How It Ends

Original

At first, they were strong – beautiful, valiant, thriving. But now... they are falling apart. If they cannot learn to coexist, to function as one – they are sure to die. Of this, we are almost positive. But first, let's go back to the beginning – back to a time of peace.Initium was once a beautiful world, a planet parallel to Earth aside from one thing; on this new planet, the human existence was gone. The god and goddess, Fenris and Tor, had seen the way they destroyed Earth, and after millions of years, the dying planet had finally quit. But they loved many of their earthly creatures, and were sad to see them go – so for this, they created Initium. Among every species they placed on this planet, one in particular stood out as the most dominant and intellectual species; wolves. For this, they decided to gift their creatures with the power to control one of the five sacred elements; air, fire, earth, water, and spirit. Throughout the Elemental wolves, there were five leaders who had risen to create five separate packs; one for each element. At first this seemed like the best thing to do, but soon their decision was proving to be the wrong one. Although each pack thrived, there was constant tension and hatred between the packs as they constantly argued over which element was the best, most powerful. A time of peace and new beginnings had soon turned into a time of war.
But this was not the worst of things. All of the hatred and darkness between the packs had attracted a certain god's attention – not Fenris or Tor, but the god of the underworld, the god of death and destruction; Umbra. A solitary creature, he had turned into an awful, dark, and power-hungry deity, considered to be the devil himself. He was jealous of Fenris and Tor, of their love and their beautiful creatures, and he wanted power of his own. For this he decided to create an "element" of his own; now called Chaos wolves, Umbra's creatures were harsh and terrible creatures of the night. Although they appeared to look like any other wolf, they had red eyes and a certain thirst for causing trouble. They stirred up chaos within the packs and often got into fights with the Elementals. But worst of all, they murdered all five of the packs' leaders, leaving the Elementals to anarchy.
Now years have gone by, and it seems as though the worst of times has passed – but the wise know that this is wrong. Finally, the Elementals must learn to come together and pick up the pieces of their broken lands and start over again. While some wolves agree that they need to work together, to coexist, others argue that they should follow the ways of their original leaders.
In a time of chaos and anarchy, it would be best to work together – but old habits die hard.
