It was a sunny day in Australia, the birds were chirping, the lush forest was gleaming with sunlight. Everything was quiet except for…
“Come on, pass it over here!” yelled a young male wolf with reddish-orange fur and bright red eyes. He was about the age of 5 and his name was Austin. He was part of the McRoss Clan. He was playing catch with his older brother, Calisteo, a 13 year-old male wolf with deep black fur and deep black eyes. He was also part of the McRoss Clan. SO was the rest of the family.
“Hold on, would ya?” Calisteo said with a round stone in his mouth. In a few seconds, Calisteo aimed and threw the round stone at Austin. Austin didn’t catch it and the stone hit a pile of fresh fish right outside the cave entrance. The pile rolled out the entrance and down the hill the cave was on. “You think we should get that?” Austin asked his brother. “I don’t know yet, let me think.” Calisteo replied. They waited for a minute or two then they heard their sister yell something at them.
“Austin! Calisteo! Mom’s gonna be so mad when she finds out!” Their sister yelled. Her name is Silver. She has silver fur and green eyes and she was the same age as Austin. The two boys yelped and ran after the rolling fish pile. “We should hurry and get the fish before Silver tells Mom!” Austin suggested. “Yeah, we’re going downhill anyway. That’ll make us run faster!” Calisteo replied. In no time at all, they reached the bottom of the hill. “There it is! There’s the fish pile!” Calisteo shouted. When they approached the fish, Austin saw a faint red light just behind a big boulder. He started to walk towards it. He was a very mischievous wolf so he does naughty stuff.
“Uh, Austin? AUSTIN!!!” His brother shouted at the top of his lungs. Austin, as always, had ignored him. When Austin touched the light with his paw, a bright whit light shot out from it. “What, what’s happening? AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!” The white light had hit Austin and Knocked him out. Calisteo ran away, scared about what he had just seen. “I tried to warn him but he just wouldn’t listen!”
Calisteo thought as he continued running.
In a few minutes, Austin had woken up. “Ugh, what happened here?” Austin struggled to get back up on his paws when he started to sneeze. “Ah-ah-ah-choo!” He was blasted back by his own sneeze and he saw that he blew out a small flame when he sneezed! “Wha-what was that?” He started to get scared and he stepped back and tripped on something small and scaly. “Whoa! A dragon’s tail? I’ve only seen these in cave paintings!” Austin was starting to get interested by the look on his face.
Later, Austin got and idea. He started to climb up a tall tree that looked like a skyscraper to his size. His claws also grew sharper and longer during his transformation. He continued climbing until he reached the top. “Well, here goes nothing!” Austin stepped back, then jumped forward. He started to fall at first then he spread his wings as he as he could then he was gliding for a minute or two. “Wait a minute,” He said. “I don’t think I thought this through, I’m a wolf, not a bird! Wait, AHHHHHHHH!!!!” He started to fall and he landed in a tree.
"Whoa. Well that was unexpected!" Roko said as he got up on his paws. He looked around and finally found his den and walked towards it. During his walk, he transformed back to normal. But he had a weird symbol on his chest. This could mean trouble for him.
When Austin arrived, he saw his mom, Tallaei, and his dad, Thalso, looking at him with an angry look on their faces. "What's this about?" Austin asked. "What's this about? It's about you being late for dinner, not listening to your brother when he's talking, and losing the fresh fish!" His dad replied. "Bu-but i didn't do it! Calisteo did!" Austin protested. Calisteo suddenly scratched Austin's left eye, making a scar right over it. "Calisteo! Careful about your actions!" Tallaei said.
Austin is neither the Alpha, nor the Omega of the pack. He was more like a gnaw wolf of the clan. Gnaw wolves are lower the Omega rank. Gnaw wolves get less attention and get picked on the most. Even a gnaw wolf's parents would ignore them!
