"Why did my wolf from you come with a feather?"
Usually when a wolf of importance or sentimental value leaves via trade, they take a feather with them. The leader hand picks the feather from his or hers stash and gives it to the wolf personally to show that they are indeed upset they're leaving but wish them well. The idea is this feather will allow the leaving wolf to use their new wings of freedom to soar to new heights, better opportunities, and a wealthy future.
⊰ We knew the risks. The journey to and through The Ridge is dangerous, more so in this storm, and even worse with puppies. Rhyolite begged to return to the river we passed, but I knew we couldn't. This monsoon was rumored to be the worst storm our region has seen in many moons..
The Ridge is a mountainous rise that stretches for eternity. One side buffers the Great Plateau, the other hides the Coastal Plain. Between the two set miles of deep valley, winding rivers, sheer cliff.. Wonderful terrain for traveling in the rain. We had no choice though, rival packs against two lone wolves and their pups. The odds weren't that great.
My ancestors came from The Ridge, more specifically the Northern Pass, but had migrated south towards Mist Valley as time went on. Rhyolite suggested we head for the coast instead of the mountains, I suggested we head for my home lands, yet neither of us wanted to leave anyhow. Precious time was wasted and the pups were born, leaving us even more vulnerable to the packs. We left two days after, just before the storm passed the mountains and tore down on us..
↠ How did you manage? That storm wiped out several territories..
⊰ Ember.
↠ Ember?
⊰ Ember. The storm rolled in earlier than what the crows said, hitting just as dusk fell. Ice rained from the skies, the pups were thankfully small enough to be covered but Rhyolite suffered trying to shield the three of us. She-
⍚ Followed the scent of worn out parents and lost hope.
⊰ You could put it that way, yes.. She found us in the middle of it all. Of course, being wary of unwelcoming pack members, Rhyolite tried to fight her off.
⍚ He was barely a scrap at that point, all bark no punch. I almost felt sorry for him.. It wasn't until I realized Asimí was guarding pups that he wasn't a rogue looking to boost his ego. After scrabbling around for awhile, he gave up and sat beside Asimí, beat but still trying to put himself between me and her.. I believe it dawned on the three of us that no one was going to survive alone if the storm howled on. Asimí had gotten up to face me, explaining the situation since her battered companion couldn't. We agreed on a truce and allowed them to stay in the cavern with me. It was plenty big enough for us, sheltered between two boulders that were scarred by the claws of ancient dire..
⊰ The storm had died off days later but we remained. Ember suggested we talk while Rhyolite occupied the pups and from there a new friendship began. Others soon showed up, some thinking they can break our defenses, others looking for refuge. Ember noted the humans often speaking about an old stone formation built by ancient creatures, they forged rock into hard covers for protection with the fire that burned inside. We decided our little ramshackle pack needed a name, we chose Knoxforge partially because of the ruins. Forged from the hillside flames, legends rose from it's ashes and began a new era..
⟢ You're forgetting someone important, someone who saved your pelt, multiple times. In the same week. Actually multiple pelts in the same-
⊰ And the great o'mighty herbalist, Onyx, who so graciously cured us from our illness and wounds. Where would we be without her magnificent and glorious self? We owe her all the thanks, then some.
⟢ .. I don't think I like your tone.

Torn by the floods of anguish
they remained
Forged from the hillside flames
they remained
Legends born from ash and ember
amidst the ice and bitter cold
We will remain.
