From the Ashes of Tragedy, a World Awaits
The world of Bitterroot is a tapestry woven with threads of both beauty and brutality. We, the animals, walk this land on two legs, our voices echoing through ancient forests and across windswept hills. In this untamed era, we've formed tribes, each carving out their existence amidst the wild. There are no grand alliances, no sprawling cities. Only the struggle for survival and the ever-present shadow of our own darker nature.
The same primal instincts that drive us to hunt, to protect, to endure, can twist into something monstrous. Greed, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of power tear at the delicate balance of our world. I bear the scars of this darkness, etched into my flesh and seared into my memory. The cruelty I endured within Bitterroot Orphanage, a place that should have been a sanctuary, haunts my every step.
Yet, even amidst the bleakest moments, I found a beacon of light. Maya, a young wolf pup with a spirit as bright as her pale fur, became my reason to fight, to hope, to *live*. We faced the horrors of the orphanage together, clinging to each other as the world crumbled around us. Our escape into the unforgiving wilderness was a desperate gamble, but it was also our first taste of true freedom.
For a few precious years, we carved out a life in the Whispering Woods, finding solace in the hidden Haven Cave and learning to survive on our own terms. Maya's laughter echoed through the trees, a melody that chased away the shadows of my past. She was my family, my love, my everything.
But fate is a cruel mistress. Maya fell ill, and I watched helplessly as the light faded from her eyes. The world I had fought so hard to build with her crumbled to dust. I retreated into the solitude of the Howling Hills, a lone wolf haunted by loss and consumed by grief.
Now, years later, I stand at a crossroads. The memory of Maya's love and the echoes of her laughter still linger, reminding me that even in the darkest of times, there is beauty to be found, stories worth telling. The world of Bitterroot is brimming with such stories, waiting to be unearthed and shared.
