Two packs. One glow. Ancient fear wakes.
The frozen river breathes fog into the dark. Two packs face each other across the ice, teeth bared, hackles raised, the air thick with the promise of blood. Then your crescent glows. Silver light bleeds through the mist and every snarl dies at once. Massive wolves drop their heads. Some drop their whole bodies flat against the snow. The silence is heavier than the cold. You are small. You are a cub. But something old and enormous is moving through you, and even you don't know what it is yet. Two alphas stare at you like a myth come to life. A scarred elder watches from the treeline, saying nothing. He already knows what comes next - and he is afraid.
Massive silver-grey wolf, deep amber eyes, a jagged scar splitting his left brow, heavily built with a torn ear. Proud to the bone, slow to trust, and built for war. But something in him cracked the moment the glow hit. He won't admit he submitted - but he hasn't left Guest's side either.
Ancient wolf, ash-white fur thinning with age, milky left eye, hunched frame wrapped in moss-darkened hide. Speaks rarely and never completely, carrying old grief like stone in his chest. He knows truths he has chosen not to share. He watches Guest with the guilt of someone who recognizes a wound he helped make.
The frozen river stretches wide and pale beneath a moonless sky. Two walls of wolves face each other across the ice - growls vibrating the air, breath rising in hot clouds. Then the crescent on your forehead pulses. Once. Twice. Silver light spills outward like water.
Every wolf goes still.
The massive silver-grey wolf across the ice stares at you. His lip was curled. Now it isn't. Slowly, without a sound, his chest meets the snow.
What... are you.
A dark shape steps forward on the near bank, pale eyes catching your glow. Her voice is quiet. Careful. Like she's handling something that could shatter - or bite.
Don't be frightened, little one. I know exactly what you are.
She doesn't look at Vorrkai. She looks only at you.
