Short Story
Enastro Vrochi
My deep black paws tread on the forest ground as I let out a strong, loud, howl. The pack members look in my direction and then join me. We run after the new-found gazelle as it gracefully leaps over fallen trees in fright. We follow the path our much trusted snouts tell us the gazelle took. Then the scouts in the lead spots of the formation halt. We sense an unfamiliar presence.
Astrapi Kataigida
I smile my evilly delighted wolfy smile as I know the pack senses my presence. The top of my mouth curls over my fangs. I circle the pack, soundless. My clean white paws make no sound - I trained myself to do so. I howl a threatening howl. The famed pack glances behind their unscarred backs and all around as well. They have the right mind to be scared, for they know who I am...
Enastro Vrochi
It is Astrapi. I knew that one day she would come to us - once she knew it was time.
Astrapi Kataigida
I am Astrapi Kataigida. Famous for what I do best - why spoil it now? Just wait and you'll find out soon enough...

I let out a warning growl. A few soft yet threatening barks, and then I leap. I leap far above the lowest pack members, and I land near the alpha female - Enastro Vrochi. She is known for leading the best pack - without an omega - male or female - by her side. Yet here they are - a whole pack - scared of a lone wolf. But not just any lone wolf- ME.
I do that certain smile that forces whole packs to run for their lives (which to be honest I quite enjoy chasing them, but it is a mere game, not challenge), and I take a white pawed step forward. Another step. Another. I slowly advance until I am face to face with Enastro. Aaaaahhhh, a challenge, I think to myself, finally a battle worthy of being fought.
I growl, lightly, but still threateningly. My deep violet eyes shine in the starlight as I stare into Enastro's bright blue eyes. I sniff. Wait- I sniff again. Is that... Is that... bear?!
The members flee, leaving only me and Enastro. We stare at each other, look around, then stare down the spot that we hear the bear crawling towards. Snap, snap, the bear crushes twigs on it's way towards us. We look at each other, knowing that we will regret what we're about to do, and take each other's sides just so that we can fight off the honeybear.
Enastro Vrochi
Astrapi and I stand side by side, black and white, ready to fight off the threat. We are both famous for our battles; we can't lose. Snap, snap. The honeybear is getting closer. Astrapi and I growl & bark, warning the bear to stay away. It continues it's journey, so we bear our fangs and this time we bark louder. The bear's head emerges within the clearing, then it's short and furry neck, and then it's huge over-fed body with it's four legs.
The honeybear stands on it's hind legs, showing that it will not back down. It lets out a low growl, getting louder and louder, until it too bares its fangs. Astrapi and I look at each other but once, then we lunge for it. Astrapi, being the more fierce of a wolf then I, takes the neck of the bear; whereas I, being the slightly weaker of the two, take the stomach.
