Legend of Delv Ihoo
Long ago, two mysterious eggs were hurled out of space and fell down to earth. After they landed, two tiny dragons, named "Seiyru and Seiryu”, were born in a world where they could not protect themselves. All seemed to be lost, but a wolf pack, stumbled upon the baby dragons. One of the females had pups herself, and so her mother-like instincts took over, and she took care of these strange creatures. As soon as they grew large they taught themselves how to fly and learned to hunt from the wolves, as they would go hunting to provide the pack with meat. For many years they stayed with their wolf family, up until the point where almost all dragons left earth to go to a place referred to as the "Dragon Paradise". For reasons unknown, the Azure dragons had to go with their kin, but they felt guilty for leaving their family behind. The Dragons did not want to leave without thanking their wolf family, so they flew towards the place were they were found. They entered the pack’s cave, only to be turned to stone as their soul left for dragon paradise, but their bodies stayed intact, releasing a strong energy over the island. The energy forced the land to break and a huge piece of land to form an island.
Because of this, wolves would be isolated from natural threats, and would be able to live long and happy lives. The Azure dragons were thankful to the one wolf that decided to take them in, and spoke that, one day, they would lend their power to a white wolf. Only months later, the Azure dragons sent down their offspring, who fell down on the island. All the dragon eggs were plain white at first, but obtained elements through mysterious ways. It took generations for species to be formed and for wolves to adapt to new powers. The power came from the dragons, who had shattered the island, releasing energy that infected the wolves. Each generation slowly began to develop a species that represented their dragon. Sadly, their powers have been abused, and not all wolves took the right path. With the inheritance of great power, it didn't take long before the wolves became the dominant species on the island. Even so, many wolves respected the dragons, while others took control, leading to many sad events. It was only years later when the legend itself was born. There hadn't been white wolves for ages, but that all changed with the birth of Ruuza.
With Ruuza’s birth, the legend itself became truth. An elemental wolf named Luna got together with a wolf of the Dark Cities, who was the commander’s son, called Locin, and Luna and Locin were Ruuza's parents. Just as the Azure Dragons said a long time ago that they would bless their powers to one white wolf, it happened. The island had not known white wolves for centuries, as the original white wolf herself gained a white pelt which was rare in the area. There are still many mysteries to why one wolf could suddenly turn white, as many secrets are still hidden about the entire story.
Many wolves wonder why the Azure dragons blessed Ruuza, as her life did not start out well, because she was part of a community that was doomed to be slaughtered when she turned 3 years old. Many wolves considered it a mistake of the dragon’s, others were confused. The question came forth, "Why did the Azure dragons bless a child that was doomed from the start?". No one knew, and soon after Ruuza's disappearance, she turned into a legend, as no wolf knew for sure if she lived and some doubted her existence entirely. While the wolves talked, all this time she was being raised by Kala and Matt who took her in as their own. |
