A WHITE WOLF - A New Den

Prologue

The moon rose above the trees, Olisa perked her dark brown furred ears. Her beige shape hidden, showing a brown throughout the whole Nighthowl. Though one shape that could be recognised in a whole pack of twinkling Snowskies, was Bianco, his white pelt highly clear to see.

"Olisa, my dear moon. What are you doing out here?" Bianco gestured to the night sky with every word he let out. "It's late."

Olisa looked at him, a truly troubled expression from her muzzle to her ears. "I'm worried. Kelenkens have been around the Dripping Stones a lot lately. They could hurt the pups." Olisa frowned, placing her tail in front of her swelling belly.

Bianco looked at her with an understanding gaze, looking at the Nighthowl too. "We can move to the Diamond Waters eventually. For now, just get some rest." Olisa nodded and turned back into the Dripping Stones. Bianco following right after her.

As Nighthowl opened up into Blueskies, Bianco, Olisa and their pups; Nyko, Avalon, Xerxes, Adrut, and Zephyr, quickly following Bianco who was in the lead.

Olisa hung back with her ears down, she didn't know pups would be so much weight for her to carry when travelling, all was well when they first had puppies at Dripping Stones, no distractions or dangers.

Bianco piped up to Zephyr, "Zephyr, go off and help your mother will you?" Zephyr, being the oldest pup of his litter, advanced over to the female direwolf, helping her through swimming, and walking.

Olisa annoyedly waded into the water, giving a growl as it drenched her coat, she was tall enough to still have her head over the water when her belly carried her down, but as much as other wolves loved it, Olisa hated swimming. She used to leap as far as she could across the waters, but there wasn't much hope with her plump shape. Olisa heard the chattering of conures as they headed deeper into Shrouding Vapors, nearing toward the highlands.

Bianco growled as he noticed a large, black coat of a direwolf far off down in the trees. "Be careful everyone, another pack is nearby." He carried on through the trudging snow till they finally were able to get down, reaching to the territory of the Diamond Waters. Green grass and mushroom sprouted everywhere. He endured the moment and saw his pups doing the same, yet Olisa looked tired and drained.

Olisa yawned which let out a quiet whine. She checked out their surroundings then found the Diamond Waters through a thick load of branches. "Perfect." She said, her tail wagging in excitement. She howled and the pups including Bianco tumbled over, entering through the branches and Olisa heard them all let out a gasp. She quickly entered in after, her muzzle departing from her lower jaw to let out a gasp too.

Bianco viewed the beauty of the den, big, bright and really blue. Along with that, there was a huge body of water, and Bianco spotted Nyko jumping right into it with a happy look on his face.

Nyko howled. "Woohoo! Let's live here forever!" He rolled around in the sparkly blue water and his pelt became absolutely drenched.

Bianco let out a chuckle and shook his head, while Olisa seemed amused but displeased with the water getting everywhere. She turned around and found a hollow in the cave for her to rest in. She knew her pups would be soon, anytime now. She just had to prepare.

Zephyr had gathered feathers for the hollows in the cave, turning them into comfy nests. Every wolf was settling in. Xerxes and Sirius happily curling up with each other and their tails slowly wagging. Bianco and Olisa both seated together in the same feathery nest. Whilst the others all stayed apart from each other, happy for the space.

Olisa closed her eyes as she entered through into sleep, a dream overtaking her. It howled to her, "wolves of blue will howl on for moons, but wolves of mist will be for as long as the Snowskies. A pup of yours will have the legacy of mist, you must let them turn into a wolf of diamons, to a wolf of opal." The howl seemed to echo on forever, but what could it mean? The misty woods wolves will be as long as the Snowskies. One of your pups will lead it. Olisa gave a glance through the branches to her ancestors, then went back to sleep, falling onto her side and placing her tail over Bianco's torso.
