In the beginning, we were all that was

The darkness of the night lonely and quiet

How we longed to hear songs of praise

So, we gave a gift to our children

The ability to change into the beautiful hunters of the night

For centuries, we heard their songs of reverence

Reveled in their worship

But it was not to last

The dark one's jealousy burned with a fiery hate

His shadow descended upon our sons and daughters

The greed and jealousy of man drew him to them

His fangs piercing the veins of a mortal

Promising eternal beauty

Freedom from death

If man would do but one thing for him

Shed the blood of our children

Songs became screams of agony

Mothers begging for the lives of the pups

Fathers, husbands cursing the skies for the loss of their families

Their blood staining the earth

It broke our hearts to see them fall

The night father begged the light for her aid

She reached out her hand, cursing the dark ones to fear the sun

Shadow melted to light with the arrival of the Paladins

Their origins unknown

But we were grateful

An uneasy peace began to reign

The dark one's bloodlust had been halted

It was not to last

The darkness was set free

Above the ashes of the bloodshed rose a daughter

Cursed by darkness

She was, yet was not our child

Wolf, yet not wolf

Yet, in her suffering

She sang our song of praise

So, my blessing, I gave to her
