This was a project in my English class, we had to make up a myth, and I did mine on how the seasons change. I'm going to break it up into chapters so enjoy. I own this. Please don't use the characters (which are wolves) and plot without my permission. All you have to do is ask. I know it's short, but the other chapter's are short too. Thank you and enjoy…
Drisana, the New Hope
Unesdala Gada, a land of eternal winter. Snow and ice cover the ground. The only signs of life were the rabbits, foxes, and many variations of animals with thick fur. There was one group of animals that stood out from the rest. A pack of said to be wise animals that are called the Waya (wolf).
The Aniwahya (wolf clan) were all gathered around the mate of their leader. Awaiting the birth of the pup that the wise Waya, Buddhadev, had prophesized would bring life and beauty to this ice barren land. The sun goddess, Uelanuhi, was present to witness the birth of the new life to Unesdala Gada.
All was silent and tense, until finally at the time when the wind and snow had ceased, the new pup was brought into existence. Once the pup opened its eyes, which was a strange occurrence in the Aniwahya history, life seemed to burst from where the pup lay. Grass seemed to magically sprout from the ice and snow, flowers that were weak from slumber trying hard to break though the frozen barrier of land. Uelanuhi, after snapping out of her astonishment at the sight before her, unleashed the dormant sun to help with the new coming of life.
"Such Beauty," muttered Buddhadev. Uelanuhi could only nod in acknowledgement. Finally once the Aniwahya became aware of the ones around them Avinash, the Waya alpha male, had raised his head and gave a mighty howl. The others had soon followed. The pup, whose gender was found female, tried to stand with all her might but failed. Dayita can only watch in amusement as her pup struggles to raise herself of the ground. But soon her amusement is replaced with amazement as her pup stands up, but this time she stays up.
In this attempt, and success, to stand Dayita studies her pups' physical features, red eyes and white fur obviously pointing to her affiliation to the spring and summer. A name was all that was needed. A name…Dayita thought, looking at her pup.
"Drisana."
Dayita looked at the source of the voice.
"Drisana shall be her name…a true daughter of the sun." said Buddhadev.
"Yes, it fits well. She will need a strong name to keep her going in the future when she is going to fight Go-la," replied Avinash, the new father keeping a close eye on his newborn pup as she swatted the grass with her paw.
"Much training is needed in these six months," Buddhadev said. "By that time she will have enough experience to defeat Go-la, lord of winter and fall, and bring at least another six months of spring and summer to the land before she has to chase and defeat him once again after he has started another ruckus. This will be an eternal battle, so prepare her well."
Then Buddhadev left to join the others in celebrating the new spring.
