Enter The Shadows

[Fallentwilight]

The brute steps moved almost dashing through the wilds that seem to be covered with the thick heart of forest. Adonis slowed his movements causeing his limbs of all four to stop and balance each other on the soft ground below. The sound of birds and even a few crows called to each other off in the distance of the evergreen wilderness. The cool air danced from his muzzle and then turned to steam rideing the air currents . A light sigh escaped his muzzle then with a quick movement he snaped all the blades within his muzzle back into place. The afternoon sunlight danced through the winds that made their way through the trees that were lighted in emeralds of green shades. The young brute needed to refill and restore his spirit. All these images were comeing into place almost mocking what little he knew about himself. The brute was not sure to if or not he had come into someone else's land. The fact never even came into his mind.

Adonis made his way to were the sound of running water was comeing from it was like a welcomeing of a warm light to an impure soul of shadows. Adonis moved his way through the forest avoiding all objects that seem to get in the way of the brute. Each action of his bodies movement made his speed almost seem to fast to the normal eye when in fact all Adonis was doing was simple dash to cross the area. When his form reached the water of the river the sunlight was over hanging the creek. Silver rocks shot up from the ground and the water rushed down stream at a fast movement.

Adonis placed his muzzle to the water and let the cool drink refill his core. Adonis felt like an outsider to a new world. Adonis let the throught form into his mind and then slip away into the feeling of the unknown . "These images what the heck is wrong with me....I'm loseing it !" Adonis then removed his from from the river and placed his body against the solf kiss of an Oak Tree. The shade of green over hanged his form casting a shadow over the blue river.

[Vevilla]

Vevilla was padding down her paths, when she saw a figure running through the trees on the safe lands. She growled not recognizing the figure. Vevilla howled loudly as she bolted off to the safe lands. She didn’t know who or what it was. Rabid or not. She growled deeply as she continued her way down there. The safe lands were then under her pads as she continued to run.

She halted before the spring. She crouched down, her jaw open as she was ready to attack if need be. She watched the wolf, her optics were burning with curiosity. She growled accidently. She then stood to her pillars and raised her head high.

“Who are you?”

[Fallentwilight]

The brutes lobes picked up the sound of someone or something that was standing in the darkness of the forest. The words that followed to his lobes were that of an unwelcomed one. Adonis let a sigh escape his muzzle and then turned to face the one who had called him out . Adonis had no fear of other alpha's nor would he let his stance leave but instead it took a more battle like stance untill his orbs picked up that it was indeed another wolf. Adonis let his limbs jump back into place and then glared at the female for a second soon letting the air escape his muzzle only to change into a fine mist. The brutes White and Shadow pelt danced lightly on the northern wind as he tryed to bring words into place but then let them escape once more to form.

"You've called me out fae ....Who am I ?" The question striked at Adonis only leaveing him with one throught that he could say. "Fellow fae my name is Adonis and I bring no harm you need not seem so aggresive at this moment in time." Adonis spoke in a deep serious but calm voice that would have almost made others sense a dark tone to it. Adonis took is normal stance as he moved slowly to the female but kept a few inches away for the morals of his own life. The wind kept going off to the northeast and the sunlight danced through the trees lighting the grouind below the two wolves just enough to make out each other's forms. Adonis moved to the side of a tree and then sat down and rest with the greatest of ease.

"Well who are you ?" The brute said this is a calmer tone then his first . The form of the brute was in a relaxed laided back pose and the scent of this fae was being taken in my his nose. His apex shook as his cracked his neck to stop the anoying pain from a tree branch that hit him hard durning his travels.

[Vevilla]

Vevilla growled a little more. That was until the brute spoke. His words were of calmness but also held the serious that she needed to hear. Her hackles were still raised high as she padded closer to the spring. Her orbs looked at him for a second as she slipped her muzzle to the water to take a long lap at the water. As she picked her axel out of the water, her plume flickered unhappily.

“I am Vevilla…Alphen of the Okand Fasa pack, in other words the Mountain Scavengers. Pleasure to meet you.” She said, her tone calming now. She took on a more ‘relaxed’ stance as she stood next to he spring. Her strange orbs scanned the surrounding area as her lips curled down into a frown. He smelled different to her…like he wasn’t from around here. “If I may ask…where are you from?” she whispered lightly.

