The Union of the Beast and the Beauty

A Story by Erik Hirsch

Modern Beast meets the love of his life the Beauty.

Although he too was aware of his limited time in this wretched hardened life, the wolfboy gives a smile to his beloved, whilst

whispering the words he struggled to learn, "I love you", she who is the beauty gives the wolfboy the courage to walk arm in arm, the smile that melts his heart and carries his soul to hers.The beauty and the beast are one.

On the darkest days of his life he will lay under a tree of knowledge with lovein the grass, there his feelings grow at a remarkable pace and in final peace.

The wolfboy's beloved gives the warm only he can feel with her, she holds him close and although she is warm she too feels that happiness with him. The memory of their awakening to each other is written upon their hearts as freedom for birds in flight.

Quite early one morning the wolfboy awakens to look upon himself and he finds that he has changed for the best whilst he admires himself for the first time and silently praises his memory and the image he contains inside. The marriage to his beloved encourages him to be courageous and share his image for all.

The wolfboy is no more a wolfboy, he is a man of definitive character, honour and courage, for he sees himself finally as a man because the beauty rescued him from himself. Whilst he is being rescued by the beauty he is saving the beauty from herself and her enemy, although she was not burdened with the hardships of her loved one she too has exprienced the cascading darkness of the dark knight, he's as evil as they come, the darkness he blankets her in is the most severe darkest of black and darkness, he refuses to release her from his deathgrip and so this begins the fight between the silver knight and the black knight though the silver knight is the wolfboy in disguise.

The black knight was slowly beginning to lose his powers as he fought bitterly against the silver knight.

Here it is decided who is the true winner of life and richness beyond any foreshadow of monetary value, whilst the black knight counters the silver knight's song of love with a sword, the beauty releases two not one hounds to aid the silver knight. The duel finally ends much to the delight of the beauty and she raises her head high with a smile shining upon her face that declares the silver knight is the winner even though the battle was fierce and scary such as this.

The sun finally emerges from the thick blanket of fog as there becomes the start of many years of happiness.

The beauty appears to be the goddess of love who encourages gentle winds to blow across the sea and the mountains to allow flowers to sway.

The man formally known as wolfboy often strays from his chambers to watch his goddess perform miracles one after another, he smiles so often passerby's often think he is a statue of gigantic proportions, he finally decides to walk home and make a fire that he can only provide for his goddess. After a difficult day performing miracles she goes to him and discusses unbeknownst to her of what happened and how it made life good again, he listens intently with a secret smile upon his face finally she askes him why is he smiling, and he answers quite slowly I went to see you perform your magick and miracles and it made me realise even more of why I love you so much.
