Skylar is a very serious wolf with a lot of patience, he is very secretive and nearly never tells anyone about himself, and then only if you have won his trust. He don't like having other get to close to him in fear that his life will someway hurt them, even if they have showed him that they can take care of themselves. Because of the fact that he have spent the majority of his life alone he have a hard time communicating and really showing what he actually mean with things he says. He loves reading and listing to others talk about things, earning more knowledge is one of the most important thing in his life after his duty, something that have made him a skilled fighter over time, and have given him the ability keep hidden if he should so want to. It have hardened his mind and stubbornness, making him very dangerous I many ways. He have a very dry humour and can get vey sarcastic from time to time.
He had been following, shadowing, protecting the black wolf as long as he could remember, not longer knowing exactly why he still did it, just that his father, and his father before him had done the same, the knowledge of why long since forgotten. He too knew that his own children would follow in his footsteps, it was just how it worked, how it had been for centuries. They were the protector of the shadow wolf, the black angel without his memories. One they it was said he would get them back, but he wasn’t so sure about that, because he had seen it with his own eyes more then ones as he had lost them bit by bit, no matter how hard the angel tried, they still disappeared. He had wished more then ones that the shadow wolf would get them back, so he could become a normal wolf, someone without his duty, a duty he would keep his whole life, wished he could find a mate without the fear that they would be dragged into his ever moving life, never staying the same place, always keeping hidden, making sure the angel never saw him, because that was one of rules of the Raz, protecting without being seen. Looking after but never getting to know, never knowing the one they was meant to serve.
They were the guardians of The Shadow Wolf.
~His fears and dreams~
Skylar have a lot of fears, the biggest one is about failing to protect the shadow wolf, not because he himself cares that much, but because his father gave his life for his duty, and he don't want to let him down, it would feel like he had failed him. He fears as much as longs for a family, he both want someone to share his life with, but he don't want to rip them from the safety of home, of always knowing what would happen the next day, never having to fear when they would have to move again, the impossibility of having friends outside the family, never being able to choice for themselves where they would be, just following where the black wolf goes. He dreams of meeting his mother again, his mother who disappeared when his father died, no longer being able to keep moving when his father was no longer there, he don't know where she his, but he hopes he will meet her again.
The young pup was sitting between his fathers front legs, looking up at him with awe in his eyes, his mother tending to the fire not long away. The father smiled down at the pup, rubbing his nose against his ears, making the pup bat his paws at it’s much bigger chest trying to stop it. The father chuckled, shaking his head fondly.
“Papa, tell the story about Raziel, please?” the pup whined, making his eyes as big as possible looking up at his father. The older wolf chuckled, looking down at the pup.
“Again Skylar? Well, okay then, it begun with a brave warrior, a most feared fighter, that feel in love with a shadow...
-The life on the road-
Skylar was born on the road, have lived his whole life moving from place to place, never staying more then some months in the same place, sometimes coming back to a place some years later. Sometimes when he was smaller he made some friend when he stayed at the same place for longer periods of time, maybe he got to go to school for some weeks before they had to move again, those where the best, when he could get to know new thing, thing his parents couldn't teach him. Things that where nothing about surviving, fighting, things he didn't really need to know but that everyone else knew but him. Things other looked weirdly at him when he didn't know, when they said things he didn't understand. About toys, movies, books that he had never heard about. he got used to it after some time, but he still have a thirst for knowledge to this day, the want to know more.
He keeps moving, following where he shadow angel goes, always staying out of sight, sleeping in motels, abandoned buildings, sometimes right under the bare sky in a forest. Because no matter where the black wolf goes he have to follow.
Raziel was the only son of a Anaxian general many hundreds years ago, he was told to be a true fighter, a warrior that never backed down from a fight, and never lost. He won many fights, beat wolfs many times bigger then him, some say it was because of his beauty, that it distracted his opponents, so that he could defeat them before they had a chance to defend themselves. The story goes so, that one day the wolf refused to fight, something that had never happened before. Many a wolf tried to make him fight them, but he still refused, even when a wolf that had always been jealous of him wanted to fight him, he still said no.
