Sample Post:
Blink. Laying a paw on what felt like soft, wet dirt Rey struggled to get up. When he couldn't, he lay there silent, breathing. The rhythm slowly matched the waves of the water, and feeling calmer, Rey struggled once more. Jerking his body up he shook with all his might, water spraying in all directions. Slowly, one step forward. Then another. 'Where am I?' Confused, he looked around in all directions. Along the shore there were broken branches, fruits, and smaller animals.

Then, in his mind, replayed a scene which was unclear. Leopards, running for cover, great waters filling in the dens. Gasping, no air. Crys of others, ringing everywhere. Trying to breath, water everywhere. Swimming, swimming, swimming until there was a log to cling onto. That was all he remembered. Great waters had hit the caves, and Rey was sure he was the only survivor.

His instincts said, need to eat. Eat, drink. But the brain said grieve for others. He had went and saved his own life, not risking to save others. He felt anger, fear, confusion. But in the end the instincts won. He found a small rabbit of pure white, on the shore. He ate it hungrily. When he was done, he licked his lips, and slowly set out. His paws light on the sand as it was on the snow, barely making prints. He let out a roar, though it was slightly hoarse. Could anything have survived that awful water? Could anybody hear his voice? He then set out and look for survivors of his family. He was, after all, responsible for them.

History:
By the time Rey was born, the whole island thing had been established and there were no problems. But Rey's whole life was a mistake. He wasn't supposed to born, not to his own father, anyway. His mother had mated with another, oustide of the family. So instantly, she was outcast. Shani was her name. She set out with Rey, her only son, to find another clan. Perhaps the one of Rey's father, or perhaps just a clan that was friendly and would let them in. She had been too naiive, as obviously no clan would do that. So they spent their whole lives as outcasts. Rey, at two, was by then, the leader of the group of outcasts they had collected in their travels. Being an outcast he had grown up in a rough life, but once their small pack was established, life became easier.

They never settled at one place, but continually moved, from place to place, according to weather and hunting. Rey was happy, his mother happy, they were all happy. But then that tsunami hit. Just when the pack of outcasts seemed finally happy, another disaster. It seemed that bad luck was on their side, and perhaps the anger of the sea gods. Now Rey has no choice must cooperate with nature and once more establish what used to be.
Part of Pack: STEALTHIUM.
