[GREML0RD]

Raven will be holding the contest so no posting til her post. Thanks

[Ravendarus]

From the shadows creeps a beast unlike any before. "Who dares stand before the Alpha?" a voice growls. Glowing red eyes, and bones around their neck. You gasp and start to move back in fear, but something seems off, "Who are you?" You ask quietly, "Did I stutter! I am the Alpha!" the wolf growls at you. "But… who are you?" you ask, taken by surprise, the wolf stops to think, "I am…".


This contest will be a writing contest, you can pretty it up, but the main focus is the story! I really want a built character, and every part must be written as a story, or in a story like way. For example, when you list the name, it should be the wolf explaining about the name and why it's the name it has.

Note I would love to see this as a guy wolf, but I won't shave off points if you decide to make it female because I really love a unique character! Snow helped with the concept and Neroro did an amazing job on the revamp so please give them some love for all their hard work!

End Date for now is February 1st!

Code: Select all

Finish the wolf's Story

From the shadows creeps a beast unlike any before. "Who dares stand before the Alpha?" a voice growls. Glowing red eyes,

and bones around their neck. You gasp and start to move back in fear, but something seems off, "Who are you?" You ask

quietly, "Did I stutter! I am the Alpha!" the wolf growls at you. "But… who are you?" you ask, taken by surprise, the wolf

stops to think, "I am…".

My continuation will be from the wolf's perspective.

I stayed silent for a moment. I had once known who I was, but I had forgotten, for a while the only name I had ever gone by

was Alpha. Who else should I be but the Alpha? While I thought, I remembered a name I had once heard, German for Noble

Leader.. Alrik. But this stranger had no need of my name. "I have clearly told you." I growled. "Many more times than

needed; I am Alpha!" I barked loudly taking a leap at the stranger who screamed and ran away, gone at last. I never found out

who they were to enter before me, but it gave me enough will to have a new name. I breathed in and retreated to my

comfortable shadows. "Alrik.." I repeated to myself thoughtfully. It suits me, I think I shall use it from now on.


A young lone wolf, found himself running from a group of larger wolves, they appeared to be made from fire, an awful

hissing howl coming from them as they persued the wolf. Who soon found himself trapped against a wall. The wolves made of

flame hissed and melted into molten lava, engulfing the wolf before all went back.

The vision of this image started me awake, I jumped with a yelp and looked around my dimly lit woods. "That dream.." I
breathed heavily feeling the sweat drip down my face, I shook it off. I had been unable to have a good night's sleep for as
long as I could remember. But what did it mean? I sighed again, walking away from the shadows a bit, there was no one here,
so I could safely get a drink of water and hunt some food. Alrik wasn't my name. But I did remember one thing, I am alpha- I stopped hearing a small crack of another creature stepping on a stick and retreated to safety in the shadows.
a Rabbit, a good opportunity to get food, I silently prowled to catch it and lunged forward, but as I got closer, I realized
it wasn't a rabbit, but a wolf who looked like a rabbit, I growled and he turned to face me."Oh hi!" he chirped. I was
surprised at first but didn't show it. "Who dares stand before the Alpha?" I repeated as I had with the stranger earlier.
The young adult sat down and smiled. "My name's Gehren!" he chirped. "What's your name?" his lack of fear took me by
surprise. But I quickly recovered. "Alrik. I am Alpha." I returned. The wolf who called himself Gehren stood on his hind
legs and looked behind me, then looked around. "Where's your pack, Alrik Alpha?" I blinked. and snorted, snarling a bit,
who does this wolf think he is? My stomach growled but I growled at him to cover it but somehow he noticed. "ohhh you must
be hungry!" he chirped. "there are some berries on a bush over there that taste really good" he looked a bit chubby, I
wondered if he tasted like rabbit, but before I could finish my thoughts. He ran off into the open towards town; I sighed and went
where he pointed.
Not for the berries, I needed meat... But there was no doubt I would find what I was searching for near the berry bushes, other wolves weren't the only creatures who enjoyed eating berries. But somehow, the question from the brown bunny-wolf rang clear in my mind. 'where's your pack Alrik Alpha? I closed my eyes and thought. Where was my pack, did I even have one? The closest thing to a pack I could remember was the pack of wolves made from flames in my nightmares. Although they weren't always made of flame, sometimes it was shadow, sometimes fire, sometimes just wolves made of pure light. But whatever it is.... One thing remains the same, my nightmare is always about a pack turning on me. Did my own pack do the same, or was I born a lone wolf?
I remember after it happened....after I first started having the nightmares. I woke up beside the cliffs in them, something tells me the dream is less a dream, more a memory. But I'm not one to believe in the supernatural.... or am I? I sighed and sat down. There was no such thing as wolves made from fire and shadow, they were fiction. But surely my dreams represented something from my past; I guess it's possible I'm imagining, but every time I think about it... I feel like the darkness, the evil in my dream has something to do with me and not just in being my dream. Am I...evil? I closed my eyes to think about it before walking to the water. "I must be....that has to be why, why I wear this armor made of bone... And soon. I will remember my purpose. Until then,
When from the shadows creeps a beast unlike any before, you will find me "Who dares stand before the Alpha?" I will growl

