Chaos Lives In Everything [Haishin]

[Deleted]

The sun began to rise yet again, the daily cycle was repeating as all the creatures of Earth had grown to expect it to. The dark pelted creature with yellow eyes had been set in a trance all night, hardly knowing where she was going or if there was a point to her meandering. Now that the glittery sun was waving hello to her she realized she was somewhat lost. Quickly the female crouched down below the nearest... stone remnant? 'The f*** is this? Well surely I wouldn't know ma'am, I am certainly just as confused and lost as you. It is your fault we are here, you realize this?' The voices raced through her mind, and the agonizing headache that came with them began to echo around in her mind. The female had hardly noticed that her knee was acting up and she had been limping for the past several hours now. "f***," she whispered to herself before pressing her auds back against her cranium and making her frame as tiny and squished behind the stone remnants as possible. This girl had never crossed this area of the island before, even though she had roamed across the island for her entire life. The femme had never had a pack and had stuck with mostly nearby areas until now. 'Way to get us lost, bitch. I did no such thing! You're the one who was supposed to be giving us directions, you know that, right?' Her eyes twitched a few times as the pain shot through her skull, luckily for her she managed to stay relatively silent for the time being.

Her nostrils flared absorbing as much of the odors that the air carried as possible, wolves. Several of them. She had wandered onto a pack land. Vega was not concerned about being on a pack land, for she believed she had the same amount of rights to the land as they did. Screw anyone who thought they could boss her around, she would show them. The world belonged to her, she knew that. No one else was physically there, usually, to be a part of her life; yet, within her mind there were more voices and personas than she ever knew was possible. They sang to her, bossed her around, conversed with her, tried to pretend she had feelings; Vega had determined that the voices were better than the friends anyhow. These personas would be stuck with her until the day she died, then they could go find someone else to harass. For now though, they were her voices. Hers and only hers. The femme resisted the urge to giggle and start dancing around, although half of her thought this would be appropriate the paranoid half begged to differ. Vega always struggled with listening to anything other than the paranoid half. If paranoia was present, which it nearly always was, it must be listened to. She must be obedient, a good slave to the paranoia.

Paranoia decided that she should do some exploring, but to keep her ass covered. The female began to gradually move forward, her breathing was shallow and the foot steps as silent as she could possibly make them. 'Don't get yourself killed now, pretty. Who could kill me? Silly girl, you think you could win in a fight?' The taunting voices in her head began to laugh, so much in fact that the bitch herself couldn't resist letting out a couple heartfelt chuckles. The voices were teasing her, most of them knew of her ability to go tunnel vision and get extremely violent, sometimes with herself and sometimes with others. In her laughter she managed to completely step from all cover and step on a stick, it of course loudly snapped. This shook her small frame back into reality, with a yelp and small limp the female took off in a brisk trot to another stone remnant and ducked behind it. Her tail was pressed against her hindquarters and she again shrunk herself into the tiniest ball possible.

'Look what trouble you have gotten yourself in now, tsk tsk. Shut up! Now, now, don't hurt yourself. Don't make me- make you what?' The femme let out a deep, nearly masculine, growl to herself. It was a feeble attempt to calm herself down, the last thing she needed was to be surrounded by some feral pack that were just as blood thirsty as her. Yet again she found herself shaking her cranium, it was the way to bring herself back to the physical world. The female yawned, showing her razor sharp fangs for a moment before her slightly glassy yellow optics rolled across the terrain once again, waiting patiently...

