Alas did not know any of her family for they all died when she was still a young pup. She was whelped for a while by a female who had extra milk and felt sympathy for her. The female however left her at the edge of a river when she was old enough to eat solids. Alas learned to hunt for herself, small prey mostly but from her puppyhood she practiced and mastered the arts of healing. Alas was an incredible healer for a non shaman always testing new things (usually on herself) and able to memorize plants and remedies as well as smell certain illness and infection.

She grew into a healthy female and after spending many of her moons alone she ran across an ambitious teen female named Twister. Alas felt a motherly affection for the teen and agreed to join her pack in the hopes she could aid in molding the young one into a great alpha. Sadly Alas did not know that as young as Twist was she was already corrupted. Alas remained blind to the cruelty in Twist's heart, and the females hatred of her until she stumbled on these conspiracies. Horrified by Twists true nature Alas became distraught having had such high hopes for Twist and the pack.

At the same time Alas had been gathering herbs and other healing properties outside of the packlands and stumbled across a new Alpha of their neighboring territory and his sister. Gracia, despite being an omega became Alas' great friend. In Gracia's brother, Crunch, she found a confusing figure. Crunch amused, frightened, and perplexed Alas, she saw him as a challenge, and as her hope. Seeing that things with Twist could take a turn for the worst Alas begged Crunch's aid in learning how to defend herself and the other innocents of her pack. With these lessons came time to understand the blue alpha, and Alas slowly fell in love.

Torn between her duty to a pack she now feared, and the love for Crunch Alas realized she would have to abandon Agua Azul to join Akiiki Chibale. Alas had realized that not only Twist but all of the Agua Azul pack were torn apart and suspicious or hard on each other. Finally accepting that Twist's character could not be changed with her love and efforts she found one who she could train in the healing arts to serve the pack when she left it. Calling on Adolfo as a teen she realized the young male had incredible potential, his talent was impressive, but his understanding of the workings of Agua Azul impressed her more. Alas taught Adolfo some of her skill and wished him luck in dealing with the pack and his brother.

Finally the day came for Alas to leave Agua Azul, when Twist birthed six pups she felt the need to try and save at least one innocent in the pack. Alas took the first female born one night while the Alpha pair were out and lied to the couple informing them the pup had drowned. She then fled to Akiiki Chibale to reside with Crunch. Shortly after Alas found a small white and pink pup and took her in, raising Venera and Tempeste together as sisters Alas never revealed their true origins to them and the girls were too content with their family to ever question their 'mother' and 'father'. Alas simply ensured that the girls knew how dangerous the lands near the sea were. Her heart heavy with the guilt of having pup-napped Tempeste Alas tried to raise her to understand the importance of love and family. When Tempeste showed flares of temper Alas could see so much of the young Twist in her that she swore to one day reveal the truth to her two adopted daughters. Alas heard rumors that the alpha male of Agua Azul, Wazaam, had slowly softened over time perhaps becoming aware of Twist's manipulations and hope for the neighboring pack held out in her heart.

During her time in Akiiki Chibale Alas acted as the pack's healer and alpha female she welcomed each new member and her family grew. There were hardships for her as a healer when Musketeer begged her for help and she was unable to save the fourth of his and Necrala's litter. While she knew that life and death were not forces to be tangled with Alas always wished her healing skill were greater.

Just when Alas thought things might finally be looking up one of the members of the pack, Moranna, was attacked by a child of Twist and Wazaam's, Tornado. The event fueled the bad blood between Agua Azul and Akiiki Chibale and it was obvious that an all out war was inevitable. At the same time the Reign of Terror made their presence known and Alas realize her pack, her family, was in danger from multiple enemies. The last straw was Musketeer bringing in a small litter of pups and again asking Alas for help, she was only able to save one of his pups however and found herself angry and saddened. She decided to head out in search of help for her family and found The Old Oak Tree where an Omnus named Newanti helped her unlock the power of love within her. Blessed with Shaman powers and holding the power of love within her heart Alas returned to her pack confident that she could use her new abilities to keep the war from wreaking chaos.

