Mercy Pack : Territory

Kole watched as the blind wolf quickly got himself unstuck. He smiled and nodded to the wolf after he introduced himself but quickly remebered that Bain couldn't see him. Hurriedly he replied, "Nice to meet you," but was cut off as the white and black wolf took off down the mountain. He wasn't sure whether to follow or not. It seemed that Bain could take care of himself well and didn't need any assistance. It was then that Kole noticed Kipxin standing there. He grinned for the first time in what felt like forever. He could feel his facial muscles flex and strain at the small effort. He trotted over to the grey wolf and nudged his forehead against her shoulder.
"Hey kip!" He said happiliy, hoping that everything was going good for her.
"How's everything?"

Wolves addressed: Bain, Kipxin.
Wolves mentioned: Bain, Kipxin.

Bain heard a howl. If a wolf was injured he could do something about it, but not much else. He decided to go look anyway. He trotted through the forest, the white part of his coat was blending nicely, while the black part stuck out like a sore paw. Once he neared the source of the howl, after many falls, he scented Whisper and a deer. He flicked his ear before calling out "Are you hurt? Do you want me to try and find the others to help drag that back?" he sat with his ears facing Whisper so he could hear her reply. He was sitting about 10 wolflengths away from her, right beside a small Marigold plant. It was covered in frost and almost dead, but he could probably salvage a few stems from it. He'd just have to check them and make sure there was still enough green on them.

(ooc- I'll just use meters instead then)

Bain gave a quick nodd then started feeling around for paw shaped dips in the snow. It was a pain when you couldn't see them. He finally found one and then he followed it carefully, he knew how easy it was to get off the trail with no scent. Bain sighed, there was an easier way to do this. One was by scent, which he could still pick up, but not acurately enough in the snow. Then there was by sound. He could howl and listen for someone to howl back then head in the direction of the sound. He just shuffled his paws and continued following the trail. At least this way he knew that he probably wasn't going to get stuck in a hole. If he did he would give Whisper a nice talk about warning blind wolves of holes bfore you send them to follow a trail. He smelled another scent getting closer. It did kind of smell like Azreal's scent. He ran towards it until he tripped on a log he slid and stopped at Azreal's feet. He stood up and shook it off. "Whisper would like your assistance.." was all he said until he started to follow the trail back again. Hoping that Azreal was following.

Whisper began wandering farther and farther away from the kill spot, lost in the wonder land of snow, that she had created in her mind. The tracks in the snow would allow her to return easily, but as she scented the air it seemed familiar, and it wasn't until she looked up and saw the mountain looming ahead over her, and though it was large she was not intimidated. Whisper scented the air, maybe there would be wolves here, she hoped so, it had been nice wandering the forest, striding through the layer of snow and feeling the crisp air in her lungs, but she wanted to see how the pack was doing. Whisper wondered if Bain had found Azreal and taken him back to the kill, she hoped not. Whisper usually was not sentimental, she had to not be, but something about making her first kill and sharing it, Whisper hoped she didn't miss it. But the breath that she had taken in revealed that kipxin and kole were near. Whisper paused she didn't want it to seem like she was eavesdropping which she wasn't she hadn't heard anything, too lost in thought to care about her surroundings, but it would seem that way. Whisper paused only a moment more, if they found her they would definitely think that she was eavesdropping, whisper walked, not timidly but not aggressively into view of the two wolves then dipped her head to Kipxin then kole, wondering if she should speak, waiting for them to make the first move.

Whispers caressed the lonesome female's mind, filling it to the brim within each passing second, telling her right from wrong, and the things she had been living by for so long. It was as if the devil and angel sat on either of her broadened shoulders, arguing over the decision on what path to be lead to. Their stench practically took over her instincts and heart to follow, but the voices seemed to lean towards the urge to kill. Her pup's weeping inner being long ago still lay lively deep inside her soul, begging her to move on and choose what is good for the sake of her. Nuclear minded them, sitting gracefully at a cliff's edge upon the newly fallen leaves of autumn, accompanied and blended into the background of saffrons and amber shades. Lines of ebony and glossy ashen patterns worked upon her fur, phasing into a lighter shade of an off-white and dipped in a creamy pool of wraith-like black to lurk in soft patterns around her soft green eyes. Flecks of bright ivy spilled in small circles around them, a darker rim completing it around the entire iris itself. Her eyes were left untouched by emotion, ghostly looking over the lands and taking the option to key that there was a pack near, a new start.

Cautiously, the rogue rose to stand on all four soft paws, stretching her toned legs and leaving her tail to dangle lifelessly behind her, raising her snout to the sky to release a mournful howl. Once it deceased back into the wind, it echoed into the dark abyss and beyond, bouncing off shadows within the darkened forest to the likes of a possible other. Speaking was never an issue for the fae, but it had been long since when she had spoken a word, surely, it would not surprise her, that is. Chips and pebbled rocks flew off the edge as she skidded her lean body down the cliff-side, sprinting a few more small yards till she stood at the dividing line of pack vs wild. Nuclear then stood to her tallest, keeping her tail carelessly as it was and rounding her ears forwards, reflected over her fur an orange due to the magenta amber skies above her. Waiting for a superior's attention to be released from the shadows, every feeling, every emotion registered in her body soon drained from her face, leaving her to stand as if she were a statue. Silence washed over the surroundings of hers, providing peace and serenity to the wise mind of the maiden.

