Ryne's blog

The beginning
Ryne's puppyhood

Hintu - the BloodPack leader - charged at Ryne's mother (Cricket) with all the force of a falling boulder.
Cricket was barreled to the ground with her blood splattering the cave walls. Hintu wrapped his jaws around her neck and bit down until the white wolf stopped struggling.
Hintu's lips curled into an evil smile at the very scent of death.
Once Crickets' life was taken, Hintu then bolted after Ryne's father (Thunder). The gray wolf ran, trying to escape. And he would of, if Hintu hadn't leapt onto his back and pinned him to the ground.
Hintu grabbed the Thunder by his ears and tugged. Thunder yelped, as Hintu then wrapped his jaws around his neck.
Thunder gasped for breath as he felt his body grow lighter and lighter, almost like he was falling through the sky like a feather.
"Ryne," Was all he had time to say.

Hintu trotted back to his pack who had the small gray she-wolf (Ryne) circled.
"Next time, tell your parents not to steal BloodPack's prey." He laughed, sizing up the small pup.
Hintu froze, he had caught sight of the wolf pups' eyes.
"Oh my god!" He exclaimed and leapt backward, stumbling over his own paws, "This she-wolf has the mark of the devil on her!"
The rest of the pack studied the she-wolf, and sure enough they all started acting the same way.
"Her eyes! Her eyes!" Exclaimed another, "Her eyes are different colors! The sure sign of the devil!"
"Her future will not be bright, she will live her life eating from the devil's hands!" Yelped another.
"Shouldn't we kill her then?" A skinny brown wolf circled around the pup.
"Idiot!" His friend shouted and wrestled him to the ground, "If we touch her we'll like get poisined or something. It's the devil ding-song!"
"Oh right." Said hte wolf who was pinned to hte ground.
"Enough." Hintu spat, "Red is right though, if we kill her a curse will be bestowed upon us." Hintu walked forward -as a human - and kicked the gray wolf pup into the cave wall. Ryne yepled in pain as she hit the cold hard, wall, then slid onto the floor.
"Now we flee now! For the devil could be here!" He howled - back in his true form - and he and his pack fled leaving Ryne alone in hte cave to cry over her parents dead bodies.
"Mom!" She exclaimed and nosed her way under the white wolfs' paw. "Mom?" She dug her face into Cricket's mane, the white wolf fur muffled her cries.
After visiting her mother, Ryne ran out of the cave and stopped at her father's body.
"Dad?" She cried, only seeing the same expression of death on the gray wolf's face.
"Why?" Ryne looked up at the bright, full moon, "Why did they die? Why didn't they kill me?" She sat down by Thunder's belly and kept staring up at the moon as a cold wind ruffled her fur.

Paradise..Ryne you must search...for Paradise.. A voice in the wind howled.

"Par-a-dise?" Ryne thingyed her head, pronouncing the word. Ryne didn't know it, but her journey was just beginning.

Ryne, you must leave this land. Leave and never return. There is no hope or misery, just a future ahead. Look to the future, and it will lead you...To Paradise..You must be unafraid, to break away...

Ryne rose to her paws, "Now? Why do I have to leave, I want to stay with my parents."
The wind blew slowly, against Ryne's thick fur, You must go, there is a future ahead for you. A beautiful one. But you cannot unlock it if you are here.
Ryne lowered her head and began walking, as the cold winter snow blew in her face and stung her eyes. The 8 month pup didn't know it, but this was the beginning of a very big journey that would impact her future much more then she thought.

Her travels: The snow

A young, blonde haired girl trudged through the side deep snow as she clutched her sweatshirt in her palms. Snow stung her eyes which forced her to close them tightly, then open them again from time to time.
"Why do I have to search?" She growled, turning into a gray wolf. her tiny paws made the smallest prints you could even imagine. "Why do I have to brave the elements and search for something people don't belive in?"
Suddenly, she heard the caws of...CROWS!
They came from the sky, talons outstretched and beaks wide open.
Ryne ducked as two dive-bombed her at once.
"Hey, knock it off!" Ryne snarled, as one almost took a nip at her ears.
The birds just laughed and idve-bombed her again.
Ryne fell into the snow from the impact from the biggest crow. He stood in the snow next to her. His beedy black eyes bblinked many time. "Food?" He cawed.
"Uhh," Ryne was to confused to think, "No?"
The crow thingyed his head, "No food?"
"No."
"Food?" It asked again.
Ryne got back to her paws, and began to get the idea that this wasn't the smartest bird ever...
Then she got an idea, "Yes, your friends over there are food."
She was shocked to see the huge bird charge after his comrades....
"Oh my god." She yelped, and ran as fast as she could, away from there.


