WIP (work in progress)

story one : Title (Working) The Guardians of the Four Elements

Among two-legged creatures and whispering woods, Ulf the wolf is taught the ancient ways by Master Lysser, a master of forgotten magic in a world unlike our own.

A world shaped by the forces of nature — wind, water, earth, and fire. Each element is protected by a powerful guardian.

The Wind Guardian is a majestic griffin with powerful wings, mastering the flow of air and storms.
The Water Guardian is a graceful amphibian, attuned to the tides and the secrets of the deep.
The Earth Guardian is a strong and noble deer with massive antlers, connected to forests, stone, and soil.
The Fire Guardian is a fierce and elegant dragon, commanding the heat and flame with unmatched power.
These four characters form a mythical team of elemental protectors — each unique in form and magical ability, but united in purpose.

story 2 Title (Working): Fate of the Wolf

Title (Working): Fate of the Wolf

Premise
In a land where beasts walk upright and magic drifts through every shadow, a young wolf named Ulf is destined to reshape the world. Guided by an ancient sorcerer’s teachings and joined by a runaway princess, Liv, he must confront a dark power that threatens to consume magic, nature, and life itself.

The Threat: The Evil One, Bjørn

In the royal capital, the dark sorcerer Bjørn slays a royal bodyguard and uses blood magic to wear his skin. Disguised, he infiltrates the castle, kills the king, and assumes his identity.

The king’s daughter, Liv, a young tiger, begins to suspect something is wrong. The man wearing her father's face is cold and distant, a shadow of the loving father she once knew. One night, she hides in his chambers and sees the truth—Bjørn removes the king’s skin, revealing himself as the imposter.

Bjørn plans to banish Liv to a distant convent to remove her from power. Meanwhile, he seeks the mythical Tree of Life, hoping to consume its magic and dominate the realm.

Ulf – The Wolf of the Sacred Stones

As a baby, Ulf is found near the Sacred Stones, a Stonehenge-like temple, by a wise fox healer named Frode. Ulf is raised in Dogtown—a place of dogs, foxes, and dingoes, where wolves are feared and shunned.

As Ulf begins to show signs of magical talent, Frode warns him to hide it—"A magical wolf is the most dangerous of all." After Frode dies (or after a magical accident), the townsfolk drive Ulf out.

He flees into the Forbidden Forest, a place haunted by spirits. There, he encounters the Skull—the remains of a long-dead magician who teaches him ancient magic. The spirits of the forest, protectors of the exiled and broken, accept Ulf and grant him sanctuary.

Liv & Ulf – A Fateful Alliance

Fleeing the castle, Liv stumbles upon Ulf in the forest. Mistaking him for one of Bjørn’s wolves, they fight. But as they learn each other's true stories, trust grows.
Liv tells Ulf about the Tree of Life and Bjørn’s growing power. Together, they vow to stop him before the world descends into ruin.

The Island and the Dragon

On a distant island, the dragon Aruorm protects the Tree of Life. Bjørn reaches the island, wounds Aruorm, and devours the magical fruit, becoming unnaturally powerful. Aruorm flees, disguised as a small crocodile, and escapes through a portal back to the Forbidden Forest.

Ulf attempts to heal the dying dragon using medicine—but fails. Guided by the Skull, he embraces magic and finally succeeds. Aruorm survives.

The Rebellion Rises

Word spreads: the king uses magic and commands a vicious army of wolves. Fear grips the cities. Magicians vanish. People flee.

Ulf and Liv raise an alliance—mages, warriors, peasants. Ulf crafts golems with knowledge from the Skull, tools of defense and labor. Together, they prepare for war.

They learn the Tree of Life has been cut down, and the island has sunk beneath the sea. Nature's balance is broken—winter falls in midsummer.

Journey to the South

Aruorm reveals an ancient prophecy: a second Tree of Life may exist on a secret southern island. The group builds a ship and sets sail, facing sea monsters, storms, toxic islands, and failing equipment.

The stars no longer guide them—only bone and rune-stone magic can show the way.

The Southern Island Possibilities:

Bjørn reaches the island first and transforms into a dragon.
A second dragon rules the island—an ancient evil that Bjørn worships.
The south island holds the last hope for nature’s restoration—or its doom.

The Final Showdown

Dragon vs. Dragon in the skies.
Ulf leads his golems and forest allies in battle against the wolf army.
Liv fights Bjørn and his bloodhound enforcer, wielding her fire staff.

Amid battle:

Ulf may confront his parents or origins.
Liv may take vengeance for her father.
Aruorm may fall—or rise greater than ever.

The End

The southern Tree offers a seed to replant the northern island.
Two dragons unite to restore balance.
Ulf or Liv may sacrifice themselves for the world.
Bjørn must die.

Perhaps, Liv returns to the capital as Queen. Perhaps, the Sacred Stones open once more.
