Pack name + user ID: ice moon clan, 62470
Date arrived: oct 24
Decor added (if any): lunar paws
Lore (optional): cosmo had just started out on his journey away from the thin stretch of prairie his home pack, the wisp-walkers lived. Aroura, another traveling wolf like him had warned cosmo to stay away from the desert while he was still an adolescent. Left with no better option, he traveled to the deciduous forest. It was a cold, windy night with a full moon rising overhead. Walking around a huge oak tree he felt an odd slipping sensation. It was as if the whole world had been doused in a shimmering ethereal blue. He was in a lunar wood. As he stopped for a moment to observe his surroundings he was tackled to the ground by a strange , glowing black and blue wolf. As cosmo yelped in terror the strange wolf spoke "stay away from the wolves who have the nerve to call themselves a pack! Pup killers and Murderers! All of them!" Cosmo woke up, still trembling. To continue on his way. A short while later he came across the Ice moon clan. Was this the band of pup killers the blue wolf told him about? Even though all of them were very friendly, he felt uneasy and moved quickly on.

Pack name + user ID: The Untold, 60184
Date arrived: Nov 2
Decor added (if any): Moonlit Beach [Background]
Lore (optional): As Cosmo pads along, the scenery around him slowly begins to lose its colour and the air becomes still. He looks up once he notices, only to be met with a pair of piercing white eyes that match his own. "No, you're not one of them." After saying that, the other wolf quickly becomes uninterested and disappears into the fog. Cosmo can barely get a word out. He's confused, but this place seems like it has too much to tell him. Getting lost in this place would be awful, so he quickly leaves.

Date arrived: Jan 7
Decor added (if any): N/A
Lore (optional): In a strange twist of fate, Cosmo found himself in a place he'd been before. Stale air and lifeless, once again he's met by those white eyes. "You've come back again? I don't take this second meeting as fate bringing you here. If you come back again, your story will end." The wolf tells him, a warning of some kind. At least the words spoken were gentler this time. He leaves again to continue on his journey.

Pack name + user ID: The Desert Stars (Proxy Loves Mojaves #86672)
Date arrived: 2024-11-24 00:52:11
Decor added (if any): Blue Glowy Feather Bodywear & Bodypaint Lunar Bolts
Lore (optional): Cosmo left The Untold pack behind once more - shivering slightly at the memory of those empty white eyes. He walked with his head hung low, both physically and mentally exhausted. Cosmo hardly expected a group of strangers to wait on him paw and foot, of course. But he sometimes wished the life of a traveling wolf could be a little less lonely.

His paws itched nervously as he crossed the border into the desert lands. He knew that Aroura had warned him not to wander into the desert alone... but he wasn't an adolescent anymore. Cosmo wasn't sure where else he could go, at this point – and even the idea of bandits was starting to sound more appealing than another journey through the dreamlands.

The desert was surprisingly cool at night. The lack of any tree cover left Cosmo feeling exposed; and the cackling yips of coyotes and cold air made him shiver to the bone. He curled up in a ball beneath the shade of a tall saguaro, hoping it could act as a buffer between him and the wind. Until at last, he slept.

. . .

As the morning light stirred against his eyelids, Cosmo stretched and yawned. He winced slightly as he stood up. He had slept much longer than he thought he would, and his time spent lying on the cold ground left his joints feeling stiff. But all things considered, it could have been worse.

Just as he was about to continue on, however, he was interrupted by the sound of a wolf's song – a series of short, cheerful howls, that was almost like... whistling?

The stranger turned in Cosmo's direction. They had seen him too. Instinctively, Cosmo shrank back. He had heard that the desert wolves could often be aggressive, and he was ready to run or fight if he had to. But instead, the strange wolf approached him with a wagging tail, and an almost puppylike grin, his tongue lolling to one side of his jaw.

"Well howdy, stranger!" The piebald wolf said. "I haven't seen you around these parts before. You look like you've had a real rough time of it. You lost?"

Cosmo shook his head, and explained that he was a traveler, and shared a little of what he'd been through so far. The piebald wolf's eyes lit up with excitement.

"You don't say! Well, you must have come a long way. My name's Jingle Jangle. Jingle for short." He offered Cosmo a paw. "You need a place to stay? There's a local pack around here, holed up in that old ghost town. They love stories 'round these parts, and I'm sure if you told them a few of your traveling tales, they'd let you stay for as long as you need."

Cosmo stared at the paw in confusion. Both because he didn't recognize the gesture, and because he wasn't expecting anyone to be quite so... nice to him. Especially out here. Was this some kind of trap? Cosmo apologized for intruding on his territory, and said he'd be happy to leave, if he had to.

Jingle placed his paw back down, unoffended. "Now, I won't hear a word of that," Jingle chided him gently. "You look like you've been through heck and back, and it just wouldn't be right to leave a poor stranger out in the cold like that. Despite what you may have heard, not all desert wolves are bandits."

The wolf turned towards the horizon, and beckoned Cosmo with his tail.

"Come on, partner. Let's get some proper grub in you." Jingle winked. "I hope you like pronghorn!"
