All stories start once upon a time, and this one is sadly no exception. Off an uncharted shore there is an island that exhibits a strange spiritual pulling force that some claim to have felt, yet others feel nothing and are never drawn to the island. Some think that their fates are decided by the island and once they feel the pull they are the island's forever; others try to combat the force and, though they may manage to walk away, will carry the want to go for life.
Some time ago, two wolves - siblings - came to the shore and looked across at the island. Maybe it was fate, but the pull of the island caused them to exhibit an unconscious impulse to swim across the channel separating it from its nearest shore. Their names were Saint and Constant and they were the first two inhabitants of Exitosus.
Saint decided he should start a pack and laid claim over the island, since there seemed to be uninhabited. Wolves began to arrive - some by choice, some by destiny. Saint soon found himself with something that at least resembled a pack, complete with a hierarchy and a number of faithful and loyal wolves. Most of the wolves who made an appearance also happened to be Seers.
The first seer meeting made known to them the presence of an apparition that dwelled in an alternate dimension parallel to the island. It taunted them with little bits from their history and did the opposite of endearing itself to them, and then told them to go hunt for three things – bones, apparently. The skull was found by Saint, the ribcage by Marquis and the pelvis by Teuic and after arranging the things in order the gathering woke up and went their separate ways. There seemed to be no common urge to stick around and discuss the happenings.
Soon after a pack meeting was called. This ended in a good part of the pack receiving promotions, and some of them receiving their first real rank, having been subordinate before this point.
After that another wolf joined the pack, her name was Calypso. Saint accepted the female as a subordinate. Out hunting with Saint after her acceptance, Calypso unfortunately took a hit from a stag's hoof and died. With the help of Mikolaj, Saint dragged her to the Animositas Petra. Suffice to say it ended with Saint giving up something though he didn't know what it was and Calypso being returned to life because of that. In the way of 'happily ever after', the two did fall in love and soon Calypso was promoted to the rank of Alpha female, assisting Saint in his rule.
A year passed. Pups were born, wolves died. Seer meetings were held and more confusing things were added into the equation. Along with the usual amount of pups came Kitten, son of Calypso and Saint. From the beginning, it was deemed that the wolf was severely evil - a point which was soon proven when he killed his brother Thorn and was exiled from the pack.
Not long afterward, Kitten and his sister Ixia started a rebel pack. Kitten made no move to keep his motives private; to kill his parents and take control of Exitosus. He collected a few good wolves, every day building up to the day where his plan would be set into motion.
This day is no more than a blink away.
