Once upon a time there was a wolf who was hungry for power. He and his pack mates were known to kill for strength and fame. They killed countless innocent wolves, including the weak and young. They trampled over packs and forced them out of existence. The pack was the strongest pack throughout the forests, there wasn't a single wolf who hasn't heard of them. Their leader was known as Kobalt. Even mentioning his name sent shivers down every living thing's spine. Kobalt and his pack, ShadowHaze had much land and prey that flowed like a river. Sometimes they'd even kill for sport, just to leave the carcasses to rot.

One bright and sunny morning Kobalt felt like practicing his hunting on his own.
"Hey ari watch the pack will ya?"
Ari, Kobalt's soon to be mate replied with certainty "I will!"
"Thanks my little pot of honey." Kobalt said with glee as he trailed off into the glowing forest.

The trees were illuminated by the morning Sun's soft light. Many colourful birds flew from tree to tree. The forest had a soft buzz of life. After a while Kobalt trotted around with a few rabbits and a small, plump bluebird who unluckily fell out of it's nest. Kobalt decided to head over to the edge of his territory. He set his prey down and looked out to the massive, green valley that went out for miles. Kobalt then turned his head towards his own Territory and smiled with pride. He owned so much territory.

As Kobalt picked up his prey and headed back to the pack grounds he smelled an unfamiliar scent. He knew it wasn't the rabbit, not the bird. He set his prey down and noticed a tanish Brown shewolf in the distance. She looked weak and frail, ribs showing from her sides, but Kobalt didn't sense any of her fear in the air. He trotted toward the helpless she wolf and sneered.
"Oh so I seem to have intruders?"
The she wolf just started at him.
"Hey! Do you know who is talking to you? It's I the mighty Kobalt, leader of the ShadowHaze pack."
"Surely you've heard of my strength. I could kill you faster then you can blink!"
The she wolf finally spoke.
"No need to explain yourself. I indeed have heard of what you call the mighty Kobalt."
Kobalt replied in an angered tone, "What do you mean!? Are you trying to insult my title? If you don't know, surely every wolf knows this, my strength earned me my title!"
"Yeah. You killing innocent, helpless pups and wolves makes you strong." The she wolf replied sternly.
"Listen I don't know who you are, but you better leave. This is my territory, and if you don't I will tear you into shreds!"
Kobalt snarled and bared his teeth. His fur raised as he slowly drew closer to the shewolf.
"My name is Karma and I have no intention of leaving. Someone has a debt to pay me." She replied, unopposed.
"Fine you asked for it!"
He snarled once more and charged onto the shewolf. He clawed at her and easily tore her frail skin as if it was made of paper. The shewolf quickly fell to the ground, blood dripping from every claw mark. She was covered in claw marks and blood. Kobalt went over to the defeated shewolf and bit her throat.
"Weak as I assumed! You're possibly the weakest opponent I've ever fought!"
He bit down onto her neck and opened her main blood vessel in her neck. He stood up with pride knowing she would die instantly.

Kobalt, with his head held high, grabbed his kill and trotted off with pride to his pack grounds. He couldn't wait to tell his pack mates another one of his great stories.
As he trotted off the shewolf slowly arose from the ground, laughing she said,
"Just as I would of assumed. Killing weak and helpless wolves is always how you gain your power. You should have no pride in that!" She screeched in a raspy tone.
"For that your debt has been risen!"
Kobalt turned and looked at her with a questioned face.
"I killed her!" He thought.
"Maybe I missed the blood vessel..? No I couldn't have."
