Winter Storm

Winter Storm was born as the only female pup in her litter to the former herbalist Namia and the breeding male Novi. Although her parents weren't partners, Namia was very excited for this litter. During her work she realized that she grew weaker with each colder night and that her next litter wouldn't be an healthy one. Therefore she quitted her job in favor of a young excited wolf and tried her best in getting stronger. Despite her efforts Winter Storm and her three brother were born weakly and Namia feared that she wouldn't be able to raise them. As an herbalist the wolf knew, that the hard birth had reduced her health significantly and that she'd probably die, if she raises them. In this moment she realised a desperate opportunity. There were missing wolves and a hard desicion to be made to stop the spirit Bronogh in destroying more families. Although Faoiltiama refused this sacrifice and decided to fight the spirit with her life, Namia knew that it wouldn't be enough. She wanted to convince her longtime friend when she realised that she had the means necessary to stop Bronagh and save her weakened children herself. Before anyone could stop her, she offered her four pups to the spirit and they changed realms happily through Bronaghs mysterious energy. Although she was sad that they forgot their real mother so fast, Namia was happy they had milk for her. Bronagh a wolf spirit searching for her mother and Namia a wolf, who knew that she couldn't save them herself. Through this exchange both wolves got what they longed for...
Namia found herself wandering to this same cave a few days after, only to be greeted by one of her pups. Winter Storm found herself back in the mortal realm and Namia swore to never abandon that pup again even if costs her life. Like the former herbalist prophesized, she died shortly after Winter Storm was weaned. Now the young wolf has to claim her own path to find happiness, while the spirit world still seems to call her home.
