    Opening Sequence - Partly rewritten 

    I started rewriting the third section of the opening sequence to make it better. Here's what I've got so far:




    This night, exactly nineteen years to the hour after the eclipse that Annette had been born under, another eclipse began. Which wasn't too strange since Lunar eclipses occur every six months around the world. At first no one paid it much mind, for there was too much else going on. Arthur took his wife's hand and tried everything he could think of to help her through the pain. Doomwise pondered through her vision, trying to find some significance beyond just a vision of coming death and destruction. However, as the pack reached the lake to begin their hunt in earnest and Belle's contractions escalated, this December 30th eclipse turned as peculiarly dark and red as its "twin" nineteen years before.

    Just as the Moon was emerging from totality, Belle gave birth. It was immediately obvious to Arthur the blood of werewolves ran strong through the new baby girl. The happy new parents named her Rosemary, meaning "Bane of Evil." Everyone present rejoiced, and announcements to family and friends were made.

    By noon that day rumors were circulating in the Uratha world. The coincidence of Annette's death followed by Rosemary's birth, the timing and appearance of the eclipses during their births, and Rosemary being Wolf-blooded, none of it was lost on the werewolves. Quite a bit of attention was turned the baby's way during the next few days, everyone hopeful she may have been sent to pick up the mantle of Annette. Soon the closest seer was sent for to confirm or deny the hopes. After spending many minutes with the baby, the seer indeed proclaimed Rosemary would be the salvation of the lodge.

    Eventually the news reached Doomwise's ears. To her there was another layer of coincidence, considering that same night had been the one of her most recent vision. She felt there was a connection, and had a need to know what it was. So she put aside her day to day responsibilities for a while to make the trip to visit the new baby.

    Because of how long it took word to reach her, by the time she arrived Rosemary was several days old.
