Arasus
Short Story:
Chapter 1

Reliving the cherished memories of my childhood, I realized that I never really had a good relationship with my mother. It always seemed like she never had time for me. I never noticed at the time, I loved her with everything I had. It was just the type of personality I’d been pinned with.

I never truly hated anyone until my mother was pregnant with my baby sister, Karina. Mother was going into labor, and I was on pins and needles outside her den. I was pacing rapidly, trying everything to keep my mind off what could go wrong. I was told by the healer, Ignio that she may not make it due to complications...and at that moment, I hated that little puppy with everything I had inside of me.

As the hours passed, I stayed put. I was determined to stay as close to my mother as Ignio, the healer, would let me. The first hour was the longest, it seemed. Ignio passed me once or twice as he went in and out of the cave helping my mother and checking on my sister’s whereabouts. The next two or three weren't as dreadful, though it seemed more and more likely that she would make it.. Out of no where, a faint whining noise met my ears. I soon realized it was my new, discontented, baby sister.

Finally, near sunset my- rather surly -father exited the reddish cave and trotted toward me. “Arasus, how would you like to meet your little sister?” He asked me, letting out a huff as he sat down next to me in the red dirt. Personally, I didn’t want to meet the new ball of Kronador prey. "I...” I let out a sigh of defeat. “I would love to meet her.” Standing, I waltzed into the birthing den. My nostrils filled of the smell of newly-placed flowers and I was greeted with the sound of yipping. Look, the rat already made annoying noises. My head hung in annoyance, I headed toward my mother.

I continue into the den, hate writhing in my mind. I grind my teeth to avoid yelling at the innocent puppy. I sit down next to my mother and lick her forehead. She ignored my lick, though I took no mind. I smiled at her before sending a glare at the puppy. But when I saw her for the first time, all the hate in my mind was pushed away. She was so...tiny, so beautiful...and everything inside of me shifted. I realized that it was never truly the puppy’s fault that my mother could’ve died..It’s just the process of birth. All the hate cleared out and now there was only love for this small creature. I lied down and gingerly sniffed her, taking in her scent..remembering her. It was exhilarating. I would always remember her scent now, even though it was tainted slightly with blood and milk. I let out a sigh, contented with the miracle of life. I sat there for such a long while that Ignio had to rouse me and nudge me in the direction of the exit. Once again being greeted with the woody scent of the outdoors, I shook my fur and relished the breeze that whispered through it. At that moment, I knew I had to protect her.


Chapter 2

I have so many fond, loving memories of my little sister Karina. Granted, there should've been more memories. She should’ve been here long enough to have pups of her own, to have a life of her own. But...good things always end up ending quicker than the bad.

Vividly, I remember the assault. Her lone cry, it’s growls. But, that is all beside the point. She was the happiest warrior I have ever met, even if I haven’t met all that many. My fondest memory is one of the two of us swimming in a small pool of crystal-clear waters. It was a warm afternoon in spring, and mother had given me special permission to go out and attempt to teach Kari some hunting moves on the smaller prey. The blue grass waved in the wind, and her joyous yips and yaps were a welcoming sound to my ears.

“Kari, careful. You’re going to slip on the rocks!” I warned, trying to my voice sound playful but stern. “Me? Slip and fall? I think not!” She cried, standing taller on the reddish boulder she stood upon. Her head held high, I watched her sniff the air and open her eyes. “Aras? What is that smell?” For a moment, my eyes widened and I sniffed the air urgently. Looking around the still forest, I scanned for anything out of the ordinary. “What is what, Kari? I don’t smell anything. Get down from there and over by me now! You still haven’t answered me!” Panic set in, and I felt my brown fur raise on cue as I sped around to look at her. She wasn’t there.

