In the Beginning

[irishhowl]

[shadow=red,left,300]Winter[/shadow]had a way of sneaking up on you, with its icy breath after the falling of the last amber hued foliage touched the ground and the world became some orb of death. In Ireland where all things where thought to be green and bright, in the mountains of the Highland it was different when winter approached. Everything changed, but even amid the cruel frozen death there was birth to be had.

[shadow=red,left,300]In[/shadow]the depths of the darken den, a cave deep within a mountain's side where warmth could be had and the ground was dry there laid a gray and white she wolf on her side groaning in pain. Tongue of pink dangling out, panting as the night before had been troubling and the pup was not out yet. She thought she would die here trying to get this pup to come out into the world.

[shadow=red,left,300]She[/shadow]was not alone though, for within the curve of the cave's mouth there sat a large black wolf male watching over his mate who was giving birth to their pup. He knew it would only be one, but then again he knew many things he had not even told his life mate. Those golden eyes merely watched, mouth closed in the narrow sleek muzzle with ears pricked up while he stood guard over the cave.

[shadow=red,left,300]It[/shadow]was sunset when finally the sound of a pup's whining came to both their ears as the mother, Whitestar, began licking at the pup though curious as to why it took so long for only one to finally come out. After cleaning the little one, she finally laid on her side fully for a well deserved rest as she looked to her mate who smiled at her. This golden eyes spoke of intelligence, something human that had first scared her when they first met for it was not like wolves to wait and court; it was humans who did. She knew what he was, but the rest of the pack did not and she knew her daughter would be as well.

[shadow=red,left,300]Years[/shadow]would pass, Whitestar had been alone with Darkness Strikes for 6 weeks as he would hunt, bring her food to keep milk in the pup's belly until she twoo began teething and soon started to eat meat. After that there was no goodbye, no whimpering to get him to stay for during the night he had gone but never returned to the den. Now 14 years had passed since the little one had been born as she had her father's striking black coat which seemed a piece of darkness. The name the pack had given her was Stargazer, since she was a pup she would sneak out at night to look up at the stars when she could as if she could read them and often saw pictures in the heavens mostly of pack hunting.

[shadow=blue,left,300]One[/shadow] night after a hunt that had proven successful with the downfall of an elk she had wandered off once more as she was prone to do and pack no longer worried when she did. That night was to change her though, as she padded along those paths she took like a shadow in the black of night. She had caught the scent of something, often when the scent came her mother and others said to steer clear for they were called humans. But this time she did not play keep away, instead she began to track them and just see what these humans looked like.

[shadow=red,left,300]Coming[/shadow]to the edge of a camp she saw tall, pale figures all lounging around an oddly contained rim of fire that didn't leap to the trees. She lingered there, watching, obvsering the sleeping figures as she moved through the foliage, daring to take a step closer to the bodies as she saw a strange piece of metal that held a drink of some odd colored water. Tipping her nose towards it, tongue came out to lap at the liquid for a moment as it stung and yet tasted good. So she began to drink more as she stuck her muzzle into it to reach further down but when she lifted her head up the tin cup would not come off.

[shadow=red,left,300]She[/shadow]panicked, lifting paws up to push at it as she sat on her rump and then she felt pain in her gut spread through her whole body. Collapsing to her side, as a few other things where knocked over which caused the people to wake. They didn't find a wolf had been there but instead a young adolscent girl with blondish hair down to her waist held one of their cups. The men all had women, some even had children like her so nothing bad happen only she was shocked at her own change. They seemed to welcome her though and offer her clothing to keep warm.

[shadow=red,left,300]When[/shadow]all had calmed down, she'd laid to rest and during the resting her body relaxed and she reverted back to wolf. She was surprised at the ability, leaping from her spot to go prancing back into the woods while it was her mother standing there looking at her.

"Oi thought Oi told ye young pup, naet te be wandering close te the humans and naew ye rest with them?"

"Oi'm nae a pup any longer, ma. We both knaew that, why did ye never tell me us wolves could change to look like humans? Can we change te be like birds too?"

Nae, just wolf and human, tis an ability of ye father's. Nae the pack leader that tis me mate naew, but ye rightful father."

"Then where is me father?"

"He left after ye were born."

[shadow=red,left,300]S[/shadow]targazer had much to think about but she wouldn't be given an infinate amount of time. She did not know it then but the full moon was coming and it was her clock.
