Phoenix Maplewood Prayer

Lunar nodded,watching Spring curiously. She hoped the female wouldn't laugh,her pack's ways had been odd in relation to those she had met. "We prayed to the ancestors. For guidance,for luck,anything. Every pup learns of it's ancestors at least three generations back,"she told Spring. She wasn't sure how much else to mention. The information about her lineage had been withheld from her,she was the weak link. The runt,the omega. Nothing important enough to waste prayer on. Even her name was a symbol of her disgrace. Like a moon casting a shadow upon the earth, she had cast a shadow upon her family. Or in her own father's words, a stain; a dark spot;etc.
