Tamashī (魂) means soul. She is not dead. Sometimes she looks like it but she is not. She cosistently corrects wolves who stare. She is purely made up of energy. Her normal body couldn't take it. So, she stole a creepy body of another wolf. In the process she was blinded.
Tamashī looked at her mother sadly. "But mommy, why has daddy not returned?" She said fearful of the awnser.
"Your father... he...uh...he went on a journy and will not return soon." Her mother awnsered seeming to hide something. She nudged Tamashī with her muzzle. "Keep your light low. The tribe of the forest will shurly be searching our home." Tamashī dampened her light as her mom had taught her before. She was to sad to dampen it completely. Tamashī and her mother were laying inbetween the two roots that Tamashī's father had dug out they're home inbetween.
"Over there. I saw something move." A voice snarled.
"Yes I can see a faint glow coming from the roots wich must mean the Hōrō tribe is hideing here" Another, more feminen voice said.
"Cool your light!"Tamashī's mother hissed.
"I-I can't!" Tamashī whispered angerly back.
"You must!" Her mother snarled.
"I can't!" Tamashī yelled
" I think I hear something." A voice said.
"Over there!" Another yelled. In a minute the leaf covering thier den was thrust off. "It's a mother with a pup!" The voice yelled. Then, to Tamashī's alarm she was picked up by some vary bad smelling teeth.
" NOOOOO!" Her mother yelled as she leaped out of hideing knocking over a member of the forest tribe snarling. The wolf carrying Tamashī dropped her. Tamashī yelped in pain as she was steped on. She could barely breath. With every breath a sharp pain shot down her ribs. She woulden't last much longer. She tried to scream out, to howl, any thing but all that came out was a hiss.
Something caught Tamashī's eye. The Forest tribe was gathered around a large figure. Then, suddenly a beautiful song filled the air. The voice of the singer was sweet as honey. Tamashī looked up at the sky to see a beautiful wolf's energy silhuette danceing and frolicking with a male in the air above them.
"She's dead." A voice said. Tamashī tried to call out for her mother. All that came out was a high pitched scweel. The world around her was blurry. She tried to call out again and agian untill she couldn't call out any more. Then she felt a sharp slit of pain come over her body. She rolled onto her side. She flet like she was going to puke. She coughed. Makeing another screach and coughing up blood. Her world faded. It conined to fade untill she could no longer hear even the drone of speech.
When Tamashī awoke she was looking at her own blue body, chest crushed and permenently stuck in a chough by her blood.Tamashī Howled a beautiful adult wolf's howl. It was joined in with singing that seemed to come from everywhere. She limped down to the stream through the trees of the forest to take a drink. She didn't know that she was not dead untill she saw her reflection. She yelped in terror. She looked like her mother. She fainted by the water side. When she awoke everything was black. untill she yelped. then it seemed as if it were not her eyes shew was looking through. She saw everywhere. She could see from any where on her bady that glew. She then noticed a bonceing against her legs. Oh yeah my mom's nekless she thought.
