Founder of the Bright Hills pack
Mate to Myrsky
Mother of Falcon of Northern Skies, Sea of Broken Ice, Valley of Blooming Moss, and Thundering Mountain
Origins:
Born in the east, far past the bounds of the riparian woodlands to a small,new pack made of only her parents and her mother's sister.
They fledgling pack made their claim in a vast valley they believed would be perfectly for them and their future pups.
Lorenix and her two brothers, Glaiden, and River were their parents first and only litter.
Growing up in the valley was just right for the pups,they spent their early days under the trios watch trying to catch fish in the creeks and ponds, swimming, playing in the flowers, tussling and learning what they'd need to survive.
One night, howls filled the valley from a new pack,a massive pack.
Showing their presence, Lorenix's family called back. Now that she and her siblings were nearly a year old, they had their share of successful hunts and fights with the adults.
The pack held high hopes that these newcomers would be fair-tempered and pose no threat to them…so when the time eventually came they crossed paths,the trio along with the youngsters spotted them from a distance during a hunt.
They saw this wolves were skilled, coordinated and were many…
With a sense of dread in their hearts,Lorenix's parents told them to run and hide farther off and watch but stay out of sight.
The siblings obeyed and watched as the packs approached each other after their family howled a greeting once they'd taken down their prey.
She couldn't hear much and neither could her brothers but they could see the strangers were hostile.
The siblings gathered they weren't too happy to find competition in the valley and assumed the trio wanted a share of their prey.
In a moment situation turned violent when the wolf who seemed to be leading the hunt snapped at her family and his pack mates joined in by his side.
Yips, cries and snarls echoed to Lorenix and the brothers,sending panic and fear into their hearts. River was the only to break from their fear and charge to his families aid but they were still far out numbered. Lorenix and then Glaiden sprinted to join just as the rival pack ceased and went on her way,leaving the four beaten and torn. Glaiden and Lorenix helped their father and aunt who held the worse wounds to a nearby pond so they could wash in the water.
None of the family had knowledge of healing and the wounded each fell of their injuries and infections within a few weeks.
Alone and emotionally broken,Glaiden and Lorenix discussed what their next steps would be. Lorenix made her choice to journey west and see what their travels brought her, Glaiden agreed but in his heart he didn't want to leave the valley.To his shame and despite his hate for their actions he thought of joining the pack that took over the valley as he believed safety would be secured and that kill or be killed may just be the way things are.
After a few days of traveling,Glaiden finally told Lorenix his wishes. Furious with his words and betrayed she showed no support for his idea and swore she'd make something of herself, make their parents proud.
She took off continuing towards the west, leaving Glaiden where he stood.
From there she never turned back.
She learned to survive without her family and during her travels through the next few months and she made a friend, a she-wolf named Myrsky who had chosen to stray off from her nomadic pack some months back. Their bond continued to strengthen with each hardship, adventure and day they spent by each other's side.
When they breached the tree-line of the Deciduous forests and finally saw the magnificent rolling hills of the grasslands they decided to give this territory a chance. The pair, now proudly mates continued to wander the hills till they came across a large grove at the western edge of the grasslands.They made a small area with soft, tall grass and a beaten path their home.
From there they looked for lone wolves nearby who would join them. Soon their little group grew, they gave themselves the name of the Bright Hills pack.
Though simply a rag-tag group of loners, mates, and small packs no larger than 3 wolves that joined together in these beautiful hills, no history together, traditions or organization, they thrived and lived happily with the grove as their resting place.
Lorenix's life was filled with joy and purpose, leading her pack, spending her nights with Myrsky and taking the time to heal from her past.
When she was approached by a new wolf,Valk who she quickly welcomed into the pack, they developed a deep friendship. From Valk's stories of her own past and her packs traditions, wisdoms and organization she chose to slowly implement some of their ways into her own pack to give them a stronger foundation, including the rank of Hunt Chief, having young wolves ready to be trained stay in the elements with their mentors until they are adults, feeding pups berries fruits and nuts, and having one pupsitter each night sing till the first light of morning for young pups.
Though young she has held the responsibility of leading this ever growing pack through the seasons with generosity, kindness and a welcoming spirit.
