Ylva's Lament

Having troubles hearing the story? Story here: My legend begins with a family. A mother... her mate... and her children... We were the first wolves to roam this realm... We lived at peace with the gods that created this land. Luntak, god of the moon... Sayuk, god of the sun... and Aris, godess of the stars... our peace was not to last, as Sayuk was wrongly accused of a crime he did not commit... As was law, he was to hang by the branch of the midnight tree... I knew of his innocence, and howled my pleas to the god of the moon but neither Luntak nor Aris would listen... Without day, there cannot be warmth... without warmth, there cannot be life... I did what I had to do... the flesh from my face peeled away like the bark of a weeping birch... To touch a god is to embrace death, and the overwelming power of the sun god Sayuk burned me with incredible flames as I held him up. I would not let his binds grow taut, even if it killed me... Sayuk was released from his doom, and the gods were touched my my selfless sacrifice... Not wanting to lose a pure hearted soul, the gods granted me with immortality, and I became the spirit of justice... Now... most would relish becoming what is just next to being a god... But what they did only brought me pain... Their gift may have made me immortal, but it did not bring back the beauty I had lost... To those I had once walked beside, I was seen nothing more than a monster that lingered in their dreams... By making me a spirit, the gods had also taken me away from my family, and I watched them grow old and die, and their descendants slowly fall into a feral state until they were nothing but beasts to be hunted by man... For millenniums... my faith in the mortals perished... but then I was summoned to dwell in the body of a strange boy wanting to make a difference... That boy was you.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Written by Ippy ku Directed by Ippy ku Produced by Ippy ku Ylva voiced by adileibu2014 @DeviantART.com Music composed by ONIIIX @DeviantART.com Music Conducted by ONIIIX & Ippy Ku Sound Effects Courtesy of WeVideo Free Audio, and Free Audio @ Youtube.com Art, Story, and Characters all belong to Ippy ku [Ipku @ DeviantART.com] This project is purely fictional, and is not based on any known real Native American legends whatsoever.
