It All Begins

"I really need to find a pack. Maybe I could find a mate and start one...,"(any volunteers form Shur`tugal's mate?) thought Shur`tugal as she padded through the cold grass, "after all, it is leafbare and I'm all alone in a huge forest claimed by no one." Meanwhile, Yamasaki and Sarengeti were thinking similar things. "Oops, sorry," said Yamasaki with her head down as she accidently ran into Sarengeti. A paw lifted up her chin. "Keep your head up! It's alright, just a little bump won't do me any harm! No need to be down!" replied Sarengeti cheerfully. "Wait, what was that? I thought I just heard a voice...," thought Shur`tugal. Sure enough she heard a voice. They all walked on, Shur`tugal alone, Sarengeti and Yamasaki walking together. "We should probably find a place to stay for the night," said Sarengeti. Yamasaki just nodded. Shur`tugal begins to think the same thing. As they all and many others look up, the sun is suddenly covered by a massive dark object. Then immediately it starts to snow for the first time in 3 years. The snow has a slight ting of sparkle to it and is enchanting. The next day all who had seen it, which was only about 50 wolves maybe a bit more, felt very sick and stayed that way for 2 weeks. On the Saturday of the second week they all changed into their various forms at their various times depending on when they saw the eclipse and snow.
