Here Goes Nothing {Joining/Open}

[Genesis]

The past few months had been rough for the lone female. She was having seizures more often than normal, and she couldn't figure out why. Usually, it was while she was hunting, so she assumed that the rapid changes from light to shade and back to light over and over again was causing her to have small seizures. She didn't think they lasted long... It was never long enough for her to really notice, and she had yet to have someone find her during one, but she supposed that she had just been getting lucky. She needed to find a pack or a companion of some kind that could take care of her when she went down. She couldn't feel them coming on, so she couldn't prepare for them either. And it wasn't like she could stop hunting... She had to live. She did, however feel a reluctance to hunt, though, and it was the reason why she was starting to lose weight. She had noticed the weight loss, energy loss, and just the fact that she had less strength, and so she set out to find a pack of some kind or someone that would want to take care of her... That seemed to be hard to come by, though... At least, a decent pack with good intentions seemed to be hard to come by. Rumors reached her of the giants that ruled the west, and while they might offer good protection, their morals and methods were... Sickening.

And so the female had headed east where she found the lands of I'queyer. The lands were unclaimed, and Genesis was unsure that anyone was able to claim them. They were so large, and it was common knowledge around the island that loners were often seen there. So many loners, in fact, that it might as well have been known as loner territory. The young wolf sighed as she walked through the lands, head hanging low as she walked on. She was exhausted from her long journey, and she was happy to finally be in the loner lands. It was not long, however, that she found herself at the mouth of a huge cavern. Her parents had spoken to her of the cave wolves that lived on the eastern side of the island, but she had never believed them. Only stories, right. She stared at the large entrance to the cave, ears perked forward with interest. She had no idea that a cave this large could even exist on the Earth. What could have possibly caused such a massive entrance? Curiously, she stepped forward, placing just a single paw on the rock of the cavern entrance. A single bark left her maw, though she didn't hear an echo like she had expected and wanted. She frowned a little, and peered into the cavern a little further, taking another step inside. She knew she was intruding, but she wanted to meet these mysteries cave wolves... Perhaps they would be able to offer her a home.

[Fury]

Life was a funny thing. It's like floating down a river peacefully, then all of a sudden the water that cradles your body drops off abruptly. A waterfall that leaves you flailing and sputtering for air. The brute had hit a waterfall when his withdrawal symptoms drove him away from his pack. Ultoris was his home, it was his child, and he most certainly would not have abandoned it unless it was his only option. A waterfall always smooths back out, though, and that seemed to be the stage he was at now - not completely comfortable yet, but not in grave danger either. Severus allowed him to return to Aleru and be a part of the pack again, but he still didn't feel completely welcomed.

It was understandable, though, for his former pack mate to be skeptical. Fury had disappeared completely without a single warning or farewell, which wasn't exactly honorable or expected behavior for an alpha. He was still becoming readjusted to the pack lifestyle, and he hadn't had the chance to reconnect with the other members at all yet, but he guessed their reactions would be similar. He had many plans for his new second chance in Ultoris, and he longed to begin the processes as soon as he could. And that would eventually require interaction with his peers.

One of these plans was more personal than for the greater good of the community, although this could be debated either way. The Arctic male wanted an heir. It had always been a priority for him, especially during his short-lived time as alpha. It was his main desire to have an offspring who could respectably take over Ultoris for him when he could no longer, but obviously these plans had not played out correctly. Still, he wanted another to follow in his legacy. The canine was reaching the older years of life, so this desire was even higher on his mind lately. If he wanted children, he would need to act quickly while also being sure not to rush anything. His children's dam needed to suit his expectations, or else it would all be a waste of time and effort, in his eyes.

His train of thought was suddenly interrupted by a sharp barking noise coming from the very direction of the mouth of Aleru. Without a second thought, he headed in the direction of the call. It was out of habit, truly, to remain close enough to the border to hear sounds such as this one, and to see to the origin of the noise in order to learn its intentions. Upon arriving, he immediately saw the source of the bark. A brown and tan hued female with unique coat patterns that weren't too much for the eye was standing on the very edge of Ultoris's boundaries. He approached her calmly, noticing her piercing green orbitals from a fair distance away. She was easy on the eyes, but that didn't explain why she was so close to trespassing. "Greetings, miss. It seems that you have found Aleru, the home of Ultoris - a pack to which I hold proud membership," he started, his voice holding his natural pride and sense of authority. It was difficult for him not to introduce himself as alpha, but he would have to retrain his brain to do this now. "I am called Fury, who might you be?" he inquired, his ears perked and awaiting a reply from the Valley female.

