The family returned to Basia, the small, bowl-shaped valley they called home. They stood on a ledge, looking out over its dense forest and immense beauty. This family, made of mother, father, and three pups, had been sent out to see the progress of the elk. Winter had just passed, and the elk would soon move in to dine on the marvelous grass. Many wolf families lived in this valley, united to make the largest, most unnatural pack ever.
The three pups - Cassie, Rowan, and Kerl - bounded down to the other pups to play, while their parents went to report that the elk were on the eastern ledge of the valley. Tonight would be a full moon, and the Pack of Basia would be prosperous. Aleric, the original Basia alpha, suddenly howled for the attention of the pack. "Wolves of this valley," he cried. "The elk have settled in on the eastern side of the valley. We will be able to attack tonight, and we should be able to make a kill without running for days. For tonight is the night of the Blue Moon." Anxious growling and whining swept over the wolves.
For years on end, a rumor had spread among every animal in their region. Every living being knew the rhyme:
Blue as it shines
Spirits will rise
To meet with the living
And create a demise
Of the soul, of the heart
For the fear to depart
From those who will long be forgotten
But those who will cry
To its glory in night
Shall be good and have prosper
From the curse'd Blue Moon
The wolves shivered as they thought of the Blue Moon. All were struck out of their daze by Aleric's voice. "We shall go at the rise of the Moon!"
~~~
When the moon rose, the pack started on their hunt. Aleric caught a scent and lead them for hours, trailing up the side of the valley. At last they caught sight of the herd. He looked to the Blue Moon, and let out a soundless cry, meant for the moon to ask for its help. Aleric looked behind him at his pack. This would be all of the pups' first hunt, and he was determined for none of them to be injured. Then they charged. Another wolf, Bertil, singled out an injured female. For some few hours, they chased the elk down the side and into the valley, biting and snapping all the way. Finally, a she-wolf known as Abhita caught hold of its injured leg and together the pack took it down.
After an hour of feeding, the Pack of Basia went back to their spot in the valley where they had made all of their dens. The adults went inside, and the pups climbed on a boulder to talk about the hunt. Aleric's pup said, “Did you hear my daddy howl?” They all nodded at each other. A pup of Bertil lowered his head. “I wish I could howl like that.” All agreed sadly. The pups knew that they had weak, newborn-like howls. Cassie’s eyes gleamed and sparkled. “Maybe if we all howl together, we can!” Everyone’s tails wagged, and they jumped from side to side. “Okay, on the count of tail! Head.. paws.. tail!” The pups lifted their muzzles to the moon, howling proudly to be a wolf.
Little did the pups know that no wolf dared to howl twice during the Blue Moon. A mysterious thick, crystal blue mist spiraled down from the moon's place in the sky. The pups' bodies went numb and their eyelids drooped closed, but they could still see what was happening around them. The sparkling mist twirled around each of them, creeping through every part of them. What seemed to be spirits of wolves stared at them, snarling and clawing at them helplessly, knowing it was impossible to reach them. Aside from the terrifying ghosts, odd-colored markings tattooed themselves onto the pups. In the midst of the strange phenominon, the mist shaped into strange things, and attached themselves onto the pups; they would never come off. These pups, of many, many families, would forever have the Curse of the Blue Moon.
