A she-wolf laid on a hill over-looking a small valley, her tail swishing back and forth gently, a small summer's breeze caressing her white fur. She knew she didn't belong but what other choice did she have? She was laid with a curse that tore her soul to shreds and caused her emotions to disappate almost into thin air. Looking down at her forepaws she saw that they were different shades of blue. She couldn't tell what pattern they were or how far the pattern went on her body, but she didn't care at that moment. She was marked with a curse and anyone who saw her marks stayed away from her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Dragon god that her farming village worshiped came to the villagers with a warning, a good century before she was conceived, stating that a wolf with pure white fur would come and destroy the village and when the wolf reached the age of 16 blue flame marks will appear showing the villagers the wolf to destroy it. The villagers heeded the warning and started keeping track of all the white wolf pups in the village. After 10 years the villagers thought that the Dragon god was wrong and the prophacy went to myth. Little did the villagers know that it was true but the prophacy would come true in a time of strife. War, famine, drought and sickness ravaged the land for 50 years until a wise Gryphon rose and took the crown; for the old Owl king had died from sickness, and having no children, left the throne empty. The Gryphon king brought peace and stability to the land, but that took some time, and had heard of a mythological prophacy of a wolf pup. By the time the king was aware of the prophacy, the cursed wolf pup had already been born and had been growing quickly. Her parents weren't the richest in the village but they weren't the poorest either. When she was 6 her parents bought her enchanted red crystals that were for her protection and had the local shaman perform the rituals. At first the she-pup had no idea what was going on but soon she felt a ferocious burning sensation on her forehead and the corners of her eyes and soon realized the crystals were fusing with her DNA as well as her body. Her parents and the shaman looked on with disbelief at the spectical, not only did the crystals fuse with the poor pup they also had changed color! The crystal on the pup's forehead was the color of the lightest blue ice, while the crystals near her eyes was as blue as hydrangea petals. The shamen stared at the crystals and slowly realized what was happening, she was the cursed pup of myth. The look of the shaman's face warned her parents of the she-pups fate and once they got the pup home, they put her under an enchanted sleep to last till she was 18 and could go off on her own. While she was asleep her parents tampered with her memory and her dreams so it looked like reality rather than her fantasy. What her parents didn't realize is that no matter how hard they tried, there was little to help her with her curse. Her parents went to the shrine of the Dragon god, Dergurasu , around the pups 16 birthday and prayed for days for a way to break the pups curse. After a week of continuous praying, Dergurasu came before the distraught wolf parents to ease their pain. "There is little I can do to help your wolf pup but there might be someone who can...." he said calmly to the wolf pair. " Dergurasu what does our daughter need to do? Why was it her?!" cried the female wolf, Alsendra. Alsendra's mate, Zeromth, turns her so her muzzle is facing his chest and wraps his arms around her, hoping to calm her down. "I am not sure but there is an evil threat coming to this land and she might be the only one to stop it," Dergurasu explained, bringing his head down to their level so they weren't craning their necks to look up. Zeromth looked into Dergurasu's emerald green eyes and knew he was telling the truth, though it would be hard for Alsendra to accept. "How can we help?" Zeromth asked, his watery amber eyes hardening with determination to keep his daughter safe. Alsendra looked up from her mates chest, only to have her red irised eyes to tear up again. Dergurasu sighed heavily and thought about it for a few moments. "The best thing you can do for her is have one parent with her at all times and send her to me so she learns to keep people from entering her mind and controlling her. If she falls under someone else's control, it could mean that her soul will shatter into pieces that she alone must put back together. Also her true name is Soulestia, or Soul for short, I watched as you struggled with finding a name for her." Alsendra and Zeromth both tried out the name and they noticed that it matched their pup almost a little too well. Unbeknownst to them, deep in the shadows of the shrine, a panther and a bull listened in as well and headed off to the wolves home. Dergurasu gave the wolves a few more warnings before sending them back home, and after much debate and arguing, gave into their request to follow them to see Soul for himself. Yet as the trio approached the little cottage, Zeromth noted something was off and saw that the front door had been kicked in and lay broken on the ground. "Dergurasu, promise me this one thing. If anything happens to me or Alsendra, take our daughter.....take Soul as far as you can away from here....." Dergurasu looked at Zeromth and nodded quickly, sensing his urgency and the familiar sulfuric burn in his throat of his flame growing quickly. Alsendra noticed her mates unrest and knew something was going wrong with their house and it had something to do with Soul. She gave her mate a quick kiss and rushed off the the barn for a rope and when she came back, handed an end to Zeromth. Looking confused at his mate, Zeromth followed her to the frame of the front door and made a tripping wire out of the rope. When that was done he ran back to the barn for a couple of tools that he and Alsendra could use seperately and waited. Zeromth at the front of the house and Alsendra at the back. It had felt as if time stood still for the two wolves but after a half hour the panther was walking out of the back with a small sack filled with heirlooms and looking for guards or the wolves as the bull walked out the front with Soul, wearing a white sundress, in his arms. Unfortunately for the bull, he didn't bother looking down and tripped on the rope. The bull stumbled for a bit trying regain his balance, not to drop Soul or accidently fall on top of her, but to no avail. The bull had to throw Soul a good 3 feet to his left before hitting the ground; right into the arms of her father, who took off to where Dergurasu was hiding. The bull saw what had transpired and rushed after him, but realized a little to late they had help from a dragon. Dergurasu, unable to keep the burn in check, let loose a flame so large and fast that it caught the bull off guard and took care of him in the matter of minutes, but the bull ran right for the cottage and had caught it aflame. The panther, smelling the singed fur, threw the heirlooms in the bushes only to come face to face with Alsendra. "How dare you go through our house and take our things!" The panther smiled cruelly and started walking towards Alsendra who took a couple of swipes at him with a sickle, the glow of the burning cottage giving her eyes a demonic look to them. The panther laughed demonically while looking at Alsendra; crouching to all fours and lunges at her, knocking the sickle away. "Just give up and hand over the girl and you and your mate won't have to die....." "Never...." Alsendra said bravely, knowing her life was going to be ripped from her. The panther shrugs and walks up to Alsendra, who refused to run when she had the chance due to being stubborn, and claws her neck severing the jugular vein and cutting her jugular wide open. Zeromth smelled his mates blood and walked over to Dergurasu and hands Soul to him, taking one last look at his daughter and gives her cheek a gentle caress. "Leave now while you can Dergurasu....and make sure she know we loved her very much." Dergurasu nods as Zeromth runs off to take care of the panther, going to his anthro form so he had a better hold of Soul, his powerful wings pushing him and his precious cargo farther and farther from the ground. Dergurasu watched as the roof of the cottage fell inwards killing anyone who was inside. As the roof caved in on the cottage; Soul's eyes, after 10 years of enchanted sleep, opened to see a dragon holding her. Thinking it was a dream, she slips back into an easy slumber, unknowing what had happened to her parents. Dergurasu looked down at Soul, tears forming in his eyes. "I am so sorry.....and happy sixteenth birthday Soul...."
