Plot

The guardians of the mist... That's what these wolves have been called since the beginning of time. Legend has it that long ago, this valley was once filled with wondrous creatures and among them the gods walked. The wolves of those times were not as they are today, no. Those wolves were giants, easily reaching the size of a pony and sometimes taller. All this changed however when one day, one of the wolves desired to become human, to be able to change between forms just as the gods could.

In his foolishness, he angered the gods, and in doing so they cursed him and all his descendants to be forever bound as wolves and also to be bound that valley. This curse not only made it impossible for the wolf to achieve his goal but it also made him bitter and in his rage at being denied what he saw as a simple desire of the heart, he attacked the very god that had spoken the curse over his bloodline. There in that valley, that day a god died, and even as the god's blood ran down the wolf's throat, he laughed and laughed at the wolf's folly knowing the creature has sealed his own fate.

That was centuries ago, and now every winter the wolves that remain in the valley mourn the death of that god, and curse the folly of their ancestor that brought this curse upon them. However, not all the wolves and their bloodlines were cursed. There are still some, who were spared and thus were granted the power to take a human form, but for this gift there was also a price. They could only take a human form on the winter solstice, the very day when their kindred were cursed. The gods of this place not only gave life to the wolves and the other creatures but they also created humans. The humans of this place, like the wolves envied each other and thus the gods allowed them to chose another form, be it wolf or else that they wanted and they became the shapeshifters.

Summary
None at the moment

+ Sebastian +

Sebastian's coat flowed from silver, to gray, to white and then black and back again as he rose. Stretching lazily the self-appointed alpha, padded out of the small pack's den, and yawned, looking out from the ridge at the beautiful misty expanse of forest that belonged to his pack and his pack alone. Shaking his fur out, he looked over his shoulder and back into the den at his still sleeping comrades. Nodding to himself in satisfaction he trotted off down the spiral 'staircase' of rocks and vines that led down from the pack den and into the valley below. His shimmering, plumed tail swayed to and fro as he walked, and the morning dew clung lightly to his fur, making it damp.

The valley around him was silent, even with his passing and only a few insects fled from his large paws. The daily routine was usually the same...Patrol an area of his territory, return to the pack den, wake up the others, lazy around in the morning sun, bicker with Dreamer if he felt like it, retreat into the forest at noon to escape the rising sun and heat, doze off until mid-afternoon, lead the pack on a run and finally as the moon rose full and sorrowful, lead the pack on a hunt.

The large male lupine dipped his muzzle into the cool, almost icy stream and his ears pricked upward, swiveling ever so often as they scanned the surrounding area. Lifting his nose from the water, he shook his head and continued on, his patrol. It had been nearly a year since he'd seen any outside wolves cross into this part of the valley and his partial grateful for it. Though that also meant that he was stuck dealing with only his small pack, and as far as he was concerned, that prospect wasn't exactly...exciting or entertaining.

Flexing his claws and digging them into the soft, dew ridden ground as he moved, Sebastian almost sighed at the quiet. It would be another hour before the sun rose, and it in that time he would no doubt find himself either back at the pack den or at the great river that served as the border for his lands. If he crossed that river, he'd be in another pack's territory, and at present he didn't exactly feel like fighting. While his pack, the Ridgewalkers was peaceful, although admittedly insane, the Avari were if anything the complete polar opposite. Now that he thought about it, it was a wonder Dreamer and Silence had blended into his pack so well, despite the fact that they'd come from the Avari.

Making a mental note to ask Dreamer or even Silence about their former pack, he nodded to himself and set off at a brisk trot, seeing as he'd slowed as his thoughts deepened. He still had nearly a mile of forest to scan before the sun rose, after all.
