Kicked from his brutal pack for being far too friendly Svithium struck out on an adventure across the lands at a young age. He was able to hop from pack to pack for his own survival, but ran into the same problem everywhere he went. He was just too friendly.
His friendliness was unsettling, wolves either thought he was being fake, or was just too much; especially when he was less than a year old. He found himself alone time after time, but this didn't bother him at all. He was perfectly fine traveling and finding friends that wouldn't get annoyed at his company.
The only times Svithium found himself down, was when he'd spot the wondering souls of animals and human alike stuck on this plain of existence. He wanted to help them, but had no idea how to. In the very least he thought they'd like to chat, and so he'd give them an ear to listen.
Some of them remember how they passed some didn't, some were more recent spirits, while some were ages old. Some would talk about their past lives, while some would chat about all they had seen since they turned into wondering spirits. Through these talks, Svithium vowed that he'd figure a way to help those who lingered in white mist.
One day while Svithium was listening to Henden, a wolf that met their end several years ago, a she-wolf approached. Svith was expecting to be asked the typical questions; "Who are you talking to? Are you feeling okay? What's wrong with you?" but instead she looked to Henden, then back to Svithium. "You can see them too?"
Tallow and Svith became instant friends, and found themselves wondering the woods together. Tallow however belonged to a pack. She tried to get Svithium to join, but he politely declined. Each time they would meet up their bond grew, until Svith asked; "Would you...maybe want to start a pack with me?" Filled with joy Tallow joyfully and instantly replied; "Yes!"
For a few years the duo traveled across the lands trying to find a territory of their own, along the way picking up other wolves who seemed to have the sight. Not everyone got along or stayed, but eventually the pack grew strong enough to finally try a take over of some hunting grounds they had been eyeing.
Thanks to their team work, the battle was successful. Svithium hated that there had to be a fight at all, but all their previous bargaining had been for not. Able to settle into their new lands rich with prey, fresh water, and healing herbs the pack began to thrive. Only a few short months after moving in Tallow and Svithium gave birth to their first litter, in which Akhlut their first son was born.
