Nothing Special
Four
Cliff and his siblings were almost fully grown at just under a year old. He stayed the biggest and the brawniest, but Fern was close in second, her muscles powerful beneath her elegant pelt. Tree Frog was moderate, her body shape very close to that of their uncle Sap’s. Vulture stayed slim, but what he missed out on with muscle he made up for in wit and speed. He was the fastest wolf that Cliff knew, and in almost every conversation he had a backlashing tongue that could inflict wounds as severe as bite marks.
Bone was finally growing into his body, his fur growing less loose and more shaped to his body. He was a handsome young wolf, Cliff would give him that: but as was Vulture. It was nothing special. Those eyes were the only thing that set Bone apart, and what did a pair of eyes matter if he didn’t use them for spotting prey?
All that his littlest brother did was lecture them about rules from the ancestors and other riffraff, as Tree Frog had called it. He didn’t take time to practice his hunting or fighting, and he was in no way searching for a mate. There were few other wolves of their pack who weren’t their direct family, only a couple of former dispersers, but he didn’t pay any attention to them, always distracted with his head in the clouds.
It was excessive.
It was annoying.
Part of Cliff hoped that, since Bone knew barely any battle tactics, that he would stumble upon a bear or cougar. Part of Cliff hoped that he would fall asleep and never wake up, and finally go and join the ancestors that he adored so greatly.
Those parts of Cliff weren’t as happy as he’d thought when that almost happened.

President Loki,
I read your story about Cliff and his pack. I don’t understand the ending. Bone was always the nice brother. I think he should have forgave Cliff. You’re stories are usually very good but I’m gonna be honest. I didn’t really like this one. Cliff said himself that bone was the runt. Why would he try to overthrow Cliff? It doesn’t make sense to me.

huh this is brown not bright orange???????
Okay, our brains are much more similar than I first thought... what you just described for Folds of Insanity sounds like what I was thinking.
Hehe... heh...
~CL1 may be a little freaked out.
(P.S.) I kindly request Canary gets a small cameo or something. She is DEFINENTLY in the Opposite lol.

Three
They were three months old now, and growing faster than ever. Cliff sat just outside of their sleeping den, watching Fern and Vulture wrestle. Tree Frog was crouched nearby, watching them with narrowed eyes, her light gray pelt a silhouette in the shadows.
The longer that Cliff spent around his little siblings and the longer that their personalities swelled and grew and formed, the more of a leader he became. Not only a leader, but a peace-keeper and a rule enforcer.
Vulture was the closest to him. He was still slim, more like a cat than a wolf with his lengthy and wiry body. He loved to wrestle and assert his dominance over his sisters, but never dared challenge Cliff.
Fern was becoming muscular and wasn’t one to let Vulture win a fight. She respected all of her siblings, and ensured that all of them were included, even little Bone. She was probably the only one who interacted consistently with their littlest brother.
Tree Frog was quiet and calculative. That could be a dangerous issue with challenging him for the alpha role one day, but she wasn’t very strong and lost every wrestling match that she initiated with her siblings.
And then there was Bone… Cliff looked over at him, sitting beside their mother, listening to her stories of the ancestors AGAIN. Even after all five of them had started learning to hunt and gotten more food, Bone hadn’t filled out. He was still skinny, but not in a natural way like Vulture. His ribs showed occasionally through his fur, and if he arched his back enough, the ridges of his spine were visible. All that he cared about were the stories that their mother told; he never wanted to join their wrestling, or even their conversations. None of Cliff’s siblings liked him, but Fern made a point to be kind.
Cliff narrowed his eyes as he watched Bone, looking up at their mother with wide blue eyes, listening intently to every detail of her story. So what, he decided, if his little brother didn’t want to play fight? That gave him less of a chance being able to fight well in a challenge for the alpha role.
It was fine if Bone wanted to waste his life listening to stories of their dead relatives. He was nothing special, anyways.

Cliff’s mother had told him that soon they would get to leave the den and explore the rest of their little camp, and meet the rest of their family. Only mother entered the den, her dark brown and gray fur soft and full of familiar scents, as well as new ones.
Vulture pawed at her throat as she laid inside with them, pushing his snout against her windpipe until she opened her jaws and regurgitated the hunks of meat that made up their meal. Each of Cliff’s siblings tackled the food, writhing to reach the warm, saliva-coated flesh first and eat their fill. And there was Bone, shoved to the back and avoiding his siblings’ scuffles as they battled for their mouthfuls.
Fern shoved Vulture off of another piece of their meal, taking it in her own little jaws and maneuvering her way over to Bone, where she dropped it at his feet. Their little brother mustered a smile of thanks and dove into eating, swallowing quickly before sidling away, hiding between their mother’s strong front legs.
“Enough, Vulture,” she scolded, pushing him away with her nose. “You’ve had your fill. Give your brothers and sisters a chance to eat, too.”
“Can you tell us a story about the ancestors?” came Bone’s quiet voice from where he laid in his safe spot. Cliff had to keep himself from rolling his eyes: that was all Bone wanted to hear about were ancestors, ancestors, ancestors. He never wanted to hear about the outside world, or their family, or hunting. Always the ancestors.
Their mother smiled, nodding. “Of course, little Bone,” she said gently. “Of course.”
