”At last”, thought the Wolves.

-----------~~

Naria was sleeping in her chamber, which was quite tidy although small. The bed was more like a pile of rugs, luckily, clean rugs. She was better off than some of the others. But she was the one who found herself in this corner-chamber first and nobody seemed to notice her existance after that. However, now she was seeing a dream.

In her dream Naria was the land itself. A far off land, a big ball of land. She felt everything that happened on her surface and could move things by her will. If it hadn’t been a drem, the feeling would have been very alien. In all her glory, Naria was so small. Smaller than ever, just a little grain in the vast nothingness, or maybe everythingness. She was just like all the other balls of land.

A thought came to her. What if she would unite herself with the other balls of land. With no strain Naria forced the earth to turn into living creatures. It took the creatures bare moments to change into the perfect creatures she wanted, but the time felt very lonely, almost too lonely to bear.

When the creatures obtaining her became perfect, she commanded them to go and become a part of the other land balls. And so they did, forming a living thread from her body to the closest ball. She felt her awareness move across the emptyness and form a link with the other ball of land. Naria was now two balls of land.

Her creations moved from ball to ball and she grew. If the balls of land she came to were already inhabited by something, she would consume the creatures and convert them into a part of herself. The more she consumed, the more she became aware of the world and the bigger and more important she felt.

Nothing stopped her growth and her fine thread took over balls of land with growing speed. Only twice had there been true resistance and although at the time they didn’t seem important, later Naria found that she wanted to mimic the forms of the valiant creatures she had consumed.

Her movements of conquer became more deliberate and she began to be picky with the balls of land she took over. At times she cut her own threads to balls she didn’t need to achieve the form she wished to. Naria no longer had time to feel lonely as all her strength went on choosing the right land balls.

When her shape was close to her goal, she saw that it would never function this way, dropped off nearly half of her ingridients and began her search for very specific balls, which weren’t of land, but instead liquid. It took her countless ages to find them, but eventually she did and for a while she felt perfect.

She couldn’t enjoy the feeling for long, because suddenly a new power entered her world. She had never seen anything like it. It too was formed from balls of land, but they weren’t alive like with her, yet they kept together in an unfamiliar form.

First she tried to ignore the intruder, but when it started to take over what was hers, she had no choice but to consume the odd being. She tried to send her perfect creatures to fight over the cold balls of land that were bound to each other some odd way. But as much of herself as she send, the intruders send back twice as much and Naria had to either abandon her position as the greatest being ever or find some way to prove herself once again.

She decided not to give up but while she thought about ways of saving herself, her rival stole more and more of her. Too late she noticed that her perfect form was shattered for ever.

Naria woke up, tried to yell and fainted.

------------~~

When the morning came, everybody looked surprised by Naria’s disappearance.

Azaelia who had envied Naria for being normal, but not average, and Izz silently entered Naria’s chamber. The chamber was cleaner than their chambers, except for the body lying on the bed with eyes opened.

A handle of an iron knife stuck out from between Naria’s ribs.

Azaelia didn’t dare go closer to the corpse as doing so wasn’t quite average. Izz stood by the doorway for a while, but saw that nobody else would do it so she had to. She walked to Naria, pulled the knife free, straightened Naria’s head and closed her eyes.

And all the while Izz touched the body, little viruses entered her body and awaited for new triumph.
