Marrah Macieo-Tainn
Afternoon, overcast, -6C/22F, AW to any pups from SC, or any kids on the exchange/visit

I’m Done Putting Out The Fires You Start

Marrah knew they were supposed to be leaving fairly soon before the sun set so they could start their long trek back home. The girl was excited to get back to her Ma and everything she knew, but had one last thing she wanted to do first. They had skating back at the Chasm sometimes with the ice rain, but nothing like the Cove could offer with their frozen lake.

They had been so busy the three days they had been present, socializing and generally being good guests that Marrah had not had the chance to check it out. But now, now she had finally been able to sneak away for a few minutes and was staring at the frozen expanse of a lake that the pack had in their territory. The recent windy weather had swept the majority of the snow away and left a mirror like surface in its wake.

The Maceio-Tainn let out a small huff as a smile graced her features, stepping out onto the ice with confidence. It was time to slip. Looking back up from her paws, a glint of determination in her eyes, Marrah pushed off and started to glide.

Kateri Vuesain-Slayer
Kateri headed down to the lake for a drink. That was something that she was allowed to do as long as she was careful. After that speech she'd given her mother a look that said of course I'll be careful. All she'd been since she'd been brought back by her papa was be careful. She would remain being careful for as long as she needed too. The last thing she wanted to do was something stupid that would jeopardize her recovery and land her back in rest mode. At least lately she'd been able to get up and move around a little more. Especially now that they had all the pups visiting. Kateri thought it was all the pups from every corner of the lore.

Either way she sort of liked having them all there. Then she got to see some other pups her own age. She loved her brothers and sister don't get her wrong she loved her brothers but it was nice to meet some new faces.

When she got to the lake she wasn't really surprised to find another wolf there. She wasn't even surprised that it was a pup and one of the visiting ones. It was the fact that she was sliding across the lake. The dark pup hadn't ever seen anyone do that before. She wondered if maybe the visit and all the pups around had just gotten to be too much for her. Kateri continued her path to the hole in the ice that was meant for drinking.

on mobile, sorry for problems!


Archer Valle


The lake was still the most fascinating thing to Archer, being so big. He wished his Da was here so he could ask if the ocean back at his home was like this, or if it was different. All he knew was that there was a lot of water. He wondered if it froze like this; he'd have to ask when he saw him in a couple weeks.

After a moment of staring and enjoying the quiet, Archer saw a dark shape suddenly slide out onto the open lake. He squinted. It was one of those pups from the third pack; he'd thought they were leaving today. What was she still doing here? And what was she doing on the water? Wasn't she worried about falling through? He knew the ice was thicker in some spots - he'd seen the holes the Cove wolves had made to drink through.

Speaking of, he noted Kateri making her way down to one. After a moment's hesitation, he got up and went to join her. "What do you think she's doing?" he asked when he reached her, nodding to the other girl sliding over the ice.

had a dream so big and loud

JUMPED SO HIGH I TOUCHED THE CLOUDS

























Enera loved this place. There were so many new people to meet and friends to make, and the landscape was so different . The trek up had been horrendous, but now that she was here it was much better. Everyone was so nice, and Woya seemed happy to be with her cousin so she wasn't so scary.

Enera wondered what having cousins would be like.

She was sad they had to go so soon. All the pups from the other pack got to stay longer, and then the other other pups were going down the mountain to the other pack after that. Enera wanted to go too! But she was a little scared to ask @Rhaegara. Mama wouldn't want her to be gone that long.

The problem was Enera couldn't find Marrah. They were trying to gather, but her sister-friend was missing. Enera snuck off to go find her - and wasn't surprised to look over and see the dark girl gliding across the ice. With a brief glance behind her to make sure she wasn't followed, Enera dashed forward and only paused a moment at the ice's edge before pushing out after her friend. "Marrah! Wait for me!" she called, only seeing the other two kids on the way out. She slid herself to a stop facing the others. "Hey! Come slide with us!"

Dead Empress Backwater II. Leader
Eros Valle
Things had gotten better up on the mountain after Eros had been allowed to sleep, and drink and eat, and then sleep some more and eat again. His body was far from built for the journey he'd made, youth alone having allowed him to get away with it at all. Some of the Cove adults told him it would get easier to do the more he did it, but he wasn't so sure. Which meant, while he was up here, he might as well make the most of it.

When he scented the other kids gathering, his brother among them, he was drawn to the lakeshore like a bee to pollen. He spotted his silver-accented sibling first, but his attention was swiftly thereafter captured by Marrah's dark form gracefully sliding over the ice. It looked like she was having fun, and another Chasm youth, Enera he believed, was already excitedly making her way out to the other girl as well. Without hesitation, Eros sprinted down the hill and hit the ice with all the speed he had.

He shot forward, flying over the frozen surface and out past the other children. He'd only managed half of it upright, but even as he fell onto his chest and skidded the remaining distance in a tumble, he still laughed all the way. With nothing but a few negligible burns throughout his hide, he began to tussle enthusiastically with the slick surface in an attempt to stand back up and do it all again.

"That was awesome!"

