Here's something of a teaser for a fan fiction that i've been working deligently on for the last week and a half. Inspired by Balto5670's 'Chronicles of Rallan' fan fics, i decided to write my own character's past. So, here we go.


The Kalgorn Trilogy
By: balto678


In the far north, where the landscape is covered in a thick sheet of snow and ice most of the year, wolves live in packs. Using numbers over power to hunt down and kill their prey. Howerver, for a brief period of time, the everlasting snow melts away and a little more color can be seen. This period of time most know as Spring. Several new litters of pups are birthed at this time of year. The one litter payed most attention to is always the alpha. As soon as his mate, the alphesse, goes into heat, she and the alpha will dissappear for awhile and the news of it spreads quickly throughout the pack. Sometimes the news turned out to be false, so you could never really know for sure unless you spied upon the alpha and alphesse to see what they were up to. But this is a serious crime. If you're caught violating their privacy, any punishment from exile to death can be dealt your way. When the spring comes around, everyone expects the alphess to go into labor at any minute. But this is in a pack with very little to worry about. In a pack that's on the brink of a war and currently victim to a famine, whether or not the alphesse was pregnant was the least of their concerns. While the pack, The Inca Pack, struggled to prevent the nearing battle between them and their rival back, The Anglo Pack, many of their numbers were either dieing from hunger or were too weak to be any use to the pack. It was a rough time and, with the famine and all, they didn't need more mouths to feed by having more litters of pups.

But, despite all this, nature still took it's course and the female wolf, Mist, went into heat. She was the alphesse, mate to the alpha, Hiro. Indeed, she fit the description one would expect a female of her status to look like. Slim and strong. Her pelt was a glossy smooth hue of gray. She had a pair of unbelievably warm and beautiful gold eyes. Hiro had the look of dominance. Pure brown coat and penetrating green eyes that seemed to stare right into your soul. It made one feel like he could tell immediatly whether one was lieing or telling the truth. It seemed like that, he'd already executed one wolf from The Anglo Pack for feeding him false news about their agreement to a treaty. Exactly how he knew this was a lie, no one knew, but he explained to them that it was a false lead to get them offguard so that The Anglo Pack could spring a surprise attack on them. As soon as he'd ended the life of the wolf, several other Anglo wolves were seen falling back from their borders. After that, he'd exiled two other wolves found guilty of treason. No one had expected the two to betray their pack. They were two of their top fighters and had been sneaking in and out of the Anglo territory, only to return with information that, potentially, could win them the war should it break out. They were heroes in the eyes of everyone. At one point Hiro had even believed them to be outstounding, loyal, and brave members of their pack. So, naturally, everyone rebelled at the conviction. For a brief moment, it seemed that the two were going to get away with what they'd done. But, at the last minute, proof that the information they were feeding them was not only a lie, but downright madness, presented itself. As it turned out, they discovered that, had they used the information and fought The Anglo Pack then, their pack would have been slaughtered.

The two, Clive and Sythe, had personally told him that The Anglo Pack was planning to attack them on the first blue moon of the year. They would be sneaking over their borders from the north side. The blue moon came, and The Anglo Pack didn't attack. But someone did, and they came at them from the south side, not the north. They were attacked by wolves, not from The Anglo Pack, but from a pack they knew to be an allie of The Anglo Pack's, The Redblood Pack. This only confimed it for Hiro and Mist that they were about to become the center and main target of a war. While most of their fighters marched off to their northern border, a few had been stationed around their borders incase they tried to pull some trickery and sent only half of their numbers to the north border while the other half circled around and attacked them from an unexpected direction. Hiro's suspicion and careful strategiesing saved them from a bloody day of pain and woe. While there was only about five wolves grouped together at certain intervals around their borders, those five wolves were able to hold off the attacking group of Redblood Pack wolves long enough to prevent them from causing too much damage to their pack and territory.

Thanks to the lives of five brave hearts, many lives had been saved and only one wolf was taken prisoner. Needless to say, that one prisoner was returned to them in exchange for the beta wolf they had captured as well. Sadly, however, all five of those fighters were killed that day. But they fought the Redblood wolves off until their dieing breath. As soon as they had seen movement in the serene azure light, they sent out a distress call. All five of them raising their heads and pointing their noses to the moon, letting out a loud group-howl. This caused the Redblood wolves to react. A few, maybe six, seperated from the ranks and ran out to end the cries of the wolves. Their goal was for stealth, and setting off the alarm wasn't on the agenda. However, these wolves were highly trained and took all six of them out without getting more than a few scratches. By the time they had to end their howls to fight for their lives, Hiro and the rest of the pack had already heard the call. Immediatly, they darted off for the opposite end of their territory. The wolves stationed a little closer managed to get there quicker and hold them off until the larger group reached them. Once the Redblood Pack's forces saw them coming, they knew they were fighting a losing battle here and retreated. While they ran away from them, a few were captured and questioned. But they revealed nothing, nothing usefull that is. Because they couldn't have them returning to the Redblood pack and return to fight them again, they were executed. However, they knew the beta they had caught would be worth alot to The Redblood Pack. So, they offered a trade to get back the wolf that had been taken prisoner. The packs agreed to meet up at their borders to do the trade. Luckily, nothing went wrong with it. As soon as the beta was back with his pack, the rest of the wolves growled at them before running off to their own territory.

