The Story of Lela Zaburi Wolves
For those of you just joining . . . we have tried to make a plot in the past . . . but due to a lack of activity, we have moved again, and now we have no plot. This is what has happened on the last two Lela Zaburi Wolves websites, and is just a simple summary. It may be changed as I consult with other members of the old sites.
The Three Packs . . .
Three wolf packs reigned in the Zaburian land untouched by the beasts called Man. There was Janichanua-Zaburi Pack, the Blossoming Leaves. They were cunning but peaceful, and lived as gray wolves in the beautiful middle forests. A pair of gray wolves led them, with an arctic placed here or there. And then there was Baridiganda-Zaburi Pack, the Freezing Winds. Mysterious and cold, these lupines were used to the freezing terrain of the north, which was far from barren to these masters of the arctic. They were the last to be formed, just before the wars, and were led by a solo alphess of both gray and arctic lineage. The oldest wolf pack was Volkenoneka-Zaburi Pack, the Flaming Volcanoes. They were known as dark wolves, with grand fighting abilities and ambitious intentions, though they were really the same as any other. Red and Mexican gray wolves made up the majority of this wolven clan. A pair of regal red wolves led them.
Pack life had always been tense. Prey grew scarce in the winter, territories were lost and gained, and the islands and strait separating the packs were hardly good borders. New pups were born in the spring, old warriors became elders, lone wolves were chased away or welcomed into the group . . . It was the same. Every moon the leaders would come together, just then only four of the five, and speak among themselves, trying to settle disputes about territory and such.
Then the wars came.
The Great Wars . . .
Fire and ice wolves, going into battle . . . Volkenoneka and Baridiganda were rival packs for the most part, although they respected each other greatly for the most part. One dispute over the Red Plains turned into a battle, and from there, turned into a war. Each pack gave the other more excuses to have fights, and eventually the war became two, long periods of time where blood was shed and mangled lupine corpses lay across the ground. They were punctuated only by the needs to lay low and ward off trespassers and threats from minor packs that lay scattered around the islands and neutral continent.
Soon enough, Janichanua got involved, although their first intentions were to make peace. Before the blur of white and red started into a storm of battle, the grays trudged up onto the field and demanded for them to stop. The alpha male spoke to the lone alphess of Baridiganda, and then to the pair of leaders of Volkenoneka, who would not hear it. The leaders struck at them, and the army turned on Janichanua. Baridiganda banded with them and kept the Volkenonekans at bay for a few seasons.
Minor packs were scattered and murdered by the fighting. Some began to enter the battles, trying to destroy the Zaburis and their Great Wars. During one battle, a minor pack called Midnight Dream and their fierce leader, Espio, murdered the Volkenoneka pack’s leaders. The alphas’ granddaughter, Mica, grew enraged and bloodthirsty, using all of her rage to fight the others. Janichanua’s leaders were also wiped out, as was all of their pack.
Baridiganda and their alpha female, Tetesi, remained strong throughout all of this, even when mad Mica came to power. Yet, a solo wolfess named Claire—who had a forbidden love with one of Volkenoneka’s scouts—unwillingly betrayed the main secret that would destroy the pack of the Freezing Winds. And so most of the pack was murdered, except for a small few that were either separated or remained, weak but determined.
A New Beginning . . .
Tetesi of Baridiganda hunted for snowshoe hares in her territory, that being the only thing that she could do at such a time. She stumbled upon an adamant loner, Sentii, who refused to join or leave the territory. And so, naturally, a fight broke out. Eyeing the pair of angry wolves were two arctic ones: Kimiko and Raidon. Kimiko strutted up to Tetesi and asked for a fight over the territory.
Tetesi was outraged. She had defended these lands for countless seasons, lost most of her pack but had survived, and was a very experienced yet independent leader . . . and Kimiko was looking at her with an amused smile, as if she were no more than an inexperienced whelp . . . though Kimiko was a lot younger. And so they fought . . . yet after a couple of strikes Kimiko left, pointed in the direction of the old Janichanua lands, where she took leadership.
