Not one... Not two... Not three... But a thousand
The Staff of Creation had floated into my hand. The Shadow (who's name I still haven't gotten, weirdly) explained,"Ah, you are special. The Staff of Creation chooses one person once another dies." [See, Solarius. I'm special. Haha, sucker! Ow, stop punching me! OW!] Apparently I used up the Staff of Creation, so I couldn't summon a giant fire breathing lion to beat up my cousin for revenge. "Come, let me show you through the palace." Like an illusion, the broken bricks of the castle suddenly turned new and shiny. The walls were polished, and vines no longer hung about. Um, Solrius is pushing me away from my room, so bye!

A New Friend.... And Also My Servant
"Hello my darlings," the shadow had said.
Solarius and I[Yes, I put your name first, Solarius. Now shut up.] were scared stiff. The Shadow said,"You need not fear. Your mother has made me work for you.... Curse her. With magic, too! No one has ever learned it in centuries."
Solarius and I were still scared stiff. What does she mean "we need not worry"? Well, Solarius is enough to control her cuz she's a Moon wolf. Typical. "M-m-magic?" Solarius muttered. "Yes, magic. Tori magic. I'll show you an example. Ke sa akba tu!" A raven suddenly appeared next to the shadow. She chuckled. "Birds are my specialty. Come now, I know the way to your home." I saw a glint in her eyes(do shadows have eyes?) as if she was waiting until the magic-thingy wore off and she could kill us. I didnt look forward to that. We walked the forest for an hour. Shadows still chased us, but recoiled at the smell of a Sun wolf and a Shadow that was their ally. They thought we were friends and glided off.
Finally, an hour passed and we reached this humongous vine-covered castle. What was this place? The Shadow looked at me as if she read my mind. "The Castle of Peace. Your family's home. You inherited it."
"Cooool!" Solarius raced off into the castle and immediately, there was a sound like a trigger and gates shut down in front of her. Ok. Maybe the castle wasn't that peaceful. I wondered if it was cursed or the Shadow was going to trick us. We had no weapons... The shadow read my mind yet AGAIN and frowned. She nodded to a chest hidden in the castle and somehow forced the gates open. She reached into the chest to pull out whatever was in there and suddenly 2 swords, 1 knife, and some strange looking staff were in her hand. I thought Shadows passed through objects. Huh. Maybe I was wrong. The staff was painted with intricate designs. I took it in my hand. It felt cold, yet warm at the same time. I just said some random word like "platypus"! And POOF! A platypus appeared on the floor. "Ok, now what just happened?" "That staff is the Staff of Creation. You say a word, and that appears. Anything can be summoned. But it can only work once a day." Solarius shouted,"I call that!" and I said,"Oh, I called that first in my head!" Then the Shadow yelled'Silence!"
Then, the staff floated out of her shadowy hand and into my paw.

My Journal
"Be quiet, they'll hear us."
"Who is "they"?"
"Shh! Here they come!"
Huh? What? Oh, hello. Now, be quiet. Whisper as low as you can. They're after us.
What's my name you ask? Eclipse.
I'm a Sun wolf. My cousin, Solarius, is a Moon wolf. Now, you might think it is strange that a Sun wolf has a name related to the moon, and vice versa. In my land, the Land of Tori, it isn't strange at all. My people, the Toris, worship the sun and moon greatly. The sun and moon provide all of our power. Without them, no one would live. The Sun God is named Solarius. My cousin was named after him. Solarius's wife(not my cousin, she's 10. I'm 12.) is named Nightstar. Casual for a Moon wolf. Nightstar is evil. Solarius is good. [Stop smirking, Solarius. I don't mean you. You are so annoying.] Evil and good have to be balanced, or else all will cease to live.
Except the Shadows.
They are a great bunch of evil shadows, and they only worship one person. Nightstar. They are unsold, pass through all objects except Tori brick, made from pure shadow. They tend to retract around Sun wolves.
I like being a Sun wolf. Kinda.
Ok, so my journey started when I was a young pup, age of 2. My father died from an unknown reason.My mother, Katie, had searched for him ever since. No luck.
Anyway, the Shadows were chasing us, closing in on our tails. Solarius and I were running through the forest, having no idea where we were. Who cares? I lost almost everyone I have. Except Solarius. She isn't much. [Ow, that's my leg!] Oh, forgot to mention. Solarius is a moon wolf, as I mentioned before. She's descended from Nightstar. Apparently my parents raised her and she eventually became good. She knows tons about the history of Toris. I always get jealous when I think of that. Why couldn't I get something useful for survival? Just before the Shadows pounced on us, we ran into a pile of wooden planks. You don't want a short description? I'll make it even shorter. It hurt. The pile of wood was hollowed out, and the top was covered with grass, leaves, and all sorts of yucky stuff. (Excuse me, I'm a carnivore. Mice fill your belly up well.) Inside, a Shadow was sitting on the wood(I don't think they can sit, as they don't know how to control themselves.).
"Hello, my darlings. You came just in time."
