German Loner

Rain remember a time when he was warm and technology was at its finest. He missed his home but more then anything he missed the technology Berlin had to offer. Used to harsh weather his fur was thicker then the wolves he had seen around this place called Nova Scotia, so he had some protection against the snow that had started to fall. The weather seemed to be taking a turn for the worse and wishing he had his parka and boots Rain mumbled to himself. If he was getting cold then Amelia must be freezing already. He stopped as he noticed Amelia wasn't beside him anymore but trailing behind. At about 1 month she didn't understand why they had left Berlin and why her mommy wasn't there to hold her or keep her warm. Her little grey and white body shivered against the frigid wind, her fur not nearly as thick as Rains because her mother had kept her indoors most of the time. He stopped as their father continued ahead just as the snow started falling harder. Rain picked up Amelia, who snuggled against him for warmth. In optime form Rain could easily hold little Amelia against him for warmth, her little lupus body small and somewhat light. She buried her muzzle in his neck, her little paws in his shoulder the way her mom used to hold her. She was tired, her little paws blistered from the cold,hard packed ground. "Bruder, ich bin kalt," (brother I am cold) she whispered against him as they were blasted with cold wind again. She shivered and tried to snuggle closer to him as he walked where he had last seen his father.

Amelia only spoke German, her father hadn't given her time to learn English like Rain, who preferred English over German. Only to Amelia did Rain speak German. Her mother had been trying to teach her over the 3 month trip they had taken in a ship to get to this god forsaken place. Something had been spreading on the ship and it was only in the last few weeks of the trip did their mother fall ill and die. The memory of burying her because his father couldn't would haunt him for many nights to come. "Ich weiß, du bist kalt. Vater versucht, Unterschlupf zu finden jetzt für uns heute Nacht schlafen" (I know you're cold. Father is trying to find shelter now for us to sleep tonight.) he said as the snow fell harder.

His father had taken this trip because technology was getting out of control and he wanted to revert back to the old ways. He had heard of this place call 'Souls and was hell bent on showing Rain that you didn't always have to rely on a heater and electric to function in the world. He had sold their belongings, their house, their land, their horses and livestock for a trip to the middle of nowhere. At two years himself, Rain had tried to sway his father into staying. Amelia was too young for a trip and his mother to frail. But he insisted and after making sure they had nothing but enough money to buy their way onto the ship and make port. No clothes, and nothing but their means of trade, Rain, Amelia and their father embarked on a journey that would soon be the death of Rains younger sister and the separation of Rain from his father.

The snow had fallen fast and soon Rain had lost sight of his fathers tracks as a blizzard consumed him and Amelia. Little did Rain know that they would never find their father and that the could would soon start to freeze little Amelia. He didn't know that by the end of the blizzard he would be alone, his sister dead because of the cold. He would stumble into 'Souls with nothing more then a long bow, two arrows and his wood carving kit. He still searches for his father today and wont give up his search till he finds him.
