Twenty Years ago…

The Moon Temple was quiet, save for the soft hum of the morning wind brushing through the windows.

I was kneeling beside High Priestess Liora – Mother like we fondly called her, my hands clasped in front of me in prayer, my heart beating in sync with the chants but there was no life in my words. I was scared.

Scared that the secret I'd been trying to keep these past few days would finally come to light. The only person I had managed to tell was my best friend Terra – she was a moon worshipper just like me.

The Moon Temple had been home to me before I said my first words. I was born a Sigma Wolf – a rare breed of Wolves dedicated to the service of the Moon Goddess. We are often called messengers of the Goddess herself and as such, must keep ourselves pure.
