Basically this story is after Kiba and the others found paradise (everyone lives as the story will show) and one of the members of the pack (its kinda obvious) mates with my OC and they have a child named Yuri. Yuri wants to know wat really happened to her parents so long ago and finally gets told the truth tonight (part of it...i gotta make it long remember!) which is where our story starts (after she asks and all that jazz).

".." is words

'..' is thoughts

Disclaimer: I dont own wolf's rain characters but i do own my OC that i've used in 2 stories already lol.

Summary: Yuri, part of the next generation of wolves, is tired of hearing the fake stories her parents tell her to get her to sleep at night. She wants to hear the real gruesome story of how they met and how they found paradise. Tonight is the night when she finally hears the truth and the beginning of a tale long ago.

A Tale Long Ago

Future

A small child played with her doll by the comfortable evening fire. She had lavender color hair that followed every inch of her face and made a circle around it that stopped at shoulder height. Her eyes were deep golden orbs that only a crayon could create. They were a strange color for a human. She was full of sincere innocence and had a content air to her. She laid the small straw doll on her cotton pink skirt and picked up her wolf doll that lay beside her thin ankle.

"Yuri. It's time for dinner."

"Yes, mother!"

Yuri cradled the worn white wolf in her arms and let the doll drop to the floor.

After dinner the small frail child was sent to bed. Her two parents hovered over her preparing to do their nightly ritual to get her to sleep…but today it didn't work. They tried singing, dancing, and promises of candy in the morning but to no avail, as the child would not just go to sleep.

"Yuri, what do we have to do to get you to sleep?"

"Tell me your story. Tell me the time when humans ruled the world while wolves hid in fear. Tell me the tale of the search for…paradise!

"If we tell you Yuri, will you go to sleep?"

"Oh yes mother I promise, cross my heart and hope to die!"

The two parents stared at each other and silently agreed to tell the young girl once again the short, fantasy version of their story.

"Once upon a time," the mother started, "my village was destroyed in a burning flame. Thousands of wolves died and others were wounded. Among them were my family and I. We rushed through the forest and ran through the stream to escape when…"

"No mother. You've told me that story dozens of time. I want the truth now. Uncle Tsume told me his side and it was nothing like yours. I'm old enough now mother. Tell me the crimes of human life and the suffering of the wolves!"

The mother silently looked at her husband for signs of approval. If it were up to her she would never know the gruesome tale until she was a young adult. Shelter was this mother's parental advice from her own mother and that is how she would raise her children if she hadn't met him. Maybe…none of this would be possible if it wasn't for him. Maybe the world would come to an end with no restart and there would be nothing in the universe. The end had come but he was one of the people in the small pack that had saved them all. In her mind it was all his doing but in her best friend, Blue's opinion, it was her husband Hige (a/n: the clue's are narrowed down!).

"She's old enough Lavender."

Lavender or Lavie stared at her husband with surprise. She was but a young girl of 12! This story was meant to be told to an 18-year-old child or older!

Lavie sighed and started again while little Yuri sat up in her bed intently gazing at her tired mother.

"All right Yuri. I will tell you the story of so long ago. It started out with my village in a land called Stray Isle…"
