I slowly lower my claw. After ten days the message I engraved into the wall of my cave is finished. I can imagine what's to come, a silver wolf finding this message, finding others like her, a pack of dark wolves willing to follow me to the end of the earth. I say goodbye to the last of my pups, now fully grown adults, and step out into the moonlight. As I look back at my den one last time a tear trickles down my muzzle, making a silver line apear on my black fur. In the light of the blue moon I stepped foot on

this earth and in the light of the blue moon I will leave it.
