THE SONG OF THE WORLD SANG TO MERRICK AS HE RAN. IT CAME FROM
every blade of grass, every rustling leaf, and the blue sky overhead flecked
with soft white, like sheep’s wool after it had been cleaned. His feet
pounded the earth, and he could feel the reverberation beating along with
his heart like the war drums shaking in his bones. Up ahead, he could see
faint smoke rising from the Teresk village he called home. Rounding the
corner, he darted between two trees, his lips curling to reveal his sharp
canines.
This was always his favorite part. An unexpected dip in the trail where
water had carved a path long ago allowed him to leap high, grasping onto
one of the branches of a low-hanging tree. Gripping it tightly, he felt his
weight bearing it down toward the ground and his powerful legs pressed off
the ground, shooting him up into the air and propelling him forward,
completely clearing the village wall and landing in the yard to his home.
Though it wouldn’t be his home for long. The realization struck deep within
him when he saw the door being fixed in place over the hut he had been
using for the last few years.
For a long time, he had simply used an animal skin, letting its heavy
weight block out the cold air of winter and pinning it back during the warm

Warrior Test. And yet, a door was going up, sealing the entrance to the hut.
Hearing the sound of his feet on the packed dirt, the man tacking the door in
place looked around.
“Ah, Merrick, where have you been? Your sister is looking all over for
you. Aren’t you supposed to be getting ready?”
“I am getting ready,” he said, defensive.
The time was coming, the time for the warrior trial, and Merrick was to
participate. His sister’s husband, a powerful hunter in his own right, simply
grinned, remembering the time before his own trial. Though he had not
been chosen as a warrior, he had made a good life for himself, and there
was no jealousy in his words as he laughed.
“Well, enjoy that freedom while you can, because it’s not going to last.
If you don’t want to catch an earful, you might want to get going. Your
sister’s on the warpath today. You’d think you were one of her own kids.”
Nodding his thanks, Merrick paused to grab the small bag of his