ooc notes: I tried to keep things vague because his joining thread hasn't finished quite yet, so that might be why this sucks.. But this is so exciting!! c:

[Genesis]

Genesis truly had meant to trespass, though not because she wanted to fight. She was curious about the cave, and if seeing what it contained meant trespassing, then she supposed that that was what she was going to do. She hadn't really trespassed upon the pack's territory. Really, only her front two paws had crossed the line of marked lands. So she was not actually trespassing... And any pack that was going to run her off for just stepping curiously into the lands, no harm intended, could be an enemy of hers for all she cared. They weren't going to be any pack that she would associate herself with anyway. Peering into the darker shadows of the cave, the emerald green eyes of the wolf caught movement, though she couldn't tell what the movement was. Tilting her head, her ears perked forward as she tried to catch the movement again. It wasn't a large movement, so the young female guessed that it was some smaller animal. No wolf could have been that small. Unless it was a pup... In which case, Genesis was concerned that the pup was not near to a mother... Although, she could have just not seen the mother yet. And suddenly, more movement caught her eyes. This time, larger, and growing larger as it came towards her.

Now, all being said before about Genesis not being concerned about intruding into the pack's territory, that did not mean that when she saw a larger male wolf approaching her, she didn't take a step back. In fact, she took several quick steps back just to make sure she was far enough out of the lands that she would no longer be considered an intruder. Bright emerald eyes looked over the male as he grew closer and then stopped before her. He appeared friendly, though... Or, at least, he appeared to not be hostile. When he spoke, she relaxed some. He was greeting her and not trying to run her off. At least, not yet, though she hoped that he wouldn't at all. He was pretty good looking, though he looked a little older... Not that that mattered. She wondered if he was the alpha, but even as he introduced himself, there was no message of ranking which she would have assumed would have proudly accompanied his name if he had been the alpha. “Good day, Fury. My name is Genesis. Lovely cave you live in... Aleru, you called it?” She said, peering inside again.

[Fury]

Watching the borders was always an everyday custom to Fury. He had always been taught the importance of the invisible markings, and he took this importance to heart to this day. Respecting one's borders was very much expected of any self respecting canid, as without this type of respect, all chaos would break loose in the world. Boundaries of all kinds were in place to keep order, and one of these boundaries was scent markings. He believed that this female's intentions were not to trespass, for she had not entirely entered Ultoris territory, and for this reason the brute disregarded the subject of trespassing entirely so as not to spark unnecessary conflict.

The curiosity in the female's emerald eyes pleased Fury. To this day, he was proud of himself for choosing such a unique and beneficial territory for his pack. Not only did it provide proper protection from the elements of nature, but it also seemed to be an extremely useful base at the possible time of war. Its secluded nature could be seen as both positive and negative depending on the situation at hand, but the male would have rather liked the positive end for obvious reasons.

"Well, miss Genesis, it is a splendid home indeed. Although it can be nice to return to daylight every once in a while," he pondered, having to squint only slightly to gaze out onto the horizon of the surrounding lands. By know, his eyes were accustomed to adjusting between broad sunshine and dim cave settings several times a day. Despite his love for Aleru and the pack within, the solace and comforting feeling of the sun shining down onto his black pelt and warming his body was never a bad thing. It was healthy to get out for a bit to experience new things that weren't possible in the depths of the underground.

Turning back to the pretty wolfess from his short period of silence, he inquired nearly emotionlessly, "What has brought you to the edge of my beloved home today?" He did not mean for this question to be rude, but it was his duty as an honorable Ultoris member to discover the intentions of any wolf who was in a very close vicinity of Aleru. It was for the safety of the pack, and it was no laughing matter.

[Genesis]

Genesis knew some of the rules of pack life, but she was unfamiliar with everything. She knew that borders were a big thing that needed to be respected, but she had just been so curious about the cave that she had stepped inside the pack's territory. She hadn't really meant to... It had just kind of happened. She wondered if the male was going to get mad at her or scold her for crossing into his territory uninvited. He seemed to be acting relatively nice towards her, but she supposed that it could all be a front. She mentally brushed the thought away, though, glancing over him briefly before she focused her attention back on the cave behind him. She wanted to ask him if she could take a look around... But she figured that might be a strange request coming from a stranger. If it was a home she sought, however, she was almost certain that she would get it. She knew that packs were constantly searching for new members to build their strength, and to have one practically fall right into them was probably a blessing. At least, that was what Genesis was hoping. In reality, they could have been perfectly happy with their numbers and want nothing to do with her. But if that were the case, wouldn't the male have run her off by now? Unless he was just interested in talking to her... Poor dear doesn't know what he'd be dealing with... She thought as she focused her gaze back onto him for a moment. Indeed, if he was interested in her, that would change the first time she had a seizure. Her own family had left her. Why would this male be any different?

