Confident [Nimue]

[Eve]

The swim to Vor'asa had been child's play. Eve was only mildly irritated with how much water had gotten into her ears during the process. Of course she didn't like the feeling of being drenched with water either but she had managed to make it alive and well. She had been able to avoid any predators in the ocean in the process and she hadn't killed herself so that was a plus. When she had stepped onto the shore of Vor'asa she had been assaulted with many different scents, most that had consisted of Goliath's eldest litter. Eve only knew vaguely of that litter, mostly because she hadn't wasted her time getting acquainted with them. The only other adolescents that she had really spent time with were her own siblings and the pups she liked to call her half siblings- the litter of Goliath and Messoria. Eve knew that her mother and Messoria were basically like sisters, which was why she and her brothers had been so close to Messoria's litter. In fact they were practically raised together. But Eve had caught wind of a change in her mother. She could tell that she wasn't happy, and could sense that Lichen would not be sticking around for much longer. Her mother had spoken about leaving, to find her true calling- but she had told her to stay strong and follow through with any and all of her plans and dreams. Eve shook her head, she didn't even know what she wanted at this point. She knew that she had great potential thanks to her gene pool but she didn't know if she wanted to truly be a part of Kairos any longer. She wanted to explore the world, to explore her options just like her mother before her had done. So when she had actually made it to Vor'asa she felt invigorated to go elsewhere. In fact she didn't even want to partake in the stupid "Agoge". She wanted to do her own thing. Why would she even bother trying to steal an egg anyhow? She had bigger fish to fry- literally.

Eve had made her way from Vor'asa to Delia Basin mostly because she couldn't help but wander. She let her nose guide her and she followed the water. Her large paws dug into the ground as water sloshed over her feet. As she crossed through she could see that the water was teeming with life and it made her stomach growl. She had a huge appetite and what better time then to grab a bite to eat? She sat on her haunches then, watching as the colorful fish darted in and out of the corral reefs. Her stomach growled once more, as if prodding her to go on with her fishing. She continued to watch the fish dart by until finally she lunged, reaching down to only miss the fish by a hair. She slapped at the water with a fore paw out of irritation. I'm going to catch you you know. She snapped down at them as if they were taunting her and in her opinion they were. She was starving! She continued to watch them once more until finally she leaped forward, plunging her whole upper half into the water until finally she came out with a fish in her mouth. HA! She screeched out of pure happiness but forgetting she had the fish in her mouth she dropped it at her feet. Eve lurched forward, landing on top of it and trapping it underneath her paws so it couldn't slip away from her. Not so fast. She muttered before lowering her belly to the ground. She stretched out and then dug in, her canines ripping at the delicate flesh of the fish. The taste was amazing and she couldn't help but pick the bone clean. Afterward she chewed on the carcass just for fun before tossing it over for the gulls to pick up. She laid for a few moments, licking her chops and breathing a sigh of relaxation. Oh what to do.. She questioned, though not before a vaguely familiar scent crossed her path. Nimue? All the way out here...? She stood up then, her hulking frame much larger than any average wolf despite the fact she was a female. She glanced around her until she saw the tiny speck of a form in the distant. Hey stranger! She barked to catch her attention before jogging in her direction. Eve was just as curious as ever to figure out why Nimue was all the way out here, especially considering the fact that Nimue strictly wasn't into this whole "warrior thing."

[Nimue]

It was just after Nimue and her sister, Morrigan, had separated for the second time – intentionally, albeit – that the large femme found herself wandering through unclaimed territory, sandwiched between two prominent borders. To one side of her lay Vor’asa, claimed by Kairos, a place that Nimue had no intention of traveling too when she had departed permanently from Ina’mos only days before. To the other side, Valyn, where she’d been debating traveling to for some time now. An idea had formed between she and Morrigan, just an inkling at first that steadily grew and flourished until it had settled in Nimue’s very bones. Together, they would scour Anikira, finding those who wished more than anything for a home, a place where they truly belonged. From there…well, Nimue was not sure. It was only a thought, an idea, but she knew that it was the right path for the sisters to walk.

It is so quiet here, she thought as she walked, navigating the deep recess in the earth. It had always been so noisy upon Ina’mos, a cacophony of life that was silenced only when sleep found the island. It was so different, being on her own, though not exactly in a bad way. It made her feel…mature. Grown up. And in a way, she nearly was. She’d grown considerably until she towered over even her mother and her smallest sister, though she was by no means the largest femme born of Kairos. Morrigan had continued to grow past Nimue’s own impressive height, and she recalled the fae who she’d grown up alongside – Eve – had done the same.

