If you wrote about Stardancer, her mate, or companion you would write under Stardancer and then the sub-heading for specifics. If you wrote about Luna and Stardancer, you would write under either Luna or Stardancer. If you have a story about the heir's pup that was chosen for a side-story it belongs under side-story wolves but if you have a story about a pup that wasn't featured in a side-story OR chosen as heir then it would be under that section). If you were to write about your own legacy, you would make your own page for that Legacy on this wiki.

## Luna

Luna stared down at her four pups Jupiter, the white one, Nova, one of the three blacks, Comet and Leo. She let out soft little barks of happiness. She sat up and shook her pelt. She needs to feed her pups. She glanced at her red coyote-looking, mate. "Sol watch the pups while I get food." She barked at him with a slight bit of warning. "You can hopefully count on me." He yelped happily. Luna rolled her eyes and padded to a carcass. Sol didn't judge her for doing the elk dance before she ate, so she shouldn't judge how goofy and outgoing he is. She sighed and pranced around the elk until she found a good spot to. eat from. Days passed and her pups were ready to leave the den. Earlier she had a dream of a few of her pups dying. She shook the thoughts out of her pelt and continued.

Give me a minute to finish I need to watch the episodes! Thanks

### Lunas appreciation

by Skyglow19

**(This takes place in the stars after she died, and also takes place before and after Jet died)**

Luna stood as she watched the wolf pups play—wolves had joined the starry skies recently–4 of them. Basil, Demeter, Iason and Catalina. She watched as Bee stood around her sick pup, Jet. Kaleidoscope was playing in the grasses, munching on some food. She watched as wolves threw her legacy around.

She realized Jet–the almost dead pup was 1% health. *Let the illness claim him.* She watched as the pup joined the starry skies ancestors. "Where am I!?" Jet cried. Luna padded to him. Glowing, "Your safe little one. I am Luna" She assured him. Jets eyes opened in awe. Luna smiled, picking him up. "Wow! Is it true that you had white puppy's?!" He gasped.

Luna nodded. She finally felt the appreciation she gets.

### Sol

#### A sun sets

by Skyglow19

sols death

It was a wonderful day out. I sniffed the air. *Sniff Sniff.* I could smell a Cow Moose and her calf. I followed the scent. Luna was dead, and I was STARVING. I bit the calf. The Moose whipped around and stomped on my skull. Suddenly I saw Luna. "No! I can't be dead!!" I cried. It was too late. I was dead.

## Eclipse

Memory, *by Duskflower*

Eclipse was alone that winter night. Millions of stars hung in the dark sky and the pale moon shone unobscured by any clouds. It was a magical night, a special night. Eclipse padded over the snow, a dark shadow against the whiteness of the snowy night in Slough Creek. The grizzled wolf was lost in memory, the memory of times long ago and times painfully recent. He remembered growing up with his mother, Luna, and his father Sol. He remembered Luna's quiet teachings, telling him about pups and family. He remembered his fun with Sol, how his father would wrestle with him and tell him stories and show him how to stalk a leaf. The day he dispersed his mother told him he would be a great father and would find a great mate. He remembered wandering the Amethyst Mountain like his parents before him, searching for that special female that he'd spend his life. He met her on the Grassy Plains, the clever, gentle wolf. She watched the starstruck lover try to impress her, her eyes filled with amusement, kindness, and eventually, love. She was a swift hunter, many an elk they caught in the cover of the darkness, their fur as dark as the night around them. She was a good mother too, nurturing her pups with great care. When Eclipse was miserable and doubted himself when a pup perished, she would sit by him quietly, smiling gently and sadly to show she was with him and that he was not alone in his mourning and his loss. She always supported her mate and was always there for him... They had high hopes for the next litter, and then it set in, the illness that ruined everything. Twilight bore it silently, always being strong and courageous despite the terror she was in. Sometimes her eyesight darkened and she could barely see or hear anything like she was underwater. Other times she lost all memory of where or who she is, sometimes stranding the daughters she didn't even recognize in the middle of nowhere. She slipped down the butte and got trapped under a rock and Eclipse had to pull her out. He saw the pain in her eyes, the worry and terror, but she dismissed it. She couldn't have him lose hope or focus on helping her instead of their daughters. The worst part was when she went hunting to feed her offspring for the last stretch of the journey. She forgot everything, she could barely see and felt she was in murky water. Her worst fears came true, Eclipse tried to help her instead of feeding and protecting their pups and their beautiful, perfect children died because of HER. Eclipse was stricken with grief at losing all of his pups, and his mate was in danger as well. The illness paralyzed her limbs and she lay on death's door, knowing it was her fault her daughters died. Eclipse sat by her, comforting her. He told her of Atlas and Nightlight, of the puppies they will raise and how strong she was and how he loved her so. In her last moments it seemed that the illness left her, and she could move. She apologized with great sadness, and told her mate goodbye. Eclipse was silent, laying beside her and seeing the love of his life in such pain. She told her mate to love again, to raise strong, healthy pups and to not miss her much, and also that she was always with him. She finally smiled, and whispered a joyful greeting to her five daughters whom she saw before her, and then passed away. Eclipse sat in the snow in the same place where he lost his whole family. He gazed up at the night sky and told her that he missed her greatly, but also loved Angel dearly as he loved Twilight, just as she made him promise when she was dying. As he gazed up at the stars, he heard his mate's loving whisper on the night breeze. 'Don't be sad Eclipse, for I am with both my children and with you.'' He turned around to see Angel standing there, her fur shining in the moonlight, the living image of beautiful Twilight. She smiled a sad smile to show she understood his loss, and sat next to him quietly, just as Twilight had done many a time long ago. (Angel is Twilight's sister).﻿

### Eclipse fatal hope

(**The story of his life after dispersing, but after his arc was over)**

By Skyglow19

Eclipse sighed. Sol, his father, wandered out of Yellowstone and never came back–however, he had Luna, his faithful mother to look up to her in the stars. He dreamed of hunting Bull elk. But, He ate cow elk and hunted hares instead. He wanted more. He set off to hunt a bull elk. None knows what happened to him, but he was never seen again.

## Dawn

A New Dawn, *by duskflower*

The forest of the ancestors was filled with stars. They danced above in the sky, they wreathed trees and there were even small stars in the ground like plants. The pups playing in the clearing seemed to glow and their pelts were sprinkled with stardust. They frolicked and chased the gleaming rodents and insects inhabiting this beautiful land. All the pups were little females and they were watched very closely by the adult wolves nearby. There was a shining black male, Eclipse and two dark females flecked with glowing orange: their mother, Twilight, and their aunt and stepmother, Angel. All the pups were sleek and healthy even though all of them (with the exception of their cousin, Holly) died of starvation. They didn't care about their pasts, or the fact they never would grow up and have a family: they loved their starry new home and they loved playing for eternity with each other. The only pup among them who was unhappy was little Dawn. Out of all of them she had been the most excited about growing up and leading a pack when she lived but now she never would. She stayed close to her parents and from the stars she watched the living, breathing pups play, and then slowly grow. Twilight worried about her daughter greatly and was always sorrowful that her pups starved and died because of her sickness. She wished she could've at least been able to feed them but she couldn't even walk in the final stages of the horrible illness. She grew angrier and angrier at the poor, sad pup who scarcely lived two months, so she picked Dawn up and took her to Luna and Sol. The cold brightness of Luna and the warm, golden light of Sol washed over the mother and daughter as they neared them. Twilight put her daughter down, looked at them in the eyes and glared. She didn't care that they were the leaders of the Moon Pack Ancestors, she was angry for her daughter's sake.

"Twilight, what is it?" Luna asked, unfazed by the open rudeness of the normally calm Twilight.

"I want you to send my daughter down to Kuma and Willow so she can live a full life." The black and golden wolf nudged the pup foward. Dawn was surprised, but she also seemed overjoyed.

"Please?" the pup gazed up at her grandparents. Luna gently licked the pup on the head.

"Are you sure, little one? You'll forget about your true parents while you still live and you'll become the daughter of Kuma and Willow. You will live a life of always feeling different, but never knowing why. Are you sure you want to live and breathe and feel pain and suffering again?" Luna lowered her head to Dawn's level and spoke gently to her. The pup nodded very seriously.

"Very well. Farewell, little Dawn. May you find your destiny." Luna howled. Dawn touched noses with her mother as she was wrapped in light. She floated downwards, through the ground and all the way to a small dug-out den where a white wolf was giving birth to her third litter. As Dawn lay next to the white wolf's side she stopped glowing and her fur turned from black to brown. Her three new siblings came into the world shortly after she took her first breath of the musty, sweet air and they began to nurse. Dawn seemed almost unrecognizable now but Twilight still knew the face of her daughter. She longed to nuzzle her daughter but she knew raising Dawn was now another mother's duty.

"Take good care of our daughter, Willow." Twilight murmured.

### A New Dawn

By Skyglow19

It was a starry night in the stars of the sky. I, Dawn, Daughter of Eclipse and Twilight looked down upon Kuma and Willow sorrowfully. I didn't want to ***die*** it was *not* in my plans! Suddenly, my mom picked me up and dragged me towards Luna and Sol, the Moon Pack Founders. "Mom!" I yipped, "What are you doing?" But Twilight ignored me. She stomped towards them.

"Give Dawn another chance at life!" Twilight angrily snarled. I froze. *Another chance at life?* Twilight dropped me and I sat in between my mother- Twilight-, and my grandmother- Luna. Luna looked at me. Her icy blue eyes stared deep into my puppy soul. I looked at her with a glimmer of hope. I had always wanted another chance at life.

