"Fading souls who've turned to ice, So ashen white in paradise."

[Yukito]

Talons touched lighted grass as he passed form forest to clearing mad dash ending orbs looking around absently. Ah the sounds of silence how pleasant they were to one such as he. Why had he done that it was so unlike him so why? That fae was complicating him it was all her fault he was so emotional. No that could not be right it was more then that the half-breed had upset him to but still his dream had really started him down this path. Mitts carried him to the water's edge and he lapped at it his run had made him thirsty so he drank listening to the birds chirp absently.

Drink over the empty feeling brute dunked his head in the water shaking it to get the blood off. Water flew as he pulled his head up with a gasp shaking it again before panting watching the water still. It was as dark and fathomless as he felt so he just stared at his dripping mask not sure if he was crying or if it was just water not that it mattered really. Drained the hellion fell to his side nares almost touching the water’s surface slow breath causing ripples to from as he closed his eyes not caring about ripples.

If his nares slide just an inch lower he would drown and he knew it but he remained as he was he had no energy to move. So far he was alone but he knew sooner or latter someone would come and ask him why's but for now there was only his voice to answer him. Tassel curled in close laying across his back legs front paws still bloodied fur moving as the wind blew otherwise only breathing moved the still from.

[Rhett]

The dream still plagued his mind to a certain degree, remembering the large rabbit and what it could possibly mean. Perhaps he would speak of it when he came across the Alpha pair, if or when that would ever come to pass. Rising to his mitts the wolf walked away from the water source. If he wandered he would come across someone soon, at least he hoped. Pace was slow and precise there was no reason to hurry. Ooculars narrowed slightly as he approached yet another source of water. One that seemed rather dark like an endless void or an abyss. Pausing briefly, the beast noticed the resting figure by the waters edge. Now another question came to his mind: Was it safe to approach? Some didn’t take kindly to being found by the waters edge, obviously something was wrong with him. Radars lowered and pushed back against his skull as the hellion did approach. Body on edge ready to either fight or run given the situation. Being a former Betan figure he honestly doubted he would run away from any wolf he came across.



Once more, he slid down near the waters edge and got himself another drink. The summer months always took some sort of toll on the pack members. At least the water was cool on his throat. Shoving his face into the water he felt it cool him down for the moment. Pulling away from the bank he then decided to approach the resting white male. His scent was one of a recent kill, some blood was still splashed upon his white fur as well. Nostrils flared dangerously but he made no other attempt to touch. Back legs pushed forward and he sat himself comfortably on the waters edge. Head tilted to the side and he decided to at least wake him up. He didn’t have the right to ask any questions but he was concerned enough to actually want to make sure this wolf was alright. Rhett’s chest rumbled softly as one mitt extended to bump against the male’s pallid back.


I don’t mean to intrude upon you. However you seem rather disgruntled.. Perhaps you should take a rest in the shade of a tree. The heat is not good for you.


His voice was calm and almost caring, the last thing he wanted was for someone to have a heat stroke. The weather was awful and laying in the sun could be considered as dangerous.

[Yukito]

A paw against his back captured his wandering attention and his head snaked to look at his rouser this strange brute was concerned for him. Normally he would laugh at that or blow him off but it had been so long since another worried for his health so he did not bark at this newcomer. The sun was still high in the sky and even pale wolves could feel it’s burn in time shade did sound pleasant. Nodding he slowly rose to his feet taking in a few mouthfuls of water before rinsing off his paws at the moment the scent of blood was not a comfort.


“Not many would approach a bloodied stranger as you did especially not one such as I so I thank you stranger.”


Soft accented voice was humble crown bowing in gratitude he felt strange but maybe it was no longer necessary to keep all wolves at bay. Maybe it was time to allow a select few to get close at least to some extent at any rate. This brute reminded him of Midori the kind elder fae who looked after the sick she to would approach anyone in the most unthreatening way and now she to was dead.


“I am fine really only dwelling on those who are gone. I am Yukito by the way do you belong to the pack who lives here?”


Graceful limbs carried the hellion to the shade and he sat down tassel curling around his paws head down still feeling very mentally drained. He was strangely disappointed Chu’Mana had not followed but not surprised why would she want to anyway? How much should he tell this stranger? A little at a time was probably best no need to bore each other with their life stories.


“I am not use to talking to other wolves it has been a long time since I’ve wanted to.”


