side fought bravely, but if it continued on both side would loose. So, Lunaria took the coyote and mixed it with a little less than half the size of a bear, and mixed the foxes cunning with the combination and created wolves. But," she continued, eyeing her children, emphasizing the last word, "Sulanei heard of this and made his own mixed creature. He took the gorilla's size and chimpanzie's knowledge and created a hairless thing that walked on two legs and made things with their hands that surpassed everyone's knowledge. Both sides fought with honor and pride, but it was Sulanei's creatures that won the battle with the help of the demons. Though, the demons went against their own bretheren." Tilania sighed sadly and shook her disappointingly and continued, "The demons made things that sheltered them from the weather, and monsters that they would go inside of to move faster. Then, they started to kill all of the animals that got in their way."

The three pups gasped and whimpered at this. How could anyone betray their own kind like that? And why? "The demons created these sticks that sounded like thunder and killed anything with ease without even fighting. Though through their easy life, the demons have lost most of their sense of smell and hearing, so they created these things that may look like us but aren't wolves. These hounds, these pets of the demons, are as bad as they are," her mother bared her teeth and a low growl formed in her throat with anger, "They're the nose and ears of their master demons and do whatever it is they say, no matter what!"

Lunitone flattened her ears against her head and whimpered as she thought of what the demons and their pets looked like. She looked up at the sun and it shone bright in her good eye. The sun shone brighter and brighter until her whole field of vision was white from the sun and then eveything turned black.

Lunitone opened her eyes quickly and looked around her. She was still in the bush from yesterday, the stench of the demon was faint. She sighed in relief and stood up, stretching out her back and front legs and yawned heavily. She sniffed the air and smelt rain and lighting approaching her way. She got out of the bush and looked up at the sky. The sun was out but there were grey storm clouds creeping in from the left side of the bush. If I hurry, I'll be able to make it to the den before the rain comes in. She thought to herself and started to clamber up the rock pile to her home. As she came to the rock bridge, she smelt an unfamiliar scent. She lowered her snout to the ground to get a better wiff, and caught a scent of three intruding animals. Mom probably killed them fi they were any threat. She thought confident in her mother's fighting abilities, and continued to climb with more confidence. She felt as though all of her fear had left her after using it all up in the demon incident. As the pup jumped up on the platue the strange animal scent increased with the scent of wolf. It was more than normal and caution crept up into her brain, and she walked slowly toward the cave.

She froze in her footsteps as she heard claws clatter against the cave floor and advance toward the cave opening. The creature emerged from the cave's shadowy inside and yawned with a hint of a growl in its waking. The creature was a wolverine with fresh cuts and bites from the day before. Lunitone stood there, hoping it wouldn't smell her. The creature sniffed the air its little ears perking up in surprise and it looked over at Lunitone and growled. The wolverine took a threatening stance and snarled at the still pup, its yellow teeth showing and breath reeking of a fresh kill. Fresh kill. Lunitone's eyes widened as she smeled the wrecking smell of a dead canine on the wolverine's breath; it smelt so familiar. She finally recognized the scent as her mother and brother's blood.

Out of sadness and fear, Lunitone yelped and howled as loudly as she could, her voice echoing throguh the sky. The wolverine got closer and finally lunged at her, jaws open to get a hold of her soft fur, its claws were out in a stricking position, waiting to tear apart her skin and reveal her precious blood. The wolf pup backed away instinctively and heard the wovlerine's jaws snap together in mid-air, but the claws got her left eye. She whined in pain and backed away even more. She was still in stricking distance from the wolverine and it slashed at her again with one of its massive paws. She ducked and felt the paw's claws slash across the top of her muzzle, just missing her precious nose. She yipped again and retreated even furhter back away from the wolverine, making sure it couldn't strike without moving forward again.

