Dedicated to Akeshia, the most gentle and loving dog of all. You were here when this story began, but had to leave this world before it was done.
"Long ago, when packs of wolves lived in harmony with one another, and food was plentiful, seven guardians protected the land from devestation. Their statues stood high in their cave, overlooking the land. That was until one young and foolish human and his group of friends entered the cave, wanting to steal the treasure inside. Unfortunately, the treasure inside had been taken except for one gem: the Energy Gem. The boy grabbed the gem from the open paw of the wolf statue and chucked it to one of his friends. This angered the Guardians and cave began to collapse in by their anger. The boys ran to the entrance for their life, most of them made it with the gem, except for one. The boy who stole the gem.
"Legend says the boy died when the roof collapsed, and the Guardian of the Energy Gem watches over the land, looking for his lost gem. But rumours have spread, that the Guardians will have their gems back, from a young wolf destined to be this lands saviour."
A light grey female wolf walked across her densite, examining the land before her. She was the Alpha female of the Storm Pack. Her mate stood next to her. This was their land, their pride and joy, well at least it was until their pups were born. Two pups raced out of the den, chasing each other and bowling one another over. The two Alphas turned around to watch their pups and smiled. They knew both pups would be strong warriors and great pack alphas one day, especially the midnight black and light grey pup with a blue gem around her neck on a silver chain.
A young adult wolf raced into the densite, panting hard. "Sir! Ma'am!" He called out. The two Alphas turned their attention to the small brown wolf.
"Scout, what is wrong?" The Alpha male inquired, worry traced his deep voice.
"Rogues," the scout replied, "they've entered the territory." The two alphas eyes widened. "The rest of the pack is trying to hold them off at the border."
The Alpha male nodded, "very well." He began to walk to the edge of the densite, the scout following, as he looked back to his mate, "look after the pups," he said to the Alpha female. She nodded to him as he ran down the hill towards the Storm Pack border. The Alpha female ushered her pups into the den, but was interrupted as a growl ran through the air. She looked up to see a dark grey male wolf standing above the den.
He took a threatening step towards the female and her pups. The Alpha took a step over her pups protecting them. The male wolf smiled and lunged forward.
-----
A silver and white year old female wolf was thrown away. She landed on her side, but quickly rolled onto her stomach. A large black wolf walked dangerously towards the pup. She tried to get up but failed.
"Pathetic runt!" The wolf growled, "not only can you not smell, but you don't even have the strength to fight!" The black wolf now stood in front of his small pup. He reached down to grab the pup by the throat, but failed as he was shoved out the way.
"Leave her alone!" A two year old dark grey wolf stood over the pup, glaring at his father. The black wolf quickly recovered and got to his paws, standing in a battle stance. The grey wolf lowered down to protect his smaller sister.
"Move away, Darkness," the black wolf growled, stalking closer to the two wolves.
"No."
"Move now, or I'll make you."
"Like I said before, 'NO'!" The young male took a threatening step towards the other male.
"Very well," the male growled as he lunged at the younger male.
