A young pup found with Lillemor suffered a traumatic past. The scars were enough to convince those he's been through a lot. Autumn was an unusual pup. His back red with a gleaming red-orange streak like he always had the sunset shining on him, while his legs were shades of grey that ended in white paws. Grey-ish brown patches of fur covered the rest of his body, and his white eye seemed to glow especially at night.

When he was picked up by the Galactic Ones, the alpha and herbalist saw something in him. Potential. Despite having one eye, his training proved that he could become a great hunter. When Autumn Harvest was of age, there wasn't any room for him any of the current hunting parties however. Autumn wasn't disappointed, as he'd rather spend time with his closest friend in the pack, Soren. Something strange was noted about Autumn when he became a year old. A small, yellow moon appeared to orbit around his head. He claimed he could see using the moon when he had his eye closed, and it acted as a second eye to replace the one he had lost. Though he couldn't see colors through the moon, he was still happy to have it.

Even stranger, Soren is able to see with the moon as well when he is near Autumn. That is after they touch noses then he has his vision temporarily improved. The pack found this pretty odd, but Autumn and Soren were treated with upmost respect in the pack. Even when they were pups.

4. You may keep him for up to 5 rollovers
5. Always send him off with his buddy, Soren (If you don't have enough space for the both of them, I will take them back or you can pass them on early)
6. You may add decor but DO NOT REMOVE ANY!
7. Please return him and Soren when Autumn and Soren are 6 & 5 years to #26993

--------------Autumn Harvest Moon's Journey---------------

Pack name/ID: Deep Roots (#3641)
Role(s) given: Hunter
Date received/left: 21-11-22
Decor added: Background Rocks [Gray]
Lore: When he and Soren first spied Akamu, it was Autumn who stepped anxiously forward. Soren was younger, after all, nor as healthy as Autumn. Albinism is a strange thing, making for sensitive skin and translucent fur. It quickly became clear that the Deep Roots pack meant them no harm, however. Asayu, one of the pack's youngest and most promising she-wolves, was the first to break the ice. She guided both newcomers to the dens made for travelers, explaining both would be safe and protected, and if they needed aid, her pack would be able to provide. This she told them with her head held high, chin lifted. Proud.

Pack name/ID: Winged Wolves
Role(s) given: None
Date received/left: 1-12-2022- -6-12-2022
Decor added: Pendant Lunar Tear
Lore: Once again, it was Autumn who stepped forward towards an old, white wolf laying and soaking up the sun. He seemed to be asleep, but squinted one eye open. Asking for permission to stay in the den ended well, and they were waved off dismissively yet friendly (''Yes, yes, sure, now let an old man nap, will you?'' *Yawwwwn*) as long as they would keep the peace. And so, they went around to all the wolves, exploring the various dens and caves.
Autumn was... interesting, to say at the least, to the pack. The human (Yes, HUMAN!! She was quite friendly actually.) of the pack was especially interested in his sunset-ish fur. Apparantely, she loved going up to the cliff of the lake and watching the sunset from there on, greeting the night. She did the same with sunrise often, too. So Autumn, with his fur, was the one to join her side whilst she did that. It was very peaceful. He was not given roles, but the human, who somehow spoke wolf tongue, was immensely interested in him, so they just stuck together and had very interesting conversations. This meant that Autumn did not get a role in the pack, but he didn't mind. This human was very interesting, and not scary like other humans. She had an... effect on wolves. Plus, it was fun and quite funny too watching Soren trying to learn how to fish. He was chaotic and clumsy, absent minded, but hey, he was having fun and pulled in quite a bit of fish every day. When they left, they got all that fish as food for their travels. Winged Wolves loved to fish, they just didn't like Delicate Meat, despite seeing it as the most luxurious meat ever. So it was given to guests like them.
Autumn will forever remember sitting, laying, standing and being on the cliff, or wandering around with a human of all things by his side. She was friendly, and both of them felt like they learned a lot from each other, and had formed a new friendship. So the human was quite sad to see him go, giving him a big hug and wiping away tears. Emotionally, she offered him a gift that she thought would mean a lot to him, something to remember her by, and Autumn would wear it with fondness. It was a tear from the moon itself, a drop of moon, magic, that fell and cyrstalized. A pendant of the moon itself; and the human claimed it had some magic. Not a lot, not devastatingly strong, but still. And it could be recharged by soaking up moonlight; which meant that he could charge it all day long! Besides, maybe it would do something to the moon. Who knows. Even if it did nothing, she thought it would fit well with the moon; moon magic, a drop of moon, and she gently put it on him before hugging him one last time.

Decor added: Cliff Swallowtail
Lore:
Entering the quiet forest, Autumn and Soran hadn't expected much. It was peaceful here, but at the same time almost eerily quiet. However, the two decided to continue their journey, possibility against better judgement. They soon came upon a stunning lake with a small island in the center. The tree that stood tall on that island was not like anything around with it's long branches that delicately drooped down almost touching the around.

