(Isis)Bark for help
From Create Your Own Story
You begin to bark for help. Perhaps one of your pack-mates will find you and save you. You continue to call for help, but no one is coming. Then the smell hits your nose again, the scent you had smelt back at the cave. You hear something big breathe behind you. You turn around to see a big bear, and he is very hungry. Your calls have attracted a predator. Screaming, you try to run but you trip. Laying on the ground, you watch as the bear swings one paw up. He is about to swat at you, but then you see your mother fly out of nowhere.
She clamps her mouth on the bear's neck, her teeth sinking into his flesh. Her claws dig into the bear's body. The bear roars and tries to shake her off. You get up and stand, paralyzed, and watch in horror.
Your mother stops biting the bear for a second to say: "RUN! RUN, ISIS! RUN!" But you aren't sure where to run. You then find your mother's scent trail. You figure you can just follow it backwards to the den. But as you begin to run, you hear the bear roar and your mother yelp. You turn around to see your now weak mother hanging on for dear life to the bear's neck.
"Mother?" You bark.
Your mother loses your grip and falls on the ground.
"Mother!"
The bear raises his paw.
"MOTHER!"
-few days later-
Your father brings you and your siblings some meat. Your father is now in charge of taking care of you and your littermates. You sigh as you eat the meat and you sadly saunter away from the group, looking at the sun set. One of your brothers walk up to you, growling, "It's your fault mother died. If only you waited to go outside with her." He nips at your face and walks away. You blame yourself... all the pain that you are going through right now, all because of yourself. You look up to see a young golden eagle flying. She seems sad, like she has lost someone too. You understand how she feels. You watch her fly away, fade into the setting sun...
Good job. You've ruined your puphood. But, I guess watching your mother die in front of your own eyes isn't as bad as what you will experience as an adult. And besides, you got one of the five awesome skills (the one in bold is the one you have received):
Strength (How strong you are)
Endurance (How long you can fight and run without being tired)
Speed (How fast and agile you are)
Cleverness (How smart you are)
Stealth (How sneaky you are)
Because of this experience, you have gained some smarts and understand how harsh the forest can be, and you now know much more of how not to get eaten out here. You can still gain other skills later on, but cleverness is a darn good skill to get, very important in living as an adult wolf...
That is, if you're ready to be an adult. Get prepared, and tell us when you are ready to grow up into a full grown wolf.
