A Christmas Gift

Here is a short story I wrote as a Christmas gift from my house to yours.



The Rescue of Toll

by Jamison Drew Cowling

2-24-2015
Once upon a time.........

Let me tell you of a story of a captured boy, a large white wolf, and a evil vial of potion.

Toll sat alone in a dark cell inside Firestone Mountain, which was located in the Firestone Mountain Range. The natural mountian range separated Mymea from Beruna, Land of Elves. He sat all alone by himself and cried out saying , " Why? Why? Why? I was so excited about going to Zanhor Beach for summer vacation."

He thought long and hard about why The Ruiner wanted to capture him. He knew that he was the son of Lord Knox, and he also knew that The Ruiner was the fallen one who had tempted his great, great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents, who were the First Man and the First woman. Tempted they took and ate the forbid fruit, from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

He heard the door to his cell opening, he knew It was not meal time, for the guards came only twice a day to give him food. In stepped a hunchback man with a rapier on his side. Behind him stood The Ruiner. The Ruiner barked, "Is the potion ready?" The hunckback answered, " Yes sire it is." "Then give it to him!" The Ruiner snapped.

The hunckback pulled out a small vial and unscrewed the lid. He took a spoonful of bright green poton from the vial. Then Toll found his voice and said, " I am not eating any of that potion!" " Ah but you are!" said the camelbacked man. Instantly three guards stepped around the hunchback man, two of the guards grabbed Toll's arms and legs,the third pinched the boy's nose, forcing him to breath through his mouth, and the man with the twisted spine quickly slipped the spoon in Toll's mouth! Toll gagged and desperate for air swallowed the potion. Toll gluped and then asked, " What is the ick medicine going to do to me?" The Ruiner grinned and said, It is going to make you stay the age you are! You will be five-years old forever! Already you can feel the changes in your body.It wil give you infantile blood making the pituitary gland to die inside you.' And with that the Ruiner gave a sinister chuckle and he, the hunchback man, and the guards walked out of the room. And shut the door with a loud clang.

Toll gave a sigh and a shudder for he did already felt the changes inside his body. He began to cry.

Life for Toll the next few days was spent in such a dreary state that I will not mention them. However on the sixth day after Toll swallowed the vial tasting potion he heard a commotion ouside his door. He thought it was the Ruiner again, but the door was flung open and in the doorway stood a large white wolf! It was Veil Ambassador Wolf, Toll knew this by the color of his fur.

Veil said, " Quickly on to my back!" " We must fly if were going to make it to the tunnel, that E. M. Dust made, before the alarm is rasied!' So Toll climbed onto Veil's back and they raced down one of the many passages that lie under Firestone Mountain.

When they reach the tunnel that. E.M. Dust made, E. M. himself. poked his head out saying, "Is it all clear?" "Yes it is replied Veil. " Off we must go!" said E. M Dust. So they ran down the tunnel, which was almost the entire length of the Firestone Mountain Range.

When they emerged outside of Firestone Mountain, they were already 20 miles away from the base of Firestone mountian! Toll heard several loud bells ringing from within Firestone Mountain. They rang out and from its black depths issued forth Urgals, Minotaurs, and Orcs riding wargs. "We must be off!" cried Veil. So they raced down the length of the Firestone Mountain mountian range towards Forge Gate, an Eastern sea town which was less then five miles away. A normal urgal or minotar or warg rider can easly outpace a normal wolf, but Veil, who was of unusual size for a gaint wolf easily outpaced all of the minotaurs, urgals, and warg riders. For four miles Veil outran their pursuers. There was only 500 feet more before the town gate! 400 feet! 300 feet! 200 feet! 100 feet! 50 feet 10 feet, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 then they ran throuth the town gates. The gates closed quickly behind Toll and Veil, and the monsters bashed there heads against the town gates! Veil raced to the citadel, the guards opened the gate for Veil and he and Toll went on into the great hall. Lord Knox sat in a high back chair his, eyes downcast. Toll dismounted and Lord Knox looked up and saw his son.

"Toll? My son O my son!" He ran towards Toll and picked him up in his great arms and embraced him. There was much weaping and crying on both sides.

Later that night whe Lord Knox, Toll, and Veil were attending worship in the Creator's Church. Veil heard the Creator say to him in a still small voice, " Your work is not done O my faithful servant." Toll heard the Creator say, "Well done my good and faithful servant." Lord Knox heard the Creator say to him, " You have been tested and have proved to me that you love me more then your own son."

