Drake lowered his ears in agony. "Please Amy...please, I beg you!"
His wife felt weaker and weaker with every passing hour. The sun of a new day shone through the window above them and filled the room
with a dim light. Outside in the city, the people of Mideva were taking care of the wounded and finished fending off the last of the attackers.
This was the final victory and the start of a new era, but not for their greatest hero.
"I...made my decision my love..." the white wolfess whispered.
In her arms, she carried a newly born pup."You said it yourself...the antidote is only enough for one of us..."
Drake shouted curses and hit the wall with his heavy metal gauntlet. The air still smelled of betrayal.
He closed his one unharmed eye and felt tears soaking his cheekfur.
"Please...I can't live without you..." he wept.
"Drake...did you even look at him?"
He was silent.
"He's your son...do you still not ...believe me?"

Drake was one of the Chosen. People, whose souls did not return to the afterlife and instead returned to the world to be reborn again. Those people always
grew up with some memories of their past lifes, especially skills they acquired before. They were often trained to be exceptional soldiers, spies and leaders.

But this rebirth came with a cost: They could, under no circumstances, have children.

He refused. What his wife tried to tell him during the last months was against all that his teachers tought him.
"Look at him, Drake..."

He froze. He couldn't bare looking at the child he so much disbelieved was his own.
In that moment, it started crying. Turning around, he gazed at his wife. She was poisoned by one of his former comrades and friends before she gave birth to the child.
And the poison spread quickly...

"I could never continue to live after loosing him...my little Ryu..."

Drake peaked his ears. She gave him the name of his foster-father, a human guard captain who found him as a homeless child on the streets, gave him a home and
encouraged him to be the hero he became.

Slowly, he stepped to her bed. "Give him to me..."
She tried to show him a smile, though he could clearly see the exhaustion in her face.

As he lifted up the little pup, he gasped in shock.

The little wolf was the exact image of his father. Even with his young age, the markings in his brown fur gave no doubt. The only exception were the eyes:
While once both of Drake's eyes had a bright yellow before the left was damaged, the pup's eyes were his mother's. A deep green.

Drake's world collapsed and at the same time, he knew that a new sun was rising. He understood why his wife chose to give her life and though he was
heartbroken, he agreed to her decision."Moon Light Shadow" is the name of the Fantasy Novel I've been slowly developing for the past 15 years.
The Main Character's Name is Ryu Dar'Kar. After discovering the Furry Fandom almost 9 years ago, this character developed more and more traits of myself and finally became my "Fursona", beeing personality-whise the same person as me (Ryudar).

He's the son of Drake Dar'Kar, a legendary Wolf-Warrior and Amelia (Amy) Dar'Kar, his wife and priestess of the 7 gods.

I'll slowly start to post more and more of this story on my FA Channel and I wanted to start with the Dar'Kar family which I made Avatars of in Second-Life.

Basic Wolf-Avatar is made by KZK.
The Armor is made by the creator of the Dark Prophet Shop
Texture Mods etc. by me
