Legends of Pyria Chapter 1: His name is Rokhan
Pharyx was living the dream of the wolf, an alpha male of his own pack, ruler of his own gorgeous land, a lovely mate, and never had a bad season during his reign. Things we're perfect for the Kamari pack and its' members and life had never been better. He sat on the top of the Storm Mountain, the tallest mountain in his land, allowing him to view everything. He smiled as the breeze brushed past his face as his eyes closed, "This is great." He said to himself. Everything felt perfect before Reke, the fastest scout in the pack came running up screaming his name wildly,
"PHARYX! ALPHA PHARYX!" He cried out, the brown furred male held a tone of urgency. Pharyx perked his auds and looked down at him and smiled softly, "Calm down Reke, nothing is too urgent you have to scream." Reke nodded and panted heavily, "Sorry alpha… it's just your mate Rouge she i…." Suddenly Pharyx cut him off, "What's wrong with her?" he said sharply, slightly worried she was hurt or even worse. "She…she went into labor some time ago… I came running as fast as I…" suddenly Pharyx rushed past him and yelled, "MOVE!" he said and bolted off down the mountain, running faster than he ever had. Reke turned and shook his head, "yea, nothing isn't too urgent you have a scream…. He says." Reke mimicked his voice and tone. Bolting after him to catch up and rush back to the pack's den grounds.
Back at the den Pharyx skidded to a stop, "where is she? Is Rouge ok?" he said looking around frantically before someone put a paw over his muzzle and shushed him, "Hush son…. She's still giving birth, relax for now." His grandfather said to him, "But Khaz…." He said with a soft whine, his dad cut him off and shook his head, "no buts…. Wait…" he spoke calmly, Pharyx began walking in circles and huffed, walk in an oval shape in front of the den, shuddering every time he heard his mate cry out in pain.
It was not long before the clans head shaman Hemera came walking out of the den, smiling contently and nodded to Pharyx. "All is well…. You may go see her." He nodded and walked beside her, "how'd everything go?" he said with a soft whine, obvious very worried. Hemera giggled and motioned towards the den with her maw, "she did great. The pup was hard to get out." She said and winked, "go check it out." He nodded, "thank you for everything." He said before moving into the den, his eyes adjusting to the darkness within, "Rouge? Are you ok?" he said softly, out from the dark a soft voice came out, "yes… I'm fine." She said, obviously tired from the labor. Pharyx moved by her side and smiled, giving her a loving nuzzle as he looked to see the pups, but shocked only seeing just one. "
Only one?" he said with a smile whine. Rouge gave the side of his maw a lick and giggled, "You sound disappointed love." He smiled and shook his head, "no… just confused." She whined, "About what?" "About why only this pup was born, it worries me." He said and felt his ears droop, Rouge nodded, she knew what he was thinking about, "You're not talking about that old prophecy are you?" she said giggling, "It's just a legend, who cares some old hag told you about you being the chosen one." Pharyx shook his head, "how is it possible it's all true? Look at him… the fur color is nothing like ours, pure white… and he's the only one born of the litter… it can't be a lucky guess…." He said shuddering a bit, knowing what this meant, "Pharyx, you worry too much, let's just enjoy our time of peace hun…" she said softly and he was only happy to oblige. "Very well." Suddenly Rouge blinked softly,
"How did you know he was male?" Pharyx grinned, "Some old hag told me." He laughed softly. Rouge whined, "you're beginning to worry me now…" she said pinning her ears to her skull. Pharyx shook his head and nuzzled her in an affectionate manner only mates could, "don't worry about it…" he said and lay down beside her, Rouge smiled, glad to feel his warmth against hers, "So what are we going to name him." Pharyx smiled, "I feel we should name him Rokhan..." he said smiling, "it's a strong name… and sounds neat." He said hoping she would buy his excuse." Rouge thought, "Rokhan, I like it." She murred deeply and contently. "Our little Rokhan." She said happily nuzzling the pup. Pharyx shook his head, "Our little destroyer…" he said to himself under his breath, the aura the pup held. So young, yet stronger than his. What was his son going to become? Pharyx pondered this and looked out the mouth of the den, night had fallen and time for sleep had come. "I'll think about it later." He thought before cuddling to his mate and joined her in a peaceful slumber. He knew that he needed to speak with the Elders, and soon.
