Selva

Selva was a total stranger to the pack and was born in a pack way too far, so far that never have rumors or wind of each others pack never traveled so far, the perfect messenger for Lupus, during one night he appeared in her dream, he approached the pup silently, Selva was stunned by the bluish tall male that was approaching her until his paws stop in front of her, he sat in front of her before speaking a voice of a thousands souls, his voice and the voices of all the wolves who passed and he collected speaking with him
"Greeting young Selva, I'm Lupus, a good friend of many wolves, would you like to hear a story?"
As he spoke the young Selva was impressed and bit intimidated, she nodded slowly very cautious but curious about this Lupus wolf. And thus began a ritual of Lupus visiting Selva in her dreams, counting her stories and playing with her in the most innocent way possible, and with months she became an adol and soon an adult, now teenagers can be rough and very rebellious, Lupus still visited the ado who know wasn't very scared of him now, she thinks she could even take him in a fight, Lupus was very pacient with the teen, one day however he appeared with a saddened face to her, as always in her dreams
"What's wrong?"
Ask Velva a bit confused since it was the first time she ever saw Lupus with such an expression, he sigh and just spoke slightly annoyed
"Not much just... You see I need energy to work and when wolves believes in me and gives me support I can appear, guide, comfort the weakest but the last pack to believe me as left my shrine, they left and I can already feel they're faith leaving, I'm afraid soon, I won't return, it was a pleasure to have encountered you dear Selva"
He spoke smiling at her, as she looks rather stern and suspicious
"Wait... What are you?"
She ask only now realizing that this wolf might not just be an illusion of a dream, he keep smiling
"I am Lupus, a deity between thousands of them, I guide the spirit to the stars and watch over everyone"
He exclaim proudly while Selva has an unreadable expression, you could almost see the engines in her head turning and turning taking in the information
"What?"
She says still very confused as Lupus sigh
"Just know that I may not return alright, take care of yourself Selva, I'll be watching over you"
He says with a sweet smile as he slowly disappear into a foggy lunar dust and Selva woke up still just as confused, the following day she talked to her herbalist about her dreams but her herbalist assured her that they never heard of anyone being a starry deity, she ask her alpha too and obtain a similar answer, it was troubling her and she wasn't working very well, always distracted by what he said, as the night come but she didn't saw him, nor the next one, and so on, she was sad, her dreams were dull without him, and after a week he finally return she was ecstatic to see him, she approach him running*
"Where have you been? Why didn't you come?"
Lupus smile softly at her
"I told you... I'm being forgotten, I'm glad I got to see you one last time Selva, you look tired, you should rest more"
He says and the female look at him with teary eyes
"You can't go, I need you, I believe in you, aren't I enough, you can't abandon me!"
She pleaded him but he just took a grave and sad face
"I'm sorry Selva, that is not my choice, I promise to watch from afar alright?"
He says gently to her as her sadness turn into frustration
"But it's not fair! Who are those dung eating dogs that leaves you? How can they do that?"