Many miles to the West deep in the top of Firestone Mountain, sat the Ruiner. "Very well King Leviticus you can have your son,the brave Prince Wolfheart and your nephew, Toll, but you will not withstand the storm clouds of war I have prepared for you!" The Ruiner took his sword and slashed the curtain behind him. A huge black dragon, blacker then midnight, whose name is Firegone, stood behind the curtain. Firegone unfurled his wings and let out a long roar, and then he losed a stream of fire. But the tale of that war is a tale for another time.

The End.


So long,
The Wolf Boy






The End

Merry Christmas

Have a peaceful and joy filled CHRISTmas today! from the, The Wolf Boy

Its not about Santa Claus it is about the birth of Christ

It is official! We are in the Christmas season. All over we see Christmas lights and other stuff go up around town and we are bombarded by Santa, Rudolph, and Frosty the Snowman. And yet, you really do not see the true meaning of Christmas unless you are in church or have a lot of nativity scenes like my wolf pack. Here are some facts about the world we live in today: There is only one radio station that plays Christmas carols about the true meaning of Christmas, but there are two that play songs about Santa and all of the rest of the Christmas jazz. There are kids, that are seven, eight, and nine-years-old, that still believe in Santa Clause. There are many Christmas plays about Santa and all the rest of his crew and hardly any shows about the true meaning of Christmas. There is any official website that tracks Santa Clause. So where does that leave us? In the dark and afraid to tell people about Jesus? I Think not! We should tell people that Jesus came as baby, grew up to die on a cross for their sins, and rose again to save us all. We need to reclaim this nation for the Lord. I am not saying that you should not do Santa Clause, but rather re-focus on Saint Nicholas and tell your children about him and how he loved the Lord, thus shifting the focus back on Jesus and not on Santa. A lesser known fact is that in actuality, Christmas is two holidays wrap into one. Christmas Eve was formerly know as St. Nicholas Day and Christmas Day was the mass that celebrated the birth of Christ. While I am not Catholic, at least the Catholics had it right in that they were celebrating two events, both of which were focused on the Christ baby that came to save the world. I think this sums up what I am saying - we need to shift the focus of Christmas back to Christ. So Merry CHRISTmas and Happy New Year, The Wolf Boy

The Schleich Empire

Dawn rises silently over the valley, like steam twisting and searching for a way out of the tea kettle. Prince Corin gets the old Mymeaians ready for battle as the Schleich army marches towards them like sand on a seashore. Their numbers are beyond counting and their weapons so vast that there is no time to describe them. The war machines are so huge that it takes ten men to run each one. But fear not for Prince Corin is on the side of right, he is on the side of The Creator. As the war machines began to fire Prince Corin yelled, "Charge!" The armies started racing towards each other. They meet with a crunch. Spear upon lance, sword upon halberd, battle ax upon shield ... the screech of the dying and the moans of the wounded. Meanwhile, far away to the east, Queen Bulla of the Elves races towards the battle. She is coming to rescue Prince Corin from the Schleich Empire! To be continued. The Wolf Boy

A Personification Poem

Here is a poem I wrote as a part of my language arts studies: He stands alone in the corner, Looking eager and ready, unafraid of conflict. He is ready to sweep down on his enemies and to soar above his companions. His mount can bear him across any obstacle. He stands guard over those who are week and lends aid to those who are strong. He is ready of anything. So Long, The Wolf Boy

A New Addition to our pack

Hello folks it is I the wolf boy back again after almost two year of silence. Our pack has been so busy this past year-and-a-half. Well in the last year-and-half we adopted a new wolfling and right now he is about 14 weeks old. We call him the Babe Rabbit because his hair is so soft. Also my grandparents both had a major surgery in the last year and half. I have found so many new books and authors lately that there is too many to mention. However, I will list what my three favorite authors are up to. Donita K. Paul is writing a new book which is called One Realm Beyond and it is also the first in a trilogy. Both my grandma and I are waiting anxiously for this book to come out! Bryan Davis had recently finish two series and is writing the third in another series. Andrew Peterson is writing the forth and last book in the Wingfeather Saga which is supposed to come out next April. So Merry CHRISTmsas and Happy New Year! Till next time, The wolf boy

The wolfboy is Back!

After a year-long break, I am back in the writing mood.  This past year has been hard for all of my family because my grandma was diagnosed with  A.L.L. cancer, but praise the Lord she is recovering from it and probably in the next six months she will be fully recovered from it.  Praise the Lord for his goodness.  I know that he has brought us through a lot this past year; He is good all the time!

Also I turned fourteen this past August and got a black plastic training sword for my birthday.  Speaking about swords, there has been a lot of new books that came out this past year that have swords in the story line.  I have found out about some new authors too.

HERE is a list of the new books I have found during this past year:

• Precisely Terminated and Noble Impostor, by Amanda L. Davis, who is the daughter of Bryan Davis (who is on the top ten list of my favorite authors).

