Enter The Shadows

[Amethyst]

Her paws sunk deep into the snowy ground up to her chest. The cool wind wisped across her maw and danced in her nasals. Trees hissed in the background as the pines shivered and shook. The weather was changing, changing fast. Crystal blue orbs gazed upon the snowy scenery and shimmered with the light around her. The lands were quiet today but deep in her gut she knew that tomorrow would be different.

Her forepaws lifted up out of the snow and her canvas danced forward around the scenery. Small talons scraped the top of the snow leaving marks where she had been. Tiny flakes of snow began to float down to the earth creating a new blanket, it also blanketed her. The snow blended in with her white coat making her puffier than she really was. She looked like one big giant marshmallow that could walk.

The storm was getting a bit worse so she padded her way to the secret hide away that all arctic wolves knew about, the one under the trees. Her paws carried her to the first pine tree and dug into the snow pushing it back to make an easier slope to climb down. When the opening was just so, she climbed down in. Under the tree were of course the large trunk, soft pine needles, and moss lots of it.

She laid her form down upon the softest moss and rested her maw on her front limbs. A brief sigh escaped her kissers and kissed the air with a push of moist breath. From the way the sky looked she knew that she might be there for a bit. Looking around the small safe area she could find nothing that would interest her for a long period of time, so she started to sing.

�May he smile upon you�
May he wish you good day�
He is the one good savior�
He is here to stay�
Buried deep in the snow�
Down by where the river flow�
Arctic the mighty�
Rest in peace dear lord��

When she grew tired of the old song of the arctic hunters she started to sing one she had made when she was a little pup when her father left with her sister.

�Laughter, excitement, then comes climate
Tag then run
Bite then run
Sister sister don�t take that bone
Or good old Barnoe
Will eat you.
(laughs)�

She sang a few more that were songs of an old lover that broke her heart by fleeing the arctic with her first beta. The songs brought a sad look to her orbs as she paced around the brown trunk. When she finally grew tired of waiting for the snow to stop she peaked her little head out of the hole and sniffed the air. Then her head emerged, followed by her body. It looked as if it had only snowed for a little while. She shook her skull and then continued on her way back up to cave. Her skull lifted up into the air raising her maw high. Amethyst let her song dance across the open air to let her pack know that she was on her way. But not only her pack would hear her, she had forgotten about that.

As his form traveled through the landscape it seem to grow colder as he made his way through the chilled north. These lands danced with white snow and for Adonis this was a bit of interest but then again the cold never effected the brute. The land was covered in a snowstorm and the weather was not shapeing up any time soon. Adonsi was aware to travel in such weather could lead to the very same fate of other alpha's traveling through the north at this very same time. Being new to the ranks ment that Adonis would look at other lands before choseing the right pack to side with. A future as an alpha he had to know the other packs and their lands . This was the same journey that he had made durning the time of leading his old pack. Adonis was hit in the face a few times by strong gusts of air that knocked his form down into a deep snow bank. The snow covered hsi form almost makeing him seem like a snow wolf. His body shook at the frezzeing cold and then finaly destoryed the ice and snow upon his fur.

The sound of someone singing picked up of the low part of his lobes. The voice was wonderful and it drew him close far off from the snow bank that his form had left a hole in. A new scent also danced on his muzzle and it seem to be somewhat old perhaps it belonged to someone who he had met before. The weather grew only worse as he tryed dashing on the deep snow. Adonis made sure to not to move so fast to the point of loseing what energy was left in his own body. The sound of the song grew closer to him as the snowstrom raged on. The brute was aware that he could nto make it in this weather so to let the other nearby wolf or person who ever it was know that Adonis was their. Adonis with the last of his energy let the low howl sing into the sky hopeing that someone would pick up his call. The wind started to pick up lightly not blowing hard but still getting the remaining form of blasts to his apex. Still the howl contuied on but then fated into silence as he took for the safe cover of a pine tree.