"Who are you?! Why are you here?1" A sharp called around suddenly. A she-wolf with oddest appearance stood behind them. Her coat of browns and greens were covered in strange blue markings painted on her fur, a long earring danged from one ear, and a cloak made from furs and feather wrapped around her back was so blue it looked like they glowed. "I'll ask again, why are you here? This is the Blessed Lake, sacred lands...." The she-wolf trailed off as she stared at Soren.

More wolves came up behind her, the one with most authority seemed to the male with a black bear fur cloak. "You" She started looking at Autumn with a dismissive tone. "go speak with Pack Leader Elex. Make arrangements to rest in the Traveler's Hallow for a time being. You" She looked back Soren with much fastination and awe "Stay for a moment."

Not knowing what was happening, Autumn decided it was best to meet this Pack Leader. Giving his companion one last look, Autumn walked to the group just a few steps away.

"Welcome to the Lost Hills Pack. I'm Pack Leader Elex. If you like, we can make arrangements for you rest here for a while." Elex greeted with a deep bow of his head. This was going to be an interesting stay.
(End of pt. 1, see Soren for rest)
------------------------------
The Turning.
Autumn and Soren returned to their home pack, taking a break from their travels. One particularly windy night in the winter, Autumn Harvest heard a voice call to him. He looked down at Soren, the albino wolf sleeping next to him. Autumn sighed, looking out the burrow they were resting in. His ears perked as he heard the voices again. His curiosity took over, and he silently bid Soren farewell before he left to go follow the voice. Autumn wasn't sure if Soren heard him or not, but the voice was just too alluring, he couldn't bother to go back and make sure. Wandering into the night, Autumn has been aimlessly traveling between packs since then.
(You may continue adding to his lore however you'd like, I just added this for fun^^)

Pack name/ID: Lone Warrior Pack, #51514
Role(s) given: None
Date received/left: 12/20/22 - 12/27/22
Decor added: Owl Feather and Ebony Jewelwing
Lore: Autumn trotted restlessly through the woods, following the voice that he was sure he had heard. Every now and again, the voice would call to him, sounding fainter and fainter than before... Sometimes he wondered if he was imagining it. But every night, the voice grew stronger, calling him farther and farther away from his home and his friend.

He darted from tree trunk to tree trunk, not sure where the voice was leading him. He caught a glimpse of a shadowy figure peering out from behind a stout oak, and slunk behind a bush quickly. He couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched - or worse, stalked. He paused for a moment to inhale and tell himself that, of course there was no one watching him. Then he continued his seemingly pointless journey.

Autumn caught a glimpse of the shadowy figure again, and this time he didn't back off. He kept his eye rooted on the spot where he saw it, and was able to make out a vaguely wolf-shaped patch of darkness. The shadow wavered for a moment, then stepped into view, revealing that it was a black wolf. A second wolf, brown with some white splotches, slipped out of the brush behind Autumn. Surprised, he spun around to face her. She looked at him for a long moment before asking, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Autumn took a step back, caught off guard by the wolf's sudden appearance. "I'm just a traveler," he explained. "I'm only passing through, though I'd be grateful if you let me stay a few nights with your pack."

The brown wolf glanced at the black wolf, who nodded. The brown wolf flicked her tail. "You may stay, for a short while." She looked at the moon orbiting his head for a long moment, before her gaze dropped to the pendant around his neck. Autumn noticed that a nearly identical one was tied around her neck, only slightly lighter in color and more angular in shape. She blinked, then said "Follow me." With that, she disappeared into the brush.

Autumn stayed with the pack for the next few days. The she-wolf, who was the leader, explained to him that his pendant, was, indeed, magical. "It has special guiding properties," she explained. "Nothing terribly powerful, but it will ensure that you never get lost or lethally injured throughout your travels."

After Autumn had stayed with the pack for five days, he thanked them for their hospitality and moved on to whichever place the voice would lead him next.

The Return
After some more months of traveling, Autumn was led back home. His buddy, Soren, was already there. He returned a few days before him. His albino buddy barked and snarled in his ear for a good 5 minutes, saying lots of awful things to him. "You left me for 2 years! What is WRONG with you?!" Soren howled in fury. Autumn tried to calm him down and apologize, but Soren wasn't having it. For the rest of the day, Soren ignored Autumn. He felt guilty for what he did, and other members of the pack showed distrust towards him. Especially the younger wolves he's never met before. Feeling like he did enough damage, Autumn got ready to leave at dusk.

It was getting dark. The sun was setting as Autumn Harvest stopped just short of the pack's territory borders. "Autumn.." A familiar voice called out from behind. He turned around only to be immediately tackled into a hug. Soren clung to his chest, crying his eyes out. "I thought you were dead out there! Do you know how HARD it was to track your scent?!" The pale wolf sobbed in anger and sadness. "Soren.." Autumn gave him a lick on the forehead. Soren looked up, tears still rolling down his cheeks. "Please don't leave me again.." His pink eyes gazed into Autumn's single white eye. "I guess I'll stay here until the day I die." Autumn chuckled, giving Soren a reassuring smile. His albino friend couldn't help but cry some more. Autumn cried with him, letting out all his guilt and frustration over what he did on that stormy winter night. The two spent the night under the stars, sharing their stories about their travels after the split.
