Moonlit Sonata[Kamikaze]

[Arkrael]

It was a strange place that she had found herself in. Sand stretched as far as she could see. The night was crisp and the breeze that rolled in from the ocean's water was the freshest thing she had ever scented. Tendrils of fog was slowly starting to roll in from the direction of the water. Letting all those who were present on the beach that the night was growing cool compared to it's much warmer daytime. Arkrael had slept the entire day away having only arrived close to the beach just before dawn the previous morning. She had grown accustomed to traveling by moonlight, preferring the serenity she felt from the moon's caress.

Paws raced over the still warm sands as waves washed up to tease her toes every few seconds. The warm water felt wonderful and had she not set her mind on having a nice midnight run she probably would have dove into the water's depth and had a nice swim. It astounded her how warm it felt here regardless the fact it was still winter. Of course, she was not complaining what so ever especially when one had only themselves to try and keep warm. Impressed that she still had not found herself winded from the duration of her run, Arkrael slowed her pace as a wide grin spread across her jowls with her tail starting to sway happily behind her.

Her gentle emerald gems lifted to the glittering sky. A wistful breath escaped her and she slowly sunk down to sit upon her haunches, uncaring of the slow moving waves that brushed up against her before receding and reaching out for her once again. It was quiet. Just like her entire, but still short, life. She had turned a meager one years of age just a few months back. Three months after her mother had abandoned her. She could barely remember the sound of her mother's voice. It probably didn't help the she-wolf never really spoke unless she was yelling at Arkrael for doing something wrong in her eyes..

A roll of her eyes and Arkrael cast her mother far from her thoughts and set her focus on the full moon that was slowly getting to it's highest position within the night's sky. There would be a day when she would not be so surrounded by silence. Where things would be lively in her life. At least she hoped there would be. The loneliness in her heart and very soul was starting to become grave and she just couldn't stand it anymore. She wanted so much to find a place to call home. To find others like herself that she could call family. To be accepted.

Audit's slumped down and fell against her head as a heavy sigh escaped her. She was young, she knew. Surely there was enough time to find what she was in search of. Shrugging it off she dropped her gaze down to the calm waters and breathed in the night's salty air. It brought a smile to her muzzle once more. It was silent, outside of the waves washing over the sides. She may be alone, but at least she could still sing. It came with no hesitation as she tipped her nose right back into the air and a soft melodic song rose from her lungs. Her song soon cut short and she perked her ears forward, listening to the soft echo before it was completely gone and she could only hear the moving waves.

Her chest vibrated with a deep hum. Content that she had lifted herself up before that ever looming depression could manage to grasp it's claws into her again. With a nod to her own thoughts, Arkrael's legs lifted her up and slowly began to carry her across the sands once more. This time in only but a leisure stroll and a little more closer to the water. She only had to be patient. Things would turn out in her favor of things. She hoped.

SPEECH.

Utter exhaustion.

That was the feeling that was overwhelming the snowy male at this point in time. He had finally begun to find his family. He had found his sister, Kayi, and he thought that he had found his brother, Malachi. Just the other day, he had found his uncle, Kenai. And he was now in the pack that his missing aunt, Sydas, had been in. He really did need to spend more time in his pack; he hadn't really settled in yet. He had been too busy wandering about the island in search of who knows what. Maybe his subconscious had never really believed that his siblings had died, or that his uncle had left as well. No one would ever know for sure, for Kaze's mind was a wild labyrinth that was unsolvable. A massive yawn escaped snowy jaws, and as the little male traversed the tall grasses of the Chamorou Plains. Why he was headed south, he had no idea. He had been in the east for such a long time. Maybe he simply needed a little fresh air. He trotted along slowly, mostly just staring out around him. The scenery was so beautiful in the south. Well, really, Anikira was beautiful everywhere. In the north, there was the rather large Shydar meadow, and it was just.....so gorgeous, especially in the spring.

Sighing with exhaustion, the male slowly made his way. There were little chickadees in the grasses. He could hear their songs. The wind blew gently across the plains, as it usually did, making the endless grass seem like a soft blanket. Eventually, the sound of the waves crashing on the shore reached his snowy audits, and Kaze's grey-blue eyes soon uncovered the beautiful beach that could only be Endyt Beach. It really was a favorite resort of his. He had grown up in I'queyer, for he had wandered there soon after his parent's death. The plains were always great hunting grounds, and the sound of the waves always soothed his mind. The noise kept the episodes and nightmares at bay, as much as was possible. When the beach came into his vision, a small smile played on his lips automatically. He simply felt at home on this beach, despite the fact that his home now lay in Aleru. Sighing contentedly, he allowed himself to lay down peaceably. He simply lay there for several long minutes, loving the way the warm sand send chills through his body. Rolling on his back, he threw his legs up in the air, playing with the wind. Smiling, the male began rolling on his back, making quiet yips as he did so. His tail wagged slowly as he played. And it was in this moment that he heard a soft, melodic song playing on the wind. It brought a wide smile to the male's lips. Kaze rather enjoyed the melodious sound, and his body moved to lay on his side once more. Closing his eyes, he drank it in. It was so beautiful.

