Rocky Beginnings: Part 1 (The Snow Adventure)

By Danny C. Estes

Prolog My name is Byrghir Snow. I'm an arctic wolf of a large glacier on the semi-cold continent of Burrland. A body of land near the top of the world. Though most of this land mass has livable temperatures most of the year. My home has not. It's a harsh environment on the ice, where only the strong and intelligent can eke out an existence.Born the eldest son to Elov Snow, a strong chieftain of one Ice Wolf Pack called, Clan Snow. I was destine to replace my father once he stepped down. However, as the years of my youth passed, I found my disposition balking concerning certain clan activities. Specifically, the consumption of intelligent life, which in the nearby cities was called, cannibalism.Due to this unfavorable trait among the wolves, I was bullied and beaten whenever possible by other wolves, even by my younger twin sisters, Lovisa and Sassa Snow.Upon my fourteenth birthday, desperate to prove myself a true arctic wolf, and regain my parents love and the respect of the clan, I volunteered for the twenty-day run. A trial in the dead of winter out on the glacier all young cubs must subject themselves to upon their sixteenth birthday. A pack tradition meant solely to weed out the weak of the clan to guarantee the Pack's survival.Accomplishing the run, I thought my life in the Pack would become better. Yet I would be taught otherwise. My weakness in non-conformity in all Pack matters lead to even harsher treatment by the clan members. Thus disillusioned, at the age of fifteen and under the cover of darkness, I left the Pack life behind me to seek out a living in the nearby city of Furlton, a major metropolis at the south tip of the continent we call, Burrland.