The wolf they had recieved for the beta gave them news of a traitor in their pack. The news she fed them, for it was a female wolf. Her name was River. Though she wasn't exactly an important member of the pack, she was one of the more stunning of the females. So, Hiro could only assume that their intentions for taking her was for reasons that were less than honorable. The information she gave them was enough to make a few jaws drop. The very words that spilled out of her panic stricken mouth were; "It was Clive and Sythe! They gave me to the Redblood Pack. They're siding with the enemy!" It was unbelieveable. Had she mentioned the names of any other wolves and they would have more than likely tried right then. However, given how much the two in question had done for the pack and how loyal they always were to it, Hiro pushed it aside as the results of shock. She was disoriented and didn't know what she was saying. But later on when he got some time to think things over, it finally dawned on Hiro that Clive and Sythe were playing them for fools. The trade off for River had turned out to be a better deal than expected. At least, for them. The same couldn't be said for The Anglo Pack. After speaking to River again, she explained to him that she had been in the cover of her den when it happened. Clive jumped in and pinned her down while Slythe grabbed her and dragged her out. After that, she had been knocked out and when she awoke, she was surrounded by unfamiliar wolves that didn't look too friendly.

So, you've got one battle gone entirely wrong due to their information and one witness that was able to describe in depth into what had been done to her by the two. It was more proof than Hiro needed. Sentencing them to exile, they were chased off their territory, stripped of their title as Inca Pack's finest and became nothing more than loners. The attack from The Redblood Pack didn't get Hiro thinking they were at a war yet. Because the threat was between them and the Anglo Pack, The Redblood Pack was nothing more than an obsticle thrown there way to weaken them. Despite how quickly there numbers were falling victim to malnutrition. It seemed that The Anglo Pack didn't just want to defeat them, they wanted to slaughter every last one of them. The famine was just one of those unfortunate variables that worked in your enemy's favor. But the war hadn't started yet so there was hope still that the war could be avoided.

His mind was diverted from these problems however by his mate. It was the thing that he liked best about her. He always had her to look forward to every night when he layed down. But this time it wasn't for a nice talk to ease his mind of anything like that. She had gone into labor. As soon as the news reached his ears, he cursed himself for not being with her from the beginning. Without saying another word, literally leaving in the middle of a speach he'd been giving the pack's fighters. It was supposed to be a motivational speech to keep their spirits high. They weren't at war yet, but it felt like it. Anyway, someone had to fill in for Hiro. He was the alpha and had every right to drop everything to be with his mate at the moment their offspring was about to enter the world. However, Hiro was in for a big surprise when he entered the den.


Let me know if it's any good or not.

This is really good! I love it!

Gee, I hope Hiro's mate will be okay. Something tells me that he'd go insane if anything happened to her!

I look forward to more!

Hmm, well, 1 review. Guess it's better than none. Anyway, im thinking I can have this done and sent to the site by Monday

I should have had it done by now, seeing as how i wrote most of it in 9 days. However, i've kinda slacked of on it so that i could post in RP's. The only problem i had was finding a spot to stop at before I could end this one. I found a good place and, fortunatly, it's not far off. So, yea. Monday is my due date.

Im beginning to wonder if anyone is reading this or if it's any good since i've only gotten one reply. . .
Anyway, about what i said in my last post. I don't think i'll have it tomorrow. A friend of mine called and asked if i wanted to go hang out with him today. I havn't seen him for awhile now so i went over at about 3 this afternoon. Only just got back like an hour ago. So, unless i write like a fiend, this will be delayed till Tuesday. Just one extra day to wait, no biggy.
But, because i feel guilty(don't know why since this one isn't looking too popular), Im going to go ahead and post some more. Think of it as something like a consolation prize.



