I am looking to adopt...

Picture: Image

Kennel number: P81

Name: Esther Troy

Breed: African Wild Dog

Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?: It is rare that, when I go to adopt a character, that I find something beautiful enough to catch my eye at the very first second. That is what happened with Esther. While I have always been a fan of Spotty's art and character designs (and I even own a few), I had yet to find a design that literally took my breath away. She is special, special enough to be any sort of character you can imagine. I'll try to give her a good home, and a story. Every character deserves a story.

Personality: Esther is shy, yet Whvery protective. She would prefer to run from a challenge then stand up and face it, unless a friend or a loved one is in danger, in which case she will fight to the death to keep them safe. She has low self-esteem, due to being abandoned as a pup. However, she is quite sensitive, and adept at making anyone but herself feel better. She often acts melancholy, and tends to snap at anyone who catches her at a bad moment.

Likes: Rainy days, running, crickets chirping, and quiet evenings.

Dislikes: Her parents, sunny days, dandilion fluff, loud noises, and being abandoned.

History/Background: "Mum? Mummy! Mummy, where are you going? Wait for me!" I shouted until my throat felt raw and my heart felt broken. But she didn't wait. She ran away from me, and I could not follow.
"Damn these stupid legs!" I found myself crying, "Why won't they move?!"
But that was a dumb question. I knew why they wouldn't allow me to just run after my mother. That was all I wanted. But I could not. A fallin tree branch had pinned me to the ground barely a moon ago, breaking the nerves in my spine and causing both of my back legs to become paralyzed. If the ground had been harder, I could have pulled myself around by my front legs along, but the soft desert sand would not allow for such nonsense. All I could do was sit and pray that, by some miracle, someone would come along and find me. I had given up all hope of my mother returning.

It was when the sun rose the next day that Maurice came and found me. He had dug his way into the makeshift burrow I had made myself, and had to enlarge the short tunnel I made so that he could fit. He was no older than I was, but easily more than twice my size.
"What the heck?" he exclaimed.
I shrugged.
"What are doing here, idiot? You're sitting buried underground like a mouse on our territory! Get out!"
"Sorry to disapoint you, but I can't," I snarled, gesturing to my limp hind legs.
He only looked startled for a moment before fastening his teeth in my scruff and dragging me up the hill and to the heart of his territory, and his pack's camp. He brought me straight to the alphas, his parents, and I explained what happened. How I was paralyzed, how mother abandoned me. They took me in to their pack. I never thought anyone would ever care enough to do something like that for me.

Art: None as of yet

Other: Thank you ^.^

Postby sonnybear » Sun Jun 17, 2012 1:02 pm

ah, i hope im not to late! I simply fell in love with her<3

I am looking to adopt Celestia
Picture:
Image
L a d y divine, please be m i n e

Kennel number:
P139

Name:
Celestia

Breed:
Eastern Wolf

Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
I honestly don't know where to begin with this one. I decided to take one last look at all of the donations just in case, and apparently this one slipped right through my eyes the first time. I can't take my eyes off of her now! The mask is brilliant, as well as the colors. They all work so perfectly together, and the wings are very unique, setting her apart from any other character.
I will use her as a beloved character. Of course, she will get much art, me being an artist myself. I honestly think she is my favorite design i have seen on the site so far!

Personality:
Celestia is definitely a girly girl. She is actually very smart, although doesn't show it. When you first meet her, she might seem a little full of herself and cocky, but all she wants is to be good enough. She loves her mask because even if others can't see her, they fall in love with her personality, and that is all she cares about. It also covers her scar. Celestia is also a little self conscious, even if she doesn't show it. As a pup, all of the other pups made fun of her because she got a scar underneath her eye. Her mask also hides that, and she feels much better about herself with it hidden.

Likes:
Nature
Celestia thinks nature is the most beautiful thing in the world. She especially loves beaches and water, as well as stars. At night, she likes going out and counting them.
Swimming
This gives her a use for all of her energy. Celestia is a young wolf, only about 3 years old, so she has bundles of energy.
Art
Celestia is a big fan of art because it is just a beautiful way of expressing yourself.
Her Mask
Celestia's mask is the most important thing to her. First off, she just loves the colors and designs. Second, it covers her small scar underneath her eye. Even though the scar is barely noticeable, Celestia is still very insecure about it.
Feather Necklace
It is just a feather similar to the feathering on her legs that she likes to wear around.