[atrb=background,http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/3953/eluptmid.png] Elu had been wandering through the lands of Kamari, getting to know his new home. Akihra had accepted him into her pack, and he had been happily exploring his new home for the past few days, creating a mental map of the territory. He’d come across the pack dens, Kalus’ Point, in the very early morning after he’d been accepted. After two days of traversing the landscape, Elu had turned back towards his new home, hoping to take a nice nap. But as he neared the area, he came across a scent. A female. She had the scent of Haishin upon her, but he was still wary – it most definitely did not smell like Akihra, and Elu wasn’t aware of any other members besides himself and his Alphess. Perhaps a new wolf had entered Kamari after he had, and been accepted without him knowing? It wasn’t unreasonable, he told himself. After all, he’d been away from the central pack for two days now, whilst he had explored. Still…it didn’t seem right. Surely he would have heard a howl if a loner had requested to join? Elu snorted softly, shaking out his white pelt and continuing at a brisker pace; he wanted to meet this new wolf, and find out where she had come from. The thought crossed his mind of howling for Akihra, but then he countered, thinking ’If I call to her, what if the femme flees? And what if my guess is wrong, and she is another pack member…?’ He grunted to himself, deciding that he didn’t want to risk calling his lady Alphess for nothing. Elu inhaled the scent deeply, confirming his suspicions; the wolf was travelling towards the pack dens unwaveringly. It puzzled him a little, wondering, if it was a lone female, did she have knowledge of Kamari, or was she simply travelling in one direction? He hadn’t caught the start of her scent – he’d picked it up in the middle. How was he to know if she’d travelled in a straight line, or if she’d been moving randomly? The loud snap of a twig jerked the Arctic brute from his thoughts, dispelling them quickly. His paws stopped, and he crouched down, silent. He must have been very close to her. After a few moments, he started to stalk forward, noticing that he’d just crossed the start of Kalus’ Point. A near-silent, yet deep sigh came from his chest, and he stood up fully, swinging around one of the remnants of stone left by those pesky humans so long ago… and there she was. Elu’s eyes narrowed in suspicion, his furry ears pulling back against his skull and his tail flicking out, perfectly aligned with the rocky ground. He noticed that she was balled against the ground, probably knowing she’d given herself away. Elu frowned, staring down at her, nostrils quivering as he scented her once more. His thoughts were confirmed; she was a loner, and she had trespassed into Haishin territory. The white brute growled quietly at her, a warning for her to stay where she was. He was much larger than she was, and he could easily take her down if it came to that. But Elu had not been taught to attack without first questioning a stranger – he was simply wary of them. He gave her a long look, making sure she wasn’t going to run on him, before he finally spoke. ”Miss, I must ask why you have invaded Haishin territory – it goes without saying that you smelled the scent markers as you crossed the boundaries.” Elu told her, his voice level. ”Pray, tell me, what made you cross without first calling the Alphess?” he continued, allowing a slight hint of incredulous-sounding dominance enter his tone. After all, this was his home now, and a loner had no business dwelling so deep within his Alphess’ lands. Yet still, he would not become angered – he wanted to prove his worth to Akihra, not show her his faults. He decided to call her as soon as he figured out the females’ story. For now, he felt he could deal with her. Words;; 688 Muse;; Better than my last post! Mood;; Curious, slightly dominant and wary. Notes;; This thread takes place two days after Elu's acceptance in ...Home. [Haishin - Joining] and is the liquid time thread to the former. Uru, I hope it's okay that I've considered him accepted, as he's accepted OOC, just not IC yet.

OoC: I guess I should also state that this thread is taking place 2 days after A Midnight Visit [Open]. Hopefully that is okay Uru.

BiC:

