The Shaper ⭐

Birth follows death in an endless cycle. Order is harder to add into the world than destruction. Those who choose good are a blessing to the rest, but they should not think they can solve all of life's difficulties.

Alpha Taak visited the plateau where Witch Shasiek saw them in her dream. The strange-of-scent appeared, male thin and patchy-furred, his mate sleek with health. Tall in hackles and long in claw, The Shaper humbly asked if there was a place to rest from their journey.

Everyone sensed something from their dreams in the couple. The bright fur, the bear-like claws, the sound of insects. It was as if they were a part of the desert come alive. The Shaper showed great wisdom and taught that hunting should not be over-valued. Scavenging cleansed the land and was of great importance to their past-life selves. They may seem bothersome, but it is harmonious to respect the work of flies, vultures, and even coyotes. The pack would not survive the plague of disasters and monsters if they do not consider the needs of "less important" animals.

Within days of his arrival a pup was born with patches of the same bright fur. Shaper said it was a sign granted by good behavior in her last life. He confirmed that Alpha Taak's large claws and Grey Fox's slit eyes were also good signs, but warned against treating wolves different because of how they look. Nonetheless all but Alpha Taak struggle with their unusual appearances. They are not fierce and wise enough to lead, and are frequent targets of jealousy.

Given oversight of couples without a den at 3 1/2 years old, at the death of Kathazia. When his calming nature is not enough he can break up a fight with his unatural, intimidating hackles. At 6 years old he discovered a new cave system further from the growing volcanic activity and moved the low-ranking families there, keeping the volatile den for his own family.
