Lullabies and Alibis[Open]

[rosli]

The rain was beginning to fall upon these lands. The rain drops large and productive to their cause. It was good for the lands, it would revive any parched plants and feed their cousins needy appetite. Plants were amazing creatures put on their earth. They fed the prey animals of the lands, but also posed as a remedy to ailing predators. They could sustain life, heal or hinder, and at times even cause death.

It was the death part that fascinated Rosli, it always had. As paws made their way through the now muddy lands, her thoughts drifted. Names of plants and their effects on the wolf body crossing her mind. Nightshade... The dainty female thought. It was one of her favorites, not only did it usually render the victim helpless as they suffered, it was potentially deadly. A small smirk played across her features.

These lands pleased her. The plant life was plentiful and therefore she could only assume that the prey was as well. It also made these lands very resourceful, the plant life that is. Rosli had yet to see any wolves yet, and could only guess that they had taken shelter during the inclement weather. The small female could only hope that she would soon find someone to keep her company. After all Kalic was no longer with her, she needed a new protector and friend to keep her company. Someone to wrap her flirtatious self around and get them to do her bidding.

The rain began to fall with more ferocious, causing the small female to flatten her ears and narrow her emerald gaze. Pausing beneath a small shrub, Rosli glanced around for cover. A clap of thunder shaking the lands, as lightening lite up the dark and gloomy night. In the flash a opening presented itself to the fragile looking female. The heavy rainfall soaked through her mahogany colored fur, chilling her core temperature a bit as her body heat escaped.

Entering the dark cavern, her dark emerald gaze glancing around to check for occupants. The shelter from the rain was relief, but she knew she would have to take cover from the breeze and attempt to dry herself. Giving her mahogany and black pelt a thorough shake, Rosli looked for cover. The females gaze fell upon a large stalagmite and with a huff she knew it was going to be a long and cold night. Settling behind the pillar the delicately built female began to run her tongue through her fur, to get the excess water from it. Thunder storms did not bother, her but the lack of company was beginning to grind on her nerves. Rosli was after all, a rather sociable wolf.

[atrb=background,http://imageshack.us/a/img32/3526/ariesptmid.png] After Aries’ nightmare, she had wandered away from her home in Isdyn’s Deep, following the river south. She wasn’t entirely sure where she wanted to go, but she did know that Xisyn lay ahead. After all, if she veered into the Sands of Rodorr again, the sinkhole valley in the sand would pop up sooner or later. Aries knew enough about Xisyn, although she wasn’t yet familiar with landmarks or the terrain. She knew it was very rocky; nothing like the silty sand of her deserts, but that was about it. Still, her paws carried her in Xisyn’s direction. All of a sudden, the femme could smell rain. It was musty-smelling, but she loved it. ’At least part of my desert and Xisyn gets water…’ she thought to herself with a half-hearted chuckle, wishing her lands could get more rain. The drought had already affected most of the animals, and her river would be next. Body shifting suddenly downward, Aries began to descend into Xisyn, feeling her pelt become warm. The heat was a little stifling, what with the rain making it humid. Still, her body was made for this sort of weather, and it didn’t bother her too much. As it started to storm, Aries whined a little. What if she got struck by lightning? The thunder scared her as well, for it made the loose rocks beneath her tremble. A howl sang from her maw as she called for help. Aries had never done this before, but she was in, for the most part, an unfamiliar territory, she didn’t know where to find shelter, and she was blind! At least she wasn’t going to walk off a cliff or anything. Aries howled once more, bowing her head against the driving rain, which had turned into hail. The temperatures dropped suddenly, and the Mexican female was beginning to get nervous. ’I need to get in some shelter.’ she thought desperately, hurrying forward. It didn’t end very well; Aries paw caught in a small hollow between two rocks, and she stumbled forward, falling hard onto the sharp rocks. Whimpering, Aries wrenched her paw from the hole and started forward again, going much more slowly. She was about to call for help again before she walked straight into the side of a rock. Yelping, she jumped backwards and snarled in frustration. Scenting the air, she realized that the rocks’ side was actually an entrance to a cavern. Aries padded inside glumly, trying to feel happy about her shelter. But it reminded her of her den back in the Occasus, which made her think of her cruel nightmare. Suddenly, Aries froze mid-step. There was another wolf here! The rain had washed the scent away from outside; Aries back up, her rump hitting the side of the cave, and she stammered, ”I’m sorry, I didn’t know there was another wolf here.” Words;; 478 Muse;; Bleh. Mood;; Worried. Notes;; Sorry for the shitty post x.x It seems my muse went down. This thread takes place after Visions [Rasalas] and is the liquid time thread to the former.

