My Home is a Prison - Rhysis - Mar 28, 2012 It had been a few days since the wolves had claimed their land. Each had gone their own way, exploring and marking the borders that were now theirs. Rhysis had been scarce; taking time to himself as he aimlessly wandered the forest and rock terrain that was now their home. During his time alone, he had done nothing but think. Everything had happened so quickly. Everything just came crashing down in just a few words. They hadn’t meant to take things so far. It just seemed that when his emotional gates were opened everything came flooding out. It had been almost as if he were under the influence of his rage, he was just a passenger not the driver as instinct had taken over. When the heat had settled, he had said nothing. What could he say? My Home is a Prison - Athena - Mar 28, 2012 [dohtml] A few days were spent exploring her new home and observing all that she could. She needed to know everything around here. Every crevice, hill, stream, or cliff needed to be memorized and accounted for. If she was going to give everything she had to her new leaders, she needed to do it right. Good thing she had a great memory, or she would be toast. Naira was pregnant, so pups would soon be here. They all needed to be ready to take up that responsibility and Athena was confident that she already was. However, were Rhysis and Ava ready? She was on her way back from exploring the mountains a little bit deeper. The lake was in her sights and so was the black form of her leader. He was peacefully lying down on a boulder, staring across the lake. She stopped for a moment, taking in the serene moment before walking closer. She attempted to kick some loose stones to alert Rhysis of her approach. Although, she doubted he could not hear her climbing down from her journey in the mountains. As she got closer, she lowered her tail in respect and flattened her ears slightly. A slightly lower boulder was next to the black male's perch, so Athena gracefully jumped up on the rough piece of stone. She nodded a greeting and sat down peacefully, wrapping her elegant tail around her small paws. She too, gazed out towards the lake, enjoying the peace and quiet – for the moment. My Home is a Prison - Rhysis - Mar 29, 2012 A recognizable scent soon wafted within the air, accompanied by the sounds of pebbles upon pebbles to follow. It seemed she wanted to alert him of her presence, for a wolf so small wouldn’t make so much noise. He supposed he should be grateful for the alert; it gave him time to prepare for company which he had been trying to avoid. It wasn’t her fault he was brooding and she certainly couldn’t know that he wanted to be alone. My Home is a Prison - Athena - Mar 29, 2012 [dohtml] A smile formed on the white female's lips as she thought her new home. He did very well in choosing the territory. In fact, this was her favorite place in Relic Lore. Lost Lake and Mountain of Dire was where she found refuge when she first came to the unfamiliar lands. Having grown up near the mountains and by water, she felt more at home than ever. "I absolutely love it. It is amazing here," she said turning her head towards him with a bright smile. In the past few weeks, she has indeed warmed up to him and she is coming out of her shell increasingly around her new leader. She has yet to speak to the other black female. However, soon she plans on seeking her out and getting to know her pack-mate a bit more. Who knows, she may need to rely on her if the Poison Path pack goes under attack. Speaking of the lands they have recently claimed, she found that she is increasingly getting better at her climbing. She can now jump almost as high as a larger wolf. Her hind legs bulge with muscle that could easily outrun any wolf now. She felt stronger here than she did in Swift River. The land there was flat and no terrain variation. Here, though, terrain is far more diverse. [/dohtml] My Home is a Prison - Rhysis - Mar 30, 2012 He allowed a half smile in her direction at the excitement she showed towards the area. He was glad she liked it. That made the two of them and only two more to determine what they thought of their new home. From a tactical point of view, it was perfect. It was separate from the main land by the rocky terrain. They were almost invisible to the others with the vast water helping to block their scent, high ridges and structures to give them a wonderful view of not only the land, but any on coming threats, but they had good shelter within their dens and the forest in general. He was pleased with it, there was no doubt about that. My Home is a Prison - Athena - Mar 31, 2012 [dohtml] Another smile crossed the female’s pretty face. He was actually being nice at the moment. This would be the first time that she thought he was genuinely being nice, not out of business and self gain, but out of true thanks. Indeed, he was right, she did take a risk coming with him, but to her it was not all bad. True, she practically had a bounty over her head, but not as serious as Rhysis's and Naira's. She was almost like a fugitive, running away with them from the River wolves. However, she felt that going with Rhysis would turn out to be the right thing for her. She would give them all her loyalty and her life if she had too, in return for some freedom from her demons. Her biggest demon was now lifted off her shoulders when the white woman was able to prove her father wrong. She would survive. She would not be a useless mutt. She can hold her own and hold her own she will. Indeed, he was right. She did know that Naira was in fact carrying his children; she knew ever since she smelled the shift in scent radiating off her when they met to run away. Knowing this, she already planned she would help the tawny women out with her children. Therefore, it