Dislikes:
Bullies
This is the thing Celestia hates the most. It kills her seeing others in pain, especially because someone was mean to them. Now, she isn't afraid to stand up to bullies, and she tries to help others who are bullied as much as possible.
Tornadoes
As much as she loves nature, tornadoes are one part of it she could do without.

History/Background:
"I don't wish to bore you with something you do not care about. So i will not go on and on about things in my life that do not matter. With that being said, you should know one important story."

I sped threw the undergrowth, dew clinging to my legs. My eyes darted back and forth, searching for the eagle that was chasing me just seconds before. I dared not slow down, even though the bird was nowhere to be seen. I tripped occasionally over my puppy paws, but always regained my balance in time. The pine stench wafted into my nose, almost unbearable, but I wouldn't stop. Not until I got far enough away. Suddenly, I heard a loud screech, and the bird was upon me. I had no idea where it had come from, but I did know i could not outrun it. Darting into a small bush, I attempted to get away. It worked, for a second. I don't know why the bird wanted me, or why I had even ventured from my mother's den in the first place. All I knew was to run, keep running. "Help!" I yelped, hoping to alert anybody nearby, but it was no use.

It only took the bird seconds to figure out how to get to me, and soon enough I was sprinting through the greenery again. I hadn't the slightest idea where I was, or where I was going, but it didn't really matter. Within a minute, the bird was on top of me. It's long talons gripped around my small body, and i fought to get loose. My wings were not even close to being fully developed, so they couldn't help me in any way. I tried scratching the large beast, but my tiny claws were no match against the rough skin of the eagle. "Help!" I screamed once again, and started to give up hope.

Quite a few seconds went by, and I continued to fight. Finally, I made a little cut in the bird's claw, and it seemed to distress it enough to loosen it's grip on me. I started to fall. Before I could get loose, the bird made one last mark on me. It's long talon scraped me under the eye as it attempted to keep me from getting away. I fell threw the air, and finally hit a bush with a loud thump. My eyesight was dizzy, and the gash underneath my eye was bleeding heavily, but I didn't care. I got up and started to sprint. Even though I was banged up, my eyes sparkled with excitement. I had escaped.


Art:

^^this was very quick, and is very messy, i just wanted to show that i really do want her. i promise she will get better art c:

I am aware that the story is not long, but hopefully it is enough to win this beauty <3

Do you mean they're not on the forms list? If so, the forms list probably hasn't been updated yet. Don't worry, they'll make it on there before Octo judges. :)

Would it be okay if I lightly edited my form in the morning? I'm at a friends house and I do not currently have a computer, and it's really hard to edit on my smart phone.

The girl who isn't afraid to be herself.

"Nature
The gentle breeze
Sings its lullaby
Caressing my skin
And relaxing my body.
The bubbling brook
Drowns out the world
Carrying my worries
Downstream and away from me.
The delicate flower
Gives its delicious smell
To soothe fragile nerves
And calm the mind.
All around me
Nature brings me
The calm I need
To make it through the day.
Listen to the breeze.
Travel with the brook.
Smell the flowers.
Allow the calm to fill you."

Kennel Number Thirty-eight ;; K.N. 38
As soon as word got out that Spotty had submitted new babies to the Pound of Hope, I eagerly rushed to view the new batch of beautiful pups. My eyes ran over the first few designs; they were simply beautiful but just didn't say "oh my god, this character is amazing!', and I knew here I would find a darling that would fit my desires. When my eyes first fell on the beautiful creature in kennel number thirty-eight, I literally gasped with delight because she was JUST the kind of character I love. She is simple yet perfectly designed and eye-catching. Trinity has been on my mind since I first say her. I hope that I can call the amazing creature of kennel thirty-eight mine someday.

Image

Image
Trinity
"TRIN-it-ee"
Meaning Threefold
English and Latin


Her nickname is simply "Trin", a shortened form of Trinity. Pronounced "TRIN."

Image

Image
Fae ;; Female
Trinity is a lovely little female; the only of her family. It's hard, being the youngest of the family, especially when all the rest of the family is made up of three crazy male pups!

Image

Image
Mexican Wolf xx Hyena xx Dhole
Trinity's mother was half hyena, half dhole. Her father was a pure-bred Mexican Wolf. Though she was teased sometimes as a child, Trinity is proud to be a mixed canine! It makes her unique!

