[Pulse]

Four wolves paws thudded the ground as they entered the Red Creek area. The trees above were thick with green, but small rays of the sun still streamed in. Darsk had ended up drifting to walked beside Kiana.

The small rushing creek could be herd now, and even soon coudl be seen. It's banks were pasted with red clay. He smiled, turning aroudn to face the three. "Welcome to Red Creek. Please enjoy your stay." He said this with a smile, and ended drifting beside Kiana again.

[Iniu]

Iniu looked around sniffing warily. She looked around and when she was done surveling the place she nodded. The forest around her was heavy with prey scent.

[Tibby]

The other female, Kiana looked around. The creek was magnificent and the ground soft. She lifted her law and howled the song to a new home. Where are the caves? she asked, curiously. She knew they would be well-hidden and she was happy for just that reason. A ground squirrel hobbled by and Kiana was quick to spot it. She lurched forward and watched the prey come limp in her jaws. Respectfully, she dropped it infromt of Darsk's jaws and smiled. Food! she said.

Slaton, the oldest male, hobbled behind them, taking in the sweet new scents. The air was fresh and un-touched by humans. He was much relieved to see the small ground squirrel pop by. Without a second to waist, Kiana had cought it and plopped it infront of their alpha Darsk. Slaton was soon joining in the howl, his octive low and Kiana's flute-like.

[Iniu]

Iniu threw back her head and joined in the howl. Her whimsical voice floated between Slaton's and Kiana's. Her eyes stared up at the sky and slowly closed.

[Pulse]

Darsk smiled to Kiana, and where she broke off into a howl, he nudged the gift back to Kiana, whispering. "You keep it, Kiana." He followed with his howl, ranging in all diffrent notes.

There four wolves stood, head pointed towardsd the skys, their mouths in perfect O's. What a lovely sight it was.

[Tibby]

Kiana smiled as she heard the others join in, all on different pitches and octives. The stars seemed to dance with there song and the moon glimmer with pleasure. It was a slightly humid night, as water vapor hung freshly in the air and dew drops sat on the brush around them.

Slaton silently broke away from the howl and sat down, watching the rest. His old paws needed a rest before he got up again like a puppy.

[Iniu]

Iniu slowly faded. Once she had caught her breath she picked up the howl again. Her cries seemed to reach the moon.

[Pulse]

Darsk allowed his voice to ring on for as long as possiable, but soo he broke off, giving a short lick to Kiana's cheek, then going to the Creek. He lay beside the creek, his back to his pack, gazing off quietly.

[Tibby]

Kiana nuzzled him in return and settled bside him.

[Pulse]

With the nuzzle, Darsk smiled, and looked above, seeing few holes where the darkening sky was. He looked to Kiana, and nipped her ear. "Come with me. I want to show you something." He whispered in her ear.

He glanced to Slaton, giving him a quick nod to stay, then he walked on, hoping Kiana was following.

[Tibby]

Kiana jumped to her paws, eyes wide. She followed Darsk as instructed. Where are we going...? she asked herself. She caught up with Darsk and checked her surroundings.

[Iniu]

Iniu broke off not long after she started again. She sat, eyes sparkling, gazing at the slow moving creek. The scent from her dream still haunted her. She watched Darsk and Kiana leave and couldn't help but smile.

[Pulse]

When nothing else was around, and himself adn Kiana were in a small clearing, he smiled. "Look..." He said, moving his paw to quietly pull back a think of bushes. Behind it was a large oak tree, and in the hundreds were fireflys, fluttering around. Many crawled on the branches, giving the tree a look liek it was lit up. He looked to Kiana, smiling.

[Tibby]

Kiana's heart lit up as she watched the glowing bugs perform a dance infront of them. "It's beautiful..." she whispered, holding her breath. She couldn't take her eyes off of them.

Slaton stood by Iniu, a smile splitting his maw. "Well, well, well. Maybe pups will be coming soon," he said, laughing.

[Pulse]

Darsk watched Kiana's eyes glow with the light of the fireflys. "Yes, M'Lady Kiana. You are." He whispered, but couldn't hold his tounge. "Would you be so kind, as to be come my Alphess and mate?" He asked, but knew it was probaly a mistake.

He shook his head angry with himself. "I'm ver ysorry, Kiiana. That was rude of me..."