"Please?" I whimpered.

"Are you sure?" Luna asked.

"More than anything," I replied a little bit more confidently. Uncomfortably, I looked Luna in the eyes.

"You will breathe air and feel pain and suffering." Luna finished.

"Send me down already!!" I yelled. Luna touched my nose, and I felt myself disappear. I opened my eyes and saw *Willow*, my new mother. I was no longer a black puppy, I was now brown. Soon my new littermates were born. I saw Twilight and my Littermates fade. I was now a Starry Skies pup, I am no longer a Moon Pack pup.

"Lets name them Dawn,\_\_\_, \_\_\_, and \_\_\_," Kuma whispered. Willow nodded. I dozed off to sleep. This is now my new life. Will I survive this time? I had a dream where I was leading my pack. I would hopefully live up to *that* if I grow up. I shall now be. Moon Pack wolves would invade my dreams very occasionally. I was no longer a Moon Pack Wolf. I am a Starry Skies Pup.

## Nightlight

### ***A Voice,***

***by Petalstar125***

I was hunting elk with Pandora, preparing for first litter to be born. Now, usually we're a good pair for hunting, but sometimes she was a bit silly, like...NOW! "Pandora, wrong elk!" I barked at her. Pandora broke quickly away from the elk she was TRYING to hunt and ran after me. We took down several elk, scattering them just about everywhere. "So Nightlight, which den should we pick? I'm thinking the highlands den," she barked, once we had finished up our hunting. I hadn't responded yet, as I was thinking about the options, but she tilted her head suddenly as if listening. "What's wrong, Pandora?" I asked. She frowned at me. "I thought I heard somebody say, 'it's called Aspen Heights'..." she replied.

*The voice is supposed to be Seri XD*

### Coyote Raid - *by Kichi Poppi (my YouTube and Wikia name)*

Nightlight sat back; watching his three sons and only little girl play in the dirt outside the den. Firestar, Pluto and Rigel were three little boisterous boys and Starlight had been named after the stars that seemed to shine in her eyes whenever she smiled. It had been a peaceful morning; food was plentiful, the pups were safe and well cared for...even the predators seemed to keep away. The territory, however, to NightLight, seemed not strong enough to him so he decided he would make it stronger. "Stay in or near the den, pups," instructed Nightlight as he rounded them up. Not one protested, because they knew their father was a serious wolf at times - even when he played with them. No sooner had he left the pups unguarded, did two coyote mates began plotting to attack one of his sons and his little girl Starlight.

When Nightlight returned, he wasn't finding it amusing to find one male and one female coyote crouching round the back of his den. Starlight, as soon as she saw her father, wandered out of the den - much to the delight of the coyotes. Furiously, Nightlight rushed the coyotes. The male one of the pair ran towards Starlight but only got as far as the first den rock before he was brutally slain by the swift Wolf of the Shadows. When the female coyote saw her mate get killed by just one bite to the neck, she fled - hoping to escape the same fate. But the wolf of the shadows wasn't showing mercy and he chased down the female coyote then took her life with the exact same bite to the neck as her mate. He knew just how ruthless coyotes can be with pups.

When he got back to the den, a grizzly bear aimed for Starlight. As he chased the grizzly away, Nightlight wondered if he would ever have peace with his pups again...

### Nightlights last breath

He struggled to breathe. Nightlight was cold. (This is a really short story) There was no food–which meant no survival. Suddenly he collapsed. He saw his ancestors waiting for him. Luna, Twilight, Destiny, Ara, and Kuro, they were waiting for him. He whimpered as his life was depleted. He took his last breath. "I love you, Moondancer." He whispered, his life slipping away.

"Goodbye, father... I love you." Moondancer sobbed.

## Moondancer

The Loss of Many, *by Lauren Mountainblade*

Moondancer was awakened by a familiar scent. She looked up to see Pandora, her mother, smiling at her. "Come along sleepy head! You have a long day ahead of you!" Pandora prodded Moondancer with her muzzle until the pup got onto her feet. Destiny, Ara, and Kuro weren't far ahead. Moondancer caught up with Destiny who was hanging at the edge of the group. Pandora led the way. "Where did Nightlight go?" asked Moondancer, her paws dragging. Destiny didn't seem to have heard her at first but replied with "Dad's out getting a elk." she said still staring into the distance. Moondancer heard a rustle and realized how far behind they were. "Let's go Destiny!" Moondancer said nudging Destiny. Moondancer picked up the pace but Destiny still lacked behind. Suddenly a coyote jumped onto Destiny. Moondancer looked at the scene in horror, her eyes wide as she watch the coyote sink it's teeth into her sister. Moondancer yelped when the coyote turned its gaze to her. It's mouth still stained with blood. Nightlight rushed out of the undergrowth. His mate following closely behind. They pounced on to the coyote and it died instantly. But there was no time to celebrate. Destiny was dead.

Moondancer was still shocked from Destiny's death when Ara asked her if she was okay. Moondancer turned to her sister, concern shining in her eyes. Moondancer stared at her feet. The fear she had felt when the coyote's beady eyes had looked at her came rushing back as she replayed the experience in her head. Moondancer looked up to see her sister smiling at her. She was about to tell her everything when a coyote came. It seemed as if the world stood still as the coyote grabed Ara and quickly ran away. Ara died from shock when the coyote touched her. Nightlight was just coming back from getting food for Kuro. Pandora ran after it and killed it swiftly. Nightlight ran up the the coyote's corpse taking Ara's body from it's grasp. Another one of Moondancer's siblings were dead.

Pandora, Nightlight, Kuro, and Moondancer traveled far towards the summer hunting grounds. Many predators were chased off but harmony did not last. Nightlight and Pandora were moving the pups and left Kuro for a minute to get Moondancer. When they got closer Pandora went to check on Kuro, she brought back his body. His wounds were dealt by a coyote. All of Moondancer's siblings were dead. A loss of many...

### Moondancers quest

Moondancer pinned down a coyote, her 89th one. Her feeble old body was weak. Her eyes filled with pride. She felt terror just thinking about her littermates. She got her revenge. But what about the grizzlies? She wanted to take out a cub. She attempted to, but all 7 times she failed. Her 8th time, she died. The bear swung at her. She mustn't die. Her revenge quest must be fulfilled. She failed to get the cub.

## Stardancer

Stardancer awoke from her dream. It was the same one she had had for weeks now, of the loss of her beloved Geo. Stretching, she decided to get an early start on her search of the mysterious white wolf that she had had visions of. While she had searched the cliffsides of Amythest Mountain for days now she had not once seem this she-wolf. Sighing she rose to her paws and began the search. After wandering to the far west she decided to look at the top of the mountain. She had looked there many times before, but she had also looked everywhere else.

Climbing the steep hill, her thoughts turned once more to the late love of her life. She remembered his beautiful golden pelt and they way he held himself with easy assurance. There was no one she would rather be with in raising her pups, which is why she was grateful the ancestors had been merciful in picking a she-wolf companion. Hauling herself up the last few feet, she stood underneath the trees and let her eyes adjust to the rising sun. She could see the outline of a wolf, facing away from her, a male by the looks of him. It was hard to tell but it looked like he had a lighter pelt color and...and...

Her breath caught in her throat, she felt her legs buckle out from underneath her and her body started to sway. Could it be? After all this time? "Geo?" she called, in a voice barely more than a whisper. He turned towards the noise and Stardancer thought her heart would burst. It was him with his endlessly deep amber eyes and sun-pelt. He stared at her in open shock, and it looked like he might pass out on the cliff.

Stardancer inched forward until she could see him more clearly. "Geo" she repeated "Is that you?"

"Stardancer" he breathed, and suddenly they were one, pressing their noses into each other's fur and breathing in the scents they had so dearly missed. The gestures turned playful and they pounced and playbowed, their laughter ringing through the trees. It seemed the pack was reunited.

### Stardancers Collar

By Skyglow19

Stardancer was playing with her pups. She suddenly heard the plane and started freaking out. Luckily, Geo was there. Geo always helped her calm down. *Always.* The pups noticed their mom looked nervous. "What's wrong? Draco asked, "Is there a problem?" Stardancer looked down at the pup, who was barely 13 lbs. Mira bounced after Draco. Stardancer took a deep breath. "No, go play now!" She snapped.

A day later, Stardancer was taking Draco to the River to wash them off before the big journey. The plane started to soar through Slough Creek, and Stardancer rushed down towards the River faster and faster. As she began to wash him off, an elk smashed into her, making her lose her balance. "Mom!" Draco yelped. Stardancer had dropped Draco after losing her balance.

She dove under the water to try and get him, but it was too late. Her heart was struck with grief. She swam deeper and deeper, and her heart sank when Stardancer witnessed Draco's lifeless body sinking into the water. She dove deeper and dragged his body to shore. It was too late, he was dead. Stardancer cried as she trotted towards the den.

"What have I done...?" She whispered with grief. She knew that life was not easy, but she wasn't expecting one of her pups to die. Geo strolled towards her. He noticed she had a despaired look. But Stardancer just averted her gaze, slowly sauntering towards the den. She had felt despair and grief. She walked back to the den and walked towards the pups with an unhappy face.

"Where's Draco?" Quartz yipped. Stardancer froze. *How am I going to tell them?* She thought helplessly. She took a deep breath. She explained what happened in a sorrowful tone. Thyme stared at her mom. *Please, Oh please don't hate me!* Stardancer thought with a dejected tone to her thought. Thyme walked towards her mom. Stardancer was expecting Thyme to yell at her, but instead, the young pup brushed her muzzle against her leg.

