He was the largest wolf the world had ever seen. 12 feet long from head to tail, standing 5'3'' at the shoulder and weighing 267 pounds. He was the alpha male and ruled over his 25 mile territory. Most wolves can only hunt animals up to small deer, but he could take down a moose single handedly. He was feared by most, except for his pack. He was called death-runner by his pack and earned the title.

Death runner had large green eyes along with fur of pure white, except for a single black stripe along his neck and down his snout. His right eye had three claw marks from when death runner fought and defeated a large black bear on his own when he was only five. At night he spent his time howling loud and powerful roars that the moon wanted to run from. Few could enter his territory and live to tell the tale. Those beings were his prey which he respected and a human female.

Death runner had noticed a rancid and recognizable smell, the smell of death. He ran at the predator who dared enter his territory as if was theirs. He found a small human woman with yellow skin and long pink hair. A black wolf with eyes just as black approached her. Death runner noticed the look on the wolves face. It was a look of happiness as they cornered his prey.

Death runner approached as quietly as possible, masking his scent by covering his large body with the earth. The black wolf snarled, exposing long sharp canines. The wolf approached the human snapping his jaws as it walked. Death runner pounced from the bushes he was hiding in landing in front of the girl. Death runner did not care for most humans but he felt the need to protect this one. He spoke to the wolf in a voice deeper and louder than any wolves "father, leave and find somewhere else to hunt. She and all animals in my territory are mine to take!" the father wolf backed up ever so slowly and lunged forward. Death runner side step he, only receiving a small cut on his chest. He bit down on the black wolf's throat. It let out a booming bark before death runner dropped his limp body.

Death runner turned to the female and looked at her with sympathy. She was frightened deeply as he saw it in her eyes. He approached her causing her to let out a high pitched yelp. While she closed her eyes death runner rubbed his head on her arm. He had seen dogs get close to humans to show compassion. Death runner looked at her, his head only an inch lower than hers. Her feared face slowly faded away as he stood there with sympathy. He never cared for a human, but this one was still getting to him. "It's because she's weak and unprepared. How could this human survive in whatever forest they live in is beyond my comprehension" death runner though.

"t-thank you w-wolf" the human spoke a soft voice. I-I ha-have to go now" she added, fearing the wolf that is death rider. She began to walk away eyeing him as she left. He decided to follow her and escort her to wherever she was heading. His pack found him soon after. "I saw your father dead, and you seem to be following a live human, why?" his fellow wolf asked. That wolf was his brother blood bite. "This human shows no sign or intent on our harm. I saved her as our father tried to kill it. I am escorting it to its home brother, nothing more" his brother seemed upset. "But brother, remember what…" he was cut off by a glare from death runner. "I remember what they did to him, and how they killed him with one of their silver tools. This one had none and was going to be killed. It is defenseless like a fawn and I care for this one and you shall too." Blood bite and the other wolves looked concerned but nodded.

Death runner and his pack quietly followed behind her until they reached the clearing. There they found five more humans waiting at the edge. Death runner signaled his fellow pack members to wait until he gave further orders. "There you are fluttershy, we were looking all over for you." A multicolored one spoke, her hair in the colors of a rainbow. "Yes dear, I feared a fearsome beast might have taken you when you suddenly walked away" said, looking at her. Death runner did not take the insult well, even if it wasn't towards him specifically. He stepped out, glaring at the six. He was around the same height as all of them and was bigger if his body was accounted for as well. They all paled and shrieked except for the yellow one, fluttershy.

"Now now, don't be afraid of him girls. He saved me from a big mean wolf and he deserves respect." Fluttershy said, petting under his jaw. Death runner could sense the laughter of his pack as he was being pet. He looked at them and saw they all feared him except fluttershy and a pink one. The white one with purple hair seemed the most afraid. "These humans I despise the most, they fear dirt and other things as well as me. How they aren't dead is a miracle." One of them, an orangeish one with yellow hair approached him. "This big ol' wolf saved ya' fluttershy?" she seemed to be the most nature bound and recovered quicker than the others. He liked this one more than the standard human, he could tell. Death runner walked away and headed back into the forest.

"Hey there Mr. cuddles" blood bite chucked. "You say anything to the pack and you'll end up like the deer we hunt, or enemy packs" death runner added coldly. Blood bite chucked once more "yea, yea. Sure thing fuzzy"

The next day he was walking to find any hostile wolves in the area. He found the human female fluttershy in the forest again. He walked towards her and noticed something. The animals in the area seemed to come to her. She noticed him and put a bone shaped item on the ground. He bit the item to find that it was a food, not a device. He sat near her for the rest of the day. This kept up multiple times for around two weeks. One day a human entered the forest, but it wasn't her.

Death runner approached the human, stalking him from the thick grass. He was larger than the fluttershy human and had the steel tool that killed one of his comrades in past years. He also was standing over a dead deer. Death runner was furious. A human which had killed his game on his land, and was the same human to kill his pack member three years back. Death runner bolted after the human from the grass. The human noticed him and swung the grey tool in his direction. Something resembling lightning came from it as he ran. He was hit by another when he reached him from across the grassy field. Death runner tackled him down and bit at his throat. His 4 ½ inch canines pierced it and he laid dead, only after a sharp long tool resembling a grey leaf entered his chest...

Blood bite ran up to him and looked horrified. "Brother, you are hurt!" he screamed. Death runner noticed the bloody holes that was on his lower neck/ chest area. He also had a slash from the blade on his lower shoulder. "Brother Listen, I fear it is my time. I have lived a good 19 years but I must soon depart. Take care of the pack, new alpha. I have hopes for you"

Death runner limped to the high rocks on a hill. He starred at the moon and felt a tired happiness sweep over him. He had sustained many injuries, but never any that deep. He could feel pain in every breath. He starred at the moon and howled a long pain filled howl. He knew that it would be his last on this world. Dozens of wolves and dogs responded to the well-known wolves final death cry. Death runner said his final words. "Take care brothers, I have faith in you".