As the dreadful feeling in my stomach sank to new depths, something jumped onto my back and I let out a growl, turning around and snapping at the attacker. It was Kari! My heart jumped. Kari was quicker than me, and in a flash she was off my back and on the shore, her tail wagging quicker than the wind. My feeling of dread quickly faded away and I let out a small howl of amusement. My tail began to wag and I launched myself at her, wrestling on the shore before jumping back, my heart pumping. In another moment, I fell solemn quickly “NEVER scare me like that again..I thought you were Kronador prey!” I said sternly, nuzzling her neck as lovingly as I could. I know this doesn’t really seem significant, but to me.. She was my responsibility and my best friend, so I had to make sure she was alright.

Chapter 3

When she died, I died too. Everything in my life fell apart. The stitches came undone, the heavens fell to Isket...Just think of it as whatever you hold most dear to you was ripped away. She died suddenly, which I can only assume is the positive thing that came out of all of this.

Walking back to camp slowly, I remember every pebble, every flower, everything so crystal clearly. She was by my side, panting lightly and leaving small paw prints in the soft red sand. Looking down at her, I wagged my tail slightly. “Do you need a drink?” I questioned, tilting my head as I gazed down at her. She nodded yes, and I pointed my nose in the direction of a small pond. She trotted off nimbly, and I headed toward a clump of blue bushes to take care of my business.

Only our ancestors would have guessed what would happen next. All she did was get a drink of water, I was only gone for a minute! The earsplitting cry of pain rang out, and I ran towards it. There stood a small, adolescent Kronador with my sister dangling in it’s mouth. It had a dark, red shade to it, and it's face was scrunched up; almost as if it had just hit a tree. It was vile and disgusting, and clearly it was a kill-on-sight feeling that flowed through me next.

Fear froze me (before the hate could), it made it’s way icily through my veins and stopped whatever I was planning to do next... I had no idea what to do, the fear spiked through my brain. My cry stopped in my throat. She was already gone, it was clear because she hung there limply, her tail drooped. All hope left me. The next thing I did was very ridiculous and rash, but I ran into the creature and bowled it over. Kari went flying, and I apologized mentally. I had a vicious fight with this Kronador. It had been lunging and dodging my blows. I was an inexperienced warrior, still an apprentice. It was hard to gain leverage on the Kronador because it was so much taller than I. I’d gotten a few blows in, mostly around the feet. It wasn’t really doing much. I was losing badly and bleeding in many places. The Kronador, unlike myself, had bitten me and bruised me up practically everywhere. I found a moment of peace to think of my next move. I gasped and began to slide to the ground. My brain started to shut down, and in the fuzz of the blackness I saw an image. I saw Kari. She said “Ara..You can do it, save yourself...I have to go now, I love you..” And with one last look at love on her face, she faded away. I had to do it..I had to win for my sister. Her death would not remain unpenalized. I had a sudden burst of energy and tore the Kronador’s grip away.It was fazed as I jumped in off ways, as my mentor had instructed me to, trying to vex it. After confusing it, I went in for the death blow.. I used everything I had, ripping and tearing at its throat. The Kronador roared in pain, trying to get after me when I went for Kari. It tripped over itself and faceplanted in the dust. It was slow getting up and gave enough time for me to run to Kari and scoop her up.I held her tightly by her scruff, carrying her to my parents..to Isket..to somewhere safe. The Kronador was still regrouping. It roared at me as I ran, giving chase, but not brave enough to follow me back into Warrior territory. As soon as I came in sight of my father, I collapsed. She fell beside me and together we faded into blackness.

[Koiley]

Awesome, Lilian! I'm excited though I'm not entering..Vou and I are rooting for Morry! :D <3

[rem sleep]

I might just have to enter~

[Kaylawolf]

Oh my gosh, this male is beautiful! I am so trying out for him! <3

[Kaylawolf]

Name:
His name is Alkazar.

How his name came to be:
When I first saw this teen and I was thinking about what I would name him then Alkazar just came out of my mouth. I sat there thinking about where that had come from, I then looked at what was on my screen and saw this WoI. At that point I knew that Alkazar would be his name.