Sentii was reluctantly following Tetesi back to the camp, when Mica and her pack showed up. Claiming that Sentii had murdered one of their pups, they attacked them. In the end, a wolfess named Sapphire was killed in the confusion—after Tetesi’s friend, Sarita, showed up. Mica let Sentii go, and unexpectedly her mother—the old shaman, Renaj—appeared and rejoined. Claire, the betrayer of Baridiganda, was allowed to rejoin also, along with her mate, Sunno. Tetesi was rather glad by this, and they went back to their territory.
Pups and Reunions . . .
Kimiko, in the early spring, bore three young ones named Sonya, Kaede, and Reimora—two females and a male. Seeing as there were no betas, these young’uns were the heirs to the throne in the Blossoming Leaves pack. Claire also gave birth to two males and a female, named Theluji, Chafua, and Nya. Fra’kin, Sapphire’s old mate, admitted his love for Mica in Volkenoneka and became the alpha male.
A dark wolf then set paw on Tetesi’s lands. It was none other than Espio, who had murdered Mica’s grandparents, the old alphas, and had caused her to go into such an outrage that she destroyed the others. Surprisingly, once he was allowed to join, it was realized that Sarita had been in his old pack, Midnight Dream. Yet . . . somehow amusingly, Tetesi developed feelings for Espio, ones that Sarita had already had for him . . . leading the dark wolf into confusion. He soon became a hunter, and Sarita was promoted to beta female.
Love and Loss . . .
Mica was, surprisingly, pregnant in the spring. A little before that time, Espio drew Sarita up onto the glacier in Tundra Fields, and told her that she loved her. Her extremely surprising reaction hurt the former alpha of the minor pack, and so he ran off, angry. Meanwhile, Tetesi met up with a loner—previously living in Volkenoneka—named Taka. He developed a crush on her the moment he met her chilling eyes, and Tetesi did nothing but torture him with amused looks and flicks of her tail across his muzzle.
Kimiko’s son, Reimora, met up with the daughter of a pair of loners named Tamazarashi. It was love at first sight for the too, but since Tam belonged a loner, it was a forbidden affair. The leaders knew naught of it, though, and life continued. Mica bore her pups a bit early in the summer, but all six of them survived—although an albino one was born mute, and a few were runty. Espio met with Sarita in another area, a secret cavern, and told her how much she had hurt him. She finally said that she loved him, too, and the pair were happy—but not officially mates.
Tetesi took Taka out for his rank tests, and inadvertently hurt him when she stated that he shouldn’t be a warrior—mostly because she didn’t want him to be harmed in battle. He ran in with a wolf-dog, Sessha, whose plan was to destroy all Volkenonekan wolves to avenge the death of her mate. And she tried to kill Taka, who used to be a Volkenonekan. The alphess tried to stop her, and was about to be killed, but Taka leapt in front of her at the last moment. He almost died, but Tetesi’s loving words kept him alive.
Theluji, one of Claire’s pups, was pestering Espio to take him out of camp for a change to go hunt in the Tundra Fields. Unfortunately, the young wolf slipped into a stream, falling unconscious and almost drowning. He was saved by the hunter, but began to suffer from amnesia and forgot everything except for his own name, a few vague memories, and how to be a wolf in general.
Meanwhile, Tetesi had managed to take her injured love back to the pack’s camp. A mysterious healer, Hatsuyume, saved his life, and Taka became Tetesi’s mate—and the new leader of Baridiganda-Zaburi.
Winter Brings Confusion . . .
The following winter, Tetesi mated with Taka and was expecting pups. Espio and Sarita had grown distant again due to a few arguments. Reimora and Tamazarashi kept seeing each other in secret. Mica and Fra’kin’s six kids were running around and wreaking havoc. Loners wandered the packlands, meeting each other and leaving to go separate ways and two minor packs thrived on the neutral continent.
Tamazarashi was pursuing her brothers when a buffalo, which had rammed into her side and may have broken some of her ribs, injured her. The wandering shaman, Triss, tried to heal her. After a while, the incident faded away into something of no significance, and it wasn’t even found out in the end if Tam survived. But, at that time, a loner named Monxiang . . . murdered Reimora. The Janichanuan family was wracked by grief, and Raidon grew cruel and distant.
