Soulkeepers Pack

PACK LORE

Quite long, have a drink . . .

"What's the problem, little one?" His mother would ask. Bounce lifted his head, which was no bigger than his mother's paw, "They're all playing so roughly and I want to join!" He'd whine, resulting in a laugh from the she-wolf, yet she licked his forehead, comforting him. "You're different," She started, "Your brothers and sisters are like a river; strong and unyielding. You're like the light breeze the leaves and spirits dance with." Bounce laid his head in between his paws, a sign of his confusion. Bounce's mother caught on to it, speaking softly. "Your speed, your cleverness–that is your strength."

Bounce's bright blue eyes watched his siblings wrestle and growl with each other; all of his siblings were worthy shades of gray, perfectly blending into the shadows of the forest. On the other hand, Bounce was black and brown; he felt like a puzzle that never belonged.

Days turned into weeks, the hunts grew fiercer, more difficult–his mother grew weaker, her eyes glazing over as the stress began to kill her slowly. The pack itself was suffering, the prey had run off, and the winter was approaching like a silent predator; a thief in the night…

One night, the pack returned, empty-handed and starving. Desolate and grieving howls echoed through the forest—a howl that indicated the loss of a pack member. Bounce shot up, looking around for his mother, fear blossoming inside his throat as he whined and shook. The pack's survival was in question, his siblings huddled around their father.

Bounce's world changed, his brothers and sisters dropped; one by one. Six pups: gone in three days. He had to step up, the whispers of his siblings invaded his head; he needed to become the wolf that ensured the pack's survival… With or without the alpha helping. Bounce spent weeks gaining his strength; he was strong, but he knew he shouldn't give up.

One day, he set out early, his nose to the ground, hunting down a rabbit. The spirits of most of his pack followed, their transparent and wind-like bodies seemed to appear randomly. As the sun reached its peak, a rustling of leaves in the distance caught Bounce's attention and he bolted after it, his paws softly thumping against the dirt, and his legs moving with a swiftness that didn't fit with his packmates. In a quick leap, he brought the rabbit down; the cries from the animal for mercy were lost in the wind.
