Velsignelse

Once upon a time, an unknown and terrible disease broke out in the pack, now known as the Abode of Shadows. This disease did not spare either the elderly or the little cubs, coughed up the hardy scouts and the tireless hunters of the pack. No one knew how to deal with this scourge. Most of the pack was sick, and the leader could only pray to the Star Ancestors that this infection did not take anyone to heaven.

But on one of these difficult days, a brown wolf appeared near the caves. She was no longer young and had a severe limp on her left hind leg.

There was no one to deal with border violators — all the defenders were ill. But the leader of the pack, Night Sky, decided to deal with the uninvited guest himself. 

The brown wolf cleared her throat and said her name — Basilea. She said that she had once met this disease and could help cure it. The pack leader snorted in disbelief, but after looking at the wolf and making sure that she could not lie to get into the weakened pack and attack, he allowed her to help. 

"Near your caves, I saw herbs that can ease the course of the disease while I prepare the medicine," she said.

Night Sky only nodded, but in his heart he was grateful to the Star Ancestors that they had mercy on his pack and family. 

After collecting healthy wolves, Night Sky sent them to search for herbs along the route indicated by Basilea. The healer herself began to prepare the medicine and refused to help in collecting herbs for him, since all the necessary ingredients grew in a clearing between the caves. 

Soon, all the members of the pack were cured by the skillful paws of the wolf, and she herself joined the pack and was sincerely glad that she would spend the rest of her days where she was needed. Now her name was Velsignelse (Blessing).

A year later, the old wolf had a student-a smart kid with fox eyes. She immediately realized that this particular puppy would selflessly help the members of the pack and could become a good herbalist. 

But the years did not spare her, and just a couple of months later the wolf became very ill. The weakened body did not perceive the drugs and.. Velsignelse quickly went to the Stellar Ancestors. 

The pack has long mourned the loss, and now this fabulously kind wolf will be in the hearts of everyone who knew her.