"He's safe now," Thyme said. "He's in a better place now," Thyme said it with a hint of regret. Stardancer slept the day away in sorrow. No matter what her pups did, she would never be the same. Wisp had *tried* to comfort her, but Stardancer just snapped at her. She could hear Geo and Wisp talking as she tried to doze off.

"Is she going to be alright?" Geo asked. "I'm extremely worried about her,"

Wisp looked at her brother, then at Stardancer, who had a depressed look on her face. "I don't know."

"She's been so.. Downcast lately." Geo whispered miserably.

"Perhaps grief is hitting her *too* hard." Wisp guessed.

Stardancer heard them talking. Was she acting weird? Was she acting down-hearted lately? She awoke the next morning, and successfully washed the rest of 3 pups. They could finally take the pups on the journey to the rendezvous site. Suddenly, a coyote launched towards Thyme, and Stardancer was convinced she wouldn't get there in time. Then, she saw Quartz scratch the coyote, holding off the coyote from eating her sister.

Stardancer launched herself at the coyote. *This buffoon shall die in the name of the Starry Skies Ancestors!* She thought pridefully. The coyote ran for its life, screaming. Stardancer sprinted towards the pups and nuzzled Quartz. She gave her pups the love the she had stored for so long, and they gave her the love she deserved.

Stardancer heard the airplane and cried aloud, "No! They're coming for me!" Her pups raced towards her to try and comfort her. She would never forgive the plane for cursing her with this tight, and uncozy collar. She let out a cry to warn Geo of the humans. Geo sat beside her and groomed her to calm her down. She would never be the same after yesterday,

## Parsley

**The story of Parsley`s[possible]Death**

### A Parsleyseed`s destruction

**THIS TAKES PLACE BEFORE HER PUPS DISPERSED(She got unlucky)**

By Skyglow19

**Parsley peered through the bushes. A herd of elk were passing. Cow elk to be exact. "Azor!" She barked quietly. "Elk!" She spotted a young calf. Her instincts were going wild. She and Azor had traveled back to Amethyst Mountain with their pups to defeat the Wapiti pack—her old enemy. They were inside their territory.**

"Now!" **Parsley demanded. The elk kicked her, but Parsley was stronger than a cow elk+a elk calf. She wasnt. The elk crushed her skull, and Parsley died.**

### A Parsley's Seret

By Skyglow19

Parsley sat by the dens edge. Where was Daisy? Her mother Meadow always said, "She's.. On an adventure." But Parsley knew the truth. She was killed by a Coyote. Bluebell was viciously killed by the Dark Lake Pack. She had known, but her siblings were clueless. She carried that weight in her shoulders.

TBC

## Lunala

### Lunalas secret

Lunala sat down—she felt pressured–as if she were supposed to just like Luna–but she wasn't. *I don't deserve this.* She would repeat. She was weak and relied on Copper for hunts. Shadow had dispersed and Copper died. Lunala suddenly heard rustling in the bushes. "Who's there?!" She howled. A large white wolf appeared. "I am Luna. Don't feel pressured." She said. Lunala blinked. She was confused but nodded. Luna slipped into the shadows. "Wait!" Lunala barked. It was too late, she had disappeared.

## Lark

By SilverShewolf9

**Loss and love**

Lark twitched and rolled around in his light sleep inside of the den. He woke up in panic, giving Swallow a light push with his paw. She didn’t seem to care, and continued her sleep, making little puppy noises and twitching her small paws. Lark looked lovingly at her and the rest of his sleeping pups.

The remaining pups.

His heart ached when he looked at the spot where Soot used to sleep. Their little daughter who had strayed too far from the den, and then the coyote came...

Lark’s eyes filled up with tears when he remembered Soot’s death, and the perfect recreation of the heart shattering moment he just experienced in his nightmare. He needed to go out a little to clear his mind. He stood up and crawled toward the entrance of the den as quiet as he could and stepped out.

Slough Creek was very beautiful at night. The moonlit forest and river shone like they were made of silver.

He saw Cinder sit at the edge of the cliff on the little hill where they had their den. His mate was staring down at her paws. Her tail was still, and he saw her ears folded backwards. She looked like a wolf-shaped rock where she sat silent in the moonlight. His heart began to whimper when he saw her like this. He was afraid of how she would handle all of this. Her past mate and pups had all been killed and she had already endured the loss of family enough.

Now it’s happening all over again.

He quietly walked up to her and sat down by her side, stroking his silvery gray fur against her midnight black pelt.

“Cinder...” he whispered gently, “I...I just wanted you to know that I’m here for you whatever you’re going through. I can’t imagine the pain you’re in right now...”

She turned to look at him shyly, and seeing the endless rivers of pain and despair in her soul made him whine sadly. She closed her eyes and pressed her muzzle against his shoulder and let out a quiet, mournful howl that made Lark’s grief overflow. He howled with her, but not loud enough to wake the pups.

Their heartbreaking song was like a soft breeze over the valley, carrying the message of a loved one’s death, and would have made any wolf’s heart ache.

Cinder pulled away from her mate and looked out over the creek. Lark felt something stir inside her, something dark.

“I’m going to kill every coyote....” she said with a voice so full of grief and hatred, it made Lark shiver. He really hated seeing her like this.

He gave her a small soft nuzzle, his emerald green eyes looking deep into her golden amber. The hatred in her voice disappeared and was replaced by a soft, loving tune when she looked at her mate.

“I’ll take the night patrol alone, you go get some sleep.” she whispered.

She stood up and took off into the night, and Lark crawled back in the den. Raven lifted her head a little when he came in, but a big yawn later she was back to sleep. He laid down on his and Cinder’s sleeping spot and closed his eyes, in hope of getting some sleep without being haunted by more gruesome nightmares.

 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

When Lark opened his eyes he was in a forest. The trees were huge and sparkling with starlight, and the full moon in the midnight sky was bright and beautiful. Little flares were dancing across the land, and filled the world with a warm, yet mystic light. The air was pure and soft, everything smelled of the secrets of the night. He stood up and looked around. He was dreaming. But there was something about the enchanting and star-filled place that told him this was no ordinary dream.

“Lark.” someone woofed gently.

He turned around, and saw a dark gray she-wolf walking towards him from the trees. Her fur was shimmering with the light of a thousand stars, and her yellow eyes were glowing with a warm light. To his surprise she was slightly transparent. Her paw prints had a faint glow of silver, and she looked like she was made solely of stardust and light.

“Who are you?” he asked, surprised by her sudden appearance.

“My name is Moondancer.” she said. “I’m one of the Moon Pack Ancestors.”

Lark was stunned. His mother Demeter had told him about the Ancestors when he was a pup. About how the spirits of the deceased Moon Pack wolves lived on after death in a world full of starlight, and how they hunted across the skies.

So this wolf was one of them?

She was his ancestor?

“Where are we?” Lark wondered, and looked around over the shimmering landscape.

“We are in your dreams.” Moondancer woofed softly. “When you sleep your spirit is one step closer to the realm of the Ancestors, and we are able to meet for a short amount of time.”

Lark suddenly realised, if this wolf came from the world of spirits, maybe she knew something about Soot.

“Soot, is she...”

He couldn’t say anything more. The grief was still too close. He could see a shard of  sorrow in Moondancer’s eyes, as if she knew the feeling, and remembered something.

“Yes, Soot is with us.” she whispered.

Lark’s heart took a leap in his chest. He frantically looked around Moondancer and concentrated all his senses in hope of catching a glimpse of Soot’s dark fur or her soft little howl.

But the forest was silent, and his own breathing was the only sound in the endless night.

He lowered his head in disappointment and sorrow.

“She’s not here, is she...” he whispered silently.

Moondancer looked down and bent her shimmering ears slightly backwards.

“No, Soot isn’t here.” she woofed sadly. “Everything here is new for her, she needs time.”

Something about Moondancer’s expression made Lark wonder. The pain in her eyes...she seemed to know exactly what he felt. Had she...also lost a loved one?

“Why did you come to me?” Lark broke the silence, and looked at her wonderingly, his gaze still heavy.

“It’s about your mate Cinder.” Moondancer woofed.

Lark’s blood froze, and his heart began to beat faster. No no no! He was worried that Cinder might not be able to handle another loss, that her broken heart would never heal, make her do something really bad.

The she-wolf saw the panic rising inside him.

“She’s okay, you don’t have to panic.” she said calmingly. “For now.”

“W-what? What’s happening to her?!” Lark breathed, still shaken up from the knowledge his mate might be in danger.

“Her heart is badly wounded, and she’s scared. I can feel she has experienced more loss than any wolf this young should have. She’s afraid that the rest of her pups will die, that she will get too attached to them. Her need for closure is threatened.” Moondancer’s voice was low, as if she dreaded to tell him the news.

Lark simply stared at her. He loved Cinder so deeply, her explanation alone made him feel physical pain.

“I know how she feels, Lark.” she woofed sorrowfully and lowered her head. “That’s why I came here. Let me tell you a story.”

Lark calmed down a little, and began to listen to Moondancer’s story.

\*

“When I was a pup,” Moondancer told him, “I lost my siblings. All of them. I saw them die in front of me, and heard them cry for help in despair...until the light in their eyes faded...”

She closed her eyes, but Lark didn’t need to see them to know they were filled with the deepest of grief. So this is the shard of pain he saw. She lost her family too...

Even if she was a part of the Moon Pack Ancestors now and reunited with her deceased siblings, the memory of their deaths still burned her heart.

