Welcome to Gaia! ::

"But we don't have powers like you or the Pack Mother!" Mellar said. She was right of course for the Wolves had long since lost their powers except for Lucia, Lak, and Zalk.
"That's becuase you're all nuaghty little cubs.." Luscia said, nudging the quizzical young wolf.
"Ahlo, doesn't grant powers to nuaghty little cubs. Besides, your teeth and claws are your powers little ones. The powers of the hunter!"
Mella giggled with glee and hurried into the temple.
"Lak, don't go overboard with that story okay? I don't want the cubs to know too much. They're still only pups..."

Chaos laughed and sat down. She was madly in love with the Tales of the Pack.

"-And so," Luscia was saying, swaying her head back and forth.
"Va and Zolstar courted. It was the most unusual...most beautiful courtship in all the heavens: Va, the wolf goddess whose fur was blue as ice and Zolstar, the flying Snowy owl god and the proudest of the hunters in the heavens...They courted for six days, and from their love for each other and the circular dance they performed...." Lucia ran in a small circle. the cubs giggled.
"The dust in the air was compressed into earth! From their loving tears came the rivers and oceans, from their heaving breaths came the sky and the clouds! And...on the seventh day, Va's child had begun to grow in her belly and from the love of the new life that was soon to come, the earth blossomed with grasses and trees and flowers and when Va and Zolstar gazed at the world they created they decided it would be the first prsent their young cub would recieve. However, the planet was large and empty so Va -who loved the earth and its waters- created creatures to walk its surface and swim in its rivers. Then Zolstar created the beings of the sky. But the creatures both of them loved the most were the wolves, made in Va's image. The wolves were powerful, beautiful hunters who commanded the lands and yet howled to the skies to acknowlege the birds. The goddess Va decided to give the wolves a special name: She named them the Varg."
"That's our formal word for wolves?" Mellar asked. Luscia nodded.
"The planet flourished and exhalted their God Zolstar, the god of the hunt and of strength, and their Goddess Va, the goddess of kindness and wisdom. Then one day, Va's child finally came..."
The little pups all held their breaths.
"It took nearly two days for her to come but when she was born...Zolstar and Va were shocked. Neither a Varg nor an owl layed at their feet, but a hairless creature with two limbs longer in the back than the front and a strange, face that whimpered and cried terribly, as if it had been beaten.
Va stared at the creature in disbeleif, for the young cub also had something she didn't expect...the cub had tiny wings adorning her back.
The two, distraught parents decided to name their child Ahlo which meant "winged one" and decided they would raise her as best as they could...Well...needless to say Ahlo grew into a fitting goddess child. She would often sit and stare down at the earth, watching over its inhabitants, or dance among the clouds on her two long legs while her shorter limbs swayed to and fro. But what Ahlo did not understand, was what she was. So, in an attempt to create creatures like her, she made beings in her image and called them "humans". however, her magic was not adept and the humans she made had no wings as she did and they were ugly compared to the goddess they came to worship. Ahlo, loved the humans still but she loved her mother's creation even more. She loved the Varg. One day...Man and the Varg entered a conflict and war broke out between them. Ahlo watched in horror as blood stained the emerald grass, dyeing it crimson. Her heart ached for the wolves and the humans and in a spur of the moment decision, she lept from the sky and plummeted t earth!"
Luscia lept towards the cubs and they gasped in suprise.
"And as she fell she began to change. Fur rippled down her body, and limbs snapped and popped as they changed shape but down and down she fell until she landed gently on the ground in the form of a pure wite wolf with wings tipped with the color of blue ice! in awe of her new form yet too rushed to stop and stare at herself, she lept towards the battle. The varg and the humans knew instantly their goddess was amung them but instinct and bloodlust gripped them still and they could not cease fighting. Ahlo fought valiantly alongside the wolves as she tried to calm her own creations, when she was suddenly peirced with a metal claw the humans weilded. Ahlo fell and blood seeped out around her, mingling with the blood of the other fallen. The man who struck his goddess...his paws began to tremble and the wolves stared in horror. What had they done? they all wondered and some began to weep. Suddenly there was a blinding light!" Luscia's coat began to glow and the light she emmitted light the room faintly.
"Ahlo rose from the ground with not a wound on her and the blood of her and the others that had fallen, had turned to white rose petals that fluttered into the air on the breeze.
'For shame on you all!' Ahlo cried. 'To strike your god with such ferosity!'
The humans began to tremble and beg for her mercy but as the last of the petals drifted away she smiled.
'Look not to your pain and loss...Look not to your anger and greed...but look to each other as equals. Man and Varg, both hunters of greatness and both loved dearly in my heart...'
With that Ahlo spread her magnifecent wings and man and wolf bowed before her.
'She is a true putnar! A hunter of virtue! Serna she is! The truest of the wolf and the truest of man and the birds! Serna she is!'
Then all in the feild chanted the ancient word for holy....'Sernna! Serna!'
And as Va and Zolstar stared down at their child from above, their hearts swelled not only with love, but with pride."
As Luscia finished the tale her coat dimmed to its normal grey and the crowd of pups barked and cheered happily. They pounced around and roared with approval for another story well told.
Luscia smiled and turned to Blanka.
"You're quite late today." She said softly.