Image

Image
Confident
Trinity has always been different from her family, from her unnaturally-colored fur highlights and markings to her abilities and her determination. She is very happy to be who she is and doesn't try to be like other people just to be "cool". The perfect model for people today, Trinity knows how to be herself and love herself for who she is, even if it means getting teased. She's extremely self-confident and therefore fearless when it comes to challenges like standing up to unfair treatment or helping someone. One thign Trin isn't is shy. She is always right there and doesn't even cower because she knows she can do anything if she believes she can.

Determined
When making the choice to leave her birth pack to follow her destiny, Trinity had to believe in herself to get through tons of hardships. She didn't slow down and kept going because she knew she would eventually reach her goals. Trinity is extremely determined. When she has her mind set on a task, there's no stopping her. She'll do anything it takes, even breaking a few rules in the process. Trin isn't afraid to reach her goals and take risks to get to success.

Kind & Caring
Even though she can be tough, Trinity has a soft, kind, caring side that is onlyshown half the time to surround people. She can't resist helping someone in need whcih makes her very likeable. She doesn't hold a grudge so even those who hate her can't keep mad at her. She is very friendly to others and is known to be able to care for others. Trin is sweet and shows her motherly side whenever it's needed.

Tough
Because of her tough life getting through many challenges as a young adult, Trinity has also built a certain amount of toughness. She doesn't take drama. She is sympathetic, but only when a situation is true. She is never unkind, just firm. Trinity is liked by everyone but it is good for her to have her tough sides at times to keep everyone from going crazy. Her strength in conversation shows she means what she says but that she isn't looking to fight about it. She respects others and wants them to respect her.

Level-headed/Down-to-Earth
Trin is very level-headed. She never goes crazy in bad situations. Because of her good leadership qualities, she can always keep her head and get others around her to act in a reasonable, calm manner no matter what the time. Being a leader is just in her blood. Her down to earth-ness keeps others feeling like they are safe because they know she has control.

Tough
Right by your side, no matter what
Instantly your friend
Nice to everyone
Independent
Totally unique
Yes, she's an amazing girl


Image

Image
I honestly loved this girl from the moment I saw her. She is perfect, her her hair to her markings. I love everything about her. She reminds me so much of my best friend. She's tough but kind, fun to be with, and not afraid to be herself. Trinity is one of those characters that comes once in a lifetime. She would be right up there with my little Umiko, maybe even higher. Trin would be showered in art. Seriously. It would never end. I would extend her life story with a sequel and even rp with her. I really just love her that much. She's just such an amazing animal.

Even though I'm not an artist, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make this wonderful girl mine. She is perfect in everyway, and would have the absolute perfect home with me at my character thread, at my rps, at my word documents, and in my heart. The love wouldn't stop. Her design speaks to me. I would even be willing to put aside time from my busy days to sit down and improve my art styles to draw for her. I could pixel, sketch, and sumopaint. Every drop of effort. I'm willing to give it for her. I've never felt this way about any other character I've ever seen, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

“That's her.” A slender black she-wolf murmured, peering down at a small, pale brown she-pup nestled against her mother, along with her three litter-mates. “I know, Night.” a dark gray male sat beside her, the silver stars embedded in his fur glittering in the moonlight. “This is the one called Trinity. And the black pup is Apollo. One day, they will have to battle each other.”
The she-wolf nodded. “As the Wolf Spirit of bravery, I shall guide this young pup through the destiny she must fulfill and the dangers she will face.” she gestured to Trinity. The male spoke again, but to the she-pup. “Yes. One day, young pup, you will be a leader.”

