Title: Legend Land
Character: Kouga
This is a land of legends, of mystical beings shaping the future of an ancient society. Many talk of the mighty clan of dogs, the fierce courage of the last demon slayer, the defiance of a small band of humans and demons alike fighting against a great evil.
Few know my story, my legend. Fewer still remember the sacrifices made by my clan, my brothers. For those that wish to listen, I remind them of what has transpired and how it has affected us all.
I was once a great Prince. I was a mighty warrior, the pride of my pack. Through many trials, I inherited the right to lead. I earned the place of Alpha above all of my kind. Through the sweat upon my brow and the blood in my veins, we made the lesser among us flee in fear.
Our place at the top was glorious. But as the humans say, oh how the mighty do fall; we fell hard. Through a war against an old enemy and a trick of fate by a new one, the wolves suffered a fatal blow. Even with the curse of the Jewel, I could not overcome.
What history has recorded is my biggest failing. What should have been a lesson learned turned to an obsession born out of a torn pride. What the Great Dogs learned, I could not. I turned to another source of power that was not my own and doomed my pack to the silence of the darkness.
I was once a great Prince, I was once a great warrior. Few remember what I have done. Many have willfully forgotten the sacrifices made by my clan, my brothers. It is as it should be.