”Hey stranger!”

As if Nimue’s thoughts alone had conjured the femme, the voice came from behind her and she whirled. There was no mistaking the large ebony form that was hurrying towards her, and for a moment, a pang of worry surged through Nimue. A heartbeat later, it was gone; Eve couldn’t have known that Nimue and Morrigan had left yet, not if she’d been upon Vor’asa, and even if she did, there was no anger in her expression. Nimue and her siblings had grown up alongside Eve’s litters, for Messoria and Lichen had been good friends. Out of all of Lichen’s brood, Eve was the one that Nimue had spent the most time with. She was a bit of a pushy femme, but Nimue was kind and patient, and their combined qualities evened one another out. As Eve drew nearer Nimue’s tail began to wag slowly, her muzzle stretching into a smile.

”Eve,” she greeted the larger fae, finding that she was suddenly glad to see her. While it was nice having her freedom, it did not mean that Nimue did not miss her friends. ”How is the agoge going for you?” She asked. Very few females were allowed to attend the agoge, with Lilith being the first granted permission and Eve the second. Nimue had never much cared for battle or glory despite her size, but she’d always known Eve would do well with her size and fiery spirit on her side.

[Eve]

Eve strolled up to the female, her strides making her appear similar to a panther as she sauntered forward. Nimue was close in size to Eve herself, except for the minor fact that Eve hovered above her. Aside from height Nimue had her beat in bulk- the female could definitely carry her own in a fight if need be. But that was what made Nimue so different from herself; she didn't care for fighting. Even when they were younger she wasn't too keen on play fighting but she did it for Eve's sake. Whether just to humor her or to help her hone her skills Eve was not sure. She could not help the easy smile that appeared on her face the closer she got to the littermate. Eve could significantly say that Nimue was considered a sister, even if they were not related by blood. Their mothers had been close and had raised them together, which had resulted in the equally close relationship between these two. Eve pulled her haunches beneath her, plopping her hindquarters down to sit as she let her gaze fall on Nimue's face. Eve. How is the agoge going for you? Eve tilted her head to the side for a second as it to contemplate her response before speaking. Pleasant now that I've left it. Her words were blunt and she couldn't help but chuckle at them afterwards.

She looked at Nimue then, expecting to see disappointment in her blue optics. She however did not see such emotions and instead let herself truly look at her sister for a moment. What exactly was she doing out here? She frowned for a moment, was something wrong? Wait a second.. What are you doing out here? Is everything okay back on Ina'mos? Confusion and concern caused her brow to furrow for a moment as she stared, waiting for some kind of reaction from the female. What other reason would she be this far out.. Unless she was leaving. It dawned on her just as soon as she thought it and her eyes widened. Are you..leaving? Her tail began to wag slowly as the wheels turned in her brain and she began to connect the dots. It was then that she knew for sure. Wherever she was going, she would accompany her. Despite her size Nimue wasn't a violent wolf and Eve couldn't stand to see something happen her. Besides that who would want to pick a fight with two monstrous females anyways? Fighting was her ordeal and she wouldn't hesitate to offer protection to her sister. Listen wherever it is your going I'm coming to. I won't let anything happen to you.. Plus it blows staying here. It was typical for Eve to be headstrong and stubborn. A lot of times others compared her to a bull, especially when angered. She stared at Nimue before flashing her one of her goofy smiles- there was no way she could say no.

”Pleasant now that I've left it.”

Nimue blinked, ears swiveling atop her skull as she turned in the direction that Eve had come from as if she might see the warriors of Kairos descending upon them as they spoke. A moment later she glanced away, feeling foolish; of course no one would know that Eve had left the agoge, not yet, and even so, it was not as if Nimue had not recently left as well. She was being foolish, her old pack mentality still lodged firmly in her skull. One day, she told herself, she would shed it. One day she would no longer be looking over her shoulder despite the blessing she had received from her father and mother, whose love had been so strong that they’d stood side-by-side and offered each other support as their daughters had departed. It was a strange thing to consider, Messoria offering Goliath support as well as the other way around. And while Nimue knew that Morrigan was more critical of the relationship, the young femme could not help but admire the way the couple had given and taken – exchanging strength, exchanging softness, exchanging love. Nimue would never belong in a harem, but that did not mean there was not things to be learned from her impressive parentage.