Another voice spoke. “Have you found her?” A huge golden male wolf emerged from a bush. “Yes, Mist.” Night murmured. “This is the she-wolf who will one day create and lead her own pack. But we believe we must test her loyalty. This black pup beside her will one day lead their current pack. Trinity will have to choose to hand over her territory to her family, or keep it for her pack.” Mist nodded in agreement. He looked down at the pup. “Sleep now, little one. One day, you will be a great leader and make us all proud.”

~~~~

I sat only a few feet away from the stream, looking at my reflection in the silent ripples. Stirring the water with my paw, the wolf in the stream vanished, and I thought about what my mother, Nanuka, had told me about this place. When you die, she had said, your spirit will join the brook that runs through our land. I wondered how many wolves I had just touched, while mixing the swirling water. I rolled over onto my back so that I could feel the lush, soft grass press against my pale brown fur, and sighed, looking at the sky.

The clouds rolled across the blue, blocking some sun, then releasing it. Sniffing the air, I could tell that there would be storm, and my pack had to hunt. We had very little meat left on carcass that Codiac and Apollo had caught a few days ago.

Knowing that I would be needed, I heaved myself up from my relaxing position and headed back though the trees. I saw several tiny animals scuttling along beside my paws, and I managed to kill 3 birds and a snake. Not much, but it could supply the new mothers with food while the rest of us hunted.

The forest sort of opened up, into a clearing, but the trees still hung overhead like a roof, protecting us from rain or other harmful weather. They had started to moan in the wind, which became stronger. As I suspected, the pack was already lined up and ready to leave. Picking up my pace, I trotted across the camp and fell into step with Apollo, my older brother. My other brother Blitz was farther ahead, next to my friend, Rykua, and another she-wolf, Yanixa. The alpha of the pack, Tanaki, looked back at us from the front of the clearing, near the tunnel that led back into the forest. He was most eager of us all to bring back some meat, for his mate Quilina, who needed to feed his craving pups, Thistle and Crystal. He barked, signaling us to follow. Out in the thick forest, heavy mist clung in the air, as if trapped in the leafy canopy. The aroma of elk flooded into my nostrils, and Tanaki stopped, as did the pack. Nodding at us, he and the betas, Codiac and Dakota raced off a different direction. The others and I turned and twisted through the trees' branches until we broke out of the dense forest. Meadow stretched across the land, and drinking from the clear mountain brook was the herd of elk. They looked so peaceful that it hurt my heart to think that we had to kill them. But my growling stomach convinced me that I had too. Stalking silently into the open, I leaped, high into the air, and landed perfectly on the back of a small female, who reared up and whinnied in frightened surprise. Trying desperately to through me off, the elk pranced wildly around, and I had to bite my lower lip to keep from laughing. I had to admit, this female was making a total fool of herself, acting like a bucking-bronco. I needed to concentrate, I realized , if I wanted to catch anything. Digging my claws into the elk's back, I sliced through her thin skin, and ripped her back open, splattering warm scarlet blood all over the grass.

The animal yelped in pain, and me, with my soft heart, quickly shot my claws into her throat and killed her. I knew most wolves probably loved to see their prey suffer, but I can't stand seeing any creature be agonized, so I try to get it over with as fast as possible. Looking around, I could see that Codiac and Dakota were helping Tanaki drag a blood-stained body across the field. Together, the three of them had killed the main bull. They made a good team, though I could tell that Tanaki missed hunting with Quilina. Rykua and Blitz, along with Apollo were lifting another cow onto their backs, along with her young calf. The other elk had fled.

We hardly said a word on our way back to camp, probably because our mouths were full with bloody fur. But when we arrived to the clearing Tanaki padded to the cliff-like boulder that jutted out of the forest floor. “Well done, everyone! You all deserve a good meal. Eat up.” He smiled, springing down from the ledge and trotting enthusiastically to the den where Quilina and Shaysta nursed their small pups. I followed eagerly, clamping my jaws onto the enormous bull's leg. Inside I could see Quilina nuzzling her beautiful ginger muzzle into Tanaki's fur. Returning the greeting, my leader turned and cuddled her and the pups. I dropped the meat at Tanaki's paws, dipping my head. “Why, thank you, Trinity.” Quilina barked, thankfully. She thrust her muzzle into the flesh of the leg, as did Tanaki. While the two of them ate, I silently admired the tiny pups that were curled up so tightly, next to their mothers. Crystal held her puny little white head up, trying hard to open her eyes;I caught a quick glimpse of her piercing blue, so much like Quilina's eyes. Thistle was busily suckling on the warm milk that flowed into his mouth, this eyes shut and a contented smile on his face.

On the other side of the den, Spider sat, licking Kishi's fluffy gray pup fur while Shaysta devoured another elk leg hungrily. Staring down at Kishi, whimpering softly, a strange image flashed through my mind. Me. With a mate. And pups. And a pack. I shook my head, trying to clear it. What was that? Was that my future?

I didn't know what to make of what I had just seen. Suddenly I felt very tired, as if someone was pushing large weights onto my shoulders. Leaving the the mothers to eat in peace, I choked down a small chunk of meat into my uneasy stomach and hurried into the hunters' den.

Laying my head on my paws, I struggled to make sense of my vision, but all I did was give my self a head ache. How would anything I saw ever really happen to me? Maybe it was a mistake. “Kinda early to be going to bed, don't you think, sis?” Immediately alert, I turned to see Apollo's amber eyes flash from the darkness, his lithe black shape hidden in the shadows. “I guess.” I mumbled, not looking at him.
“Anything wrong?”
“I was looking at the pups, and then something weird happened. I saw this image in my head, but so clearly it seemed real. I had a mate, pups, and I was the alpha female of a pack.” I finished.
“Well , it sounds like a prophecy to me.” My brother barked thoughtfully.
“A prophecy?”
“Yah. You should go ask Mom about it.” Apollo suggested.
That was a great idea, I decided. My mother was an elder, and she was one of the wisest in the pack. Surely she could tell me what my vision meant.
“Thanks, Apollo! You're a genius!”
He smirked. “I know, I know.”

Racing out of my den and across the clearing, I shot right into my mom, chewing on a bone left over from the bull carcus. Shaking her head, she laughed. “Trinity, what's the rush?”
I explained my 'prophecy' to her, and she nodded.
“The wolf spirits have contacted you, my pup. You are destined to lead your own pack.”
“So, you mean I have to leave?”
“You don't have to. But if it was me, I would follow my destiny.”
I knew what I had to do. Clawing myself up onto high rock, I barked to Tanaki, telling him I had something important to say.
“I am prophesied leave and lead my own pack!” I yipped enthusiastically.
Tanaki looked up with sad but serious eyes.
“Is this what you want, Trinity?” he asked solemnly.
“More than anything.” I declared.
“Very well. We will miss you.”
Tears welled up in my eyes. “Good bye, everyone!” I sobbed. “I'll never forget any of you!” Nuzzling each of them, I hurried out of my camp and into the damp, dark forest. Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to think clearly. My life had ended as a hunter. And began as an alpha female.

