The Prince of Nome

Long ago in the land of Alaska there was a mighty kingdom that was ruled by the sled dogs, who, through trials and tribulations conquered and defeated they're rivals to the west, the bears of the land of Yukon and the Moose of British Columbia, and with these victories brought new lands and many years of plenty. In another land far away from Alaska was Siberia, the holy land for the children of Aniu who follow the Great Spirit. They were wolves, a hardy and innocent people. When a great famine struck the land of Siberia the wolves moved across the land bridge and were accepted with open arms by the Alpha of Alaska, Tornassuk. Many hundreds of years past by and in this land of plenty the wolves grew great in number until they rivaled the Sled dogs in stature, and it was the next Alpha Medev who said to his pack, "the wolves are to great in number and may one day take our places as the masters, come let us put them to labor so they may never rise against us". And so it was that the children of Aniu became hated and were set to do the dogs work. In the years that followed Alaskas greatest ruler Atka, the king, came to power and his first order was to have the first litter of wolves or as he liked to say "mongrels" killed so as to help curve their population boom, and if any one was caught harboring a "mongrel" they would be put to the sword and their children would become slaves. Throughout Alaska a great cry befell the land as thousands were massacred before they could even open their eyes. None survived, or so it was thought. In the city of Nenana a mother with her pup ran for her life as she tried to escape the brutal killings. Upon reaching the great Yukon river she put her small, grey pup in a hollow log. "Now go my son may the great spirit protect you on your journey, and never forget what you are but never allow that to determine who you are". The pup began to whine, and with tears in her eyes she watched as the river carried her child north. The pup traveled over 1000 miles and at no time did he ever come in harms way, and after 3 days of travel he came with in sight of the city, the greatest city, the capital of the entire empire...Nome. In the palace of Pukimna, Nome, a white husky and her pup are sitting in a terraced garden, whose water is fed by the Yukon, when a hollowed log floats into the palace grounds. Upon seeing this oddity, the white husky, whose name is Anakia, walked over to investigate the strange sounds coming from the vessel. "Mother what is making those whimpering noises?" asked the small pup to Anakia, "I don't know, but I'm going to find out" she responded. When she opened the log what she saw tore at her heart. Inside was a grey pup with yellow eyes, whose fur was matted and soaking from the trip. Gently she picked the pup up by his scruff and began to carry him off to the palace. "Come Steele let us show your father your new brother".
