Having never seen the horrors of the packs, the young pup Raymond was chosen out of his two siblings Peter and Winston to lead. He was placed in a small pool outlined by a ring of crystals and offered up to the wolves of the stars for their blessings. Raymond went through excruciating pain that seemed to last forever as he saw visions flash by, he could hardly make out any of them as he was more focused on the pain. After one last surge he opened his eyes to stare at another wolf with the former lead Sage next to it. The wolf was large and ghostlike, shimmering and shifting as its blinding white eyes bore into his very soul. Silently it lowered its head in acceptance. He tried to speak but only bubbles came out as the two wolves faded, he became aware of his suffocation. After clawing his way up and out of the pool several of the pack members bowed to him, their eyes wide and in awe. Confused and with aching bones the young Raymond looked back into the pool, seeing a unknown large handsome male staring him back with two glowing brown and blue eyes and a glowing white pawprint on his shoulder.