“When I had my pups,” she continued, eyes open again “I always kept a distance to them. I was terrified that I would get too attached to them and lose them, like I lost my siblings. I couldn’t stand the thought of feeling a pain so deep again. I was very aggressive towards all other animals, and even killed them in my obsession with revenge. I thought that if I kept killing them, it would somehow fix things, and they wouldn’t dare touch my family again. I thought I could protect my pups better if I wasn’t so close to them, if I spent my time patrolling and watching the borders instead of playing with them and my mate. That it would keep me from getting distracted, and ease my pain if something really did happen one day. But what really happened was that I lost the love a mother shares with her pups, what I now understand is one of the most important things of them all. Thankfully my mate was there for them, but I wasn’t...”

Lark listened closely. Her story reminded him a lot of Cinder’s. Moondancer looked at him, her bright yellow eyes glowing softly.

“All of them survived.” she woofed, but there was no joy in her voice. “All three litters. But even if they survived I didn’t feel that way, because our bonds were so weak. In the end I had already lost them, because...I never really had them.”

A sudden light breeze in the treetops carried the faint sound of playing pups. Both Lark and Moondancer sat there in silence as the sound slowly faded, and the starlight leaves returned to be still once more.

The she-wolf took a step forward, and looked right into her descendant’s eyes.

“Please don’t let Cinder make the same mistake I made.” she whispered. “Don’t let her love fade.”

In a heartbeat, she was gone as fast as she came. Lark turned around in confusion.

“Moondancer?!”

Like a quiet whisper in the wind, he heard her voice one last time.

“The ones we love stay in our hearts forever...but we need to have loved them first. Farewell Lark.”

 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Lark bolted awake with a surprised bark. Something soft, but heavy and with claws, had landed on his nose. He stood up quickly, completely forgetting he was in the den, and hit his head in the rocky ceiling. With a groan he laid down again, annoyed by his never-ending clumsiness curse.

The soft, heavy lump on his nose had been tossed across the den when he stood up so fast, and it’s dark-furred face was grinning at him upside down. Lark was annoyed by the rough wake-up, but seeing his daughter Swallow in such a weird pose with her all too well-known mischievous smirk practically glowing in the first rays of sunlight, made him happy.

“Gotcha!” she squeaked happily. “Wake up Dad, it’s already dawn!”

Lark crawled towards her, and gave her a playful push with the nose. She fell over, rolled around, and ended up on her back again. She let out a joyful bark, and her tail wagged faster than an aspen leaf in a swift breeze. Her siblings were all asleep, but had woken up when she flew across the den and landed just a nose-length from her brother Atlas, who squeaked in surprise and woke his sisters.

Dove, the biggest in the litter, yawned and looked playfully at Swallow.

“Let me guess, you were chasing your tail over Dad’s nose again?” she woofed teasingly.

Swallow turned around and pounced at Dove, snapping after her tail and paws.

“Oh, I’m going to chase my tail over *your* nose!” she barked, and pretended to snarl aggressively.

Dove dodged Swallow’s ‘attempt’ at an attack and stood up with a smirk, circling her sister, ready to fight. Swallow jumped on Dove’s back, only to find herself on the ground upside down for the third time when Dove rolled around trying to shake her off. A snapping, black, furry ball of pups and little growls rolled around in the den. Raven, Bristle, Mink and Atlas looked at their sisters, very entertained by the scene. Lark really loved his pups.

“Okay, little fur balls, let’s go out.” he barked. “Where is Mom?”

Raven jumped out of the way of Dove and Swallow, and began trotting towards the den’s entrance.

“She’s probably outside.” she woofed. “She took the night patrol last night, didn’t she Soo...”

With a slight gasp Raven fell silent when she realized what she was about to say. She lowered her head, folded her ears backwards, sorrow and pain seen in her eyes when she quietly walked outside. All the pups stopped grinning and playing, a heavy silence filled the den. Even Swallow and Dove let go of their fight. They trotted after Raven outside, with their heads down and tails still. Lark looked one last time at Soot’s sleeping spot, and with a sigh of sadness he left the den.

Outside the pups were already playing again, but with less noise and energy. They missed their sister very much. But at least they were pups and Lark knew that they were soon going to play normally again.

He suddenly remembered his dream, and looked around for Cinder. It didn’t take long for him to spot her. She sat at the same edge of the cliff like she did last night, and Lark walked up to her again.

He sat down beside her.

“Did you find something on your patrol?” he woofed carefully.

She continued to look over the valley, seemingly unfazed by his presence.

“Nothing new, just...coyotes....” the dark, hateful tone in her voice surfaced again. Lark gave her a little lick on the cheek.

“I see.” he stood up. “Don’t you want to come spend some time with the pups? Swallow is already at it again. She fell over three times in one minute while wrestling in the den. She’s such a goofball…” He chuckled carefully, grinning.

But Lark’s soft grin vanished when Cinder only closed her eyes and stifled a pained whine.

“They need all the love we can give, especially right now.” he woofed softly.

Cinder turned her head to look at him, then the pups. For a second Lark could see her longing for closure with the playing pups, but it quickly disappeared, and she turned her gaze away.

“No, I’ll stay here.” she woofed sadly. “I’ll go for patrol again soon, and I might as well hunt.”

A quiet whisper under her breath.

“The pups will be better of with you than with *me*...”

“Hey, don’t say that.” Lark looked at her with a concerned expression. “I need to tell you something.”

Cinder looked back at him, worried.

“What? Is it something wrong with the pups?!”

“No Cinder. It’s *you*...” Lark’s voice was sorrowful, but clear. “You are so distant. Ever since Soot’s...death, you have barely spent any time with the pups. You go out patrolling all the time, you barely eat. I’m worried about you!”

She was silent, looking back down at her paws, thinking about what he was saying. She knew it all was true.

“I’m sorry Lark, it’s just so...it’s better to focus on patrolling and keeping the territory strong. What if there’s a threat we’re missing, what if the rest of the pups die because I wasn’t strong enough, because I didn’t protect them?!”

She rapidly stood up and looked at her mate, despair in her rising voice and pain filled eyes.

Lark looked down. It would hurt, but he had to tell her.

“They’re already dying Cinder...” he whined quietly “They’re physically alive and well but...we won't have forever with them. This time we have now is precious, it's now we show them how much we love them so they can remember it for the rest of their lives. It's now we strengthen our bonds." Lark let out a shaky sigh. "But right now your bonds are weakening. Without the closure and love that binds a mother to her pups...will they ever be alive for her? Haven’t she already lost them?”

His eyes filled up with sorrow as he looked back at her. He could feel something inside. A familiar she-wolf’s voice in his head. A whisper from the starry world far away.

*The ones we love stay in our hearts forever...but we need to have loved them first*

Cinder’s eyes were golden oceans of grief, and his words were like winds from a sudden storm, creating waves of tears. Her emotions couldn’t be held back anymore. She pressed her head against him.

“I want to stay close to them.” she whined sorrowfully. “I want to love them, but...I...I can’t stand the thought of losing them! It was my fault that bear found my mate and pups that day, my fault my family was killed before my eyes, *my fault* Soot died so young before she even got a chance to live! If I’m distant it hurts less, and I can’t afford to be distracted, never again. I can do whatever I can to protect them. The thought of losing someone I love again... i-it *kills* me Lark!!! It kills me…”

“Cinder, someone once told me that the ones we love stay in our hearts forever, no matter what,”

Lark’s voice was low-pitched, and he spoke directly to her ear.

“but we need to have loved them first.”

They sat there in silence. The sound of a bald eagle’s screech echoed from far away, and the pups playing around nearby. Cinder let go of Lark, and looked over the valley. Shards of sorrow still sparkling in her eyes.

“How do you stay so strong, Lark...” she woofed, looking back at him. “You can still play with the pups and comfort me. Even when you lose a loved one, feel all alone, or...fall over things all the time.”

She grinned slightly while mentioning that last one, and Lark had never been so glad he was the clumsy goof he was.

She continued with a sigh.

“How do you do it?”

“I might seem strong at times, but the truth is I’m just as broken. My heart shatter every time someone mentions Soot, loneliness hurts really bad, and many times it feels like my clumsiness is a sign that I was never meant to live.” He woofed cautiously. “But I keep on going whatever life throws at me, I can’t give up. And I’ve always believed it’s better to have loved and lost than not having loved at all.”

Cinder suddenly stepped forward and gently licked him on the muzzle. He could sense she was still sad, but instead of pure despair and pain her eyes were now also filled with love and warmth.

He was surprised to see her come close like this, she usually wanted to keep a little distance which he was okay with. But having her close at her own will and seeing the love in her eyes melted his heart, and he wished the moment could last forever.

“I love you Lark.” she woofed with a warm and loving tune. “More than everything.”

“I love you too Cinder.” he responded, and softly gave her a lick back on the muzzle. “You are my sun and my moon, my one true light. I would walk through fire for you. I love you so.”

She grinned back at him lovingly, and whispered in his ear.

“And you know I’d do the same for you.”

With one last gesture of gently touching noses, she turned away and walked up to the pups, where Swallow had accidentally stepped on Bristle’s tail and she had called her “harebrain”, and now they were playfully fighting all over again.

Cinder snuck up behind Swallow just when she was about to launch herself over her other sister Mink, and carefully pulled her fluffy tail so Swallow instead of taking a leap forward fell flat on her belly. She turned her head around, looking accusingly at her mother.

“Hey, no fair! I was just about to finish her off!”