Her auds twitched along with her plume. The sway was picked up by the wind and she looked at the brute for a second. Vevilla wasn’t sure if he was the trustful type yet…but she hoped he was. She was letting her guard slip a little as she sat down , her plume thumping on the plush terra.

[Fallentwilight]

" Vevilla...you want to here the truth but the fact is that I can't say for it would sound foolish or even..." Adonis made sure to calm himself before speaking again. His guard was still up and he made sure that it would be kept up at all times. Adonis placed all four limbs close to the ground as a throught and image of others laying dead on the ground came into his head. "The things...that I've..done even if their true or not means little or nothing now." Adonis voice grew just a little lounder giveing the effect that their was no way that he wanted to even talk about the past. "All you need to know is that ......I...can't remember a single thing of my past" Adonis sighed letting out the remaining hate and loathing feeling that he had kept down with in his body. Adonis walked back over to the river and then took a drink trying to do anything to shake off the ideas. Adonis removed his muzzle from the water and turned his yellow wheat colored orbs to that of Vevilla "So what or why did you even come out here ?" Adonis felt the need ask questions perhaps the answers that he was seeking would come into place.

Adonis remembered only a few things the rest of everything else was a huge lose in his mind. The brute walked from side to side then stopped the strange movements and snaped back to normal . The birds scattered into the trees and everything was peaceful once again or it least for now. "You see...I haven't a clue to were I'm at all ?" Adonis rasied his apex to the air and took in the scent of the forest. The wind danced in his lobes and then returned back to the earth. Adonis then turned back to the fae known as Vevilla. What was happening to Adonis something gave him a feeling that his jounery had only just began. His form watched through the trees as he look at the land off in the distance but still the pull to the land was strong. Adonis's orbs reached out to the forest off in the remaining glare of fearsome sunlight . Their were a few other wolves who were also makeing their way through the thick forest. "You most know by now that I'm not from your these lands...I've traveled far. I traveled through the land that lay within a deep forest of shadows...!"

Adonis sat down under a tree then looked back up at Vevilla. Her voice was that of kindness witch Adonis had not been use to. Those who often showed such a thing were not to be trusted but then their was a diffrent feeling that returned from her to him. She just seemed diffrent and words could not explain such a thing.

[Vevilla]

Vevilla didn’t move from her spot as the traveler spoke. The sunlight still danced around the two wolves as he continued speaking. Vevilla took sudden interest in the words that he spoke. She had heard of others with this same problem. She thought back to what the cause might be, but continued to listen. He seemed slightly angry…like he wanted to know everything that had happened to him. She sighed lightly, her jaws unhooking and stretching slightly before she voiced her opinion. She stood to her pillars, her optics looking at the sky.

“From what I can tell…you must’ve seen something horrible…or that you were attacked by something or someone.” She started, her optics still directed on the sky that lay above her and Adonis. She sighed lightly then continued. “For the question why am I here…the answer is simple. The safe lands must be kept safe…you I didn’t know I came to make sure you weren’t a rabid or “unsafe” wolf. But it is clear you aren’t rabid….” She circled are a rock and then jumped up on it. Her form sat down, overlooking the spring now. Her optics glowed lightly, a pale lilac color beaming out thanks to the sparkling sunlight.

Her pelt swayed lightly as the wind picked up, swirling dead leaves that lay between the two. She looked back up at the sky, a longing for something more to happen. She knew her pack was alright since they all went on a hunting trip except for the ‘babysitter’ and then the younger pups. The pups that were around 5 months would be learning to hunt like Vevilla had. She sighed, her form lowering even more.

“Do you need somewhere…to stay? The forest wolves would love to take you in…or the Arctic….actually we all might.” She laughed lightly. She was happy to see that there was a new one on the lands…it didn’t happen to often. She opened her mouth, a long yawn escaping her throat. “So…what do you want to do?”