During her absence Moranna was taken by Tornado and never heard from again pushing the pack even closer to all out war against Agua Azul. Alas realized that the time had come to tell her adopted daughters the truth and so she informed Tempeste of her true heritage and Venera of her subsequent adoption. She gave Tempeste her blessing to travel to Agua Azul and see her true parents and allowed Venera to leave the pack to find her own peace of mind. Heavy hearted Alas waited for her adopted daughters return and meanwhile received a request from Raelin, a member of the Reign of Terror for healing lessons. Torn Alas realized that she couldn't deny the female lessons when she had been blessed with the ability to help her own family. Soon after Tempeste returned battered and explaining to her mother that she had tried to ask her birth parents to stop the war only to have her mother drug her and attempt to give her to a lynx for killing. The war between the packs was now inevitable Alas and Crunch decided to name the pack successors.

Alas and Crunch chose Tempeste as future Alpha of Akiiki Chibale surprising her with their choice. Alas helped her daughter Venera raise her fatherless pups and the feeling of family and unity within the pack grew. Alas kept her shaman abilities quiet but the wolves of her pack benefited from the good health she spread. When the war broke out Alas was the last to move in for their strike against Agua Azul and realized that the fighting was happening against the wrong side. Unknown to them Agua Azul had suffered a schism the wicked wolves allied with Twist had already been driven back by the benevolent wolves guided by Wazaam and now led by Shezaam. Alas rushed to break the fighting and managed to speak with Tempeste, Shezaam, and Wazaam. With minor casualties the war with Agua Azul was ended and Tempeste and Shezaam decided that an alliance between the two packs would be best.

Pleased by the peace between Agua Azul and Akiiki Chibale Alas now prepares to step down from her position as alpha to allow her daughter to step up.

…Yet a danger threatens to break the land and divide all even those who share bonds of love and family

When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall, in love

Musketeer traveled the land since he was a pup alongside his brother Butterfinger. He has an excellent nose and even better tracking skills, what he lacks in brute force he makes up for in cunning and speed. Musketeer caught the scent one day very similar to that of his and his brothers, thinking they might have found some relations of theirs they tracked after the scent until they reached the Akiiki Chibale pack run by Crunch.

Musketeer soon learned that Crunch and most of his pack were their cousins. He and his brother decided to remain with their newfound family content to be of use. Musketeer was ever the charmer and flirt and took up to bantering playfully with his female packmates. Shortly after he found a lone wolf, Necrala, in a clearing not too far from the pack territory. Musketeer soon fell in love with the female despite her cold attitude towards him.

One stormy night Musketeer went to Necrala only to find her sick and cold in the den he had helped her build. He joined her that night and while he recollects her willing and joyful surrender of love, she viewed their experience differently.

From that night Necrala hated Musketeer, loathed him and couldn't tolerate his presence, but his presence was always with her now for she carried his pups. Musketeer brought his beloved food each day and night and tried to coax her to forgive him. One harsh day near winter Necrala birthed four pups, the first healthy and strong, the second healthy and vivacious, the third struggled for life, and the last was stillborn. Alas warned the couple to set aside any differences for the pups sake before leaving sorry that she couldn't save the fourth pup.

Musketeer warned Necrala that while he would tolerate her hatefulness towards him he would never let her abandon his children, he knew the sting of loneliness and did not want it for his pups. Finally once the pups were weaned Musketeer took them to Akiiki Chibale to grow under the families care. He still held his love for Necrala and the hopes that his own small family would be reunited happily.

The moons passed and as his children grew, and his brother settled down with a mate Musketeer felt more alone then ever. Soon the night found him dallying with a strange female who was passing through the land. She reminded him so much of his beloved Necrala and she spoke no word against him when he called her by that name. She finally left the land and left Muskeeter feeling guilty for having betrayed the memory of a mate who had never even wanted him. Unknown to Musketeer the mysterious female was indeed Necrala but she never spoke to him nor stayed for him to discover the truth. The strange female returned one rainy night silently leaving four small pups for Musketeer and with that she left.

Musketeer felt the pain of loss all over again, once more he was a father alone. Quickly he gathered his pups and returned to the pack to beg Alas for help, all night they remained awake struggling to keep the pups alive in the end there was only one surviving pup from the litter. Moranna accused her father of being heartless and trying to replace his family with a new one, she fled into the night. Venera having just birthed her own litter helped Musketeer to feed and wean his daughter. Horrified that his daughter hadn't returned by morning and knowing the fragility of her health Musketeer tried to find her but all he found was the scent of Tornado taking her away.

Musketeer might have waged war against Agua Azul that very night but Alas urged him to consider his young pup and promised him they would continue to search for Moranna. Musketeer named his small surviving daughter Millanna and was stunned when the little female grew into an almost exact replica of Necrala. The pack continued the search for Moranna but with each day they lost hope and soon feared she was dead.

