Chapter 6: Fallen Pack

A Chapter by DogDrawler

It waw raining outside. Stormfast and Terra were staying inside the riverside den. Lightning filled the night sky.

"Stormfast," she trembled. "I'm afraid of tue sky fire."

"The Lightning?"

"If that's what you call," she said.

"Maybe if you go to sleep, you won't hear or see it." Terra started blushing. She wasn't sure if she should say this.

"Well, can you howl me a song, then?"

"What?" Stormfast gave her a disgusted look.

"I know its too muchnto ask but my mum usually howls me a song to put me to sleep during a storm."

"I don't know."

"Oh, please!" She smiled, showing all her teeth. She gave a puppy face. That did it.

"*sigh* Fine I'm gonna' howl -umm- Fallen Pack."

"What's that?"

"Its a song, passed down from my granfather, Issac. It was his point of view during the War of The Divide."

"What's the War of The Divide?" she asked.

"The song will explain."

(Howling)

I used to rule the land

Meat would load when I gave the command

Now every night I go stow away

And count the moons and days

Wolves woud cheer my way for a hero I was that's what

Next our world began to fall

Away from all that had once become

They all cried for my help but I stood there numb

I gaze up into the borderless skyline

Wolf choirs howling in the sunshine

Turn around, bear my fangs and my claws

The things that once fored enemies to flaw

And hope one day that this chaos and

Destuction turns back command

Never a claw in a paw

As I fear that I will fall

(Howling stops)

"Sounds rough," yawned Terra. The lightningnoutside stopped.

"Yep, our pack at the time, the Grand Pack was dividing into the Eastern Pack and the Western Pack."

"When was this war?" Terra asked

"About one hundred years ago"(Dog Years), he answered.

"Could you please continue the song, I want to learn more."

(Howling)

As the Easterns and the Westerns grinned

They took down the trees and cornered me in

Claws slashed by like steaks of light

I tried all that I could to stay and fight

As destruction disrupted the laws

The pack broken at my paws

I gaze up into the borderless skyline

Wolf choirs howling in sunshine

Turn around, bear my fangs and claws

The things that once forced enemies to flaw

Better to take a stand

And that was when I ruled the land

Never a claw in a paw

As I fear that I will fall

(Howling stops)

He looked at Terra and smiled. She was sweet but he had his duties. He wanted to go home. He wanted to say all of his apolgies to Stone. If Stone was there, of course.

I bet his meat is being sold at some human maketplace, he wondered. Why did they come and ruin everything? At this moment he could have been hanging with Lisa and Stone with Winter. With that, he remembered something now.

"Hey, I missed my date."

He went to the wall across from Terra and laid there. What dream would he have?