The first thing he noticed was, there was no agonized yelps or screams from Mist. Did I miss it? He asked himself, padding ever closer to his den. Once he looked in, he saw that Mist wasn't giving birth or in labor at all. She was sitting down, her head bowed and silently pawing at the ground of their den. This came as something of a shock for him, not to mention a disapointment. "Mist?" He asked, stepping into their den and padding over to her. His voice holding the tone of confusion.
At his voice, Mist looked up at him and he was surprised to see that she was crying. Her gold eyes moist and her cheeks damp from the tears. Not knowing what was wrong, Hiro sat down next to her and put his arms around her. As soon as he had embraced her, she broke into tears. Burying her face in his neck and sobbing uncontrollably. While he held her, whispering comforting nothings into her ear, he wondered what had happened to upset her like this. He didn't bother asking her anything just yet. He waited for her to calm down enough to speak. Which, despite how much she was crying now, didn't take long. It was like she just had to get it out of her system. Once she had calmed down a bit and just lay there against him, breathing and whimpering, he cleared his throat and asked her the question. "What's wrong Mist?"
For a second, it seemed like she was about to start all over again, but she breathed a few times to relax herself before trying to make words. "Hiro. . ." Her soft voice started, sadness in every syllabul. "You know I love you. It's hard for me to say this to you, me carrying your sons and daughters and all, but I've got to tell you something."
A sense of foreboding overtook Hiro just then. He was afraid of what she was about to say. As soon as she spoke these next words, his life would never be the same again. He tilted his head and tried to keep his expression of sympathy. "What is it?"
Mist pulled away from the embrace. Slipping out of his arms and sitting on her own haunches as she got ready to speak. "Hiro, I've got to leave you."

Time seemed to freeze for Hiro. He tried not to react too much over it, but he knew he couldn't just not react to it at all. It would send the wrong message. Instead of jumping to conclusions like other might have, thinking she was leaving him for some other male, he gave her the time to explain her reasons. Sitting up straight and frowning at her, he scratched his head. His confustion at the situation was preventing him from feeling the need to grieve. "Could you explain to me why Mist?"
She frowned back at him, a few more tears trickling down her cheeks and her lip quivering. "It's nothing you've done, believe me. But, there's a war about to break out. The famine continues and there's no sign of it ending in sight. You know if our pups are raised in this they won't survive long. You've got to stay and lead the pack. To be honest I think they'd be lost without you. Me on the other paw, I just hang around the place dreading what could happen at any moment and walk by countless wolves that think im going to go into labor at any minute. It would just be better off for our pups if I get away from this while I still can."
She honestly sounded like she didn't want to go. It was this tone that made Hiro feel the worst. He knew he had to let her go, but he also felt compelled to go with her. But he couldn't just abandon his pack when they needed him the most. Their efforts to prevent the war looked to be in vein and there wasn't a doubt in his mind that Mist had the right idea. He supposed what he was feeling was just how much he was going to miss her. "Mist. . . I don't blame you. Given a few more days and I probably would be suggesting you do this too. But I guess it's better if you're gone before it's too late." He breathed out. Admitting to what he wished there was another solution to. "But. . . what are you going to do when you finally do go into labor?" He asked, a realization coming to him.
Mist sighed and bowed her head again. "I tried waiting as long as possible. I wanted to have the pups with you by my side but. . . I don't think it's ment to be." She whimpered, causing Hiro to pull her into another embrace. There was very little he could do or say to sway her. She was a stubborn one and, once she had decided on something, it wasn't easy to change her mind. But even if he could changer her mind, he knew it'd be better if he didn't. For the sake of his pups, he had to let her go and take shelter away from here where she could raise the pups in a more 'friendly' environment. Maybe, whenever this was all over, he could go find her and finally see his sons and daughters. Even if it was for the best, it still wasn't easy to do it. It was one thing to say something, but quite another acctually doing it.
"Mist. . ." He sighed, putting a paw to her head and pressing it to his chest. "When. . . do you plan on leaving?"
Even though he had known the answer all along, he still had to ask.
"Tonight. . ." She whimpered. Hiro sighed and nuzzled her. It was hard to comfort someone upset about something when you, too, were upset about the same thing. He was going to miss her dearly, and he knew she would too. If she wasn't, he doubted she'd be crying her eyes out like this.
Everything needed to be said had already been spoken. Now the two just sat there, enjoying their last minutes with each other. Nearly an hour had passed before the movement of someone outside disturbed them. Hiro's ears shot up as did Mist's but it was Hiro who went to go see who it was. It turned out to be a group of wolves that had come to see how Mist was getting along with her birth giving. He then remembered that it was that that had gotten him to rush to her so quickly. With the unexpected news, it had been wiped away from his mind.
"Im sorry, but it was. . . a false alarm." He explained shortly before turning around and walking into his den to find Mist standing up. Her arm raised and head leaned down, wiping the tears from her moist eyes. "Mist, I cannot tell you how much i'm going to miss you" he frowned at her. Every bit of him showing how much he wished she didn't have to go. He would relish every memory he had of her until they were finally reunited. Whether it be in a few months or a year or two.
Mist was just the same. She had stopped crying, but she just frowned at him and nodded her head. Making for the exit of the den. Hiro instinctively followed her out. Mist looked to have expected this and only walked closer to him as they made their way to the borders of their territory. "Where will you go?" Hiro questioned after some time of thought.
"Away from here." she breathed out. Voice shaky like she was only just managing to keep from crying. "Im going to head east. I know The Anglo Pack territory is to the north and The Redblood Pack territory is to the south so, obviously I can't allow our pups to be born in an enemy's terra. They'd be worse off there than here." Mist reasoned. Looking up to him, trying to put on a smile, she continued. "Perhaps i could find refuge in The Lylrite Pack. They aren't too far off and I'm positive I could make it there within a few days before our pups are born."
Hiro sighed. The Lylrite Pack. . . that was probably one of the best options Mist had as far as where she was going to give birth was concerned. Though they weren't exactly an allie pack of theirs, they weren't an enemy pack either. He was sure they would be more than willing to take in Mist, with her being so close to giving birth, and help her out. He just prayed she could make it there safely.

