☾ ᴜɴᴅᴇʀ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴛᴀʀꜱ Lore
The Storm
In the heart of a dense forest, a fierce storm raged, tearing through the trees with relentless fury. Amidst the chaos, a small wolf pup found herself separated from her mother. Her tiny frame shivered as she struggled against the howling winds, her cries for help drowned out by the storm's roar. "Where are you, Mama?" She whimpered, her voice barely audible.
The storm eventually subsided, leaving the forest in a haunting silence. The pup, exhausted and alone, curled up under a fallen tree, her eyes heavy with sleep. As she drifted off, she was unaware that her cries had been heard by an old, wise wolf (Former Lead of Little Hills).
The Leader
The next morning, the pup awoke to the gentle nudge of a gray flaked muzzle. "Easy now, little one," the old wolf murmured. "You're safe with me." The pup looked up, her eyes wide with fear and curiosity. "Who are you?" She asked. The elder wolf smiled, her eyes filled with a lifetime of stories. "I am Flout, the alpha, and leader, of Little Hills pack..."
Flout took the pup under her wing, teaching her the ways of the forest. "Patience, young one," she would often say. "A true leader observes and understands before taking action." The pup, who Flout named Wren, absorbed these lessons, growing stronger and wiser with each passing day.
Growing Strong
Years passed, and Wren transformed from a helpless pup into a powerful young wolf. She trained tirelessly under Flout's watchful eye, learning to hunt, navigate the forest, and understand the delicate balance of nature. "Remember, Wren," Flout would say, "strength is not just in your muscles but in your mind and heart."
Wren's respect for Flout grew with each lesson. "Someday, you will take my role of pack alpha." Flout once mentioned. Wren's gaze sparked with excitement and pride. "I won't let you down when I do!" Hope clouded Flout's gaze as a small smile formed her muzzle.
The Challenge
One day, while Wren and Flout were patrolling the forest, they encountered a group of wolves from a nearby pack. Their leader, a brash and aggressive wolf named Dunes, challenged Wren. "Who are you to roam these lands?" Dunes snarled. Wren stood tall, her voice calm but firm. "I am Wren, and I seek no quarrel. We are merely passing through."
Dunes lunged, but Wren, with the agility and strength she had honed, deftly avoided the attack. "Enough!" Flout barked, stepping between them. "This is not the way." Dunes hesitated, recognizing the authority in Flout's voice. "Very well," he growled, backing down. "But don't cross these lands again."
The Rise
News of Wren's encounter with Dunes spread through the forest, reaching the ears of the Little Hills pack members. They knew of their alphas age, knowing a new lead was needed soon. The pack members became hopeful of Wren taking Flout's place, gossip and whispers passing through the pack. It soon reached the ears of Flout, who realized that her retirement was long due.
Flout pulled Wren to the side, addressing to Wren about her retirement. Wren nodded, knowing that the lead duties were now passed onto her. She accepted gratefully, promising to leap with patience and wisdom, as she was taught.
Leadership
Wren eventual took on the name as ☾ ᴜɴᴅᴇʀ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴛᴀʀꜱ, which was given to her by a sick pup that later deceased. Under ☾ ᴜɴᴅᴇʀ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴛᴀʀꜱ's leadership, Little Hills pack thrived. She maintained a delicate balance, ensuring peace with neighboring packs and teaching her own the values of patience and understanding. "We are strong because we are united," she often told them. Her quiet authority and unwavering neutrality earned her respect and loyalty.
One evening, as the pack gathered under the full moon, Flout approached ☾ ᴜɴᴅᴇʀ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴛᴀʀꜱ. "You have done well, my daughter," she said softly. ☾ ᴜɴᴅᴇʀ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴛᴀʀꜱ bowed her head in gratitude. "I could not have done it without you, Flout." The old wolf smiled, her eyes reflecting the moonlight. "You were always destined for greatness, ☾ ᴜɴᴅᴇʀ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴛᴀʀꜱ. I merely showed you the path."