The female swore she heard a noise, but wasn't quite certain at first. 'You're being paranoid, you do know that? No, I'm fine I swear,' shivers began rippling beneath her pelt as she began to feel like a panic attack would be about to erupt. Her breathing grew deep and sharp as she attempted to remain calm, to not completely freak out and start running in random directions. Once the fog began to clear her head, and the voices were subsiding the female was certain that indeed there was another coming towards her. Now Vega felt her fate was sealed, wandered onto a pack land and being approached. 'Good game,' the thought made her audibly chuckle once again, and then the voice of the brute caught her auds. Before she realized what she was doing she had stood to her full height, head held high; yet, her tail remained straight down. It was a show of subconscious submission, it did not take the female very long to realize the great size of the brute in fr4H98MIPE2y³N5VNTJ5V13y³N68P988G7:y³N7BL2KVS1¾0´N8DY171LZÀ0´N975B2TSTeŽ·N:IR8B67HhŽ·N;13I3K9RT¹N<EQTXW62U¹N=R4SXA7XYí¾N>ZKWPLKR[í¾N?QB94YLC#ÈÀN@EF1IR6W/ÈÀNA9M52FQRMÅÁNB7M3K2DDOÅÁNC1M7MLKR ïÁNDUD95Y6C#ïÁNEAF28BESÄNF42XP74E¢ÄNGJJDYL3Cõ­ÅNHG911Q72÷­ÅNIH43DLP7šKÈNJU2CDR5A›KÈNKN3VQR6YòËNLYYFRLNV òËNM7RVJVH7€†ÍNNARAT6G4‚†ÍNOAMKJ6SC@bÐNPPE6VYDI‘ãÓNQFHRDA7X–ãÓNRTB16GU3šãÓNS3DHAVDFð‚ÔNT5RZGB2Iñ‚ÔNUB8F7ZJ9©¬ÖNV692KR8QtÉ×NWLUKS284vÉ×NXL4IKCVI²ÙNY93HSIMA²ÙNZV53TYPX@NÚN[68TVVYP9©ÚN\MRY47UZ;©ÚN]63JYH2Nv_ÛN^PUW2W8Jw_ÛN_86IU3JIERÝN`CZPUJVVGRÝNaL2YFBK5L¡ÝNbCA5M4SN}öÞNcPMZ9862öÞNdA9RN4WX¬ßNe11B7G9R®ßNf2Y494F24ÝßNg6UP8R5G7ÝßNhWEB6F81E:áNiTVR1ELXG:áNj7XWWV9KÔÏáNkM3NUUP2ÖÏáNl4X44VGYÄRåNmMRLSVQBÔRåNn5W3W3JB¦ÞåNoYCZIY8G¨ÞåNpRD2V3W3ñåNq1IF1GVFñåNrSLI5G3Q«šéNsUFE3QA9°šéNtMWG8CU2‚¥éNuNX7274V„¥éNvX7M3JIQFžìNwXQQWXZWGžìNxXPKJ95B°íNyF27JW9T³íNzN1Q3Q8U¹íN{BB5IJ2Qƒ£ïN|3LCPP52í÷N}GB1G2JWï÷N~RHHWW88>OQ1ZHZ68ƒ>O€Q8GFFDW¨›O653KYYG­›O‚LHUHIINXãOƒZADE945ÖÒO„KN2FUSU×ÒO…6SBBHAFêo O†EIEYNBAïo O‡YI577UWð™OˆM1678L5ò™O‰7H7MYHI»ùOŠR1M2G8L½ùO‹YH2X7FL _ OŒ321LN3Q"_ O9KQHP9W OŽUF2AFLJ ORS1C33Hãá OCKBIFQIåá O‘456AEWDK O’V83ASQYL O“KQR6FQ6ÞUO”EUL8H7WäUO•1TH582G &O–NASP874¢&O—3K9FMRMö…O˜FIG8D3L÷…O™4KIE9UI†OšIVYQ5C8ÄO›6WSQXWSËOœRAUPS6Q¯FOXUY4224±FOž2UM58U9½POŸZQ1VQZBÀPO 7UQGWAJfO¡PBG8AKGfO¢975KH3CÚO£BUI1C2MÛO¤X7UT9LZžoO¥L9S1TNI¦oO¦413KHDS/3O§GTZUSU703O¨CTTMCS8»ÌO©HGM4F82¼ÌOªERP57J7¹eO«F857E4I¿eO¬CXUUTKN¦O­AE53XPU¦O®F54SK9N[¿O¯LSCVMZT]¿O°MKYPLI7¤O±K5SX1VI¤O²B2SYRJMÜüO³7XS6DX4ÝüO´3Q32Z84~éOµ2H8RTM2€éO¶74AU1N1J‡O·42UR9V2K‡O¸FQVWD1A3Í O¹Y7QJ6G75Í OºBC9JCQL¡s"O»XRMU2KL£s"O¼V1I6IYBË$O½APK56DGÐ$O¾VMF1FRKªÝ$O¿WWQ9X7Q°Ý$OÀCBKMTBZOÄ%OÁG5JALWXQÄ%OÂBJCLFBSÖÐ&OÃD8STL16ÛÐ&OÄVJU4W6K—>+OÅVV4UNTB˜>+OÆ2LK73HM”â,OÇTWR5EKEšâ,OÈKJYJ4FQ¹/OÉKW585R4»/OÊ7D9JXR4€[4OËKHXFIND‚[4OÌWXZAT2C-J<OÍ9LEKC9M0J<OÎTC9BACK²£>OÏCRNWJKZ2EOÐIJVNVVUb—EOÑARR27GRc—EOÒ3PWKNIN'LOÓV49E44W)LOÔQHLXJKYøÂLOÕF23DM92É6YOÖFJFI6AQ§ZO×KM7DKNZ§ZOØCK79MPUá³bOÙ2W5UQ5Jì³bOÚ2GDMHZJ³EgOÛK2YBWVQºEgOÜCZS61Q2FlkOÝU41KKGJIlkOÞZ34QQ9Là‰mOßH96YK88ã‰mOà18GB5GNàÄpOá9ATW35HâÄpOâU3QP5XSr{qOãBELU188s{qOäHTFDM4X+fvOå73B17DJ.fvOæ3CQL5UP¹ÂwOçI2HBVMN»ÂwOèVFFUD1P ZzOé5ZL62X7 ZzOêDIK62EHbzOëHKFAY4EbzOìWGMBGPUuOíM1W7K3AyOîEXP5KQLm ‚Oï8HX5JIXn ‚OðB4YNZI2BOñ69ZY9VWBOò269DNIEÐøOblockquote]

