❄ Temperatures Collide ☀
A long time ago in a land far, far away....

Two packs lived in harmony, the Aisu and the Natsu.

The Aisu lived in endless cold, snow, ice and the Natsu in neverending summer.  The two, so different and separate, kept each other in balance. They were very secretive, keeping to themselves to protect themselves and their land. Wolves came and went but the sister packs stayed hidden, only revealing themselves to the few they knew would fit in within their ranks. Nevertheless, stories of a pack with special powers spread like wildfire. And no one, not even the Aisu and Natsu, were sure where or when exactly they recieved their power.

For many, many, many generations the two packs thrived. Pups were born, older members died and special strangers were recruited to join. There were always many wolves who traveled far and wide trying to find these packs. Very few who were looking for them ever found them. At some point, fewer and fewer wolves came back with stories of the two packs until no one was ever able to find them again. No one knew what happened to them but they were never seen again. Eventually they stopped looking, the stories changed or were forgotten and very little was remembered about them.

And so the territory remained uninhabited for a while....

Appleslice's travels brought her to this ancient land. It was lush and beautiful, but completely deserted. No creature was to be found here, not even a mouse. The silence made her uncomfortable, never had she been anywhere where even the birds didn't sing. She had been traveling for a while before she came upon a dark lake covered by a layer of fog. She felt uneasy there, like she wasn't alone. She was about to move on when a cold breeze blew through the clearing. Suddenly feeling paranoid, she spun around and faced the lake. The fog above the water had begun to swirl and a part of the fog arose and settled on the shore. It shivered and swirled and formed itself into silver, misty wolf.

The misty wolf took a step forward and shook out it's fur. Bright, glowing white eyes met Appleslice's green ones as the shimmering wolf addressed her, "My name is Kaien. I am the last Queen of the Aisu pack." Appleslice stared silently. She didn't know what to say, she wasn't even sure what she was seeing was real. The spirit continued, "I have been watching you travel through this land. You may be the one."

The spirit wolf nodded, stood tall and let out a long, eerie howl. From every direction clouds of mist raced from the lake and swirled around the startled young wolf. The temperature of the air plumeted and the ground beneath her feet froze over with a layer of ice. All at once the swirling mist rose high into the air in a large cloud before funneling down into the body of Appleslice. She gasped and her breath froze in the air; her eyes widened and briefly turned an icy blue. A moment later the mist left her and scattered back into the trees; her eyes returned to their normal color, the air warmed and the ice receded.

"You have been bestowed with the Power of Queens, the gift of our ancestors to the leaders of these lands," the spirit wolf declared in a strong voice. Appleslice gasped and stumbled, trying to keep her feet underneath herself. She didn't understand what had just happened, she felt dizzy and weak. She let out a low growl as she tried to protect herself from any further attack, she turned quickly to face the spirit. However the sudden movement drained the last of her strength and she collapsed. The last thing she heard before passing out were the final whispered words from the misty wolf, "You will stay and bring the ancient power back to this land. Rebuild our kingdom."
