Fallen Forest
To My Sweetheart
Chapter 1 Middle of the mountains of Bane and the swamps of Ruin is Fallen forest. Acres and acres of pine trees the pack of Owlbark owns the land. Owlbark is 15 moons (4 years in wolf years) old and is the father of two pups. Goldencloud and Slivernight. Two of the wisest and brightest pups of their age, but dramatically different. The oldest and goofiest, Goldencloud loves to give anyone second chances. As then there is Silvernight, he is the ying and yang of his sister. Shy but brave, Silvernight keeps to himself other than family. Fallen Forest was safe and strong. Nothing could go wrong, could it?
It was a day during the winter season. Snow was yet to fall and the chill is brushing through the trees. Goldencloud and Silvernight are taking a stroll through the bare tree wood. Sniffing the air for any source of food. The air has a still scent that is flowing in the branches. An unfamiliar scent? Goldencloud was confused at first, but then she had the sense of fear. A season before, The Outsiders had planned an unkown attack. They wanted to attack Fallen Forest at the transitioning to winter. Stealing the food supply and medicine. Adrenilane sets in as Silvernight out of no where runs forward. “Wait Silver-!” Goldencloud screamed out. She bolts after him to
then gets head straight into Silvernights back. “OW! What the hec-” Goldencloud falls back holding her snout. A strange wolf pup, roughly some moons older than Goldencloud, was standing right in front of the path. Her pelt was a mutated violet and her eyes were like diamonds. Silvernight may have been brave before, he is silent now. The strange wolf was just as shocked. As if she has never seen another wolf before. “Um... hello? Are you lost?” Goldencloud gets up from the ground. “My name is Goldencloud, this is my brother Silvernight... sorry if he scared you.” It was then the strange wolf smiled. “It is alight, he seems like a nice guy.” She says as then to relax a bit. Excited for a new friend possibly,
Goldencloud gets closer to her. “What’s your name and why are you out in the cold? All alone...” Rosefeather. That is what the strange wolf said. She told Goldencloud that she came from a pack across the valley to the left of the Fallen Forest. Seeing no bruises or injuries, Goldencloud was confused. Why did she leave her family? Did she even have a family? “It is quite cold out here, would you like to come back to our pack?” Goldencloud blindly asks Rosefeather as then to get tugged by her scruff. “OW OW OW!! Silvernight what the heck!” He looks at her with eyes of annoyance, “Are you seriously going to anger father by bringing a stranger?” “Don’t you
remember what just happened?” Silvernight says this in a hushed voice. he did not want Rosefeather to hear him. Looking back and forth between her brother and Rosefeather, Goldencloud just rolls her eyes. “She is our moons! What harm is she going to do?” Turning back around, Goldencloud smiles at Rosefeather as to not cause worry. “Am I being a bother? I can leave.” Rosefeather says, not really believing her own words. Goldencloud jumps at her own words, “Not at all!! Every wolf is worth a chance in pack of Owlbark.” “Besides! what could happen!”
The walk back to Fallen Forest was long and quiet. It seemed like there was an awkward sense in the air. As the three young pups come up to a fork in the road, Goldencloud didn’t recognize it. “I’m sure it’s right here?” she said in confused certainty. Silvernight then rolled his eyes as he krept up to his sister. “Hadn’t you been on these walks enough, it’s the right one.” He then goes forward as to then be engulfed by a bush. Illusion, you can’t see the entrance of the camp front on. Rosefeather then gets nervous as she feels weight on her paws. Goldencloud looks back as to then smile, “No one or anything will harm you I promise.” The two exchanged a
reassuring look and then Goldencloud walked into the entrance. Rosefeather stood their for a minute longer. Should she run? What if she was not accepted to stay? She turned back to look at the cold tinted forest. Really not wanting to freeze to death, Rosefeather decided to give Fallen Forest a chance. “You coming Rosefeather?” Goldencloud shouted faintly through the shrub. With a quick smile, Rosefeather steps forward and goes through. Yet it seems like a deep entrance, it was fairly quick. Rosefeather didn’t expect it. As the change fro a dimmed lighted foreat, Rosefeather had to close her eyes when greeted with the bright sun. Stumbling, she found her
balance and shock from the difference in temperature. “Welcome to the pack of Owlbark!”