[Fallentwilight]

Adonis apex turned to the sky. The clouds of the afternoon were claming but soon to be fogotten. Adonis removed his orbs from the heavens and turned towards that of Vevilla. Adonis let a small smile escape with a rested sigh. "I've asked my myself those questions over and over again." "Yes from what I can remember ..their are things that I've done...but in this new land their is hope to start things over again." Adonis let orbs rest on the fae and then spoke once more with a clear voice on his own ideas. "Well considering their are many packs about in these lands the forest sounds more like home to me then that of the snowly north." Adonis moved about silenceing the rest of the words that came from the rest of his muzzle. The things that were all comeing together made him want to reach up steal the warmth that was being shown for his honest answers. The call of the birds and the light of the afternoon sun gave the land around them a peaceful feeling . The safe lands she had said it was not a wonderful place but it did offer some peace for a small moment in time.

"Perhaps I'll find the answers that I'm seeking within the Forest pack." Adonis's form shifted to the the lands that were covered in trees. The land spoke out to him as if it was the right thing to do. Their were little or no wolves in thoise lands but maybe if Adonis traveled to see those lands then the answers would from into place. With what he did know about his own memory was enough to make even the most darkest ceature come out and try to redeem it's self. The kindness of this alpha fae was a welcomed answered. "You know these forest fighters you speak of sound like a pack in need of a leader perhaps that is the right way to head then." Adonis once again looked at the forest and then turned to here a few sounds comeing from the under brush.

The sound caused Adonis to look and then charge at the brush causeing a fox to jump out of the darkness . The fox dashed away as Adonis laughed somewhat at the foolish ceature. "All that noise over a littte fox oh well." Adonis then grew silent and then spoke once more to clear things. "Tell me then..what is your pack like from what I can remember of mine was that they killed...just for slaughtering."

[Vevilla]

Vevilla laughed lightly as she slid down, her form resting gently against the warm rock that she lay upon. “Yes…not many enjoy the Arctic and Mountain lands.” She simply stated as she rested her apex on her black paws. A small shiver ran down her spine, which was normal when she was around other wolves…it kept her mind sharp. As he continued talking about the forest fighters, she nodded her axel gently. He wasn’t stupid, she could tell already.

“Yes indeed does the forest need a leader…there are wolves there but they aren’t organized like the Arctic and Mountain packs… but hopefully that could change seeing you take interest on the subject.” She smiled lightly, her optics closing lightly. A song of a distant Mountain wolf rang from the cliffs, calling for their Alphen to return. She sighed, then rose slightly. She threw back her axel, opened her mouth and let out a smooth almost melody of a howl. The song rose for a while, then silence as another wolf, Azra answered. Now she knew she could stay here and talk.

“Hmm…my pack. The Mountain Scavengers….we are a smaller bunch right now. My beta, Azra, keeps things in line while I am astray. My pack though…they didn’t want me at first…since I was only six months when I took the title. But now…they all follow me, and my example I set. My pack teaches our young to hunt before the other packs…all luck thanks on my part. Now we haven’t run out of food in a long time…” she paused and laughed. “Why by the time I pass along, to join my mother and father, I hope that I am one of the better Alphen…its what I always want. But who knows…if you become Alpha I might have some competition!” She laughed again, resting down on the rock once more.

[Fallentwilight]

The brute could not help but laugh while in the presence of Vevilla. Adonis was starting to feel more at ease around this fae. Adonis was normaly not rude but to those who showed little or no respect often in return were showed unkindness by Adonis. As she mention the information on her back it all seem to bring back a few old memories of his former back. The sunlight of the afternoon sun reached through the trees descending and lighting the entire area. The sound of the water rang over the laughter that had been shared by the two of them. "Your pack is well organized then I can't think what it would be like to run a clan at such a young age. For myself at the age of 1 ...I was given the task to work as a beta and scout for the outsider clan." Adonis blinked for a moment and the relized that he had just remembered some of his past. "Well it seems by talking to you that I've just remembered something how old." Adonis smiled lightly and then returned to their former coverstaion. "It most have felt odd to be an alpha but then again I'm not sure but their are those who have said that I share the marking for the makeing of an alpha." Adonis soon let another loose sigh escape but it was a sigh of peace. The leafs that were on the ground picked up and danced lightly inside the vortex of wind. The Shadow and White in his fur picked up on the incomeing wind the cool fall temperatures made the air crisp and fresh.

