Night Walker Clan

Pack Lore

Lightning lit up the forest, sparkling off sheets of rain pouring from the sky. Thunder crashed a few moments later. You lifted your muzzle, wet with the rain, sniffing the air. The water from the clouds muddled every scent. You shook your pelt, rain scattering everywhere. It did little but make you colder. Shivering, you tried to squint through the pine trees to see the moon. Where were you? Where were you going?

The mountains, majestic and clawing at the sky, came into view. That helped the moon wink to sight, behind those great peaks. You spotted a darker spot against the rock. Hoping that was a cave, you trotted to it. Suddenly, a brown-and-beige shape barreled into you, eyes the color of ice. She smelled of flint and swans. And of the mountains.

"Who are you!?" she barked suddenly, making you jump. You bared your teeth, but the wolf placed a paw on your throat. Growling under your breath, you answered. The wolf snorted slightly. "Get up, Alpha." She sneered slightly at the mention of your rank. Your hackles rise, but you consented, getting up to your paws. He looked young, younger than you were, anyways. "Come with me. Keep up. And don't try to run."

Her brown fur shined with droplets of water as she loped off. Shaking your head, you ran after her.

The rain got harder as the wolf led you threw the trees expertly. She was muttering to herself, but you couldn't anything but a few words. Including one, that made your hackles rise again. King. This wolf—you still hadn't gotten her name—was part of a pack.

The rain got colder, feeling like ice against your back, pine needles slick under your paws. You were close to the mountains, and now you could hear the pack slightly over the rain.

The wolf dropped her head back, letting out a loud, keening howl. You heard it echoed multiple times.

"Sit. Stay here," she barked at you. You flicked your ears to look for a dryer spot, then sat down as instructed. You wait. And wait. Then a wolf, followed by another wolf—an Herbalist by scent—walked into view. The former was black and brown, and he had the air of an Alpha. Or...a King.

"Why hello there...what brings you to my little corner of the world?"
