This is an alternate story that has been based off of Wolves of the Beyond. I have added some different creatures so it isn't exactly like Wolves of the Beyond.

I never really realized how owls are so alike to wolves. Then again, I'm not exactly sure what wolves actually do. I looked over at Quim, he is sleeping and he looks pretty content. I stood up to my full height and stared up at the stars in the sky. My midnight black coat was barely visible in the dark. The only thing you could see was the silvery flecks in my eyes. It made me the perfect ninja.

Morning came and I was still awake since the night before. "Yan? Up already?" Quim asked. "I've been up since last night. The quake kind of... Shook me." I replied. "Yes, it s-shook me t-too. I c-could barely f-fly, I thought m-my wings would lock." He looked down past the bare branch he was perched on. I could tell he was nervous, he would always stutter when he was. I knew if he locked his wings he would plummet to the ground and die. I was worried about that. I had to look after him all night, I just couldn't tell him that. He has to keep his confidence. "Are you ready to go? I'm not sure where to go, though." I glanced around to see nothing but trees. "I could fly up and see an aerial view of the area." He offered. "Thanks, Quim. It would really help a lot if we could find other survivors." He flew up right under the clouds. I wonder what the view was like up there.

The snow began to sting my muzzle as I ran faster and faster. Quim was flying up ahead, "I see something!" He screeches. I drift to a stop right into a powdery snow bank. The glistening white snow put the perfect touch to my dark fur. I shake the snow off and meet Quim next to a tree. I looked over to where Quim's eyes met. Standing there with bow in hand, a beautiful wood elf. She looked as if she were going to cry.
