The Elkaran are an anciant race. Little is known of their past to the Original wolves, but to the Elkaran it is a closely guarded secret. A secret I am willing to share with you, at least in part. But first you must understand the nature of this secret, for it is a secret like no other. No, this is a secret of the Earth and Skies and everything around us. This is a secret of our very beings.
The story starts at the creation of the first packs. At first there were many packs, but one stood far out from the rest. Shy and reclusive for the most part, the Elkaran dabbled in the myth and legend of the wolves, prying out many secrets from sources the others couldn’t comprehend. For many generations this continued, the packs evolved into a hierarchy, the Elkaran receding further and further into the shadows, they and their myths and legends all but forgotten.
After many generations, something seemed to happen among the Elkaran. They made a breakthrough. Six of the remaining seven Elkaran discovered what seemed to be the secret of controlling the elements them selves. But these were not quite the elements you may be thin king of, for among the wolves they were different. Earth, Air, Water, Plants, Animals and Death, each Elkara controlling one. All but Animals had been discovered. The last Elkara, distraught at being the only failure, left.
The remaining six re-entered the life of the Original wolves, casting wonder and a new belief among them. They were now considered as Gods. They formed their own packs, gathered a few disciples, and taught them the secrets they had discovered, confided in the few their power.
Then, a few years later, word reached the Elkaran of another wolf, a strange one, with the power to control the minds of animals, and he was collecting forces. The lost Elkara had returned, with a vengeance.
The Elkaran and their disciples met this old foe with his army of Original wolves, and a huge battle ensued. But for all their strength, the Elkaran were only just able to overcome this one rogue Elkara, but it took all their strength. The Rebel Army pack went into seclusion. The Elkaran met, and decided on a course of action. They had not enough strength to remain in the Real world, so they would bestow upon one of them enough power for them to remain, while the rest receded into the spirit world that lies between life and death, while the Death Elkara would guard over the Rogue, who they had imprisoned in between Spirit and Death.
But that was all many ages ago now. There are now more disciples, now named the Elkaran after our pack, than there are Original wolves. And He is rising again. And I am afraid. Especially now that the Original wolves are uprising against our controll. After so long of being left in Life, apart from my pack, I fear that I do not have the strength to face my brother again alone.
I beg of you, please help us
