Sirius grew up the son of two warriors in the Fun Sotw Jok herd.
Both of them were named after constellations in the starry sky;
his father was Orion and his mother was Cassiopeia. When the
young foal was born, his parents could not decide what to name him,
and were stuck between several names, so they decided to wait as he
grew and see what best suited who he would become. they swore
he'd have a name by his first year birthday. well, the poor colt was
born in the dead of winter, and during one blazing snowstorm was
separated from his parents & his herd. he found shelter in a small
alcove along a cave wall; but quickly realized he was not alone.
he had entered the home of a pack of wolves, and yet he was not
afraid. he approached the alphas with dignity and serenity, and
the pack took him in as though he were a pup. they raised him for
those cold four months, until he was able to leave and find his herd.
however, they traveled with him for protection, and appeared on
the horizon with the pack who had saved him. it was seen as a
miracle, and his parents instantly named him after the wolf star
in honor of his miraculous journey through his young life.