Why I want him:
His eyes. Oh how I adore his brilliant eyes. His deep blue eyes attracted me almost instantly. I have always loved dark eyes and on this Warrior, they look amazing. His design reminds me so much like the first WoI that I had tried out for which was Dax and Amanra's litter and I tried for the female pup who is now named Wen. Seeing Alkazar reminded on how much I wanted her, and now how much I want, or need, him. When I first saw this WoI on one of Lillian's live streams, I just fell in love with his handsome design and I knew that I would try my hardest for this male.

Alkazar's design is one of the most original designs that I have seen in a while and I knew from just looking at him, that there was going to be a lot of tough competition. His deep brown is complicated extremely well with the gold. The beige and white also look extremely well together. Of course the blue markings give him a distinguished Isket look, since many warriors have markings similar to that.

When it is time to judge this WoI, I don't think I will ever be so nervous to see who will win this WoI. This is my sixth time and I hope the sixth time's the charm, because I have no idea if I would connect with a Warrior of Isket like I have connected with him.

Alkazar's Personality:
Loyal. Modest. Shy. Determined.

After seeing you parents die from the claws of a Kronador, you will be given the choice whether to avenge their death or live your life in fear of them coming for you. With this memory Alkazar is more than determined to avenge his parents' death and also give fear to Kronadors when they hear his name. Of course, this does not happen over night but over months and even year if it takes that long to fully understand the skill of killing a Kronador or even attempt at it. Keeping quiet is one of these skills which he has accepted and, even as a teen, has almost mastered it. Knowing this, he is shy around others so he can watch their intentions, if they will hurt him or not. But once he warms up to you, Alkazar will become more modest and get involved in regular conversations. He may be one of the loyalist warriors in the pack because he vowed his life for this pack since his birth pack, the North Pack, had died of starvation and Kronadors he had found this pack and wanted to be loyal to them like his parents were loyal to the North Pack.

Short Story:

When I Found Myself [Third Person Point of Veiw]
It has been one month since the Kronador took over the North Pack's territory, most of the pack was killed. The only ones spared were Halibell and Sorren, who were Lord Gorenheim and Xestra's offspring, and me. I don't know if the other two had survived, but being the offspring of the Chiefs I don't see why they wouldn't have. Alkazar thought about the past day in aghast. He is still in shock and sometimes thinks that when he runs around that bend of trees her parents will be there, but they are not and never will be again.

His parents had told him to leave, but he didn't. Now that he had seen his parents die in the jaws of the Kronador, his life would never be as it would be if he would of left. It hung in his mind for a long time that he was the cause of his parent's death, which soon drove him into depression. With Kronadors all around him, no matter how depressed he was, Alkazar still had to keep going.

Weeks had gone by and he was still in the North's territory, which was not smart since was now invaded my chimeras. His stomach got the best of him and he was off fallowing a trail of a rabbit crossbreed. Soon, Alkazar caught sight of the animal and charged. His paws hit the ground and the male ran with enormous strides towards his prey; as he got closer, Alkazar's strides became quieter and more swift. Then a large dark green blur swerved in Alkazar's way, grabbing the rabbit by it's claws. It startled Alkazar greatly and he locked his gaze onto the creature's neon green ones. He was face-to-face with a Kronador.

Alkazar could tell that this Kronador was: young because he had smaller horns and was not as large as the others he had seen earlier, diffident because his gaze wavered with confident and fear, it's fangs were not so large nor his horns, claws, or hooves. Though his gaze was not solid, Alkazar's was. He was enraged to see the creature that killed his parents and his pack!

A low snarl escaped from the muzzle of Alkazar, his eyes locked on the Kronador's. Their fangs were shown and Alkazar dug his claws into the ground, anticipating on what was yet to come. When he started his training a while ago, Alkazar remembered to take a strong stance and show no fear. He looked over the Kronador, trying to find it's weak spots or blind spots. Then, Alkazar lunged for the Kronador's neck, gripping his fangs on the base of his skull. The Kronador let out a howl of pain and shook his head violently. Alkazar jumped off of the Kronador's neck and growled.