Her attention was soon then caught by the scent of a foreign other, carefully prying away her fit of glances to travel along the threshold to see a figure in the distance. The smell of the pack was indeed strong, so she predicted it to have at an average amount of wolves to be within under the leader's ranks. Nevertheless, her mind was far from if the superiors had arrived and more on the fragile creature whom sought to be gentle, and smaller than her. Nuclear wistfully with an elegant balance to her stroll moved closer to the other fae, eying at how the soft browns and crimson dipped hues grooved into an eye-catching pattern amongst her pelt the closer her vision cleared, "Who are you?" With shifty, careful soft green orbs, the fae narrowed her snout downwards to look into the other's (Whisper's) eyes, her tone as delicate as dripping warm honey from the tip of her long pinkish black tongue to fixate into mastered words of her own. As she had not yet answered, her ebony ashed ears erected outwards at the crackling noises echoing off the forestry walls - shadows lucking along their trees as voices neared closer and closer. Nuclear simply looked away from the fae and parted distance between them so that it would not be uncomfortable. She knew how some vagabonds were, however, who's to say that she was far from being correct that the smaller fae was indeed neutral with her surroundings and other individuals? To that, she knew not, but shook it away to see two figures of higher importance near. Nuclear's eyes dimmed and then returned their brightness to their full intensity, raising her chin slightly before making the full extent of her body nearest to the earthy floors. She bowed to their ranks - being that they were far higher than hers - to show that she was a respectful wolf, and not a pathetic shadow with no mercy to withstand before a leader.

Azreal:
Azreal knew he had abandoned Whisper at the hunt. He wanted the female but he didn't know how to say it or what to say. He felt her leave him and take off in the direction he wanted her to go. Thank goodness she knew where to go without him. She was a sweet female. Azreal got up to follow her but before he took two steps someone came fumbling out of the bushes. It was the male stuck in the mud earlier. Why was he trudging around like something was in his eye? Couldn't he see? Azreal stiffened up. The male spoke of Whisper and needing his help. Azreal felt his heart jump a little higher than he felt comfortable with. He hesitated too long to ask any more and the wolf disappeared into the bushes again. Azreal decided the male must've changed his mind and home to someone else for help. He paced back and forth wondering if whisper was alright. He decided to follow her scent anyway. Azreal lowered his muzzle to the ground and followed her scent leading him to the pack. With a few new members. "I can see I've missed quite a bit" Azreal projected and sat down hoping to rejoin the pack. Kole and Kip seemed closer. No surprise there. Hopefully they would declare mates soon. Azreal smiled at whisper and looked around at all the new faces.

Bain sniffed the air and noticed that Azreal wasn't following. The male huffed and decided to just find some place to take a nap. He headed in a random direction, stumbleing and bumping into things as he went. He came to a shallow stream and lapped at the water before laying beside it and letting the trickle lull him to sleep. He dreamt that he was a pup, but this time he could see.. his father didn't go mad, and he wasn't a descrace to his pack. It was quite wonderful. He wished that it would never end. Sadly he woke up, back in darkness. It made him want to lay down and sulk for three years. He stood up and headed in a different random direction, he suprised himself when he actually scented other wolves nearby. He trotted towards them and found that Azreal had found his own way to where Whisper was. She had moved. Bain just grumbled to himself and laid down.

Azreal:
Azreal felt whisper come closer. "I'm fine, I just thought you were overwhelmed and needed time to yourself. I didn't want to intrude." Azreal looked over at Bain now stumbling into view. The wolf appeared drunk. "Why does Bain move like that?" Azreal asked Whisper curiously. "He seems so different." Azreal tilted his head to the side and looked back over at the female.

Wolves mentioned - whisper; Bain

Whisper's ear flickered as she heard Azreal's voice, but her attention was directed at a scent, Bain, Whisper was almost relived, but then she realized Azreal had asked her a question, Whisper answered in a quiet tone much like the one she had used before "Bain is blind"Whisper gave him an almost puzzled glance, didn't he know? Whisper shot a look at Bain, wondering where he had been and if Azreal knew there was a meal sitting out in the forest, but Whisper was almost completely focused on Azreal now, wondering why he made her feel so uncomfortable. The new wolf, Kipxin and Kole were almost forgotten but still in the back of her mind. More importantly to whisper was why, was it the season or was this serious. Whisper almost hoped that it was the first one, because she was almost sure that Azreal didn't like her, and she knew that she couldn't do it, she couldn't open her heart up, it was too dangerous. Whisper sighed silently slightly wistfully, but she turned her attention back to the situation, hoping nothing would go wrong, and no one would have to see how incompetent she was at fighting.
