Chapter 1: A Humble Day

It was a beautiful morning, the sun peeping above the horizon, causing the dew upon the ground to shine. A magpie chirped, then other joined and they flew off. It was amazing that such splendor was found in this part on the woodlands.
A large brute walked from a bush that was heavy with wild berries. His coat was of light emerald, with a darker hue upon his backside. He reclined to his haunches and his dark green, almost black, eyes looked over the terrain, his terrain.
He contemplated his past, wondering what could be happening where he had come from. The wolf didn't care much, but his conscience had been irritating him about it just recently.
He guessed it had started when the humans began to invade. Turning his head over to a scorched area of the woodlands, he lowered his maw. Why did they start to disrupt them? The wolves had been peaceful with them always. Already three of his pack had been taken for their fur.
"Beast Boy!" The voice of a female called out. The large viridian brute looked over his shoulder.
Soon, a pale pink wolf ambled from the foliage. Her magenta optics met his and she paddled up to him.
"Don't wander off like that. You had half the pack scared nearly to death," She scolded her mate.
Beast Boy sighed. "I'm sorry, Cornflower. I was just...thinking."
Cornflower looked down "About the humans? I was thinking, too."
He shook his head. "No, I was thinking of my past. I wonder what my friends back home are doing."
Cornflower sighed and turned her gaze back upwards. "I can't remember what you said your past was, but I'm sure they are fine. All we have to worry about is those humans."
Beast Boy stood back up. "You're right. My friends can take care of themselves. I have to get back to the pack now. They're probably twice as frightened now that you're gone."
The two alphas then walked back through the foliage, which they had entered in.

The two entered a small clearing in the woods, which many of their kind sat in paranoia. Beast Boy howled to gather their attention and take them from their fear. Instantly, they howled with him and courage remounted.
"Is everyone here? No sightings from humans?" Beast Boy said in a responsible tone.
A young, gray wolf with an ash-colored spot around his right eye tumbled down a hill. He bounced right up, uninjured.
"Iya saw some bushes rattle uppa thar," The wolf pointed up from where he came, "Bigga hunter, bigga firestick. Shoota firestick and firebullet fly out. Bird falla outa sky and hunter fetch bird. Scary, yes."
The wolf ended his chatter and stood, shaking from fear. Beast Boy looked in the direction and sighed. "Humans. Nice job, Sooteye."
The gray wolf grinned. "Iya try." He said braggingly.
Cornflower rolled her eyes. "Just go to rest. You did a nice job today on lookout. Why don't you tell the others how you wrestled off that hunter?"
Sooteye gasped nervously as the others crowded around him to hear the story. He grinned sheepishly and shot Cornflower a glance as she and Beast Boy walked away.
"Heh, heh. Well, Iya hide in sootbush and watcha hunter. Den, one, no treea dozen leap at me! Scary, yes..."

"I don't know what to do," Beast Boy mumbled, "The humans just don't stop coming with those guns and traps. They've already taken Garshan, Kaynoe, and Sakart."
Cornflower nodded, "They don't seem to like us much. They come to bother us when we do nothing. I just don't understand it."
A cry of pain pierced the morning air. The two alphas whizzed around to where the shriek had sounded. They gasped in repulsion and sped off to their territory.

They arrived and Cornflower instantly tripped over a fallen wolf. Tears rushed to her eyes as she stood with her mate, stock-still in terror at what they were witnessing.
A hunter, decked out in all kinds of clothing and protective wear was holding a pup by the scruff of its neck. The pup wailed, crying and whining, but the hunter simply sneered. He raised his other hand to reveal a hunter's knife.
The hunter cackled and brought the knife down. It sunk into the pup's neck, giving it no time to make a sound. He tossed the slain pup down and turned. Beast Boy and Cornflower were right in front of him, snarling with eyes filled with hatred.
Beast Boy leapt at the hunter. The human had no chance. Beast Boy sunk his teeth deep into his arm, locking his jaw shut upon it. The hunter flung his arms wildly to fling the wolf from his arm, but he flailed in vain.
Cornflower seized her opportunity. She ran around the hunter then hurdled herself into him. She clamped her jaw onto his neck, just where it met his shoulder. The hunter bellowed in pain, then collapsed over in death.
The two kept their teeth closed until his body was cold and stiff. Cornflower was the first to let go.
"Beast Boy, come on. I think all of us have done enough."

Beast Boy hung his head low in sorrow. Man had taken two more from his pack. There was only one question: Why?
A large ebony wolf with red-dipped points carried the lifeless pup in his mouth. Another female wolf with similar markings, blue dipped points, dragged a carcass of a mother wolf, the mother of the pup.
The brought the limp forms in front of Beast Boy. They stopped and he raised his crania. He then nodded to Cornflower and she took over.
"Oceana, and her pup, Iris! This morning, these two innocents lost their lives due to hunters. We all will not forget them. They have gone to join our ancestors, fearless warriors, to retire and live in happiness. They shall be buried in the Field of Blue, where Oceana brought Iris to play everyday. It has been said!"
Beast Boy threw his head back and let out a long mournful howl, followed by the entire pack. Then the alpha male stepped forth to speak.
"We all know humans are developing problems with us. Those problems are still unknown, but we will do all we can to stop it. If they declare war, win or lose, we will finish the battle."
