Name: Gletscher
Species: Leopard Wolf
Personality: Gletscher is very entergetic and friendly. He loves to play with other wolves and gets along with almost everyone.
Likes: The snow, cold weather, almost everyone he meets, and his mate, Valeria.
Dislikes: Hot weather
Background: Gletscher is from a Leopard Wolf pack way up north. The pack trys to stay in un-populated areas to prevent being spotted by humans. Many humans try to capture this rare species and even use them for lab test. Others capture them for thier rare, exotic coat. They are an endangered species, and fewer that 300 are left in the world today. Gletsher was born during the spring in a small woods in Greenland. He was named Gletsher after the great Glaciers that surrounded the Leopard Wolve's Territory. His mom is a white Leopard Wolf, and his father is a red-hazel colored Leapord Wolf, an extreamly rare color. Gletcher had two sibblings, but they died shortly after being born. From the start, Gletcher was a very happy and energetic Leopard wolf. He was extreamly curious and always loved to explore. By playing and exploring a lot as a pup, his senses became sharper and he began to conect with nature. He used it to help him hunt and hide from dangers such as polar bears. One day, when he was walking in the woods, he spotted a large blue bird flying from tree to tree, and he began to chase it. He chased it until the edge of the territory. He was dissapointed that he could not follow it, but he knew better than to cross the boundry. But then, a light blue feather fell from the sky. He was amazed how blue it was. He thought that it looked as bright and as beautiful as the sky. So he took it and put it behind his ear, and he has kept it ever since. He always liked to be alone when he was in the woods, but when he was back in his camp, he always stayed with Valeria. Valeria was another gray and white Leapord wolf, with a fierce personality and a sense for adventure. They both became good friends, and as they got older, an romance began to for between them. But the pack leader, Eis, was not happy about this. Mainly, becasue Valeria was his daughter, and he didn't want her to be mates with Gletcher. He wanted her to be with Der Mond, another Leopard wolf from the neighboring pack. Then, the two packs could be at peace between each other. Valeria, on the other hand, thought that Der Mond was too cold hearted and overconfident. She decided to go agianst her fathers will, and she stayed with Gletcher. But after 3 months, Eis forced her to go and live with Der Mond. Gletcher was heart broken and depressed without her. He would not go out in the woods, he would not eat, he would only eat small chunks of snow to stay hydrated. Then, he decided to go and visit her. This was very risky though. If he was caught tresspassing, he could be hurt or killed. But he had to see Valeria. He ran over an met her. They agreed to meet 2 nights later at the border. They talked and talked all night. They even became sleepy and fell asleep together, forgeting that they had to return to their packs. When they woke up, they realized they had been gone too long and ran back to the packs. They both rolled in snow and rubbed off each other's scent. When they got back, they made excuses about walking in the woods and hunting. No one expected a thing. They met several times again, saying how much they missed each other. Then, 4 months later, Valeria had 3 pups. Der Mond was bursting with pride over his three new pups. When Gletcher heard the knews, he acted sad and depressed. But deep in his heart, he jumped for joy, becasue he knew they weren't Der Mond's pups. They were his. Valeria went with the idea that Der Mond was their father because if everyone else found out, Gletcher would be in huge trouble. He could even be killed for "Stealing" another Leopard wolve's mate. So they continued on with the secret. But Valeria became worried. Her pups would grow up knowing only their fake, cold-hearted father, and not the warm, loving and caring Gletcher.

Introduction - The Inverted Forest has been long gone. Where the weird and wild once was, now humans have taken to claiming their domain. The trees are replaced with the metallic structures known as buildings, and where once birds and bugs flocked the humans now roam. Animals that were never believed true, never were. And in this concrete jungle, two little pups are soon about to discover that nothing is ever truly lost. Especially the place called Inverted Forest.

Personality – Sundance is very serious. She takes everything as if it must be thought out critically, analytically, and without flaw. She is very much a perfectionist, and must always meet her challenges with an open mind and ready to solve any mystery. She's great with keeping things to herself, as her entire history prior to Leo's birth has gone unspoken of for a long time. Obviously she's great with keeping secrets, as her whole life is practically one. But of course, he can't blame her. After all, she's only trying to keep everything safe and together.

Not like Sundance is always in a sour mood, though. Sometimes she can manage to crack a smile. Rarely, but it does happen. She can be a somewhat cheery person, and isn't very often pessimistic. Just what appears to be a little cranky. She isn't easily upset, but has quite the temper when she snaps. She tries to maintain a cool, calm, and collected manner, but sometimes it's hard to control yourself. So every now and then she just has to let something out, and when she does, it isn't pretty. She's quick to ask for forgiveness, though, and doesn't usually hold a grudge. Sometimes she will, but not normally.