Cinder grinned teasingly at her daughter.

“You sure? Dad did tell me you ended up upside down three times while wrestling with him and Dove? Maybe you need to work on your strategy on how to finish someone off?”

Swallow stood up with a smirk. Turning down a challenge was something she didn’t know existed.

“Wanna volunteer?” She woofed with a smirk.

Cinder chuckled lightly.

“You really want to turn your old Mama into a chew toy?”

“You asked for it!” she barked and jumped up on Cinder’s back, fiercely growling and biting her fur.

Cinder only needed to lightly shake her body for the wrestling pup to fall off with a surprised squeak. She didn’t fall over on her back, but an ambush from behind by her brother fixed that detail.

“That makes it the fourth time!” Atlas smirked teasingly, and Swallow playfully snapped at his paws, grinning.

“Oh buzz off Attie! You were just in my blind spot!”

“You must have more than one of those though.” He grinned back, not letting her slither away.

Dove couldn’t resist to join their playful quarrel.

“Looks like someone has inherited Dad’s clumsiness curse!” she howl-barked loudly.

“Let’s find out if you have too, shall we?” Swallow growled.

“The winner gets the biggest pile of food!” Bristle squeaked excitedly.

“Challenge accepted!” Mink and Raven barked in unison.

Soon all there was was a snapping, squeaking mess of Cinder and the pups playing together, their dark pelts turning light with dirt and dust as they rolled around in the newborn sunlight of the dawn.

Lark couldn’t describe how much joy, love and relief he felt while seeing Cinder play around with the pups. He hadn’t seen that grin on her face or her tail wag that much ever. His family were one again.

*“Thank you Moondancer.”* he thought. *“Thank you for helping Cinder see the light.”*

And for a brief moment, Lark saw a faint semblance beside his loving family. A she-wolf made of starlight, with bright yellow eyes, who radiated gratitude and love.

*“Moondancer! And...”*

He froze. His heart pounded faster than if he would’ve had an elk herd in his chest.

There beside Moondancer, another smaller wolf with a pelt as dark as the night sprinkled with stardust, and silvery eyes made of moonlight. Her sparkling tail wagged when she looked at the playing pups and she-wolf before her.

Her family.

*“Soot!!”*

Lark looked at his shimmering daughter, he saw the love and longing in her eyes, and he felt a small tear fall. But not only a tear of sadness. This was also a tear of joy and love, and all the emotions he felt from seeing his lost beloved daughter again.

The two starlit wolves looked at the family with a gaze of pure love, then disappeared in a heartbeat, and Lark only saw his 6 pups and Cinder again.

But when a light breeze swept over his fur, he could swear he felt a little puppy body press her side against his.

“We miss you, Soot,” he whispered quietly in the wind. “and you will stay in our hearts forever. We will always love you.”

The breeze was gone, and so was the feeling of Soot against his side. Lark trotted over to his family and joined their playing, and for the first time in very long, he finally felt whole again.

###                  Bears and a Lonely Cinder.

By Skyglow19

It was a sunny day, and Lark was about to go hunting, when a bear ambushed him at the rendezvous site/Den Site. Before he could tell the pups to go in the den, he launched at the bear. The bear thrashed at Lark, blood trickling down his fur. Lark tried to fend it off, but he died trying to defend his family. The bear killed Lark and took off with Swallow, Raven, and Mink. Lark could see the stars, but had chosen to roam the land as a ghost, to watch over his pack.

Lark watched as Cinder would spend less and less time with the pups, and always repeating "Your father is on an... Adventure to the stars." One night, he decided to visit Cinder in her dreams. Lark stared softly at her. Cinder froze as his coat became more clear. It became clear it was him. Cinder looked overjoyed.

"Lark!" Cinder cried, "I miss you so much!" Lark rested his chin on her.

"I miss you too. And so do the pups." He responded with a somewhat worried tone.

"You need to spend time with the pups... They need you. *You.* Cinder." He continued, "Promise me one thing."

"What?" Cinder asked.

"Play with the pups for me. Tell them I miss them." Lark barked softly.

Cinder nodded, "I will."

Over the course of the next few months, Cinder started to bond with the pups, and that made Lark overjoyed. A bear and a Lonely Cinder. Cinder wasn't lost to the darkness.

## Atlas

### Atlas's fight

By Skyglow19

It was a bright, sunny day when I, Atlas encountered a bear. Storm by my side, I bit the bear, I took lots of damage, I swing at the bear. "Atlas...!" Storm cried. The bear swinged at me. Before I could react, I collapsed. I almost died. Storm was dragging my weak body to Saddle Meadows den. The bear had savagely ripped off my collar. The fight had also resulted in giving me a limp.

Four weeks later....

I had finally woken up. Storm was by my side; she had marked our territory. I woke up to four, healthy pups. "Let's name them, shall we?" Storm suggested. I nodded softly. "I was thinking, Blizzard for one of the girls and Bear for one of the boys." I responded. Storm nodded. Storm nudged one of the pups. "Rain for the other girl, and Thunder for the other boy." Storm spoke. I nodded Softly. *Bear, Blizzard, Rain and Thunder.* I repeated.

## Rain

### Rains stormy end(Basically how she died)

By Skyglow19

Rain pulled through the storm. It was a dark, stormy night and she was struggling. She knew she would die soon. Then, and only then, lightning struck her. She collapsed. She was dead. She entered the starry skies ancestors. "Father?" She wailed. Atlas appeared and dashed to Rain and hugged her. Rain was greeted by all the ones she loved. "Autumn.. Splash.. Tempest... Rocky.. Winter.. Ash.. I'm so sorry..." She cried. Winter walked up to her mother and smiled.

"No need to be sorry. You did what you could..." Autumn sighed. Splash jumped onto Rain. Autumn stared at Splash, being the oldest pup to have died. "Get off mom!" Winter and Autumn cried. Winter and Autumn were more serious than Splash. Splash seemed to be more playful and mischievous. Tempest seemed to keep to herself. "But I want badger ride!!" Splash complained. Rocky rolled his eyes and went back to play with Atlas. Ash nodded as he jumped up next Splash. Rain chuckled, "Badger rides for every pup. All aboard!"

### Rain in the stars

By Skyglow19

Rain watched as Splash and Droplet tusseled. They were very close when Splash was alive. But they were all alive in the stars now. Dewdrop sat next to her/his mon. Rain loved her pups. But she had lost 6/12 of her pups in her 3 litters. Rain was the Great-Grand Puppy of Luna, but the Ancestors were divided into Territories— Which was divided by Packs.

She wanted to venture to the Starry Skies Pack land to talk to her Grandson, Geo. But its Forbidden, so Rain never got to. Suddenly, Rain started to pour in the stars. "RUN!" Misty yelled. Nightlight touched the Stormy Skies Border. "It's not raining, Wolves are joining the Dawn/Dark Moon Pack Territory." Atlas howled.

## Misty

### Misty's secret side

By Skyglow19

Misty was looking at Wisp, her leg deformed.. It made her feel strange. Like as if Wisp would not survive. She picked up Wisp and dragged her to the den. Wisp tended to keep to herself. Misty played with Wisp quietly. As Jasmine turned around a bear was targeting her. Misty bit the bear like there was no tomorrow. Yawning, Aspen laid down next to Wisp. "You can do it Wisp!" Aspen barked. Wisp looked at her brother. Misty headed off to hunt. Would Wisp even live?

## Rosetta

### Is it true?

By Skyglow19

I walked outside of the den. "No, pups. Stay inside.' I barked. "I'll be back." I went to go hunt. I found some pretty weak prey to hunt. Although I have a horrible sense of direction, I can still hunt yknow! I came across a elk herd. I ran into the hunt of an Elk Calf. I bit it, and ripped into it.

An angry mama elk started kicking me. The Cow Elk kicked my skull and pinned me to the ground. I started to see stars. Suddenly Mouse walked up to me.

"Your dead now." Mouse said creepily.

"What?" I responded.

"The elk killed you..." Parsley growled lowly. *My grandmother!* I thought.

"Oh.." I said.

"So... I am not alive?"

Azor looked at me and sighed. "Yes. You are **dead**."

"Oh." I said sadly.

"What about Troyus?!" I cried.

"He can take care of them." Meadow chirped in.

I was grief strucken. I am not with my pups. Is this True? Is this true?

