Safe

[Ryden]

don't post until River does... ...safe in my arms... It had been a very long week. A very long week indeed. It had started with the rescue of his sister, River, at the human facility; then discovered that the men had tinkered with his beloved sister's brain, making her very unstable and often muttering things that didn't make sense. What annoyed Ryden even more was that River wouldn't speak about what happened to her at the lab; she was too traumatized and that information she was probably trying to bury deep beneath layers of psychosis. Ryden sighed as he watched his young sister trot ahead of him. He wished she had a normal life at her age, of hunting, playing, and learning. Instead she was captured and brought to a lab where she was shot up with drugs and expirements had been performed. Ryden nose gnarled at the obscene thought. As Ryden watched his sister prance like a happy wolf ahead, he let go from those thoughts and ideas. They were safe now. Far away from man's reach. Now Ry and his sister were off to find a pack. Ryden hoped River would behave well in a pack -- she had never been in one for very long, and especially after what had just happened. Ryden, of course, already had a plan. He would hide his sister for awhile and then when the pack knew him well he would bring her to them. Yes. Ryden didn't know how easy it would be sneaking off to see River during the first few weeks, but he would find a way. Since River's escape Ryden was paranoid about checking her vitals every few hours. Soon the two reached a border of a pack. "River...we've reached the border." he told her. He motioned his sister to come over to him. He was standing next to an old coyote den. "River... You'll stay here for awhile. Don't worry, I'll be coming to check on you. You just need to stay hidden for awhile." he explained. Ryden didn't know how much persuading he had to do. ...you're only sleeping... Pack None | Rank None | Mate None | Sister River

...i still remember the world... River first post! yay. let Ryden reply after her, please ...through the eyes of a child... River was in a good mood. She walked through the area, tongue lolling out of her mouth. This was the happiest she had been in months - though she didn't think about it. All that was in the front of her mind right now was paradise in the sunshine. River liked sunshine. It was one of her favorite things. River looked at the streams of gold coming down through the branches of the forest canopy. She thought they were pretty. River sometimes wondered why they were gold and not red. She had decided they were gold because they represented warmth and nobility, and the red rays would come down and burn everyone to their death. Red rays were evil. If red rays ever came, River would hide. But luckily, the red rays only existed in River's mind. Soon River came to a scent. She snuffed her nose in the ground and identified it as a border. About ten seconds later Ryden figured it out. Sometimes her brother could be dumb. She had found the borderlines first. Ha. Young River indulged herself in the scent. Images flashed through her mind and she knew things that logically she couldn't really know. "Deadly Glare. Smells like coconut." River giggled. The Deadly Glare wolves were hard and tough on the outside but within their group they were soft. Like a coconut. She turned to her brother as he motioned her to an old coyote den. He addressed her to stay inside. For awhile. River absolutely rejected this. Her cheery attitude had transformed into a desperate one. "No, Ryden ... I'm not going in there. I can't." she looked around nervously. "Are they still chasing us Ryden?" ...oh i want to go back... Pack None | Rank None | Mate None | Brother Ryden

[Ryden]

don't post until River does...again ...safe in my arms... Ryden was wondering what 'Deadly Glare, smells like coconut' meant. What was a coconut? He decided to ignore her. River had rambled many times like this on thier journey, meaningless things. Ryden felt an inner anger. The humans had truly altered her. As soon as Ryden's sister came over, Ry could tell by the expression on her face that she definately didn't want to go in the hole. Then she said she couldn't. After that she questioned if 'they', presumably the humans were chasing them. Ryden nuzzled his sister. "No, River. They're gone now ... we're safe. They won't find us here." he reassured her. He turned back to the denning dilemma. "Please, River, just stay in the den ... you'll be safe. I just need you to stay hidden for now." he explained. ...you're only sleeping...