She sat at the top of a cliff over-looking a huge field of white snow. In the sky, the afternoon sun reflected tiny sparkles in the snow.
"They do not belive.." Ryne thought aloud, "But do I belive in Paradise.."

The Flower Maiden will lead you to the place that you will soon yearn to reach, she will lead you to Paradise. When you are almost finished with your journey, you will see why you started searching in the first place.

"There's that voice in the wind again." Ryne grumbled and laid her head on her paws, "The problem is, I don't know what to belive any more. I've lost....I've lost everything..."
She closed her eyes, and let the snow fall around her and freeze into her thick gray coat.
Her stomach gave a low growl, but Ryne ingored it as she let herself drift into sleep.
Am i dying? She thought to herself as she felt her body grow light as a feather. I wouldn't mind dying, right here, and now.

The first Dream of Paradise.

Moutains, long stretching chains of earth capped with beautiful ice.

Hills, green, lush hills going on forever.

Lakes, beautiful shimmering lakes.

The Flowers, Lunar flowers and Roses dot the fields in a pattern; red, white, red, white, red...

Ryne lifted her snouth to the air, "Where am I?" She coughed.

You are having a dream, about Paradise.. Said a voice.

"Para-dise?" She stuttered.

Paradise, the land where flowers dot the fields, the moon shines bright every night, and wolves reign supreme.

Ryne spent the days in her dream running through the fields, howling to the moon and stars.
Paradise. She thought to herself. And her obsession over this world began, when she saw the faces of her parents.

But no matter how fast she ran, she could not catch up to them.

Ryne then realized, she must search...For Paradise...

The First encounter with hunters

Walking...Limping...Staggering through the snow..Only a pup...With one destanation..
"Must..Keep moving.." Ryne yelped.
Suddenly, a gunshot qizzed past her ear. The gray pup turned.
Her eyes grew wide at the sight of a man, a man with a gun and an evil smirk on his face.
"Oh shi-" She gulped.
"Mongrel!" The man shouted and readied his gun.
Ryne, only a pup then, laid her ears back onto her head. Why does he want to shoot me? She whimpered.

Ryne's muscles tensed.

A shot was fired. The bullet wizzed past Ryne's legs as the pup began to run..run and stagger through the snow.
"I can't let him have my pelt!" She yelped and ran on.
Another bullet wizzed past her ears, she ran faster.

Another, only skimming her flank.

Suddenly, Ryne tripped and the gray wolf pup lost her balance and went tumbling down a rabbit den.

It felt like she was was falling into a deep hole of darkness, she clentched her teeth and let herself fall.

"If this is the end," She panted as her body hit the solid ground of the den floor, "I'm sorry I didn't reach..." Her voice grew quieter as pain burned at her shoulder she had landed strangley on, "..Paradise..."

Ryne's point of view, when meeting Rose.

I never thought that day would come, the day that I would actually meet the Flower Maiden. I never thought it likley, for me to stumble across such a being in that city. I always thought of myself as merely one of the other wolves who didn't matter; who couldn't make it; who wouldn't live to see the Flower Maiden; or even Paradise.
But on that sunny day, my spirits were turned right around. It was then that I began thinking, maybe... maybe I was of importance.
When I first looked at the Miaden, I felt something deep inside of me stirr. I never felt a feeling like that before. It's a feeling that I will never be able to describe.

She looked at me, the Maiden did, and I walked over to her.
We meet, at last.. I kept thinking to myself, So you really will lead us to Paradise...
I wish I could have stayed in the moment forever, but that nasty Noble, Lord Peace came.
I will never forget that moment, when he stole Rose from us. I vowed from then on, to always protect her.. I must protect the Flower Maiden... Rose...
