Big Bad Wolf

Deep in a dark forest where no leaves grew and no birds sung a great wolf lay down and stared into a burning orb of energy, within the orb innumerable events flashed in the blink of an eye yet were monitored intensely by the wolf's yellow eyes.

The wolf continually flicked her tail back and forth as she observed the events of the orb, every now and then a massive paw reached out and batted at the orb, shaking it violently before it once again came to a rest by her snout.

"A King builds a castle, a peasant builds a hut.. in the end both crumble to dust.. there is nothing that separates the rich and the poor.. the great and the weak.. save for the ticking of time.." the wolf mused as she snorted out a cloud of red mist, which swirled around the orb before fading into the air.

"A criminal is locked in chains, a judge is locked by laws.. in the end both are swept away with change.." the wolf mused again, sitting up momentarily to scratch at her flank with a hindpaw, stretching out in the process.

"The multiverse is but a game of waiting, the end results are always the same.. in war and in peace, the only victor is the law of the forest.." the wolf decreed, looking around at the dead trees as she stepped over the glowing orb and paced across the area.

"A change is coming.. as inevitable as the scythe of Old Man Death.. as swift as Hermes and as unstoppable as the Abyss itself.." the wolf continued, stopping as she spots a second orb on the forest floor, glowing like the last.

"The age of reason must come to an end, cities must crumble and the savage lands must resurface.. the days of knights and princes must pass.. the only true monarchy is the sky and moon, which guide the wild hunt.." the wolf thought, leaning down and staring at the new orb, which flashed more images which she monitored carefully.

"..and end it shall.." the wolf noted, lifting a paw and pressing down on the orb, which shattered underneath - releasing fine powder that clung to her fur as she headed back to the first orb, the powder glowing softly with each step she made.

"..a simple task, one I have done so many times before.." the wolf mused, laying back down and lifting a second paw - bringing it down on the first orb, yet the orb glowed brightly and refused to break, holding fast under her weight.

"..yet still this one fights.. stronger than I had thought.. no matter.. I have time to wait.." the wolf decided, lifting her paw off the orb and moving her snout over to observe the events going on within.

"..and wait I shall.." the wolf decreed, staring deeply as the events continued to play before her.
