We start off in Plasma Pack, a pack of Grey Wolves in the forests of Northern Ontario, Canada. The alpha pair, a brave, buff male named Zentrex and a sly female named Arcadiax have their first pup on October 23rd. He grows up very quickly and, despite his young age and skinny and thin stature, survives a harsh winter. For all he knows, his name is Zwelyx. That following spring, on March 30th, another pup is born. She's a slightly smaller she-wolf who takes a bit of her father's buffness and the competitiveness of her mother. As far as she knows, her name is Lexyyah. The beta female of Plasma Pack, August, births a little on the same day, a male and female. The male was tiny and frail, named October. The female matched Lex in buffness and size. Her name was Pipher. However, when the pups were born, their father and August's mate, Nova, disappeared and was later found dead by causes unknown.

August's litter was paid next to no attention, since the alpha's daughter and subordinate was born. They showered her with gifts of flowers, feathers and shells she would treasure when she was older. Zwelyx helped to take care of his little sister, feeling proud to finally be a big brother. A couple of days later, however, October died and the pack had held a funeral for the tiny pup. August was distraught and horrified at the loss and sppiled Pipher because of it.

Summer approached and Lexyyah was apprenticed under Arcadiax, wile Pipher was apprenticed by August. Zwelyx had been apprenticed by Zentrex and was already hunting, but it occured to him during training that he could not smell for some reason. The medicine wolf said this was a rare occurance, like a pup being born blind or def, but there was nothing they could do. Zwelyx felt stupid, always having to leave camp with someone since he couldnt follow scents back to camp. Meanwhile, a bitter rivalry broke out between Lex and Pip, both striving to outdo eachother. Arcadiax thought it was cute and August pretended to play along, but really, she hated both mother and pup, teaching Pipher to hate them, too. But Acadiax's family didnt hate anybody. She didnt hate August and she considered them good friends. Zentrex was actually very weary of her and Pip and Zwelyx and Lex hated Pip for acting all stuck up all the time.

Autumn was here and both Lex and Pip were done training. Lex was always with her older brother. Hunting, playing, anything else they were told to do. Lex took it upon herself to help Zwelyx out because he couldnt smell, making him feel a bit less embarrassed about being practically escorted out of camp. Pip loved to tease him for it, causing Lex to step in and defend her brother, both siblings lashing back at her. Then August would complain that Lex and Lyx started it and basically try to get them in trouble. It never really worked, especially when Zen was involved, but that didnt stop her from trying.

Secrets were swapped and August managed to get about half of the pack members together. She made Acadiax seem like a horrible wolf who was ultimately going to make the pack suffer by other packs atracking, prey shortages, not enough territory, ect. She made them thing that the surrounding packs thought Plasma Pack wolves were pushovers, which wasnt true at all. She vowed that when she took over the pack, she would make everyone fear the Plasmas and take land and prey from neighbors, keeping the pack alive.

In late November on a beautiful cloudless day, Lex and Zwelyx went out into the forest near the boarders to play. Lex loved heights and climbed trees frequently, but Lyx, not so much. Lex managed to climb to the top of the tree while Zwelyx sat down at the bottom. But Arcadiax sensed a strong thunderstorm on the way and hurried everyone inside, asking Zen to find Lex and Lyx. The siblings noticed the storm clouds and decided to head back to camp, but Lex was having trouble getting down and couldnt catch their scent back. Zwelyx, who was learning to read wind currents, told them to go East, away from the storm, since they were upwind before. But camp was West; the wind currents were changed when the storm approached. Lex startednhopping though the branches while Zwelyx ran on the ground, following Lex. But camp was the other way. They crossed the pack boarder and kept moving f.arther away, the rain that started to pour over them washing away the trails they left, making Zen unable to find them.

The rain made the branches of the trees very slippery and after a while, Lex fell behind. Zwelyx was going f.arther ahead. Lex was about to call out to him when she slipped and fell on a larger branch. Knocking the wind out of her. She couldnt really breathe, let alone call out to Zwelyx, who was out of her sight at this point. That was when it happened; the clouds let loose their fury on the tree Lex had fallen in. All she remembered was the brightest of blinding lights, a searing pain and the wind rushing up her back as she fell.

Meanwhile, Zwelyx hears the boom of thunder and turns to see if Lex is beside him, but is quite scared to see that she isnt. He howls for her and tries to backtrack, but is worried he'll get lost on his way "back to camp". He decides to keep moving forwards, knowing the pack will help him.

While Zen is out looking for his pups, he is approached by August. She reveals that she knows that he k.illed her mate, Nova, because he stole August away from him. Zen thought his flawless plan was flawless; get him while hunting and slit his throat, muffling his cries and tackling him to the ground. But August figured it out. She was infuriated and k.illed Zen by doing the same thing he did to Nova; slit the throat and muffle the cries. She realized that now that he was down, she could fight Arcadiax and try to take over the pack. She ran back into camp and gathered her members while Arcadiax, worried about Zen, follows the scent of blood and finds him dead. The faint smell of August in his fur infuriates the alphess and she bounds back to camp to avenge her dear mate.

