BrakenStep, born and raised within the pack's borders, carried a burden from birth. Her 'condition'—oddly shaped feet and disproportionately large horns—relegated her to a 'second priority' status. The pack's herbalist, with grim certainty, predicted a short life, citing her deviations from the typical wolf form. Driven by a desperate hope, BrakenStep sought the legendary Immortal Jellyfish, rumored to grant eternal life. Her journey was a grueling odyssey, each step a testament to her determination. Finally, she discovered it: a translucent being drifting serenely down a gentle stream, a tributary leading to the vast ocean. Only then did she comprehend the immense distance she had traversed. With a swift, almost reverent consumption, the jellyfish's essence permeated her being. An oppressive weight, a lifelong companion, vanished, replaced by an exhilarating surge of vitality. It was as if she had been living in a muted shadow, and now, the world burst with vibrant color. A profound peace settled over her. Returning to the pack, she shared her miraculous tale. Reactions were mixed. Some recoiled at the prospect of an endless existence, while others rejoiced at the prospect of BrakenStep, the gentle soul, remaining among them indefinitely.