[atrb=background,http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/3953/eluptmid.png] Elu’s frown became more pronounced as soon as the loner glanced upwards at him, and he growled once more. Even though it had merely been a second, her yellow gaze caught his slightly darker golden one, and a small flash of anger jolted through his veins. How dare she look him in the eye? ’No respect…’ he snarled silently, lips pulling back and up automatically, his tail starting to curl over his back. This was no longer about her invasion of the territory – it was about respect, whether it be towards the territory itself, or simply Elu. He was about to snap at her, before he took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. Luckily, the only outward sign of his anger was his half-snarl. Licking his black lips, Elu grimaced down at her. As the fae crouched down again, the brute snorted. He listened, aghast, to her words. Did she have no shame, having just been caught in a land where she didn’t belong? Elu groaned inwardly, wondering what on earth he was thinking about when he’d decided to approach her alone. He leaned closer to the stranger female, growling into her ear, ”If you want to walk, Miss, then I suggest you walk south until you hit I’queyer, or west until you hit the Occasus. You will find other packs to the east and north.” Elu paused, glaring down at her, his fur starting to bristle. When she spoke again, Elu let a true snarl rip through his chest. ”I will not tolerate your attitude in my home. Have you no respect for a pack?” he snapped at her, a controlled anger flowing through his body. This was not like last time, when he had exploded at poor Zodiac. Elu had what he considered a healthy amount of anger rolling through his blood – just enough to make the female think differently about her invasion. Before the loner could answer his irritated question, however, Elu added in a much calmer tone, ”A loner is required to call at the border of any pack land, whether they wish to join or cross through the lands of said pack. You will stay put while I call my Alphess.” With a grunt, Elu removed himself from the females’ presence, stepping away so that he was under the full dawn sky. ”Lady Akihra,” he called, his howl deep and strong, probing the very corners of Kamari, in search of his Alphess’ auds, ”A lone female has trespassed, and is now awaiting your judgment in Kalus’ Point. We await your arrival.” His song over, Elu stepped back into the run-down dens, gazing at the female still crouched against the floor. He sat, keeping a stony-eyed watch on her. ”The lady will be here shortly.” he told her quietly, anger and suspicion erased from his strong features. He was formal now, the only expression upon his face a slightly bored, business-y look. Calm now, Elu attempted small-talk. ”If the lady doesn’t drive you out or give me orders to do so, you might be endowed enough to ask for acceptance into Haishin.” he murmured, near-silently, although his voice was loud enough to be heard over the silent air no matter what. ”I do hope that your attitude will shift, Miss, as I fear what your fate shall become, should it remain unchanged and you run into yet another pack.” Elu told her, allowed a chuckle to grace his lips. ”Let me tell you, the Descai would not tolerate your behavior…you would be lucky to escape that forsaken pack alive.” The Arctic brute was warning her, gently, which came as a surprise to the male. Generally speaking, he did not offer warnings more than once, and he had been exceedingly tolerant with this renegade rogue. In truth, despite her attitude, Elu knew that Haishin needed new blood, and could use any member – for the most part – it could get. He was determined to either get this female into the pack, or at least teach her a bit of respect for others, and for pack territory. He gave her a very small smile, hoping to convey some semblance of friendliness to her. After all, every creature deserved at least some kindness. Words;; 705 Muse;; Decent. Mood;; A tad angry, but then calm and formal. Notes;; Wow, this is actually longer than the last post? I thought it was shorter.

A tremor swam through her body, 'Phenomenal, look what you being sidetracked got you. Got us you mean, and indeed if we weren't still stuck thinking about that incident - you mean the one where they all died? Why yes of course that one,' this was one conversation that would never make Vega smile nor laugh. The slaughter of her vicious cruel family was her only thought and knowledge of pack life. If pack life was being raped and beaten by a cruel dictator than why would she want to be in one? Luckily for her, her father had been in control of the last pack - and that brute despised her like no other. She was a wimp, a runt, useless; and her father would also add in that she was a gimp, that is if he could see her today. The wounded knee did nothing but slow her down, even so though the female refused to back down. Vega refused to let life try and beat her, she was perfectly content caring for herself and only herself. The one who birthed her was the only one who ever gave a damn about her fate, and that femme had died. Her mother had died due to her own ignorance, her own stupidity for being so young and angry.

Vega's glance didn't avert from the ground a single time, but she didn't need to look at the brute to tell how angry he seemed to be. The air felt thick over her small frame, and for a moment she thought that perhaps this was where it ended for her. When fantasizing about her life she always believed it would live up to being more than just a beaten daughter and then dinner for some pack. "Why respect a pack when they have no respect for you?" her inquire was half rhetorical and yet she half hoped that she would receive a legitimate answer. Although her voice was coming off as innocent yet strong, she was not going to humiliate herself by giving in to complete submission. Vega felt far to strongly about herself to give up on her own values to potentially save her life. Her auds flickered to listen to his call for the Alphess, 'Great, there will soon be others flocking around here, around us,' the femme was slightly unsure what to do now.

Despite her paranoia about others joining them, she was thankful that the brute had given her the opportunity to leave. And he was kind enough to let her know where the safe spots to go were. This took the femme slightly off guard but she grinned a bit on the inside, "Well thank you for guiding me on the safe direction to go," she rose to all fours again and took a few limping steps away from him. Her knee was rather inflamed and shooting flames up her leg, apparently she had over done it with the adventuring last night. The femme couldn't even remember if she had been walking or running the entire night away, 'Next time pay more attention for our sake.' She lowered her head and licked her left front knee a few times, for some reason hoping that it would aid in the agonizing pain she was experiencing. "Do you really find me that much of a threat?" the female thought of replying with a snide, smart ass remark but opted to hold her tongue instead. Vega realized that it would not be wise in the state she was in to start throwing her rude remarks and arrogant ways about.

He even told her about another pack, how strange, was he trying to make his own pack seem better than the others? She was quite uncertain; yet, perhaps it had worked. Or was it another trap? The female was rather disorientated from the pain and the daze she had so recently awoken from, this was rather much for her mind to handle all at once. Lowering her head between her shoulder blades and with her tail remaining limp between her hindquarters she crouched herself back upon the ground. This was her silent admission that there was no point in trying to escape or run off, the brute was bigger and appeared to be in good health. It would just cause more pain and issues for herself, hopefully she could simply talk her way out of this. Talking her way into safety would probably be the only way to get out of this, she had decided.

