Entropy: The gradual and inevitable decline of the universe into a state of complete disorder.
Starspiral steps lightly through the underbrush, relying on the dappled shadows cast by the bright moon above to mask stars movement. A strange darkness twines its way through the trees, thicker than shadows and moving in the absence of wind. Stars pack is safe in their den, aside from the young pup Everstar, who bounds through the low lying branches above stars. Sometimes star thinks he is more squirrel than wolf. She smiles.
Following the darkness as it gets thicker, they come to a cairn of stones. The rock looks rotted, in a way Starspiral had thought only living things could decompose. A faint, flickering silver glow struggles against the darkness, but it is clearly losing the battle.
"Mika's teeth," Everstar breathes above stars, and all at once it hits. This is the monument to Mika - not her hidden shrine, but essentially, her grave. Starspiral's tail and ears lower and star feels a snarl forming on stars lips.
Not willing to risk attracting the attention of the shadows, she signals in Darksign to Everstar. Warn the pack. War on the horizon.
Everstar bounds carefully off, and Starspiral carefully retreats to a distance and considers their next move. Knowing stars history well, star thinks that there's every likelihood that they won't be able to fight this on their own. They need more information, though.
Star then carefully gathers stars strength and bounds up into the trees starself. Keeping watch through the long night, star sees the glow sputter, fade, and eventually, wink out. It is the darkest part of the night, when the moon has set but just before the first greys of day start to bite into the air, when star sees two pinpricks of a dirtlike, rusty grey blink into existence.
With horror, stars other senses detect the form holding up the two spots. A lithe body, all too familiar, holding eyes once the color of the moon and now tarnished like old metal. Revenant magic.
All at once, star feels a poisonous dread creep over stars. The tarnished eyes are staring right at stars. Unblinking, unmoving, they follow Starspiral as star bounds off. A deep discordant howl chases stars back to the den, feeling as if it is shaking the very roots of the mountains and seeping into the streams. It grows into a crescendo, and star listens in horror as one, two, - three more notes answer from far way.
They cannot fight this alone.
Notes!
- Open to two Icerun, two Murkwood, one Darkspine, and one Goldsea pack, plus a Goldsea friend who has already agreed to join.
- Preference is to keep this fairly site lore compliant, with the exception of RP canon that is later contradicted by new site lore. Not gonna be super strict about this however.
- Adding stuff to the RP that is neither in site canon nor contradicts it is welcome!
- Feel free to RP as many wolves at a time as you feel comfortable with, though obviously use your judgment.
- The only content guidelines are site rules, anything within those rules goes.
- Let's make sure to keep this a safe and fun space to roleplay! Be encouraging, don't correct spelling/grammar or offer constructive criticism unless asked (asking about a word or phrase if you don't understand something is fine), build off of what each person adds. It's okay to ask for a retcon on rare occasion if something completely interferes with your plans but please be polite about it.
- Please only write your own characters, in terms of player characters. Worldbuilding and NPCs are all shared.

Relevant backstory or link to lore
Name: Starspiral
Age: Adult
Gender: stargender
Pronouns: star/stars
Important relationships: stars mate Meadowlark, young pup Everstar, and the pack as a whole
Want (what desire is most important to pursue): to become strong enough to protect the pack on stars own
Need (what can they not do without, that may conflict with their want): to keep the pack safe but also let them fight by stars side
Flaw (what holds them back): fear of those star loves being hurt or abandoning stars
Quirk (what's a unique aspect of their personality): When not intensely focused on a task, Starspiral's mind often wanders far away. Star claims the actual stars sing to her, warning her of danger, providing stars with information that leads to good hunts, and comforting her when she feels lost. By all appearances, this is true.
Paragon (what's the image of their ideal self that drives them to be the best wolf they can be):Starspiral believes that only strength, cunning, fortitude, and wisdom in equal measure can make true strength. Star wants to become masters of all of them, to become an unstoppable fortress on which enemies break and yet a soft home for stars pack and allies.
