Skar, The Alpha Of Chaos

Chapter 3

Streak and Stamla talked about the Stafire clan and how Stamla should go back and stop it.

"I can't do such a thing, Streak. Forcing a wolf off the throne to rule will break the rules of Starwing. That is the second most important rule here." Stamla explained.

"What about Snowfire? Actually, where is she?"

"She is busy working at another part of Starwing. Lupus needed to her to find rare ore for new armour we are making."

"Can I find her?"

"By the time you make it to where she was, she'll be gone." Streak lowered her head, saddened.

"I know you want to see her but she is extremely busy with Lupus right now."

"I don't want to just see her. We need her help.. The wolves need her help!" Streak cried, burying her face in her paws. Stamla's expression turned to sadness. She remembered Skar's expression when Snowfire left. It was a dark smile. I knew it would happen.. I couldn't say it in front of the wolves. She thought. Streak felt a paw rest on her shoulder.

"I'll see what I can do." Stamla smiled, wiping her tears away. Streak smiled back, standing up to talk to the Alpha.

Streak and Staluna talked about Snowfire and the territory and why it was so magical. Staluna explained why the place has its eerie blue orbs.

"Because of the Eclipolves, the area has orbs of certain visions and memories. They help the wolves figure out problems and situations within Starwing."

"But Eclipolves are a 'curse' to Starwing. Wouldn't their presence in any clan cause aggression and murder?"

"I can see what you mean, Streak, but ever since the war, wolves from all over Starwing heard about Snowfire and her heroism to stopping a disaster that would've lead to catastrophe." Staluna explained, holding one of her orbs. Streak glared into it. Wolves ran perfectly in a hunting pack. Every movement was graceful and beautiful. Suddenly, a large grey wolf collided with the alpha, sending the perfect pack running in every direction. Staluna's vision blurred as the memory faded into black.

"What was that? Who was the great grey?" Streak questioned.

"It was an outsider. He came and disrupted the movement and group. When he did, the prey we were hunting ran off." She said, placing the orb back into a grass patch.

"Do I get orbs?" Streak's eyes sparkled. Now knowing what they were for, she really wanted to her some of her own.

"Memory orbs are only for Eclipolves." Streak's heart dropped as those words came out.

"If Stamla or any other Eclipolf can persuade Lupus, you could become one and start fresh." She pointed at Stamla.

"She doesn't remember anything before she nominated Snowfire as the alpha. Everything before was erased from her memory."

"Why would Lupus erase someone's memory if it could be useful in the future?"

"Because those memories wouldn't be anything but space in her mind." Celestia walked over to a small crackling fire, dropping some raw bones into it for a potion.

"You're a Kraw?" Streak asked.

"That's a strong word, Streak, but yes, I am an alpha Kraw." After the last words came out of her muzzle, the fire began to turn a bright purple, sending ashes of the bones into the air. They rained downwards, slowly and carefully. She held jars, swinging around to catch the burning ash.

"Why do you need those?"

"They are added to certain potions to heal others." She said, giving one to Streak to look at. The ashes floated around the empty jar, still hot from the coals.

"This is fascinating." Streak whispered, shaking the jar.
"It's like a tiny world of snow."

"Only the snow is dead animal bones haha." Celestia laughed, taking back the jar to set with the others.

"Anyway. Do you have any other questions about the territory or the Eclipolves?" Celestia asked, sitting back where she originally was. Streak studied her eyes while she spoke about the history. They had something behind them. Streak didn't want to ask. It would be disrespectful to ask an alpha about their life.

"Your eyes are very beautiful." Streak blabbed.

"And they- wait what?" She cocked her head to the side, confused.

"Oh Lupus i'm so sorry!" Streak covered her muzzle.

"It's alright. I don't go by the strict rules of Starwing." Celestia laughed, wagging her tail.

"But anyway, you should go tell the pups about the details. So they aren't confused about the place. Oh and before you go, if you ever find a cave with glowing walls, NEVER go in there. It's dangerous." Celestia Staluna warned, changing Streak's expression to worry.

Glowing walled cave?? Why can't we enter? Streak pondered, trotting back to the den. The four were asleep. Streak went into the back of the cave, so she wouldn't awaken them with her whispering.

"What would be in that cave? I need to find out." She got up, pushed by curiosity, she ran out into the starry night in search for the mysterious cave..
