The Wolfclan: Chapter 1

The middle ages were not an ideal time to be alive if you happened to be a wolf. The wolf was hated and persecuted more than any other animal. Childish superstitions caused the cruel and continuous attack on one of God's most beautiful creatures.

During this time of injustice there lived a certain pack of wolves. Led by the courageous Kadash and his beautiful mate Molkem, the pack managed to escape countless attacks by humans. Kadash had tried several times to move the pack to a place where no humans lived, but there seemed to be no such place. Outside of the small forest where the wolves lived, humans were everywhere.

Bosard was the back bone of the pack. He was the bravest and strongest of them all. Darny was the clumsiest. He bungled just about any task you could give him. Ramuz was an all around wolf, skilled at everything, exceptional at nothing. Kenam was cunning and smart, and last but not least was Cumrod, who was exceptional at fighting with other animals.

The pack was also fortunate enough to have a liter of five pups. Their names were Zimram, Jokshan, Medan, Dedan, and Kenaz.

Human efforts to eliminate the pack had always failed. Although, sadly, once or twice they had eliminated a wolf from the pack. Pentus and Cholk were two members of the pack who had been killed by humans.

Meanwhile the earth was begin observed by aliens in a space ship. The Aliens looked just like people, except they had a sharp horn on their heads. The horn was about 6 inches and could be very deadly if the alien decided to ram his head into you.

The Commander of the ship was in the library when an excited crew member burst through the doors.

"Sir," he exclaimed, "We found intelligent life on T-50323."

"Shhh," said the commander. "This is a library."

"Terribly sorry sir," whispered the crew member.

The commander stayed where he was for a short time and looked at the books. Then he left the library with the crew member right behind him.

The commander walked down the hall to the main control room. "One of the crew informed me we have found another planet with intelligent life," he said.

"That is correct," said the first officer. "Planet T-50323. The intelligent life on this planet call themselves 'humans' and they call their planet 'Earth'. After scanning their history books we have learned the human way of life is more like our own way of life than any other life form we have encountered before."

"How so," asked the commander.

"Well," began the first officer, "They aren't always living in peace and being nice like those wimps on U-209."

"I remember those idiots," said the commander. "They were the easiest planet we ever destroyed. They had no weapons anywhere."

"However, " continued the first officer, "These humans are, in a way, wimps also. They're not near as great as us. Some of them are even foolish enough to show mercy on an enemy. Many believe you have to actually have a reason to kill somebody, and there are many other foolish things that these humans do."

"What would be the quickest way to destroy this planet?" asked the commander.

"The planet has limited technology," said the first officer. "It has no protective coverings that would prevent us from just blowing it up."

"Now," said the commander as he rubbed his hands together, "What would be the slowest and most painful way to destroy the planet."