Her yipping and the wolverine's growling woke up the other two wolverines. When the two newcomers saw what was happening, they snarled and growled in a grinning way. The wolverine that was in front of Lunitone pushed her backwards onto her side to reveal her neck. She stayed on the ground and looked up at the wolverine's gleaming evil eyes as it towered over her, getting ready to make the killing blow. Lunitone closed her eyes and felt the blood from the first wound seep through the opening and slide down her cheek, almost acting like a tear that she could not shed. The blood on the top of her muzzle dripped down to the rocky ground as she scrunched it up tensely, waiting for the wolverine to attack.

Though another growl interrupted the wolverine's assualt. As the wolverine looked over to see the intruder, a large fur bearing animal rammed into the wolverine, causing it to roll and fall on its side. Lunitone looked up at her savior and saw an old grey wolf, about ten years old, with a long scar over his left eye that has caused the eye lid to be swollen shut. He's just like me, Lunitone thought to herself, still looking at the old wolf, he's blind too! The wolverine got up and leaped onto the wolf, both of them snarling and biting at eachother ferociously. The other two wolverines snarled at the two fighting animals. Both of the remaining wolverines looked at Lunitone and advanced toward her, teeth bared and fur on end. Getting up, the pup ran off downhill toward the grass at the bottom of the hill. Instead of her cautious stepping she leaped from rock to rock with no problems despite her blind eye. The wolverines follwoed her, also leaping from rock to rock to try to catch the little puppy. Lunitone reached the rock bridge and leaped onto it and walked slowly across it.

Thunder boomed across the sky and little droplets of rain came down slowly at first and then grew in number and speed. She was soaking wet when the wolverines came close to the bridge, and she walked across the bridge, trying not to slip on the slick rock. The wolveines went on the rock one by one, the first one growled loudly. Lunitone turned her whole body around slowly and faced the wovleines, still retreating slowly on the rock. The wolverine tired to lunge at her but it slipped on the wet rock and fell over the side of the bridge, but caught the edge of the rock. It tried desperately to get back on the rock, clawing at the surface as its companion watched its frantic attempts, but its claws only slipped off and the wolverine fell down the deep trench to its death. The second wolverine just advanced a bit quicker to Lunitone, who had gained a bit more distance away from the pasued wolverines, and tried to get in close enough to just swipe at her.

She looked behind her and noticed she was close enough fromt he end of the bridge to jump it. The wolverine advanced quickly toward her, but Lunitone was too quick; she turned and jumped off the bridge and landed on a rock on the other side. She looked back at the wolverine. It was hesitating, deciding on whether to chance the jump or not. After seeing what happened to its companion, the wolverine continued to lumber across the bridge, watching Lunitone run and leap down the rocky hill. Jumping from rock to rock, Lunitone stopped at about five yards away from the bottom of the hill. She breathed heavily and looked back up the hill, wondering how the old wolf was handling the wolverine. Her ears perked as she heard a low growl in front of her. She lowered her sights and saw the wolverine growling and snarling at her.

Her blood rushed faster through her veins and her heart started to pound faster with fear and the short fuse of adreneline zoomed through her whole body, and turning tail ran back down the slippery hill. The wolverine followed, little rocks tumbling downhill after her. The wolverine leaped at her and tackled her little body. She yipped as she and the wolverine tumbled in the rocks, fighting eachother. Lunitone turned her head and bit into the wolverine's paw and it shoved her back against a rock, her little body slamming against the hard wet stones. As Lunitone smacked against the rock, cold blood came up to her mouth and she wind knocked out of her. She slumped to the rocky ground and coughed, spitting out the little blood in her mouth. Moving for the next attack, Lunitone crawled to her paws and staggered slowly back towards the bottom of the pile.

The wolverine jumped from rock to rock towards Lunitone, not easily giving up the chase. The pup stopped and looked over her shoulder, seeing the wolverine only three feet away from her. Before she could jump away from the hungry being, the wolverine takled her its heavy body pushing them both forward down the rocky slope. The two canines tumbled down the rock, their ribs and backs smashing against the hard stones. Lunitone placed her paws on the wolverine's stomach, while they were in the air for a short time, and pushed as hard as she could prying the wolverine off of her little body. She curled into a ball and bounced off one of the rocks and landed
