"Harvest Moon" It had been a cold evening, and me and my master Kinnison had been sleeping under the stars. Basically every night I was a pillow for him. I had been hard of us every since. I guess you could call me more of Kinnison’s brother then his loyal dog (not that I am a dog, I’m more of wolf). I have been here for him for a long time, but now I was getting a little old. Tomorrow Kinnison and I were heading to Ryube Village for supplies. “Good Night Shiro” Kinnison said slowly as he drifted off to sleep “Remember we have a long walk ahead of us” I laid down, and then 5 seconds later…I was in pain. Kinnison’s bow to poked me eye. I started to get mad but in a plight manner (I guess you could say) I dragged Kinnison arm to a near by tree. “For now sleep now the tree” I thought. Near that tree was a small river. I decided to walk over to it and take a drink, still I thought about all those times Kinnison had saved me. I looked up at the sky. I saw my reflection in the moon. From what I saw, I felt really low, almost like I was using Kinnison for my own safety. Kinnison woke up and saw me looking up at the sky. “Moon seems very bright tonight, eh Shiro? It’s been so long, do you think we will ever find our place in the world? I think this is more of a task for us, I mean if you look at it one way, we are protecting nature, in a different way, We are learning to be one with nature, hmmm but in a lot of ways I feel, I feel…almost one with Mother Earth” he said. “I looked at him and agreed. There are strange things to understand about are world; For Kinnison and I we know more then most people. “Hey Shiro, wouldn’t it be neat if you could talk? Then you could understand me better” Kinnison said “Oh wow! I have not seen one of those in a long time! Look Shiro a shooting star!” Kinnison closed his eyes. To me he looked like he was sleeping sitting up, but then I realized, he was wishing, but about what? I guess your not suppose to tell, but I wanted to know, badly. I licked his face a few times to see if he’d spill his guts on what he wished for. Fat chance. He just started to laugh. My master has such a heart for me. I still can’t believe that I can blackmail that wish from him. I felt like I was gonna go insane if I didn’t find out what it was. Then I lied back down. I thought to my self “I so badly want to know this wish, I wonder if God will help me? No that would be dumb to think, I mean he’d have no time to deal with me, but then why do I feel so useless? I’ll never understand myself” Kinnison started to fall asleep. “One day I hope this wish comes true” he said “For now I can wait, besides I have more time to think of it later, anyways Good Night Shiro” he said as he finally feel asleep. From were I was, I too needed a good sleep. I looked at the moon once more and I then called its quits for the night. I shut my eyes slowly and then went to my dream state, still thinking of what the hell that wish was. But then I realized that maybe it was what he said before, about me talking. “Oh geez” I thought “I don’t wanna talk, hmmm but in some ways maybe its was a good thing if that happened. I thought about that for awhile and reazined that maybe God will grace me with that gift. So for once more I looked up at that sky and fell asleep.