The young male hissed at the warrior and charged forward. He used his horn and just nicked Alkazar on his shoulder, which caused Alkazar to growl in ferry then jump on to the Kronador's back and sunk his fangs into the wound he had made before, but this time his fangs went deeper. Alkazar snarled and shook his head vigorously, tearing the strong skin of the young Kronador. This made the chimera howl in agony, then he turned his head and grabbed Alkazar's paw and tore him off of himself.

Alkazar landed on his side, but quickly regain his balance. He cursed when he had got on his paws, one of them was damaged badly. The Kronador knew that he would likely be killed if he didn't leave now, because he had a large wound in the back of his neck and Alkazar has only a badly damaged paw. So, the young Kronador turned tail and fled into the forest. Alkazar vigorously looked around to see if any other Kronador had heard them fighting; by the looks of it, no one did but the young Kronador will tell all of them in a matter of minutes so Alkazar had to flea, and fast. Alkazar headed south because he knew if he ran far enough, he would find the South Pack. And so he started on his painful trek.

I Have Enemies [First Person Point of View]
I've been here for about a week, four of those days I did not speak with anyone. I would let give them a quick answer or a nod of my head if they were of high ranks or who sincerely wanted to help. Which meant that I would barely talk to the ones my age, a little older, or younger.

What does Isket look like?:
The land of Isket is more night than day and is has beautiful reddish mountains, surrounded by luscious blue-green grass. Around the white rivers are plants that are the colors of green plants.

What are the WoI's breeding requirements?:
The WoI breeding requirements are as fallowed, Alfas will override everything but a male's trait is dominant over a female's. For example if a custom male would want to breed with a normal female they could, but if a normal male would want to breed with a custom female they could not, because the normal trait in the male would override the custom trait in the female. Also if you would want to breed your WoIs, you would have to ask for the Board's permission.

Alright scratch that on what I had wrote above.

Since there was an update on the breeding rules I had to update this. Custom WoIs can have at max 4 pups, while Ur-Litter WoIs can have at max 3 pup. Pound pups, like this Alkazar, can have at max 2-3 pups, though Litter pups can have at max 1-2 pups. But, the newer generation/really young WoIs can have 1 pup. Also, there is no inbreeding.

Who are the UR WoI's?
The UR Warriors of Isket are Merdelius and Laurona. Merdelius was the first WoI and he was killed by the largest Kronador that hides deep in the Kronador territory. Laurona was the mate of Merdelius and they had five pups, Rayo (The Chief), Darzek (a.k.a. Dax, a Subordinate Leader), Tira, Foalan, and Max (All three are Warriors.) Laurona then died of illness.

Sorry about the stories, they may not be the most interesting because I had to do a language arts story and that kind of took all my creativity. ^^'

[jzprincess]

One quick question, is there a design under the neck or does it contiune on with the light brown lines?

[Alaska.]

Lillian, you are a freaking genious <33

Name: Enzo

Why I Love Him:
Well, to be honest, I was looking at the teenie page to get to the WOI page, but then I saw him. My stomach tightened and my heart raced. I know I've fallen in love with other Warriors of Isket, but none of them made me feel like this. I was stunned by his beautiful, simple markings, yes, but what really got me was his face, the serene look in his eyes and the sense that behind the shy wolf, there was a strong one. A wolf that could conquer anything he put his mind to. Enzo.