~~~~

Dark shadows loomed above me, blocking out the moon, the only light I had. I missed my family dreadfully, but I knew that I must follow my destiny. I hadn't stopped walking since last night, when I left. By now, my stomach was growling almost louder than I could, so I decided to stop for a hunting break. Well, I found out quickly that it isn't easy to hunt alone. I would be killed easily if I tried to catch some more elk, because wolves hunt in packs, and since I didn't have one yet, I didn't know what to do. It was so late, and I was exhausted, so I lay down in a soft bed of moss, protected by a thick canopy of bushy green leaves. Gentle gusts of wind kept rustling my fur, keeping me awake, and my mattress of greenery felt uncomfortable, too different from my nest back home. Home. I missed it so much. But this is were you belong, I urged myself. So, closing my eyes, I drifted into a restless sleep, the branches clattering like bones above my head.

Opening my eyes, I could see that I was in some strange place. It was different than any place that I'd ever seen, no trees, no bushes, no forest. I was laying across something hard and rough. Above me, a large shadow stood, starring down with a twisted, angry snarl plastered across his face. He seemed enormous and I felt pinned down, unable to move above from his beady, terrifying eyes.
He took a thin black tube out of his belt and pointed it at me. His face contorted into a sinister smile. My ears flattened against my skull, and I mustered enough strength to heave myself up and begin to run, my lithe body a ribbon of constant motion as I fled. His hard boots followed me, the black tube threatening to shoot. Finally, the boom sounded. I fell to the ground. I was dead.


