It was just a normal day in the woods for little Sapphire. She was from the village of Elpeno. Sapphire was 7, the youngest of the Elpeno tribe. She could hear the birds singing. The bugs crawling around in the grass. Then she heard a cry. But it didn't sound normal. She tilted her head and started to follow the sound of the cry with her tiny feet carrying her while her little white dress flowing behind her.
Sapphire then stops in the middle of Klot Woods and sees a little black mass in the tall grass. She tilts her head slightly and starts to walk toward it. She then reaches the black fluff and sees a tiny wolf pup with yellow eyes looking at her with fear laced within them.
"I won't hurt you, puppy." Sapphire giggles while holding out her hands.
The wolf pup starts to limp to her with their head low.
"Whats your name! Mines Sapphire." Sapphire smiles brightly while sitting down in the grass.
"I-I'm Shadow." The pup says while sitting in front of Sapphire.
"Where is your family?" Sapphire questions while holding out her hand and petting his ears.
I lost them and now I hurt myself." He whines while pulling up his right front paw showing a bloody stick impaled in his now blood filled black fur.
Sapphire gasps and looks closer at his paw. He looks at her with pain filled eyes. She looks up at him and her eyes flash a lighter blue with smaller pupils. Shadow tilts his head and sees her rip part of her white dress and runs to the creek nearby them. She looks back at Shadow and motions him to follow her.
He slowly limps to her and then reaches the creek. She gets the piece of the ripped dress wet in the creek and looks at shadow for permission. He nods and she then pulls out the bloody stick from his paw and starts to clean up all of the blood with him wincing and whining every now and then. Sapphire finishes a couple minutes later and starts to wrap his paw up in the cloth.
"T-Thank you! I think my mom was wrong after all." Shadow says while getting up and wagging his tail.
"What do you mean?" Sapphire questions while getting up also.
"My mommy said that humans are bad! They said they would kill you when they see you." Shadow says while yawning tiredly.
"Well, my daddy said that I'm special. And when I talk to the doggies at my Clan, people say that they only hear me and the dogs barking?" Sapphire sighs while looking around.
"I just wish that my pack was with me so you could meet them." Shadow whines and looks around with sapphire sniffing the air.
But they didn't know that his pack had found him a long time ago. And they are very confused.
"Darlin, how can she understand our son?" A pure white female wolf with the bluest eyes in the world that you could just drown in them whispers to another wolf.
The other wolf was a male and had light black fur. He had bright yellow eyes just like Shadow. And a large scare across his snout.
"I'm not sure but I don't trust them yet." He snarls quietly.
"Calm down Makoce. It is not hurting our son so be patient and let's see what happens next." The female wolf nudges the wolf named Makoce lovingly.
"Fine. Whatever you say Alusia." Makoce mumbles and continues to glare at Sapphire.
"It's starting to get dark Sapph." Shadow mumbles while lowering himself to the ground while walking
"I know but I won't leave you until we find your mommy and daddy." Sapphire whispers while petting shadow.
"Thank you." Shadow says but then stops and smells the air and his tail starts to wag.
"I smell them! I smell mommy and daddy!" Shadow says and starts to run with Sapphire close behind him.
Shadow and Sapphire stop and see a pair of bright yellow eyes staring at them from the shadows of the trees. Shadow barks happily and runs toward the eyes.
"Daddy! There you are." Shadow barks happily while wagging his tail.
The creature with yellow eyes steps out of the shadows and with it many others like it. A white wolf walks toward Shadow and licks his head.
"Where were you! We were worried sick about you." The white wolf sternly scolds him while shadow whines apologies.
"Shadow! We talked about not talking to humans! And what do you do? You bring a human to our territory!" The wolf with yellow eyes shouts in anger at Shadow.
Shadow keeps apologizing while lowering himself to the ground in fear. He soon is laying down while the white wolf glares at the yellow-eyed wolf as if talking to him with telepathy.
" Please stop yelling at Shadow! You scaring him!" Sapphire shouts and runs to Shadow and hugs him with him cuddling closer in her arms.
All of the wolfs stare at her in shock and confusion while the yellow-eyed wolf glares at her in anger. The white wolf looks at Sapphire and moves closer to her and gently bites Sapphire's left dress sleeve and pulls it down slightly revealing a birthmark that looks a lot like a crescent moon. Sapphire freezes and looks at the white wolf which has her eyes widen in shock.
" A-Are you ok?" Sapphire stutters while asking the white wolf the question.
" Darlin, She-She has the powers." The white wolf stutters in shock.
" What are you talking about? What powers?" Sapphire question starting to get worried.
" What! This cant be." The yellow-eyed wolf growls and moves closer to Sapphire and sees the birthmark.
"What are you g-guys talking about? You guys are s-scaring me." Sapphire looks at them with her blue eyes shining.
" You don't know?" The white wolf questions while tilting her head.
" N-No." Sapphire looks at her and pulls her sleeve back up.
" Sweetie. You can shapeshift into animals."