Sanguine Cove VIII. Guardian
Leo Vuesain
 

Things had been hectic in the last few days with so many youngsters gathered at the Cove. Leo had done his best to get to know everybody, but he was easily overwhelmed, and now, already, the kids from the east were leaving. Or they were supposed to, except they weren’t gathering with the adults.

 

So, ever dutiful, Leo went searching for the other pups, and it didn’t take him long to find them at the lake. Kateri and the Backwater boy, Archer, were at one of the watering holes, but the kids from the Chasm were out on the ice! With a worried frown, Leo hurried down the slope to join his sister and the dark boy.

 

Dual-colored eyes stared out at the two on the lake, lips parting to stammer: “W-we ar… Aren’t supposed t-to…” The quiet protest was easily interrupted by Eros bursting onto the scene, his stout body hitting the ice hard, making Leo wince. The larger boy slid far out onto the lake, ending on his chest, and while his laughter and exclamation made it clear he was unharmed, Leo still looked on in terror, shouting out at the three pups: “B-be careful!”

 

The ice might seem solid, but it could be treacherous. Their parents had been very clear about that, as soon as the lake first started to freeze over: Never go on the ice.

Marrah Macieo-Tainn

I’m Done Putting Out The Fires You Start

Marrah loved this! This lake was so much bigger than any of the ice back home, she had enough space to make herself really go fast. Raising her head into the air and closing her eyes, drinking in the feeling of wind rushing through her pelt it felt like true bliss. Is this how birds feel when they fly? Is that why they were always going up so high? The very thought made the mountain seem less scary. Too bad she had this realization today and not at the start of the trip.

She did not even realize that she had gathered quite the audience until Enera called out. What a perfect time to show off the move she had been working on, she would jump and spin around so she was facing the other direction and slipping backwards. Marrah had been practicing on her own in secret anytime they got ice, but now she could show it off. She pushed off, up into the air and started to twist around, halfway, three quarters, and she was there! Her back paws came back onto the ice, smooth landing, and then her front paws came down. For a split second she really thought she landed it.

Then her back feet splayed out and she was sitting on her rump. Marrah erupted into laughter as she saw Enera and another boy taking the ice, coming towards her quickly. With a shriek of giggles, the dark girl pushed off and started to slip towards them. She had no idea Leo was calling for them to stop, or what potential danger they were in.

Kateri Vuesain-Slayer
Kateri watched as the girl she thought was Marrahthat had been on the ice glide across it so… well she didn't really know what word to use for it really. Archer was next to her before she even realized he was there. "I don't know," she said when he asked about the girls. "We don't usually go on the ice. Well expect to break it to drink," she explained further.Then another girl whose name she believed was Enera joined her on the ice. Both of them were sliding around it.

Then a boy came flying onto the lake. She didn't see who it was at first but then she saw it was Eros. She giggled at his antics. She'd never seen such a thing. Kateri wanted to go out onto the ice too but she wasn't sure it woukd be good for her leg. She'd seen how Eros had gotten started and the other girl. Running onto the ice was probably out of the question.

Her attention was drawn away from the gliding pups when she heard her brother. When she turned to look she saw it was Leo, a smile crossed her features. She knew of the lessons that they'd been taught by their parents. "You two should go out and give it a try too," she urged, "The ice looks safe enough." Maybe once she was better dhe could give it a try too.

It seemed Kateri didn't have an answer either, and furthermore the Cove wolves didn't go out on the ice except to drink. That brought a frown to the Valle boy's face; it only furthered his suspicion that it was dangerous. Leo's appearance and stuttered warning solidified it. Good thing-

Eros was suddenly slamming into the ice and spiraling out onto it, going further than either of the girls and laughing all the way. Archers ears went flat against his head and his eyes narrowed. Of course his brother would be out there, paying no heed to danger and going further out than the - he assumed - experienced sliders. Kateri herself didn't seem too concerned, urging the boys to join the others. Archer had noticed she didn't seem to be as active as her siblings and that she limped. Maybe that's why she didn't want to go out. Maybe she knew better. Archer glanced over at Leo, curious for his opinion, before he decided whether or not it was safe for him to go out there and drag Eros back or not.

had a dream so big and loud

JUMPED SO HIGH I TOUCHED THE CLOUDS

























Before the kids on the shore could respond to her invitation, another boy burst into the scene, zipping past her so fast she almost fell turning to watch him go by. He went down on her chest and Enera winced in sympathy. She knew how much falls like that could hurt, though it didn't look like he'd hit his chin the way she had at her first lesson.

She was distracted from laughing at him - what was his name? Eros? - by Marrah coming back towards her. She suddenly hopped and twisted, and for a moment she was sliding backwards. Enera was just opening her mouth to demand to know how she'd done that when her sister-friend fell. She didn't seem harmed, however, and quickly jumped back to her feet to come towards the pair, giggling. Enera went to meet her. "That was a cool move!" she said. "How did you do that?" Even though Marrah had fallen in the end, she had landed it for a moment.

The pale girl too was oblivious to the protests of the local boy on the shore and the danger below her feet. Water in the Chasm wasn't deep; how dangerous could this be?
