Crystal

She always expressed her feelings strangely. She loved those she disliked and felt a distance from those closest to her.

Since she was a child, she was told she was beautiful. So when she entered the valley called the trading center she knew she would quickly leave it with a new pack. And so she did. Together with her brother, Sapphire, she was told that she and Scout would be going to a new pack.
Along the way she talked a lot with Scout. He was cool towards her, however, it did not bother her. She liked the fact that the experienced wolf answered her questions about Scout's life in great detail. Crystal greatly appreciated being precise.
One day, when she was talking to Scout like this, she talked to him as her brother went hunting. She followed him to see how he was doing, because while Sapphire liked to brag about his skills, they were hardly ever enough to hunt anything. Suddenly a hare bumped into her, literally running under her paws. With a quick, perfectly practiced move, she killed the animal and walked out to her brother who was standing with some stranger. The newcomer looked like a fox. A skinny, hunched over fox with unkempt fur. A pathetic image. He looked at her strangely and talked out of turn. She was very happy when the encounter was over.
She found her way into the new herd very quickly. Her best friend was Opal, a she-wolf with a dream to explore the world. Crystal admired her for her willingness to be independent, unlike Opal, Crystal needed constancy, she needed a pack. However, she firmly believed that her friend would not abandon her.
One day when she returned from a hunt, she saw him, a mournful fox. He already looked a little better. His fur was more neatly groomed, apparently he was trying to play confident, but he was doing poorly. Her brother immediately ran up to greet him. Crystal also did so reluctantly, Amethyst, for that was his name looked at her with strange eyes, probably wanting to impress her. Only with what?
The next few days passed learning to hunt and hunting, Crystal spent her days with Opal trying to be as far away from Amethyst as possible. Amethyst was so annoying, why did he join the pack when every now and then he showed that he longed for independence? Sapphire, on the other hand, became his miserable sidekick. Crystal was heartbroken over her brother. Everyone was jumping around Amtist like that, even the pack leader, pathetic.
Opal began to spend more and more time with travelers who stayed with the herd for a short time. Crystal would hunt so she would go alone, because being alone was better than being near Amethyst. Once upon a time, she met a pack of wild dogs on her way. She began to fight them, however, it was an uneven fight. As she began to run away on the rocky terrain, she suddenly fell over and slid down the slope on her back. The world in front of her eyes whirled and the dogs descended towards her and got closer and closer. At some point, something began to chase them away. The silver fur shimmered in the light of the sunset, and she had to admit that the cutout that had just saved her looked quite nice in that light. Amethyst looked at her concerned.

For a moment I had the impression that you were one of those unkempt mutts. You guys look a lot alike.

Amethyst laughed and they returned to camp insulting each other. Crystal admitted to herself that she probably enjoyed such teasing. Later she had even more of these jokes because Opal left the herd and became a traveler, so Crystal spent time with Amethyst and Sapphire.
Amethyst was changing, he looked like he wanted to leave. Crystal didn't want to say goodbye to another wolf close to her. When Amethyst left the camp one evening she ran after him. She didn't want him to leave, who would she denigrate so much then? She concluded that this one was a coward, that hard times were coming. In her heart she was a little worried about him. He looked like he was facing a choice, she went with him on a hunt during which they joked again. The silly howl, however, remained. They spent every free moment with each other. In the so-called meantime, they became a couple. Amethyst grew into a handsome and confident wolf, Crystal knew he was the best choice.
