Description

Did some (hopefully final) redesigns of Aphria from my wolf book which I wrote when I was 16, Aphria being its protagonist.
Aphria (left) is a young wolf-dog hybrid (primarily gray wolf with a little bit of German shepherd, as is shown in her larger ears and mask marking) who has trouble fitting in with her pack due to her heritage. Unlike other wolves (as well as her father and brother, also wolfdogs), she has no fear towards humans and has a hard time respecting pack customs and ranks. Due to this, as well as the fact that she’s the most dog-like in appearance in her pack, her Leader Cadeyrn refuses to let her train to become a fully fledged pack member.
Aphria is very disgruntled at this, especially as winter is nearing and her going into winter unskilled might be a death warrant. One day, she meets up with an older wolf from the Moss Pack, Morfran, who decides to help her out and train her in secret.
The duo soon form a close friendship, and they also share a different connection (aside from being related): both have a special gift where they can receive visions and visit the world between the living and the dead in their dreams. Both, especially Aphria, keep receiving mysterious visions in this world, and soon they leave their respective packs behind to go on the quest set out for them.
A lot of things go down from there. More characters join their little group, Aphria grows and learns more and more about her visions, and finally in a climatic scene she and Morfran are separated. They both survive, however Morfran is left with his lower body paralyzed and thus cannot make the journey north over the mountains as is their group’s mission by that time. From then on Aphria has to take up the leadership role of the group and stand on her own four paws for the first time all the while traveling north to fulfill her role in it all.
I never wrote that much of book two (only fifty pages or so) but book two was going to focus more on Aphria’s struggles of being on her own now and of course the journey-prophecy thing as well as defeating the evil wolf king Hawk.
May do a reboot of this story sometime down the line because I still like some of these characters and elements of the story.