[rosli]

As she dried and warmth began to coat her body once again, Rosli found herself drifting off to sleep. The female knew she would need to find some herbs tomorrow, once the storm passed. As lids shielded her emerald eyes her breathing grew brief and light. Ribs rose and fell slightly as the night carried on, her peaceful existence. What was it that this female dreamed of? Well of course like any other normal wolf she dreamed of finding her precious herbs in the woods and reciting their effects. They could do either good or evil, sometimes both depending on dosage.

A thump roused the delicately built female and she snapped her head up just in time to see the female enter her space. Emerald eyes narrowed in annoyance but she remained were she was, not willing to fight over the entire dens. The female backed into the wall and her stammering voice, brought Rosli to her feet to investigate. Emerald eyes settled on the females gaze, knowing all too well that the milky blue eyes of the female were unseeing. The small female paced in front of the female, in a way testing her other senses, wondering if this ailment has been with her for awhile.

" I, like yourself do not own these lands or these dens, as much as i'd like to say otherwise." smooth soprano tones played in a gentle manner as Rosli seated herself a few paces away, trying to seem as non threatening as possible. " I am known as Rosli, just a simple healer passing through these lands when the storm hit. I will bring you no harm so no need to be so scared, i am much smaller then you after all." Tones played gently as the delicately built female moved back to her spot beside the boulder and sat down, waiting to see what the other would do.

[atrb=background,http://imageshack.us/a/img32/3526/ariesptmid.png] Aries shook herself vigorously, trying to get the rest of the water off her pelt. Luckily for her, her pelt was thin and she would dry soon enough. She nodded a little to the other female in the den, choosing a spot a good ten feet or so from her. She panted slightly, her ankle stinging. It seems that she had twisted it somewhat, but it didn’t matter, it would heal in time. Licking her ankle, Aries nodded again, saying quietly, ”Well Rosli, my name is Aries. I live just north of here in the Occasus.” She didn’t feel much like talking to the female, as she was wary of strangers, and she didn’t really like the others’ attitude. Still, it seemed that they would both be there until the storm passed. Taking a deep breath, Aries raised her head and said, ”I would not know of your size. I am blind, you see, which is why I didn’t notice you here sooner.” She had always hated announcing her blindness, but as she was only active at night, when it was dark, some wolves didn’t really notice her eyes. It made the fae all the more uncomfortable, as she didn’t like any attention being drawn to her blindness. Aries growled a little to herself, getting up abruptly. The storm was too large, it wouldn’t pass soon enough, and poor Rasalas was waiting her. She had intended, after all, to go for a quick walk and then go back home. But no, she was stuck in a cave with a snooty femme. Aries moved to the entrance of the cave, turned her head slightly to Rosli and said, ”Forgive me, I have someone waiting on me. I must leave – it was nice meeting you.” before padding off. She didn’t want to have to deal with a third stranger, let alone whilst she was injured. Despite the pouring rain, Aries was determined. She was going to get out of this rocky hell-hole called Xisyn and go back to her home, and her friend. Aries trudged on, head bowed against the rain and hail, limping. Even so, she managed to get out of the desert valley, and was on her way home to Isdyn’s Deep. The hail didn’t reach her in the desert, and so she felt a bit better. Sighing, Aries made her way home. Words;; 393 Muse;; Fine. Mood;; Grumpy. Notes;; I'm so sorry this is short - I had to get her out. Also, I'm sorry I had to get her out - her plot kind of changed and I needed to have her in the Occasus. Rosli can follow if she wants!