Because he had fallen in love with a shadow, and the shadow had told him that he would never be with a fighter, a killer, that it wasn’t in his blood. And Raziel had listened, promised himself he would never kill again. And the shadow saw his stubbornness and willingness to change his life for love, accepted him, welcomed him. They meet in secret for many months, and as time passed, Raziel’s father become more and more displeased with the situation. One day he had gotten enough, and he told Raziel that he had found a girl that he was to marry, Raziel of course refused, he would never leave the shadow. His father locked him in the house making it impossible for him to meet the shadow. And when the day for him to marry, he had decided he would escape before the ceremony, to run away with his shadow.
The time for the wedding come, and there, behind a tree his shadow was, but not only them, a big wolf had them cornered, unable to escape. Raziel panicked, but the shadow saw him, shook his head, his eyes told him clearly to stay where he was. And the shadow took to the sky, powerful wings beating, getting them away from the bigger wolf who screamed angrily after him. The wedding had been stopped because of the screaming but soon started again like nothing had happened, but to Raziel it hadn't been, it had been the moment that would change his whole life, and that of his children, and their children, forever.
~His likes and dislikes~
Skylar have a great love of books, not so much for movies after he saw one based on one of his favorite books and it was so different from the book and there was a lot of important things that it didn't have. He likes fantasy and adventure books, like Lord of The Rings and Harry Potter. He have a secret love for Twilight, but don't tell anyone that! He would probably kill you.
He likes the sky and stars because a lot of time they are the only company he have on his time on the road, they make him feel less alone. He can the name of every star and constellation on the sky, their place and their story. His favorite his sirius, the dog star. It's simple, it's the brightest and you can see it even of you can't see the other stars in the sky, it's always there. He feels uneasy when there is storms and fog at night, because they make it impossible to see the stars.
Raziel was never the same after he had seen his shadow disappear into the sky. He had learned to like the girl he had married, but but it never felt right, she wasn't his shadow, and would never be. Many years past and they had a child, a little boy. He become the most important thing in Raziel's life, and the only one he would ever tell the story about the shadow. The boy promised his father he would never tell anyone if it wasn't about life and death.
The thing that Raziel had feared come on a day when his son was a young adult, the day the shadow come back. But the shadow didn't even look at him twice, and even when he talked to them there was nothing in their eyes that could tell that they knew who he was. The young boy saw the despair in his fathers eyes when the shadow walked away. It happened the same way for over a month, but never did the shadow recognize him. After that Raziel become so full of despair that he never left his room, and his son was the only one he allowed into the room, and even when he had food with him he refused to eat it. He son grew more and more desperate, and asked his father if there anything he could do. His father just smiled, shaking his head. The son asked the same thing for a week, and Raziel continued to refuse the food and give the same small smile. After that one week had gone, Raziel was so week that he could barely lift his head, and only then, when it was obvious he only had hours left he answered his son's question.
He told him to protect the shadow, but to make sure they never saw him, to keep hidden. And the son promised, he would do all those things, he would make his fathers last wish his life. He lived his whole life from that day following and protecting the shadow. And so did his mate an his own son, and his son took over where his father left of, going by the same promise, the same duty, that would follow the family of Raz until the day they no longer would be able to fulfill their duty.
Because of one wolfs love for a shadow, even when the shadow disappeared and they could no longer be together. A love so strong it broke every rule and changed fate, because one choice of son that loved his father and would do everything he asked of him, no mater what.
~The family~
Skylar's parents was the most important people in his life as a child and still is. He was an only child and took every bit of attention he could get, even if it wasn't much, his fathers duty was the most important thing in his life, even more important then his family even if they meant everything to him. His mother has fallen in love with his father when he had stayed longer in a bigger city and she had followed him, refusing to go back. So she stayed with him and he told her of his duty and she would have to respect that it would always come first to him. She didn't like it but she loved his father and could learn to live his way of life, as long as she could be with him. Skylar's father died when he was a teen, protecting the black wolf from people that wanted to catch them and do unspeakable thing to them. His mother was never able to heal from her mate's death and couldn't stay more the a month on the road without her him, she knew he son could survive by himself and she told Skylar that she would be staying behind in the next big city they got to. Skylar tried to make his mother change her mind but she just couldn't live a life that wasn't her's anymore and told her son that. So when the next city popped up not a week later she stayed, and it was the last time Skylar saw his mother.
The young pup yawned and snuggled closer to it's father. The older smiled, shooting a fond look to his mate that had laid down beside him. She smiled back and he laid his head on his paws beside their pup, she laying her own on his other. The young one had already fallen asleep, stubbornly staying awake for the whole story. They soon too feel asleep to the sounds of the forest and the sparking fire.