Finally once day Necrala returned and Musketeer though still loving her indomitable spirit could barely tolerate her tormenting. The two fought and then realized that they still loved each other despite all the pains their relationship had brought them. Necrala agreed to remain near the pack to get to know her children better and learn to adjust to life as Musketeer's mate. The Reign of Terror however was nearby and one of it's pack members brutally attacked Necrala, Muskeeter found her and brought her back to Akiiki Chibale where Alas healed her. Musketeer convinced Necrala of the love and safety of staying with the pack and both struggled with their feelings neither o them revealing to their daughter Millanna her mothers true identity.

Still reeling and angry from the loss of his daughter Musketeer was one of the most vicious attackers during the war with Agua Azul and when the war ended and he returned home he found his youngest daughter Millanna missing, gone of her own accord. Muskeeter filled with pain clung to his love for Necrala while simultaneously blaming her for abandoning their family. He taught Frey how to hunt eager to retire and perhaps find some time of peace with his reluctant mate and two remaining children.

…Yet the forces of nature threaten the fragile scrap of happiness that Musketeer still clings to and soon he may find himself torn away from all his comfort.

Twix goal in life was to protect and care for her family, she showed an extremely strong sense of loyalty and family orientation from a young age. She grew up under her brother, Crunch's, leadership along with her sister, Gracia, and her brother ,Snickers. Ever one to follow the rules and intolerant of those who she felt lacked respect Twix was looked at by her other siblings as a bit uptight. She idolized her older brother for his protection and for providing them with food and shelter in their youth and blinded herself to how much she and her younger siblings helped in the endeavor to ensure they all survived. When they were grown and had traveled together for a time Crunch expressed the desire to form a pack and claim a territory and Twix put herself wholeheartedly behind his decision.

When Crunch settled on territory and named her beta female Twix behind even more rigid determined that the pack should succeed. She was firm with her sister Gracia and intolerant of the lazy behavior of her brother Snickers. Worst of all when Crunch chose Alas as a mate Twix found herself in disagreement. She urged her brother to wait and find a stronger more capable female, Twix believed Alas was only there to bring trouble and that the pink female would never really make her brother happy. As time passed however Twix came to see all the good Alas brought to the pack and learned to tolerate and care for the female yet her gruff attitude towards her remained. When Musketeer and Butterfinger arrived Twix was pleased both to have the pack expand and to see such diligent workers, she stripped Snickers of his role as lead hunter and gave the position to Musketeer angering her brother.

As time passed and Alas brought Tempeste and Venera into the pack and other non family members joined the lands Twix found herself uncomfortable. She relented to pupsitting and despite not wishing to came to care very much for her adopted nieces. When Crunch and Alas had their first litter however her pride and happiness were apparent to all. Ever intolerant of any males not in her family Twix remained solitary. She feared that falling in love would tear her away from the family she loved more then anything. She was a doting aunt and loving sister and cousin.

As young Frey grew Twix was constantly there to remind him to follow the examples of his father. Twix was certain that someday soon Crunch and Alas would announce Frey as the next alpha and she was determined to ensure he was properly trained for the role. Twix was perhaps the most stunned when Crunch and Alas announced instead that Tempeste their adopted daughter was to be the next alpha and from then on Twix slowly retreated and isolated herself to border patrols as the inevitability of her growing age crept upon her.

When the war with Agua Azul was finished Twix found herself even more angered and distraught for almost two generations the two packs had been bitter enemies and now Alas and Tempeste had ensured a peace between them. Alas spoke to Twix firmly and for the first time with the authority of an alpha and not the love of a sister. Twix gained a new sense of respect for her brothers mate and began her search for a replacement beta. The subtle ache of loneliness lingered in her heart but Twix was determined to fill that void with the training of her successor.

…Yet now something comes to rip Twix away from all that is known and loved and leave her completely alone.




To those of us who knew the pain
Of Valentines that never came...
It was long ago and far away
The world was younger then today

Venda was a kind hearted lone wolf, often she found her vision swimming oddly distorted and causing her temporary blindness. Her mother raised her alone until one day she was taken out by a deer hoof to the head, leaving Venda an orphan teen. Venda learned to make her own way and soon longed for a pack to join.

Venda traveled towards the ocean where the temperature was cooler then the plains. She came finally to a cliff heavy with the scent of a pack, Agua Azul. Upon hearing the whimpering of a wolf Venda went to investigate and found a lynx torturing a yellow male. What followed changed her life forever, more then her first lone hunt, more then her mothers death, more then the swimming visions and blindness.

