WhispStar

Story of Wispstar, first leader of the Howling Ghost Pack

SpiritKit started his life in what was known as NightPack. Even as a pup, he was very anrrogant, ambitious and brave. By the time he was weaned, he had snuck out of the den. His bravery had caused the mothers lots of trouble containing him.

As he achieved apprenticeship, becoming WispPaw, he caused more trouble for his mentor, always getting into unnecessary and hard fights with badgers, foxs, loners, and more. His skills were looked upon as strengths sent by the spirits themselves, as reflected on his pelt that changed from a dull gray to a beautiful blue and purple pelt in a rare process that happens to few wolves. Many didn't believe it was the spirits, however. Many would say "he's a puppy, as they grow they change."

His arrogant, brave personality caused him more pain than he could ever imagine, though.

One night, as he snuck out, he decided he was going to a cougar den he had heard rumors about, about a mother cougar who had died and left 4 cubs. If he did this, he would achieve his full name, for sure!
When he came to the den, he realized far too late that both parents were alive. He tried to run, but his paw got caught and he could only watch the parents creeping up on him. He whined as loud as he can, and his calls were answered by his parents, flower and Rainwing.

However, as they chased the parents away, bleeding and barely breathing, the cubs, half of their size, came to finish off his parents. He tried to get to them, but as he freed his leg, he felt it snap and he could only watch as he writhed in pain. The cubs, coming to finish him off, got ambushed by the pack leader, saving him.

After he was taken back, in the process of morning his parents, he was unable to think clearly, as he started to calm his thoughts and though he was still arrogant and brave enough, he came to learn when and where to fight.

In the time of a moon after recovering, he was called forth and given the name, WispFur, for the pelt he wore was given by the wisps and spirits themselves. Accepting of this name, he came to be known as one of the strongest in the pack.

One den, CrowStar fell from exhaustion and didn't get up again. The beta, Bloodfang, had decided it was time to take over. He was a cruel leader who hated disobedience. He would starve the pack and leave food to rot. As the beta realized what was happening, he stood up to BloodStar. BloodStar, hating disobedience, killed him. It was then that WispStar was called forth to become the beta. Though hesitant, he realized it was his chance to save the pack.

As he continued on, he knew he couldn't beat the bulky leader. He could think of only one thing: flee with what remained of the pack. He knew of those loyal to bloodstar and refrained from going to them.
On a clear, full moon night, he left with 8 other wolves. They decided as one that he should be the leader of their pack, though happy for the trust in him, Wispfur said "let's save ourselves then decide that later."

As they traveled, they settled into the mountains. A vast, amazing place filled with more life than they could imagine. They found a place to settle down. They laughed, cheered, and even grew with the loners in the area. Pups had started to come. This happiness didn't last forever, though. NightPack, now named BloodPack, had found them.
After a rough battle, with them surrounded 30v12, Wispfur realized what he had to do… "BloodStar of BloodPack. I challenge you to a dual for the release and control of my pack."
BloodStar, Cocky and big, agreed. However, the spirits themselves were not on his side. As he clawed at Wispstar, who's barely breathing, A rockslide appeared, crushing him where he was standing. His pack, shocked, fled in terror of Wispfur, who then accepted the name WispStar.

As he grew wiser, he started to reflect on his life. One day, as he was spacing out, he came across a place where unwanted or parnetless pups go. He came across a young pup, Raiya, and became attached. Realizing the spirits were with the pup, he chose to raise him as his own, giving him the name SpiritKit. As he also changed like SpiritStar had, he started to realize how special the pup was.
As he watched The pup grow from Spiritkit into Spiritpaw, then he received the name Spiritflame, and he even watched as he rose into the position of beta. Pride filled Wispstars heart as he realized how special this pup was. "He will take my place." He thought with a smile.

Moons later, old age started to sap his bones. He knew his time was about to come. He took Spiritflame, showing him where they first arrived on the mountains. He smiled, and said "I wish to be buried here when I die" he saw the reluctance to accept his words, so he said "I know you'll lead them well, you are a strong pup."

He lay on his nest, his eyes drooping, before he fell into the longest, softest sleep ever…

He still watched over Spiritflame, now SpiritStar, strong and sleek. His pack thriving. He smiled at the now-grown pup, proud at what he and him have accomplished.
