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.

_________________________________________________________________________ The young brute had finally met another varg that he was comfortable with. When Shae, the kalak that had raised him and his siblings, had forced him to come to Aurora Borealis he thought that it was the worst thing to ever happen to him. The only wolves that he knew were gone from his life, the one he had seen as his mother had gotten rid of him, probably because he was so fearful and worried about everything. What good was a wolf if they were afraid of everything that was out there? He never wanted to stand and fight, never wanted to have to deal with confrontation. Just the thought of that was scary. But the switch to this pack had actually turned out well. He had grown to love Magic and she was truly his mother now. He did not think that he would grow to trust or enjoy being around another, but that had proved to be wrong as well. When he had gone out on his adventure, he did not expect it to turn into finding a new friendship. But that was what had happened with Sebring. He did not see her as the big scary Alphess, like he did with Kalgalath, but saw her as a friend and a mentor. She understood him and what he felt, and no one else had understood that before. Noone had understood him as Sebring did now. The pair set out to explore more areas of Aurora, areas that Tarly may not have seen before. Magic had taken him out before and shown Tarly around, but he did not remember every area very well. It all looked new to him, as if it was the first time that he was seeing it. Pale grey orbs took it in, trying to remember it better this time. When Sebring urged him to go through some brambles, the familiar feelings of fear and anxiety filled him, unsure of what to think of this seemingly dark and dangerous tunnel to his smaller and shorter form. But the female spoke to him, words encouraging him to go forward, and with a quick glance at her larger form, he pushed his plump form through. Really he had overreacted, the space that he had to crawl through was shorter than it had seemed. He only had to wait a moment before Sebring crawled through as well, scanning the area to decide where they would go next, but then he was surprised when she asked which way he wanted to go. He still did not know the area very well, so he just picked a direction at random. The walked on in silence for a few moments before Tarly broke the silence. It was not something that he usually did, but he was comfortable enough with the grey female now that he was okay with speaking. His vocals still surprised him though, and they came out a little shaky still. It did not take her long to answer him, “Getting to know the wolves I call my family, like you Tarly.” When her honey toned orbs looked to him, he felt a little awkward and looked down to his paws, unsure of what to say, so he decided to say nothing. “Aurora is nothing but land without wolves like yourself, Magic, or Hellene and Khaleesi, or Kalgalath and I to make it a home. But I do enjoy going and sitting on the bank of the lakeside border and watching the sunsets. What about yourself young man?” Tarly recognized the names of Hellene and Khaleesi but could not remember who they were or whether he had met them or not. And he was unsure of what it was about Aurora that he liked. He did not think that it was Aurora itself, it was Magic who had made it him. Without his mother he would have been alone, more afraid than ever, vulnerable and without anyone to protect him. He felt useless on his own and that he had no purpose when he was not with his siblings, but he had not been with them for a while now. Magic gave him purpose again, gave him someone to love and to focus on instead of his fears and anxieties. ”I…I’m not sure. I don’t really know the pack. I just know Magic…and you.” He wasn’t sure what else to say, and did not know if his answer was good enough for her and he was nervous that he didn’t know the correct thing to say. As his black striped cranium continued to look around, he caught the scent of something different. He was not sure what it was at the time, not pinpointing that it was the fresh water from the lack. His paws continued forward, curious about where they were headed. After a little more time through the trees, they could see the lake. Tarly stepped forward, sniffing around at the new scents that were around the lake before he turned back to look to Sebring, curious to see where she wanted to go from here. His paws continued to the water, reaching down to lap at the cool, clean water.