They had reached the border. Where the forest ended, that was as far east as their eastern border streatched. Both Hiro and Mist stood there for a minute or two, savoring their last moments together. They nuzzled each other, silently saying their goodbyes. Hiro wiped away a few of her tears with a paw before lifting her head up by placing a paw under her chin. "Chin up, Mist. We'll see each other again. Till then, you make sure you reach the Lylrite Pack and raise those pups." His voice was clear. The dominant voice he had always had had returned to him, enabling him to see her off with a little less crying or whimpering.
"Hiro. ." She sighed before licking his nose. Signs of tears were forming at the corners of her eyes. Instently, Hiro reacted.
"Mist, please don't start crying again. Otherwise you'll never get going. Where's that brave wolfie I fell in love with?" He put his paws on her shoulders and looked straight into her eyes. "I know she's still in there." But this was enough for Mist. As soon as these words left his lips, her face became more serious and less upset. She nodded her head at him, and smiled back at him. "Thank you Hiro. Goodbye."
With that, she turned around, and walked away. Crossing the border and continuing on. He remained where he sat, watching her until she was nothing more than a speck in the distance. She was gone. "Godspeed Mist" he said silently to himself before heading back. It was only at this time, that he allowed a few tears to fall down his cheeks. Knowing now that he would be sleeping alone at night made him feel less gratefull for the day to end.

* * *

Every one of the days following her departure from her home, Mist was on her guard at all times. It'd been a long time since she had left the safety of The Inca Pack territory. In the back of her mind, she knew it was for the best. She knew that if she stayed, their pups would be dead before they even got the chance to open their eyes. But still, everything about her was screaming at her to turn around and return to Hiro. The first day was the hardest. She was on edge the whole day and found sleep almost impossible to find. She lay there for nearly an hour before she relaxed enough to drift off into sleep.
Mist had decided to turn in as soon as the sky began to get dark. Being pregnant and all, she didn't want to overexert herself. Just to be on the safe side. When she would awake, she'd begin her journey onward. Heading for the Lylrite Pack territory. It was her goal to get there and, with every day, she drew closer to the day she'd give birth to the pups. She feared she wouldn't make it. It was still a long way off. Maybe if she had been running, she might be a bit closer. She continued on, trying to ignore her sore pawpads. She found that food wasn't too hard to track out here. Back in The Inca Pack territory, it had been near impossible. Not because none of them were good trackers or hunters, but because of the famine. There just wasn't alot of food left there.
A week passed by and she still hadn't reached her destination. She was finally out of time.

Wow! I forgot to finish my dinner because I was too busy reading >.<

Good, very good! I feel bad for Hiro and Mist but maybe it's for the best. Write more!

I'm impressed. Waiting for more.

Alright everyone, Part one of The Kalgorn Trilogy is done!. You can read it in my Fan Fic Gallery.

You can read this fan fiction in my gallery.

(Triple post!)

Hmm, did this one go unnoticed?

of course I've noticed, but for your story I have to have some time to savour with it like with a bottle of noble wine (briefly: review in progress;)

*****! That’s a stuff!
I read it just today, but I regret that I haven’t made it earlier. The first chapter was announcing the fine story, but in progress it gets better. Very good and dynamic scene of fight, very touching scene of Mist and Kalgorn finding Hiro.
And suspense is very teasing for continuation. Keep it up!