Under the evergreen he was able to shake of the wind but could see little or nothing with the harsh storm about. "Damn...I can't die out here it least not like this ." From what he could tell it felt like he was in an unknown land with a few or little actions that he could even do. Adonis remained calm and hoped to find an answer in return to the call that was sent.

Her form pranced across the top of the snow. The storm was clearing up and this put a smile to her kissers. She kept her skull up in the air as the snow began to simply float to the ground now. Her nasals took in the free air that didn't smell totaly of pine. This gave her more joy to be out from the hole. She kept moving looking up to the sky when she suddenly fell into a hole?? but it wasn't a hole it was an imprint. She sniffed the snow around trying to find a lingering scent and she found one.

Her form lifted up out of the imprint and her nose flew down to the ground. She knew that any tracks will have been filled but the scent would still be strong. Lightly lifting paws moved across the landscape. With her small body and keen nose she would glide over the snow right to the creature. to her surprize she was heading back the way she came before. Just this time it was behind the other trees instead. Her nose kept going as she heard a howl for help. Out of instinkt, thinking it was one of her pack members she let out a reply. It flew across the air like the roaring winds, flooding all auds that heard it.

With a now worried heart her nose went back to the ground and shot her body forward. She kept going until she came to the end. The end was a base of a tree. Now her mind was fixated on the fact that it was a pack member and thier scent was just muddled by the snow. Her paws dug snow away and she shot her nose into the little hole she had created. With a few sniffs, she sneezed and then shot her nose back out to dig some more. Amethyst climbed down the slope she had dug and looked at the brute.

You are not one of my pack members. What are you doing in my lands brute? Snow blew in from behind her, shifting her fur forward as she took her alphess stance. Her skull lifted up into the air as her crystal blue orbs looked at him. Who was he? Why was he here? where did he get those eyes?

[Fallentwilight]

Adonis had awaken to hearing someone shouting as if with not much anger but confusion. The snow from the storm had caused his body to be coved in the white snow. Adonis wanted to dash off make his travel known but rather he had found one of the Arctic Hunters pack . Adonis let lose his solf calm voice and spoke to fae in front of him. "I've been traveling through your lands takeing in the sites however that storm had taken me by surpise. Clearly this female was an alpha of the lands . How she stood ,talked and looked at him explained it all. Rather then getting into a fight over useless coverstaion Adonis bowed and then moved off to her side out into the open and away from the tree. Adonis smelled her scent and then he fell into the snow again. It was deeper then he had throught it would be . "The name is Adonis fae and I bring no harm to your lands ."

The brute stood in the way of the sunlight for the sky had opened and the coldness of the storm was replaced by a keen warmth of daylight. Her smell draffted around him and blew into his muzzle. "Your the one who's song I heard. The reason for the call was out disstress and fear on my life ." Adonis was trying just to be honest with the fae. Adonis's eyes looked at her crystal like orbs they seem to dance in the light. Adonis then moved his apex looking about the land and were he stood in them. Adonis saw were he was walking had landing him right in the middle of the Arctic Hunters pack lands. This was the first in a long time that a mistake like that had been made but instead of showing imbarasment he just grined it off and then listen to the sound of the snow falling off a tree nearby

Adonis sure made a clown out of himself this time. But still it was not going to keep him down for to long at a time. His orbs and limbs moved back to look at the alpha.

Her form straightened more. He was clearly not an arctic wolf. His fur was colored of that of the forest pack and the way he acted to the snow screamed outsider. When he explained what he was doing there she didn�t really buy it, something about this wolf was different. His form lowered to the ground in a bow showing her that he did know that she was alphen of this land. Her white paws lifted from their places and she walked over closer to him. She eyed his form up and down, she couldn�t figure out what his rank was. This was something that frightened her. Not knowing rank could lead to underestimating and downfall. Then he spoke again after he moved his own form. He spoke of not bringing harm to her lands. Did he not know that he already did by coming here with out announcing it to the council? She turned her head and looked to the snow wall that kept them from the storm outside. �You do realize that my pack is not the most merciful one. In fact we are the complete opposite. If one of my pack members got to you before I did you might not be standing at all.�

