*An old story... Perfect to cringe at.*
A dark day of peril leads to a vast land of masked shadows that conjures the compelling elements of magic, soon casting either eternal darkness or light. The choice is up to a future band of wolves, unconscious of their extraordinary powers. But whether these wolves can cease to exist is in the paws of a young canine that lost his parents as well as found a strange new ally on the shrouded day of destruction. This is where it all began, the sea of loss and faith, a brave adventure testing the talents of unprepared wolves. This is the story before victory, behind the schemes of the triumphant conclusion, or so it seems. This is when shadows are born and light is made. Welcome to Ailos.
A heavy storm rumbles through the lands, slaying many innocent wolves. They all find themselves stranded on a magical island called Ailos, with no sense of direction. These wolves have to forage alone or with allies, and brace for what is coming. Storm is one of those wolves, but he is special. Magic has passed through his family and into him, and he is the one key to making a prophecy that will change everything come true. He ventures, making allies and enemies, until he stumbles upon a clearing and comes up with the idea of a Safe Haven, where wolves can train, survive, and prepare for the brewing darkness ready to be bestowed upon them. But in doing so, Storm isn't aware about what lurks within this 'Safe Haven'. Dire stories are told; of the all powerful Umbra, of her puppet Dim Light, and of a prophecy that is yet to be told. What magic awaits? What will happen to these wolves on this island? Who's the target? Who will live...and who will, to make the prophecy come true, die?
"I am coming for you, mangy little runt. Run as far as you can, but the brink of dawn has fallen upon us. I can gouge your eyes from their sockets and you will give up. Easy as that. Think for a minute why I'm not here to murder you, young hero, born of a dim light."
"Who's there," I can't breath. I'm always looking over my shoulder ever since- I can't think about the now. I have to run but where, back to Jake? No I can't, everything is different now. He's supposed to be here to protect me, because if the got me... blood smears the pages of the passed. "Sapphire!" I hear him call. "Coal!" I reach out to touch him only for him to be yanked just out of my reach. I hear the wolves in the distance howling at the beautiful moon. I need his touch again. I need to know I'm safe. The only safe place anymore is pressed against him under the sheets. "Coal!" I call out again. ---I can hear her. She's here somewhere I know it. I can smell her sent threw the thick of the woods. "Sapphire!" I call out, but my call is lost in the night. I have to protect her. I have to save one, just one. Maybe that will be enough to clean the blood off my tainted skin. What if they get her? She'll... Change... I look up at the moon, could she not have heard my howls? Of course she did. She always did. I can hear the other wolves in the forest. Soon I too would be engulfed by the beast. Unable to control myself, unable to predict the beasts next move. Only she could tame the beast inside me. Why be afraid of the monster under the bed when you should be afraid of the one lying next to you under the sheets.--- I keep quiet in the deep dark night. Watching her waiting for her to come back to me. I wait for him to slip up just long enough for me to swoop in and take her. It's only a matter of time. I wait for him to turn into that hideous beast. The beast that only comes out in the light of the moon. The beast that feeds of the insentient. I have to find her,to make her perfect, at least that's what they tell me. They tell me she'll be perfect and she will be mine. She will be the beginning of a new ere the ere of the beast. Everyone has secrets. Everyone lies. Everyone cries. Everyone dies.