I woke up drenched in a cold sweat. My whole body was shivering, and I sighed with relief when I found myself under the trees in the mossy bed I had fallen asleep in. My weak limbs stretched out and my stomach growled. Determined to learn to feed my pack, I got up swiftly and began to search the underbrush. A frail rabbit filled me enough to satisfy me for now. But I had to be off again, hoping to find hope, and reach my destiny. But the small carcass didn't hold me for long. I soon had no choice but to let my tired body fall into another deep sleep.

~~~~

My sleep was dreamless this time, so I was able to get a good rest, though I must have tossed and turned a lot, because there was 3 burrs caught in my pelt when I woke. Flicking my ears, I peered around, observing my surroundings carefully. Everything was quiet, except for the occasional twitter of a bird from above. The bright sunlight dappled the ground like honey, and there was a calm breeze rustling the leaves; the beautiful day improved my mood. I yawned and stretched, then padded out my make-shift den, perking my ears for any signs of prey. A young fawn, accompanied my its mother, were nibbling on the grass in a near-by clearing, oblivious to me as I stalked them silently from behind. Once I was at just the right spot......

“Rah!” I leaped out of the bush onto the mother's back. Her frightened yelp was cut short and a sank my teeth into her neck. The fawn had fled back into the dense forest, invisible to the eye, or I would've killed it, too. Happily, I unearthed my fangs from the does flesh, and dove into my meal. “Maybe the Wolf Spirits were right.” I thought as warm meat slid into my stomach. “I can find food.” I gulped down a last mouthful and lay out on the lush, soft grass. It tickled the fur on my back, and I sighed wistfully, wishing I would always be this care-free. But my happy thoughts didn't last long.

Suddenly, a near-by shrub shook, and a beautiful white she-wolf burst from it, her whole body trembling, and her pelt stained with blood. She held a tiny white pup in her jaws. At first I was to shocked to talk, but I soon manage to gasp, “Who are you?”
“My name is Lioki.” she murmured, her voice shaking. A deep growl sounded from only a few wolf-lengths behind, but the creature who had uttered it was was hidden by thick greenery. Lioki yelped with fright, and turned to me, her eyes wide.
“Please help me!” she whimpered, looking frantically back at the bush in which she had emerged. “That grizzly bear! He's trying to eat my son!”

~~~~

Moments after Lioki had spoken, an enormous grizzly tore through the shrub, claws and teeth bared. Its beady amber eyes darted around, searching for the frightened she-wolf's pup. His wild gaze swept over me, then Lioki, and until finally it found the pup. Giving a horrible snarl, it lunged, swinging its claws at Lioki.

“Run!” I screamed, knowing we had no chance in defeating it. Lioki didn't hesitate bolting forward. I followed, my eyes wide and frightened. But the bear was to quick. It seized the mother, who was still clinging to her pup. Panic gripped me. They were going to die id I didn't do something! Suddenly, without thinking, I turned and ran back to them. Then, with all the strength that I had, shot forward and butted the bear hard in the stomach with my head. Gasping in surprise, the bear let go of Lioki and she leaped to the ground, unharmed.

“Go!” I urged them in a whisper as the grizzly began to regain his breath. Shaking his huge head, the furious bear swung his thick arm at me, knocking me into a small river near by. Just then, an idea hit me like lightning. This river had to go somewhere. Before the bear could strike me again, I romped up stream, with my enemy close behind. Yup, I was right. The water was getting faster. Excited that my theory was correct, I continued to bound forward. Peering to my left, I could see streaks of white pelting through the forest, and I knew Lioki was running beside me. A sudden roaring make me stop in my tracks. Just as I suspected, a waterfall was up ahead. Veering a quick right, I dove out of the water and clung to a large fallen tree that was wedged across the river. Clawing myself onto the damp tree, I watched as the bear flung is paws helplessly in the now-deep water. He was just about to go down when... 'Crash!'

I was lurched forward. The bears had slammed his heavy claws down on the tree. I could feel myself falling as the the old oak began to float towards the falls. Suddenly, a flash of red fur whizzed by; I saw a large male wolf beside me. He shoved me hard with his head and I flew off the log, landing on the mossy bank. I had hit my head; the male digging his claws into the bears think paws was a blur, but then I saw something that snapped me awake. I ran to the edge of the water falls, screaming, just in time to see the tree slide down the falls, carrying the bear and the strange male with it.

~~~~

“No!” I yowled, but all I could see was the endless fall of water. Lioki emerged from the brush and placed her pup down on the ground.
“Who was that?” she asked as her son began to whimper. “I don't know.” I replied frantically. “But he fell down the waterfall!” Leaving Lioki and her whining pup, I scampered down the steep cliff and onto the banks of the pool below.
“Hello?” I called, but no one answered. Suddenly, an enormous mass of brown fur floated to the surface. The bear appeared to be dead, though I couldn't be sure. I began to wade into the water, calling out to the wolf. Another flash of red caught my eye. There he was! His bright fur stood out against the dull brown sand of the bank that he lay on. I raced over immediately and began checking his fur. There appeared to be no blood or wounds. What I did notice was, he was awful handsome. Prodding him with my nose, I whisper, “Are you alright?” He stirred, then let out a long, mournful groan. “Are you alright?” I asked again, louder this time. He heaved himself to his feet, and shook his head. “I think so.” he murmured.

“What happened?” “You fell off the waterfall.” I said back, eyes full of sympathy. He shook his head again. “Come back up here with me.” I told him, and helped up to where Lioki was sitting, looking worried. “
Now.” he said, sitting down next to her. “What happened again?” Once he fully understood, I told him and Lioki about my destiny to be an alpha. “I would be honored to be a member of your pack.” Lioki told me. “After all, you saved me, and my son.” “Count me in, too.” the male replied. “By the way, my name's Jake.”
“Great.” I smiled at them. “Thanks so much.” We continued down the slope, stopping only to eat some elk carcass that the bear must have started on. Then I directed us into another forest, and once again we began our journey. Me, and the Pack.

