Mahlon

It seemed as though he was born from the shadows himself. He appeared as a normal pup to Rayen when she first found him. Everything seemed just fine. But soon his fur grew matted. His teeth and skin started to rot and it seemed as though he was dying from the inside out. Nobody could figure out what was wrong with him, not even Aether. His putrid fur and diseased look caused him to be shunned. He slowly became an outcast, spoken to by none. His hatred grew for those around him. He would sit alone at night, clawing at his own skin wondering why he had to be cursed like this. One day he went to get his share of food and all he heard were screams. He had scratched right through his fur, revealing his ghastly skeleton underneath. He was banished to a dark forest on the outskirts of the pack, never seeing anyone and having to hunt for his own meals. Pups are warned to stay away from him unless they wish to become another skeleton in his pile of bones