Short Story:
(just note I'm using the parents' names :3 Saphrina (Saa f ree na) and Ratheus (Ray thee us))


The early days
Saphrina staggered into the whelping den, her paws sore from carrying such a heavy load of pups. Ratheus came in quietly after, nudging her gently from behind to make sure she kept moving. Saphrina barely had time to lay dawn before the contractions came. Countless hours later, I came into the world along with one brother and one sister. Since I was the runt, I always found it hard to find a spot on mom; I'd always gotten angry at my brother and sister for getting there first and pushing me away. In those moments of pure puppy fury I'd let out a minuscule squeak that, at the time, I thought was most terrifying. My mother, kind and gentle as she was, would move my siblings around to make room for me. We were only a few weeks old when we gained sight. We all played and jumped around and used Saphrina as a playground. When we got to rough, Ratheus would step in and tell us that our mother needs to rest and that she was tired. Then, when he say the fear of being yelled at he'd chuckle let us play some more. The first few weeks with my parents in the den started out fun and exciting then soon the excitment faded and we all wanted more, to know more about the outside world. We wanted out.

--

Training
Today is the day I thought as I readied for training. I went over to the wooden armor that I had. It was beautiful armor, I looked over at my sibling's armor and thought that mine was really stunning. I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. I took a walk to calm myself. It wouldn't be good if when I met Rayo I portrayed myself as a foolish, jittery pup. My parents helped me get ready, putting on my back and chest plated and tightening the leather straps. Once we all have our armor on we ready ourselves to meet Rayo and all of the alphas.

--

We head on our way into the vast unknown; or so it felt for me, having never left the dark cave in which I'd lived in my whole life so far. Of course my parents escorted us to the center of the cliffs for there were many passageways of which I and my siblings were unfamiliar to. When we reached the vast entrance to the Alpha's cave my parents bid us farewell and I didn't turn to face the alphas until I saw my parent's tails swish around the corner. Then, I turned to head into the cave and found myself scooting to a halt right on top of Rayo. I shuffled awkwardly backwards and came to a halt on my behind. "I-I'm so sorry, sir" I said nervously. So much for not being a foolish, jittery pup. I thought. At first Rayo gave me a somewhat confused/ serious look and seemed to be sizing me up. Then he chuckled and said "C'mon, we have some work to do." and turned abruptly on his heels. We walk into the cave to meet our mentors and the training begins with a rough couple hours.

--

The Breaking point
Right before the end of our training and all of our first birthdays, I and my siblings have improved greatly. My parents thought it was time to go on a hunting excabition. Of course we went to the safest part of the region, away from any and all threat of a Kronador attack, still we wore our bulky wooden armor. I spotted a little rabbit-mix a little ways off and automatically dropped into a well-practiced hunter's crouch. I stalked the thing for a good long time before it spotted me as the wind changed, I cursed myself for having not gone in to kill the rabbit quicker. I was so hoping to show my parents and siblings what I could do, to show them up even; although I know that'd be wrong. The rabbit bounded through the woods rather quickly and I chased it down like there was no tomorrow. I could hear my mother's warning about getting to far in the distance and I take no notice of it. I also don't take any notice of the large hoof print in the dirt in front of me. The rabbit scampers away and I skid to a halt, panting. What fun I was having, until I look up into the bloodthirsty, cold eyes of the Kronador.

I book it. I can't tell if the ghastly beast is chasing me, but I don't want to risk looking. I run straight down the path that I came by chasing the rabbit. Straight back to my family. I realize the flaw in my escape plan much too late. I leap out of the bushes and land in the clearing at which my family was resting. My parents had their armor on and they leap to their paws at the sight of the three Kronadors that had been chasing me down. I slowed to tell them to go, to run away and save themselves, but it was a fatal error. The leading Kronador jumped and landed on top of me. It attacked me and I honestly felt like I was going to die. Then suddenly the weight of the Kronador was lifted off of me and I took a deep breath, glad I was in control of my lungs again. I get up and stumble backwards at the sight before me. My family, my poor family, was fighting for their lives. My family were outmatched by pure brute force versus two pups and two tired warriors. I could only watch as my family torn apart.