[atrb=background,http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/3953/eluptmid.png] Elu’s amber-gold gaze, which had been narrowed, guarded and wary, seemed to melt as it watched the female below shudder violently. The brute blinked slightly, cocking his head to the side as he scrutinized her. He suddenly wondered if she was doing alright – the femme seemed…unusually submissive. At first he had thought she was only submitting to him because she was fearful, having been caught where she knew she shouldn’t have been. But she still refused to look at him. Elu knew that most strangers didn’t look each other in the eyes, but this wolf… ’She won’t even look at my face.’ his thoughts finished, realization hitting him full-force. The Arctic brute came to the conclusion that this female probably hadn’t been socialized as well as a normal wolf – although not having been in a pack until just the other day, even Elu knew how to act around most wolves. He licked his lips, clearing his throat and opening his maw to speak, before the fae cut him off. The brute closed his yellow orbs, raising his muzzle and inhaling deeply before opening his eyes and glancing back down at her. ”Miss…” he started off gently, feeling pity bubble up within him for the poor female. Elu closed and open his mouth many times, unable to fully grasp what he wanted to say to her. After nearly a full minute of silence, he sighed in frustration and started over. ”Miss, I assure you, any righteous pack would respect even the lowliest pack member. Even loners.” he assured her softly, a gentle kindness coming onto his face. Elu felt sorry for the lone female, despite the fact that she’d trespassed. When he received no answer in response to his previous statement, he very nearly got up and moved away. But then she suddenly spoke up – however, it wasn’t what he wanted to hear. A soft snort showed his displeasure, but once again his attitude towards the loner changed quickly, as she stood and tried to limp off. ”Miss, please. Stay here.” Elu muttered, voice soft once more. He was genuinely concerned for her health, despite her attitude and what had passed between the two earlier. What was more; his words were a request, not a command. The female seemed to listen to him, for she flicked her leg a couple times. Although she remained standing, the Arctic male was satisfied. Nodding approvingly to her, he took a slow step forward, lowering his head to meet hers. He offered her a half-smile, murmuring, ”I would like to examine your wound – I assure you, I mean you no harm.” Elu wanted to be careful around her, because if he was right, and she wasn’t sufficiently socialized, she might not trust him being so close to her. Still, he didn’t sense much harm from her, even when he gently scented her knee. He was no Shaman, but his mother had taught him what little she knew of herb lore. Elu could scent nothing from the wound, which made him think that it was rather old. Staring at it intently, he nodded to himself. ”Hmm…” he mumbled, tilting his head to the side, glancing upwards into her yellow eyes. ”This is an old wound, isn’t it?” Elu asked her, pulling away and sitting once more upon his haunches. Flicking an ear so that it swiveled to face the entrance to Kalus’ Point, Elu watched as the female stooped back down. ”Miss, please, won’t you relax? I won’t hurt you, and I will make sure to tell my Alphess that you are not a threat to us or her lands.” he told her, hoping she would believe him. Elu could hardly stand to see her in such a pathetic position. ”Tell me, what is your name, stranger?” he inquired, giving her another smile. ”My name is Elu Elenessë, and as you know, I am a member of the Haishin pack.” Words;; 654 Muse;; Good. Mood;; Concerned. Notes;; A bit shorter than the last, but still good. Isn't he such a sweetie? Oh, also, I wasn't sure if the very last speech was actually spoken, or she just thought about saying it - if it was actually spoken, then I'll need to edit my post.

Vega inwardly chuckled to herself upon hearing the brute speak of respect coming from packs. Despite the cruelty that her father had inflicted, she still held great respect for him. He brought together many loners and made them fear, yet love, him. He became a rather rightful dictator of them, until his runt of a daughter brought their downfall. None had stood up to his authority until she did, others feared the loyalty that some creatures had for their alpha. Vega just knew this fear and loyalty game as life; however she viewed it from her father's side. Her father did this all for fun, no other reason than for that. He loved watching others squirm and writhe underneath him, yet he accepted the fear they showed him as adoration. In the whelp's mind she developed this as an idea of what a pack should be. This was how she believed a pack would function and run, and that made her decide that one day she would become alpha. Or so she had hoped until recently. The femme was still slightly unsure what to say to the brute regarding his 'righteous' pack, what was the point in giving in and committing to others that would certainly only betray you in the end.

The femme held her tongue for a moment longer and kept her yellow optics focused on the ground, watching the movement of the brute's legs to tell her where he was going rather than looking at his face. Upon his request for her to stay she let a small smile slip over her maw, "I wouldn't be getting away too swiftly even if I tried, now would I?" A quiet giggle pried its way from her face after she spoke and her yellow orbs darted across the ground showing her slight discomfort. Indeed, she was not used to being so close to another wolf, especially a brute who had called on his Alphess. 'What if the entire pack comes, he may just be deceiving us,' the thought stung her head. Indeed, this may just be a trap, a way for them to bring her to her knees and rip her poor little heart out. 'We won't go down without a fight!' as the thought rang through her head she jumped back a bit from him, it was more of a startled movement than an actual jump. Indeed, his examining of her wound proved to give her a significant amount of discomfort.

