Coven of Stars

prologue...

You awaken to find yourself nestled amongst the soft buffalo grass of a prarie, when moments before you had just settled down for a nap in your dark den. A midnight breeze settles upon your face and stardust gathers on your fur whilst the moon bathes you in an inky blue. Looking skyward, the twinkling of stars and the whispers of far away galaxies grace your ears from above. Comets race between the craggy cliffs that dot the horizon and stretch up to graze the never-ending sky.

"Welcome traveler," a voice echoes. Before you from the delicate grass a stranger approaches. The wolf is quite large and burly, but a gentleness in his eyes and the gray on his muzzle speaks of a gentle soul; caution turns to curiosity. Brilliant stardust speckles his otherwise shadowy fur, but unlike yours it seems to be apart of him rather than a generous varnish.

His tail sways behind him as he addresses you, "My name is Sirius, and it is a name I have carried for many generations." You follow his gaze as he looks over the prairie, "This is my home and where my family have raised their pups for eons. It is a reality only accessible between that of the dormant and the waking world." Golden eyes settle upon you once more.

"You are welcome as long as you know where to find us. Our prey is abundant and our territory endless."