was very easy for her to accept Rhysis's question. Athena would do everything possible to avoid having Naira and her pups injured, or shall the wrath of her fury be released upon the wolf that dare lays a paw on her leader. "Indeed, you can trust me. I had already set my mind on keeping her and the children from harms way," she said furiously turning back to him. She was no liar; she only spoke the truth. ”I promise, I will do everything in my power to keep them safe." Even if it met harm to me, she finished silently in her head. If this pack was going to be strong, those cubs needed to be safe and healthy. They are the pack future, their lifeline. If they want to continue on, nothing could happen to either Naira nor her children and Athena was going to make sure of that. [/dohtml] My Home is a Prison - Rhysis - Apr 01, 2012 He nodded at her response. He had figured she would be willing to do as he asked without any trouble. They might not know each other well but sisyhR felt as if he could depend on the little wolf, even more so then ariaN at times. ariaN would fight him in this issue, he was certain but with the little wolf as his spy he felt a little better about it. Next he’d had to lay down the rules to ariaN, and she’d throw them back in his face and continued to do as she pleased, but he’d still have little anehtA there to keep watch. Maybe they’d make friends along the way, he was sure ariaN was the sort of wolf who liked to be surrounded by friends... maybe the more friends she had the more likely she’d be to stay on the damn territory. My Home is a Prison - Athena - Apr 01, 2012 [dohtml] Indeed, they did need a pack meeting. Maybe this was going to be where she could actually talk to the other black woman. She had not had the chance to met up with her alone and see if the woman had any alter motives. She was hoping she would not find any since she was a recruit of sisyhR' and she doubted he would be foolish and choose an unworthy pack wolf with his children on the way. Nevertheless, this was why anehtA was even more determined to talk to this avA to make sure in her eyes; she was fit to be close to ariaN and her cubs. The task that sisyhR had laid before her was taken to heart and she would make sure nobody with evil intentions comes even close to ariaN. There were actually many things that kept refuge here in the mountains. They were just hard to find and even harder to catch. She had seen the occasional mule deer and the wolverine population was a bit too high for her liking. They would indeed cause an issue with the incoming pups on the way. anehtA was keen on trying to clear the buggers out before the cubs were old enough to accidentally run into the monsters. Rabbits, goats, and lynx were the usual subjects of the mountain. However, she did come across a scent of cougar that put her on edge. Even if it was only one cougar, it was one too many. "There are actually more food here than you think. Mule deer, lynx, and wolverine take refuge in the mountains," she told him. She then continued on to warn him about the two creatures that may threaten the cubs when they get older. "I've come across a cougar scent and I'm getting worried that it may cause an issue in the near future if we don't get rid of it soon. Also, the pesky wolverine population is too high for my liking. The pups may run into them once they are older and they might get badly hurt if we don't drive the wolverines out." My Home is a Prison - Rhysis - Apr 01, 2012 sisyhR nodded. She’d done her fair bit of scouting it seemed and that was useful. He’d been aware of the cougar scents after having explored the mountains a few times; whilst he’d yet to bump into one he knew they were there. It could be a problem, but he supposed that so long as the borders were patrolled and heavily marked it would keep its distance- still, if they came across one they’d have to take it out. The threat was too great. Fortunately it was breeding season for most animals, with any luck the cougars would be focused on their young rather than exploring- it was only when the young were able to travel more that they’d have a real problem. My Home is a Prison - Athena - Apr 01, 2012 [dohtml] She nodded at his response. He was right they needed more wolves to take down a cougar without any causalities. Anyway, the cougar has not shown itself, so it is not dangerous yet. However, a cougar in the mountains put her on edge, because what if on one of her travels in the morning or night she runs into it. She would not last very long without help. She could indeed injure it, but killing it would have to be a team effort. All this should definitely be mentioned at the pack meeting. If he did not bring it up, the second would. She did not want any of her fellow pack mates hurt that would just make ariaN stressed out trying to heal them. She did not need that right now, especially with the pups on the way. That would be a disaster waiting to happen. sisyhR finished by saying the pack meeting would be in a couple days after everyone is settling down in their new home. anehtA was already settled and had explored almost all the lands that she called home. The mountains were explored the most since that was her favorite terrain. Everywhere else was equally explored, but the mountains always called to her. Now they may be dangerous for her to travel in them alone. However, if the borders were marked enough, it might be still safe. "Alright, sounds fine," she said. She was still uncertain about avA, so she thought that she could mention something about her. "How much do you know about avA?" She asked. Maybe there was something that sisyhR knew about her that made her a worthy pack mate. Whatever it was, she wanted to know so she could have peace of mind with her being around ariaN. |
