Wolves of the Galaxy. IN PROGRESS.
I have never been normal, and I never will be. It's just who I am. Normal is overrated, anyway, in my opinion. It all started hundreds of years ago, with the original Wolves of the Galaxy. Their role has been passed down to me. Now, the fate of the universe depends on my choices. One small mistake, and everything is gone. Forever.