Blood gushed from a deep wound on my shoulder and poured from a scratch on the crown of my head obscuring my view. But I could see enough to catch the look my father gave me as he died. He gave me a look that summed up everything. He told me in that look that he was proud of me, he told me to keep going and to never give up hope. I never will! I wanted to tell him. Then, he was launched into the air, flipped, and came crashing down with a sickening thud. And that was that, he was gone. So quickly I thought, So quickly the life had been drained out of him. "NO!" I cried. "FATHER NO!" I wept, and blood filled tears fell to the ground at my paws. My mother heard my cry and looked over at me and the Kronador that had killed my father. As if killing one Warrior wasn't enough for it, it went for me. My mother screamed "ENZO! NO! RUN!" I only just had time to scramble away before the best lunged for me. My mother leaped in front of it and just before she died said to me "Enzo, I love you." How could this all be happening? My family was gone. All gone. My brother and sister had run, I'm sure of it. They were nowhere to be found and I could smell a trail of them, but it was stale, very stale. I run painfully back to the entrance of the cave where the alphas lived and screeched a cry for help before collapsing to the ground.

--

Deal with it
I am in the air, high above the clearing at which my parents had been killed. I was in a strikingly beautiful forrest with lush blue grass and a beautiful white river off to the left. There was something inciting and really different about the forrest, it didn't seem to be apart of any part of Isket I'd ever seen. I seemed to be a butterbird. I could see four figures below me and I flew down to investigate. What I saw shocked me: it was my family. I wanted to embrace them, to tell them I was doing okay, and to ask them how they were. Actually how was I doing? As far as I knew, I was a butterbird. I fluttered farther down and landed in front of them and as soon as my little butterbird feet touched the soft blue grass, I was me again, I was Enzo.

I looked at my family, they were healthy and strong, unlike the night I'd left them. We talked a bit and they told me they were happy, then a silence came and for a long while we just stood. Finally to break the silence my mother said to me "Honey, we love you but we must go now. We'll see you again when the time comes." And with that she leaned forward, licked my forehead and disappeared. "No, wait! Please! COME BACK!" I yelled into the dark woods. The moon's light poured into the small clearing where I stood. I looked up and the woods started changing into something cold and uninviting, suddenly I heard a deep, thick, raspy voice behind me. I whipped around and saw large green eyes staring me down. It was the same beast that killed my family. I could tell. I started to run but my feet wouldn't budge, as the Kronador advanced panic rose in my chest and seemed to fill my lungs with fear. I finally broke free of the invisible force that trapped my paws and I ran. I could sees butter bird up ahead and I pushed faster to reach it. Somehow I knew it would be my key to survival. I reached the butterbird and I, without telling myself to, grabbed it's tail right as the Kronador grabbed my tail.

--

I wake with a start. I look around the brightly lit cave I'm staying in. I look down at my paws and see that I'm in a luxurious bed of soft moss and lichens, but I also see that my paws are shaking. I look up and see Inigo standing a few feet away doing something I couldn't see. And without turning around he said "Rayo has a message for you." He paused, maybe waiting for a response, but since he never got one he went on "He says that when you are well enough that you should meet up with him so you can prepare to get your armor." My heart leapt out of my chest. I'm going to get my armor? YES! Wait that must mean.. I thought. "How long has it been since-" My voice broke, I just couldn't get the words out, it was still too painful. Still, Inigo got my message and answered "It's been a week and you are know a year and two days old." He turned to face me and gave me a warm smile. I smiled back and said "Would it be okay if I went to take a walk?". "Sure, just don't go too far." He replied turning back around to do whatever he was doing. I left the bright den and stepped into caves that were outside. Once I found the way out I stepped outside, into the night world.