## Side-story wolves

### Quartz

A New Path, *by Hala Arisona (youtube) / Static Heart (wiki)*

Quartz stood atop the hill's crest, gazing out onto the landscape which stretched before her. An unsettling feeling hung in the air, and the grey wolf knew she shouldn't stay for long. She reassured herself that she would only remain there long enough to finish her quest, and then set off again- to where, she didn't yet know. She could see what looked like an array of structures in the distance, but the scent of humans had long since vanished. It seemed abandoned, reclaimed by nature. But as she began to tread through the rolling fields of wispy grass, a tinge of loneliness settled in her heart. Everything about this place was unfamiliar, and she had no pack to explore it with. Would she be able to face the area without a companion?﻿

### Clover

The Handsome Stranger, *by duskflower*

Clover scanned the bluffs, all her senses sharp. Her head whipped around, she heard a rustling in the bushes and could smell the scent of wolf. In one swift movement she lunged at the wolf and had it pinned on the ground. The wolf she had pinned was a handsome male, as black as the night sky, but to her dismay she realized he was a dispersal and not a member of this pack. With a sigh she got off of him and the male gazed up at her with a slight smile on his face."Is that how you greet others?" he asked teasingly. Clover was silent and regretted her mistake even more. He lowered his body in a playbow, his tail wagging. Suddenly he darted away and then looked over his shoulder to see if she followed. Clover sighed heavily, and then felt a sudden spark of anger at this stranger. Couldn't he see that she wished he was a wolf she could fight? Clover turned around and walked away, hoping that the male would leave and a member of the Elevation Pack would come to investigate. She waited down the hill for a while, listening for pawsteps signaling him leaving. She heard a wolf walk around for several moments and she crept up the hill to see if it was an Elevation wolf. Alas, it was that same male. When he saw her he play-bowed again and invited her to chase him. Clover felt her annoyance become anger and felt herself run after the male and chase him for a while. He made several sharp turns to throw her off his tail but when she got too far behind he stopped and waited for her. Snorting, she caught up and chased him for a few more wolf-lengths before she suddenly was able to grab his leg in her mouth and pull him to the ground. Clover laughed heartily at the stunned expression on his face and began to laugh heartily. He joined in and they both sat there and laughed. "I-I have to go. I need to fight another wolf, I'm trying to learn their secrets." Clover said regretfully. She was surprised at how much information she divulged to this strange, good-looking male."Is that why you keep picking fights?" the dark male chuckled. "Well, good luck and don't get yourself hurt. The Elevation Pack doesn't play chase, but I trust that you can take care of yourself." He looked at her warmly and Clover felt embarrassment rising in her chest. She stumbled away, filled with sorrow that she had to leave him. What was wrong with her?! Just because some stupid...handsome...male was nice to her than she decided she didn't want to do this anymore?! She was so caught up in her thoughts she nearly ran into another stranger, an Elevation female. She snarled. "Just where do you think you're going on my pack's territory?" Clover said nothing but a low growl rose in her throat. This is what she had been waiting for! Adrenaline pumped through her veins as she attacked the female. She didn't expect the female to fight back quite so hard and the fight was rough. After she had collected a few serious bites across her body she began to panic and tried to pull away but the female was intent on killing her! She yelped and tried to dodge the female's bites but she was too fast! Suddenly a dark blur knocked the female off of her and she saw the handsome dispersal fighting the female much better than she could. "Run! Take care of your wounds!" he commanded her. "But what about you?" she asked. "I'll be fine! Meet me on the ridge that you attacked me on! Now go!" Every step away from him seemed to tear through Clover worse than the female's bites. Filled with sorrow, she ran. Once when her wounds stopped bleeding and she had eaten, she returned to the ridge, only to see a few dispersal males that she had never met before flirting with a dispersal female. She turned around and ran again, gathering her thoughts. She would go to the final territory and fight there, but she would return and find the male who saved her life, even if it took her weeks! She would never give up on him, she was sure of it, for she knew clearer than day that she loved him.﻿﻿

### Aura

Gift of The Ancestors, *by kitnwolf (WolfQuest name) AKA KitncatMCD (Wiki name)*

Aura walked on, glancing nervously around every few seconds. The male she had run into only a little bit before stepped out of the shadows. "What are you doing back here?" He asked, his voice flat. "I-I-I wanted to make a friend." Aura whimpered. The male's eyes softened, "Come, I'll hunt an elk with you." He barked. Aura followed the male's lead as they hunted. After the hunt was over, the male nodded to her and vanished into the shadows. Aura looked back towards the kill and spotted a white female, her pelt was dappled with small, gray and black markings. Aura cowered backward in fear. "It's okay Aura, I won't hurt you." The female said, her voice was calming and friendly, and her eyes glittered with wisdom. "Who are you? How do you know my name?" Aura asked, slightly reassured. "I am your ancestor, Luna." The white female said. "How can I see you? I've heard you couldn't see your ancestors until you joined them?" Aura asked. "So many questions. You are very special Aura, you can see us whenever we want you to. It is rare that someone has your gift Aura, so don't throw it away." Luna said, then vanished as if she'd never been there. "I won't, I promise." Aura vowed, eating her food and carrying on her way.

**The Coyote friend,**by HowlingMoon (Wolfquest name) AKA CloudHeart100 (Wiki name)

Aura walked out from the den, her parents were hunting and her brothers and sisters were inside playing. She wanted to explore, and not just a musty, little den. She wanted to see everything. She trotted toward a big blue line what her mom called a river. Then she saw a flash of brown and white and suddenly a coyote was pinning her down." Don't hurt me!!"She whimpered.The coyote looked up a flash of amusement in his shady eyes and he let her go. She was about to run when the coyote barked, "Wait!". She stopped in her tracks and turned nervously around, making eye contact with the coyote."My name is Jackson!"The small figure yapped. "Yours"?"I'm Aura" She whispered."Cool!"He barked."Whatcha doing so far from your den?" He pointed his narrow muzzle to the tallest tree in the forest."Err. . . I wanted to explore."She barked."Well, then you should get back, no telling what your parents would do if they saw you talking to me."The coyote barked, running off. A thought snapped inside her head as she realized she had just talked with someone who might have eaten her. She bounded back to the den, trying to keep shame from flooding her. For the rest of her puppyhood, she kept her secret.

2 years later. . ..

Aura was hunting in the woods looking for a weak elk to eat when she spotted two tiny eyes watching her. She whimpered."Who goes there!?" She barked nervously. the figure stepped out revealing the slender frame of a coyote. In instinct she leaped at it, pinning it down easily. she bit hard on its neck, but before it took its last breath the male coyote whispered."Jackson". Aura froze her eyes widened in what was now grief as her blood turned to ice."Jackson!!"She howled. "I'm sorry!!!" She fell to the ground her muzzle buried in the coyote's pelt and she layed there for the rest of the night. Unknown to her a spirit was laying beside her, silently grooming her ruffled pelt.

### Aura written by Ancestor Jbird (Episode 31 - Across the Moonlit Plains)

Aura ran across the plain, the wind swaying the fur on her back. "Its so beautiful tonight," Aura muttered to herself, looking up at the dark night sky. She turned to her right and saw a fox. She crept on it slowly; her paws gripping the earth beneath. Aura pounced, and landed on her underbelly. "Missed it" Aura sighed as she got to her paws. She looked up to the moon once again and howled. Then she quietly said to the stars; "I need more confidence, Luna."

Home, *by Duskflower*

 "What do you think you're doing, scum?" the female growled at Aura. Aura whined and tucked her tail. "I-I'm so sorry." she whimpered and ran without another word. Aura didn't talk to another wolf for days as she wandered around and scavenging. She didn't want to see another wolf ever again, for she was so terrified that she would be attacked or killed. She felt an overwhelming sadness crushing her and she mostly lay and thought of the pups that had been killed by the coyotes and wondered how her brother and his mate were doing. One evening, as Aura lay listlessly, she heard the sound of a twig breaking and the scent of another wolf. She got to her paws and ran, but the wolf pursued her until Aura was so exhausted that she collapsed once more. 'This is it...' she thought. 'I'm going to die.' She braced herself for the killing blow but it never came. Instead, she heard the words "Aura! Are you okay?! I worried about you so much, where have you been?!" Aura looked up to see the face of her friend, Scarlet. "No... Oh Scarlet, I'll never be able to get a pack of my own, or even join another pack! I'm too weak and scared. But even worse, I'll never be able to break the curse and I'll be a nobody my whole life and I'll die alone." Aura moaned, her head flopping back down. Aura felt Scarlet lick her ear in an encouraging way. "Aura, even if you do never break your family's curse or lead your own pack you'll still be so very brave to me. Why don't you join my pack? I wanted to see if you'd be able to find a mate and start your own pack before I invited you, but now I think you should join. My mate and my children have heard a lot about you and they'll be delighted to see you again. "But Scarlet..." Aura said softly. "Our families are rivals. I have Forest Pack blood running through my veins and I know my scent is that of a forest pack wolf." Scarlet sighed heavily. "Yes, but you forgot something: you're also part Druid as well. We're family Aura, and I'm not going to let you be alone your whole life." Scarlet grabbed Aura's scruff and easily pulled the smaller wolf up onto her paws. Scarlet smiled and Aura returned the smile with a faint one of her own. Scarlet nudged her friend forward and began walking briskly back to the territory. "Come, we wasted enough time already. Let's go home."﻿

### Spirit

Impossible Destination, *By That One Penguin*

I take a deep breath, followed by a step. I let out the breath as I take another step and repeat over and over. I slowly move forward - always forward, never backward and never the unimaginable: still. My eyes are focused ahead as I watch the steady sway of Father's pale grey tail in front of me. I try and match my labored steps to its swinging and chase it. If I'm going somewhere then I can't stop, and Father is an unreachable place.

Father is always out of reach, ever since I was born. I understand why he hates me, but why does he hate the others? He won't listen to Glacier's jokes or Ghost's reassurances and he doesn't take notice of Tumbler's short, sweet poems. All he sees is me and my face, so much like Mother's I can't bear to see my reflection because it's just a reminder of how I killed her. No matter what Kuma and Willow say, *I'm* sick, *I'm* special and that's how we have to live.

Behind me my siblings mumble encouraging words. I'm out of breath and my exhales are deeper than my inhales. The world starts to fog out but Glacier's stubby teeth poke at my tail.

"You'll keep going even if I have to drag your scrawny body through the grass," she growls. Her words are a threat, but they carry that young anxiety she always feels. That's my fault too.

Ghost nudges me along to give me an extra push in my stiff steps. My paws are achy and they feel frozen so I can't move them. They hurt when I lift them and they send lightning bolts of pain through me when I put them down.

