Prolog:
A black wolf wondered threw a thick blizzard, seeking shelter. His paws were numb and blood covered his face, dripping down from the new wound that ran across his face. His sides heaved with effort as he battled the cold winds that whipped at him and blew back his fur. He lifted his head and howled—long and mournful.
Then—an answering howl. A young brown wolf stepped out from behind a few rocks and looked at him. The brown wolf howled again. The black wolf looked at him and collapsed in the snow. The brown wolf's silver bracelets chimed as he ran to help the black wolf.
A gunshot. Both brown and black wolves turned toward the sound. A bullet pierced the shoulder of the black wolf and he yelped in pain. And the world was black.
