Snowfiss’s Story

Click on the image to enlarge it.

This is a story that I wrote for another one of my neopet characters, Snowfiss. I wrote it a while back, so it may not be as well-written as my current writings are. Snowfiss is a lupe which is very much like a wolf. Both of Airiokko’s and Snowfiss’s stories are the same story, however they are told by two different characters meaning you will get different pieces and feelings. They are both pretty sad. Please visit Airiokko and Snowfiss’s page to see more about them along with pictures I have drawn of them.

I led a happy life, until humans interfered. I had a mother, and a father, and we lived in a wintery wasteland. There was snow all around, but we learned to manage. We lived and traveled happily, until one fateful day.

I was born into a white world with snow all around. There were no trees or any other life, except for my loving family and me. We were a traveling family, moving with the food, andn never had much of a home, but the land was my home, and I was happy.

That was before the humans moved in.

We were in the middle of a trip, moving some place else, when we spotted something in the distance. We could see snow blowing everywhere as it glittered in the sun setting below the horizon. We squinted in the distance, and discovered some humans riding on snowmobiles coming towards us. There was a low hum in the distance, growing louder with their presence. My father turned to me and my mother and told us to run for he felt something was not right. He stood proud, tall, stiff, and brave as the monstorous vehicles came racing towards him.

I remember that moment clearly. He stood with the sun glaring brightly on his face, his white fur blowing in the winter wind, the humans charging. Then as if time itself had froze, a man on one of the snowmobiles, swung a club at my father as he drove past. My father was sent flying into the snow, and the men came racing after me and my mother. My squab little legs could not carry me far for I was so young at the time, so my mother picked me up by the fur on my neck, and bolted away. We were running and running without looking back. I do not quite know what happened after that, for I was hit into the snow and knocked unconcious.

When I woke up, my father was lying against me. He was sleeping and his soft breathing was soothed. I was glad to know that he was alright, but where was my mother? I looked around, but could not find her. I pushed off of my father and looked around. She was nowhere in sight.

I went back to my father and cried myself to sleep, softly. My tears rolled down my cheeks and matted my fur.

I had an awful dream that night, laying there against my father’s warm side.

I had dreamt that the world was dark and snowy. Nothing lived but me, although I deeply wished that I was dead. Everything was quiet except for the howling wind rushing past my fur, chilling me to the bone. Everything was surrounded in darkness and I could not see anything except for the stars overhead.

Then I heard my father’s voice from above, as if from the sky. His voice echoed over the land and repeated itself; not exactly speaking words. I then awoke and saw my father’s saddened face staring into my sky blue eyes.

“She is gone,” he said after he noticed that I was awake. A tear escaped his dark blue eye and ran down his cheek. I walked up to him and started to cry along with him, my face buried into his chest.

Afterwards, difficult times were upon us. It was painful to live without my mother. I longed for her, and I missed her so. The worst part was not knowing what had happened to her. Had the humans taken her away? Had they killed her? Was she still alive? Neither my father or I did not know the answers.

I grew up to be a fine looking lupe with a slim body with a nice shine to my beautiful white fur. Although I was very skinny, as food is scarce in such a barren land, my fur was very fluffy and I had much of it to keep my body warmed.

At least I still had my loving father, until that following winter…

The winter had become extremely tough with the temperature colder than it ever was before. The wind grew harsher, and the nights were longer. It weakened my father greatly. He became deathly sick, and I feared for his life.

We were traveling one night, looking for a nice place to sleep when he collapsed in the snow behind me. At first I did not notice until I didn’t hear the sweet pit-pat noise of his feet in the snow. I turned around and ran to his body lying in the frozen snow. His breathing was not quite right. It was short, and choppy. He weezed for air and looked up at me.

“Dear Snowfiss,” he said between breaths, “You light up my darkened world. You are my heaven on Earth, and I love you dearly.” I stared at him with saddened eyes and began to tear. “I must leave you, however you must continue on. Live strong. I know you can…” His last words stayed with me as I curled up beside his body and thought to myself. His body stopped breathing and the life escaped from his eyes as they slowly closed. He was gone.

I wandered around the following week, praying for a guardian angel to come help me, until I could not stand it any longer. I tilted my head back, and told the world of my pain and my sadness. My howl filling the world with my bleak soul. I was depressed and had nowhere to go; no one to turn to. I was also all alone in the world; the dark, cold world. Just like my dream…until he came. At first I did not notice him, until he had walked up right behind me.

It was another lupe. He was strong and slim with white fur and a navy blue belly. He had a black band around his nose, muzzle, tail, and ankles, with black tipped ears, and dark blue feet, and tip of tail. He looked so strong and muscular, but had a hurt look in his saddened eyes. Then I thought of my prayers for a guardian angel and cried out, “You have come! My prayers have been answered! Are you here to help? Have you been sent from above?”

He studied me with his dark blue eyes until he answered, “I am Airiokko, and I live here. I have not had a mother since I was young, and I do not know who my father is, or where he is. I have wandered and survived here for many years alone and sad. What about you? Why are you here? And where did you come from?”

“Well I too live here, and I also have no mother or father. But it is not for those reasons. My mother was taken away by humans, and my father, well he…he just couldn’t make it through this winter. He…..he passed away about last week.” I said weakly. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. Embarassed, I tried to fight it, but I was not strong enough. “I am sorry,” I quickly exclaimed, then I ran as fast as I could into the blinding snow beyond. I do not really know why but I ran and ran until I could not run any longer. My heart was aching and I ran from the very thing that could cure it.

I lived on and thought over the encounter deeply. Who was that lupe, and why hadn’t I seen him before. Then one day, I felt too overcome and fell to my knees. A sort of trance waved over me, and I fell into a deep sleep…

I woke up in a new, strange, unfamiliar cave by a fire, and the white and navy blue lupe waved across my mind. Had he brought me here, and if he did, why did he leave? Airiokko…

I thought of him for a while until I decided to leave. I did not understand why, but I could not stop thinking of him. No matter where I went, he just happened to come across my mind. I felt happy, sort of, whenever I thought of him.

Could this possibly be love?

I could not keep him from my mind, until I decided that I could not live another day without seeing him. I immediatly ran to the cave howling as I ran. When I found it in the distance ahead of me, it was like it belonged in a fairy tale.

He was standing in the entrance with the fire glowing orange behind him, and his white fur blowing in the harsh wind. I ran towards him, and it seemed to me as if this was how it was supposed to be. We were meant for eachother. We belonged together. we could not be seperated.

I ran up to him and buried my face in his chest. I started to cry and wimper, my depressful world starting to brighten. He then urged me to come into his cave by the fire where it was warmer.

We sat down and I had stopped crying. I still had tears in my eyes, however I was better now. This was where I wanted to be. I stared at the fire, how it flickered and danced about. Then I softly said, “Thank you…for what you did earlier…Airiokko,”

“How did you know it was me?” he asked. “You were not awake.”

“You and I are the only ones here, plus just a lucky feeling,” I said with a slight chuckle.

We sat and talked for a while. I learned that he had actually become a lot more depressed then I could ever imagine. His mother had been killed by humans right in front of him when he was very young. I then felt sorry for him. How could he have lived worse then me? He never even knew his father and had grown up all his life without his mother. We soon became great friends, and I agreed to his idea of living with him.

Now my love for him was certain! Now I do not feel as sad, lonely, or scared anymore. He has made my life brighter, and I am glad that we came across eachother, for if it wasn’t for him, I probably wouldn’t even be here right now.
