Chapter 1: The Forgotten Pup
Flame was on a border patrol with her mate. It was a cold leaf-bare afternoon. The patrol went smoothly untill they scented a stray pup in the area. The found him abandoned near a stream. "What should we do with him?" asked Leo, Flames mate. "He has been abandoned. Maybe we could take care of him," replied Flame. "I don't know, Windshadow is already quite a handful, and now another?" said Flame. "He will be apprenticed soon, and this pup's well being is far more important than your desire to be lazy," retorted the she-wolf. "Fine," replied Wingshadow. They took the pup back to camp and laid him down next to his new mother. In honor of his black fur his mother named him Shadow.

Chapter 2: Blood Red Eyes
A week or two past and Shadow opened his eyes. When they opened it reveled two blood red irises. His father was unsure about the pup. He thought it could be a sign of evil. His mother, on the other hand, found it normal and continued to take care of the pup. That same day Shadow's step brother and another pup, Wingshadow and Nike, was apprenticed. "Wingshadow, your mentor for the next several moons will be Soot. Nike, your mentor will be Diana. May Star Pack light your path," said the alpha she-wolf. The rest of the pack howled in exceptance. Wingshadow bounded to the ground from the pack's ceremony rock and licked his younger brother. He then whent off with Nike to the Apprentice Den. "Isn't it great to be apprentices!" said Nike. "Yeah, the nurrsury was getting crampt anyway," he replied. They then ran off to train with their mentors.
