It had been an hour since the meeting had taken place and the council members were among their pack. ((A/N: they split the pack into 4 packs of family and stray wolves.)) The news of the shadow spread fear throughout the packs. A excited murmur swept across the packs as they whispered and exchanged uneasy glances. This had been what the council members had feared would happen. Chaos was slowly going to rise within the ranks of the wolves, and they had no way of stopping it.

The white wolf glanced around at everyone. The packs all seemed to be in a state of panic. Turning his head he saw a reddish-brown wolf looking unfazed by this. The wolf has a look of amusement and is eves-dropping on some of the older wolves conversations. The wolf chuckles at the wolves after hearing their scared babblings.

The white wolf slowly walks over to the younger wolf. Upon arrival the red one becomes quiet and lowers it's head. Looking somewhat amused the white wolf says to the red wolf, "Xero, you seem the calmest of the bunch, why is this so?"

Xero sighs. She looks up to her leader and replies, "Because I believe this to be the beginning of something much more." At this everyone became quiet again. "There's no need to get worked up right now."

Upon hearing this, the white wolf asks, "And, what should we be doing now?"

She thinks a minute and then replies, "Keeping our heads. Using them to think of a plan to rid Paradise of the evil that is about to strike. Or at least try to figure out what this evil is."

The white wolf looks at her suspiciously. "What makes you think the shadow isn't the evil?"

"Because things out of nature are warnings, not the actually doings. I've noticed many of them. Though, the ones I've seen are harder to locate."

"How did you locate them, and what were they?"

She looks around. They seem to have to crowd's attention. She smiles a little; she was now going to dramatize it. "Looking to the stars as I do ever night, I noticed my favorite star wasn't there. Trying to locate it, I noticed a gaping blackness. At first I thought my sight was failing me already. Later I figured out that my star was a part of a bunch of stars, in a thing called a constellation. That was when I realized that the whole constellation must have been missing. I was devastated, that was why I didn't tell you about it sooner." Under her breath she mumbles, "That, and you would have thought I was crazy, like everyone else." She continues with the story after she catches the white wolf's gaze. "The next one was when I was at the river. I was lying in the grass, looking up at the clouds when I notice one in particular. Have you ever seen a glyph before?" she asks looking at the white wolf then at every other wolf in the crowd. Seeing none of them had she sighs and continues. "Well a glyph is a type of writing…. and of course me being the weird know-it-all wolf , I am, I would know what they mean. This one, though, this one read 'havoc'. I didn't think that was a good sign."

"So why didn't you tell us about this one?"

"You wouldn't have believed me…."

"…….." the white wolf remains silent. "Continue, please."

"Well the last warning I saw would probably classify with the worst of them. This was one I think everyone should have noticed. The moon…it no longer hears our song."
