The wind whipped through the air sending the snow flying to sting the eyes of the unsheltered like a wasp. Even though she couldn't see a thing, the albino femora kept trotting along.
She was large for a female of her species, with a coat that made the snow look as black as oil and crystalline blue eyes that seemed to catch hold of your gaze and threatened to never let it go. Her name was Aurora...
Aurora braced herself against the howling wind, she growled at her unbeatable foe.
"I won't give up!" she said with a hint of sadness, knowing that if she didn't take shelter soon she would be buried in the blizzard.
Her paws were cut and bleeding and her body was so cold it burned, she hated blizzards...
She shook the thought from her head,
"That was long ago." she whimpered, not even fully believing herself
"Now I'm getting silly." she sighed and looked for somewhere to shelter, her limbs were trembling and ice shrouded her coat.
Seeing a hollow log she lay herself down, not even able to shake the ice from her coat.
Aurora woke, panting heavily.
"I've got get to this land..." she panted
"Start again... mate... family... hope"
"I've got to find a life... I have been on my own far too long"
The blizzard was gone and the path was now clear to her. She knew there was a pack of light wolves here, she decided that this could be her home and she could have a family again!
She ran, as fast as she could, skirting the dark lands, she was not one of them.
As she reached the border of the light's lands she sent up a howl to the northern lights that reflected onto her coat, giving her a mystical appearance.
She looked up a the aurora, her only friend, the only familiar thing in this land...
She stepped back in shock... was that a face in the 'lights?
It was! But who?...
"Mother!" she cried, the face nodded serenely and then it was gone
Aurora then noticed the oncoming pack and stood tall. She would make Aniu. her mother, proud.

A strange night, a strange light and a wind that had carried her far from her family...
She shook the thought from her head,
"That was long ago." she whimpered, not even fully believing herself
Not long enough...
"Now I'm getting silly." she sighed and looked for somewhere to shelter, her limbs were trembling and ice shrouded her coat.
Seeing a hollow log she lay herself down, not even able to shake the ice from her coat.
Aurora ran with her pack, faster then the adolescents her own age, she ran with a joy of life gleaming in her pale eyes...
She fought a Grey femora to defend herself against the insults about her colouring, winning easily, the love of fighting was kindled in her that night...
Hunting caribou in the forest, straining so hard the small scars on her forelegs, the legacy of her many fights, pulled open and bled anew, but the sheer delight of bringing down her first kill overshadowed the pain...
The storm was on them, a great wind snatched up her family, leaving her behind, the howls of herself, broken hearted rolled across the sky with the lightning...
Aurora woke, panting heavily.