A cackle rank in the underground and kissed their auds. Her laugh was soft and sweet. �Hun you wouldn�t last a week in my land, that�s for sure. Yes it was me singing earlier. Can�t believe you heard me. Sorry if I broke your auds.� She moved more to her right closer to the tree�s trunk. Her paw lifted up to the bark and her talons scratched lines down it. �You must be smarter in where you go brute. If you were caught up near the cave or up on the mountain, you would be dead. We are not nice wolves, we are dark and wont think twice about killing anyone.�

"Your right and your pack would have most likely would have destoryed me theirs no chance that a loner of my state would be-able to take on many others." Adonis may have been to the leader and alpha of the Forest Pack but still he would have to travel first before leading it would help with knowing what his pack would be up againist. "The ice and cold is not a place that one as my self should stay for to long at one time ." Adonis could tell from how close that this fae was getting that she was trying to put him into place. The fact tha Adonis had changed ranks so many times before in packs made it hard to declare what type of brute he was . Adonis had the look and stance of not haveing fear. Death for Adonis was not something that would cause panic and fear. His limbs picked up as he smelled the air . The statement he knew that he had said was just an open one it realy had nothing to do with what he was saying or thinking . "After dealing with that storm I had hoped that perhaps it would bring help not problems and conflict..it seems that this was a msitake." Adonis could smell her getting closer it was a sweet scent tp him.

Adonis step forward some and then fell back into a deep snow pucket . His body was now covered in the white snow it made his form shiver . Adonsi quickly shook the powder off and then sighed lightly. Adonis was out of shape in these lands his body and shape was ment for the thick cover of wild pine not deep puckets of ice cold snow. "Yes but even the dark can't surive if light is not bound to push such a thing back..then again I'm not dark or light so it means little." Adonsi let out a solf laugh and then it was replaced by cough not harsh but still a cough . Adonis enjoyed the cold in fact if the land had no snow it would be perfect. " Your voice and song was simply amazeing. The auds are fine be sides their are worse nosie's that have cause me torment." Adonis let a small smile escape his muzzle . Adonis was willing to be nice for once but if anyone tryed makeing a moved they would soon meet the sweet song of death.


"Anyhow once I heard your song it was the only clue that someone was out their durning the storm so by nature my song was let out into the gray sky over us." Adonis wanted to sit down but the snow would have caused his to jump back up to all four limbs .

[Amethyst]

�I never did say it would be many now did I?.� Her crystal blue orbs let a little tease show through them she was trying to mess with his head. Many had come through her lands once before and all they wanted was a fight. She thought that if she could keep this wolf guessing he wouldn�t have the chance. She looked his form up and down. �I�ll say your coat wont keep you warm and you will freeze before you have time to even think about warmth. A wolf like you should have stayed down in the trees where you belong.� Amethyst watched him move his stance, her tactics were not moving him, she would have to try something else. A sigh escaped her kissers and flew through the air in a puff of smoke. �I must keep my lands safe brute. I have no other choice but to be this way with new comers.�

Her giggle lightened up the mood in the air as she laughed at his clumsiness. The way that he shivered in the snow causing it to shift off of his form and drift down to the floor below was quit enjoyable to someone who had lived in the snow her whole life. �You sure think that you�re something don�t you?� she chuckled a bit looking back at him as he let a soft cough echo in her auds. �You come into my lands looking about, talk of things with me here, and then comment on my voice. I like complements so you are forgiven.� She laughed a little and let a soft smile brace her kissers.

�I only sing to pass the time. All storms end brute, non last forever. To let out a call of help is to bring help to you. It is the way of my pack, always has been. If you are out in a storm and hear a song, not for help, don�t answer back. That is the number one rule you must always remember when in the arctic lands. For if you get the other wolf stuck and killed it is your flesh I will be feeding to the prey birds in my fields.� Her form shifted back and forth over the terra. �You are welcome here but don�t get yourself into trouble.�
