Long ago, when the forests were young and humans and wolves lived in peace, there was a great wolf by the name of Ashcore. He was the immortal leader of the Nature's Core, the earth sub pack of a pack known as the Elementals. Thus, protecting the forests as a guardian was his top priority. There was a young human, a girl he was very close to, that he often visited. She wanted to be a knight and protect the forest as well. They would play and tell stories. But one day, the girls parents bought this steel beast and put her inside. They got in and it ran away, Ashcore couldn't keep up and eventually he hit a wall. Some border between the forests and the world of man. Due to his oaths to the forest, he couldn't go to the forbidden world of humanity. "I will wait for you here, I'll wait for you until the end of time. Please come back to someday!" He howled. The girl understood and promised in her heart that she will return to him. Ashcore was young at the time. But his magic kept his youth. After ten years of not eating or drinking, the girl came back. She was much older now but the light in her blue eyes was the same. She may not be a wolf but she will be welcomed. Years past and she grew sick. Humans don't have the same immune system that wolves do. They didn't eat the same food and the herbalist couldn't do anything to cure her. In a hard decision, Ashcore gave up his immortality and with the magic, she transformed into a wolf. One with blue eyes and white fur, she was given the name Mystriel. Ashcore was no longer a nature guardian so he gave the role up and together he left with Mystriel to form a new pack. This pack is called Silverfell. "Even when I am forgotten, reach out and I'll always be there by your side. Even when the world is against you, I will shelter you beneath my wings, never to be abandoned." -Nature Guardians Oath ((Ashcore to Mystriel)) |

With the hunting duties taken, Ashcore and Mystriel set out to find a herbalist to complete the pack. They wandered their territory, the Coniferous Forest, and eventually came upon a wolf struggling to fend off a bear. Ashcore leaped into the battle and the bear was defeated. The wolf he saved was none other than Bayos, Ashcore's younger brother who came searching for him he had ran away from his old pack. Taking pity on his brother, Ashcore let him join as a scout. But there was still no herbalist. Mystriel tended to any wounds in the meantime but she had little experience and instead raised SC at the crossroads to buy medicines. But SC was becoming hard to come by and food harder as winter approached. Luckily the hunters were rather proficient by this time and brought back medium prey like small does. But the need for a herbalist was rising. Bayos was growing jealous of Ashcore. He could just leave his old pack and make a new one within a moon cycle. Bayos has been struggling on his own and no wolves wanted to join his pack until he joined Ashcore's. He was really jealous when Mystriel had puppies. They were beautiful, healthy, and adventurous. Having the grace of their mother and strength of Ashcore. Their names were Dream and Reality. Reality being more pessimistic and Dream being an adventurous spirit. Cliff and Windsong had puppies too. Four of them. However three of them died to cold leaving only one named Nightshade. Despite being a runt, Nightshade was strong. Her parents were over protective of her. Not even letting Dream and Reality near for fears that the bigger pups would play too rough. Finally, after a harsh winter, a herbalist has arrived at the crossroads looking to join a pack. Their name was Dustfall. They hail from the Riptarian Woodlands. They were really good at making cures so Silverfell had a great storage of them. Soon though, tragedy struck. Dream and Reality both disappeared one night and never were seen again. Mystriel and Ashcore were distraught. Even Windsong couldn't find them. The trail just vanished and it is said they were whisked away to the void. |

Despite it being spring, prey was still scarce and thin. The forest was home to many starting packs and the ecosystem was suffering. So Ashcore and Mystriel decided to move the pack into the mountains. The mountains were welcoming. Lots of trees and bare stone made for easy travel. Caves were perfect sense for the slightly harsher elements like snow and wind. Nearby was a lake, cold and clear with trickling falls and a weak current was perfect for swimming. The sun dazzled off the surface and a variety of herbs grew along the water. The prey were big and Nightshade started leading her own hunting party that she called her "Elements of the Fall". It wasn't long until the pack brought back a huge elk. The mountain packs were friendly and Silverfell set up trade routes with nearby packs. Accepting their pups and sending our own knowing that the pups of Silverfell could be monitored and loved. As the pack grew, things were looking up. Ashcore and Mystriel finally had another litter of puppies. They were named Agethern, Warcry, and Ciceri. Princess Ciceri was sent to another pack to preserve an alliance. Agethern and Warcry became heirs to Silverfell leadership. This time they were watched more closely. Agethern took to studying the stars. She was a beautiful gray pup with blue eyes. Warcry took to combat training and it was clear she would be strong. The sisters didn't always get along but they did work well together. Word soon spread that a plague of influenza was spreading through allied packs. Dustfall made many cures but it was never enough and she was old, so she took on an apprentice by the name of Bloodmist. He was a handsome young wolf with warm amber eyes, coarse brown fur tinted slightly red. He proved to be a great help but his training was short as Dustfall passed and left him with all the work. Luckily the plague came to an end. Bloodmist still had a lot to learn. But Dustfall was a good teacher and taught Bloodmist the basics so he learned the rest on his own. Ashcore and Mystriel had many pups that were sent to other packs. Silverfell was growing and thriving once more |
