Desperate Howls v.1 - Maintenance Mode Enabled

For thousands of years, wolves have dwelt in the hidden land of Aries, a secluded land long forgotten by the human race. Aries was home to many hundreds of wolves, growing fat off of the plentiful prey, and reproducing as quickly as flies. None of the creatures seemed to have a care in the world, for the Land of Aries was heaven upon Earth.

Yet it had always been foretold that their fragile world would one day shatter, and so the time came of the Completion, the day the most powerful prophecy ever fantasized finally became reality. For years, many packs had come and gone, yet the two fiercest and largest of packs were the Egren and the Valgon Packs. The prophecy had predicted that the thin border of peace between the two packs would hence forth break, and all hell would set loose in the land of Aries.

A war, greater than any war ever known, was fought between the Egren and the Valgon wolves for many long moons. Aries was no longer heaven on Earth, but a wrathful place, dreaded by the fiercest of canines. Even as years passed by, the war never seemed to stop, and with each death of a wolf, more arose to take their place, all fighting with an equal strength.

But though the prophecy had finally come true, no wolf could understand what was next to come. Through the many years, parts of the prophecy had been left, forgotten, and with each bit that faded away, another piece of the puzzle went missing. There wasn’t a single soul that could hope to know what the future brought them; they only knew that there was something more.

As the war raged on, many were divided amongst the packs, fearful of them both, and not sure where their destinies would take them. These wolves became the Rebel Pack, fighting against both the Egren and the Valgon, in hopes of conquering them once and for all, and restore piece in the land of Aries, their beloved home.

Yet as strong as the Rebel Pack grew, they were no match for the strong warriors of the Egren and the Valgon, and they crumbled into oblivion. Their forces scattered, and were safe no more in Aries for they were hated by all of the inhabitants. The remains of the Rebel Pack trekked to a new land, a land where they could live in peace, without the constant memory of the Completion and the Great War, as they called it. But it was not meant to be.

The prophecy still seemed to haunt the former Rebel Pack. Every now in then, word would spread that there had been a dream, a dream that predicted what the missing parts of the prophecy had been, and suddenly everyone would feel a chill, rippling down their spines, but still, no one could piece it together. Everything seemed vague, haunting, almost, and even in their new home, the wolves still seemed to be in the midst of Aries.

And then, many years later, the answers were finally awakening, staring down each and every wolf, right in the eye. Each wolf was given a dream, each one telling them to return to the land of Aries, for the wolves that had remained were in desperate need of their help. But no one was prepared to leave their home, and help the wolves who had driven them out. They would not pay heed to their warning, or their brethrens’ desperate howls.

Time went by, and still, dreams followed the wolves, whispering words of wisdom, all instructing them to return to Aries, and help the others fight against an unknown force. And soon, the wolves again were divided in their belief, many persuaded by the mysterious haunts, and others wanting nothing to do with their past and Aries.

It was then when a force was formed, a team of wolves who had volunteered to travel back to Aries and settle the predicament once and for all. They called in the Mission of Truth, so that they may find out what truly had happened in the Great War, and what help was so urgently needed. Yet the plan back-fired. Many wolves had been against it, and fought the team until they were no more.

Now the troubles seem to have begun once more, for the dreams are fiercer and more persistent. More and more wolves are beginning to believe it is the right thing to return to Aries, and a second pack of wolves has slowly begun to form, in secret, hoping to stand a chance for wait awaited them in Aries. But their trouble starts before their quest begins. Still, wolves have their doubts, furious at this ‘Secret Pack’, and the pack is threatened that they will be demolished once and for all.

As the tension grows between the former Rebels, and the Secret Pack’s numbers grow, you must find your place amongst these wolves if you have any chance of survival. Will you fight back against the Secret Pack, or will you pay heed to Aries’ desperate howls?
