aurora borealis- noun plural: An aurora that occurs in northern regions of the earth. Also called northern lights.
In the middle of a dense forest of coniferous trees lies the Aurora Borealis pack, its name coming from its location. At certain times of the year, the northern lights appear, dancing almost magically in the sky. A narrow trail leads you through the close evergreens. Giving into temptation, you begin moving your paws. By venturing into this territory, you are venturing into a land belonging to a pair of feared leaders. You have heard rumors of them...but you decide to take your chances and hope that the tales of blood and death are merely fabricated stories to scare wolves.
You have walked nearly five minutes before you realize the sound of paws stepping somewhere from behind. Deciding that you've made a mistake, you quickly turn around, but find that you cannot go any further. Standing before you is one of the mighty kings you've heard of. His blood red pelt clings over perfectly toned bands of muscle. But that isn't what causes such fear in your veins. One of his amber eyes has a horrid, bleeding scar across it, and his good eye seems to stare right through you. His face is expressionless, giving off none of his intentions. You cower away as his jaws part.
"I'm Hell Demon."
His voice was deep and cut through the air like a hot knife through butter. Right where he left off, another voice picks up from behind you. You whirl around and find yourself facing another male with steely muscles beneath his pelt, which seems to consist of every shade of brown. He had startled you, and you're amazed how you hadn't at all detected his approach.
"And I am Ghost...we're the alphas of Aurora Borealis."
His deep voice was laced thickly with a Native American accent. His own golden eyes are directing a harsh glare your way. Now you're caught in the middle...your breathing has become heavy in your panic and you're not sure which to face.
"You've foolishly trespassed into our territory. You face the one called Hell Demon's whose voice is once more addressing you. Get out, or become a corpse along our border."
It's obvious they mean business. So now it's up to you...take your chances and stay, or heed their warning and waste no time getting out with your life.

You May Be a Coward, but You’re Not Stupid  |
_________________________________________________________________________ The small pup shivered in the dark den, his plump form nestled tight against his mother. Nightmares plagued his mind, terrors of the unknown and other wolves, bigger, scary, terrifying wolves that were out to get him. He whimpered in his sleep, just wanting the scary images and thoughts to leave him alone, but they never did. Every time he was awake he was thinking of scary things that were out to get him, and when he slept the thoughts just got worse. Every day he was afraid to go to sleep, afraid that the nightmares were finally going to come true this time. As the day grew darker and darker his fears grew steadily worse and worse. It was a never ending cycle that the pup went through every day, wondering if it would ever end. The only time that the pup ever felt somewhat safe was when he was snuggled up with his mother and sisters. Before he fell asleep and was plagued with nightmares so often, he felt a calming peace when the family was all safely in their den, he felt like nothing could hurt him. He grew more and more attached to his sisters and mother, never wanting to think about when the family would be split up. For now, he just did his best to enjoy the warmth of the den, curled up next to his mother’s fur, his sisters by his side, the family safe and sound and together. The small brute would often stay awake longer than the others, their even breathing calming him down enough until he was able to fall asleep. As the pups grew bigger, Shae explained to them a new game they would be playing. That they would need to separate from each other and go to different homes. When the kalak had first told them this, Tarly did not know how he would survive something as scary as that. The world was big and scary and he had no interest in exploring any of it. If he could he would stay in his den with his family forever, never leaving the safety of his den. But Shae insisted that that was not the case. Even when she promised to protect him and keep him safe and that the world really wasn’t scary, he still did not want to leave her or her sisters. Tarly felt like he was still too young to be on his own, even if he would have another adoptive mother to help take care of him, he was not ready for this, never would be ready for this. The day had finally arrived, the day he was dreading and scared of since Shae had first brought it up, but it was here. The night before he had tried staying awake as long as possible, trying to avoid the morning from coming. But eventually he had fallen into a restless and uneasy sleep, waking up often, afraid of the dark and shadows, so he pushed deeper into Shae’s form, whimpers escaping his small form before falling off to sleep again. When the morning finally came, Shae woke them up, excitement clearly lighting up her features. He did not understand why she was so excited for this game. It did not sound like a fun game to him, them all being separated and no longer together. The gray wolf was afraid it was because he was not good enough for her, that she did not want him anymore and that he had messed up too often for her to love him. He wondered if she ever really loved him or if was always a game to her. The femme first left with his sister Nzingha. Tarly walked up to her, whimpering as he said goodbye to her, wondering if he would ever see her again, trying not to let fear overwhelm him at losing his family. ”Goodbye Nzingha. I…I’ll miss you.” Tarly stayed with Accalia in their den when Shae and Nzingha left. His gray form curled up to Accalia’s in comfort. His black striped head, resembling his father’s form, draped over his sister’s form as he tried not to get too anxious about leaving, which was near impossible. After what only felt like a few minutes Shae was back, without his other sister, and the fear of leaving increased. He nuzzled Accalia while he said goodbye to her, telling her as he told Nzingha that he would miss her. Shae giggled and laughed as she spoke, "Are you ready, Tarly? It's your turn next, isn't it exciting?" Tarly was barely able to nod his head before the kalak came over and picked him up by his scruff. His form naturally went limp, swaying from side to side until he dozed off, traveling further than he ever had before. Tarly woke up abruptly when they entered the territory of the pack that he would be joining. The smells here were different and he didn’t like it. He already missed the scents of the den that he had been living in for so long and he whimpered as he hung from Shae’s jaws. When they were within the territory she dropped him to the ground and then let out a howl. When she let her vocals ring out, Tarly began to shake and cry, afraid of being left alone. Shae took a few steps back, speaking to him as she left, "Be brave, my dear Tarly, and never forget that I love you and will visit you whenever I can." The young, frightened brute didn’t speak, just nodded, hoping that he would be able to be brave enough like she wanted him to be. His plump form went down into the grass, trying to hide his form from the world, waiting to see what would become of him in this new land.
