Paws of Valor - Battle for Barkadia

1. The Eclipse Howl

7 min. 24 sec.

As the rare celestial event known as the Eclipse Howl descends upon Barkadia, dogs across the kingdom gather in celebration — a sacred tradition meant to honor instinct and unity. But beneath the eerie red glow of the eclipsed sun, darkness stirs. Without warning, the silent legions of Meowgarath strike. Cloaked assassins emerge from shadows, rooftops, and trees, launching a coordinated attack on the canine capital, Canipolis. Explosions of silence tear through the city. Leaders vanish. Memories are stolen. Panic spreads. In the chaos, a young scout named Kota (a swift-footed Shiba Inu) narrowly escapes a collapsing tower and begins to realize this was no random assault — it was planned for centuries. Meanwhile, far to the east, Queen Nyxwhisper watches in silence, her plan unfolding like a purr in the dark. The episode ends with a fractured Barkadia, a burning skyline, and a single message echoing across every hill and hollow: Unite… or fall.
