Zorro the Wolf Pack


Zorro the Wolf Pack
The Eldar forest was a place where the sun poked through the dense treetops and the shadowy paths hid endless secrets. The main character in this story is Zorro, a young wolf whose coat had unusual silvery highlights. Zorro belonged to a small but brave pack in which everyone had their place: there was the clever Lira, the greatest prankster Haro and the cautious but observant Yuki.

As the sun began to set, the wolves reached an old, abandoned burrow. Inside it was cold and damp, and remnants of cobwebs hung from the walls. A ring of sticks with engraved runes lay in the middle. Yuki walked closer, examining the marks - they didn't resemble any she had seen before. "This looks like a warning," she whispered, feeling growing anxiety. Suddenly, there was a quiet, dragging murmur that did not resemble any animal known to Zorrow. Everyone froze, listening to the sounds of the surrounding darkness.