Her ears flicked toward Fury as he spoke, sparking even more curiosity within her. Was it really that dark in the cave? Or were there breaks in the cave walls that allowed some light to get through? "Is it truly that dark in there? Do you have no light? Do you never see sunlight unless you come out here? That must be a hard thing to do, especially if you're used to wandering a lot..." She said, the curiosity obvious in her emerald green eyes as she spoke and shifted her gaze from the dark male to the cave once more. She wanted so badly to venture inside, but she knew that at least finishing the conversation first would be the polite thing to do. Her attention was drawn back to reality when the male spoke again, and she frowned slightly. She really wasn't sure what had brought her to Aleru. Honestly, she had just been wandering around. She supposed that that was going to have to be her answer, no matter how boring it sounded. "Well... I have been travelling alone for some time now... When my family left me, the only advice my mother could give was to find a pack. There have been rumors of the pack in the west, and some are not good. So I left there and ventured this way. I know you cave wolves are allied with the west pack, but I was too curious about your home that I had to get closer... But now that I meet one of you, I'm starting to wonder if I was mislead about the pack wolves..." She shook her head as she spoke, giving a small smile. "Don't let me ramble, dear Fury. I mustn't talk your ears off if I have any hope of... Maybe joining this pack?"

"speech."

[Fury]

The masculine brute couldn't help the wise grin that came upon his maw as he watched curiosity take over the younger canine. The way her emerald eyes glimmered and her muddy hued ears perked in interest caused his chest to expand with some kind of pride. He remembered feeling exactly this way when he first came across Aleru, and although he was quite accustomed to it by now, he knew that giant cave systems were not a common occurrence in a place such as Anikira. He didn't blame her for showing her curiosity, in fact it was just this that pulled the male in to the female. If she was so intrigued and questioning life in the caves already, maybe she would look to join Ultoris's ranks. Not to get too ahead of himself, Fury replied to her innocent question respectfully, "Glow worms give off enough light to make things visible, and eyes do adjust to the lack of light with time. Life is nowhere near impossible in the caves, but it can never truly compare to the genuine warmth and luminosity of the sun." He didn't wish to contradict himself - he did love his home dearly, but everything had its downsides. Thankfully, sunlight was never far away if he was ever craving its warm embrace while wandering the territory.

Listening attentively to her explanation, a few points were brought to the aging brute's attention. Why did her family abandon her? The question brought up a small red flag in his mind, but instead of pressing the poor solitary wolfess for personal information, he decided to disregard this subject entirely and perhaps return to it at a later time. Her pure honesty was appreciated, and Fury was nearly certain that her intentions were not malicious in any form, in fact she had even come to the point of requesting membership in Ultoris. This especially perked the Arctic's interest, as a growing population within his pack meant the possibility of great benefits and improvements could gradually be implemented. 

Upon a first impression, Genesis was highly qualified to be inducted into Ultoris. She was respectful and polite, yet she had a unique personality that would set her apart from the others; one that Fury could not yet fully understand, but he hoped he someday would. Individuality was praised and even encouraged within the pack, so the fact that this she-wolf showed such great potential drew the black canine in further. So, with a light dip of his large head, he addressed her confidently, "The pack to the west is called Kairos, and although I cannot speak for them, I can tell you that Ultoris is honorable and just in their actions. However we clearly have ties to Kairos that should not be broken, so if you prefer to avoid the situation, I could respect your descision to walk away." The scarred canine paused to allow his words to sink in and give her a chance to speak up if she decided that she did in fact wish to leave. Disrespect to an allied pack was just as unacceptable as to ones own pack to the traditional male that the subject would not be taken lightly.

When he felt he was ready to continue, Fury said, "I do believe that you would fit in nicely here. The only factor that could change my mind would be your ability to support Ultoris as a whole. What skills do you have that could contribute to the pack?" Adding dead weight to the pack would not be smiled upon by his alpha, so the brute wanted to be sure this female had something to offer. Thus far, she seemed almost too good to be true - with good nature, honesty, respect and a strong build that appeared as if it could definitely sustain itself. The only question was, is Genesis prepared to be a part of a working pack of wolves?