Luscia gave Lak a quick glance with her blind eyes. Warning him silently not to go to far. Then she smiled and flicked him playfully with her tail before she padded respectfully from the storyteller's circle, giving Lak the floor. She walked up to Blanka and felt Mellar, the curious little pup she was, rise from her spot and pad over to Blanka with Luscia. They both sat in front of her.
"What in Va's name is in your mouth?" Luscia whispered quietly, sniffing the branch.
"Are they berries?" Mellar asked. One of her ears was still turned to the circle where Lak was. She had a talent for listening to two conversations at once.

Lak smirked "There was 20 brave warriors, among them Myself Luscia and the feared Zalk " he smirked again as his shadows became pictures of a clearing with 20 wolfs walking towards the center praying "We all prayed for power, for a weapon for the gods, to save ourselfs, to be able to put up a fight" the shadow wolfs howled up to a black moon that appeared "and then, the sun and the moon meet, once and only once in a thousand years this happened and from it a holy light, the light of Serna came down on us" he smiled as the shadows did what he said "And the 20 of us gained the powers of the elements, light air fire water earth and darkness, together we fought to defend our home to defend our land to defend the clubs like you " he leaped forward towards the clubs "And the war went finally even and went on us winning with the last 20 warriors we had left, there were times I saved others and times I was saved, our powers of the elements working together perfectly, until the Holy Angel Ahlo appeared ending the war, the humans leaving, us returning home, but there was more in the story then just the end of the War, you must know of the betrayal we had, The one and only one who had darkness like myself, he was my mentor, trained in the way of darkness, he must of went to deep, Appearing with nothing but the idea of taking the wounded, our leader, the Alpha male the one we fought next too the one who was truly the commander and chief." he smirked as his shadows became the moon before disappearing "He tried to take out our leader, but thankfully we were together, fought with the way of the pack, not as many but as one." he looked up "Rest his soul, but Zalk, the betrayer disappeared before all our eyes, in a hole of pure darkness, defeated." he smiled a bit "Our leader alive our hearts happy, there was peace among our people among our land, and thats the story until now, but what will happen in the soon future"

When the cub asked if Zalk was alive, Lak disappeared into the shadows thinking to himself he better be dead, what he did is unforgivable, if he isn't dead, he will be soon for my heart, will give me the power to kill him.......I won't let him happen anyone in this village again......Va, Zolstar, Ahlo, I pray to you don't let that day come he appeared again infront o the cubs "Bet non of you can catch me" he chuckled as he hoped around like he was a wolf of speed not power, he smiled happily, he wished he could have a cub but he was old, only his will to survive let him live now, his will was all he needed too, his will to live, his will to love. "Come on little ones"

(Long but good)

Lak smiled as he roll around trying ot get hte cubs off "You think you got me oh do you" he smirked as he went as the ground, invisalbe to all and got out of the cubs grips before appearing again grabbing them and throwing them onto his back and running around "Well you got me but can you stay on me" he chuckled, playing with the cubs was always fun "Are you a scout, or a Hunter, can you hurt or just see" he smirked
