Bren ❂

Daughter in the fourth litter between Chieftain Helios and Chieftess Seraphina
Ex Red Princess ****
Ex Brazen Dux
Sun Speaker

Through out their adolescence, Bren and Vasilios were frequently taken out by the retired scout, Tamiko. Helios had arranged this, saying how it was the best way for his children to learn quickly and that they'd need this very important knowledge one day. So when the two reached adulthood they were sent out to start their time of exploration.

It was strange, really. Their powerful leaders showed no grey hair nor weak muscle of age. If not for the apparent aging of their eldest offspring one would mistake them for having only lived through three cycles. So when Helios called in his two youngest pups to his den it was confusing to hear him speak to them as if he hadn't much time left. They would be the next chieftain and chieftess, working together as brother and sister.
Not yet two years old (1 yr, 9 m) Bren and her littermate were faced with their new commanding roles in the tribe in winter year 7 of the tribe.

Much like her father she was aloof and stoic especially towards her brother who behaved like an immature pup. She continued to be reserved as she tries to figure out what her destiny is all the while doing most of the work to lead their tribe.
Days after the vigil, she noticed something - or rather someone - overlooking camp. It was Helios! She rushed to meet him, earning her odd looks as she raced up the sandstone, but she had so many questions! Rimmed with a red glow, the old Chieftain gave her a warm greeting. Helios spoke of sun halos and radiance of the afterlife they were all bound for, but that was not why he had shown himself.
He explained that as long as the sun shown he could guide her. And through her, guide the tribe. He trusts the mortal tribe leaders - with a little assistance from Seraphina - to pave the future. But for there to be a future they would need a bit of help. There were simply some forces much too powerful for them to fight alone. This was by far the last duty she expected to take on, but she was more than determined to pass on the words of the beyond for their tribe to learn from.

Nearing her seventh year (6 yr, 9 m & upon reaching lvl 20), Bren decided to slow down her explorations far from their territories. Instead she would place her full focus upon the inner workings of the tribe and how to improve methods of resource gathering. Plus she had to keep up tribe relations with neighboring packs. With all this in mind she and Vasili still had to prepare their heirs...

During autumn of the tribe's 13th year, Bren (7y 8m) sat high above the tribe basked in the soft glow of the rising sun when a weariness swept over her. A moment of darkness before an expanse of light surrounded her and she was face to face with Helios. He looked far more radiant and powerful than when she'd normally speak with him. Helios leaned down, touching his nose to her head,
"It is time for you to do what I could not. Join the Sun-Bound in life, fore as long as the sun will rise and fall you will be there with breath in your lungs and my voice in your ear. Now, return, Sun-Speaker."
Her eyes parted as the final red rays of the setting sun fell past the horizon. Back to her paws, a new life flowed through her muscles and a faint, approving 'hm' drifted beside her.
There was much to do.
