The Story of Werewolves

You've probably hear hundreds of different werewolf legends right? Well I'm going to give you the actual story that all actual werewolves believe to be the beginning of us. Many hundreds of years ago there was a general in some army (no i don't know his name or what army, no one does) that was in a huge war with someone else. Well one night his entire army, except about a hundred soldiers, was killed by their enemy. So they retreated and ran into the woods. Half of the men died from hypothermia, starvation, and infection, they were said to follow a trail of wolf paw prints through the snow. All but 20 of the soldiers died on their trek through the woods, but the general seemed insane to find these wolves, he said "I've never seen a wild wolf, and i wish to see one before i die." The reason he wanted to so badly was because his father was a huge deal as a general in the army they called him "Great Wolf."
They finally reached a small cave where the wolves made their den, at the sound of their approach, the Alpha a huge black wolf came out to protect his family. The general smiled and knelt down in the snow before the black wolf. Then they were attacked by his enemies again (even though they already were defeated), the general got four arrows in his back, the wolf got three arrows in his chest. They both collapsed on the ground face to snout, and the general reached out and covered the wolf's paw with his hand and whispered "We are more alike than anyone could ever guess, wolf, i am proud to die by your side." As the blood of Man mingled with the Blood of Wolf on the ground, the man was reborn with half the soul of man, and half the soul of the great black wolf.
His story gets choppy after that, no one is quite sure what he did the first couple years of his wolf life, but we do know that in his fourth year as wolf he married a human woman, and told her of all his secrets, and she still loved him. The first werewolves were their children and we were are all descendents of them. I hope you enjoyed this story of my ancestors, if you want i'll continue writing about them.

  3. I've studied werewolves for some time so I know that this isn't the only tale believed to explain the beginning of the story but I can honestly say I've never heard this version. Where is the story from?

  4. I'm not sure where it's from. Benny is almost 5 centuries old and he heard it when he was first bitten.
