Newfound Families

by SabreSpark
A wolf, alone and severly injured. A basalisk with unknown origins. Both taken in and cared for by Fluttershy. Now they become the most unlikely family as they uncover a hidden conflict centuries old between their two races. What role will they play?

Zeviathan has always been different from the other wolves and has never truly been part of the pack. His incompetence finally lands him to a brutal confrontation with the pack leader. Alone and injured is how Fluttershy finds him before taking him in and nursing him back to health. Of course, things get more complicated with the addition of Slithe, a young basilisk whose origins are unknown. Now caring for both, Fluttershy finds herself growing ever more attached to the duo.

Over time, these three become the most unlikely family as they delve further into a nearly forgotten history between the wolves and basilisks. Now, with old tensions rising, can this newfound family overcome the hatred and keep the peace? How will this affect Zeviathan and Slithe? Will Fluttershy be able to keep her new family safe?

This is a collaboration between me and my good friend Shadow Skull. All credit for the story is divided equally between us.
