Echoes of Fenra - Old Work and Teasers
This is going to be ongoing teasers and posts about old lore/written sections of a book I started a long time ago and got burnt out on. This does not necessarily reflect the final product should I ever return to writing it, but rather will serve as a place for me to share some of my work that was made purely for entertainment when I was first learning how to write longer form stories.
The story revolves around a wolf named Kaelen and his tribe, the Bloodhowls, known among themselves as Echoes of Fenra, for they descended from the Great Wolf Mother, Fenra, herself. They are a people that often find themselves at war because of their rituals. When the full moon rises and Fenra’s eye opens to watch over the lands, her children must shed blood to appease her and receive her blessings. Kaelen, as the young Fangfather of the tribe, must lead every such hunt, for it is his duty to guide his people and follow Fenra’s commands as they are passed to him by the shamans. However, in the midst of the Bloodhowls’ brutal lifestyles, Kaelen believes the tribe is beginning to stray from Fenra. If his people wish to survive, they’ll have to reconnect to the Her, but only a handful are able to speak to her and interpret her, and they don’t always see eye to eye. Kaelen’s most trusted guide, a young shaman named Saelira, predicts that he has less than a year before Fenra’s eye closes forever, but how can a leader make the time to go on a journey to search his soul when his people are hungry, hunts have to be led, and other tribes are a constant threat.
