The Wolf: 

Narrator: ''The Wolf. So great was his power that he could slay any foe.

The Wolf: ''Demons quake before me! I have faced down the Legions of the Dark Titan! But still I thirst for battle!



Narrator: ''After the battle The Wolf would not stop his battles, even though there was peace. His rage disrupted the balance and Mother Moon looked down upon him with pity.



The Wolf: ''Who are you to tell me what to do?! I laugh at your weakness!'' 

Narrator: ''And this is why wolves howl at the moon. But Mother Moon disapproved and she planted a great tree.



Narrator: ''And The Wolf, under it's power, fell into dreams.



Narrator: ''And that is how peace was brought to the Savage Wolf. For Mother Moon brings peace. And one must learn to balance ferocity and peace within to lead a happy, Moon blessed life.