Well that was a good start get that fact out there in the open it would help the other understand why he seemed so shy not looking at him. Chu’Mana had seen his playful teasing side this male was seeing what was left of Yuki he was surprised how much of him was left.

[Rhett]

I don't belong to this pack as of yet. The Alpha's have yet to find me here in these peaceful places. I'd rather have them find me then go looking and catch either in a bad mood.



Rhett exhaled softly and looked around the peaceful place, he wished not to upset this stranger. For arguements would not be needed right at this moment in time. He just wanted to get accepted when the time came and perhaps get a strong rank. Maybe Beta male? Like he had been in the previous clan, he shifted idly and looked off towards the water bank. His body stretched itself out for a moment. Muscles and bone clashed and he whined softly as his mouth came unhinged a large yawn expelling forth. Orbs narrowing before closing a moment later.



You seemed rather upset if you don't mind me prying in your personal life.



Some didn't like their secrets known and he was one of those that disliked the idea of others knowing information. How easily they could throw it back in anothers face. This one seemed like he needed someone to talk to however, a face that wouldn't judge him for previous actions. Clearing his throat, Rhett allowed himself to lower towards the earth. He was still tired and perhaps a little bit bored. At least now he had someone to converse with until the leaders arrived here. If and when that happened was one's guess.

[Yukito]

“Prying? I would hardly call what you have done prying trust me on this I do t=not suffer those who pry.”


Toes spread and clicked one by one on the strange grass no he did not suffer many wolves at all. Relaxing the hellion let out a wide yawn run, heat, and gore filled gut making him feel quite lazy. Ears rotated absently searching for any sounds beside birds and tinny claws scurrying around the underbrush but so far all was quite.


“To be honest stranger my story is not a happy one to tell I have no home to go back to but I guess all lone wolves have that common problem. Not too far from here there is the remains of a yearling cow my former companion and I hunted if you are hungry. So far other then Chu’Mana and a nameless pair you are the only other wolf I have seen.”


Dial turned the way he had come and he doubted Chu’Mana would follow which was for the best there would likely be a fight if they were to meet up again. Fae hated being yelled at then left all alone they were funny like that. Nares moved with a few quick sniffs it would likely be another few hours until the Alpha found them and by then he would have to decide what he would do by then. If there were more wolves like this stranger then perhaps he may just join if not he had gotten his meal and was getting his rest so he could move on.


“I’m not even sure why I’m even still here.”

[Rhett]

I have yet to find someone that has really had a good story to tell. That is what makes life so complicated and yet worth living. Your past may have been god awful but you have the chance to turn it around and make the rest of your life worth living. Hm, not that I preach at you. It’s just a bit of advice.



Rhett spoke quietly and stared out into the nearby water, his fur ruffling every so often when the breeze would come by and kiss him. Caress him and make him feel better about the world around him. His own past was not one he liked to speak of often. He made it seem like it was a happy one so others would not bother to pry deeper into his nightmares. Everyone had their fair share of grief and he would not judge someone on what has happened. Though, he had come across quite a number of wolves that have judged him for his life. Because he had trusted them enough to speak freely of what happened and then it all fell to dust. There was rarely anyone he trust but perhaps in time he would be able to speak to this one before him. As for the idea of food he shook his head and lowering himself into a resting position.



No. I don’t think it’s right to eat on another packs land. It’s a good way to make them upset and willing to attack. I do not know these Alpha’s and I don’t want to start out on a bad foot.



He stretched out on the ground, making sure his body was laying in the shade. Head rested itself comfortably on the ground eyes sliding closed as he snorted softly. Just content to rest near another and know that he wouldn’t be attacked or anything. Two heads were better the one.

[Yukito]

Yukito nodded he did have a chance but he did not really care what happened to him if the Alpha wanted blood for the kill he was free to try and take his. He was unsure if he even wanted to join a pack Chu’Mana would likely not be all that happy to see him and the duo he had no wish to see again the fae smelled too much of the hate man. Sighing looked around this place meant nothing to him it was just a place the other wolf he liked but would he be willing to join a pack just so he could talk to him again? It had been so long since he had a friend perhaps he could at least give it a try maybe this pack would leave him be.


“True, but when one does not value their own life they tend not to care about angering anyone. I am free to do as I wish as long as I am willing to suffer the consequences my actions will bring. Do you think anyone will come for us soon?”