~~~~

The sun had risen and fallen in the sky many times before Jake, Lioki and I had found a place to stay. The cave was small, dug from the hard layers of rock and dirt from a nearby cliff. The inside was dark and slightly damp but comfortable after we'd dragged in the bedding. Lioki and her pup had to remain in the den while Jake and I hunted for us. It was hard but the challenges payed off for sure. So far, being Alpha Trinity was great! A dream come true.

Jake and I were on the scent of a lone, eldery elk when we heard something that froze our bones. A shrill scream poured from the mouth of the cave.
“Lioki!” I yowled, throwing myself into the cave. The white she-wolf was pinned down to the floor by a large brown wolf with piercing green eyes. Her sides heaved with the effort of holding the wriggling mother to them ground. “Give me food!” she growled, though her voice was masked with exhaustion.

“Stop!” I boomed, and the she-wolf froze, and, seeing that she was clearly out-numbered, began to back away. I turned to Jake. “Help Lioki and her pup.” I told him.
“Who are you, and why are you attacking my beta?”
“Beta?” Lioki barked, surprised.
“I-i, I'm Alaroo.” the wolf whimpered. “I'm starving and needed food, and I though she might have some.”
I nodded. “So. Hunger drove you into doing this.” I concluded.
“Yes.”
“Alright then.”
“Please, may I join your...pack?” she pleaded at Lioki (who I had just decided would be the beta female) and Jake (who I hoped would someday be the alpha male).
“Yes.” I said again. “T-thank you.” she whispered, then collapsed on the ground. I noticed that she was very thin; her bones were showing. But at one part of her body, she was very plump. Then it hit me. That's why she was so weak hungry! She was going to have pups!
“Alaroo.” I murmured quietly in her ear. “Are you expecting pups?” She nodded, slowly, her eyes closing. “Well, they're coming soon!” I realized that was why she suddenly dropped.
“Help her!” I yelped to Jake and Lioki. “They're coming now!” Alaroo moaned; she began to bleed. “Push!” I urged her. She gave a shuddering heave, and a small pup plopped out.
“Here.” I gave it to Jake. “Lick it!”
“Oooowwwww....” Alaroo groaned and two more pups came out. “Lick!” I ordered.
“Last one!” I promised the she-wolf as she gave another enormous shudder. A very tiny pup slid out, and Lioki quickly applied the cob webs. Her bleeding quickly slowed, and I hurried over to her with some elk meat. She gobbled it down, and whined for more.

Alaroo ate a whole leg before she stopped whimpering. Her pups suckled contently, as she slept. “Who knew that she was pregnant.” I muttered to them. “But look! We've got four perfects pups, and future warriors of the pack!” There were three males and one female; all of the males looked exactly like their mother with dark brown furs and bright green eyes. The female, however, was pale gray with amber eyes; I suspected that she took the look of her father.

Alaroo suddenly stirred. Lioki was by her side in a minute. “How are you feeling?” she whispered, obviously not grudging against the she-wolf, though she had tried to kill her. Alaroo smiled warmly. “Fine, thanks to you all,” she murmured, looking down at her pups. “I had now idea that they were coming this soon. I'm so glad to be a member of your pack.” Sighing softly, she lay down her head, as did Jake and Lioki, and fell fast asleep. Lioki's son, who looked quite large compared to the new arrivals, snuggled his head into his mother's fur. Looking up at the stars, I knew that the Wolf Spirits were right about me being a leader. And if this was always how it felt, I was so glad that the chose me.
