how the mighty fall in love - Mace - Dec 10, 2013 @Asriel @Skoll @Morganna @Titan @Malia @Yuka Thought I'd make a thread to attract some other teens for Mace to meet and/or peacock at, which is why I tagged you all. :D He's not gonna do anything really rude, and he's not as close as it seems like he is to the packs. He'll probably just be a little cocky if anything. [dohtml] Under a cloak of thick ice fog, the Attaya prince slipped away from the comforting embrace of spacious Cedarwood to trek along the treeline. His paws took him skimming by the marsh where he had shamelessly engaged the lone female in play several days past, and he travelled until the trees spilled open to reveal the frozen lagoon. Lacking interest in the ice and the physical danger it presented, he swept by the yawning mouth and instead walked amidst frostbitten willows, with nary a care for the tracks of other wolves who had passed frequently by here. Nose turned up to the wind was enough to give him the information he needed: the scent of not one, but two dominant wolves carried on the northward breeze. It was an unintentionally arrogant crook of lips that decked his face then, as he strolled along with tail aloft on confident paws. Mace may not have been Prince of Cut Rock River — the title would fall to Maksim's and presumably Astra's young the coming spring — but he was Prince Attaya. With Rowan gone, though the thought brought a painful twinge to his heart and stabbed a hole in his chest, he was the only wolf to hold that moniker. His nearness was dangerous, perhaps, but there was ample distance between the upwind packs — the one whose dominant wolves he scented, and the one further east that he was unaware of — and himself that he could feign ignorance. Though he oft was a noble and righteous male, Mace would seed his boredom with mischief, if there was enough of it. Only a fool could miss the smell, but he was oh so young, and oh so inexperienced… At least, that would be his alibi to any enraged dominant wolf that might locate him out here. RE: how the mighty fall in love - Titan - Dec 12, 2013 @Yuka, @Malia - wanna follow Titan out on an adventure? Note: This is set during night time right? If not I'm probably going to have to change most of this. *Knocks herself out for thinking pups slip away during a foggy night.* [dohtml] Titan had sworn to himself that the only places he would visit now were the one's he knew how to get around. That limited the young man to Drooping Willows, Hush Meadow, and Fireweed Rise. Though he was a little more acquainted with the Whisper Marsh after exploring it back when he'd gotten lost and found by Maksim.
So when he had decided to try his luck at hunting again Titan decided to go to the place apart from the meadow that he knew best and that was Drooping Willows. The dark lad was not fond of the punishment Tokino Lagina, his mothers uncle, was trying to give him for wandering away nearly two months ago. It just didn't seem fair that he would be punished for that act now after it had happened so long ago. So the pup had slipped away while the old man slept to see if he could find something better to do with himself; instead of being stuck in a cave day in and day out bored out of his mind.
It wasn't like I was trying to run away or anything. I was trying to be useful... Titan had wanted so badly to bring his mother back something that would make her proud. Especially since she was usually the one bringing back food for the Thorben brood to eat. Just once the night coated Thorben wanted to bring his mother something to eat. Something that he had killed.
The fog that clouded the earth had cloaked mostly the ground near the forest. Perhaps due to the string-like dead canopy of the willows the fog could not lift to the heavens. Noting this quietly as he began passing into the willows from the clear meadow, Titan looked around at his environment. He knew this area well enough and that confidence in himself showed visually through an upward tilted head and lifted tail. It was comfortable to walk like this in territory that he knew.
Titan did not scent the other pup who stalked nearby. Unfortunately for the cavern wolf he did not have the wind on his side. Instead the wind blew the boys scent straight towards the stranger.
The cavern pup was however used to dim and dark conditions within the cave. His vision was probably better than even his mothers when it came to noticing the movements of pack mates, or other wolves in the darkness. A flash of movement ahead to the Thorben males right indicated to the boy that something was out there. He froze training his gaze on the dark landscape trying to see what the movement was.
It's definitely furry, and dark colored... Titan couldn't make out much more of the stranger from this distance. What's that size, dark, and furry? Another wolf? He wondered quietly watching the furry thing with a steady dark blue gaze.
"Who goes there?" Titan spoke up raising his head to peer over a bush hoping that it was another wolf and not some monster he had happened upon which might eat the child for a late night snack.
WHISPER Caverns [/dohtml] RE: how the mighty fall in love - Asriel - Dec 12, 2013 [dohtml] Though the snow made travelling and guarding the borders more difficult, Asriel set it for himself as a strengthening task. He pushed through the snow, spreading his large paws as wide as they would go so that he could stay atop the surface and when he sank through, he simply pushed on. Any and every opportunity to fill his often empty stomach was taken, and he found himself focusing more on hunting than guarding, though he tried his best to keep his hunting practices close to the borders so that he could do both. He was going through yet another growth spurt- one, he hoped, which would make him, finally, taller than his average-sized mother. Once he was taller than her, he would feel more like the guardian he wanted to be. Tall, strong, and intimidating.