As Venda tried to aid the poor wolf she was back to the edge of the cliff and taunted by the lynx the wolf lunged and took out Venda's eyes with painful precision. She fell from the cliff and felt the power of the ocean devour her and the salty sea sealed and stung her eyeless sockets.

The waves tossed Venda to the shore and there she was found by Twist and Alas of the Agua Azul pack, after being tormented by Twist and soothed by Alas Venda found the strength to flee out of fear of the pack. She blacked out far from the packlands and when she woke she was in a camp full of humans. They tended her poor eyeholes and covered them with a blindfold, and gave her the name 'Venda'. After a long time as the two leggers pet Venda found herself longing for the company of her own kind.

Striking out into the forests once more after a night slip away Venda found her new blind state frustrating and painful to deal with, she spent most of her time laying still to catch her prey, and the rest clumsily tripping over things and running into trees and bushes. Finally her sense of sound and smell sharpened and she managed to gain some mild control over things with only ocassional accidents.

Venda has since befriended Phobos, a kind male whose scent and sense of the world she enjoys. Stryder has also become her friend after she shared some time with the muted wolf and happily she was able to hear him speak for the first time in many moons when his muzzle was frayed on a rock edge. She still hopes for a pack someday and some semblance of normalcy, but in her heart she wishes for vengeance and fears that no pack will take a wolf who might be more burden then aid.

In recent times Venda has traveled alone with her sharper sense of smell and direction. She managed to find her way close to the Agua Azul pack and her powers as a Seer have begun to flare within her. She is often rendered immobile and wracked with pain as visions flash in her minds eye. Venda has not yet managed any control of her visions and they come and go at random leaving her with excruciating pain each time.

Born the last in a small litter Moranna was almost certainly destined for death from the day she took her first breath. Moranna's earliest memories are of being with her mother in the cold damp den and each night the warm safe scent of her father leaving food. Despite her mothers harsh treatment of her and her siblings Moranna always loved and worried for Necrala.

Finally one day Musketeer came to take his children away from the cold dark den and their mother. Moranna can remember their voices above, her father asking their mother to join them. She cried for her mother, but soon she and her siblings were safe in their new pack. Within Akiiki Chibale the pups found love, warmth, and tenderness. Moranna and her siblings remained very close, and alongside them now were their adopted cousins Venera and Tempeste. The five pups grew up under the watchful eyes of the pack who warned them away from the lands near the sea.

Moranna often spent her youth trying to prove she was 'normal' but her ill health often stopped her efforts and sent her into fits, or caused her to pass out. Plagued by chest pains and coughing fits Moranna had to remain out of any training to fight or hunt lest she over exert herself and die.

As she grew into adulthood it became clear that Moranna would become an omega through no choice of her own, thanks to her pack's love though it was not as unfavorable a position as it may have been to others.

Moranna wandered from the pack one day and was almost kidnapped by the fanatical and insane wolf, Tornado. She vowed to remain away from Agua Azul as she had been warned to and from then on took greater care not to leave her packs lands.

One rainy night, as she was helping her cousin Venera give birth she was startled to discover that her father had a litter that needed care as well. When all the pups but one died Moranna left the den to confront her father. Feeling angry and betrayed, heartbroken that he would ever dare mate with anyone after her mother Moranna left with angry words between them. She wandered all night and by dawn realized that she had left the safety of the packlands. Feeling a twinge of remorse and concern Moranna turned to head back home only to be captured by Tornado.

I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out heaven save me
But I'm down to one last breath

Tempeste was taken from her family in the Agua Azul pack when she was but a few days old, she has no memory of her true parents or siblings and was raised by Crunch and Alas as their own daughter in Akiiki Chibale alongside her adopted sister Venera. Tempeste never knew she and Venera were not true sisters and she attributed her coloring to throwbacks since her cousins possessed some similar tones.

Tempeste always found herself loved dearly by her parents, but often she would find her mother watching her with guilt filled eyes. Trying hard to prove herself to her parents Tempeste adopted her father as a role model and encouraged by her aunt Twix trained hard to emulate him. Tempeste can be quite uptight in regards to rules, duties, and training but she has a real soft spot for her sister Venera.

Wether or not she agrees Tempeste will almost always support her sister and combined her keen intelligence with muscle to solve most problems. Despite her intolerance for weakness in herself Tempeste is very compassionate towards her weaker pack mates and watches out for them.

So far away we wait for the day
For the light source so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on!
