Back Story:
Lykos, which means wolf, was a little boy in a Narrative American village. He had a stuffed rabbit he got as a baby that he carried everywhere. He named this rabbit Zomo. He had an older brother named Dre (Dray),Which means deer. One day when Lykos was nine he and Dre were playing in a field when a herd of bison was stampeding through the area. Dre was able to push Lykos behind a rock. Dre jumped onto Lykos covering him protecting him from the bison. Dre did not survive this. (Is this Loin King enough yet?) Lykos was upset for several months. He would sit in the family’s home and rarely left or ate. He would just sit there with his rabbit Zomo who had been damaged in the accident. Eventually he left the house. He liked to spend time near the woods with his rabbit. Nearly two years passed and Lykos appeared to have forgotten about his brother. He liked to sneak around the village and steal whatever he could get his hands on. When his parents approached him about the subject he would just blame it in the voices. His parents didn’t believe him. His parents decided to try and scare him into behaving because all the others in the village were upset with him. One night they sat him down and told him of the Wendigo. They said that the Wendigo protected the village from evil. The Wendigo watches over the village from the forest looking for all the naughty children. They warned him that if he didn’t stop stealing the Wendigo would take him. Lykos began to see the creature everywhere since he been told the story. His stealing habit was reduced, but on occasion he would take things before quickly returning them. When Lykos had turned fifteen his sightings of the Wendigo had nearly disappeared. The whole village wanted Lykos gone. He was robbing them all and with Lykos’ father being the chief no one could do anything about it. Lykos knew the people didn’t like him. So he began to plan his escape. Every night he would sneak into the woods being careful to not disturb the Wendigo, if it did exist. He found a cave one night and decided that is where he would stay. On his way back to the village he began to hear things. He stopped crouching down gripping the ax he brought just in case. A rabbit popped out of the bushes. The rabbit hopped right towards him. He pick the rabbit up and headed back to the village. He wanted to show this rabbit to his parents. When he tried his parents looked at him strangely. Lykos was confused. How could they not see the rabbit. It was right in his arms. He looked down at the rabbit confused. The rabbit looked back and him and it spoke, “You need to leave.” Lykos dropped the rabbit. His parents were very concerned and tried to help him, but he could not stay near that rabbit. He ran into the woods running into branches bushes. His father tried to go after him, but Lykos had much more practice running through the woods and he quickly lost his father. The next day he woke up in the cave he had found and made his way towards the pond he had found in his previous forest adventures. The rabbit emerged from the bushes again. The rabbit then raced over to the pond and Lykos chased after the rabbit. The rabbit jumped into the water and disappeared. Lykos looked down into the water to see that his form had completely changed. He was no longer human. His reflection showed the creature he had seen so often years ago. The rabbit appeared next to him again and Lykos looked at the rabbit then back into the water…. His reflection changed back into a human, but his body was still a wendigo. Lykos fell asleep that night only to wake up with no memory of his human life. He would go about his days having glimpses of someone he knew dying near him, and living with people he didn’t remember. He would search around the forest with the rabbit which he felt compelled to call “Zomo”. During the night he would sneak around the village whenever possible to find things that reminded him of his “visions” and he would take those item back to his cave. He was always searching for what his visions meant. He wanted to know what they were. When the villagers came to the forest he would watch them closely. Sometimes the villagers would spot him and run away. He couldn’t understand why. The only thing he knew was that he needed to keep those villagers safe.
