1 Prologue .

The irking silence spread across the district . All the breathing creatures knew not to break that silence for it was a special night . A night that only a few that knew the significance of it and cherished the moment with their dear hearts. Near the shore of Lake Ares ,life and death were shaking hands to become one but the laws of the universe could not allow . Only one had to thrive for the other to take course.

The screams of pain and agony from the young wolf could be heard from miles but no body heard her for she was miles away from the near by pack . Even the hunters who would roam the forest were no where to be found .The lone wolves steered away from that area. The glowing moon was the only thing that gave the young wolf the strength to push , for she knew it was the sign of the moon goddess in all her glory .With every wave of pain ,she gave it her all only to save the one that was within her .

The wails of a her baby brought her joy . She knew that her baby was meant for greatness even in the patronizing society they have . The sad truth she also knew that she could not see it till the end ,her time was up. She removed the necklace that has been with her family for centuries and passed down to generations as a sign of the unity and recognition. Her fingers fibbed with the small pendant remembering every thing that it brought her to - the good and the bad . She took the necklace and placed it around the babies neck and locked it . The letters she has written days ago ,she took them and rapped it around the baby .She then took the the water proof basket and placed the white wool she found early during the day .

She took her baby and kissed the crown of it's head . With that the baby opened it's eyes for the first time . The ocean blue eyes that has been a heritage from the young wolf's family had passed on to the baby . It remind the mother of the calmness before the storm that comes with a strong tide - that can wash away a whole city .The baby had blond hair that she had inherited from her father .She placed the baby inside the basket and prayed to the moon goddess to protect her child.

Inspite of everything ,the young wolf took a leap of faith and placed the basket on the lake . The calm breeze allowed the basket to move away from the shore of the lake . The mother had given her child freedom . All the responsibility and role the child had to play was removed in that moment . She knew that one day it would all come back to her for it was her birth right but now was not the time .

" Goodbye my little Amber " the young wolf said with a hoarse voice due to the constant screaming she had been doing earlier.

She laid there memorizing the image of her child . Wishing she would have stayed with her a little longer . From a distances she could hear the packs guards coming towards her but she knew by the time they got there it would be useless to save her . However the young wolf knew the kingdom would fight to keep her alive . No one would let a royal die .