Pale lids fell with another sigh he must be so depressing right now talking as he was how unlike him. Well it was better to at least try and make friends rather then pick fights with every wolf he met that really did become exhausting after a while. He felt he could talk to this brute and if he was the only friend he made well so be it if that was his fate. No wolf would be treated any differently then he would normally treat them he would not change so easily.

[Rhett]

Oh, I'm sure they'll come along sooner or later. I'm in no hurry to get accepted really. With every pack comes the Drama and that is what pisses me off. We're suppose to be a family a single unit of killers and protectors and yet all this dramatic shit starts and it pisses me off. Some say I'm a good Beta because I have patience but it only lasts to a certain point and then -WHAM-! it's gone. Maybe here it'll be different? Gods hoping...



His voice carried over the still area and the masculine force gave a weary glance around. It would be nice if he could catch some shut eye but the last thing he wanted was to have someone sneak up on him. For he became easily irritated and often flew off the handle for little reasons. That would in turn ruin his chance at becoming Beta again. So he would remain awake until he was truly given the chance to fall asleep. Yawning softly, he looked at his new companion and shrugged his shoulders in a helpless motion. For it seemed that they were more a like then different. Except Rhett would never speak of his past, he had it locked in stone. Buried deep in his soul and no amount of prying and tear jerking would let it free.



That was why some females would never consider dating him, he wasn't true to himself. For he was a cold male to calm for their liking and he often had a horrible temper to boot. So for them it was far less of a benefit.



Hm. I smell rain...

[Yukito]

“Beta eh? I could see it. Funny you aren’t in a hurry and I’m not sure I want to be accepted ah the ironic mess my life has become. My first pack had very little drama which may be why they had such a dramatic death? Blah what a human train of thought.”


The pale beast muttered he had become so much like what he hated but revenge did that to you. He had to admit he was both annoyed and insulted the two of them had been ignored so long then again it allowed him to form some sort of bound with another of his kind so he figured he should just let it go? That could wait until latter when they bothered to show up.


“I spend most of my time alone so drama no longer concerns me I just leave when other’s bore me which is often. You however do not bore me in the slightest a rare feat I assure you. Will you aim for Betaship in this pack as well? I would be nice to know there was one wolf in charge with a brain I could trust.”


He grinned but that had not been a joke he had meant it in time this one may even be allowed to call him Yuki without being struck. At the comment of rain he sighed rain was of no concern to him it was a hindrance nothing more. With an annoyed huff he stretched feeling lean muscle flex and he smiled feeling restless he did not stay long on pack lands and his mind knew that.


“Willing to tell me why you are no longer Beta somewhere?”

[Yahto]

Annoyance settled across his features as they walked along once more, this was so tiring. He felt his body beginning to shake from exhaustion. He hadn’t felt good since they had left the Shade. Obviously, it was playing a large role with how he acted. Optics narrowed after a moment as he smelled two more wolves both male. Moving along he came across a white brute and one of a myriad of color. Well this was interesting, perhaps they wouldn’t prolong this anymore. He cleared his throat and made sure they both saw that he was Alpha. Head raised and tail out behind him and curled up since well he was leader. Or one of them anyway. Ears pushed themselves forward in formal manner as he thought about what to say.




“Look I don’t want your life stories. As far as I’m concerned your both accepted as long as you decide to not turn against my brother or myself. If you do then hell will find a place for you. I do not except traitors or those who want to over throw my power. I’ve been down that road one to many times. So if we’re done here can we please leave? Go on back to the Holt where we can plan a hunt for tonight?”

[Yue]

Yue shook his once he had not been allowed to do what he considered his job but what done was done. These two males did not appear overly threatening in fact they looked almost bored the white a little sad maybe? Stepping forward he frowned at his brother before turning to address the two knew males.


“We are in a bit of a hurry forgive the rude welcome. As my brother said you need not talk simply follow once we are home I will speak with you so my brother can finalizing who is going and which of us they will be following.”


Turning he nodded to Karasu it was time to go. That arrangement would settle everything he could deal with rank wishes and who was who while his brother started plans. He sniffed the air that blew in from the mountains something smelled off but not in a threaten way perhaps so human animal had gotten free and wandered too far through the pass? At any rate they had to get back all they had done was accept today and it would feel good to see how they were all getting along.
