Before that he was with a gypsy caravan and they left him behind. He traveled the lands looking for family. A woman adopted him then left him behind when he shifted in front of her. She freaked out and called him a monster. He just wants to find a place where he was accepted. He said nothing bad to the gypsy caravan or the woman. They were a group of humans who couldn't handle that he shifted into a wolf. One day maybe he'll have friends and a family. He wanted to be part of something once more.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Meko searched and searched but had yet to find anyone who could accept him. It was hard enough being a fae in a human world. It was even harder when the moon shifted you into a wolf or you became a wolf at will. He was still learning how to not be shifted by force by the pull of the full moon. He had yet to find that place he belonged. Perhaps...perhaps that was because it did not exist. He was not giving up on finding it. No. Not at all. It was just the fact he would travel and travel while still not yet finding that place he belonged. He helped out people when he could. Many would stare at his birthmark. Especially kids. He could never tell anyone the secret that his strange and unique birthmark allowed him. Most assumed it was a tattoo...it was best he  let them think this. His guardian wolf was a summon upon necessary need.<br/><br/>He walked along and began looking around. He needed to find a job. It wasn't easy. He was either too young or too old. Yet it was mostly too young. Then he saw a flyer. Pulling it down and read it over. It appeared an old eccentric scientist on the outskirts of the city and up on a hill needed an assistant. This could work. Someone who was eccentric wouldn't care about what made him inhuman. He'd be more likely to be accepting and hire him. He hurried in that direction. He ran with inhuman speed and ignored the stares in his direction. Ending up on the end of town. The house he saw there was eerie and strange. The design of the building was pure marble slabs but it was forming a twisting and turning building. One side of the building seemed to loop around and form a spiral of a tower. The other side seemed to rise up like a staircase. This had to be the strangest building he had ever seen.<br/><br/>Still...it was kinda cool. He headed to the front door and blinked. The door was made of the whitest wood he had ever seen. Pulling on the lioned faced door handle knocker thing. Pulling it up and down to hit the wood several times. The person who greeted him was the oddest looking human he had ever seen. Gray hair that stood up and splayed out in every direction. Eyes that were covered by a mutated looking pair of huge glasses. He wore an outfit that looked like it mixed scientist, doctor and gothic punk all into one single outfit. He blinked a bit. "Hello. My name is Meko. I am here to apply for the position of you assistant." he said softly. Smiling warmly at the strange old man. Least...he thought it as a man.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">The old man squinted at him then pushed up the glasses. Standing on tippy toes and inpsecting the youth. Pulling him down by the dangley from his choker. "mmm...hmmmm....hmmmmm....mmhmmmm....I see." he said. Studying the birthmark. "Alright you are hired. Come in. Come in. Excuse the mess. Excuse the chaose. Come in. Come in. We are needing to begin." he said. Scuttling off into the house after letting go of the teen. "So much to do. So much to see. So much not to say. Or is it so much to say? Such a puzzle. Such a puzzle." He hurried off furhter into the labratory slashs strange house. Stopping and looked at the teen. "Well come along and don't forget to shut the door. Very important that you don't forget to shut the door." then off he went again.</span><br/><br/>Meko gagged for a second when he was pulled down by the dangle from his choker. He blinked and rubbed his neck. Scrambling after the old guy. "Wow...for an old man he moves like a speedy gonzales energizer bunny." he said to himself. Following the guy. It was a strange looking inside as it was outside. He followed the old man into the basement. For three weeks he and the old man worked together. They got to know each other. In a strange way they became like a family. He enjoyed the old man's company and vice versa.<br/><br/>It was a saturday when he got the uneasy feeling that something was going to go wrong. Of course since nothing major had ever happened even when something went wrong he dismissed it. He was working in the lab with the professor when an alarm began to sound. His birthmark shined and soon began to emit a bright light. Smoke was filling the air and the whole house was shaking. His guardian wolf...who came out on its own in times of life threatening situations...began to summon itself forth from the birthmark. A white light began to swirl and surround him. Forming ears, tail and face of a wolf. Mere moments later an ear piercing mind boggling explosion rocked the entire area he wwas in. The guardian wolf protected him yet he still felt pain. Still was covered in smoke. He screamed and the blast surrounded him.<br/><br/>He was certain he was going to die. Then a second explosion that seemed to go in the reverse direction occuried. He landed with a thud in a grassy field. Groaning as the guardian wolf faded out and went away. He groaned and had a couple tears in his shirt and pants but was otherwise virtually unscathed. The grass he laid in formed a five foot circle where the top of the grass was charred black. He whimpered for a second then slowly pushed up. Ending up on his knees and holding his head. One hand holding himself up. "ooooooooooooooow.....ugh.....what happened?" He blinked and coughed a bit from smoke in his lungs. Grass? He hadn't been anywhere near a field of grass. He lifted his head and looked around. What the....? This...what? Where was...where was everything? His head ached so bad. It felt like someone was pounding a sledge hammer on his head. He sunk down onto his stomach.<br/><br/>He would just lay here for a moment. Nothing made sense. Nothing...he also couldn't think. His body already healing but still... It took ten minutes before he could push up and truly look around. Still had smoke smudges on his face. He blinked and took everything in. The air...smelled different. The area...looked different. In the distance he could see the strangest looking building spires he had ever seen. What...was going on? This...didn't look like the city with the profesor's lab. He stayed where he was. He was so confused. This made no sense. He felt...lost and confused.
