It be late in the country. But yet a great and mighty dragon stands before the entrance to her liar. The dragon has an anusual coloring even by her peopls standerds. she is neither the color of night nor day but twilight, a mix of deep blue and violet.
"Come to me wolf of night. Step out of your conceling shadows and answer my call."

the wolf stoped and looked at the dragon. she tuned and continued on her way without a seconed glance at the dragon.

"i can see you wolf. there is no way for you to hide from me for i can see all" boomed the dragon in a mighty voice that shook the very ground, and very nealy made the she wolf fall to the ground.

the she wolf looked at the dragon with her piercing yellow eyes. the she wolf was jet black but seemed to glow dark purpel in the light. the wolf snareled "what do you want of me dragon? what dose a dragon want with a wolf?" the she wolf's eyes where still on the dragon... staring at her as if she could see the dragon's very soul.

"come and join me, wolf, in my lair for my eyes be bleary and tired and from this hight you look like nothing more then a black spot in a sea of green" answered the dragon in a loud voice, staring down upon the she wolf.

the wolf gave the dragon a very warry look. "why should i go and join you in your lair? do you think i feel like beeing dragon food? or are you just stupid and lazy so you call your food to you?" asked the wolf in a testing voice.

the dragon looks down at the black dot that is the wolf and chuckled, "dear wolf, i ate last week. i have no need to eat you. besides," the dragon paused and cocked her head to one side, "if i were to eat you, you would be nothing more then a snack before an appitizer. come young wolf, for this concernes you as well as your people and the land that nurtures us all." and the dragon steped away from the entrance to her lair, disapering from the wolf's sight.

the wolf eyed the dragon waraly and then contunued walking as she said "well dragon i'm not comeing to you. and i'm not as yong as you think i am. now i will leave you dragon for i do not care what you have to say." and the she wolf wonderd off. to the dragon's dismay.

suddenly the dragon turned angery, her scales turning to a flaming red. "WOLF!" roared the dragon. the earth shook again, this time nocking the wolf to the ground. "if you care for your people and family you shall listen to me!if you will not come to me of your own accord then you shall leave me no chioce but to come down and bring you to me whether you would wish it or not! i shall give you the choice. make your decision."

as the dragon came at the wolf, the she wolf changed.. the she wolf grew into A 10 foot tall were wolf with black bat wings. the wolf lunged at the dragon snaping at her neck caseing the dragon to blead from a frunt leg from onr og her claws.

the dragon, suspecting this of the wolf, turned sharpley, hitting the wolf with her tail. the wolf flew bakward, hitting a tree. the dragon landed, and quite calmly, examind the shining silver liquid that was her blood. the dragon spoke a simple spell and the gash heald instantly. then the dragon turnd to look down at the wolf, who was shaking her head to clear it. "are you quite done?" ask the dragon sharply, "for if you are, there are much more important things to do and say."

the she wolf returning to her true form asked " what dos a dragon whant of a wolf?" then the wolf tould notice of the blood "so ur an imortal... not many imortal dragons left..."

suddenly the dragon seemed to shrink in upon herself.great head bowing, almost touching the ground. the wolf could feel sadness wash over her from the dragon. "none" whispered the dragon so quietly the wolf barley cauht the lone word.

the wolf stared at the dragon with little pitty in her eyes. "well dragon if you insist on bugging me can you at least give me your name?" asked the grate black wolf.

the dragon looked up at the proud wolf. saphire meeting yellow unwavering. "i be Alfabrena, wolf. and you?" answered the dragon with a glint of humor in her eye.

the she wolf replied "i'm inomay queen of all varg (varg = wolf and wolf sub speicies)" the wolf looked at the dragon as she sat on her hanches and said "why have u somened me?"

Alfabrena looked deep into the wolf-queens eyes, searching. then, the dragon did something that the wolf hadn't expected, she laughed. "be your kind blind and deaf Inomay queen?" ased the dragon with a sudden snap back to seriousness.

the she wolf looked taken aback then she realized what the dragon was implaying "no fair dragon. i just dont like prpphies.... do you remember the prophocy of 'when the blood of mother and child are spilt'? the one invalving the mother wolf and her cubs..." inomay asked looking as if someone told her she was dieing of a horibal desies. the wolf turned to the dragon with the sadest look in her eyes...