Theluji, after being taunted by his sister, suddenly attacked her. His brother, Chafua, stopped the fight but was close to death. Theluji afterwards ran off, to join Volkenoneka later. Hatsuyume, the shaman, took care of him the best she could. Before that, the alpha Taka, and the hunter Espio, had a giant argument, which lead the males to hating each other. Yet then Espio slowly made up with Sarita, and asked her to be his mate—making him beta male.
Spring Brings Death . . .
During the spring, the packs flourished in the great weather. At first, everyone was very excited by the coming warmth and the birth of pups. Yet, in Volkenoneka territory, a dark threat emerged. Sessha met up with Kira, a former Volkenonekan wolf that had a slight grudge against Baridiganda. Ari, who for her own reasons hated Janichanua, showed up, along with a she-wolf named Shadow—who hated one of the other packs of the lands. They formed a small, vengeful band, and were about to set out before coming across Metallica, a dark male, who remained unreasonable and silent during the whole greeting. Shadow and Sessha got out of hand, and—stirred by memories—Ari leapt into the brush, leaving them. Another loner, Faellan, met her and they almost instantly became half friends. They entered Volkenoneka’s Berry Forest and were chased off by Obsidian, one of the pack’s warriors.
Tetesi gave birth as she was hunting in the Tundra Fields. She bore two females—Yukiko and Arashi—and a weak male named Ikazuchi. The little male didn’t make it, which hurt Taka immensely. The females survived, though, and grew up to torment their hired pupsitters, Espio and Hatsuyume, who were started to become friends. Raidon murdered Monxiang, gaining revenge, and a moon after the Gathering began . . .
The information following is subject to change, due to agreements that must be settled beforehand.
Death and Scars . . . and Volcanoes, too . . .
The Gathering passed by, yet Tetesi—who had been Kimiko’s rival ever since the first time she had set paw on her territory—noticed a weakness in Janichanua. The death of Reimora had weakened the others terribly. As they all left, Baridiganda stayed behind by their alpha female’s orders. Even Taka was puzzled, for none of them knew anything about the rivalry between the two females. After waiting a few hours, they rushed into battle, raiding the Janichanuan camp.
Raidon, who had fallen into a kind of coma, was nearly destroyed. Sonya escaped with her sister—who was so badly injured that she died later—yet Baridiganda lost Nya, Claire’s pup, from another wound. Tetesi ran to face Kimiko, her enemy, as the rest of her pack sniffed around the main area for more wolves. Tetesi ripped out Kimiko’s throat, but in that very instant, the arctic Janichanuan tore across Tetesi’s face, leaving her one eye and three nasty scars.
Baridiganda was beyond shocked when they saw their alphess returning . . . but soon she recovered. Espio and Sarita grew distant again, and the brute began to be seen with his best friends—Tetesi and Hatsuyume—a lot more often than with his mate.
The dormant Ember Mountain unexpectedly blew in the early summer, wiping through Volkenoneka. Their territory was damaged, and it seemed that all of the wolves were killed. Janichanua seemed to be defeated, too. Baridiganda, once the weakest and newest Zaburi, was now the only remaining one. Tetesi was heartbroken, though, that the other packs were gone—obviously Espio was glad that they were, though. She was even willing to break up her own pack if they wanted to, though she decided against mentioning it in the end because it would mean fighting against her friends at one point or another, which was unavoidable.
The Present Secrets . . .
Slowly Baridiganda began to settle into normal life again, if a bit wary and shaken by the sudden deaths. Janichanua remained nothing more than a wide land that was hunted in at times but mostly avoided by the arctic wolves. Volkenoneka was left alone altogether, but the prey slowly began to come back. Secrets and rumors floated around . . . a new territory was discovered and named Wisdom Peak.
Some questions remained unanswered, however. Where the Volkenonekans really gone? It was possible that they settled deep within their territory and then left it. Would they return? And, Sonya was the only remaining survivor of the raid on Janichanua. It was possible that she could have come back, and the new betas of Volkenoneka were not present at the time, and it was not know known if they lived through it. A couple of Baridiganda’s members grew so distant that it was as if they weren’t even there, and there were threats of them leaving, too.
What will become of the Zaburis?
