SPEECH.

The Eye of Fenris.

It was there that I met her. Her name was Zira. It was beautiful. I was torn.

The cavern was smooth, and moist.

I found myself in the sinkhole, and there she was. She was dancing. It was so beautiful...

The water droplets looked like crystals.

She smiled at me, and then we danced together. It was intimate, and it was everything.

And then you met Mommy?

Yes, little Kaze. Then I met your Mommy again.

Tears welled up in the eyes of the year-old male. He missed his father, Kismet, terribly. Oh the moments that they had shared. He had heard the love story of his father and mother many times, but only one time had his father mentioned another she-wolf that he had loved: the mysterious Zira. When he spoke of her, a certain tenderness entered his eyes, and a certain wistfulness had been barely perceptible in his voice. It wasn't the same as what happened to him when his mate, Inaya, was around. When she was around, he was always lit up like a light bulb, and so very enthusiastic and happy. Oh, how he would tease her. Kaze still remembered. They were so in love. But that one time that Kamikaze had gotten his father to speak of Zira, there was just such an underlying tone of tenderness that it made the little pup wonder what had happened. His father had described their intimate entanglement; it had been passionate and short-lived, for Kismet had soon after fallen for Inaya, giving her his whole heart. Ridden with guilt, he had gone to find Zira, to explain and plead with her, only to find that she had fallen in love as well. They were both washed over with relief, and had become happy close friends. But Kismet had always wondered what would have happened. Kaze could read it in his father's face as he recounted the story. Afterwards, Kaze could never get his father to speak of it, or that she-wolf again.

For once, the memory of his father didn't send him into an episode, and Kaze was grateful. Slowly, he made his way into the tunnels of the Eye of Fenris. He was determined to find that sinkhole today. He was determined to play in the pure, fresh water as his father had done and dream that someday he could share such an intimate dance with a she-wolf. If any wolfess was stupid enough to love his psychotic brain. Huffing in annoyance, the male took tunnel after tunnel, with absolutely no luck. Why was it so hard to find? Most likely, it was because the very tiny sound of water echoed deceivingly throughout the cavern, leading him in every wrong direction and never in the right direction. He was so focused on his ears and nose alone, that he wasn't paying attention to his vision much and could easily run into anyone who happened to be in his path.

She had only a day or two ago left Rayne's company to venture these tunnels. He'd wanted to come along, but she encouraged him to stay in the open where the sun would keep his body warm. She was used to tunnels, she'd found badger tunnels, fox tunnels and the like and was used to making directional symbols to avoid getting lost. She loved to sit within the tunnels and listen to the water echoing from all around. It was a place of peace and serenity despite it being born of destruction. The water was a tough find, but she's been graced with its sight once before. She knew the way back to that gorgeous view, the water crisp and fresh as it touched her tongue when she needed a mind-clearing drink. The black-maned female was lying only a few minutes walk away from that water now, lying down on the floor of the tunnels on her side, her long legs spread all the way out, relieved that she could stretched her aching joints. Thoughts of the rusty-colored wolf danced before her closed eyes, his voice lacking his stutter, something she so fully over-looked that she didn't even think of it when she heard his voice face-to-face or even in memory. A smile tugged at her black lips.

Footsteps. Her ears perked, the oval sensors picking up the sound of someone coming near. Their steps were heavy, perhaps irritated or tired, if she had to guess. No, too swift to be tired. With a quiet yawn, Lisa gathered her spindly legs and coiled them, releasing the pressure to stand tall on all four feet, her forepaws speckled with brown while her back legs were solidly black. She sniffed at the air, tilting up her head to try and find out which direction the scent was going. One ear swiveled back, the other directed in front of her, the direction Kamikaze was coming. Her yellow eyes slowly were revealed as her eyelids lifted to grant her vision. A visitor, surely not for her, surely for the pool of water. That was fine. These tunnels were twisting, the wolf she was smelling and hearing was surely searching for it. Why else wound they enter the tunnels? She was the only one weird enough to lie in the middle of the tunnels, to fall asleep to the sounds of the world echoing the lullaby of life to her ears. She could help, and whenever she could, she would.