"i remember meny things wolf," replied the dragon harshly. the wolfs paws moved apon their own will making the wolf take a step back from the dragon. the dragon swung her great head down toward the wolf forcing her to fall back some more. the wolf took to surprise how much bigger the dragons head was then her. "i seem to remember wolf" growled the dragon, her eyes loocked with the wolfs, "that it was the dragons who saved the wolves from anyalation back in the first age against Him. if i remember correctly," the dragons tone suddenly turned from anger to curiosity, "that prophacy about mother and child revolves around you inomay. be i mistaken wolf?"

inomay looked as if someone had stabed her in the gut. the she wolfs eyes began to fill with sarrow as she said. ".... it was my doughter.... she died... when we where fighting him.... and i was on the verg or death. and he is now dead... for i was the wone to take him life from him..." inomay let out a howl that only a kerl (wolves word for lone wolf) would make. rhen she stard into the dragons eyes ans said "dragon i have not talked to a singal creetcher sence belle..." inomay choked and continued "sense bella was kiled... but my sone and his sister still live.... keiry and fell. keiry is some where with her mate in the moorlands and the forest to the south... and fell is in exile for my past and my legacy... as for my mate...." inomay broke off and looked very sad. then she looked to the north to where a storm was gathering and the swamps and the marsh lads where... a sent drifted to her on the wind ans her hakles whant up and she snareled.

Alfabrena lowered her head. "i to have lost loved ones. i know the pain you feel." the dragon then looked to where the wolfs yellow eyes had wondered. Alfabrena sniffed the air and snorted, flame shot from her nostrils, trying to erase the sent that now engulfed her. "there be a mighty storm roling from the land beyond. do not tell me wolf that you do not see it. a shadow. a great black shadow. that scent has not befould the sweet air of this country in an age. that scent you smell inomay-queen. you have smelled it before. it be Him. im afraid to announce that this be the reason i called apon you wolf. He is reganing power."

"No" inomay said "its not him..." she said with anger "hit her.. my sister... you see he was my father steelpaw... but my sister who is white as snow with a yellow glow.... she is the evil one.... and she rules the bulker (band of roge male wolves) and she can munipulate any creatcher... she has a power called 'the sight of tiger, varg and man'.. i have it too... but her is more powerfull" as the she wolf finished she growled and said "Shadow clan! i can small them! why are thay here?" she turns back to the dragon and says "i dont feel like fighting with that band of idiots, lets go!" and with that inomay (still in her wolf form) sprouted black fetherd wings and toulk to the skies, the dragon close behinde her.

the inside of the dragons cave was very hot, jest how the dragon liked it, but the the black she wolf, it was to much. the dragon glanced at the wolf and muttered another spell. instantly the temperture inside the cave droped quite a few degrees. the dragon layed down comfortably then looked at the wolf, "mine as well make yourself comfortable wolf" said the dragon flicking her tail, 'we have much to talk about"

the she wolf layed down and said "i don know mutch of my sister... if u whant to know my past i mite tell u but first tell of this porphcy"

"ah yes" sighed the dragon, "the prophacy. did your ceca (dragon word for mother) ever tell you a story about anything......anusual......that happened at your birth?" the dragon leaned closer to the wolf, not wanting to miss a word of the wolfs reply, eager yet wary.

the wolf thought for a moment and said "i think... she said something about me and my sis, angle,... wolves ushaly have blue eyes until they are abour 5 mounths old.... but my sister had red and i had purple..." the she wolf looked at the reagon and said the drappa and dragga (drappa=wolf word for alpha female dragga= alpha male ) of the pack whanted my mother to kill my brother and i cuz of who our fother was.."

"no,no,no,no" said the dragon urgently, shaking her masive head, causing the air to stir and rock. "no, wolf. anything about what had happened in the air, in the sky?"

"no i dont" saidthe wolf.

the dragon snorted, white hot flame shotting from her nostrils. Alfabrena started tapping her claws against the cavern floor, seming to be deep in thought. the dragon then turned back to the wolf and asked, "were you and your sister born at the same time?"

the wolf sat there and thought for a minut then said "i think so..."

the dragon nodded, then, her voice changed. it became deep and it echoed around the cave making the wolf wince. "when a daughter of fire and light and daughter twins of night and shadow are born at the same hour they shall be eternally bound. fire and shadow must join together to destroy the Dark One for only they shall be able to throw him from his black thrown forever in all the worlds."