History - Living a life of lies is always hard. I always had to tell little Leo that things were far from the truth. I had to lie about mother and father, about where we were from, about who we were in general. It made me feel so filthy. To go from being a strong, proud wolf with a warrior's spirit and pride, to alleyway trash, always made me feel sick. I was a horrible person for doing such things to little Leo!

But she could never know. That was our promise. All was said and done, we were the last remaining, and we needed to let go. It'd been so long, but we had to let go. We couldn't hold on to anything forever. eventually the stories would fade, and soon enough, we'd all turn to street dogs who lived out meaningless lives. I didn't want to plant stories of fantasy and mystery into Leo's head, lest she look for what was lost and could never again be found.

It was as if she always had that light, though. The special light that made her different from other wolves. She was always smiling, eyes twinkling, and constantly reminding me of the stories of heroes and heroines. Somehow, her very being seemed to carry every tale ever told. It was the worst thing for me to see her, because I remembered what I could never have, and realized that I could never let it all go without her. My life was lost, and she was the painful scar that kept telling me so.

It didn't take me long to figure out she was special. Aside from the fact that she made it extremely difficult to forget and let things go, she knew things. To her, anything made sense. If I told her butterflies hatched from eggs laid by chickens, she'd be able to see a way that it would be possible. I envied her for that, and knew she was one of the last flickering lights of the place, one whose light would eventually go out and leave the world empty of story and empty of rumor, and completely normal again. Without anything freakish to ever be, or have been.

Well, she was only a few months old when I ran into the last whispers on home. A gang of dogs, canines who I'd once called friends. Now I didn't even consider them highly enough to be enemies. No, in my mind, they were down among the dirt and spit of the world. Worthless hope, they were. Always declaring they'd kill the humans and reclaim the forest they'd called home. They wanted to murder the very foundation of the new society, kill all the innocent beings who resided here, and then recreate home in an even greater shape and form.

It wasn't possible, though. The forest was gone. Only the city remained, with cars and trucks and flashing lights and loud sirens all through the day. As much as I myself hated it, I was learning to let go. Those foolish dogs needed to do the same thing. They needed to accept our fate and move on. To let go. To realize they were wrong. But they were built on a foundation of cruel, spiteful men, angry and ready to kill for satisfaction and a sense of "right". I couldn't put Leo in that kind of an atmosphere. She might be my half-sister, but I love her more than anyone could ever know. And she's all I have left. I couldn't put her in such danger.

Unfortunately, I was one of the strongest fighters the group had. My own heart was filled with pain and vengeance at the death of my father and mother. I was so angry. And then the last refugee party came up; they had a little pup with a star around her eyes and fur like me. Like my mother. They told her about my mother's strength, and how she had told them to find me and give me my new sister. Half-sister, to be specific. But I could never tell her that. I always told her I was her sister. She was such a sweet thing. And they began to talk about how she'd fight and die with me, for the sake of the forest.

I couldn't stand it. A newborn pup and they were telling me about how she would die. It seemed so horrible, even to think about. So very wrong. I couldn't do that to my little Leo. I took her up in the night, said my farewells, and was off with a warning on my shoulders; if I ever set foot on their land again, I'd be dead faster than I could ever manage to escape. So I took Leo and left and never looked back. And we've lived a fairly good life since, though we began to starve and did end up moving a bit too close to the dogs. They ran me out, with another threat. And I've refused to seek out any signs of kindness from any old inhabitants again.