”Wait a second.. What are you doing out here? Is everything okay back on Ina'mos?”

Oh, Nimue thought with no small amount of distress. Of course Eve would think something was wrong – she should have clarified far sooner, and an assurance that all was well – specifically Eve’s mother, the last Nimue had heard – sprung to her maw. But before she could make a sound, Eve was speaking again, tail wagging wildly behind her ebony frame.

”Are you..leaving? Listen wherever it is your going I'm coming to. I won't let anything happen to you.. Plus it blows staying here.”

And just like that, Nimue’s thoughts and plans had been laid barren before her childhood friend…but instead of scorn and anger, she was instead met with excitement. Eve wanted to come with them? Nimue had always thought that the femme would complete the agoge and remain upon Ina’mos as a fierce female warrior…but it seemed it was not to be so. Unable to stop herself, Nimue smiled, but a moment later it slid from her muzzle.

”Eve…are you certain?” She asked softly. ”Goliath – and my mother, of course – has given us his blessing. We will not be hunted, but…it is a big decision to make.” She shrugged, grasping at words to explain the situation. ”Morrigan and I left together. We were split up unwilling by the ocean, but we found each other again, and when we did…an idea formed. If there is interest, we’d like to gather others. To make a home of our own.” She did smile then, not daring to let it fade. It was radiant and pure, her eyes sparkling with mirth and pride. ”If you are sure, we would love to have you join us.”

[Eve]

Eve and Nimue had always been close even though they weren't born from the same parents. Their mothers had been extremely close since the beginning and had practically raised them together. Nimue had been one of the only ones in Mother Messoria's litter that had tolerated her boisterous personality. But that wasn't the only thing she had offered Eve as young pups. She had offered her friendship, love, and comfort. Eve considered Nimue more of a sibling then her own blood siblings. In fact, Theseus and Imre had both vanished into the wind just like her mother. Eve couldn't help but feel spited and personally highly irritated. Her entire family had abandoned her and the only ones who had ever offered her unconditional support weren't even blood relatives. Eve's gaze had hardened as she thought of her relatives, her anger boiling but it quickly vanished when Nimue's voice broke through her cloud of thoughts. Eve....are you certain? Goliath – and my mother, of course – has given us his blessing. We will not be hunted, but…it is a big decision to make. Eve paused for a second, letting this go over before she responded, her head held high. That's enough permission for me since both of my parents have abandoned me. There was the slightest hint of hurt in the female's words before it was instantly gone. Eve hardly showed weakness and although she trusted Nimue she didn't want to appear soft before the female. Morrigan and I left together. We were split up unwilling by the ocean, but we found each other again, and when we did…an idea formed. If there is interest, we’d like to gather others. To make a home of our own. Eve's ears perked up then, if Nimue was speaking of what she was thinking then this idea was far better than anything she had heard of in a very long time.

Her tail slowly began to wag behind her large form and her tongue lolled from her mouth as she began to pant gently with excitement. The idea of being in an entirely new pack that consisted of her two sisters was the best thing she had heard in a very long time. If you are sure, we would love to have you join us. She couldn't help but smile at Nimue, completely flattered that she had received a formal invitation. There is nothing keeping me attached to Kairos. My real family is out here with you and Morrigan. She spoke with sure vocals, her eyes meeting with Nimue's gaze. At first all she could see was the image of Goliath and she could only imagine how his face had looked when Nimue and Morrigan had broken the news to him and Messoria- but that would be far behind them all now. Even though he had given his blessing Eve realized that she would protect Nimue against him, especially if they did come back for vengenance. It was strange how much she cared for Nimue though not in a weird way- it was simple really. She was the only family Eve had left in this world and she would lay her own life on the line if it meant protecting her- the same went for Morrigan. They had grown up together and she owed them that. She had made a vow and she would do whatever necessary to not only protect them but to protect her new pack. Let's go find us some recruits. She said with a wide grin before stepping forward to nudge Nimue with her muzzle affectionately. Her tongue reached out to caress her nape before she did something she had never done to anyone.. With a very regal motion Eve lowered herself to the ground before Nimue, showing her utmost respect and submission to the female. She reached up to nuzzle underneath her chin before returning to her full height. It was a done deal now, there would be no going back.
