Chapter 1

It was a dark evening, the moon came sooner then it should have, the large peaks of the enormous mountains sprung upwards as the sun had been set behind it. A lake, which held the main meal for bears; salmon, they splayed around the last few hours of the day, causing ripples to shred through the cool clear water, and the abrupt night began to take place of the sun.
Stars sparkled the sky, like little pieces of glitter stuck to a canvas which the stained colors of black, purple, and a dark blue, the colors began to swirl in the wonderful drift sky as the moon slowly moved against the worlds speed, making night someplace else. Jigsaw, a large wolf, was studying the darkness that covered the sky, squinting, he watched as the stars gleamed, making a reflection in his eyes, then a shock of color splashed the sky as a stream of gold struck the Galaxy, green, gold, yellow, and a light purple shocked the sky as it spreader across the plains, thus, making the void of Crikaent Peak.
Crikaent Peak is a mountain, a large mountain that holded a crystal void, and the skies most proud possession; colors. Only on special occasions would these colors gleam within the Galaxy, and today had been special, the release of a wolf, who had finally passed, her name which was Nicrum, jigsaw's mother, though the death was peaceful and beautiful, it still made the wolves cry for the moon, sending her soul to the best place, the Void, though no wolves have traveled their, knowing it would be to dangerous, many speak of it, causing it to be a place of mourning and justice.
At every death packs will rejoice and mourn their death, howls fill the quiet air as the most beautiful sound shall be heard. Packs from there region all gather for a feast, and Jigsaw, which was the only of child Nicrum, was soon crowned Alpha of Enchanted Tidal Pack, knowing he had to be leader, he had the largest job out of the members of the pack, his guidance of his teacher helped him through speeches and traditional heritages, as well as the packs rankings and hunts. He was well fit for this action and deserved it greatly, seeing this pack was very important towards his mother.
Jigsaw has a black pelt, and a crimson red line across his eyes and side, showing that he was alpha, triangle-like white fur was spreader throughout his back lining, his eye hue being the color of a clear blue lake, and to top it off he wore a stone necklace with his mother's canine tooth attached to it, the rope which was hide, and a blue stone that was smooth and had a shiny glow to the side, all pack alpha's wore these to show their identity, after every mourning the sons or daughters all pick out their parents corpse tooth and attach it to the necklace. This was a weird tradition that many packs use in their region.
Speeches were made after his mothers death, causing the feast and the ceremony for the alpha, which was now Jigsaw. One of Jigsaw's closets friend were Merdon, which was a female, with a nice built body, and a young fragile look, her pelt color was of course, white, and her eye hue was a golden shade, she had to small dots then a line streak under both eyes, and Dalkti, which was a male, he was only a bit smaller then Jigsaw, he had wore red war paint under his eyes and his pelt was the shade of black and grey, his eye hue being green, they both were ranked co- alphas seeing that Jigsaw put much trust into them.
Jigsaw's voiced hummed as his deep voice slashed through the silence, his friend beside him, "Dalkti, analysis on the last buffalo hunt" he spoke without giving eye contact, then Dalkti spoke, his voice rumbling in his throat " four wounded, one killed, the injuries of course, were handled and still are being handled, but we are running low on resources for the wounds, should I arrange a hunt for the resources and plants?" He finished "yes! We can't risk killing anymore wolves, it would be murder, and how about the guards in training? How are they doing so far?" Jigsaw asked "They are learning the back training, and the tackle and call process, they should learn those techniques by the end of this month, they are just learning how to howl the specific call" Dalkti said his eyes innocent with pleasure "ahh yes," Jigsaw faced him "we shall be ready for the next hunt within next month, spring is almost here! The guards shall be ready by then, then we can move on to the newest hunters" Jigsaw cheered in a way but showed no emotion, he stood up, his paws scraping the floor of the halter cave, he walked into the sunlight seeing his friend "Hey Jigsaw! " Merdon spoke softly her voice calm with a smile, "Hello Merdon, how are you this evening?" Jigsaw asked "Very well, um... The pups are doing great! They shall be able to learn the rules and be able to adjusts the techniques of hunting soon, which is pleasant, and Diplo, your son , will be in special training soon," Merdon says her eyes kind and filled with love, "Thank you Merdon, I will be back soon," Jigsaw began to walk toward the large cave that held small pups, but the largest one so far, was Diplo, Jigsaw's son, "Diplo!" jigsaw called out as he saw most of pups playing and tackling each other with playful bites, then Diplo was seen tackling and biting a pup which was smaller then