Once the sound of Vevilla's pack rang through the air Adonis listen and his voice faded away into silence of an old kind. When the song died off Adonis picked his form off the ground and then moved over to a silver rock raiseing out of the ground between the shallow water and the edge of the river bank. The forest and the hills over looked the following sroundings . Adonis let lose a howl that came deep within in him. Next to haveing only a few memories this howl was still clear in his mind. Adonis shut his orbs and then let the song dance up into the sky of the afternoon. The notes hit a mix of high and low notes,these notes seem to sound like the soothing sound of wind. The sound carryed far but to Adonis's what happened next. The same song came back in return to the brute . The very same call came from within the deep belly of the forest. The song was the same as his own.

The area filled with the song and then died down into silence. A tear fell from Adonis because for the first time in his travels it seemed that their were others of knew his old clan's song. A song that was learned before the time of the outsiders back when the Silver Fang clan of odd used to find each other. The mystic song danced in both lobes and then Adonis spoke out. "You think that I'm competition then when that time come we shall see !" Adonis smiled again and then relaxed thinking about the new objectives rather then old ones.

[Vevilla]

“Well I’m happy to help you remember the past…your past is always important no matter what.” She then waited, silence overfilling them both. She watched him cross over towards the rock that he had jumped upon. Her orbs glowed lightly, the sun still making them beam gently. Her mind cleared as his howl bellowed out from his throat. She watched, slightly absorbed by it. Her axel shook then, causing the hypnotics to disappear. She stood to her pillars and jumped off the large white rock that she had laid upon. She padded swiftly over to him, as leaves circled around her. She had a small almost unseen smile apon her features. “I see the forest does call to you…I think you must be having better luck now.” She nodded her axel once, ever so slightly.

Her plume swayed gently behind her as she continued towards him. She looked at him, her orbs filled with sudden friendliness. “Adonis…I think you should go claim the land. Take it and lead them into a great pack. You heard the howls…its calling you like Forest was called to his godliness. You represent what they need…a new face…” Her words would seem to echo in the area around her. Her words weren’t false…her words were filled with truth and admiration. She stopped right in front of him, and then bowed her figure gently. “It would be an honor for the others to have you join the council.”

[Amethyst]

The sound of paws shifting on the earth filled the air in a sudden out burst. Panting floated out not to far behind it. Something was heading their way. The thumps from the paws grew faster and louder. Birds rang out in a cry, flying out of the trees. A whoosh echoed and the scraping of talons on bark came about. The object was getting closer. Then the sound stopped and quietness covered the area in an invisible fog. What ever it was, was now there.

It started again but only for a few seconds before. Pop! Through the trees jumped the white canvas of Amethyst. Her form rushed to Vevilla and before taking a second to look at her, leaped onto her back pulling her sister’s form to the ground. The force shot her across the terra as her body rolled over and her talons scraped the dirt beneath her. Her limbs brought her up into her fight stance as her orbs gazed at Vevilla. Anger had engulfed her.

Her front limbs spread apart bringing her chest closer to the ground. The anger within her grew as she looked at her sister. White paws shifted across the terrain causing her to circle her sister’s form. A loud growl bellowed from her chest and escaped from her kissers. Kissers curled back to expose the white teeth that rested inside of the mouth. She snarled and her tassel sprang up into the air. “Vevilla.” Her voice was quiet and harsh. Birds sounded off in the background once more as her Crystal blue orbs looked to her sister.

[Vevilla]

Vevilla was shaken by the sudden interruption that her sister just caused. She yelped as the white form pulled her down to the hard cold terra then her form pulled into a ball, which went rolling towards a rock. Her head clanked against the large white rock she had been on before, which caused her form to wobble back up upon her pillars. She shock her axel and growled at her sister. She crouched down, wondering what in the lords name was going on.

The black form started to circle as well. She growled back harshly and snarled lightly. This was insane. Had her sister caught rabies or some sort of virus? As Vevilla pondered the idea, she came to the thought that rabid wolves tended not to be so…formed and posed as her sister was right now. No she didn’t have rabies. Had someone in her pack attacked her own pack. Oh no…she hoped she was overly thinking now. She snapped lightly then, her movement over jumping to the other side of the spring.