My Cage Number: 15
My Name: Bleue Lumière, It means blue light. But my friends call me Luma
I am a: Mudi and a Striped Hyena
I act: foolish at times, I have no need for my life so I don't care if I walk into danger. I can protect myself so I refuse help from others. I do not fight for no reason, but if I get into fights I finish them. Though I do not care for my life the thought of hurting somebody through my carless actions is more painful then metal to the heart.
I like: Sleeping in my home with my mate. Fire and Water, both elements work well with me.
I hate: Wolves, they think they are better than me. Earth and wind elements, they think they know everything and act way to smart.
My story:
"Momma, when can we go home?" I asked slowly walking beside my mother, I was the runt of her litter, or so I thought. I didn't want to run ahead like the others to explore. "When we finish." She said to me, her grey coat and big brown eyes captured my sight as I walked, I couldn't look away as she moved so fluently. A sharp rock under my paw quickly set my thinking back to the path ahead. I couldn't help but look at the other pups, all my siblings were grey and were larger than me. With long shaggy coats and brown eyes. How come I have black fur? Why am I smaller? I ask those questions to many times. It was time for a new question, "Momma.."
"Yes, Luma?" She asked looking into my eyes, she looked worried as I had a serious tone. "Why do you love me?" Momma stopped in her tracks, frozen by the words. It was as if someone had un-dug a secret. But I still had no clue and her answer didn't help. "I love you because you are my daughter. " She finally said picking me up by the scruff. It was her way of saying end of discussion. We traveled for a few hours, as I swayed it Momma's jaws with each powerful step I had time to think. I didn't care that I was different, it never bothered me and I was never teased but the fact remains that I am different. I am nothing like the rest of my pack, my ears stand straight up and my coat is small, I barley made it through the winter. My hind quarters are lower to the ground and my howl always made others stop. My thoughts were rolling over themselves, tuning everything else out as I closed my eyes and tried to figure out the puzzle. What I didn't know was today was the day I would loose everything and not even be able to take a second glance.
Having my eyes closed and the soft swaying led me to fall asleep and I never noticed when Momma set me down and somebody else picked me up. When I awoke I was trapped in some cage, I had a soft pnk bed under me and a bowl of water in the corner of this black box. I let out a loud howl then waited for my Momma's reply but it never came. Instead a beast with hair only on their heads came and cooed at me. I went to the back of the cold box and tried to curl up and hide, but a voice brought me out of hiding. "Bleue" A dog said, it had ears like mine, a tail like mine but its coat was curly. "Momma?" I asked as I looked at the large female dog over. I knew it was not Momma but her voice was always in my dreams and I could only feel like I knew her. "Yes?" She replied shockingly. “No, Where is my real Momma!” I barked feeling angry. This wasn’t my Momma and her posing to be one was not alright with me. “But I am your Momma!” She said her bark sounding just like mine as she crept to where I Was in the cage. Her face was more surprised than mine with my outburst. The odd creature let me out of the cage and pushed me towards my mother who was smelling me and licking me. My ears were pinned and my tail was straight out as she licked me, it was just like Momma used to but this wasn’t her. I don’t know what I was waiting for but I couldn’t take it, I lashed out biting down on her tongue and letting the blood flow between my teeth. She yelped in surprise but didn’t move till I let go. Yet she persisted, she continued to lick blood off me and clean Momma’s scent right off. I sat there and took it, waiting for it to end. When she had finished she walked into my cage and dragged me with her and laid down. This by no means made me feels comfortable being held hostage by a dog who pretended to be my mother. I thought all night about how to escape, I watched dawn approach through a window and I watched night chase after. I never left the cage, not even to eat. I never passed a meal down when it was in the cage though. By the time I was full grown I had started planning escape routes. I never made it but I never stopped trying. I finally learned the imposters name as well, Megu. She never told me but I learned from what the humans called her, I never called her Momma. For she isn’t the one who raised me as a pup. I still hate her guts for taking me away from Momma. But back to the story, One day when I was trying to escape the two leggeds got lazy and left the door open. I never had a second thought, I just ran out as fast as I could with Megu pleading behind me to stop. She was frail with age so her joints were stiff and she couldn't keep up. Leaving the imposter behind I first went looking to clean the scent off of me, I stunk like Megu and her pets. Lucky for me it started to rain and I started to have some fun splashing in puddles. But when a giant mechanical beast came near I always hid, I watched them long enough to know that they kidnapped dogs. But a wolf like me was to smart for them. As I jumped into a rather deep puddle my black fur started to change, a blue aura surrounded me in shade of Aqua. And markings ran up my legs, onto my back to the tip of my tail. I was shocked at the change but it didn't faze me, I played for the whole day running closer to the forest I came from. I was almost there! My tongue flew out of my jaws as I started running my aura getting brighter at the thought of seeing Momma again. I never noticed that I had already crossed a rather large plain and a small dike. I only stopped when I saw a young colt laying on the ground in a bloody mess. I never knew who he was only that leaving him there was a bad idea. So I walked over to him slowly and licked his leg cautiously. He grumbled something at me but his language was foreign. As he closed his eyes I could tell he was weak and if he stayed here he would surely die. I growled trying to get his attention and bite down onto his mane pulling on it. This made him get up, he was still twice my size making me feel like I had some growing to do. I thought I had finished... Anyways, I held on tight as he stood up sitting on his back and panting. With a quick step I was up the colts neck and barley fit on his head. He mumbled something and I guessed. He started walking the direction I pointed with my paw so it worked, but the dirty colt flung his head back throwing me onto his back. Man did that hurt. We walked for a long time before I heard growling. “Momma!” I knew the growl very well. I jumped on the colts head and barked, “Momma Momma!”
