Chapter 1: Power of a Name

Even the name would cause the hardest wolves to retreat, they said. Names are powerful things; they represent more than just the words themselves, after all. But this name, this name, represent not a group, not an army – nay, it was a singular force that had rocked the foundations of werewolf lore.

It was not too long ago that the beast (for that is the only way to describe a whirlwind of a monster) was nothing more than a rumor – for who would believe that a bitten werewolf could be stronger than a born-wolf? And they had said that the beast was a rookie in their world, too. But that could never be… could it?

Of course, all rumors are built upon slivers of truth – and though most tend to false, this one proved to be true when the beast started to appear before packs great and small, clearing them away like clearing through weeds. Packs feared for their existence and none stepped forward to stop the beast. He would appear in a whirlwind, fierce and impossible to stop, then disappear completely, the loser werewolves claimed by the beast and part of his pack, though they know nothing of their leader.

He was an Alpha, an Omega – the Lone Leader, they called him sometimes.

But that was not the name feared by all.

Spoken only in whispers and hushed conversations, werewolves spoke the name:

Genim

And Genim he was.

No one knew his appearance, nor his age – Genim was untouchable, a mystery that none dare to touch. It seemed that the Lone Leader would remain invincible forever.

Then, all of a sudden, Genim disappeared from the supernatural world. It was as if he had never existed – no one knew his location, what he did now – Genim was no more.

And so, like every civilization, the world went on. Genim became a legend, a bedtime story to scare the cubs into eating their vegetables – a being far away from reality.

But for those who had lived during the age of Genim… they remain always on their toes, looking over their shoulders, just in case the Lone Leader return again to reclaim what was his.

Chapters should be longer in the future. This is just a prologue-sey, after all. And I put "Chapter" because Chapter 1 being Chapter 2 is just a pain.

Don't review if you don't want to - Freedom of choice, after all.