She watched from a farther rock, feeling slightly better at the distance, knowing that both her and her sister were skilled fighters but both on different levels. “Amethyst! What in bloody hell’s name are you doing! You are being…” she paused not wanting to make the situation worse then it might already be. “What is it that you are ‘attacking me’ for now?” she chimed lightly, her claws digging against the rock that she stood upon. Her orbs gazed at the white form, her plume dancing heavily behind her. She hoped…nothing was wrong.

[Amethyst]

Her orbs shifted along with her sister’s form, watching eat step closely. Amethyst’s harks rose to a 45 degree angle along her spine. Paws of white sunk deep into the snowy ground as her expression sharpened. Hatred orbs is all she wore. Her kissers curled back further as her orbs shot over to Adonis. The snow that surrounded him may have just saved his life. She moved over closer to her sister as if she was looking for the best place to strike. Blue skies seemed to blacken like the earth below them revolved around her and her sister. Tensions were growing in the area and Amethyst found joy from it.

Snow pilled up behind her form as she looked to Vevilla. It looked as if something had snapped in Amethyst’s brain as her skull twitched a bit. Then her paws dug deep into the ground and she bolted for her sister. The snow her paws lifted floated back down to the land to settle in a new place. It was a short distance to run so it looked like an attack.

Amethyst didn’t answer her sister’s questions she just went straight for her. The skull of the wolf moved to the side like she was going to bite Vevilla’s neck but at the last moment she stopped dead in her tracks. She stopped right as her nose touched her sisters. “Got ya.” Her paw moved up into the air and tapped her sister’s shoulder. “and guess what. YOU’RE IT!” Amethyst let out a laugh as she ran over by Adonis.

[Vevilla]

Vevilla let out a small growl when her sister was bolting towards her. Her hackles had risen then, as she crouched down lower. As Ame closed in, she stared darkly at her. When she stopped dead in her tracks, Vells tilted her head to the side. She was confused and wanted to scream and howl loudly. She kept her cool though. She grumbled and then Ame pawed her shoulder yelling that she was it.

Right then and there, Vevilla stood there…like someone had just given her the hardest question in the word. She blinked a few times, dazed. “WHAT IN BLOODY HELLS NAME WAS THAT!!!” she yipped loudly. She wagged her plume and then took off towards her sister. She chuckled as she did so. What a rude…yet enjoyable prank her sister just laid upon her. She dashed around Adonis, trying to catch Ame’s plume as she went. Sounds of laughter and cheer were coming from the wolf as she continued this ‘play action’ that her sister had caused.

“Ammmmme! That was sooo mean of ya sister!” she giggled lightly, her orbs narrowing as she continued to play around with her sister, until she could make a clear jump onto her. She collided with Ame, making the two tumble to the ground as Vells giggled without control. She had almost completely forgotten that he was still there…and when she looked around when she crawled out of the snow, she felt slightly embarrassed seeing that she was head of a pack, yet still acted ‘childish’ with her sister.

[Amethyst]

Amethyst laughed as she hid behind Adonis’s form. Her sister was clearly surprised by what she had done. Why would she hurt her sister? She knew if she tried there would be a long bloody fight that her sister would die from and then the packs would wage war. “Haha you fell for it sissy. You know me it’s either a joke or I’m really pissed off. Haha.” Her tassel swayed through the air in happiness. Her crystal blue orbs glowed with glee. She was extremely excited. When her sister came after her she turned skull over tassel and ran, laughing along the way. Her sister did catch up to her though and when she did then smashed together and rolled down to the ground. Vevilla giggled uncontrollably and Amethyst cackled loud enough to wake the sleeping mole underground. Her sister crawled out of the snow with her face filled with embarrassment. Amethyst laughed a little bit more as her skull lifted with a mound of snow on her snout. Her form danced around the area like a pup. She never cared what others thought for it they were to think that she was weak and challenge her they would find out that she wasn’t as they slowly died in her jaws.