and the bones bones around my neck will clatter. You gasp and start to move back in fear, but something seems off, "Who are you?" You ask quietly, I am Alpha Alrik, I am the evil that roams these lands.

[rem sleep]

You knew this wasn't a good idea.

But as you watched the shadows circle you like piranhas, you knew there was no going back. You couldn't rewrite what'd happened, no matter how much you wanted too. It was unfortunate, really. You had your whole life ahead of you, and you'd gone and blown it all like that. The darkness that reflected in your eyes made you shudder, but there was no escape. Your desperate attempts to flee had already been thwarted time and time again. It was pointless. You couldn't fight it.

You'd chosen this fate. And there was no going back.

You watch the shadows get closer, swirling sentient waves of darkness closing in, and you take a moment to think about the time before all this happened. Before everything went wrong. You pull yourself back into the past that seems so far away now, so distant and unachievable it's almost sickening to you. You find yourself elsewhere, in more pleasant times. Happier times. Times that occurred only one week ago.

It all started out on a whim.

Something shameless and simple. You decided late last night that you were sneaking out after dark the following day. Why, you might ask? It's rather silly you don't remember, after all you were so excited to learn about your best friend's New Year's party. You were equally devastated, however, when your parents told you that you couldn't go.

Your confidence would be your own undoing.

But you didn't know that, and with a cocky grin you made your way to you room and the door creaked slowly closed behind you. Lying on your bed you planned for the night ahead. You were ecstatic to spend more time with your friend, and the thought of an exciting night of fun was more than enough to prompt your early leave. You waited until late at night and stood, heading over to the window.

You didn't hesitate when you fled.

You quickly made your way outside, opening the window and hopping out with ease. You landed neatly in the shrubbery bordering your house. You headed into the open air, away from your house and towards the promise of adventure. You realize this is a piece of cake, and that getting out to your friend's house is the only challenge left between you and an unforgettable party.

You didn't notice the breath on your neck as you made your way to the forest.

It was the shortest way there after all. You recalled with fondness the times you spent playing with your best friend in these very same woods. You were always very close, and despite growing a bit more distant once you grew older you still tried to stay in contact. It was odd for you to go see friends at their houses, but your best friend… they were something different. You didn't feel quite as awkward with them as anyone else, and sometimes you had to wonder if they felt the same way about you.

You miss those childhood days. Life was so much easier then.

But the past is in the past, and you know that regardless of how you feel about it you can't go back on what you've already done. But that's just made you who you are, hasn't it? There's no shame in the past, even if you can't go back you can still look back on those fond memories with a smile.

You keep those pleasant thoughts in your mind as you proceed.

You didn't recall the woods being this expansive however, in fact they always seemed so small to you. Maybe that's because you were always with your best friend, who knew the way much better than you did. Either way, you were on your own now. The darkness was unwelcoming as anything else and you felt unease set in between yourself and the silence around you.

It just kept getting darker.

There seemed to be no end to the woods and you could swear on your life that there was something or someone observing you. You felt a twinge of doubt and worry wash over you as you heard something snap in the distance, a twig or stick probably but... you really hated the idea it was anything else. You pursued on, if only to get out of this forest as soon as humanly possible.

You heard it.

And when you did, a jolt went through your entire body electrifying you with the sensation of pure fear. You heard the breathing just behind you and as you spun suddenly to see it you felt nausea rise in your mind and a dizzy sickening feeling set in.

He looked at you with the coldest eyes.

But you didn't see them long. It was only a moment, but you could've sworn a figure was there... looming. He'd been watching you. His unwavering red eyes were nightmarish and they lingered in your vision and haunted your mind as you fell into unconsciousness. You remember a blaring pain in the back of your head, but soon... you fell into darkness and lost all sense of the things around you.

