The Arctic Wolf’s Child
Deep in the snow-covered forest of the Arctic, a baby wolf was born. He was surrounded by playful brothers and his mother loved him fiercely: he was protected from the hateful, brutal dangers around. Yet one day, the raven came. With wings as black as the darkest night, she swept away with the wolf pup and vanished: she was a shadow fading into dusk. On that very same day, far across the dense labyrinth of evergreen, a child was born into a cot lined with sealskin. The raven watched.

Suddenly, the boy heard sounds: a growl, a soft whine and padding paws. The boy whipped around in frenzied fear: panic was a sledgehammer in his chest. A pack of wolves circled him.
“Stay back,” the boy cried, his voice trembling.
Yet the largest wolf nuzzled the boy gently and whispered, “Brother.” It was then that the boy also recognised them: he recalled a long-forgotten memory of a family he had once been part of. All the while, the raven watched.

The boy’s heart wrenched. He yearned to stay with the wolves: he yearned to return to his parents. In that moment, an ancient understanding was awoken from within. “I am at one with the wolves in winter and stay safe with you in summer. We are one: one soul, one people, one family,” he declared.
His human parents were stunned into quiet defeat, but deep in their hearts, his wisdom prevailed. All the while, the raven watched – all was as it should be.

She loved him fiercely he was protected from the dangers of the Arctic.
The raven vanished with the bear cub his mother wept when she woke.
He knew he was lost his footprints had vanished in the snow.
The boy’s heart wrenched. He yearned to stay with the wolves: he yearned to return to his parents. In that moment, an ancient understanding was awoken from within. “I am at one with the wolves in winter and stay safe with you in summer. We are one: one soul, one people, one family,” he declared.

His human parents were stunned into quiet defeat, but deep in their hearts, his wisdom prevailed. All the while, the raven watched – all was as it should be.
By the boy’s seventh year, he had become an adventurous explorer. His parents were out hunting: it was the boy’s chance to explore the endless frost-covered firs of the forest. He remembered his mother’s warning of the predators that lurked there: bears, foxes, lynxes and their dreaded enemy… wolves. He promised himself he would stay close to the edge, but his curiosity soon took hold and he ventured deeper into the trees where the weather worsened. After some time, falling snow concealed the forest trail. The snow was an icy breath of bitterness. Frozen and frightened, he turned for home, but realised he had no idea which direction to turn. He was lost. From the silent treetops, the raven watched.
The pack took the boy to the wolf-mother: she howled in grief and joy as he nestled into her strangely familiar fur. Soon, the echoing shouts of the boy’s human family drew closer through the forest until his parents found him. “Give us our boy back,” they cried desperately to the wolves, weapons poised.
“Mother, Father… these are my brothers,” the boy pleaded.
His wolf-mother wrapped around him protectively. Her eyes were burning flames. All the while, the raven watched.

He found stones bright, fiery, bold and shining.
The pack took the boy to the wolf-mother: she howled in grief and joy as he nestled into her strangely familiar fur. Soon, the echoing shouts of the boy’s human family drew closer through the forest until his parents found him. “Give us our boy back,” they cried desperately to the wolves, weapons poised. “Mother, Father… these are my brothers,” the boy pleaded. His wolf-mother wrapped around him protectively. Her eyes were burning flames. All the while, the raven watched.
By the boy’s seventh year, he had become an adventurous explorer. His parents were out hunting: it was the boy’s chance to explore the endless frost-covered firs of the forest. He remembered his mother’s warning of the predators that lurked there: bears, foxes, lynxes and their dreaded enemy… wolves. He promised himself he would stay close to the edge, but his curiosity soon took hold and he ventured deeper into the trees where the weather worsened. After some time, falling snow concealed the forest trail. The snow was an icy breath of bitterness. Frozen and frightened, he turned for home, but realised he had no idea which direction to turn. He was lost. From the silent treetops, the raven watched.
