Once upon a time, there was a wolf god.

His name was Demenik, and he loved all of his charges very much.

Some he loved more than others, and they gave him pups, unlike his wife.

So, he took the into his forest, and they became gods.

Each had a turn to rule, and most did it well enough.

Keegan didn't.

He was a bad god, ignoring his people's cries in favor of his own wants.

The forest suffered.

His father cast him out of the forest, telling him to never come back.

Keegan laughed, and said he wouldn't want to, anyway.

Keegan met a bear, and left behind a leg.

He met a cruel child, and left without an eye.

Years passed.

And then Keegan's heart stopped.

He didn't.

Eventually, he was a pile of bones that didn't move anymore.

And then the bones became dust, and flowed to all the corners of the world.

But never the forest where his father still lived.

And he died happily ever after.