Being wounded and the runt of her family had proved to be Vega's largest weaknesses in life. She did not want to be viewed as an easy target or as inferior to any other being, especially not to a pack. 'We could kill them all you know, for there are more of us. Perhaps we could, but who knows what creatures they align themselves with,' an eerie smile found itself upon her features and even Vega was not quite sure when her giddy smile exchanged itself for the slightly murderous one. As quickly as she realized the look she was giving off, Vega wiped her features clean, "It is old, one from when I was just a whelp," she shrugged and turned her crania away from him. It was a half-hearted attempt to turn the topic away from her weakness. "Vega is what I have been called by," she spoke her name quietly. Part of the female not even certain if it was her name anymore.

None had called her Vega for a long time, few even knew of her name. The femme preferred to keep a distance, but knowing that the odds were against her she decided that it would be a decent idea to keep some formality with the brute. Well, at least as formal as she remembered to be. It was not in Vega's nature to dance around all formal and such to others, she was straight and to the point unless she felt that there would be some extreme gain for her otherwise. But what gain could she achieve from trying to manipulate this creature? He had already summoned others, and surely she was not in a position to out run him at this time. 'It is indeed best for us to wait and see. Unless of course you're going to ruin it for us - I never ruin anything for us - Sure, you do have the supposedly flawless planning - SHUT IT!' Vega tightly closed her eyes, pushing as hard as she could to keep them from taking over her small frame.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Elu," she spoke his name quieter than the rest of the statement, indeed she had not called one by their name in quite sometime either. "And we give you our appreciation for giving word that we are no threat," upon speaking again the femme realized that she had referred to herself in plural, including the voices that were within her. A feverish flush swarmed over her and the femme wracked her brain to find some way to correct what she had said. "My apologies, I meant giving word that I am no threat, it has been quite the long night," her words were quite apologetic and rather embarrassed.

OoC: He is quite the sweetie, Vega isn't quite sure how to take it lol. And she just thought about saying it, so all is good :3

[atrb=background,http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/3046/kiratablemid.png][atrb=width,450,true] Although it had taken some time, the alphess had finally managed to take the kill Elu had presented upon his arrival back to the dens. By the time she returned to him, he had wandered off across the pack lands. While she understood the curiosity of a new pack wolf, she had not had the time to warn him of the potential dangers that tended to lurk in Kamari. There were always dangers around, even more so with the drama surrounding Kallik and her pups. They had seemingly vanished into the woodwork of the pack lands, and if she could not ferret them out soon, the wrath of their neighboring pack would likely rain upon them. As Akihra lost herself in the thought of eminent destruction, she wandered after her newest pack member's scent trail, intensely curious as to what he was doing. Perhaps he would scavenge up some small prey for them. After all, the large kill would not last long once Sariya and the others caught wind of it; likely it would last them through the night before the scavengers of the territory started to hone in on it. They needed to take care of it and fast. The sound of voices bled through the rubble that Akihra suddenly found herself approaching; one was familiar as Elu's, but the other was foreign to the femme. As always, the femme bristled at the though of a strange wolf invading her territory. The alphess puffed herself up once more and stalked toward the wolves, eager to see just what Elu had dredged up for her to deal with. What the femme did not expect to find was her new pack member conversing with an obviously injured femme. How the wolf had managed to make it this far into her territory undetected had the alphess beside herself. If someone who could barely move could get this far into Kamari, what was stopping an able-bodied wolf from heading straight into their dens? Akihra shivered, the thought making her increasingly tense "Elu, what happened here?" she inquired briefly, turning her attention to the injured female. The femme was obviously younger than her, but she seemed to be in pretty poor physical condition. Akihra relaxed, instantly assured that this femme was not a threat to her. She was just a wolf who lacked manners to seek permission to enter pack lands. Elu had done the right thing by summoning her to deal with the trespasser. It was further assuring her that it had been a good move to accept the brute into Haishin. He could be quite the asset to the pack, especially if he could ferret out these wanderers. Maybe being a pack hunter was not the best calling for him, after all.

