Ivy 🏳️ 🌈

"Hey, Pepper!" A quiet whisper sounded behind the young pup. She turned around to see her twin, Salty standing by the nursery exit. "What are you doing this time?" She whispered back. "I'm going the play with my friends from the other pack!" "You know that's dangerous, haven't you heard about the other pups that have been killed sneaking out?" "Yeah and I won't be one of them! So, are you coming with me or not?" "Not! I am definitely not coming with you! That's a stupid idea and you could be hurt!" Salty hobbled away with an I'm gonna prove you wrong smirk, while Pepper sank back into her bed of dead leaves and soft moss. She woke that morning to the bright sun covering her face, warming her just a bit in the cold winter air. She stood up and shared her pelt. Then, she noticed her mom scanning the outside of the den with a worried look and pacing back and forth. SacredMoon sat just outside and the pupsitters were speckled around the den. "Fern should be back by now!" SacredMoon announced. "I'm going to fetch her." Pepper's dad noticed that she had awoken, and quickly ran to her. "Pepper, do you know where Salty went? It's important that you answer if you know." "No, I don't know. Why do you ask?" "She went missing last night and we are still waiting to hear from the scouts yo see if they found her." Pepper looked up to see a sorrowful SacredMoon padding towards the den. Fern followed, looking like she was just crying. "D...did you find her?" Snowy asked, she looked like she was about to burst into sobs. Fern took her aside, while SacresMoon told everyone else the news. Everyone dipped their heads and a few wolves burst into tears. Pepper sobbed herself, borrowing her muzzle into her father. A while later, Snowy walked into the den. Her head was held high and she looked like she was unaware of what had just happened. "Ivy" She said, looking at the small pup. "Goodmorning."

But also:

The pup blushed as she stared at Lilac's gorgeous brown fur. She lost herself in the fellow wolf's twinkling grey eyes. She adored Lilac's deep purple nose, even though many other wolves didn't. A few moon cycles later, a young Ivy was training with lilac. The two wolves were quite close and they giggled together as they followed the grown wolves down the thin trail of Rabbit tracks. "Quiet! You'll scare the prey away!" Obsidian hushed them. "Sorry!" Their voices chimed in unison. It was certainly the perfect friendship. "Ivy, come here." Ivy heard SacredMoon's voice from a small bush, so she ran to go check it out. "SacredMoon?" "Follow me, young one." SacredMoon led the adolescent to a cave with a blue glowing stone inside. "Wow! This place is amazing!" This is the sacred stone. It's like the scrying stone, but less powerful. A blessing from the past wolves yo protect our pack." The leader explained, dipping her head to the stone. Ivy did the same. "I have received a prophecy that you will grow to bring many wonderful pups into our pack and care for them like your own. Alongside another female wolf." "How would I do that?" "I suppose you'd adopt them from mother bear at the enclave." "Is that all the prophecy says?" "It is, but I'm not sure exactly what it means. I guess that it's your job to figure that out, young one. That's all I needed to tell you, you may be on your way now." "Thank you, SacredMoon." She took off and rejoined her mentors and friends on the hunt, thinking about the prophecy.

And ofc:

SacredMoon walked towards Ivy. "Congratulations young one, you've proven to all of us that you will serve this pack well. You can choose to join a hunting party, become a pupsitter, or focus everything on bringing new puppies into our pack." "Am I allowed to form a pairbond?" "Of course, who do you have in mind?" "Well this is going to sound odd, but Lilac." "Of course, I shall make the arrangements at once!"