[River]

...i still remember the world... let Ryden reply after her, please ...through the eyes of a child... River sat down on her butt in a big pile of leaves. She didn't want to go in the hole, simple as that. She smirked. Maybe her brother would understand that soon enough. Then Ryden answered her question -- they wern't following them anymore. She felt comforted at the nuzzle of her brother, and considered the den again. Ryden explained once again that she had to go in the den for now. River wondered if Ryden ever understood her point. Still staring at the depression in the earth, she asked, "Will you come back? I don't -" she hesitated. "I don't want you to leave me. Please don't go." she whimpered. ...oh i want to go back...

[Ryden]

don't post until River does...again ...safe in my arms... Ryden was growing impatient with his little sister. He tried to have all the patience he could, knowing what she had just been through. But he needed to get into a pack. It was too dangerous without one. And for now it was imperative that River would stay in the abandoned den. Ryden didn't want to risk not getting accepted into a pack because of River's unpredictable behaviour. He hoped in a few weeks she would improve. But for now, that wasn't happening. For a moment, River appeared to consider the den. Then she asked in a desperate voice if Ryden would come back. He licked his sister's nose and placed his head next to her's. "Of course I'll come back. I'm not going to leave you. Now, If I come back, will you stay in the den?" He backed away and waited for an answer from his sister. ...you're only sleeping...

[River]

...i still remember the world... let Ryden reply after her, please, short post ...through the eyes of a child... River smiled as Ryden touched her cheek again and gave her an affectionate lick on the muzzle. Ryden promised he would come back. River backed away from his embrace. She looked at him, tilting her head. She knew she was telling the truth. Then she answered the den question. "Yes, Ryden, I'll stay in the den..." her voice trailed off. The young wolf bantered down into the den where she lay down curled in a ball and went to sleep. ...oh i want to go back... Pack None | Rank None | Mate None | Brother Ryden

[Ryden]

don't post until River does...again ...safe in my arms... Ryden got nervous as his sister backed away from his embrace. He was worried she might dart or flee. But instead she politely told Ryden she would stay in the den. His sister walked in, and amazingly just plopped down into a snowy ball and fell asleep. She deserves some rest, thought Ryden. Ryden had hidden River upwind; he now had to travel downwind so the pack could find him. He hoped they were a friendly pack. He had encountered several savage packs in his life in Osiris and never wanted to run into one of them again. A pack near Osiris was occupied by canibbalistic savage wolves, which everyone feared. Soon, after about half an hour, Ryden determined he was downwind of the pack. Sighing, he sat down. He wondered how his sister was doing. Enjoying the scenery, he awaited the pack to arrive. ...you're only sleeping... Pack None | Rank None | Mate None | Sister River

[Inara]

...i don't want pity... Flame can post after this ...i just want what is mine... Inara briskly trotted through the wood, fur gracefully flowing in the light breeze she created as she ran. She had scented a single male downwind; hoping he was friendly, she continued in that direction. She had taken a long journey now, and Inara was desperately tired of being alone. She hated being alone. But she also hated being with males alone. So hopefully meeting this one would go smoothly. Inara took in the scenery as she drifted through the wood like a leaf on the wind. Inara loved nature, from laying by pools of water to running in the fields. It was one of her favorite things, she took much joy in it. Luckily, this region was full of fertile nature. Soon she saw the male ahead -- he was smaller than her, and younger. He looked reletively relaxed, and not wanting to startle him, Inara approached from the right side. Soon a question swam out of her mouth. "Hello... are these your packlands?" ...would you cry a little for me... Pack None | Rank None | Mate None

[Flame]

I may have played a long time...

...

... but I'm not out of the game!

Spying two wolves, a male and a female, Flame walked slowly towards them, head and tail held high in a dominant posture... "Ho there, young! Who are you? Why are you on my land?" she asked in a firm tone, yet not threatening... She meant no harm to them unless they proved worthy of requiring discipline.

The female seemed slightly worried so Flame inquired if she was all well... "Miss... Do you need help?" The male seemed fine and that he had a definite purpose for coming onto her border... At least he was quiet about it... I don't like having to strain my dwindling hearing... My nose is strong enough to make up for it, I suppose.

With a friendly smile, Flame sat down across from the two. "Don't be shy... I won't hurt you. The Glarian lands are safe for most wolves, depending on the alliances... But I won't get into that..."