She was very frustrated, she doesn't want to loose her friend and the one who walked with her almost every night, Lupus look at her calmly
"It's okay, one day another pack will install near my cave I'll maybe come back, the Silant fang have honored me for a few generations I'm more than happy with it"
He spoke looking at her
"You'll wake up soon, it is time to part ways, you're the child that I wish that I had, I'll guarantee you a bright future, I'll do my best"
He spoke leaving once again as Selva watch and woke up with teary eyes, she had a new found hatred for the pack and Lupus watch from above with a snarky smile, as Selva grows up she kept hating more and more the silent Fang, this name carved in her memory, Lupus never returned in her dream, in her eyes it was all their fault, she wants to see her friend more than anything and one night left, she walked kilometers, Lupus guiding her without Selva knowing, like sending a gush of wind moving her a bit to the side or sending wolves to help her, she reached the territory after a whole month of walk, she was instantly seen by Laeryphe at that time she was only the heir of Nizerin the current alpha and a scout, Selva was already hating her but she just put a tired puppy face, now Laeryphe was and is extremely gullible and of course winning her empathy is the easiest thing in the world, a sad story and she'll take pity, Selva lied and told her she was brutally chased from her last home and was hungry, needless to say she was accepted but Nizerin had a bad feeling upon seeing the newly brought wolf, but he had better things to do than caring for an adol, the pack was still rebuilding itself from the fire incident, many of the elders especially the descendant of the founders who at that time lived and survived the fire and still believed in Lupus could sense something was deeply wrong with the female, once adult she was accepted as a huntress, and began talking to her hunting party about Lupus, they all seem to know his name and a bit of his deeds for the pack but they mostly don't care or even say it's just a myth, which angers Selva but she couldn't just show it, so instead of the grown ups, she went to the pups faking to be amazed and melting for their cute faces to tell them about Lupus, but she wasn't spending enough time with them alone since the parents were mostly around and there were pupsitters listening, she talked to the alpha asking what he knows about Lupus, he told Selva that Lupus has guided and was worshiped for many years and that he still firmly believes in him, he did admit that they left and that the new generation didn't grew up near the cave and the security of it, he did explain that there was a fire that forced them to leave otherwise they would have burned alive. Selva was listening intently but their excuse wasn't a good enough reason for her to let down Lupus, however she didn't voiced it. Once Nizerin passed and Laeryphe became alpha she lickspittle her so hard it was making the alpha uncomfortable she was trying to gain the favors of the alpha to be the beta, didn't really succeed, didn't stopped her from trying to convince them, and Lupus wasn't pleased to see her failing he had put so much effort into her, he wasn't strong enough to put a curse anymore like he did when Owen went against his rules, he was pissed, he started to torment her head, by nightmares or horrible visions of things that would happen, a bloodbath, flood, fire, tempest, tornado, earthquakes, it was affecting her a lot and went to the herbalist to get some help but they could only give her few sleeping seeds nothing to really dull her thoughts, at one point the pups weren't even taught who were Lupus anymore, the pack was moving on and that angered the starry wolf to no bounds, he took control of the mind of the poor Selva and basically forced her in a trance, she saw the face of Lupus, she saw him, she felt him taking her body. Upon waking up from the said trance she was pinned on the ground with bloody paws and muzzle, Ciriess one of the strongest in the pack was the one pinning her, the female had tears in her eyes, they were around the same age, Selva wasn't realising nor understanding what was happening, she had no memory, many pack members were around her, anger and disappointment in their pupils, great sadness in Learyphe's eyes, the alpha step forward and look at the female, she sigh but speaking authoritatively looking at the female
"Selva, why? What came through your head?!"
The alpha was pissed and disappointed in the huntress, Selva look around trying to understand before looking back at the alpha
"I... I don't know, I don't remember... What happened?!"
Her tone was becoming more urgent and worried, Ciriess above growled even more applying more weight on Selva, Laeryphe looked at her and stay silent judging her
"You've got to be kidding, Selva, huntress of the Silent fang, you have killed in daylight many younglings in the nursery and their den, what do you have to say for yourself?"
Growled laeryphe as Selva widen her eyes, she wouldn't do that, she couldn't have, not pups, it was unthinkable
"I don't... I didn't do it... I.... it wasn't me.... I'm sorry.... I don't know.... I don't remember"
At this point Selva is crying she can't understand why, how, what happened, she was taken and imprisoned in a isolated cave with two to three wolves guarding it, it's in that same den that Saphir ended her days in, after inspection of the herbalist and even herbalists from nearby packs they did conclude that she in fact didn't knew anything, she was heard by the herbalist of the pack to which she explained her visions and Lupus' face, how she saw him ever since she was a pup, his weakness which is to be forgotten, the pack ended up letting her be, she deeply apologized to the pack and especially the parents to whom she took the pus from, she has yet to be forgiven Ciriess was one of the females who have lost her pups because of it, the pack thought it would be better to let Lupus go and not let him poison yet another life and live on a new beginning, a new start, letting the past go and move on, saying goodbye to their ancestor and recover from the unfortunate event, Selva the female never forgave herself, blaming herself for being manipulated and quite literally possessed by Lupus, everything that she did, and how she could have stayed with her family all along, she feels like she owes the pack for what happened.