"but she killed him!" the wolf cryed " she killed him and countless others! shw is the evil one!! she controwls the bolker abd meny others! she will finde a way to destoy all!!!" the wolf cryed again as she got to her paws. then started to pace back and forth. here eyes turning red.

"thats what your sister thinks" growled the dragon, her scales turning red once again. the dragon looked eyes with the wolf again. "inomay, i am about to ask you a question that you must answer as acertly as you can. do we anderstand one another inomay-queen?"

the wolf looked at the dragon puzzled "yes we do" said the wolf hotly the fur on the back of her neck starting to standing up.

"very good" the dragons scales turned black with worry and she leaned toward the wolf. "tell me, inomay-queen, does your sister where a coller with black stone embbeded into it?"

the wolf could not hide the look of shock on her face "yes she dose" said the wolf remembering how the she wolf semed to get het power through the stone when the sisters fought.

"oh, no" sighed the dragon. Alfabrena bowed her head, eyes closed. she seemed very worried.

the black she wolf lost her pations " ok tell me whats going on! i'm expecting a long explenation NOW!" the wolf snaped

the dragon sighed again, opened her eyes, and looked intensly at the wolf. "steelpaw lives on wolf. your sister may have killed his body but she did not destroy the stone. the stone carries the essance of steelpaw. while the stone survives so does steelpaw. he is tied to that stone and the stone to him. he is using your sister to gather his strength so that he cane back in his body bigger, stronger, and more powerfull then ever before. long enough for you."

the wolf fell silent, then befor the dragon couls stop her the wolf ran and jumped of the lege to the dragons cave. she hit the ground 70 feet below the mouth of the cave. then the wolf ran as fast as she could. runing at 70+ miles an hour. she ran and ran. she was running twards the abandon casle when she heard the beatiing of the dragon's wings. the wolf ran on desprat for the solitued she has lived in for 12 long years. when inomay finaly reached the casle she saw the dragon clowse behind her. she ran under the casle wall and into the halls she ran up to the battle ments looking for the secret entrence. she found it and enterd befor the dragon could reach her. she ran down and down until she was in the dongen and found a spot in the wall where she hid from the dragon's talk of her father and her sister. and she found something that made her wimper.. the stop where she gave birth tomher pups.... and found thier faded sent and fell asleep.

up in the skys, far above the sleeping wolf the dragon flew. around and around the highest tower untill she finaly came in and landed. her diamond hard claws sanke into the crumbling stone making an awfull grinding sound, forcing the dragon to wince as it reached her sensative ears. "so wolf" murmered the dragon, "you think you can escape the truth in dreams. i forgot to mention that my ceca was the dreamspeaker of all creatures didnt i? and that she past on this skill to me. now witness what will happen to your family and people and this very world if you do nothing. if you do not answer the call of our prophacy." and the dragon closed her eyes, bowed her head to touch the stone. a single tear fell from the dragons eye as she witnessed the horrors the wolf had forced her to send to her now sleeping form.

That night she dreamed. *she was panting hard running. When she reached a clearing she stopped. In the clearing were at least 10 dead wolves. The rest of the pack was fighting a white she-wolf. The white she-wolf was beautiful. Her fur shined with a golden color. You’d think she was an angle sent by god just at the look of her. She had purple eyes and long legs. Inomay jumped and attacked the white she-wolf. “ANGEL!!!!! Stop this madness. That’s our pack your killing!!” Inomay growled throw a mouth full of the she-wolf’s fur and flesh. Angle easily thru Inomay across the clearing. Angle seemed fragile, but in reality she was a cold hearted killer with abnormal strength. Angel was about to round on Inomay when john, inomay’s and angles brother, attacked in inomay’s defense. John is a large male dark gray wolf and looked a lot like his father. Both Inomay and john fought ageist angle for the better part of two hours. Finally the rest of the pack came to their senses and helped drive her out. When she was gone the pack turned to Inomay and her brother. “Shannon see what has happened. I told u to get fid of your pups when steel claw and his lot turned on us. Any pups of his are just like him and can’t be trusted.” Said one of the elderly wolves. “But I always know angle was a little like her father but john and Inomay came to save us from their sister! They care for the pack not their father!” Shannon exclaimed. “Well I’m not taking chances…” “Pleas don’t they would not hurt any of us!!” Shannon interrupted the old wolf. “Just look at them!!! One is gray like his father. And one is black like her grandfather, who was also a tyrant! If you look at their bloodlines I see no trust in them.” Said the old wolf. “I’m sorry Shannon but it’s for the best.” He turned to Inomay and john. He growled “GET OUT! NOW!! And never come back. If you do you will be killed on sight.” Then the pack attacked.* Inomay woke with a jerk. Panting and shaking. She missed her mother dearly. It was dawn when she finally got up.

