The moon emitted a crimson glow on the ominous sky, as if commanding the winds from an exalted position. The alpha stood at the deepest end of the cavern, his features camouflaged in the dismal atmosphere. His crimson eyes however, igniting the murky cavern, stared on without flickering. The wind howled around the mountains, and as if on cue, the alpha began to speak.
"Clans of El Nath!" he snarled. The clans before him fell in silence as the sound waves ricocheted off the cave walls. The anticipation intensified, while the saffron and scarlet eyes illuminated the chamber like candles. "You have been wronged," he continued. This comment stirred some, and they growled in response. Others waited silently expecting to be told the reason for their gathering. The alpha would not organize a meeting so large for self-pity.
He began again, this time more viciously, "You have been isolated in your own land. You have been persecuted in your own land!" Another pause and the clans began growling with agitation, reminded of their state. "They have ruthlessly brutalized your brothers in your own land!" At this the crowd began flashing fangs. "They have violated and slaughtered your sister in your own land!" he yelled, not able to shroud the growl in his voice. The crowds, similarly, lost themselves to emotion and drew their weapons. They snarled in unison, and a few began to howl. "They are trying to annihilate, to exterminate the wolves in their very land, in their very mountains! And tonight, we will be given back our rights… willingly or unwillingly. Peacefully, or forcefully! Tonight, the wolves," he emphasized every word, "shall howl again!" The clans now aroused snarled, growled, and howled simultaneously, the alpha included. A darker man standing at the cave entrance yelled over the savage crowd.
"Let the claws scrape bone! Let the fangs pierce flesh! Let the wolves erupt out of the canyons! LET US RECLAIM WHAT IS OURS!" he roared, flinging his brown hair away from his eye, and dropping his crystal-blue blade. Snarling, he ripped off his black coat and metamorphosed into a colossal beast. Its eyes a bright yellow, its back hunched and snout extended, it slashed the cavern walls sending sparks flying in all directions. Finally, it let out a howl drowning out all other sounds.