When you woke up you felt cold.

You noticed a cave floor beneath you, and bones, broken and intact, around you. Scattered like discarded playthings they decorated the cave in a haphazard fashion. You cringed, coiling defensively into the small, unscathed corner allotted to you. You felt a blazing fear and likewise... hatred. How could you get out of here? This was obviously bigger than a party, and bigger than just a late night in the woods. This was...

You thought you saw a shadow move in the distance.

And with that sudden fear your senses sparked alive and everything became sharper, clearer. This, however, you wish you could've undone. The rustic scent of blood became much more evident to your nose and you shuddered with terror. What was this place? And more importantly... how were you going to get out...?

As if to answer your question, something entered the cave.

You could only see it for a moment, approaching from some foreign darkness and sitting before you as a hulking mass of darkness. You recognized it as a wolf, but maybe you were just being optimistic in not dubbing it a beast. The monster looked down at you and turned, motioning you to follow with a slight movement from his tail.

What choice did you have?

You followed him and he took you through many large, expansive tunnels. You found yourself in a large area, a circular room with a ring of bubbling lava around the edges of it's perimeter with small bridges of rock and land making a path to the center island. You see a large green and red beast sitting in the center of the room, a gaudy skull atop is head.

The shadow shoves you towards him.

To keep your footing you quickly right yourself and scramble towards the beast who looks down at you with piercing red eyes. They're so familiar and yet also so... foreign. You could swear you've seen them before but you can't really place them.

"Who dares stand before the Alpha?"

His voice growls. Glowing red eyes, and bones around his neck... He really does look like a monster right from the storybooks. You gasp and start to move back in fear, but something seems off.

"Who are you?"

You ask quietly, unsure of yourself. Panic begins to set in and you realize you could, quite easily, die. You just wanted to have a fun night with your distant friend. You just wanted one simple thing, and now...

"Did I stutter! I am the Alpha!"

The wolf growls at you, looking down at your pathetic, shaking form. You realize you don't stand a chance against something like this, not that you ever thought you did. You want to survive, but... how?

"But… who are you?"

You ask. It might keep him busy a moment, and honestly his explanation did little to satisfy your curiosity. Taken by surprise, the wolf stops to think.

"I am…"

He pauses, placing a paw on his chin as if he sincerely does need a moment to think. Perhaps it's been awhile since he's ever talked to another? It seems the only other life you saw on your way here were those moving shadows... Then again they seem to be under his command.

"My name is Alpha."

He declares with a foreign pride, his voice booming with an authority that compels you to believe him. However instead of awe, fear washes over you and you shudder.

"What's with those shadows?"

You ask sheepishly, gesturing to one. You can't wrap your head around it, but it seems like... they're under his control.

"I command them. They are the Omega."

He glares in the direction of the spectre and it dissipates into nothingness, vanishing into the darkness of the cave as if it were never there. Casually the Alpha steps closer to you, and you back up a step in retaliation.

"What're you doing...?"

You timidly ask, trying to hide your fear though ultimately failing. He simply cracks a grin and rolls his eyes, annoyed but potentially entertained by your dismay.

"You've come into my domain. Is it not obvious?"

He advances and you shrink into the shadows nearest the land bridge, but you find yourself trapped in this interaction. Spectral shadows border the lava pit and keep you from leaving. The heat bubbles at your back and the chilling glare of the Alpha freezes you in place.

"No...?"

You whimper meekly, having no idea what you'd signed up for. What was this Alpha going to do to you...?

"You've entered my den. Now you are one of mine."

One of mine...? Lost in thought you ponder what that could mean, but before you can reach a conclusion he lunges at you and again your vision swims in dark clouds and you loose consciousness.

You woke up here.

Filled with regret and woe, surrounded by moving shadows that deny the cheerful reality you once knew. You now know the Alpha to be a beast capable of manipulating shadows and raising the dead. He calls his minions Omegas, and you watch them march on command and do his feeble bidding every day.

You forgot how to breathe a long time ago.

You don't know how long it's been, but for some time you've been ice cold and you haven't been able to feel your heartbeat. You've been avoiding Alpha but you know that sooner or later the time will come when you can't hide anymore. The darkness has always suited you well but now more than ever you feel... safe there. Lurking.

You knew this was a bad idea.

But here you'd gone and done it, and the consequences were more than you could've ever bargained. You glance at the shadows, slowly encircling you, and you know he's sent the Omega to fetch you. You don't know what he wants, but you know that after this point...

...there will be no going back.