Tumbler walks silently at my side, on the verge of a breakdown as always. She looked the same when I found out Father wanted me dead. Right before she started sobbing, that is. I had snuck out of the den at night, spying on Father, Kuma and Willow to prove I could be just as strong as any pup. I heard them talking about me. Father wanted to leave me in the woods and let the coyotes carry me off, maybe an eagle if I were out in the open. I tried to run away, but my ankles and legs were sore and I heard the whole exchange as Willow suggested finding a cure and Kuma insisted we leave as soon as possible.

I keep walking, watching Father's tail swing. I cough but he doesn't even glance back at me. I want to stop so badly to rest my shaky legs, but I'd go on forever if it meant I didn't have to die. So I keep walking the endless journey.

## Wolves Not Chosen as Heirs or for Side-Stories

(For the slightly more obscure wolves that were not chosen as heirs or for side-stories.)

Scarlet, *Written by Hala Arizona*

Scarlet stood on the border to her territory, raising her muzzle to sniff the chilly night air. She noticed a familiar scent; not one from her pack, however. She turned around, to see Aura hiding in the bushes behind her. Aura, the beautiful, dazzling white wolf... No, Scarlet mustn't think of her that way. The other she-wolf could be a friend, and nothing more- how would Scarlet's genetics survive without a male mate to raise pups with?
Scarlet chuckled to the timid female. "Do you want to hunt again?" She asked Aura stood, revealing herself from her hiding spot. She nodded gratefully to Scarlet. "Come on, I'll teach you." The red-white wolf barked, turning and beginning to trot toward the hunting grounds. Aura hesitated for a moment, before sprinting to catch up to her. The Moon poured light onto the plains as the two disappeared into the distance. Friends... But was that all they were?

Return, *By That One Penguin*

I ,Shadow, stand at the peak of the hill, dry dirt crumbling under my cream-colored paws. Sparse clumps of grasses lie baking in the sunlight. The wispy blades brush my fur, but I take little notice, scanning the landscape before me. ﻿

It’s vaguely familiar. I remember the hard, barren ground, the tall hills and short trees and strange stone structures, many more of which I’ve seen in the past year. I remember the exhausting treks lasting for days at a time, running from something that I never knew. ﻿

And when they left me behind, they left me with all the grief and loneliness of a pup without his mother or his siblings. They left me bitter and cold and angry at them, everyone, someone who will take the blame. ﻿

I can smell a coming storm, lightning boiling in the clouds. Beyond it, distant elk and wolves, blood on their teeth as they fight for their kill, their fur heavy with the acrid scent of the black stone that lies in front of rock den forest, marking the wolves as its own. And beyond them I smell the wild - the aspens soaked in drops of a past rain, a smell that used to hang in the forest as I lounged beneath the trees at my old home. *Used* to. ﻿

That was me then. This is me now, with a frozen heart white with frost, pale as my mother’s fur, and eyes dark as the shadows of which I was named. ﻿

I throw my head back and howl; a foreboding, mournful sound that silences the world like the warning call of a bird that quiets the woods, leaving a sense of apprehension hanging from the trees. ﻿

This marks my return. ﻿

This marks the return of the Moon Pack.﻿

Nightpaw *by Second Indominus*

Nightpaw lay , bored . Most of his fur had been burned by the forest fire. His brothers Crow and Silver ? Dead. His sister Lily ? Dead. Sure , he had his older brother Moose and his mate Bay to call relations , but that wasn't the same. He had heard that his niece Meadow had somehow survived the forest fire and was now learning to survive in Lost River. He had heard of wolves saying he was a member of the Moon Pack and that he should have pups to reinforce the pack , but the Wolves who gave him advise had a habit of glowing . He unlike his prissy sister Lily , hated things like that . He was a black wolf and he was proud of it. The glowing wolves claimed to be Luna , Sol , Eclipse and Moondancer. They also said that they were his ancestors .

Then how were they alive , he thought , not thinking how they were actually legendary spirits .

He saw what he was waiting for, a bull bison.

The ugly hairy bull lay grazing the tasteless grass . He did not for the life of the sun understand what humans like so much about them. Probably because they rode in the bellies of those giant creatures that looked like monsters. They took out their light- giving things and stay there for hours. They just pass him . True he was mostly behind a bush , but whatever.

The bison just grunted at the black wolf. His father had always warned him about moose. He , at first thought he was talking about his giant son moose. But apparently it was that creature that had delicious flesh. But his father had never even seen a bison.

He pounce on the head of the bison , drawing blood. He was already thinking about the meal he could have. Just before the fire , he had been eating a bison carcass. Now it was time to have another .

The bison started rampaging , charging at trees , running aimlessly until he shook himself. Nightpaw was thrown of the back . Bison hair was covering his eyes. When he licked them off , he saw the bison charging at him . He closed his eyes and wished his niece good luck in continuing the Moon Pack . Just when his forehead was pricked by the horns of the bison , a female cougar had pulled him away . She snarled and made a sign to move behind her. The bison charged , only for the cougar to move away , letting the bison attack a boulder . The skull of the bison let out a sickening crack.

"Who are you?" Nightpaw whined ." And why did you save me?"

Behind a cougar , a pack of four dobermans came towards her . One of the dobermans barked back " It's OK, Nightpaw. You see , me and my sisers ran away from our owner. We want to be wolves. So we threatened Myra the cougar here to bring you to us. You can live only if you promise to join our pack and to give me and ny sisters your undying love. Or ," the dog took out a pelt " You could join the wolf who refused ."

"OK , but what do I call you four" Nightpaw barked , whishing that the bison had just killed him.

"You musn't know our names . Just call me "Mate" and my sisters "Sisters" " she barked ." My uncle is hunting for us. Also , only one of my pups can be Alpha."

***Yuki - A Lost Heiress***

Yuki traveled away, saying her last goodbyes to her mother, Hira, and her father, Blizzard. Her two brothers and her sister joined up beside her, excited and nervous at the same. Her sister Yara pranced around and dashed after a hare. Yara brought it back proudly. "I got a snack for us, Yuki!" She trotted up. "Thanks, Yara, should we eat now?" The oldest of the bunch, Mountain, came over and questioned whether or not they were going to share. Yara said that they could hunt their own hares, as she caught one by herself like other times. Mountain and Yara argued with themselves, while the youngest of the litter, little Hastumode, curled up in the snow, listening to his siblings fighting. Yuki soon got bored and wandered away. She paused for a minute as she realized her siblings were only brown, grey, and white specks in the distance. Her own silvery white fur glistened as snow, as she was named for, fell softly atop her back. She knew she could just wander away, and not care if she got lost in the endless waves of white snow. She looked back, one last time, catching Hatsumode's eye, and trotting off. Just disappearing in the white tundra.

Hatsumode always knew his older sister Yuki was always one for adventure. She wandered off many, many times, and even became lost once! He wasn't alarmed when Yuki trotted off in the distance, giving him that "Goodbye, I might never see you again" look, as he knew she could take care of herself. He only nodded his head and looked back at Yama and Mountain arguing.

Yuki ran like never before. She crossed open meadows of snow, little streams dotting here and there. Sometimes she felt so alone as she saw nothing but flat, open snow for miles and miles. The snow was thick, where she was born and raised, like an ocean's waves frozen midway through into snow. There was a river that cut through at her rendezvous site, which bare frosted sand and pebbles, and little frostbitten plants which the arctic hares feasted upon.

***To Be Continued.***

## Shadow

### ***The Moon's Shadow...***

**S**hadow tensed up, ready to spring. The hare sat quietly on the grasses, munching on a berry. A crow cawed, and the hare bolted through the undergrowth. Shadow grunted and slammed his paw on the dusty Amethyst floor. "*Curse that stupid crow!*" he grunted as he trotted away into the forest, where the moon's light could not reach him. He no longer looked towards the ancestors for help or guidance, or for any signs that would tell him what to do. He had grown angry at them after they killed all his family, including his mother and father later on. First, his father was killed by a bear defending him and his mother. Second, his mother was killed crossing the road just to find food for him. All these tragedies happened on a full moon...Shadow grew immense hatred for the ancestors and the whole bloodline of the Moon Pack. He rarely even looked up at the sky during the night. He slept and woke up at dawn, the beautiful morning sun of dawn, where the dew under his paw pads felt relaxing and cool. The early birds chirped, telling of a new day. A gentle breeze softly rustled the trees as he passed them, running towards the dawn sun. He would seek vengeance from the Moon Pack all his life. So what, if they abandoned him and his parents and siblings when they left? He would forge a new generation, a new pack, a new beginning...He skidded to a halt at the edge of an overlook in perfect view of the sun. He howled, his confident and overpowering howl filling the mountain. This marks the start. *This marks the start of the Dawn Sun Pack.*

## Blizzard

### ***Blizzard's Journey..***

Blizzard looked around. Where was he? Pine trees dotted the area, whilst ravens pecked at his tail on the sandy hot ground. Rocks blocked some of his views, but he could see a huge slope leading down into a valley towards a river. He got up and yelped. He looked down at his body in immense pain. His leg was broken, and he cried out for his mom and dad. When no answer came, he looked around. He realized he didn't recognize anything. He whimpered from the pain and passed out.