Table by PuppyThief - STOCK: Dawnthieves.de [/dohtml] RE: how the mighty fall in love - Malia - Dec 16, 2013 [dohtml] A dark night rested on the forests of Whisper Caverns, with an invasive fog that lightly grasped onto the leaves of trees and into the entrances of the caves that Malia knew so well. The moon shone brightly in the sky, allowing for some light to reach the snow-covered ground. It casted an eerie light over all, and maybe some of the less adventurous of the Thorben children would stay back. However, Malia was not one of them. The amber-eyed girl peered into the darkness with inspecting eyes, attempting to discern plants, rocks, and monsters from the environment around her. Little mind working, the 7-month-old tried to form stories of things she saw in the night that she could scare her brothers with. Creatures that went bump in the darkness worked quite effectively. [/dohtml] RE: how the mighty fall in love - Mace - Dec 19, 2013 OOC: Night time is perfect! edit: The food-giving Spirit is following me in all my threads waugh~ IC: In the pressing silence lent by the heavy fog, Mace felt himself at ease. He was a soldier at heart, a wolf whose instinct was to follow commands and execute them to perfection, but he was also a knight, with a desire to rise above all others and prove himself superior. This mixture of traits made him an ideal Beta wolf, but also made him somewhat arrogant in the face of other wolves, those like himself and even those unlike himself. He had high expectations for himself and others, and it would perhaps be his undoing when he finally tried to make friends. But making friends was not a goal of his, he thought, as he allowed himself to ambulate thoughtlessly between the willows. He thought he might be alone for a while, thankfully unnoticed by the resident packs, but... A scent drifted to him on the wind, fresh, and he knew he'd likely be caught. His walking speed therefore decreased to a near-pleasant stroll; no reason to give his interceptor any reason to think he was trying to get away. Almost as if on cue, the authoritative call of who goes there broke the stillness and silence, and Mace came to a halt. Before he could introduce himself, however, the source of the call became visible for just an instant through the fog: a black-coated wolf, with frosted details, who looked to be about his height (maybe a tad bit taller) and around his age. This was an interesting development; he had expected to be found by a guardian, not an agemate, and so his approach to the whole thing would change. But not, it seemed, before others found him. The silken drawl of another wolf agreed with the first, and as Asriel came into view, Mace was surprised (quite pleasantly) to find this new wolf was exactly as the other two were: large stature, black fur, probably the kings of their litters. It was the arrival of a female wolf, slender but lofty with a tawny pelt that stuck out amongst the three black-furred males, that finally coerced Mace into addressing them. "Mace Attaya, prince of the Attaya family." Perhaps he could use his family name to his advantage; after all, how were any of them to know the Attaya family no longer ruled a pack in the Lore? He was unfortunately unaware of Titan's short stay with Maksim that would give everything away, or that these wolves had met both his sisters; instead, he played as if he had some claim to the title, raising his head with a wave of his tail to punctuate his introduction with pride. "To whom do I owe the pleasure?" Re: - Spirit of Wildwood - Dec 19, 2013 [dohtml] Look Out!There is a family of deer nearby. Hunt Opportunity [/dohtml]RE: how the mighty fall in love - Titan - Dec 19, 2013 OOC: I know pups can't take down a full grown deer but they're headstrong and might try. [dohtml] IC: All within a minute the scene would become a party. Titan cast a glance towards Asriel giving him a respectful nod in greeting and noting his scent. Unlike the Attaya boy to the Thorben male's front Asriel's scent was clear to him. It held the same pack smell that Elettra and Skoll also had throughout their coats which meant that he was being graced by another Archer prince. Though Titan was unsure of whether this prince was the firstborn of Elettra's litter or not.
Then his sister would quickly make her appearance. Titan, annoyed with her tailing his every movement lately, ignored her entrance until she spoke to him.
"Yes sister. More night time wanderings..." He growled low hoping only she would hear the reply. Then his dark blue gaze turned to the dark shadow ahead of him. It had moved and for a split second the fog parted to reveal yet another wolf staring back at him with what seemed to be a non threatening gaze. Titan switched his orbs back to the other wolves scattered around him and realized that they were all around the same age. He didn't have to worry about an adult finding him for now. As long as Malia doesn't tell on me I won't get into trouble being out here. He thought silently moving his tail down a notch as they were all on neutral ground. It was only right to show that everyone here was equal in some way or another.
The wolf ahead of the Thorben pup called out introducing himself to the others. As Titan had been the first to find this Mace Attaya he stepped forward and gave his own introduction.
"Titan Thorben first born prince of Whisper Caverns Pack." he announced proudly keeping his head up and pushing his chest out trying to look the noble part. Glancing to Malia as he was about to introduce her as well, Titan realized that she would probably snarl at him because he spoke for her. So instead he waited for her to introduce herself and glanced to the Archer waiting for his name.
It was while he waited for other introductions that a sound other than their growls broke the silence of the night. His ears trained on the obvious crunching of snow far to the left of the little group of pups. His head swung to the left mouth open trying to scent the chill air. He could see slight movement through the fog but whatever was out there was too far away for them to see. However the scent that hit the pups would quickly tell them exactly what was near.
A small group of deer were strangely moving about at night.
Losing interest in his age mates Titan flicked his tail on Malia's side urging her to follow him. "You want to make mom proud? Then let's get the pack some deer meat." He egged her to leave the other two male wolves and join him. He would have a better chance at a deer hunting with her than by himself.

Table by PuppyThief - STOCK: Dawnthieves.de [/dohtml] RE: how the mighty fall in love - Malia - Dec 28, 2013 [dohtml] Soon enough Malia heard the crunching sound of footsteps coming alongside her, and then a familiar face appeared. It was her younger brother Yuka, probably making sure they weren't breaking any rules. The Thorben girl said nothing to him as he scolded Titan, and ignored her older brother's response. It was his choice to venture, as it was hers, but it was obvious that if Tokino found out only Titan would really be punished. The girl noticed with satisfaction that Asriel was aware of her presence, and certainly was not happy about it. The more difficult she could make his life, the better for her. [/dohtml] |