[Genesis]

The young female was a little concerned with joining a pack. After all, with her seizures, what could she possibly offer for the pack? Usually, it was only during storms, but she had had one once as she was running through the trees after prey. She didn't even want to think of what would happen if she got into a fight and had one. She would probably end up dying...She could, however, gather. She had learned a lot from her mother when it came to what berries could be eaten and what plants helped with wound healing. She could be a healer or an assistant to a healer if they already had one... But she supposed that she was getting ahead of herself. She hadn't even been invited into the pack. What if they didn't want her? She doubted they would care to take her in with her condition, but she supposed that she ought to try. Perking her ears, Genesis listened to Fury's reply to her question. "Glow worms...? I've never seen those. They sound... Unique." She said, tilting her head slightly in curiosity. She wanted to see these glow worms. She wondered how much light a single one gave off and how many of them there would have to be to light the entire working of caverns. Though Genesis had not been inside, she figured that the cave system was huge to hold a pack. "What about hunting? Do you hunt in there too? What other kinds of animals live in the cave? That's a very interesting way of life..." She meant that in a good way, of course. She wondered if she would fit in with life in the caves. Maybe, if they hunted in the caves, she would be able to hunt again because there wouldn't be any flashing of light as she ran.

The male's words of the pack in the west -she now knew as Kairos- were neither kind nor unkind towards the wolves. He did, however, clarify that this pack was just in what they did, which made Genesis a little more comfortable with the fact that she might ask for entrance into the pack. "Of course. I understand pack ties must never be broken, and I would never dream of doing anything to break the ties this pack has with Kairos... I was merely stating that it is... Not the pack for me." She explained politely, watching him with her emerald green eyes. Part of her wished that she would not have said negative things about the Kairos pack, but she was fairly certain that she had disclosed that they were just rumors she had heard. As Genesis heard his next words, her tail slowly started to wag, her ears perking forward excitedly and head raising slightly. It was then that she heard his next set of words. What could she offer the pack? As soon as she heard the question, her head dropped slightly and her ears flicked backwards, thinking. "Well, Fury... I am fairly good at gathering, and I know which plants are good for healing wounds and sickly wolves. Unfortunately, my hunting and fighting abilities are limited." She didn't want to explain any further because she was afraid that he would turn her away if he knew what was wrong with her. But she also knew that she had to be honest. "I have a condition where I have seizures sometimes." She said softly, looking at the ground, half waiting for him to send her off then and there.

[Fury]

A small, goodhearted chuckle erupted from somewhere inside of the brute. This wolfess's pure and genuine inquisitiveness pleased him tremendously. The yearning for information and learning was an admirable trait in a potential pack mate, so Fury didn't mind answering any of Genesis's newfound questions. "Hunting can be a bit difficult - the cave-dwelling creatures are often elusive and quick, though most of us are able to get the hang of it. Our other options include hunting larger prey in I'queyer, an unclaimed land directly to the south. We make do just fine with what we have," he replied earnestly, truly not bothered by the overabundance of the female's questions. The information she asked for was nothing that she could use against Ultoris, and the Beta already trusted that this female had only the most positive of intentions. Unless she was some kind of master manipulator and actress, he was fairly certain he was not wrong to trust her.

The younger wolf's compliance to his statements regarding Kairos also brought him contentment. He himself had not been around during the time of the formation of the alliance, but he continued to back it up one hundred percent. Not only for the sole purpose of remaining reliably loyal to Ultoris, but also because he saw the strategy of the alliance itself. Kairos was gigantic, and so were the wolves within it. He couldn't say that he completely agreed with all of the things that they did, but he could certainly agree that being on their side of things would be better than the opposite.

Pure excitement was what his yellow orbitals observed while watching the other canine's expression - she was excited about the opportunity she had been given. This reaction was slightly curbed, however, as she began to think about what she could contribute. Fury was glad she was taking this answer seriously enough to think out a proper response. "Our shaman, Mythril, could test your skills and put you to good work," he said, though he had never met the pack's shaman. He had heard that the other shaman, Vixen, who also happened to be Severus's mate was missing. This concerned him, but he was sure Mythril was capable of overseeing the healing aspects of the pack's duties by herself. He also guessed that an extra set of paws could be a very well appreciated addition. 