“Luma?” She asked surprised sniffing me before howling with joy and licking me. I loved when Momma licked me so I let her. I told her how I saved the horse and in return it gave me a ride here. So as a token of her appreciation she slipped her chieftains necklace off her neck and over his. It matched his pelt well enough so I guess he admired it. She also put some feathers behind his ear, he nuzzled her then started to walk off. “Momma you’ll never guess what I’ve been through!” I said rolling onto my belly and batting at her long fur. “Go follow him.” She said sternly. “But Momma!” I yelped standing up and protesting. “I tried forever to get to you! I promise I don’t blame you for leaving me there!” I barked chasing after her as she walked away. “Your kind is not welcome here.” She growled baring her teeth and leaving. I stood in the shadows of the trees and felt tears come to my eyes. Momma always told me I was family, Momma always said that she loved me! So why is she leaving me now? I shook the tears off and chased after the colt not wanting to see her face again. I grabbed his tail and pulled on it telling the stupid colt I was there. He turned and smiled at me and I felt my heart start to pound against my chest. I barked and wagged my tail following after him grateful that he let me. As I was in my state of happiness I managed to trip on a rock, but before I hit the ground he grabbed me by the scruff and set me on his back swiftly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
We spent our lives together, we mostly lived in a cave that had a small pool in it. While he liked to stay dry I loved to sleep in the water so my aura shined out showing him how pretty I was. I learned his language swiftly but he was slow to learn mine. But as we were exploring new lands I smelt new horses and I didn’t want them to take Kahi away from me. I growled and pinned my ears hoping he would get the hint but sadly like most men no matter the species he didn’t get it. Though he asked me what the matter was I bluffed and said something big and scary was out there. Honestly I was hoping he was a coward at this point but apparently he wasn’t. My luck was not good that day. I tried to act scared but as he nuzzled me I had to go along, his charming smile was like a slap in the face but I still loved it. I jumped on his back and put my paws on the side of his neck and laid down burying my nose into his mane and closed my eyes, his scent was the best thing in the world. As we walked towards the herd of horses I looked at all the amazing colors they sported on their shining coats. One with sparks flying off of it came up to meet us. But as they talked I found another scent in the air. I tried to get Kahi’s attention but it was to late. A quite large wolf pack was behind us. But the only thing I was scared of was that these were no ordinary wolves these were my siblings. They all recognized me but one of them didn’t seem to care and kept shouting orders at them to kill us all. I barked at them but it was as if my calls were foreign, damn I must have learned to much of the horses language. But I soon saw that their minds were hazy because they were all sick. But before I knew it Kahi was running full speed behind the rest of the horses catching me off guard. I lost much of my grip as he jumped over things and soon enough I was pretty much falling off. He yelled at me to hold on but I just couldn’t. I could feel him slow down but if he did we were both dead. “No! Keep going! We are both dead if you slow down!” I shouted quite angry he would do that, yet I was touched that he loved me so much. As I put every ounce of my strength to holding on I knew I was about to fall. “I love you, now go!” I barked finally losing my grip. I rolled on the ground slowly coming to a stop in a dusty patch and watched all the horses jump over me. One just barely got me in the head and it hurt like someone had thrown a stone at me. Not soon after as I watched Kahi to weak to get up I felt something tugging at my fur. They started to rip it off my skin, but the pain didn’t hurt as much as it did to see Kahi running away without me. When Kahi was out of sight my fur and skin was tainted with my own blood and I was awaiting death. But Momma came out of nowhere and grabbed me. Her stature much larger than theirs and mine. She hauled me away from them leaving them confused as to what happened. “Momma! You came back!” I shouted happily even though I was in pain. Sadly she said nothing to me till we got to my old den. She set me in the water and laid down panting heavily as she looked me over sadly. I watched my blood drip into the water for a small bit before my wounds started to clean themselves, my aura was very weak almost gone and my markings were red with blood. At this point the pain of regeneration was too much and I passed out. According to Momma I was asleep for days and when I woke up she still wouldn’t talk to me. I tried desperately to get her attention but she wouldn’t’ have it. So finally I shut down. I didn’t care what happened to me nor how much pain it caused. My only joy was seeing her smile when we came home with food. Lucky for me is the traumatic experience from weeks before never hurt badly enough that my pups were hurt. Almost a full year later my pups were born and that’s when my mother started talking to me again. My pups had tails like their father and ears like me. They looked a little odd but I loved them so much. Now all I have to do is find my mate and we can live happily. But this won’t be easily done...
