(Hollow Song, Twisted Crown, Lightning Claw) "There's a storm coming," Hollow Song noted, looking out from the painted cave. Twisted Crown stood next to her, face turned to the wind. "Do you think the pack will be safe?" Twisted Crown asked, a hint of worry in her voice. She glanced up at the tower of rock above the camp. It had survived other storms, and she hoped this wouldn't be the storm to take it down. "I don't know," the singer said. She turned into the cave, and Twisted Crown followed. Hollow Song pulled a pile of rocks off one of the shelves of the cave. The rocks were marked with strange runes. Hollow pushed them with her paws, closing her eyes. Twisted Crown watched as the singer pushed rocks around, tracing the runes with her paws. Finally, she opened her eyes, which were wide and full of confusion. "What is it?" Twisted Crown asked. Hollow Song shook her head. "I don't know. They aren't speaking to me," she said. The wind picked up, and the sky outside darkened. A bolt of lightning split the sky, and the young singer flinched. "Get to the tower caves," Twisted Crown said, nudging Hollow Song out of the cave. She struggled against the wind, and pushed her way to the caves. When Twisted Crown got inside, she saw the rest of her pack, hiding against the walls of the cave. "Where is my daughter!" Jade Eyes shouted, jumping up. She was worried and every inch of her body was tense with fear. "Where is my child!" Twisted Crown looked back outside, thinking for a moment. She pushed her way toward the door, and looked around, digging her claws into the ground to brace herself. "Lightning!" she barked. The wind howled, nearly drowning out her voice. "Lightning!" she shouted louder. A flash of lightning illuminated a figure on a rock, and Twisted Crown pushed through the wind to reach it. Lightning Claw sat on the rock, looking at the sky. She seemed unfazed by the thunder and rain. "Lightning!" Twisted Crown shouted, and the wolf looked over. She nodded in respect, as if she was greeting Twisted Crown on a normal day. "What are you doing out here? Your mother is worried half to death about you!" Twisted Crown scolded. "I'm watching the clouds," Lightning Claw said, turning back to the storm. "Come back inside," Twisted Crown said, nudging the adolescent down from the rock and toward the tower. When they returned, Jade Eyes ran over to her daughter, checking her to make sure she was ok. Lightning shook herself, scattering water droplets through the entrance tunnel, and grinned at her mom. Jade Eyes scolded her daughter, gently pulling her to the back of the cave. Twisted Crown walked back to Hollow Song, who looked at Lightning with a blank stare. Twisted nudged her, snapping her out of her trance. "She's the one," Hollow Song said. Twisted Crown looked at her with a confused look, and Hollow Song elaborated. "She was chosen by the spirits. The signs say that she has power within her. She is destined to be the queen." Twisted Crown looked at Lightning Claw, who was wrestling with her sister. "Do you think she'll be able to handle it?" she asked. "She's stronger than you think," the singer replied. |

(All wolves in the pack dynasty) As you sit in the cave, you see a flicker of light at the edge of your vision. Six wolves come into view, all glowing with a ghostly light. The oldest, who's painting is a faded mark on the back wall of the cave, steps forward. "My name is White Heart. I was the first queen of the pack, before the pack became what it was today." The second, a large she-wolf with bright blue eyes, stepped forward. "My name is Twisted Crown. I made the pack what it is now. I took in many wolves who had been abandoned as I once had. Unfortunately, partway though my reign, the pack was devastated by a fierce illness. It took many lives, including my daughter, Crow Heart." At the mention of her name, Crown Heart stood up. She looked young, and her eyes had a green glow. "I was the first Singer of the pack, and I found the spirits that led us to the headwaters of the great river. I didn't have many friends in the pack, but the spirits helped a lot." Two blue wolves appeared next. The older of the two introduced himself as Sky Dancer. "I was the first healer of the pack, back when White Heart was leader. My time was peaceful, and my pack stayed healthy during my time." The second was younger, and had a sad look in her eyes, that were focused on a point in the distance. "My name is Blue Light. While I was healer, the pack was struck by an illness. I tried to save as many as I could, but I was too late to save most. Eventually, I fell sick and died shortly after Crow Heart did. I wish I could go back and redo my mistakes." The next one was a strange dark wolf with a blue color to her fur. "My name is Dark Heart. I didn't have much to offer to my pack when I was alive. I lived through the illness, but barely. The pack wasn't the same after that. I tried to keep the balance between the spirits and wolves, but I wasn't gifted like Crow Heart or Hollow Song." |