"Austin! What's that in your chest?" His mom said sternly, pointing at the symbol on his chest. "I-I don't know! It was there the whole time!" Austin lied. He didn't know how that had got there. Neither did his parents know. "Yeah. right! Son, i can't belive i'm saying this but, your banished from this den!" Thalso said as stern as Tallaei. "What! That can't be!" Austin started to get really angry. His symbol started to flash wildly! Soon, he turned into his dragon form.
"Ahhhh! Austin what are you? More importantly, who are you! We don't even know you now!" Calisteo screamed. Austin took a good look at himself in a nearby puddle. He noticed that he transformed into his dragon form and his dragon side took over his body! He had no control of himself! Austin was proud. He was proud for being able to over power his family. But he was nit himself anymore. He is now a beast! A beast of fire. He was blazing with fire all over his body. Although, he can control his mind. The body was being controled by something. But what? How was he able to control his body before?
"Austin! Stop! Please!" Silver called. But it was to late.
"GRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Austin roared so loud, the the rest of the clan could hear him! Austin then blew fire straight at his family! "Austin! Stop this at once!" Austin turned to see Donnel McRoss, the clan leader, also known as the Alpha wolf.
Austin eyes just turned fiery red. His dragon side was taking complete control! He started to blast a fireball straight and Donnel! "Scoala-gardian mea mareata!" Donnel chanted. A ghostly figure of a wolf appeared and stopped the fireball in its tracks!
"Grrrrrrrarrr..." Austin's dragon side roared quietly. "I know pronounce you banished from this clan and you may NEVER, come back as a gnaw. Now of with you!" Donnel shot a light at Austin and a black wrist ring on his left paw dissapeared. Austin's dragon side charged at Donnel with full speed! Donnel quickly jumped up then landed right after Austin accidently charged out the cave entrance.
"Donnel, do you think your being harsh with the kid?" Austin's best friend, Retro, said as he came up behind him. Retro was a snowy white 5 year-old pup. He had been friends with Roko ever since the gnaw wolf ceremony. "No, he deserves to be banished!" "What!? He doesn't deserve this! No gnaw wolf deservers this! How come his parents were able to stay!? The rules state that the cursed pup's parents should leave this clan!" Retro bit Donnel with all his strength and slid down the hill to chase after Austin. "I ain't never comin' back 'till I get Austin!"
"Seems like you've been a little to rough, Donnel." The ghost wolf that stopped Austin's fireball said. "No worries, this is just the beginning." Donnel grinned from ear to ear. He took of to his stone throne just beyond Austin's den.
He stopped midway. "Derigon," Donnel called for the clan's head warrior. Derigon spoke, "Yes my master," Derigon was a tough wolf. You could tell from the scars scattered across his body. "Hunt down Retro and Austin, I want them to be brought to Zeruko." "As you wish." Derigon was of when Donnel turned. He continued to walk back to his throne.
" I have to keep running!" Austin said. He knew that Donnel would jump so he took it to his advantage to get away. Austin stopped for air.
"Austin! Where are you bud! Say something!" Austin heard the shouts. He immediately recognized the voice. "Retro?" he thought. "He could also be hunting me down, I can't stop now. Not until everything makes sense!" his thoughts were wrong. He was trying to help him. But he ran anyway.
When Austin got to the edge of the forest, he saw a gleam. He approached it with caution. It was a bright red ruby with a flame caught in it. "What is this? It could be useful." He took the ruby in his mouth and continued his journey.
Somewhere on a high peak, there stood Derigon watching Retro and Austin. "Hm, Austin found the Ruby of Zeruko. It's said that whoever touched the ruby, gains the power of Zeruko. Part of his soul is encased in that ruby. Guess he's more than I expected." He walked away with a smirk on his face. "He's going to meet his fate soon as long as he still has that ruby." He turned back as he walked and could see the glow of the ruby.
"It's so dark in here, I'm glad that the fire in this ruby makes enough light for me." Austin walked
