chapter 1

In a world lost in time, there were many kinds of wolves but only two kinds of founders. The white and the dark. These wolves had many conflicts which led to many battles and wars throughout the years, but there were rumors of a final battle. This last battle would cause the kingdoms to finally have peace, but in order to do this the wolves will have to call upon their relatives. The white wolves sent their strongest messenger, Icer, to ask queen Whitecrystal if she would help them in this war. Fortunately, she agreed. So she left her Crystal/Ice Empire leaving one of her most trusted friends in charge and went to Snow castle (were the white wolves live). The Ice wolves were as a living ice sculpture for you could only see the outline of their body and their bright, blue, glowing eyes. Sadly the dark wolves had already called their guardians and were preparing their armor for war. Lord Blackgriffien, lord of the flame wolves, and King Trial, king of the dark wolves, were discussing plans for the battle. For the flame wolves they were as a wolf-like shape of flickering or even sometimes wild, fire. As for the armory the dark wolves wore bronze armor, while the flame wolves wore gold armor. The armor pieces were extended battle claws, tail shield, breastplate, and helmet. After the white and ice were done making armor all of them were thinking of doing a powerful trap (since all of these wolves had powers.....duh). Now they had chosen their trap which was called 'Black Begone'. What it does is it chokes (all black wolves within range) and causes the wolf to be overcome with gravity and shock.This results in being stuck to the ground and dying(well,....if you don't die there then the white wolves will just come and kill you). Now moving on to some happier thoughts.The ice wolves prepared armor for themselves and their guardians.The Ice wolf queen, Whitecrystal, wore silver claw armor, helmet (with her initials), breastplate, and tail shield. While the dark king and the fire lord were discussing plans for their trap,

Lord Blackgriffien asked,"Are you sure this will work?''

"milord, do you doubt our plans,"answered king Trial,"We are bound to succeed."

Blackgriffien thought on this and chose his next words carefully.

"No, we are more than prepared, our battle will go well for us."

"Good, then I shall see to the feast preparation."

And with that king Trial walked out of the room with a proud look on his face. Blackgriffien's shoulders slouched and he thought what his mother had told him the night before she died protecting their kingdom.

"Do not forget young one that pride can be the worst enemy and always brings about ones downfall."

A knock came from the door, which startled him dragging him from his thought.

"The feast is ready milord." a servants voice said.

He told himself to look as if he had already won the battle,and trotted out the door.

That night Blackgriffien couldn't get any rest.

He thought to himself about the coming day,

"If our trap does not work the whites will be celebrating the victory tomorrow, while most of us suffer and die. Trial and myself shall have our last breaths tomorrow and I have no heir to take my place.......the fire and dark wolves will no longer exist for all will be wiped from extistance."
