshua whose goal was to make sure I did not get carried away again, and stay away from the pack for too long. I found no reason whatsoever to return his calls, I was returning to the pack that night anyway.
After a brief respite I took my little bundle and bounded out into the cold night. It was the price I had to pay for the safety of my people, and I would do it over and over again, if it meant they would be happy and safe.
The moment had come for me, Cleon, and Jọshụa to embark on the intensive training of the Orhert. We gathered in a secluded area of the pack’s territory, where we could focus without distractions. The Orhert, a young and huge wolf, still in the busy act of growing, stood before us, ready to learn and grow in power and skill. It awaited our every move with it’s keen eyes, ever ready to imitate and in some rare occasions, improvise.
We began the training by establishing a deep connection with the Orhert. Through meditation and spiritual practices, with the help of our pack seer, Anna, we tapped into the energy of the pack and the goddess, channeling it to create a bond with the Orhert. It was essential to trust and mutual understanding, laying the foundation for our journey together. Once the bond between the Orhert and us was created it was no longer susceptible to theft or kidnapping any longer. It now had an unbreakable affinity to our pack.
Cleon, impressed me with his willingness, and he expanded his extensive knowledge of the Orhert and its abilities, took the lead in teaching us the ancient rituals and practices that would guide our training. His wisdom and experience were invaluable as we delved into the secrets of the Orhert’s power. Together, we explored its capabilities, unlocking its true potential. Perhaps, the goddess had sent Cleon our way as a helper, my pack had never had an Orhert before, so we literally clueless on what to do, and how, but he even embarked on journeys in the quest of more knowledge so we could do it all rightly, and not screw it all up. His sacrifices were passionate, and they drove us all to do our bests in the best ways we could.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months as we delved deeper into the Orhert’s training. We practiced physical exercises to enhance agility, strength, and speed. We honed our senses, sharpening our instincts to navigate the world with precision and clarity.
Through meditation and deep introspection, we sought to tap into the Orhert’s innate wisdom and also to heighten its intuition. We learned to trust our instincts and embrace the interconnectedness of all beings, drawing upon the collective consciousness of our pack and the goddess herself.
In addition to physical and spiritual training, Cleon guided us through the study of ancient texts and teachings. We delved into the history of our kind, exploring the wisdom passed down through generations. It was a journey of self-discovery, as we unraveled the secrets of our ancestry and our place in the world.
The training was rigorous, demanding both mentally and physically. There were moments of frustration and exhaustion, but we persisted, knowing that the Orhert’s power was too important to ignore. We pushed ourselves to our limits, driven by a shared purpose and a deep sense of responsibility.
As time passed, the Orhert’s abilities began to manifest. It displayed remarkable strength over elemental forces, harnessing the power of fire, water, earth, and air. We witnessed its strength and agility, as it effortlessly maneuvered through challenging terrain and defended itself with unrivaled precision. This had never been heard of before, our Orhert was a mind blowing discovery it had unlocked a realm of power a d intelligence which no other known Orhert had achieved.
But the training was not only about developing the Orhert’s skills. It was also about instilling a sense of responsibility and compassion within it. We emphasized the importance of using its powers for the greater good, to protect and uplift our pack and the natural world around us, this was equally important because power is a corrupting force, we needed to make sure the Orhert did not go on a rampage in the future and kill people just for the thrill of killing people. If it ever got to that our first move was to cast away all lingering sentiment and to eliminate the Orhert before it caused any significant damage.
Through our unwavering commitment and dedication, the Orhert grew stronger and more attuned to its true nature. It became a beacon of hope, a symbol of unity and strength for our pack. Our bond deepened, as we understood that our destinies were intertwined, and that together, we could create a future where our kind thrived.
With each passing day, I also missed Clarissa and my family very dearly. The separation weighed heavily on my heart, but I drew strength from the knowledge that our sacrifices were for a greater purpose. I longed for the day when I would return to their arms, bringing with me the wisdom and power of the Orhert.
As the training continued, we stood on the precipice of greatness, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. The Orhert’s journey had just begun, and with our unwavering determination and the goddess’s guidance, we would shape a new era for our pack and the world around us.:
I could also not wait to be back with Clarissa again, the more I was separated from her, the more my longing crashed like stars from the ceiling.

CLEON:
As we trained the Orhert, I kept in touch with Mirabel, telling of her each stage we unlocked, she was very invested in the progress of the Orhert, she even helped me embark on various inquiries, that helped me achieve the final expansion of the Orhert’s abilities.
“I am proud of you Cleon, I see the way you have grown so fast and it warms my heart to know that you are my friend.” She wrote to me.
