Search for Wise Wolf

Not surprisingly, minutes move slower than before; however, I suspected that we are progressing to something better, so I can endure the extended, prolonged wait. Excitement sends a signal to the Suns to stop and slow everything to a halt. Even in the few short years, I have been dodging arrows, I now that excitement invites carelessness and therefore, control inessential. This almost feel as good as when the dark day's end and the time to play outside once more arrived, after helping to replant our gardens of course. This time, I am going to release, because I must pull Acia and Pava back into our little circle. They tried to get my attention many times, which I kindly ignored. I judge myself bad that when they needed me; I was falling apart. There must be a way that I can work this out for us. By it, I walk over to them and ask if they want to play. They look at me as if I am a stranger and turn away. My young wisdom with girls told me that on this first try, I should retreat and look unhappy. Notwithstanding; I sit in my corner looking sad. My misfortune awards me be presenting our father before me asking me if I want to play. This is too good of a deal to pass, so I agree, and we begin playing. Kristoffel joins in, and they start wrestling me around as if I am with my air, which I am to them, either way I am screaming in total fear and fascination. When we finish, I find myself so exhausted that I am immediately falling asleep. I wake up about one hour later to see two sets of inflamed eyes staring at me. Acia and Pava are so furious; I can sense it from where I am sitting. Because I am the boy here, I must go to them and see if I can seek a compromise. When I approach them, they turn their faces from me. This is the time for stage two, so I begin to use my advance skills. I explain to them how I am so sad without them and want them to forgive me. They turn around and start throwing dirt at me and in my face screaming, “You looked happy when you were playing with Daddy. You keep Daddy just for yourself.” Daddy yells over, “Acia, do not throw dirt in someone's face. You could hurt their eyes. Now be pleasant.” Oh, this was not a good thing for me. My little hearts decided it was time for me to learn not to get younger sisters in trouble. I never paid much attention to what they carried in all those pockets that Olimpia sewn onto each of their dresses. I simply knew it was, so they could do things I did not want to do. Acia invites me to sit down beside her. She now tells me I have been a dreadfully bad boy, and that I am just like Panfilo. In fact, so much like him, they are going to start calling me Panfilo. I look at them, sad of course and masking my desire to hit them, and tell them that this is therefore, unfair. Acia takes something thin and long from her pocket and stabs in my leg. She smiles and says, “If you scream, we will get you every time Daddy leaves.” I asked her what she used to stab me. She tells me she merely poked me with a needle, and that she has the little ones. Pava smiles and says, “I got the big ones,” and into my other leg, she injects her needle. I look at them and report, “I never thought my sisters would be so evil. Lucky for me, I discovered this before I must take care of you when you grow older.” Acia smiles and pokes me once more while sighing and declares, “We will tell Olimpia, and she will force you. So prepare for a long life of bitter pain.” They are pushing me beyond my ability to control myself, so I blurt out, “Not if I tell her first.” Acia and Pava rush to occupy each of Olimpia's sides and growl at me, “Try it.” My happiness is beginning to take a few serious hits here. Acia and Pava swore their loyalty to me for all the days of our lives. Our days ended before I realized it. They are different. I used my best cards on them, so now is the time for me to join with Daddy and Kristoffel and try to fill in the open gaps created by the loss of Answald and Panfilo. I walk over and sit down beside Daddy with a stunned look on my face. He asks me what is wrong with me. I tell him that two ghosts just visited me, and they came as Acia and Pava. He puts his arm around me, and requests that I tell him the whole story. “Daddy,” I begin, “the change in Olimpia has shattered everything that I once stood on. She was constantly there, most times before. I always had her at my side to lead Acia and Pava. When Olimpia went to sleep, I did not comprehend how to react with Acia and Pava. The pain they were releasing scared me, and I ran from them. They want revenge presently. I was so afraid that I would hurt them. I was only protecting them until I worked everything out in my mind. How could they turn therefore evil so quickly?” Kristoffel, who has joined us looked at me and said with a serious stare, “Son, I would sooner wrestle with thirty Pirates than one angry woman.” Daddy quickly added, “Make those thirty five Pirates for me to one woman with your mother's blood in her. Let me go again and talk to them.” Daddy walks over, sits at Olimpia's head, and says to his daughters, “I was so preoccupied since I returned to verify how my little angels are doing. You think there could be something we could do together?” Acia tells him, “Daddy, we are girls and do not do those boy things like we did when we were babies.” Daddy looks at Pava and asks, “Are you still my baby?” Pava shakes her head no and says, “I am a mommy's baby.