Lisa's feet carried her down the tunnels towards the tunnel's second visitor. When she caught sight of him around the corner, Lisa's body came to a halt and she smiled, her muscles relaxing. "Hello," she called to the wolf who looked so very focused. Probably searching for the pool. She would show him, but he needed to know he had a guide first. He was walking trying to rely on sound and scent, but he was underestimating the tunnels. You couldn't rely on scent or sound down here, doing that would end you up lost and as good as starved. No prey save snakes and lizards lived down here, there was no way to truly survive beneath the plains. "Are you looking for the Fresh Pools?" Lisa asked shortly after alerting the white-furred wolf to her presence. She lifted a paw and stretched her other out, bowing down her head in a very proper greeting.

SPEECH.

Hello.

The sudden sound echoed to his snowy audits and made scared the male slightly. His body shook with a sort of surprised "jump". His head snapped up and his paws slipped on the smooth surface. As a result, the male very quickly fell into a heap on the cavernous floors, tumbling until his body was a tangle of legs and white fur. His tail flew out to catch his balance, and as a result, got caught up in his hind legs as well. Cautiously, the male raised his grey-blue eyes to peer ahead of him. He saw a rather large, tall wolf--at least, she was so big and tall from his view point, as he was rather small--standing in a bend in the cavern ahead. It took him a few minutes to collect and untangle himself before he slowly made it back to his paws. There was no need for him to duck--he could easily stand at his full height--as he wasn't so very big. He cleared his throat--slightly embarrassed--and was about to introduce himself, when his snowy audits perked forwards to catch her question. She was asking if he were looking for the Fresh Pools. Kaze smiled. His father had always referred to it as the Eye of Fenris. For, he would always say, it's like the eye of a hurricane. Outside, it's chaos: destructive, horrifying, and ugly. But inside, once you get to the very essence of the tunnels--the pools--it's the most beautiful and breathtaking thing to ever enter your vision. The maned wolf in front of him gracefully bowed, and he returned the bow with a nod of his head. The small male was still rather awkward socially, although lately his social skills had been forced into action, and were slowly improving.

Clearing his throat audibly, Kaze slowly approached the female. Was she offering to show him the way? Or was she simply asking informationally? Because he did not know the answer to this question, he stopped a few respectful feet away from her. And then he allowed his voice to travel the rest of the distance between them.

Pardon my clutziness, ma'am. My name is Kamikaze, and yes, you are correct. I am in search of the Eye of Fenris: the glory of these beautiful yet infuriating tunnels.

He smiled in a friendly way, hoping that this she-wolf was kind. So far, he had not had the unpleasant experience of a bad wolf's company, but he was always on guard. You never could be too careful.

Lisa had to bite her tongue in order no to laugh as Kamikaze slipped and stumbled over his own paws and fell in a heap of white fur. She lifted a paw and took a tentative step closer to him, watching as he gathered his footing again, trying to stand tall again. She wasn't going to make fun of him, but she could see where others would. Others could sometimes be so cruel... It really was a shame. This male was young, too. Much younger than she herself was, there was no doubt in that. Maybe she could help him from becoming bitter if she showed him extra kindness. No, no special treatment. She'd learned from Rayne that she needed to treat everyone even more equally than she had been, realizing now what difference in age meant - nothing.

As she asked about the Fresh Pools, the snow-pelted male smile, and Lisa knew she'd been right in her assumption. She tried not to act too surprised when the bow she'd offered was returned. He was wonderfully polite, that was refreshing. Few bowed back to her but for a nod of their head anymore. It was nice to see she wasn't the only old-fashioned one anymore, or at least not the only one who knew what it was. She let her tail sway to the side as he righted himself, cleared his throat - a sound that echoed in the tunnels - and tried to excuse himself for stumbling.

"Worry not fair wolf," Lisa giggled, shaking her head slowly. "The rocky ground of this cave is wet and slippery, tis easy to lose thine footing and fall. Thyself has been victim to that fate as well." She admitted, her toes gripping the pebbles underfoot tightly to ensure her own step did not falter. "Thyself has learned many a-trick to keep thy footing in these places. Would thou like to be taught?" She offered, a gentle smile on her features before he brought up the pools, calling them by a new (to her, at least) title. The Eye of Fenris? Like the eye of a storm? How odd... Her yellow eyes wandered through the caves, and after a moment of consideration she nodded to herself, understanding where it came from. The tunnels were drab, and the pools were gorgeous. Yes, they made sense.

Lisa nodded her head for him to follow as she turned around, starting back in the direction she'd come from. "This way, fair Kamikaze. The pools are further down these tunnels. Worry not, the walk is short." She assured him, trotting happily, her tail wagging as her light-hearted mood brightened the dark tunnels. He was a wise kid, and polite. She wouldn't mind his company one bit for this journey to the Pools.
