Wolf Language

7 Most Common Animals:

Arkhar—Arkhars are, to put it simple, camels with reindeer-like antlers sitting atop their heads. They range about five feet tall at the hump on their backs and can weigh up to 540 pounds and under their neck is .5 foot long hair. Arkhars are clumsy with their splayed feet and rarely fight off predators. Instead, they pack in like sandwiches and run toward safety. Their antlers (males only, although some females have stubs) are dull and even rounded at the end and are useless when attacking which is why they practically never stand their ground. They mainly live in desert and plateau regions. Live in herds.

Balaen Hog—Balaen Hogs are hog-like with tusks that curve like a candy cane (the tusks curve in more the older they get, thus getting more and more dangerous). Their tails have a bushy patch of fur which is as big as their heads (almost). Balaen Hogs are aggressive and will charge or kill almost any animal except Wallican Seals, Wildeyassan, and Arkahars. One male has a Harem of females (like Zebra).

Common Delingo—These creatures are only .5-1 ft tall. They live in ponds, shallow bays, and lakes. They have stilt-long legs and a duck-like head. When it comes to fight or flight, Common Delingo's take flight without hesitation. They can weigh anywhere between 5-12 pounds. Live in Flocks.

Flu Cah—Cute, adorable, big eyes…. Yes, that's right, and the Wolves eat them! Flu Cahs' bodies are built like a horses' and has one-foot-long wings like an eagles'. However, its head is like a "small-birds" but is covered with eagle-feathers. Flu Cah's can only fly up to about the height of the trees in an average Pine Forest. They have excellent agility and speed, but will never fight. They can weigh 50-80 pounds and are 2-3 feet tall. Live in Herds.

Wallican Seal—These seals are rarely aggressive and can't do much damage with their small tusks (male only). They weigh 135-160 pounds and look like a walrus-seal crossbreed. They live mostly along the large beaches and small islands. Live in Huddles.

Wildeyassan—These creatures are sturdy and have thick fur with a smaller head and large but skinny ears. Normally found in northern climates or cold climates such as the Zenlet Tundra. When threatened, Wildeyassan don't think twice. Immediately, they will charge the predator. Besides the youngsters, Wildeyassan tend not to fear Wolves. Their worst enemy is the cold and the Xeneo (although Xeneo in northern regions is rare). Wildeyassan can weigh anywhere between 1,375-1,550 pounds. Six or more Wolves are usually needed to bring one down. Live in Herds.

Xeneo—Xeneo's are the most deadly creatures. At least seven wolves (on average) are needed to take these beasts down. Worst of all, Xeneo's live in Packs. Up to five can live in a Pack. Xeneo's have a broad head, large mouth and jaws, sloped (down from head to tail) back, horse-like tail, large claws, a sturdy build, and slightly longer back legs for great jumping and acceleration to top-speed. They are 3-4 feet at the shoulder and can weigh 380-420 pounds.

Wolves' Language:

Sun Time—Daytime

Moon Sky/Skies—When the moon reaches its peak in the sky, at 12:00 midnight.

Heusva—One of the three "clans" in a Pack. Example: There is the Finheir Heusva, the Xythe Heusva and the Rihon Heusva in the Alzaar Pack.

I was born into the Finheir Heusva—the top Heusva of the Alzaar pack as a little gray pup. That was one and a half years ago.

"Can't catch me!" I yipped as I slid through the early-fallen snow. Galaxy raced after me in hot pursuit. Her fur was covered in snow now as she attempted to catch my waving tail. I pulled up to a halt and leapt over Galaxy as she came near. I looked back to see if I had lost her—when I bumped into another wolf. I looked up shyly. "Hey," I muttered under my breath as my eyes met Sythenil's hateful gaze. "Quit messing around, Silverflash." She paused. "Galaxy?" Sythenil exclaimed. "I didn't know you were still a little puppy." Sythenil spat. I held my head up and nipped at Sythenil's ear. She snarled, her red-gray coat prickling with scorn. "We'll just have to see what happens tonight," she hissed at us. She turned abruptly around and walked away with a slight spring in her step.

"'Puppy.'" I whispered in disgust. "Why, Galaxy, she's right. Tonight is the night we show her how good we are. Snowfear will—"

"Shh!" Galaxy practically barked. "We aren't supposed to know. Bad enough Sythenil knows. Dad'll think it was us who 'spilled the beans.' Okay?" I kicked at a rock with my paw, ignoring the burning sensation of the wound.

"Whatever…." I moaned. "What does it matter anyway? I could care less whether or not I was a hunter or a—a—Guardian or a Nanny. Not like it—it really matters…." I stammered, clearly lying. What if we want to start our own pack?" I said.

"Snowfear will also tell us about the rules. I'm pretty sure, though, that unless he says so, you can't leave the pack—"

"That's stupid!" I yelled at a Great Mossy Oak as it swayed in the wind, leaves turning brown and gold. I didn't want to get mad at Galaxy. She hadn't done anything wrong. So why not bring it out on this thousand year tree? I fell into a heap and stared at the decaying grass that lied in front of my nose. Before I heard Galaxy trot off, I could feel her dismay and sadness radiate off of her. I covered my eyes with my paws and fell into a deep, restful sleep.