All too soon, however, it ended. Kaze's ears flitted about in all directions, trying to pick up the sound again. He caught the last few notes once more as they echoed back from the ocean. Smiling contentedly, he remained still, remembering the song. And then, without another thought, the male quietly tipped his head back slightly from his laying position, and sung a quiet duet to the song. It was filled with the same tones, the same rises and falls, but it was from a new perspective. Almost like a reply. He made his song last just a short time longer than the one he had just heard, and then was silent. He lifted his head up, transitioning his body so that he was laying on his belly, and his ears perked forwards towards the direction of the original sound, waiting to see if that beautiful voice would travel back to him.

ooc awwwww ;w; this is looking like a really sweet thread. <3 I can't wait for him to take her to Ultoris :3 Heheh....if you don't mind, I think I'm gonna make him have a little puppy crush on her. His first puppy crush xD I mean, his future mate is just a pup so..

[Arkrael]

It was strange, how happy she could feel from being alone. All she had ever craved as a pup was love an attention from her mother. The bond that only others could share. Friendship. She had been denied everything of the likes. Learning only from watching, from practicing deep in the night where her mother could not scorn her or cast hateful words at her sad, pathetic attempts to get something right. The soothing rush of the water lapping at her paws with each, slow step she took, or the songs of the night bugs that she could just barely hear from within the trees that lined the beach further away from the water, was all but lovely to her. How she loved listening to all the noise she could.

And then it came to her. A deeper voice, soft and masculine all at once. Mimicking the song she had only moments ago sang herself. Her paws drew to a stop instantly, her head swinging up with surprise as Arkrael pushed her ears forward, listening to the dips and rises of the voice. The air seemed to be knocked out of her chest all the while she listened to the sound. It lasted longer than hers. Calling her. Enticing. Wind danced through her fur, sending the soft strands in a wave. Arkrael knew for sure it was a male. It scared her, yet enthralled her all at once. She had never met a male. Only heard from her mother that they were vile and untrustworthy.

Every instinct in her body screamed for her to turn tail and run, but the curiosity held her firmly in place. She remained silent a moment as the final note sang softly over the wind, fading out almost a little too quickly for Arkrael to be pleased with. Her heart drummed against her chest as she struggled to fend off the instinct to run and hide within the forest nearby. No, she would not. She was tired of running. So tired of hiding in the shadows in fear. Arkrael would not do it this time. Her head tilted back, pointing her nose towards the moon and she sang. Her voice answered back. Just as beautiful as she had last sang, but stronger this time. It carried the same tune, only this time adding different dips and rises to it to change it up. She cut short the song as quickly as the first time she had sung her song. Remaining motionless Arkrael listened eagerly, curious to know if this unknown male would take her up on the callback.

Arkrael seemed frozen to her spot as she listened for the return song. So distracted with trying to hear that when a sudden larger wave came rolling up to push into her the young she-wolf gave a sharp yelp when it plum knocked her right off her paws. Laughter ensued afterwards as the now very wet she-wolf clambered out of the water that had so easily knocked her over. She shook herself, sending water drops flying in all direction before she gave a haughty look to the water. "That was not nice," She huffed at the water before rolling her eyes and quickly set her attention back to listening as her paws subconsciously began to move her towards where the sound had came from. Albeit very, very slowly.

SPEECH.

Kamikaze's body was rigid at attention. His snowy audits strained to pick up any sound. A silence pursued for what felt like hours to the young male. In reality, it was probably only a few minutes as the mystery she-wolf deciphered if she were to reply or not. Unbeknownst to himself, she was deciding whether or not to flee. Kamikaze lay there, battling within himself whether or not to get up and search for the beautiful moonlight voice that had whispered to him on the wind. The longer he waited, the more rigid his body became in anticipation. His body became so strained that he leapt to his paws rather quickly, springing himself forwards a foot and a half or so.

And that's when it hit him. The long, beautiful chords of a lovely voice. Instantly, his heart rate accelerated at the same time that his body relaxed. A smile tugged at the edges of his lips, and he closed his eyes once more. Her return was just as beautiful as her first call, and it echoed different dips in rises. Kamikaze's voice rumbled quietly in his throat instinctively at the wonderful sound. Once again, however, her song ended much too quickly. A quiet whine escaped his lips, but he wasted no time. As soon as the last notes of her song died away on the wind, Kaze tipped back his snowy head and let loose his own return. His own song echoed hers once again, but this time, he added a few extra notes that begged of a meeting. For he so desperately wanted to meet the she-wolf who's coat was undoubtedly just as beautiful--if not more--as her lovely voice. It was simply music to his ears. And once again, he let his tones linger a little longer than hers. This time, however, as his song neared her ending notes, he paused for a few moments, and then sang a long, low note that he hoped would entice her forwards.

For he himself refused to go to her. He had no knowledge of her, and in no way wanted to frighten her. Consequently--despite his desperate feeling of urgency--he stayed rooted to the spot. His muscles were tightly bunched to hold himself in place, and his ears instinctively perked forwards, desperate for that lovely voice to reach them once again.
