1 Awakening in the Forest

I never knew that you could be reincarnated. That was nothing but a fantasy, but here I am, in a five year old's body. In my past life I just turned twelve years old a week before I died. I just wish I died from a more heroic death and not from falling out of a tree. I guess that's why I woke up in a forest.

I don't really remember how I got to this world, but what I do remember is a black void with a bright light at the center of it. It's words echoing in the back of my mind, "you are going to be reborn into a world that you are not familiar with. watch your back because I am giving you magic power that this world has never seen. People will try to find the secrets to your power and will do any thing to learn it so be warned." This warning obviously raise some flags of what might happen in my future while I am here.

What ever it was, it was nice enough to send me down with two animal familiars that are supposed to help me grow my power. One of them is a Dire Wolf that has a fire form. The other one is a Harpy Eagle that can control wind. I didn't know a thing about surviving in this world let alone in this forest so I was very thankful for this.

Once I came to my senses I was looking up at trees as tall as skyscrapers. I looked down at my lap and found a little wolf pup that was going to train me, but from what I saw it was not going to be much help. I picked up the little puppy that was curled up in my lap and set him next to me.

Once I got up I noticed that my eagle was not around and the first thought that came to my mind was, 'my eagle better not be a little chick or something or else I will die again.'

'I am not a baby chick, I am a full grown bird and right now I am looking for food for you.'

At that very second I learned that I have a mental connection to both of them if I concentrate on them, I can speak to them telepathically. I can also sense were they are.

'Sorry. Um, did you find any food sources that I can eat and maybe a water source.'

'Both'

I could not tell if my eagle was mad at me or was just a bird of few words, but I dared not to ask. I started in the direction that I felt his presence and then seconds later the wolf pup came up right next to me.

A few minutes later I heard a rushing river in the direction that I was heading. I started running because my mouth felt like a dessert. As I was drinking the water, i heard a loud splash that sounded irregular to the rivers sounds and looked up. I did not see anything, but next thing I knew, a black eagle dove into the water and pulled out two fish in each claw. He flew over to me and set the two fish on a flat rock and gave me a sharp looking rock.

After he gave me the sharp rock he started instructing me on how to prepare the fish. He seemed to know a lot about survival stuff because he knew where to make every cut. After the first fish I started cutting the second one with out any help. Once I finished I started gathering sticks and wood to use for a fire. There was a nice little stack right next to the two fish and a small pile of wood in a little clearing.

It was at this moment that I realized that I did not know how to start a fire. I started to freak out and have a panic attack. As soon as I started to calm down the smell of smoke was in the air. I looked back at where the fire wood was and saw the little wolf pup sitting next to the fire, smoke coming out of its nose and mouth. I pated him on the head and took back everything that I have thought about him until now.

I stabbed both fish and propped them up next to the fire. After some time I pulled them away and gave one fish to my wolf and my eagle. As my teeth sank into the fishes tender juicy meat, I felt like I would be able to make it in this world.
