Auraglow

Auraglow - Celestial Reaper

A traveler of the Dreamlands, Auraglow is bound to neither heaven or earth. This strange adolescent encountered Obi while the both of them were traversing the mysterious Dreamlands and instantly, the pack leader knew there was something odd about this young wolf. Auraglow, unlike the Dreamlands, had no qualms with spilling his secrets, or perhaps they were never secrets to begin with. He explained, barely taking a breath between words, that he was a celestial guide--an entity that is neither alive nor dead, yet exists in a familiar, fuzzy form. A guide for whom--Obi then asked-- apprehensive of the teenaged wolf's gaudy story. Auraglow only seemed to delight in her uncertainty, as if he'd been betting on it. A guide for the dead he then reiterated, peering up towards the sky, now blanketed in sparkling stars. The dead? Ah--the souls of those who had passed on: pups who succumbed to illness, or predation; elders that slept yet never awoke; wolves who faced untimely, painful fates. He knew their stories, their wants, their regrets, their greatest moments. Auraglow softened as he explained, a show of emotion, it seemed. Obi was bewildered yet chose to believe the adolescent-- who was she to question it considering the unearthly realm surrounding her. Eventually she was bidding him farewell but to her surprise, he followed after her, very obviously wanting something. She didn't need to ask before he was talking-- asking her if he could visit her realm-- living earth-- and exist amongst mortal wolves. The request was odd though the endearment in his voice swayed her. She agreed, so long that he intended on carrying his weight within the pack and to that, he easily, and quite excitedly, agreed. Auraglow is now a permanent pack-member of the Wolves of Acadiana, though his duties to the celestial realms remain of utmost importance.

Same old song,

Just a drop of water in an endless sea,

All we do,

Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see,

Dust in the wind,

All we are is dust in the wind...
