Shadow Dram Holt is a combination of Wolf-riders, Cat-riders, Bea-riders, Fox-riders, Rat-riders, Ocelot-riders, Deer-riders, Bird-riders, Ocean-riders, and many more land, sky, and ocean riders. Shadow Dream Holt is set in what would be considered the medieval time period in human history.

Originally a tribe of High Once who had escaped from the palace long ago came to Shadow Dream Forest and created three Holts. These three Holts where bound by blood. The High Once made a living in Shadow Dream forest. But they where scared and turned to the ocean where they where sure no humans could harm them. FreeFins was elected the leader of the small group because he seemed to be the strongest, most out going, and wisest of the small group. That was when Blood Tied was created. With there magic they created a home that they could all live in.

They chose a small cove and crated a coral reef barrier so to keep anyone that wanted to get in out. Even around the beach they created a wall. It was like a big circle. Some called it a coliseum for that is what it really looked liked. There where only a few ways in. But these ways where not easy. Coming into the Holt was not easy. To get to the Holt you had to first pass over a beautiful looking garden of sea flowers. You had to be careful though because most of them where poisonous and deadly. Once you passed the garden of death as they called it you came to a deep trench that they created. It was like a cliff under water you had to swim to the bottom of. As you swam lower the water got colder and the light from the sun would no longer reach you. You now swam in the dark all except for a small path that was light by rocks they called glow rocks.

Following that you would come to a cave. There if you dared to enter would come across many troubles unless you knew your way threw it. The cave was actually a giant maze. If you did not know what you where doing or the way you where going you could end up dead. There where many traps and sea creatures that found their homes with in the caves. If you entered the caves you had to have a source of light. Weather you had a light shaper with your or a glow rock you would not be able to see were you were going. There was only three ways threw the maze of caves to the Holt. After what had happened to them when they first got to the planet they called Wagaya they wanted to create a home that was safe for all of their kind. Once you got threw the maze of darkness you came to a beautiful place. The Holt was huge and full of many dens, rooms and other things.

The High Once wanted to create something that there children would love. If you where to swim to the middle and look around all you would see is a huge wall full of dens and caves every where. Some where filled with water because they didn’t have a barrier. But some where completely dry. If you where to enter them you would enter a dry cave. It would be like living in a cave on land. Turning to look at the door you would see where the water just seemed to stop and not flow in. Here they keep there meet and other things they wished to keep dry. Some preferred dry dens instead of water dens. The Holt was full of dens like this and others. Each one had a glow rocks in there dens for light or heat. They where 3 types of rocks. Blue were for light only. Red were for heat only and purple was for heat and light. These rocks where easily turned on by the touch of another glow rock of the same kind. They look like regular rocks in the shapes of crystals but actually had the power to create light and heat. Everyone that lived in Blood Tied carried a small piece of each kind of rock with them so they would be able to use others around the Holt. This was their source of heat and light. For many, many turns they where happy with there surroundings. They would leave to hut and always had plenty of food.

One day Free Fins recognized and had a cub named SnowWave. She loved there home but she got carious. She wanted to know what was out side of Blood Tied. Even from the stories she heard from the elders and her family she wanted to know what was out there. Her father passed away and the Holt was left to her. She became the second generation of Blood Tied Chief’s. She wanted to expand past what her father did. She wanted to know more of the out side world. She left Blood Tied one day with some others to explore the surface. There she found a wondrous frost. The forest they called Shadow Dream forest. It was mystical looking. Fog and mist covered the land. From tiny to large creatures played and scurried along. It was a whole New World to them. As they ventured deep into the forest a little ways they came across something that looked like a Holt. But it was abandoned and there where some bodies of long gone elves. What happened they didn’t know but SnowWave found this to be a grate opportunity. She thought maybe one day they would return and they would meet other elves that lived above the water.

Some of the others form the sea wanted to come to the land to live and those that could did. SnowWave had very strong flesh shaping ability that had come form her mother’s side of the family. She flesh shaped some of the once who wished to live on land that couldn’t. That was when Blood Point was created. SnowWave recognized twice. She recognized to Flipper and had a cub named Fish. But one day Flipper was killed on a hunt. Devastated SnowWave left Fish in charge of BloodTied Holt and flesh shaped herself so she could live on land. There she lived with the others and became Chieftess of Blood Point. She recognized again to a Wolfrider and had another cub named Leaf who took over after her mother and fathers death.

SnowWave and the others created another beautiful home. High in the trees they created a whole New World. Some elves found that they had the ability to shape rocks, trees, plants and other things. They even had the ability to heal them. They used this to create Blood Point. High in the trees dens where shaped and trees where connected to create walkways from one tree to another. Looking from the ground though you couldn’t tell that there was a whole New World up there for the mist and fog from the forest covered it. Stare cases where created in some of the trees to lead to the ground for those who where not good at tree climbing. There was on tree that was deemed the mother tree. It was where SnowWave lived. It was big enough to hold every elf in the Holt for protection for many days if it was needed. It was big and convertible. Once SnowWave past away Leaf took the place of her mother and crated boundaries. New elves stated to appear. Those that rode all kinds of animals. They came together and learned a lot of new things from the nomads that seemed to wonder into there home.

Fish had taken over BloodTied Holt and lead it’s people well. The same with Leaf, she ran Blood Point Holt very well and was learning new things every day. It became a peaceful Holt on the beaches of Blood Tied. Fish found out that his sister Leaf had taken over their mothers other Holt and went to meet her. He meat with her almost everyday and they keep a close bond together. But one day Fish recognized a glider that had come into Blood Point from a mountain far away. They had a cub but Fish still lived in the water. He wasn’t going to give up something he loved so much. His lifemate Hawk where close and where with each other everyday but Fish lived in the water and she lived on the land. Hawk and Fish had got in a fight one-day and Hawk took off with there unborn chilled into the clouds. There she found a magnificent discovery. It was a mountain in the clouds. It floated above the crater that Blood Tied was in.

