HERE IS THE COMPLETE STORY: Please tell me it makes all sense.. lol
Legend:
There are today legends, myths, and stories passed down from one person to another on how the wolves came to be and what they exactly are. Are the devils of the humans? Are the protectors of the land? Or are they simply just another creature trying to survive this wild land now inhabited by humans?
Either way, this legend starts with the poem below about wolves who came from the stars:
Long ago, an old wolf came to that time when
his life on earth could last no longer.
"My people," he said,
"You can follow in my footsteps when the time comes
for you to join me in the skyland."
Then he left the earth, climbing higher and higher,
and each place he stepped the sky filled with stars
More to the legend:
There are eight wolves, four males and their mates, who entered the sky when their time came. ALL wolves are direct descendants of them. All came from them, in one way or another. These wolves did not know each other directly, for all the pairs came from different parts of the world. One came from the north, one from the east, one from the south, and one from the west.
Long ago Past:
I swat playfully at one of my sister's. She rolls along the ground as my other sister jumps on my back trying to drive me to the ground. We are pretending to fight, practicing for when we grow up with our own packs. Its been two years today since I was born. My sisters are just a few moons under me, some how not being born with me. I love my sisters with all my heart. They are beautiful. Like me they are black but where I have a touch of brown to my legs, they have a white spot on they chest. Something they inherited from our arctic mother. I don't know how she came here and met my father who looks just like me, but I do not worry because I love my family and will someday grow to take my father's place as the protector of wolves. Father once told me that there were other wolves out there... with different past than me, different ancestors. He said some wolves came from the trees, some came from the rivers but eventually all wolves go to the stars like my grandfather did.
Recent Past:
Its been a year now since my sisters died in the great forest depression. She was the last of my family alive, now, its only me. I have no family left at all now. All I have are the memories of them. My father died when I was only three, after a hunting trip went bad. My mother soon fallen for the grief was too much. So my sisters and I raised each other and and soon went on to make our own packs and our own families. So we each picked a direction and went that way. Last I heard is my sisters had died due to the great forest depression. I'm not surprise. My sisters were always one to give food to others before themselves. I would too but I didn't have a pack and I know my sisters did, or at least one of them did.
Durai's Story:
My name is Durai and I'm chief of the Nakshatras wolf tribe. Nakshatras means Stars. I am a direct descendant of the first wolf to fill the sky with a star. The north star is my grandfather. He was from the north and the first wolf to enter the stars. There a few others up there, my mother and father and my sisters. I am the only one alive now who is a direct descendant. I know there are a few others at there who are direct descendants to the first eight wolves who entered the sky. But for now I'm here, ruling over my wolves as their chief, hence my name Durai. My wolf pack is small but everyone in it is precious in their own way. We all are mismatches who somehow came together as a family. Some are more family than others but we all will protect our pack.
Your Story:
You are a wolf (what kind of wolf, age, gender, personality - is up to you) but you are a wolf. You live in a valley that is surrounded by a large forest and a small stream that runs through and connects to a lake deep in the forest. As you wonder in this territory, you happen upon a wolf pack. And you choose either to be a loner or be a member of the pack. Its all up to you. (Btw you do not have to start off as a loner). Did you start from another wolf pack.. such as one of the sister's packs or did you start from an unknown pack or were always born in Durai's pack? Its up to you to decided your heritage but don't forget the eight wolves that you came from and someday will see again in the stars.
Present:
I lie on a rock watching the den and the surrounded forest. I can rabbits to the south, making their way to their warm holes during this winter months. I'm not hungry right now but I will be soon and so will the pack so I slowly stand up. My dream-catcher necklace swings around my neck. When I first received it, I hated it, but loved it. Hated it because it made noise and scared my prey but I should learned how to make it silent as myself. And I've always loved it for it was a gift, but that's another story to tell. For now, I must hunt though and feed my pack... *bounds off the walk in search of prey*
