#innerwolf
I held the calm all day— the small storms, the glances, the tiny cuts that never bleed but still bruise the mind. I swallowed the chaos, carried the silence, did the work no one sees and kept the peace no one thanks. But then one careless word— useless— and something ancient inside me opened its eyes. Not rage. Not madness. Fenris. The wolf who guards the borders of my soul. He didn’t howl. He didn’t bite. He simply stood, warm breath against my ribs, and said: “No more.” And I spoke with his voice— steady, cold, clear as steel: If you want me here, say it. If not, I walk. That was not anger. That was truth with teeth. A boundary carved in bone. A reminder that even the gentlest man is still a wolf when pushed too far. Now the storm is quiet. Fenris lies down again. And I remain— not broken, not ashamed, but proud that when I needed him, the wolf inside didn’t fail me.

When Fenris Spoke
I am a wolf, running wild through the forest, my instincts guide me beyond the woods, into the untamed unknown. I am an eagle, spreading my wings wide, flying above the storm, leaving nightmares far behind. I am a storm, with a chaotic beauty, lightning, thunder, fire— I am life itself.