[atrb=background,http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/3953/eluptmid.png] Elu continued to watch the femme on the ground for some time – she didn’t seem to want to move from her scrunched position. The Arctic wolf shook his head in dismay and moved a ways away from her, sitting at the entrance to the pack dens’; some part of him couldn’t help but believe the femme was no threat, but experience and wisdom told him to be on his guard. Elu knew that a wolf is a desperate situation could snap at anything, and so he vowed to keep an eye on her until he was sure that she wasn’t going to do anything. As the black fae smiled and spoke, Elu let out a gentle chuckle as well. ”No, Miss, for if you were to leave, I am afraid I would take it upon myself to escort you from the terra.” he responded, a touch of amusement lightening his otherwise solemn tone. Despite their airy words, Elu knew that the both of them were rather tense; the femme especially, as she was acting a tad strangely, what with her odd smiles and nervous giggling. Still, he said nothing of it – Elu didn’t know of any wolves who’d ever had any sort of mental problem, and so all he thought of the femme was that she was rather strange. Upon the discussion of her wound, Elu nodded slowly. His auds flicked as the femme spoke her name, and again he nodded. ”Well, Miss Vega, it is a pleasure to meet you. Although I do wish it could have been in better circumstances.” Elu told her with yet another grin and chuckle. He continued to watch Vega, keenly aware of her actions. His amber eyes caught hers once before she closed them tightly, and his lips pulled down slightly in a small frown. If that puzzled the brute, the next words from Vega’s maw were utterly incomprehensible. ”Ah, ‘we’?” Elu questioned, something within the pit of his stomach telling him that perhaps the female wasn’t all there. He shook the thought away angrily. He didn’t like thinking of mental issues, especially not disorders or anything that would cause a wolf to be…strange. Elu did not like the unknown, and his father had always told him that demons were things you could see and fight with tooth and claw, not in one’s head. As Vega explained her slip of the tongue, Elu automatically believed her – anything to get these troubling thoughts away from his mind. ”No worries, Miss; I am sure it could happen to anyone.” he growled softly, nodding his head to her. ”Excuse me.” he said abruptly, turning around and padding a few steps towards the outside world, just as Akihra entered the dens. ”My Lady!” he exclaimed, a broad smile lighting his strong features. ”I thought I heard you.” Elu stated, watching as his Alphess’ eyes flickered towards Vega. As she questioned the Arctic brute about what happened, he bowed his head in respect before answering. ”Lady Akihra,” Elu started quietly, nodding his head towards Vega. ”I scented an intruder earlier, you see, and son after I discovered Miss Vega here. I confronted her and she told me that she merely wanted to go on a walk through Kamari, but of course I’ve kept her here until you could respond to my call.” he told the Alpha female, his grave tone bouncing back. ”I can assure you my Lady, she is no threat to us.” he finished quietly, glancing back towards the Grey femme. Leaning forward slightly, he murmured to Akihra, ”I have told her that, if I am ordered to do so, I will be forced to remove her from the territory. Although…forgive me, my Lady…but it is my whole-hearted belief that Miss Vega is in need of a home. I gave her the option of being removed from Kamari, or request a place within the ranks of Haishin.” Elu bowed his head slightly before pulling away, removing himself to the edge of the dens. This was not his responsibility anymore, although he would stay to offer his advice if it were needed. Words;; 685 Muse;; Good. Mood;; Slightly wary, confused, then relieved. Notes;; Yay for renewed Elu muse!

[atrb=background,http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/8766/65167727.png] Vega shifted in scrunched position ever so slightly. Her wounded leg was extended out before her. For a few silent moments the femme began licking at her knee, it was a weak attempt to find something for herself to do. She wasn't quite certain what to do in this situation, it probably would have been awkward for her had she any feelings. The femme shrugged at herself for a moment before casting a yellow gaze up towards the sky. 'What have we gotten ourself into now, your mindless wandering is causing another issue.' Her cranium hung low between her shoulder blades, appearing as if the femme was in a rather submissive stance. In truth, however, she was really just rather bored with all of this. Authority was not something Vega knew how to deal with well, as her father had shown her what authority was. The beatings and the tauntings were pleasantly left from her life now, and Vega was not looking to get them back. The femme chuckled slightly, "Perhaps company wouldn't be the worst thing in the world..." her voice trailed for a moment as she prevented herself from tossing another 'we' into one of her statements, "I do spend most of my time alone." A halfhearted grin crossed her features for a brief instant before the femme fell silent. Vega felt tired, what she truly needed was rest. The knee wound flared up once and awhile, but most of the time Vega would be able to do things that every other wolf could. Yet now she felt slightly trapped, indeed company would be nice, as long as she did not have to play pretend with them. Vega always despised playing submissive and nice, especially when she believed she was not getting a single thing out of it. "These circumstances could turn more in my favor," another chuckle escaped her maw before the femme fell silent. Her nares flared, 'The alpha must be drawing near.' Annoyance flared within the femme, and that was something she knew was going to be difficult not to show. "I apologize for stumbling upon your lands," the exhaustion was becoming most noticeable in the female's voice, "I was deep in thought when I...." the femme cut herself off as the alpha female appeared. Her head sunk lower between her shoulder blades. This female seemed quite annoyed to have to wander over and examine the situation. Vega's tail flipped a few times before the grey female brought it close to her body. She brought her wounded paw close to her body once again, for some reason the thought of having any part of her body outstretched in front of the alpha bothered her. Vega wanted to appear as small and nonthreatening as possible, despite the urge to rip into the newcomer's throat. Her auds twitched a few times as she tried to catch word of what the others were speaking of. Most of it was comprehensible, until the end when the brute called Elu shifted the tone of his voice. A slightly bothered expression caught the femme's features, 'He is going to have her kill us,' the thought flashed in and out of her mind quickly. Slowly shaking her head Vega spoke, "I am sorry to have wandered upon your lands," if possible the femme lowered her skull closer between her shoulder blades. "I was deep within thought and had not realized I walked upon your lands. If I had known I would have announced my arrival first." Silence fell over the female again, now was the waiting game, to see what the Alphess was going to do about her trespassing upon her lands.

