The Legend Of Snowfire

Chapter 4

Snowfire ran on the cold planet known as Saturza. She flew with the other Eclipolves. My home. My wolves. My family! Snowfire smiled, looking at the different breeds around her. Suddenly, a demonic wolf jumped from red fire, thrashing its claws through the cold air. Wolves started to drop out of the sky, lifeless.

"My wolves!" Snowfire screamed through the bloody night. The demon turned and dashed towards her at full speed. Snowfire couldn't move. Her wings froze and locked by her sides. Falling.. Falling...Falling...

"NO!!" Snowfire awoke from her hellish dream. Streak and Skar jumped at the loud outburst.

"What happened?" Skar whispered, still shaken up.

"Nightmare." Snowfire monotoned, staring at the far wall.

"What happened in your nightmare, i was asking." Snowfire looked him dead in the eyes.

"My wolves. My family. My home." She started to cry. Then she started to explain the vision. Skar stared into her watering eyes as she talked, as if crystals were falling down her face.

"It was just a nightmare, Snowfire. It wasn't re-"

"Skar I wouldn't have this nightmare if something was wrong! Don't you understand? The wolves are our pack, the home is here, in Stafaozen clan, my family is you guys. The demon that attacked us was Alyla." Snowfire sobbed, slamming her head into her paws. Skar and Streak looked at each other, worried. They read each other's minds.

Snowfire wasn't considered "normal" to other wolves. She could do things only Lupus, the wolf god, would consider only doing. She could see visions, mind read, and other mystic powers. The older she gets, the more powerful she would become.

"Snowfire, if that does ever happen, it won't be for a while. She needs to strengthen her army and have a plan. A small star will never overcome an experienced, bigger star without a plan." Skar patted her back gently. Snowfire wiped her dried tears off her face and smiled a bit. Skar smiled back. It was the most beautiful thing he has seen in days.

The three wolves went into their training for the upcoming war.
Snowfire was in Battle training, Skar was in Defensive training, and Streak was in Forging training. Training lasted for 7 hours then they eat. Sleeping was to be chosen whenever they please.

"So how was training?" Skar asked everyone once they were settled in the den. Snowfire was the first to respond.

"I reviewed about skill of stealth and how to attack airborne." Snowfire said, sketching in the dirt with her claw.

"I learned how to make battle paws. They're paws made out of metal with large and extremely sharp claws.

"I learned how to block speed attacks. I never knew some of this stuff was taught in trainings!" Skar exclaimed, accidently kicking up some dirt into Snowfire's face. She didn't even flinch.

"Are you still upset about the whole nightmare?" Streak asked, not knowing how rudely she did. Snowfire snarled and turned her head to face Streak.

"Excuse me?" She growled, stomping her paw on Streak's head. Her eyes glowed red, changing the whole color of her coat to a dark grey.

"Snowfire stop it!" Skar shoved her off of the whelping wolf.

"Bite me." Snowfire challenged.

Is she CRAZY!? Skar thought. He knew he would lose immediately. She slowly walked back to her spot and folded her ears back as a sign of aggression.

"Really Streak?" Skar whispered. Streak gave a sheepish grin.

"I didn't mean to ask so rudely." Her nervous smile turned to a sad expression.

"Snowfire? You okay?" Streak whispered. Snowfire was sitting at the entrance of the cave again. She told them before she liked that spot so she could watch the stars and planets circulate around the planet.

"I'm sorry for acting so rudely towards you, Streak. I didn't mean to get too rageful."

"I committed an error, Snowfire." She sat next to her.

"We all make mistakes, Streak. You are right, I need to move on from the vision and focus on right now."

"True. Like Skar said, it won't be for a while until the happens. Alyla.. I hate that name. It's like listening to a pup howl. It makes me want to cringe and the sound of it. She abused me when Skar took me in since my mum left me."

"What happened to your da?" Snowfire looked at her with misty eyes.

"I don't know." She responded.

"We should get some rest. Tomorrow, we have to step up another few levels in all training groups." Streak yawned. They both walked to their caribou pelts and fell asleep.
