Chapter 31: Comet's Name

MIDNIGHT

    Orders... Like how Shadow seem to be manipulating her father. Midnight bade the young wolf good night as she began to walk off, following instincts to where a glistening lake was. There, she laid down and looked at her reflection. For once, she began to think about the Nyx Pack.
    Her father, sick and old, somewhere out there, with the dangerous Shadow, along side the few wolf generals and Wisp. She sighed.
    Was she never going to meet them again?
    There was a splash of water. A head bobbed in the water. It was Comet's. "Comet," protested Midnight, though it has been a while since they last met.
    The artic wolf smiled, wrinkles forming around his aquamarine eyes. "Midnight," he said, "my name isn't actually Comet. My name is Omicron, I'm Lambda's cousin."
    Midnight looked surprised. "You don't look anything alike!"
    "Not after our reformation," sighed Omicron, his fur shimmering in the light.
    Midnight frowned. "You're the prince of magic, right?"
    "Yeah, I took that title up a while back when I went to look for glory outside the woods. Dragons found me, taught me, and I was the one who invited them into the forest."
    "You!"
    "I sometimes regret about bringing them in, for they ruined my house and caused me to be exiled for some time. You see, when I was the descendant of the prince of magic, my sole existence in one place depends on magic, like the King of Magic's."
    Midnight frowned. More information to take in, it seems. The confusing ones.
    "However! I was banished a little after the war, before the war against Beta. Since the fight against Beta was outside of the woods, I joined in, and I was a great help."
    Midnight tried to wrap everything in her head.
    "Midnight, see, look at me, among the other Silver Woods Guardians, who possess the most magic? I do, Midnight, because I do not depend on my birthplace only, but also of my outer world," Omicron said.
    "Why are you telling me this?" inquired Midnight.
    Omicron placed his back against the surface of the water, drifting further away towards the waterfall, his fur of purple, blue and white reflective in the water, the crystal bracelet around his bushy tail glinted in the light. "Ahh, it great to have nothing to do, eh?" he teased, then he looked at Midnight. "Midnight, I know you're involved about Beta. I warn you: be careful, he is one dangerous and manipulative creature."
    "Beta... Rune?" asked Midnight.
    "Shadow, Beta, Rune," verified Omicron, reciting the three names of the villain.
    "What-"
    Omicron disappeared in a flash.

Author's note: I now dub thee Omicron.
Ahh, aren't these chapters getting shorter and shorter?