His eyes fluttered open weakly. The cold hit him hard. He tried to curl up but winced as he remembered his leg. It was swollen and didn't look too good. licking some dew from a bush he slept again. He was awoken briefly after hearing voices. *Am I imagining them..?.* He asked himself, as a white figure bent over him. He pretended to still be asleep, as he was scared of what these strange wolves might do. One of the wolves brushed him with their tail. "Poor pup. It's in bad shape and looks only to be a summer pup..-" "Wait, Machi. smell that. It's a rival pack's pup...A Stormy Skies one.." The dark grey figure snarled. "Clover, calm down. The pup hasn't done anything to us, right?" The dark figure grunted and backed away. "Yeah I guess your right..Just get the pup and let's go.." He felt himself being picked up and got a better whiff of their scent. *Junction Butte!* These wolves were mortal enemies. But he let himself be taken.

He woke up after what seemed like forever. Junction Butte's scent stank in his nose, almost making him cough. He looked around. dozens of wolves surrounded the area, and he could see plenty of pups near a tree. He got up, his leg feeling better, and was about to leave for a while when the dark grey wolf Clover stopped him. He whimpered. "Where do you think you're going?" Her sparkling green eyes stared him down. "Um..Um.."(To be continued, hopefully)

## Marigold lll (Parsley's Daughter)

### A Cursed Name

by Skyglow19

It was a bright day today, and it was good, until Parsley send Marigold and her siblings in the den. Soon she heard the sounds of fighting. "Marigold, Truth or Dare?" Hawk squeaked. Hawk was the size of practically a hare! At this rate, they would be 25 lbs before he was 15lbs!

"Dare! I'm not some wimp!' She exclaimed. Marigold boldly looked at her brother. "Uh.. Exit the den!!" Hawk barked. She sauntered out the Den.

"MARIGOLD THE THIRD. GET IN THE DEN!!" Parsley screamed. Marigold lll trudged in den.

"Happy?" She snarled.

"Yup." Hawk laughed.

## Horizon

### A Journey Ahead

By Skyglow19

Today was like no other. I was running, trying to escape, but I couldn't hide. Fire raged. But perhaps I should start from the beginning. I went into a forest with my Parents, and Siblings. Suddenly, a storm came and struck a perfect circle of trees with lightning. Fire started to rage, and I soon saw my Aunt– Lily and her mate, Everest– and my uncle –Crow and his Travel Partner/Mate, Rupee– in the forest fire.

"RUN!" Crow howled. There was howls, yelps, snarls, growls, roars, barks, and raging flames. Soon it was just me and Meadow, my younger sister. Meadow ran out of the spreading flames, escaping the Forest. It was just me. "Meadow! Come back!!" I howled. But no matter how loud I yelled, she wouldn't come back. Soon, fire engulfed me. It burned me, and I soon collapsed.

Everything was pitch black. Then, it was blinding white. I saw everyone, Silver, Marigold l, Crow, Rupee, Lily and Everest. I saw the great Luna and Sol. "Welcome." Luna said. Her cold blue eyes stared deep into my soul. I suddenly realized something. If the ancestors can control the weather.. Why didn't they stop it? I glared at Luna. My eyes met hers. I was furious. How could they let us die? And let Meadow slip away from the fire, and leave me to die?

'How could you let us die?" I snarled. Luna seemed unfazed by me. Sol seemed like he was going to rip out my fur for disrespecting his mate. Eclipse and Twilight stood to her left, growling at me. I snapped at them. "I don't have control of fires. Perhaps speak to the Stormy Skies Pack?" She said. I wanted to rip out her fur right then and there. Instead, I padded towards the Stormy Skies Pack Ancestral Territory.

"What brings you here, young one?" Atlas barked. I wanted to rip out his fur. "How can you let us die?" I snarled. Atlas responded calmly, "Its even out of our control." Ever since that day, I've been on a journey ahead to get my revenge on Meadow.

## Thorn

### A Prickly Thorn

By Skyglow19

It was a Stormy day, and I felt strange. I started vomiting. Soon, My mother– Parsley– and my father –Azor– arrived home.

"Thorn? Are you ok?" Basil whimpered.

"Thorn? Huh? Oh! Uh, Yeah..." I whispered.

"Thorn, Basil, Hawk, Owlet, Mari- Marigold lll, FEAST UPON THIS MOOSE CALF!" Parsley howled. I didn't feel so well, but I tried to eat a bit. I felt prickly, and I was Thorn. I was at the hands of death.

## Bristle

### A Bristle Listens(Very Short)

By Skyglow19

Bristle squeaked, "Come on *Dove* and... And... Dove!" They had lost their Father and their Mother. She listened once. That day, they lost their father.

## Plum

### Plum of the Pick

By Skyglow19

Plum raced the clock, time ticking down. It was a race and she was about to lose. But she wasn't going to lose. And she was going to win, not lose. It was tough though. But she progressed to fight through it. Plum was racing against a moose trying to grab it and use it for food. She was able to take down her final kill of the day.

She collapsed and rested the day. She was way too exhausted to even think of hunting again. She hadn't thought of any illnesses that the moose could have had because moose are usually herbivorous but she never thought of anything else being too dangerous. But, the prey that her brother has eaten and fallen ill to could have been a moose, a carnivorous moose.

Now, that sounds silly, doesn't it? Moose are herbivores. Not carnivores. But– It's possible. Plum awoke the next morning, to start hunting. She wandered towards a herd and latched on to a weak Cow Elk. The Cow Elk tried to fight back, but in the end, it lost its life. Plum ate what she could, and then tore off a meat chunk to carry around in case she got hungry. She decided to stop at a tree for some rest for a bit. Plum woke up and heard sounds around her, and NOT birds chirping.

“Who’s there?” She growled. Suddenly, a pure white male wolf with some sort of collar appeared through the bushes.

“Sorry. I am Flake. I am from the Prospect Peak Pack. Who are you?” The white wolf asked.

“I am–” Plum said before a dark brown wolf stepped out of the bushes behind Flake.

“Hey! Flake! Oh! Sorry, I’m Brownie,” The male said, “I’m from the Prospect Peak Pack too! I’m Flake's younger brother. Plum sighed and looked at Flake. Flake looked disappointed in his younger brother.

“I am Plum.” She said, a loving look in her eyes. Suddenly a group of Pahaska Males burst into the sagebrush and started to chase Flake and Brownie away! Plum scurried after them. She started to growl at the Pahaska males. They scuttled off. Plum looked at Flake and asked if he was okay.

“Yes, I am fine.” Flake barked. Plum started to get to know Flake a bit more and learned that he was a Quiet wolf that gets jealous easily. She also learned that Flake is very trustworthy. Although he was selfless and rarely angry, he was VERY sensitive and extremely over-sensitive.

Plum decided that she wanted to be mates with Flake. They became very loving mates and had a litter of 7 pups. They lived in a tree den called the “Root” Den. Plum loved Flake and Flake loved Plum.

Their first pup, Tawny, a tan-ish she-pup was a bold, loner/introverted, and energetic pup. She is the runt. Tawny is trusting, selfless, rebellious if something is just unbearable, happy-go-lucky, and calm. Their second pup, Night, was a black she-pup who was bold, social, lazy, nasty, confident, fearless, peace-maker, naive, and adventurous.

Their 3rd pup, Silver, a gray she-pup who was Bold, Loner, Lazy, Resentful, faithful, nervous, stable, grumpy, calm, and enraged. Their 4th pup, Rose, a red she-pup with a white underside is bold, social, lazy, gentle, faithful, very rebellious, supportive, clever, happy-go-lucky, and worn-out.

Their 5th pup, Demi, a brown she-pup with light brown patches is cautious, social, lazy, unfriendly, malicious, thoughtless, mature, and adventurous. Their 6th pup, Parsley ll– named after her (insert how many greats) Grandmother, a black pup with white patches (Identical to what Parsley Looks Like as an adult) and was bold, social, lazy, gullible, charismatic, secretive, stingy, and thoughtless.

Their 7th– and final pup, – Spitfire, a brown-gray male pup who is bold, social, energetic, distrusting, charismatic, popular, happy, and dark. Spitfire is an extremely smart puppy and knows too much for his good.

One day, a group of Female dispersal wolves– called the Canyon Pack– invaded their territory. But it turns out, a group of Male Hayden Dispersal Wolves was chasing the Canyon Pack. It was quite strange.

"I want to join the Canyon Pack when I'm older!" Tawny arfed.

'I might join the Prospect Peak Pack.." Night barked quietly.

"You are all insane!" Silver cried.

"Now I might join Prospect Peak with you!" Rose doubted.

Demi erupted, "I'm gonna join.. None!"

Parsley ll Fetched a dead butterfly, and Barked, "I'm gonna join the Pahaska Pack!"

"I am going nowhere!" Spitfire growled.

Flake chuckled, "Oh pups…" Plum started to groom his fur when suddenly, the group of Male Hayden wolves ambushed out of nowhere and injured Parsley ll, giving her a broken leg.

Plum started to relax, and rested her day away. The next morning, She and Flake went patrolling and chased out a group of 8 Mile Females and a group of submissive female Eclipse Dispersals. Flake and Plum also chased out a group of HIGHLY aggressive Hayden Male Dispersals.

“Flake… We need to talk about Parsley ll.” Plum howled.

“What do you mean?” Flake barked as he said his iconic line.

“Her leg…” She jerked her head.

Flake killed a hare quickly, “Oh.”

“It might stay broken.. And become deformed..” Plum layed down. Flake sat next to her.

“It wont, I promise.” He muttered.

“Okay.” She mumbled back.

Plum and Flake strolled back to the den. Tawny and Night sauntered out of the den, gossiping. Silver and Rose tusseled as they ambled out of the den. Demi and Parsley slowly trudged out of the den. Spitfire plodded out of the den last.

Flake hiked behind the den. Plum tramped over a flower and trekked into the den. Her story had just begun.