[Akutan]

Aku follow Flamish... Akutan saw through the darkness two wolves ahead, a male and a female. The male was his colour, and the female was of the purest white hues; he had never seen such an elegant wolf before. He watched as Flame took on an assertive pose and greeted them. Akutan stood a few feet behind her. Flame then adressed the female -- she did look a little worried. Flame sat down with a friendly smile. Aku put on a smile as well and lay down behind her. --- --- Pack Deadly Glare | Rank Hunter | Mate None | Sister Kelai | Trusted Kelai

don't post until River does...again ...safe in my arms... Ryden turned his head as he saw a very elegant, beautiful arctic wolf approach him from the side. He thought it was the alphess at first, but her face was painted with incertainty. He then understood; she was like him, looking for a pack, asking if these were his lands. "No...Not my lands." Ryden smiled. Then, out of no where, came two identical obsidan wolves; one was older but also more seasoned than the younger one. Ryden noted the older was most likely the alphess; she assumed an assertive stance while the other black wolf lay down watching a few feet away. The black wolf then explained 'Glarian' lands were safe for most wolves. She seemed friendly and strong. Ryden decided to speak first. "Ryden Tam" he spoke with a respectful bow. "I hope to join your pack. I offer many talents -- I was a Theta -- a doctor in my home pack." he explained. He hoped they wouldn't ask any questions about the other female wolf scent he wore. Maybe they thought it was the white wolf's. Yet Ryden wa a little nervous -- he didn't want them to know about River -- yet. ...you're only sleeping...

[Inara]

...i don't want pity... Flame you post after this. never mind the river thing on ryden's ...i just want what is mine... Inara listened as the young black wolf told her these weren't his lands. Inara sighed and sat down. He was looking for a pack to reside in too. "I'm looking for a home as well." Inara commented. "Such a beautiful place, this land." The serenity was inturrupted by two ebony wolven -- a male and a female who came towards them. Inara immediately could tell that the fem was the alphess and the male was of a lower rank. They greeting herself and the other wolf. Noting Inara's uncertainty, the black wolf asked if Inara was alright. "Yes, I am fine" Inara said with a nod and a bow. The wolf Inara came to know as Ryden introduced himself first; he was a healer, quite an honourable position. Inara wondered why he left such a good life. I guess we're all running from something, Inara thought. Inara approached the black femme after Ryden. She bowed once again. "Inara Serra." she paused. "I too hope to join. I was a Camma back in my home pack; I am trained extensively in fighting, courtesanship and pleasure." she explained. She hoped she wouldn't have to get into the 'pleasure' part. ...would you cry a little for me... Pack None | Rank None | Mate None

[You make me swear....] Meepness dudes...Flame, i can't get my code for my Rrek table, it's stuck in the locked posts. >.< [Beating myself back against the wall.......] Tear came in a few seconds late after catching up-and oh, the oddities of this sight! two black males, two white femmes, and one black femme. Almost a reflecting image! She then saw theother white fae. now it's even... she thought humourously. Her white pelt contrasted her blue eyes a lot today, as she stared at these new wolves, soaking in faetures with tehcniques she was trying to develope. After all, an Alphen Heiress needed to eb taught correctly if she were to rule well. She looked at these new wolves. The n to the dark one, well, one of the dark ones. So he was a medicine wolf. In her opinion, useful. She knew Flame would think the same. And the others...They seemed not so bad, and obviously not heard of Jolt or Luna....She decided to speak up. Or not. She didn't want to seem stuck up-which she was not in the least. Instead, she stood beside the two sitting wolves, a look of calm being used to calm the other white female. One of the white females. She would no doubtedly get confused-so many white and black wolves here! She suddenly felt plain....Like one of the rest. It wasodd for her to see this many other whitye wovles, being one of the only in a family of dark wolves save her sister grey. She foudn it odd that such colors would become so numerous. Ah, well, things change, no? Hope burns once more.

[Inara]

uhh... River isn't here

[Rrek]

[urghles, i gots confused already. Say she was thinking of your wolf, since this place doesn't let me edit. >.<]
