Since I love to write I decided to try and put my passion into a form that people would watch on YouTube. If you'd like to be a part of this please feel free to take a look.

What I need Voice actors obviously, probably some composers if you'd like to help. Every little bit counts and I'm not expecting top tier quality. The project will be a very large one that will require a lot of time. However everyone is excited so far and I can't wait to get this thing rolling!

Plot Summary
In the world before the wolves, humanity and the Great Calamity reigned. At first, the Great Calamity was a creature of pure and good intent who vowed to protect her human race and the land that they lived on. But eventually she could no longer hear the voice of her mother, Gaia, who was the very land her people walked on, and the land that had created her and her brother. She became cruel and lusted for only power, giving her human race far too much and leaving little behind.
Blinded by her need to be treated like a goddess, she drove wars and famine across the land, destroying all that lay beneath and expecting to be treated like she was more powerful than any other being. Seeing nothing wrong with her own actions, she even invited her brother, The Ancient One, to share in the glory. Greatly disturbed but too blinded by his love for her to see what she was becoming, he allowed her madness to continue for untold ages.
Until Gaia called out to him, begging him to save her. The Ancient One could watch the destruction no longer, and attacked his sister, casting her into the depths of the sea where he sealed her. Enraged, she tore away one of his wings, and thrashed against the confines of her prison, making the waters of the ocean constantly whip around as if in a storm. Then The Ancient One cleansed the blight of humanity from the face of the planet, leaving only desolation and ruin in his wake.
When his mother had healed, he finally created the wolves. He created Angels to rule the untamed wilds, the Demons to rule the seas and the inhospitable reaches of the world, and the Normal Wolves to tend the tamer fields and keep the balance of the land. However as time continued, the Great Calamity began to whisper within her prison, using her power known as shade seeing to see which wolves she could bend to her will and turn against her brother. Using the ability to see the colors of hearts, she found the wolves she used to create a terrible and bloody war between Angels and Demons. This war effected not only the Angels and Demons, but waged across the land as well and caused misery through the land of Normal Wolves as well.
The war would rage for years, forcing a rift so deep and wide that eventually no one knew what had caused it or why it was fought. Demons and Angels, desperate to end the bloodshed, would mate with Normal Wolves, often in the hopes of bridging these gaps. But every time the war would cease for a while, the whispers would begin again and the war would flame up once more. The Ancient One, fearing to interfere as his sister had and become what she had, allowed the war to boil on. Soon however he realized what was really causing the rift.
Afraid to open the prison and confront his sister, knowing the power she had been amassing and unable to face her again, he decides instead to send proxies to the earth. Waiting and planning, he finally finds two wolves that he can use to end the war. He works through their whole lives to guide a demon with fur like a shadow, and an Angel with a pelt like newly fallen snow into their greater destinies. Continuing to guide them, he helps them indirectly throughout their lives and those of all the wolves around them to begin easing the tensions in hopes of stopping the war.
The road to redemtion is long, and creatures with free will don't always want to do things according to plan. Betrayal, Friendship, Rivalry, Hatred, Love; they all play a part in the world that the wolves inhabit. And for those that bear the mark of "chosen", these things are often far worse. Families turn against each other, lives and beliefs are put on the line, and all the while the two gods continue to play their game of cat and mouse. The two opposing sides, ever present, are now making their move.
However, as things quickly deviate from the plan, The Ancient One has no choice to raise and army to face his sister and hers.