• Liberator, by Bryan Davis.  This book finishes the dragons of starlight series.

• Swipe and Sneak, by Evan Angler.  Both my grandma, my mom, and I loved these books.

• Spirit Fighter, by Jerel Law.  The second one in this series is coming out in November of this year.

• The Rouge Crew, by Brian Jacques, came out in paper back this year.

• The Dragon's Tooth and The Drowned Vault, by N. D. Wilson.  Neither my grandma, nor my mom could put these book down.

• The Spirit Well, by Stephan R. Lawhead, which I cannot read yet.

• The Charlatan's Boy, by Jonathan Rogers - which I could not put down.

NOW on to the new authors I have found during this past year:

• Randy Singer, who wrote The Judge Who Stole Christmas and Dying Decoration.  I enjoyed reading both of these.

• Jane Kirkpatrick, I have not yet read any of her books but both my mom and my grandma said she was a really good author.
• Francine Rivers, I have read several of her books.  I especially enjoyed her series of five books about men from the Bible.  They were really eye opening for me.

I hoped that you liked my list of books and authors.

So long for now,

The Wolf Boy

Birthday Blast

This past week my family and I celebrated my birthday. It was a blast! In our family, when it is our birthday, we get to choose all of the meals and activities of the day. So on my birthday I started us all out with chocoloate, chocolate chip oatmeal with raisens. After we got all cleaned up (My little brother had to change his shirt after dropping too much chocolate oatmeal on his shirt!) we jumped into the van and went used book hunting! This is one of my most favorite acitivities. We found over 25 books all together. I also found a great 500 piece puzzle of a Native American wolf warrior. We have had the best time putting it together over the past couple of days. When we finished my Mom helped me glue it onto a carboard frame so that I can hang it up in my bedroom.

I also found a special, two-disc edition of Jonah (A Veggie Tale movie), which all of my little wolflings will enjoy. They love the pirate veggies in this movie.

For lunch my grandpa joined us at Hong Kong 97 for some excellent chinese food. My favorite dishes are eggrolls and chicken fried rice. I was thrilled to open two of my birthday gifts at lunch. One was my own copy of the Voyage of the Dawn Treader dvd - the other, and so far my all time favoriate gift EVER, was the Schleitch Bayala dragon and rider. I call the rider Dragon Prince and I have made him one of the central characters in my story. I wonder if Donita K. Paul has seen this dragon and rider!?!

For dinner, on my birthday, we ate cake and ice cream. I say, why waste time with other food when you can go straight to the cake and ice cream! Then we watched my new Voyage of the Dawn Treader movie of coarse!

It was a great day!

Some Of The Waiting Is Finally Over

As we are in the middle months of the year, some of the books I have waited for have finally come out. Here is a list of the ones that have already come out and I have read:

Monsters In The Hollow, by Andrew Peterson - This book was definitely worth the wait. The good news, there is a book four in the works. The bad news, it won't come out until late 2011 or early 2012 and it will finish this amazing series.

Warrier, by Bryan Davis - This book is a sort of co-series to Tales From Starlighter, only aimed at a younger audience. It was a good book and I really enjoyed it.

Tales From Starlighter, by Bryan Davis - This book was more of an adult level book, so my alpha female read it to me, editing out some content as neccessary. When I am older I will be allowed to read it on my own.

The Map Accross Time, by C.S. Lakin - This books seemed like it was a stand alone story and not really connected to the first book in the series, The Wolves of Tiabron, until you get to the end of the book. At the end of the book there are some details revealed that help you to see how the stories are connected. It also was a really good book.

The Birthing Tree, by William D. Burt - As always, Burt has knocked it out of the park again. The alpha female and I both agreed that this was more than likely the end of this series. Even though this book is Christian Fantacy, it is much more allegorical than any of the other series that I have read. I really enjoyed the new hawk-foxes, or sly-sorcs that the author introduced in this book.

The Ale Boy's Feast, by Jeffrey Overstreet - I did not feel that this book ended the series. I really think there should be another book after this one, but if the author says this is the last one in the series, then so be it. This series is more of a slow start, but once you get into the action it is hard to put down until you get to the end.

The Rogue Crew, by Brian Jaques - After being profoundly saddened that Brian Jaques died earlier this year, it was comforting to finally read the last book in this long and wonderful series. The Rogue Crew is the final book in the illustrious Redwall series, but only because the author is now deceased. The book definitely did not wrap up the series at all. I am hoping that somebody will stumble accross some notes from the the author and be able to perhaps peice together another book that will truely wrap up the Redwall series.

I will add to this list in the future and I will also list the books that I am still waiting to come out.

Bye for Now,
The Wolf Boy
