Thou Shall Not Cry

Werewolf are taught the Song of Weeping from the first days. They are taught that the Angel was betrayed by her lover who turned to darkness. They are taught that she weeped tears of divine fire and the rivers sizzled in her rage. That the first wolves of the primal world drank from these waters and would know the rage within the being.   How this translates today is that werewolves are taught after the first changing that life is war, and we will not shed tears for war. We shed tears for our loved ones and the losses to the darkness, but we will not shed tear in battle with the darkness.  
  Werewolves are taught the Song of Weeping from the earliest days of their awakening. This song is more than a mere melody; it is a sacred tale passed down through the generations, telling of an Angel, a celestial being of immense power and grace, who was betrayed by her lover. This lover, once a beacon of light, turned to the shadows, embracing darkness and causing untold suffering. The Angel's sorrow was profound, and she wept tears of divine fire. Her grief was so intense that these fiery tears sizzled and hissed upon touching the earth, turning rivers into boiling streams of rage.   The first wolves of the primal world, drawn by the mystic power of these enchanted waters, drank deeply from the rivers. In doing so, they imbibed not just the essence of the Angel's sorrow, but also her unrelenting fury. This transformative act awakened within them a potent rage—a burning desire to battle the darkness and protect the world from malevolent forces.   Today, werewolves carry this legacy within them. After their first transformation, they are reminded that life is an eternal war. They are taught that while tears may be shed for loved ones and for the innocent lives lost to the encroaching shadows, no tears shall fall in the midst of battle. Their duty is to stand firm against the darkness, to fight with unwavering resolve, and to channel the ancient rage passed down from their ancestors. Tears in battle are seen as a luxury they cannot afford; they are warriors forged in sorrow and tempered by fire.
