"Eclipse, come in the den. NOW!" a voice screamed. This voice had come from the one wolf that was feared by all. The wolf that hid in the shadows, and ran through the forest in a faded blur. It was the cruel, selfish, cold-blooded demon, Atreiyu.

"Yes, Master," a deep voice called from outside. In walked a wolf with smokey gray fur, eyes red as blood, and paws, tail and ears black as the darkest shadow. This was the same little wolf who had killed three cruel wolves many years ago. "I need to speak to you, Atreiyu had said more calmly, "about today's training." Eclipse sat down, and listened carefully as his teacher turned away, her long, powerful tail curled around her body.

"Over the years, you've grown from a snivelling little mutt, to what you are now; a demonic wolf who's not afraid to kill to survive, let alone for the fun of it." At this second, Atreiyu paused. She thought back to many, many years of killing. The feared looks of those she killed appeared before her eyes, and she began to tremble.

"Hey, Master! Snap out of it!" Eclipse exclaimed, and nuzzled his teacher. She gasped and look back at him in shock, shook her head, and said "Get off of me," as she pushed him away. These two may have been demons, but Eclipse still loved and cared for his sister and master.

"Back to your mission," she continued. "There are two mysterious wolves causing trouble in the Enchanted Forest. I want you to stop them and destroy them." She turned to face him, and he tilted his head.

"But why do we care what happens," he asked curiously. "It doesn't have anything to do with us." At that instant, Atreiyu struck him with her tail, sending him flying at the den's walls, and he fell to the ground with a whine. "You stupid mutt! Sometimes I wonder about you... We care, because one, they could ambush us, and two, it's our job to cause chaos and mayhem."

He slowly got up with a groan and a cough. "I understand," he said with a bow, showing his respect for her, and headed out. "Hey, mutt," Atreiyu called out as he had just stepped outside. "Don't fail me, because this time I won't be there to save your whiney ass. It's do or die, remember that." He nodded, and headed for the Enchanted Forest.

After hours of endless walking, finally he had stopped in front of a lone tree. He'd arrived at the Enchanted Forest. "She said they would be here..." he said as he looked around and watched as fairies and butterflies flew by, leaving a trail of glitter in the air. "But where are they?" He thought to himself.

All of a sudden, birds flew from their nests in the trees, and all of the forest's animals hid from what they sensed was coming. Startled, Eclipse quickly looked at two dark puddles, and he jumped back. These puddles slowly took form as two wolves; one that was cloaked in a shadow, and another that too was cloaked with shadows, and could fly.

"These must be the wolves that Master must've been talking about," Eclipse said as he slowly stretched his paws in front of him, getting ready to fight. "This is it, no going back,"he thought to himself. "It's do, or die!"