Just as he was about to open his muzzle and say the words "welcome to Ultoris," Genesis threw him a new twist in the situation. Apparently, she had a condition that induced seizures. He could tell that she was ashamed of this, though he wasn't completely sure why this was true. To him, he didn't see what the big problem was, although he did admit he wasn't very knowledgeable in the realm of seizures or anything of the sort actually. "That is no reason to be ashamed, sweet Genesis," he replied in the most tender manner that he could manage, although his voice was still gruff as it usually was. "We cannot control the body and circumstances we were given, and we can't let this stop us from being our best," he paused for another moment, considering his next words carefully. "I do not know much at all about your condition, but I do know that Ultoris would never turn you away because of it. We, or at least I, will watch over you carefully to make sure you are safe if that is what you need," he added genuinely, "Welcome to our ranks."

His final statement was very blunt and to the point, but he didn't think he needed to elaborate any more. Genesis was certainly welcome as long as she had not been lying about being able to contribute to the pack sufficiently. She was courteous, capable, and very much willing to learn. She was the 'picture perfect' example of what Ultoris looks for in a wolf, despite her condition. And no, the brute did not believe this only because of her appealing appearance which had also made itself quite apparent.

[Genesis]

Genesis never thought that she would get to this moment... Standing here, greeted by a pack wolf, and on the edge of being accepted into the pack. The only thing preventing her from getting into the pack -at least, the only thing that she could think of- was her condition that would limit her ability to do much of anything other than gather. Even a gatherer could be risky because if she was out away from the pack and had a seizure episode, someone could come up and kill her instantly. If she wanted to stay completely safe forever -or at least as safe as she possibly could- she would have to have someone with her at all times. She was like a needy little pup, always needing to be around an adult or at least someone that would be able to fend off danger or go get help. The thought made her start to second guess her entry into the pack. She wasn't wanting to be a burden. She really did want to help the pack in any way that she could, but if she was going to need a companion to travel with her any time she went out, she would be taking someone away from another job that could be getting done. But it wasn't like her attacks happened randomly. So far it had only been with rapid changes of dark and light. Genesis quickly focused her attention back onto Fury when he responded to her question about the hunting. That was pretty cool. From the sounds of it, Genesis might even be able to hunt in these caverns... As long as she wouldn't be running through patches of light back into patches of dark, she thought that she would probably be okay. "Maybe you could show me sometime... How to hunt, I mean." She said, looking over him with a questioning tilt of her head. If she could hunt, she certainly wanted to do it for the pack. If she was invited in, of course.

He spoke of the shaman and how she would be able to evaluate her, and Genesis only nodded, agreeing to being tested for her usefulness. After all, she only wanted to help the pack. If she couldn't even help the shaman, she wasn't sure what she would be able to do. She couldn't keep her condition hidden from him, though. She had to be honest if she wanted any relationship with the pack and it's members, and they were going to need to know about the condition if they were going to care for her properly. Besides that, she didn't want them to freak out the first time they saw her have a seizure. She was fairly certain that it wasn't a pretty sight, and it was definitely scary for someone who wasn't used to it. And so she told the older wolf of her condition. Expecting him to reject her entrance into the pack, she sulked back a little, even taking a step like she was going to turn and walk away. The male surprised her, though. He only had kind words to say to her, even promising to protect her. He even called her sweet... How kind of him. The female could barely contain her excitement, bounding forward until she was right up beside him, moving to rub her head up under his chin before stopping herself before she ever made contact. She had to contain herself a little. Taking several steps back, she bowed her head to the male. "Thank you, sir... Thank you so much... I will do what I can to help this pack thrive. If I am only being a burden, people tell me. I don't want to harm the pack." She explained, holding in her excitement for now, the only sign of her happiness coming from the wagging of her tail. "I assume this means you are the alpha? Alphas are the ones that accept wolves into the pack, right?" She said, firing even more questions at him. She was intelligent and learned quickly, but this was her first true encounter with a pack. Everything that she assumed about them came from stories that she had been told. She had no idea was was fact or fantasy.

[Fury]

New blood coming into Ultoris was the only thing that would keep it alive and thriving. Fury knew this very well. He also knew the dangers of letting new members in, being the victim of betrayal time and time again in his early life. For this reason, trust was not easy to come by coming from the night colored brute. He has adapted himself in a way that has a thick, sturdy wall that stood strong between his emotions and his day to day duties. It works well for him, and it allows little room for mistakes or poor judgement decisions. 

