[OLD] Wolves in the Stars

Chapter 1- Rescued

In an open area within the Woodland a ball of white light descended from the sky and upon touching the ground morphed into the shape of a small wolf and solidifying into Corro, laying on the ground.

Breathing

but unconscious.

A group of 4 adult wolves were hunting nearby when one of them caught the scent of corro and went over to inspect what wolf could be trespassing in their territory. When she found the young wolf she howled to the others to get them to come over. When they saw the pup, the alpha, Knight, a dark grey coloured wolf, his legs looked like socks coloured a lighter grey almost white and white patches around his eyes, Royal blue furred spots were sprinkled all over his side  . Knight decided to leave Corro .He wasn't their problem anyway. But as they were walking off, Knight saw a shadow of a wolf on the ground in front of him . He stopped. The others couldn't see the shadow and stopped as well looking at their alpha confused.

"Knight?..What is it-what's wrong?" One of the wolves asked

Knight stood still and watched the shadow walk over to Corro, before vanishing.

"....Grab that wolf.. take it back to the den" Knight ordered

"But..alpha-"

"That's an order" Knight replied firmly

And with that one of the wolves lifted Corro ont his back and carried him back to their dens, specifically Knight's den.

As they walked through their territory many wolves apart of their pack watched and noticed the strange unknown wolf being carried towards the home of their leader.

Laterrrrrrrrrr~
When Corro finally awoke it was the middle of the night. The Sky was clear and an ocean of stars filled the void of the black sky. Corro pulled himself to his feet and looked around. At the entrance of the den sat  Knight, looking out with his back turned to Corro. Knight's ears twitched at the sound of Corro getting up

"Good, your awake. You've been out for a day now." Knight said, continuing to look out

Corro said nothing. Beginning to growl defensively and looking around for a possible exit
"Now, now.. There's no need for that. I want to ask you some questions so I can figure out what to do with you"

Corro continued to growl.

"Firstly, do you have a name?" Knight asked

Corro stopped growling, he figured it wouldn't do any good. But he didn't answer him. Instead he wrote it in the dirt with his claw and spelt out his name in wolf language, which is very different to human letters, made of different spherical, twisted and dotted symbols.

Knight turned around and read it.

"Corro?"

Corro nodded.

"Well Corro, I'm Knight. The alpha of this pack. Now I have another question that I think you'll have to answer in your own voice. How did you end up unconscious in the middle of the forest?"

Corro was silent for a while then finally spoke

"I... I don't know.. The last thing I recall was having my parents chasing me.. Attacking me. I hid and they found me and my mother lunged to attack me..then everything went white. Then next thing I know I'm here." He said in a quiet voice

"you were attacked?.. Well that explains all the blood on you."

Corro's attention sparked, he looked at his fur on his side,legs and back expecting to see blood. But his fur was clean. Knight saw this and said to him

" We cleaned up the blood on your fur. May I ask a question?"

"Haven't you already?" Said Corro being smart.

Knight chucked a bit "heh yeah, but I want to ask another. Its not everyday we see a young wolf appears out of no where and being protected by a spirit"

Corro's ears went up in surprise "the spirits talk to you as well?!" He asked eagerly

"No. Only The Gifted Wolves can talk to Spirits. But a spirit was there with you when we found you."

"Oh" he replied disappointed "What are gifted wolves? Is it just a compliment or?"

"Gifted Wolves are wolves granted special abilities or powers by the spirits. Usually a physical enhancement like extreme strength or speed. But in some rare cases it can be a magical power"

Corro was silent after that.

"So now. I want to ask, where your from, where's your family/pack?"

"I don't have a family or a pack... I was born in the deadlands"

Knight got a shock expression

"The deadlands?! Does that mean you're-" he said is a slightly panicked tone

"yeah. My parents were Braxton and Bloodryne... I'm so thankful I finally was able to escape"

Knight took a deep breath and sighed with relief. This young wolf certainly seemed dangerous but he trusted the spirits wouldn't protect a evil wolf

"so I take it you're not in any hurry to go home then, hm?"

"No!! Please don't make me go back there!!" Corro begged disparately.

"hmm... Very well. I'll let you stay here in this pack for a few days while you recover. Then when your at full health you can decide where you want to go"

"Thank you!" Corro cried in delight.

"don't thank me yet. You can rest here for the rest of the night"

"I..don't feel like sleeping right now"

"haha I'm not surprised. Well I certainly do." Knight said as he walked into the back of the den and lay down.

"well goodnight to you" knight said before resting his head on the ground and closing his eyes.

Later when Knight was asleep.

And snoring

Corro sat outside the den looking out to the stars. The starlight reflected in his eyes as he whispered

"Thank you" to the Wolf spirits in the stars.
