Lore :D (still working on)

In the green and wide grasslands, where the grass is everywhere and a pack thrives, a brown and black female with amber eyes and a grey male with spots on his flank with purple eyes that radiates authority and menace, a small tawny-brown female with blue eyes huddled next to her mother, Acornfur, her eyes wide with fear and terror at the sight of their controlling and cruel leader, Viperstar and the small female, currently named Flamekit, because of her defiant nature, whimpers to Acornfur, "When will this nightmare be over"?. Acornfur replies, feeling as nervous and scared as her precious kit - a prophecy said by the wise elders that this wolf will change everything - but not showing it outright: "It's alright, we will survive.". At that moment, Viperstar stalked to the middle of the camp - as he called it - and called out to his pack of wolves: "Listen, pack! This is very important news for us!" Flamekit's eyes widened and Acornfur pressed her side to her kit in reassurance but even she knew that... that... this was the day. The day when Viperstar would either kill or exile wolves that disagreed with him or were half-blood. Flamekit's father was from a different pack and she never saw him. And now, all those who were half-blood or who disagreed with him would either get killed or exiled. Viperstar continued speaking: "And so, you know those who are half-blood or disobeyed me? They will either suffer my wrath or get exiled from this pack. Flamekit, Acornfur, Shadowfang (a black female with yellow eyes) and Iceclaw (a mottled male with white paws and underbelly), you will now leave this pack forever. I do not tolerate half-bloods here." Flamekit knew it. Her suspicions and fears were confirmed. Slowly, the wolves that were called out by Viperstar stepped forward, ears lowered in anger and fur bristling with fear came out and Shadowfang glared at her leader and snarled: "Alright. We will leave. We will never forget this." The others in the exiled group silently praised Shadowfang's bravery and courage. The ones who are exiled turned away from their familiar home and territory and walk out of their camp and into their territory. Flamekit and Acornfur walked together, at the rear, while Shadowfang and Iceclaw walked at the front but in all of their hearts, they knew they had to work together or else, they wouldn't survive by themselves. As the exiled group trekked out of their familiar territory, into unfamiliar territory, Flamekit took a deep breath as she thought with a mixture of sorrow and anger: "Goodbye, grass. I will find somewhere else." Flamekit trudged alongside her mother and she felt small in comparison to these adult wolves. By nightfall, Flamekit's paws were aching with exhaustion and pain and she thought she glimpsed the same weary expression on Iceclaw. Iceclaw took the lead and groaned: "Let's sleep somewhere here for a while." Flamekit felt relief and exhaustion rush over her and she slept and dreamt of herself, becoming the leader of her own pack. A month has passed since the exiled group left the Pack and Flamekit is now older, stronger, and faster than when she was a pup. And she learned how to hunt..On one particularly rainy day, the exiled group traveled further to find a place to live when suddenly, the never-ending moor became a mountainside, teeming with prey and also some snow and Iceclaw muttered: "I like it here. Shall we settle here?" Flamekit, who is now Flameheart, nodded and replied, surveyed the landscape with her blue eyes: "Yeah. Sure. I like it here." Suddenly, a scent drifted to Flameheart's nose that was familiar but unfamiliar at the same time - Wolves! - She yowled to the group to let them know and the exiled group looked wary and distrustful, particularly because of their past trauma from their former pack. The wolves stepped out as Shadowfang, now older but not too old growled: "Come out! We know you are there!". There were five wolves here and fear overwhelmed Flameheart - mainly because she was a kit when the tramua-thing happened. Acornfur, now also older but with a scar on her muzzle, whispered to her: "It's ok. Don't worry. These wolves shouldn't be like Viperstar." Acornfur instantly regretted that as she saw the hostile expressions on the wolves' faces. One of the wolves, a grey wolf with splashes of black on his muzzle, orange on his back, and with yellow eyes stepped forward and growled to the strangers: "What are you doing here?". Shadowfang and Flameheart stepped forward, braver than the rest of the exiled group and they lifted their heads defiantly and growled back: "We got exiled from our home. So we need a new one. Who are you?" The weird-looking wolf with grey fur growled back: "My name is Strikestone. And why were you exiled?"