He nodded once in agreement to Genesis's suggestion that he teach her to hunt the cave dwelling prey at some point. Not only would it give him the chance to share his depths of knowledge and tricks that he had accumulated over some time, but it might help him feel more socially integrated within the pack. Since returning, he had few interactions with the other members so far. All of the ones he once knew - excluding Severus of course - were gone, their fates completely unknown to the male. Captain, his beta - whom at first Fury believed to be alive, but later he discovered that the current beta with the same name was not the same brute he had known. Widow, the deadly assassin. And several others that he had not gotten to know nearly as well as he had hoped before he was forced to leave. Despite his somewhat stern and stoic nature, he did care for each member of Ultoris and was concerned for their physical and emotional well being. He only hoped the others were safe somewhere - and that he could make some knew bonds with his current peers soon.

A warm smile appeared when the other wolf expressed her gratefulness to him. Really, he didn't think he was the one who deserved thanking. Hopefully, the rest of the pack would also take her in well and provide secure protection and care for the troubled she wolf. She would find happiness here, he was sure. Her condition might be a hurdle that needs to be cleared, but it wasn't an obstacle that they couldn't deal with. The Valley wolf would not harm the pack in any way, as long as she continued to make herself useful as a gatherer and remained respectful and courteous to the others.

Her next question struck something inside of him, and his throat tightened and felt as if it had been twisted into a tight knot. It was still a fresh wound it seemed, and Genesis had unknowingly reopened it. Being an alpha was Fury's place, it was his calling. His short time as one had been the time at which he had felt most comfortable and at peace with himself. When he came back, he didn't expect to be reinstated to his position, but it was still hard for him to face the fact that he was not ultimately in charge. Being who he was, though, the brute was completely in debt to Severus and respected the way he ran Ultoris and would not betray him nor his wishes.

Standing more stiffly than before, the yellow eyed male replied, "The alpha of Ultoris is a brute known as Severus; I am one of your two betas, the second in command to the alpha." Although it pained him to say this and leave out the fact that Ultoris was his own creation, he did it with complete dignity and respect to the other leaders of his pack. He loved this pack as if it was his own child, for he didn't yet have any live offspring of his own. That was something else he wanted, but the clock was slowly ticking on and he knew he needed to act soon if he wanted to pass his legacy onto the next generation.

ooc notes: I don't know how much longer you want this thread to go on.. maybe one or two more posts from each of us? Then we can start another one if you'd like <3

[Genesis]

Genesis had a lot to learn about pack life before she would ever be able to truly fit in. And even then, it would be difficult for her to be accepted by a lot of the pack. With her condition... What would they think of her? Surely they wouldn't all be as accepting as Fury was. That had to be rare to find a wolf that was so... Seemingly understanding. Why couldn't her parents have been that way? Maybe she would still have a family if they had understood her... Understood that she wasn't a burden or a monster for having a condition. In fact, wasn't it their fault anyway? They were the ones that had created her! Really, she was not to blame for her misfortune. She had been cursed... So unlucky since even before birth, it seemed. But now... She would be starting a new chapter of her life... A new life, she supposed. She was excited, but also a little nervous. This male... Fury, he seemed nice. If he was anything at all a reflection of his pack, then she should be in good shape. If they were all as kind and generous as he was, then surely her new start to life would turn out to be a good one. Perhaps, even, she would grow to love a kind soul in the pack and produce tiny bundles of fluff. That was a wish that she hoped would be granted... But it was long in the future, that was for sure. No male, she was sure, could charm her enough for that in just one meeting. Besides that, the only one of the pack that she had met was Fury... Though... He was a very handsome older wolf.

Genesis found her eyes drifting over him, and she quickly averted them, looking behind him instead to examine the darkness of the caverns. She wanted to see the glow worms... They sounded marvelous. Such a sight, she was sure... Like one million stars, but much much closer to the earth. She wanted to know everything, really... She wanted to see everything. She knew that as soon as she was given a moment alone, she would be exploring her new home. This place... This cave... It was home now. She would have to get used to thinking that. It was a little strange to her, to think that her previous life with her family had ended in a cave, and now her new life with her new family was starting in a cave... A little like... Fate? That surely wasn't the word for it, but Genesis just couldn't seem to put a word the the coincidence. Her eyes looked up to Fury as he explained that he was not the alpha of the pack, as she had originally thought. Instead, he was a beta. Easy enough... At least she knew what those two terms meant. Anything else, and she would surely be lost. "Well it is a pleasure to serve you, Beta Fury. I look forward to serving the pack as best I can..." She replied with a small bow, moving to take a small step to the side so she had a clearer view of the cavern. She wanted to explore so badly, but she knew that she should probably wait until Fury gave her a tour or dismissed her to do freely whatever she wanted.