It turned out to be the rock that the High Once who came to Blood Point had put together and put it in the clouds creating a Mountain that floated. It floated right over Blood Tied witch was proof of where it had come from. Hawk made her home there and named it Blood Mountain. She turned it into a beautiful home. (Kind of what Blue Mountain looked like on the inside) Hawk told the others and they couldn’t believe it. She took Leaf and Fish up there to prove to them there really was a mountain. To their surprise they shared with their Holts everything they had seen. Hawk loved to live in the mountain and clouds. Her and Fish grew apart but didn’t hate each other. She had let him live in the ocean where he loved to be so he could only let her live in the clouds where she loved to be. Their cub was born in Blood Point Holt where the two could be together. They named their cub SunSpot.

SunSpot lived with his mother Hawk but visited Blood Point and his father often. When we was older he recognized with the Chieftess of Blood Point Leaf. They had a cub as well. His name was CloudRunner. He lived with his mother Leaf on land though. One day Hawk went to see Fish and ended up recognizing for a second time. She recognized with TwoSpear and they had a cub that they named Jellyfish. Jellyfish lived with her mother Hawk. She meat with her father everyday though. She was tired of living in Blood Mountain with her mother and brother. She wanted to live with her father in the ocean. Her father said it was fine with him but she would half to talk with her mother. So Jellyfish did and her mother said it was fine. With the fines and gills she inherited from her father she lived in the ocean with her him and Fish her stepfather. One day Fish passed away as did Leaf not long after. SunSpot's hart torn into shreds from Leaf’s death he locked himself in the mountain. Hawk died four turns after Fish and left SunSpot to take over Blood Mountain. His sun CloudRunner than took over Blood Point. Fish left Blood Tied to Jellyfish before he passed away.

Than one day Jellyfish came to see how everyone was doing on land and how her brother was. Her brother SunSpot was doing ok but was lonely. Jellyfish recognized with CloudRunner after having a fight, they had a cub named StormTied. She lived with her mother in the ocean and took over BloodTied once she died. Her father passed away two but before both her parents died they recognized again and had another cub named TiedRunner who soon became Chieftess of Blood Point. SunSpot had recognized two turns after Jellyfish and CloudRunner again with another Glider that had come into Blood Point and had than come up to Blood Mountain with SunSpot for a few turns. They recognized and had a cub named BrightStorm. Who now leads Blood Mountain! And so after all of this we are left with three wise Chief and Chieftess, StormTied of Blood Tied Holt, TiedRunner of Blood Point Holt and BrightStorm of Blood Mountain Holt.

However their peace did not last forever. A grate disaster came across the three tribes. On the day that the three tribes came together at the same time every year to give thanks to their ancestors for their wonderful lives something happened. It turned out that a dark elf that had been in hiding from everyone for many, many turns and crating a way to take over the elves and destroy all humans and trolls that threatened there new home came to the ceremony. The elf they called Nikumu. All the elves had heard stories of him but didn’t believe them.

He was a High One with grate, grate evil magic. He had the ability to manipulate others minds and make them bend to his will. On that day he had come and attacked all the elves minds. But that was when StormTied found out her ability to block his magic. She blocked it from TiedRunner and BrightStorm’s minds. She tried to do it for others but he was to strong and she was new to her magic. She was able to save her sister and her young Uncle but the others where bent to Nikumu’s will and than taken. He had destroyed Blood Point and some of Blood Mountain and the three where left there to rebuild there homes that had taken so much time to create. TiedRunner and StormTied’s young uncle BrightStorm tried to fight but StormTied held her uncle back from the fight. She knew he would hate her for life for that but there wasn’t anything he could do and she knew he would die.

BrightStorm than demanded a search party for his tribe as did TiedRunner but StormTied told them not to. They didn’t lesson. She had seen what Nikumu had done to the others. He had changed their bodies and warped their minds to become creatures of his will. She knew what the two would find. When BrightStorm found his lovemate she was dead. Her body was completely deformed she had killed herself to release herself from Nikumu’s power. StormTied had gone with them but brought away to find her lost lovemate. She had found her lovemate but only she saw him. He was in a cave full of darkness. His body deformed as well but his mind was partly his. His duty was to guard the entrances to Nikumu’s world. He was hideous looking and StormTied could barley bear to look at him. They had a conversation and soon she took the life of her loved one with her own hands. When she came out of the cave her uncle and sister where there looking at her. No one but her and one other knew what went on in that cave between her and her lovemate. That one other was one of Nikumu’s tribe but StormTied did not know of her.

When they saw there was nothing they could do they returned to their homes and started to rebuild them. Their uncle locked himself in his Mountain just like their grandfather had done. StormTied did the same to herself in the ocean but tried to get over what happened back in the cave. She came to see her sister every once and a while. Most of the time she was found by herself doing what she wanted. It was clear what happened in the cave tore her soul deeply. But over the years she seemed as if she was getting over it. In truth she wasn’t, she was just creating a mask to cover it up so she could help her uncle and her sister. She knew secrets that none of the others knew but wanted to keep them safe from them.

Over the turns TiedRunner found that Nikumu’s tribe came out on full moons looking for others to add to his collection and growing army. She learned that staying in her den was a safe place. That was when she gave them a name. She named them Songai. Or the lost once. Now they sit rebuilding their homes and waiting and hoping for others to come back. Maybe even once that might have escaped but it seemed as if there where none.
