Chapter One: Evil Recognized

A lone wolf looms over a cliff watching a meadow in the sunset. A peaceful feeling had been transfixed in his heart when he got there. Now, as the sun was going down and an eerie shadow was being placed over the land, he wasn't so sure Paradise was what it seemed. It had been many years since he and his friends had opened Paradise, and the evils of the other world had been left to rot in the apocalypse that was drawing close. Now seeing the shadow made those painful memories return.

Turning around to go back to his, now very large, pack, he starts on his way. The road before the middle aged white wolf was familiar, as he knew where every tree, rock, and hole was. Knowing this made him feel safe, even when he knew that evil was a foot and that some how a hole had been carved into Paradise's barrier. Traveling at a medium fast pace, he finally made it back to his pack's territory.

The white wolf, being the alpha of the pack called a meeting. Four other wolves attended. A large middle aged gray, a chubby middle aged light brown, a dark black middle aged half-breed she-wolf that appeared to be blue, and a youthful yet fully grown tawny wolf with bracelets that adorned one of his front paws. Together, the five wolves made up the council of the pack. Each of them had their own families to speak for, and their own territories, in Paradise, to look after. The four wolves that had just come to the meeting remained silent, waiting for their leader to speak.

Raising his head and looking at the other council members, the white wolf said, "I have called you here today, because I think there is a matter that must be brought to attention." He while the other wolves whispered amongst each other and exchanged knowing glances. Waiting until there was silence again he continued, "Everyday I have been looking over the cliff, watching meadows in our pups play and frolic in. Everyday I have been watching the sun set over those same meadows, and caste out a dark shadow over them. Dark as the night may be, the shadow is darker, and of evil's essence." He stopped once more and looked to the large gray as if telling him it was his turn to speak.

Getting the message loud and clear, the gray started to speak. "Looking over my post, I have seen the same shadow. It haunts the mountains like they've committed the most terrible of sins." He then looks over to the chubby brown.

The brown clears his throat, then starts to speak. "The valleys in which me and my mate have been assigned to look after," he pauses to look at the blue she-wolf then continues, "have been polluted by the dark shadow that seems to be the worst of evil by itself." He then looks to his mate, but in a 'you-about-said-it-all' look, she signals to the young brown.

Seeing that it was finally his turn to speak, he begins, "Gazing at the human villages that border our lands, it seems to me that they have begun to pick up a peculiar behavior. In a way they have become restless, taking on more tasks so they don't have as many the next day. But when sunset comes, they stop with everything and quickly make their way home, not even caring that their almost done, or in the middle of it. The shadow has been plaguing their minds. It seems that they're scared of it, like a pup of child afraid of the dark." He looks over to the white wolf signaling that he is done with his report.

The white wolf begins pacing, his mind in deep thought. Finally he begins, "It seems to me that the shadow is a warning of a great evil that is about to spread over Paradise. Telling us that something has manages to carve a hole in the barrier that protects it." And with that said, he calls the meeting to an end and let the council members go back to their families and tell them the news.

A/N: so how did you like it? This is my first wolf's rain fanfiction. I'm not quite sure where I'm going with this, though. In the next chapter I'm planning on introducing the main character of this story. Did you guys guess who the council members where? I'm sure you did. Anyway please review, I love them reviews : 3
