Big Salmon Lake can you taste this gold?

OOC: Sorry for making this post so long. I was trying to make the story actually a good one… Kinda got carried away… I hope you like it!

IC: Majesty sat down near the shoreline of the lake, gazing up at the stars in remembrance of his mother. He smiled as he saw Sirius - the Dog Star - up in the sky. Now he knew what story to tell. He hoped Cara would like it.

"This is a story my mother used to tell me when I was a pup," he began. "A story about a dog who became a star and gained the respect of all wolves who came to know him. This dog's name was Sirius. From puphood until about two years of age, he was raised by a human family, but his ancestral wolf blood was strong in him, and when he grew old enough, he ran away to join them. To join the wolves.

"Well, as you know, wolves and dogs do not normally get along very well. Wolves - for some reason I cannot fathom - believe that they are better than dogs in every way. Obviously not all wolves think this way, but most do. So you can probably guess that Sirius had a hard time becoming accepted into any wolf pack he came across, and this saddened him. After his fifth try and denial, he was becoming tempted to give up and go back home.

"But then, his luck only seemed to get worse. It was Springtime and - he realized - there had not been a drop of rain since the beginning of the season. All around him, he watched as the drought worsened and plants and animals began to die. It felt like the middle of Summer, except much worse. Vegetation was shriveling up, as were the streams and lakes. There didn't seem to be any water anywhere. So, Sirius decided to do something about it.

"Every night, when the stars came out, he would howl to them. As a pup, his mother had told him that each star was a God and that the Gods controlled all things in the world. So, he figured that if he got their attention, they might send down some rain. So each night, for fourteen nights, he howled and howled and howled. And one morning, he woke up… and it was raining!

"Now you might be saying, 'But how does that prove that he had anything to do with it? What if it just started raining because that's what always happens?' This is exactly what I asked my mother at this point in the story, and she told me to hold on because she wasn't done yet. So. Eventually, Sirius was accepted into a wolf pack, and he rose through the ranks quite quickly. He was kind and fair, and so he became the Alpha, and everyone loved him. And for many years, their lives went on as normal. Until the night Sirius died. The wolves in his pack said for many years afterwards that the night he died, when he drew his final breath, his body disappeared! There was no trace of it left over! And suddenly, they saw a light ascending to the sky, and stopping among the stars. And it began to rain…

"And that is why the star Sirius is called the Dog Star. Because Sirius, who was a dog, called forth the rain, and as tribute to this deed, the Gods reached down on his death night and made him a God. And every time it rains, it is said that Sirius is calling forth the Gods of the rain to pour their water down onto the Earth. And that is my story."