the dragon felt the wolf awake. she opened her mind and engulfed the wolf in the pure gold light "it is only part of what shall happen if we fale" said the dragon to the wolf "here be the rest" in her mind the dragon brought forth the images she had bore witness to 4 sunrises before. *a battle scene full of blood and a sea of slane creatures. wolves, horses, lions and others that were to torn to tell what race they had once belonged.* the scene changed *burning, buning, fire every where! the world was on fire. the flame was black. it was the flame of Death. the flame that had almost destroyed the world before. it was the flame only steelclaw new how to congure. screaming, screaming, terrible screaming riped through the air. a wolf ran past. she was engulfed in the killing fire. even though she couldnt see the dying wolfs pelt or face, inomay would have been able to pick that voice out of hundreds of wolves that voice and knew who it was but hopped to all the gods and goddesess that she was wrong. kiery. it was her daughter kiery.* the scene vanished and the two came back to where they stood.

the wolf was shakeing for she loved her doughter very mutch... "ok.." the she wolf said sounding worried " what do i have to do?".... "and please dont ask me to call apon my powers..." she said

"come" rumbled Alfabrena, the castle shook. "come outside. come back to my lair. we must see what the enamy is up to." and she took to the skys. not waiting to see if the wolf would listen for she knew the wolf would. Alfabrena knew she had shown the right images to the wolf. what the wolf didnt know was that the dragon only should the bad things that would happen if they failed. that if they full filled the prophacy creatures of old that had left would come back. and the world would return to how it was before the first age of war.

when the wolf got out of the casel she said "i'm not going back to ur lair for have the sight to. and i have seen images to. and the goddes (the moon named luna) told me that ferens (the sun/father to the wolves) will rise in 4 moon cycles and then something bad will happen. and befor that i must finde my pups..." the wolf looked at the dragon and said " i also was tolde to finde a white falcon to gide and help me" and she looked twards the south and said "first we will finde keiry..."

the dragon sighed, then landed next to the she-wolf "fine wolf we will find ur pups. and i know a way of which to begin."

the wolf and the dragon wonder throught the forest untill they reatched a small pool. the dragon asked "why be thier be sutch a pool of water here? and why have we stoped?" the wolf simply tutched her nose to the pool and the water began to swarl and glowe. then immages where in the pool.. imeges of fighting and war then bright yellow eyes were staring back then another pair where staring at her. shockingly blue eues and a almost light ginger bread to cinomin browm colored fur.. then a voice said "this is the one u must finde alonge with the human like creatcher with a bow" it wisperd. inomay know the voice... it was that of her dead doughter bella... then the wolf looked at the dragon for she knew she had not yet seen thease images.

"aaaaahhhhhh" said the dragon, looking curious, "well done wolf. even i have meny things yet to learn about your people and this country." the dragon snakd her neck out to the center of the pool. "now i see what my first glance of this pool left out." at the bottom of the now clear pool was a golden ring. "a magic ring. i thought there were only three such rings in this country but there appears to be at least four." the dragon straightened to her full hight and looked down appon the wolf. all 60 of her gleaming, foot long, dagger like teeth were showing. atomaticaly the wolfs fur stood up but then relxed as the wolf relized the dragon was smiling. "i must remember to add this to my books." the dragon turned from the pool looking out at the old forest. "where do you think we should begin our search wolf?"
