My name is sings-a-sad-tale , but my name is not the reason of the story today my story is of my right of passage.
Me and my newly formed pack were on a mission of glory? No. Of wisdom? No. we were on our right of passage, it was an experience I won1t soon forget. We were sent to find the Dream Raven and to learn from it how to make a sand wheel. After much of a hassle and quite a few tricks we found the Raven and he gave us a task. He said 3There is a creature in the forest not far away that makes little sense, it seems to be insane but I can1t tell for sure. I wish for you to find this fur ball and inquire what he is.2 With that we left and headed for our task, what appeared to be some sort of Lupus maybe even a Nuwisha. Well after much searching we found him in a cabin, but unfortunately we found a pack of Black Spiral Dancers. We fought them for an hour and took many blows, I even took an incapacitating blow , fortunately for me the devil broke off to attack our Alpha Ian. I got back as soon as I could to see Ian slay one of the devils with his Klaive. Realizing we were out ranked and outgunned we retreated out of the cabin to the forest, unfortunately the two remaining Black Spiral Dancers followed. We took refuge in the forest, I was a fool not to recognize the quietness of the forest and I volunteered to stand watch through the night so the others could sleep. We were sheltered long enough for us all to heal however though our ordeal wasn1t over yet.
Suddenly out of the darkness sprang a Black Spiral Dancer hitting me in the side, as his partner waited in the darkness. By the time my pack mates had risen I had slewn the Alpha who had attacked me but just as I thought it was over the final one sprang out. I dodged his blow and backed up realizing I was in deep trouble, but still the Black Spiral persued me, just as he sprang for me my Alpha Ian sprang forward with his Klaive and in one massive blow decapitating the Black Spiral crinos. Yes we did return to the Raven and completed our Rite of Passage , and there was much glory we had won. But thru it all the importance of a pack shone thru to me because without my pack I would not have survived that night. I also learned that all Garou including Metis are true warriors, because as you remember Ian our Alpha, guess what he was a Metis.