--

Wait!
I walk through the plain of deep blue grass and relish the wonderful feel it had on my paws, and the breeze! Oh the breeze was wonderful. It was the perfect night. I look ahead and see a butterbird in the distance. It seems hauntingly familiar and a shiver runs down my back as I draw closer to it. It is fluttering in the air it seemed to be beckoning me, drawing me closer. When I reached it, it sped off so quickly I jumped beach with surprise, but I followed it. It brought me to the the river that I knew would lead off to the Great Calamari waterfall. I couldn't cross it, I'm sure the butter bird knew that, but it kept flying over to the other side. Thats when I saw her. She was the most beautiful wolf I'd ever seen, her beautiful grey/black fur caught the light perfectly and she looked like she was glowing. She looked my way and I almost fell in the river. She giggled at my slip up and I got all hot and nervous. "I-I-I'm uh, I'm Enzo." I said like an idiot. She smiled and was going to say her name when her mentor yelled "C'mon! We have work to do." And she scurried off. "Wait!" I said "What's your name?" But she was too far gone to her me. I stood, heartbroken as I looked down at the flowing white river below me.

--

The next few weeks that follow are some of the hardest that I've ever had. I went on the legendary journey to the hidden cave the held all of the armor and that had drained so much energy out of me. I went on the journey to get my armor with Rayo, Soraya and a few other Warriors. By the time I get back, I'm so tired I just fall asleep in my den.

When I wake up in the morning and really take a liking in my armor. My helmet looks like the (deer crossbreed stated on the WOI page)'s antlers, my chest, back, and shoulder plates looked like the blunt wind rushing throughout the forests and over the plains of Isket, and my tail had been transformed into a lethal scorpion. I took pride in my armor. I really felt like a Warrior now, and I now wanted to avenge my family's death. I wanted to get the kronador that killed my family. I shook my head to rid myself of these thoughts, I just couldn't think of my parents and my siblings just yet. Besides, I had to get to a Warrior meeting.

--

I wasn't just going to meet other warriors and discuss war tactics. No. I was here to really meet the fae I loved more than anything in the world. I still didn't know her name and I planned on finding out, and possibly make a lasting impression. Or completely screw up. Like I always do. I hate being so shy, but I just can't help it.

When all of the warriors had gathered they begun a discussion about different war tactics and where the greatest threat of Kronadors lay. The discussion went on for an hour or so and when all was decided, we all broke off and some of us started friendly chatter, others just went off. I went over to the she-wolf I loved and tried to talk to her but she didn't see me and turned. I decided it wouldn't work between us anyway and turned to leave when she stopped me with a flick of her tail. I turned and looked into her bright, beautiful eyes and she said "I think I love you."

I love you
I wake up on a particularly early day to find my beautiful mate still sleeping. Today is my birthday, and I decided to do something fun. I gather some berries and hunt a few rabbits and make us a picnic. We eat it up on a high cliff where we know we won't be disturbed. We just sit down, talk and have a nice time. The sun starts to sink below the horizon and we start on our way back to our den. A bright butterbird shows up and lights our way back to the cave that we called home and settle in for the night.

I bark playfully as my three pups attack me. We roll around while my beloved wife watches with a soft look in her eyes. Weboth agree we couldn't be happier and could never think of a different life. And we could never think of a life without each other. We would live our live over ten thousand times if we could, and not change one thing.

What does he sound like?:
He sounds like the singer Goyte (listen to this if you don't know)

What does Isket look like?:
There are beautiful white rivers and water falls, and bold red mountains. There is also strikingly beautiful blue grass and the world is mostly night.

What are the WoI's breeding requirements?:
Well in my own words, Alphas can mate with any Warrior they choose. Custom ({c}) males can mate with any female they choose and Custom females can't mate with uncustom males. Custom males and custom females can mate.
(I just saw the update)
So now, Custom wolves (with the {c}) can have a maximum of four pups. Ur-litter wolves can have maximum 3 pups. Pups that were from a pound can have a maximum of two to three pups. Finally, newer generation pups can have a maximum of one pup.

