Yuna finds herself thrusted into a task that carries the weight of the entire world on her shoulders as she sets out to acquire the elemental orbs of Fire, Air, Water, and Earth-the very lifeblood of existence. She ventures into the unknown, her pat...
Deep slumber took over Yuna until her eyes slowly opened to a world of darkness, guided only by the shimmering and glittering of the moonshine - Galaxy Water. "I must be dreaming", Yuna thought to herself. She began to run, her paws carrying her towards the four glowing lights in the distance, she felt a gravitational pull towards them, almost as if the universe itself was guiding her steps. The voices calling out for help stirred a sense of compassion within her, compelling her to press forward. And then, the Great Alphas materialized before her, their presence commanding the very essence of the universe itself. Each alpha exuded an aura of power and wisdom that transcended time and space, their forms were a tapestry of ethereal grace.
Yuna's eyes widened in awe and reverence. "We are the Great Alphas," one of them spoke, their voice resonating with the ancient wisdom of the cosmos. She listened intently, feeling a sense of awe and reverence for these wise, otherworldly beings. "The planet was once a beautiful place," one of them spoke. "But now it lies in ruins. Since you arrived on Earth, you have seen for yourself the damage that has been done. The surroundings are strange to you, and it's quite dangerous and different from how it was before." She looked at the Great Alphas with a determined expression.
"I know that I have been chosen to restore everything," she said. "But I need to know - what is the purpose of the symbol on my paw?", she continued. The Great Alphas exchanged a knowing glance before one of them spoke. "During the creation of the universe, we created a power known as the Ultimate Source," they explained. "However, we realized that it would be much too powerful if it were combined into one, so we decided to split it into four - the Main Four Elements: Water, Air, Fire, and Earth. The symbol on your paw is the key to combining all four elements into the ultimate power. It was meant to protect and keep every fellow wolf safe in times of danger from enemies or restore balance."
Yuna listened intently, feeling a sense of awe and responsibility wash over her. "Why me?" she asked. "Why was I blessed with this symbol?" "We chose you because we knew that the next fellow wolf to receive it would be strong-minded, with a caring heart, pure mind, and soul," the Great Alphas replied. "We decided to take another chance, having faith that one day, a fellow wolf could use the ultimate power for good, not evil." The revelation of the Ultimate Source and the significance of the symbol on her paw enveloped Yuna in a whirlwind of emotions. She understood now the gravity of her role as the chosen one, entrusted with the power to restore balance and protect her fellow wolves from the encroaching darkness. "I understand. I will do my best to honor and protect the power that has been entrusted to me," she replied. The Great Alphas nodded in approval.
"Once this is all over, what will happen to the symbol on my paw?" Yuna asked. "The symbol will remain with you as long as you do not commit any acts of violence towards your fellow wolves or until the end of your natural life. If either of these events occurs, you will no longer be the chosen one, unless a miracle happens," the Great Alphas explained. Her brows began to furrow, not understanding. The weight of their words hung in the air like constellations. "What kind of miracle?", curiosity piqued her. "That is something you will have to discover for yourself, little wolf," the Great Alphas replied cryptically.
The Great Alphas bestowed their final words of guidance upon her, and Yuna felt a sense of peace and assurance wash over her. With a grateful nod, she prepared to continue her journey, knowing that she carried within her the spark of the cosmos and the strength of a thousand stars. Yuna nodded as she understood. "Thank you for your guidance, Great Alphas. But before I go, how will I know my way to find the Orbs?", she inquired. "Do not worry, we will guide you as you continue on your journey. Now go, Yuna. Your fellow wolves are counting on you," the Great Alphas said, before letting out a harmonious howl, then the dream faded.

Yuna's eyes fluttered open, surprised to see that the sky was already beginning to darken. Had she slept for that long? As she looked around the cave, her gaze fell upon Shadow, who was lying nearby. She attempted to move but winced in pain as she felt a sharp twinge in her hind leg. Shadow's ear perked up at her groan, and he quickly rose to his feet. "Ah, you're finally awake," he said with a hint of relief in his voice. "What are you doing here? I thought I told you not to involve yourself in this," Yuna replied, her tone firm. "How about a little gratitude?" Shadow shot back. "I never asked for your help. And besides, I'm fine," she retorted. "Fine!? You were unconscious when we found you. If we hadn't brought you here to recover, who knows what might have happened."
"Who is 'we'?" Yuna asked. Her curiosity piqued. "Me, Sparrow, and that feisty little Water wolf," Shadow replied. "Her name is Aqua," she corrected him. "Right, my bad," he rolled his eyes. Just then, Sparrow and Aqua arrived. In her mouth, she had two hares, while Sparrow had brought a large bird. "Oh, you're finally awake! I was so worried about you," Aqua exclaimed as she rushed over to hug her. Yuna smiled, and was grateful for her concern. "I'm alright, Aqua. Don't worry," she reassured her.
Shifting her gaze towards the two wolves, Aqua's ears pointed backwards while letting out a small whine, "I'm sorry for earlier. I just wanted to protect her."
"It's okay, we understand," Sparrow nodded. Shadow on the other hand, felt something off. His golden orbs stared at her intently as he spoke, "There is one thing we don't know yet from you. You asked for our names, but you never told us yours."
She was hesitant to reveal her name but replied anyway, "It's Yuna." "Yuna", Shadow repeated it in his mind. "Such a unique and... strange name," he thought to himself. After what seemed like hours, the small pack slept, except for Yuna, whose mind kept thinking about the dream she had with the Great Alphas. She kept tossing and turning then finally got up, limping out of the cave.
Her figure stood in the silent forest, taking a breath from her troubles. This journey was going to be a challenge. Her mind was so deep in thought that not even a loud whisper could disturb her, until a harsh nudge tapped her, causing her body to flinch. Before a sound could break the silence, a huge black paw covered her muzzle.
Yuna quickly shifted her gaze towards the dark figure, recognizing it. "You almost scared me half to death Shadow!", she snapped at him as her heart thumped against her chest, out of fear. "It was the only way to get your attention. I tried calling you but it seemed like you were deaf. So, I did what I had to do", he protested. She scoffed at his action.
"What are you doing at this time of night anyway?", he questioned. Her eyes blinked a few times before giving a response, "I've been having some deep thoughts, is all." Shadows ear twitched at her reply. Not that he even cared of what anyone felt or thought, except his "brother", but something about it just seemed to spark his interest. "I see. Care to tell what thoughts have been running in that mind of yours", his voice was low.
"Well not exactly thoughts but a dream. It was quite strange yet so ethereal. I saw four lights, and each had a different color. I couldn't see anything else, not until the Great Alphas appeared. It was utterly astounding", Yuna sighed, remembering the moment.
"What else, happened?", he asked bluntly without a tinge of anything, yet he was eager to know. "I asked what the symbol meant on my paw. They told me that during the time of creation, they had made this symbol to use ultimate power when the four elements were combined. It was meant for good use, not for evil. I am worried if something will bad happen to me, just like the fellow wolf", she sighed.
"I think you're overthinking too much", he slightly rolled his eyes. Her mouth had a slight frown, but then switched to a normal resting position. She stood quiet yet her mind was loud. She sighed and turned her head towards him, "You're right, I guess I'm just overthinking. But , thanks for hearing me out, I guess." Her gaze captured his dull golden eyes, igniting something within his darkened soul.
