"Eyes of the Spirit Wolf"
Among the northern tribes, there is a sacred tale passed from elder to child — the legend of Tala, the Spirit Wolf whose eyes could see through time.
Tala was not born from a mother but from the union of moonlight and the heartbeat of the earth. His fur was marked with ancient patterns that shimmered with red, black, and white — colors representing life, spirit, and the unseen. His eyes were said to hold visions of what was, what is, and what may come.
Whenever the people of the tribe faced moments of great uncertainty, they would journey into the quiet forests and call upon Tala’s spirit. Only those with pure intent and strong hearts could see him — not with their eyes, but with their dreams.
One such seeker was a young girl named Ahyoka, whose name meant “She Brought Happiness.” One night, the stars vanished, and darkness fell across the land. The tribe feared the spirits had turned away. In silence, Ahyoka ventured into the woods, barefoot and brave, her heart beating like a drum.
She sat beneath the Whispering Pine and closed her eyes. There, in her vision, Tala appeared — fierce, still, and watching. “Why have the stars left us?” she asked.
Tala answered without words. His gaze pierced into her soul, revealing that the stars had not left — the people had simply stopped looking up. They had forgotten the old songs, the sacred fires, the unity of heart.
When Ahyoka returned, she brought with her the memory of Tala’s eyes and his silent message. That night, the tribe gathered, sang the old songs, and rekindled the sacred flame. And when they did, the stars returned — brighter than ever.
To this day, it is said that when you look into the eyes of a wolf and feel something ancient stir within you, it may be Tala, reminding you to remember who you are, and where you come from.