Who are the UR WoI's?
Mardelius and Laurona

Name: Klu, pronounced (CLUE)

Short Story:
"There ya go!" I exclaimed as I helped one of the newer pups take his first steps. I was put in charge of him and his slighly older sister while their mother was on a hunting trip with some of the other warriors. His sister was currently asleep...on my tail! If I moved my tail, I always felt as if I might wake her, so I just let her be. I was just sitting there, enjoying the unusual and brief sunshine, when I literally smelled trouble approaching: Ahkon and his gang. They never get in serious trouble, but they sure do give me a hard time.

"Look what we have here: Klu, the babysitter!" barked Ahkon, followed by howls of laughter from his obnoxious group. I just rolled my eyes - this was getting old.

"What do you want, Ahkon?" I asked him tiredly while making sure the pup didn't go too far.

"What do I want?" He snarled as he tackled me with his front paws."What I want is for you to leave - go somewhere far, far away, and never come back!"

He had me quite taken by surprise - he had never actually gotten this violent! Sure, he said some stuff, but it never got this seroius.As I was about to come back with a smart comment, I noticed that the pups were heading for Ahkon-they bit his tail!

His yelp of surprise and pain allowed me just enough time to break out from underneath him and scramble a safe distance away.

Ahkon's gang had fled by now - it had gotten much too seroius for them. The bunch of wimps! But it's what he did next that made my blood boil - he turned around and brutally clubbed both pups almost 15 feet away!

In a fury of rage, I snarled and leapt upon Ahkon - Nobody hurts a pup while I'm around! And we both went tumbling the steep side of the hill we were on. All that could be heard was thumping, thudding, and snarling as we viciously went at it. This was ridiculous! What had I ever done to him? He has just always seemed to pick on me for absolutely no reason!

Who are the UR WoI's?
Mardelius and Laurona, I believe C:

EXTRAS: By me :3
Personality:
Loyal, modest and a even bit shy sometimes, but he's also always determined to prove himself to the others.

Loyal: He would never betray the ones he loves the most - his pack...his family.
Modest: If you ask Klu if he can calm a pup with just a look, (which he can!!), then he would probably say something like this, " Oh...I dunno...maybe I have once...on accident...I'm sure anyone could do it, really...."
Shy: He has the biggest problem talking to females, especially his crush, who thinks he is a lunatic because of this!
Determined: Klu will stop at nothing to do what is right, even give his own life.

Unique Habits:
He has the greatest personality, yet he does have his flaws. Klu, believe it or not, gets nervous around females! Being the kind, thoughtful gentleman he is, you wouldn't think he would have such a problem, but he does, and he has it baaaaaad! He will stutter and blush and trip and all sorts of other things!Random gibberish willl spill out of his mouth, and he has even tripped over his own feet without even walking! What a hunk :B

Klu does have some good unique habits, too, like being able to take care of pups extremely well. He is friends with most mothers of the pack because he is almost a "babysitter." Pups are instantly attracted to him, and always calm down when they see him! Because of this, some other trainees/warriors call him a "sissy" and tell him he's weak, and will never be a warrior, but Klu doesn't let it get to him because he KNOWS he will prove them all wrong one day.

Likes:
Chasing prey, hunting, being with pups, helping other wolves, comforting them when they need it, helping in general, solving problems nobody else can, seeing happy couples =)

Dislikes:
Stuck up warriors, power crazy leaders, abusive wolves, wolves who are just plain cruel and mean, seeing orphaned/abandoned/hurt/abused pups, seeing another wolf unhappy =( He also really doesn't like when another wolf appears not to like him...because everyone likes him =)

Favorite Color:
Pale pinkish orange, because it reminds him of the dawn, the shortlived time of day, and new beginnings/second chances.

Fatal Flaw:
Klu is always forgiving, and gives second chances when he maybe shouldn't. Sometimes, it costs him to lose a fight. He will also do anything to save a pup or mother, even give his life.

Favorite Pasttimes:
Watching the Butterbirds,(attempting to talk to them, but only the Shaman can do that) being with pups, and training to become a warrior.
