The Wolf's Howl of Punishment

Once upon a time, a cunning wolf discovered a secret howl that cast out any target within his pack, bringing him both fear and a rise in status.

Inspired, other wolves imitated him, using the howl to eliminate rivals and gain attention.

Soon, the special howl became the norm, uniting the pack in shared condemnation.

Those who resisted were cast out, while those who obeyed remained in the pack, suppressing their true nature.

However, as the pack dwindled in size and strength, they became easy prey for their adversaries.

In their final moments, as their pack shattered, they realized the true cost of their status-chasing.
