*Meanwhile, the expedition is huddled around a camp fire. Even in the warm climes of Voldamia, the Brigardi stick to it as though not doing so means certain death.* | |

| Mako: well....long ago. long, long ago. The land was inhabited not by men. But by the foxes, and the wolves. The Foxes were cunning, but no fighters. The wolves were smart, and truly ferocious warriors. Rather than warring with one another, like they had long before, the wolves and foxes came to rely upon eachother. Individual wolfpacks would take in groups of the foxes, give them their protection, in exchange for the cunning of the fox. And each pack did prosper through this. At first. | |

| Mako: but, as is the wolf's nature, a peaceful co-existence is unlikely. The wolf packs soon turned upon eachother, fighting first over things like hunting grounds, mates, but soon over other reasons, more personal reasons. Soon nearly every wolfpack did turn upon eachother. | |

| "However, finally things began to change. Two wolfpacks did ally. Two alpha males, born of the same mother, did unite their packs, and embarked upon a quest, a quest given to them by the ancient spirits themselves. To bring peace to the land. And unite the packs under them."
Trajan: true enough | |

| Mako: their packs at their side, they battled the other wolves. They fought many a tough battle, and the tale is far far too long to tell in detail. One wolf was almost killed in his sleep by a foe. One was betrayed by one of his own pack, and almost killed then. Both almost died in battle many many times. But years later, many many years later, they succeeded. All packs were united. All packs were one pack. Their destiny had been fulfilled. But they soon hit a problem, for when all is one pack, there can only be one alpha. And soon, tragically, the two wolves came to blows. | |

| Mako: *nods but continuing for now* the alphas fought eachother from dusk till dawn, beating eachother bloody, biting, slashing, clawing. But in the end, only one would live. only one would rule. With his brother dead, they say the survivor did weep. But at that moment, before all onlookers, a great light did descend upon him, as his body began to fill with the power of the ancient spirits. His body changed, no longer a wolf, but a mighty dragon, wise and strong. The great beast did roar, and wolf and fox alike knelt. To this day, has the dragon and his sons ruled the land.Â
Trajan: it's likely, but not definite. Need to keep eyes on all directions, keep them from sneaking up on us if that's their plan. | |
