one [little] miracle - Anyu - Jan 23, 2012 [dohtml]
[/dohtml] one [little] miracle - Kanosak - Jan 24, 2012 It was a sound foreign to his ears that dragged him up the rivers bank. His natural curiosity piqued at the opportunity for a new discovery, just as it had done since he was a pup. For once instead of following his nose he utilised his ears and carefully picked his way through the undergrowth. As if bending to his wilful desire to see exactly what was causing the sloshing racket, the trees retreated from his line of sight revealing water cascading and crashing against the surface of a deceivingly calm pool. A fine mist was thrown up by the falling water and Kanosak violently shook his golden fur, the sound covered by the crashing of the water into the pool, hoping the further fluffed it was, the less water would permeate to his skin. He found it impossible to sleep in the increasing cold when his fur was left damp. He had been so caught up with the sight of the falls that he hadn't noticed the wolf sitting calmly and staring into the pool at her feet. He froze in place, unsure of how to approach the stranger. She seemed so focused that she hadn't yet noticed him and he contemplated retreating into the trees and slinking away unnoticed, but she didn't smell of a pack, and his experiences so far had been favourable. As he went to move towards her he knocked a small stone with his paw and it fell into the water with a loud 'plonk'. He flinched and froze, his head down non-threateningly and avoiding openly staring. He chanced a quick glance with an apologetic grin, "Uh, Hi..." one [little] miracle - Anyu - Jan 25, 2012 [dohtml]
[/dohtml] one [little] miracle - Kashikoi - Jan 25, 2012 After two days of seemingly endless wondering through the heavily wooded wild woods he found a stream leading through the woods determined and pressed by his hunger he followed the stream as it grew to a river and then a majestic waterfall. He then tilted his nose to the air in hopes of smelling the scents of life given prey but was shocked when instead he smelled two wolves. He lowered himself low to the ground in hopes of passing through unharmed. Frustrated as he was he knew that if it came to a fight he would surely lose. one [little] miracle - Kanosak - Jan 25, 2012 Kano visibly relaxed once the wolf in front of him realised he was there and didn't seem interested in a fight. "Sorry about that, I-uh, got distracted by this..." he said motioning to the waterfall. "I've never seen one before... The noise... well my curiosity tends to get the better of me sometimes... most of the time..." he finished with a smile. "My name is Kanosak by the way... what's yours?" he asked with a friendly tone. As he finished introducing himself, the wind shifted direction and he caught the scent of yet another wolf. Suddenly on alert, his ears swivelled to try and pin-point the location of the new wolf, his tail held rigid and hackles up. There was something distinctly male about the scent but it still had a trace of pup about it. He attempted to relax a little, not wanting to scare the other wolf away, but he also wanted to make it clear that he wouldn't take a challenge lightly. one [little] miracle - Anyu - Jan 25, 2012 [dohtml]
[/dohtml] one [little] miracle - Kashikoi - Jan 25, 2012 Kashikoi was in the process of staying low to the ground to try and sneak past the two larger wolves. He felt sure that he would be able to sneak past them without any harm but no sooner than the thought left his head the very wind betrayed him and shifted. No he was so close, he thought to himself but his thought was interupted when he heard one of the wolves speak and say "Show yourself". Knowing that his scheme had failed he raised himself out of the tall weeds revealing himself and seeing the two wolves in the process, one male and one female. By natural instinct he made himself as small as he could which came easy to him because of his lack of mass. keeping his tail tucked under, and his ears flat against his head he slowly approached the two wolves while the water continued to bleb. What are they going to punish me by? He dreaded the thought of having his muzzle or ears bitten. He cleared his throat which suddenly felt dry "I didn't meen to intrude I was just looking for food not a challenge." he prayed to the woods that the wolves would be merciful to him. one [little] miracle - Kanosak - Jan 26, 2012 Kano relaxed internally when he saw the size of the intruder but maintained his dominant stance. He was little more than a pup, still growing into his legs and ears. At this closer range it was obvious the yearling no longer smelled of pack and Kano shifted uncomfortably. Usually wolves would wait another year to gain the skills they needed to survive and though it wasn't unheard of for yearlings to leave the pack, they often had a much harder time surviving on their own and it went against his whole nature to see one so young struggling to survive on his own. The brown wolfs slim frame was testament to the difficulties that faced a young wolf alone but he was sure the smaller wolf would make up for it with speed. Kano was fighting an internal battle. His strong sense of pack was telling him it was all wrong. Only one wolf had left his birth pack before her second year and she had been dead within weeks. Her story was told to the young wolves to explain the dangers that faced someone unprepared and he wondered what sort of pack would let a wolf so young slip away. He had noticed the submissive stance the youngster was holding and decided he had probably terrified him enough, his hackles settling and tail dropping slightly. At the mention of food Kano thought back to the last time he had shared a decent kill. It had been almost a week ago and he was once again beginning to feel the pangs of hunger that weren't unheard of for a lone wolf. The white wolf was still quiet standoffish and he sighed internally. "And I imagine from the look of you, you haven't had a decent meal in a long time. I am Kanosak, what is your name?" If he wasn't going to attack he may as well get preliminaries out of the way, maybe at the mention of food the she-wolf would warm a little to the thought of a potential hunting party. She could clearly do with a decent meal as well, and he thought it might just lift her spirits a little. If the youngster hadn't arrived he might have tried to engage her in play although he wasn't sure how much success he would have had, she looked like she could use some fun. OOC: quick explanation, started this as a lone wolf. Kano's old pack were very traditional and he grew up pretty sheltered in the sense that it was rare for anyone to leave the pack at all, and everything revolved around the pups and what was best for them. So the thought of such a young wolf out alone when the only stories he had heard were of his aunt leaving the pack and being killed by a bear shakes him up a bit. one [little] miracle - Anyu - Jan 26, 2012 [dohtml]
[/dohtml] one [little] miracle - Kashikoi - Jan 26, 2012 Upon hearing the request for his name he would quietly answer "kashikoi is my name..." he watched as the older wolves abandoned their dominant stances which perplexed him. He was expecting to have to use his precious energy he need for hunting to out run the two. He certainly wasnt expecting them to be kind. But wat surprised him more was how the female started to comment about how starved he looked it made him long for the taste of warm meat again. Before he could continue his thoughts the female asked if he wanted to help in a hunt an actual hunt not with him watching! He eagerly replied "i would love to help with the hunt" his tail started to wag as he said this showing he was excited. |