Zwelyx keeps running, but cant find camp and starts to howl and cry for Lex. Meanwhile, Lex gets up and feels groggy, falling in mud and just a bit stiff. She saw that her black hair was now tippec with white, which was strange. The scent of blood hit her nose and she followed it groggily, not quite able to walk.

The source of the blood was from August and Arcadiax's fighting. The pack had broken into an all out war with eachother; August, Pipher and half of the pack was fighting for New Plasma, while Arcadiax was fighting for Old Plasma and her mate's death. Lexyyah finds her way to camp and sees this fight, her mom looking at her with bewildered eyes. Lex's eyes went from green to blue and her hair was now white tipped. Her fur was mangled and muddy and she was a mess. August ordered Pipher to fight Lex and the two glared at eachother with burning hate.

Pip and Lex fight, but Lex is exhausted, feeling drained and weighed down. Tons of swings are taken at Lex, but she dodges very few. August calls out to hit her in the eye and a paw is swung, a claw finding its way above Lex's left eye and tearing downwards, Lex staggering away with a howl of pain. She opens her eye just in time to see her vision fade away, blood clouding her vision. Now she was even more handicapped. But she felt a power stir within her, this red light flickering in the back of her mind that grew stronger and bigger with each hit she took, reaching a dangerous point when she took the slash to the eye. Sparks popped and electricity started to fly around her as her rage built, Pip and August looking terrified, however, Arcadiax didnt seemed shocked. In a flash of light, Lex felt lightweight and agile, the white in her hair turning red. She lunged and took out Pip's right eye in return, delivering more blows in a couple seconds than Pip did in the entire fight. Sparks flew and electricity buzzed whenever Lex made a sharp movement until it was too strong. Lex felt the red electric aura become too much and she had to find some way to release the preassure of the crushing aura. Pip saw this and her eyes went wide. Scared and horrified, she lunged into the outside of camp and kept running as a giant red shockwave flew through camp from Lex, leaving a thunder-like echo in its wake. When Lex opened her eyes, her hair was a tealy blue and everyone around her was dead or dying, her left eye visionless.

She runs up to her mother, who says that she is the Plasma Legacy. She should carry on the pack the way she saw best fit and that she was proud to mother a daughter like her. She also revealed that August k.illed Zen and that he loved her and Zwelyx very much. Her name wasnt just Lexyyah, it was Lexyyah Symphonia Farron. Zwelyx was Zwelyx Zentrex Farron. Her last words were, "Lexyyah, you've finally found your spark. Now, its time for you to shine like the lightning you were born to be." Lex cries over her mothers body until she hears gagged laughter. Lex is red again when she realizes its August, who laughs and calls her stupid for k.illing her own mother. Lex stomps over to the paralyzed she wolf and gives her the meanest red-eyed glare she's ever given anyone.

Lex t.ortured August cruelly. She ripped open her paw pads and broke her claws, clawed at her exposed chest and belly till it bled heavily, bit off her tail piece by piece, shredded her ears with her fangs and lastly, tore at each of her eyes. Electricity built up again and she let it out, not in a shockwave, but into August. She howled in pain, then went motionless, but Lex continued the t.orture, ripping out fur and flesh until she couldnt bite her anymore; the body was too stiff. Her hair and eyes went back to teal and blue.
She hasnt gone red for years and years since.
But when she does...
... Watch out.

In tne future from that moment, Lex realizes she can turn into a human at will. She wanders and trains her human self to be strong and agile, like her wolf body. She meets friends like Justify and eventually, Jude, her beloved mate. Zwelyx pops into the story again and reveals to Lex that the origibs of Plasma Pack were electrokinetic shapeshifters of a kingdom who wanted to live their lives as Grey Wolves. Arcadiax and Zentrex were the only survivors; they didnt populate too much because since they were humans at one point, they only deliver one pup at a time, but that pup is bigger than others at the time of birth, which is why Arcadiax had the siblings at different times. Since they were from a Kingdom, she is technically a princess (Princess of Plasma), making Zwelyx a prince (Prince of Plasma).
Almost everyone decended from that kingdom have minor electrokinesis, but when Lex was hit by lightning, it not only awakened her powers, but amplified them to an extreme level. Lex was supposed to have been k.illed by the lightning strike. And she was. But she was also kept alive by evectricity, using it to survive and needing it in order to keep living. However, because she's capable of storing so much of it (Say about enough to power a twelve story hotel for twenty four hours), its also her greatest weapon.

And thats Lex for ya. :3
