Background :^: Zionia was born in a distant land known for its harsh frigid winters and cool summers. She was raised in the
Clan of Merriweather under her mother and grandmother, whom were the pack healers. They trained her as a pup to find the plants and herbs that would help heal most any injury or ailment that commonly occurred among the pack and as she came of age, she was given the position of
Shaman of the pack for her knowledge and abilities in helping the wolves. Her father had been the Beta of the clan until he mysteriously disappeared on a scouting expedition. As time grew on, she was mated to a wonderful wolf and had a small litter of three pups. However, times had grown dark for the
Merriweather pack as creatures known as
Two-Legs invaded their territory with sticks that shot thunder and long silver teeth for hands that could swiftly tear the flesh straight from the bone. Zionia watched helplessly as her pack-mates were killed and taken away in crates. Shortly after giving birth to her three beautiful pups, the Two-Legs attacked again. This time, they came for the heart of the pack. They shot and killed many of the wolves, including the Alpha's mate and several of the strongest hunters among them. She tried to keep her pups safe, but the
Two-Legs found her den and grabbed for her pups. She viciously attacked at them, ripping and tearing at their soft hairless flesh and snapping ones neck in her maw. But there were too many of them. One bit her hard with its silver toothed hand and cut her leg down to the bone throwing her into a tree. She struck her head on the hard oak and her mind was separated from her body.
When she later awoke, she felt as though her soul had been ripped from her body. Her pups were nowhere to be found. Her mate wept for her, for she could find no tears of her own. She became a shallow husk of a wolf with little emotion, doing what needed to be done to help her pack, but she could not face her mate. He left her and became mates with the Alpha of the pack. The attacks seemed to stop after that day. With so few of them left, there was nothing to do but pick up the pieces and move on. As time went on, she slowly returned to her soft, kind-hearted self. She helped her injured pack-mates and continued to work hard to get the pack into order.
The jealous Alpha Female had been after Zionia's mate since they first became courts. After finally being able to have the brute she wanted, she set up a ploy to get rid of Zionia from the pack. Three pups had been found dead nearby and she placed false blame on Zionia for their deaths. Zionia had been shunned by the pack and the Alpha decided to chase her away before Zionia could find someway to prove her innocence. She attacked ruthlessly until Zionia finally ran away for fear of her life. She has been avoiding hunters and other wolves for the next 2 moons until she realized she could not go on alone any more with the coming winter. She is looking for a clan that will take her and accept her. Already 3 have turned her down, the first ending with another run for her life. The next turned her down as they were too many in number and their land could not support another mouth. The last attacked her before she had even known she was in their territory. She wandered with little hope of her future with a deep hole in her heart. She missed her mate, her pups, and caring for those in need.
Finally, a glimmer of hope appeared as she was welcomed into the SweetBreeze wolf-pack. They took her in as one of their own and she grew strong of heart and spirit once more. She was overjoyed the day when she was to be raised to a pack-member, but was in tears of joy that the Alpha, Shiake, had raised her to the pack Elder, and offered her a seat in the Council Circle. She took the position gladly and offered advice and help to all wolves who needed help. Unfortunately, the joy would not last long as Two-Legs had appeared once again. They startled the wolves and eventually caused the wolves to flee in fear. They scattered in every direction, and Zionia watched as her new family was taken apart piece by piece. She gave a cry to the heavens that would make the willows weep as her heart shattered into a thousand pieces. The family she hafd come to call her own was gone. She was alone again. Tears streamed from her eyes as the old wolf wandered aimlesly into the dead woods. Thunder rolled across the mountains in echoe to her cry as she parted these sacred grounds to once again search for a new home.
Shortly after leaving the Sacred lands, she found herself face to face with the Two-Legs that had made her family split. She growled in anger as she could see several crates with wolves she knew inside. Seeing them brought something out from her that she had never truly felt before, raw hatred. She attacked viciously, completely headless of the warnings and pleas from her mind. She charged in ahead trying to kill as many as she could. She felt something hit her in the back of the neck, a sharp prick like a hornet stinging into her. She turned and stumbled feeling suddenly sleepy. Her vision blurred and she felt the ground rush up to meet her. Next she knew she was in some type of box and felt it moving beneath her. She howled and clawed at the sides of the box. It shifted suddenly and plummeted. She felt the box slow and seem to float and twist. She started to panic as water seeped in clawing more, and only causing the box to tumble and roll in the chopping waters. She could feel the water slowly filling the box and she howled as loud as she could trying to find help. The box suddenly heaved and crashed against something solid. the water slowly leaked back out of the box. She lay inside, shaken and soaking, crying to the spirits for help to release her from the prison that lay on the shore of some unknown territory.
She gathered her strength and bashed out the wall of the crate. Seeing only a vast body of water to one side of her, and trees to the other, she heads for the safety of cover of trees, beginning her long journey once again to wander in hopes of finding a new pack...