him. "Hey there you are son!" Jigsaw smiled as he lowered his cranium to grasp Diplo's tuff of his shoulder, Diplo struggled to get free from his grip but failed, knowing his strength was nothing compared to his father "hey! Hey! Get off me!!" he says his playful cry squirmed as Jigsaw put Diplo down, "Diplo!" Jigsaw said, as he lowers his head and paw behind his back to give him a hug, knowing, that Diplo would be sent away for alpha in training, he would only get to see him during certain times. "Dad! I made a new friend!" Diplo said as he jumped and frolics around, "oh really? What was his or her name?" Jigsaw smiled gently as he leaned down beside his sons head " I think her name was Arvel, she is nice and I think I'm going to the same camp as her!" He excavated, excited Jigsaw smiled happily "that's good, tell her she is aloud at the Alpha's cave anytime she wants" he said smiling though Diplo wouldn't be leaving for camp in a while until a year or so, they will still be going to the same cave everyday until the parents are done with the hunts and speeches. As Jigsaw carried Diplo home they were greeted by a wolf that was not as highly ranked, he was ranked a omega for his terrible deeds with Jigsaw mother, Nicrum. He spoke to them, his name being Jadum, "sorry to interrupt your little walk, dearly alpha but this is quite important,"though this wolf was omega, he was smart and was good at trickery, Jigsaw's mother keeping him away from Jadum, "I have seen that your mate, um what was her name? Ahh yes, Jises, has been murdered a couple years ago, I just wanted to say sorry for your loss, though it is quite a long time ago, I mr did get to meet you" Jadum said, his keen smile stained his face, Jigsaw never told Diplo how, or where Jises was, she was murdered a month after Diplo's birth to a different pack, this was invalid information that many didn't even know about, it was sadden trashed which led to Jigsaw with deep depression, he holds, her canine tooth on his necklace that he had been given when crowned alpha.
After Jadum telling and reminding Jigsaw of his mates murder, led to Diplo into madness, "Why didn't you tell me dad? Why!" Diplo screamed leading him to cry, "I wanted to keep you safe, I didn't want to hurt you" Jigsaw says, his eyes filled with innocence and love, but Diplo's show aggression and hate, "how could you not tell me?" He screamed "it was too hard to tell you at the time" jigsaw sighed, "why couldn't you tell me any other time!?" Diplo screamed as tears streamed down his fur, "Diplo stop!" Jigsaw yelled his voice deep, "no!" His son screamed, "how can you not tell me? Why didn't you tell me? Why did you hide it from me?" He cried Jigsaw yelled once more before slashing his sons face with his right paw, hitting his eye making it bleed, it took jigsaw a moment to realize what he had done, Diplo screamed louder as the unleashing pain led his face to bleed, he squirmed on the ground, "oh no! Diplo I'm-" Diplo screamed "get away from me!" Jigsaw still ran to him to comfort him, though his son tried to push him away, he couldn't the pain that his eye felt was making him weak. "Merdon!" Jigsaw screamed needing for her assistance, "yes! " Merdon appeared in the caves entrance, "we need some cloth! And hurry, no tile for questions" he said as the weeps to Diplo got louder "on it" Merdon said running out of the cave and returning with a white but dirty cloth between her maw, she gave it to Jigsaw to to carefully wrap around his son's head, "Now, if you don't mind me asking; what in hell happened?" Merdon asked while putting her hind legs to a rest as she sat, "he hit his face on a rock...." Jigsaw lied, looking over his son that was too numb and tired to talk.

Months later after the accident, Diplo was much bigger, but something about him was different, he showed not much emotion, he didn't really like his father after the hit, and there was a large unleashing scar over his left eye, almost making him entirely blind, he was cold, and was much stronger, his friend, Arvel still were friends, but he didn't exactly have time to do anything, seeing that he was always busy training, even off duty he was still training, hard. Arvel wanted to take him out of the camp one day to ask him why he acted so different, of course he denied, " Look, Arvel I'm not in the mood to go anywhere!" Diplo said "your never in the mood to go anywhere! Please Diplo!" Arvel pleaded her eyes filled with love and attention, Diplo giving her direct eyecontact "oh fine! But only for a few mins" Diplo stood up, his well built body was only a few inches taller then Merdon, they began walking, as they passed their pack's border they reached a lake that was surrounded by ceder trees and redwood trees, a large rock with moss attached to it laid in the middle of the shade, they stepped up, "why are you acting so different Diplo? You used to be the most fun out of the whole pack? Now your just...cold..." She asked, Diplo began "Things have changed since I was a pup, I learned hate and fear, also saddened lies." "Why do you have these feelings? Diplo?" She asked her voice was kind and calm, "Because..." His voice was shaky " of what my dad did to me, this scar? He did it, he slashed at me, causing this scar."
