Luhan and Xiumin, two young wolves, were playing in the wilderness under the watchful eyes of their mother. The sun was setting, and Mother called out to them, "Luhan, Xiumin, go to sleep now. You need rest, my little pups." "Okay, Mom!" the two replied in unison and scurried off to their den. As they settled down, their energy gradually waned, giving way to weariness. Meanwhile, Kris, their younger brother, rushed after them. However, Mother had something on her mind. She approached Thunder, the wise leader of the 4th pack of legends, and asked, "Thunder, can I talk to you for a moment?" "Of course, Mom," Thunder replied, sensing the seriousness in her tone. "I don't want to disturb the pups tonight. It's a red moon tonight," Mother said with concern etched on her face.  "War," Thunder echoed, understanding the weight of her words. He couldn't help but feel sorry for Mother, who was also pregnant with Current's baby. But war waited for no one. "You go rest, Mom. I'll lead the pack into battle," Thunder offered, knowing the responsibility that lay ahead. Nodding appreciatively, Mother walked away, leaving Thunder alone with his thoughts. As he pondered the impending war, another wolf approached, his fur peppered with the sands of time - Hourglass, the one who controlled the flow of time. "Hey, are you okay?" Hourglass asked with concern evident in his eyes. "My guardian, I'm alright, besides the fact that the red moon will rise tonight, and we'll be at war with the infamous Red Force again," Thunder replied heavily and let out a sigh. "But the red moon hasn't risen in years," Hourglass exclaimed, a tinge of worry in his voice. "What has caused its return?" "Darkfeather happened," Thunder explained, his voice tinged with sadness. "He desired this new generation of wolves, and he wanted it fast." Hourglass furrowed his brow, unable to comprehend the transformation of Darkfeather, who had once been a fierce, respected warrior. "I don't know what happened to him," Thunder continued, his voice filled with a mix of regret and confusion. "All I know is that my son will lead this new pack of legends, and they will not give up easily." As the night grew darker and the moon started its ascent to the sky, Thunder couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding. He knew that the impending battle would test their limits and challenge their unity. But with the strength of his pack, the guidance of Hourglass, and the unwavering love of his family, Thunder held onto hope for a better future. And as the red moon reached its apex, bathing the land in an eerie glow, Thunder vowed to protect his pack and preserve the legacy of their ancestors. For the wolves of this generation would become legends, rewriting the history of their kind with their courage, loyalty, and unyielding spirit.