[atrb=background,http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/3046/kiratablemid.png][atrb=width,450,true] Akihra listened to Elu's explanation of the situation, nodding her head in response to the brute's words. She found herself drifting in and out of attention, but she managed to stay focused long enough to gather the gist of the brute's words. Essentially, the femme was wanting to waltz through Kamari unchecked, and he had stopped her. He was proving to be very useful to the pack, and he would be duly rewarded if he kept up the good work, she would make certain of that. It had been quite some time since Akihra had had a useful pack member around, albeit her daughter. But even so, Sariya seemed to have performed yet another disappearing act, and it always concerned the femme when her only surviving daughter wandered out of the territory. She is getting fed up with being tied here, she thought offhandedly, only snapped back to the current situation when the femme, Vega she believed Elu had said, addressed her directly. While she was a bit distracted, Akihra could not help but notice how the femme suddenly shrunk up at her arrival. It almost brought a smirk to her face, but she kept that little tidbit to herself rather than anger this new wolf. She may have been the alpha, but that would not stop a scorned wolf from attacking her. The dark femme was obviously injured, but there were no fresh wounds. Even if Elu had given her the option of joining Haishin, Akihra was not certain that the femme would be of much use to the pack with a gimp paw. Perhaps she could be useful for other things, but the alphess was skeptical about any such arrangement. Your numbers are low, Kira. Anyone and everyone helps in one way or another, she had to remind herself. The pack was dangerously small, which left them open to all sorts of terrible things. She needed to build up Haishin to its former glory one way or another. She could always weed out the invalids later on when they were a bit more stable. Perhaps all of this drama was hardening the femme. She was no longer the friendly, sweet alphess that she had been at first. Loners wandering her territory were no longer welcome to join the pack for the most part, and so Akihra was indifferent to the femme in front of her. She obviously posed her little threat, but she would not stoop to playing this femme's game. She listened anxiously to the femme's apology. While she did not really have a legitimate reason to be so deep in Haishin's territory, she nodded her head as if she understood the femme's plight. Akihra had once been the loner wandering through Kamari; perhaps she needed to take a different view on this whole situation. Zethrox had been open to allowing her to stay with the pack, but was that merely because of her relation to him? There were so many questions she wished she could ask him now, but he had long since vanished. A sigh slipped through the femme's black lips, very briefly showing that she had fallen into a world of deep thought. Looking back at the new femme, Vega, she realized just how easy it was to lose track of where and when she was. Perhaps her excuse was not all that bad, after all.

[atrb=background,http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/3953/eluptmid.png] Elu had little to say as he watched Vega apologize to his Alphess. In his mind, he snorted, thinking it quite right that she apologized, although her total submission was a bit too much. The Arctic brute stayed silent, a white shadow against the dark rock, like a sentry guarding his castle. In truth, he was very proud of Haishin as well as his Alphess. He found the lands of Kamari a beautiful one, and though there was no forest like which he had grown up in, the clear landscape made him feel safer. He could see who was approaching, and from where, without trees blocking his view or the must leaf smell clogging his scent glands. Breaking from his reverie, Elu looked from Akihra to Vega, neither smile nor frown upon his white maw. He felt sorry for the lone femme, but couldn’t do much for her. In the end, it was Akihra’s decision, not his own, and whatever Akihra said, Elu would have to agree and follow. Besides, he trusted his Lady’s judgment, and knew that she would only do what was in Haishins’ best interests. Still, Akihra had not spoken since her arrival, even after the Arctic brutes’ explanation, or Vega’s apologies. It would have worried him slightly, but Akihra seemed to be paying attention – at least somewhat. Still, it was not Elu’s place to speak now, and he held his tongue. All he could do was watch and wait, although the silence was starting to bother him. Finally, feeling as if he had to say something, Elu stepped forward with a quiet clearing of his throat. ”Lady Akihra, if I may speak – if you fear taking Miss Vega in due to her current state, I would be more than happy to care for her; I do not mind hunting, nor guarding the dens. But the choice is, of course, up to you.” Elu told the Alphess quietly, bowing his head low when he was finished speaking. He wanted Vega to be more comfortable, but he also wanted his Alphess comfortable too, and perhaps her silence was her way of expression her indecision or discomfort? Either way, Elu would do as she commanded. Words;; 366 Muse;; Fine. Mood;; Impassive. Notes;; It's short because he wasn't able to do much ^^;

[atrb=background,http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/8766/65167727.png] The silence was thick in the air, and the femme was becoming more disturbed by the second. Her wanderings had gotten her into to quite the situation this time, and she was not very pleased. She had babbled, held her tongue, attempted to show submission. None of it had brought her anywhere closer to being relieved of this. A soft sigh escaped her lips and the female's golden eyes scanned the terrain quickly. 'If only, perhaps I could escape, run far,' Vega was becoming too weary. There was no way she would be able to escape, perhaps maybe they would escort her from the land. Somehow the female doubted that anything good would ever happen in this situation. Once more her eyes flashed to the brute that she had spoken with originally, 'Why did this brute summon his Alphess? Was that so necessary?' Vega felt stumped and bored with the silence. Finally words caught her auds, and they erected quickly. This Elu brute was requesting that he care for her, even mentioning that he would watch over her. Vega lowered her head to the ground for a moment, her knee was pounding with agonizing pain; and the thought of moving seemed dreadful. 'Would it even be wise to stay?' The female's mind felt sluggish and the scene forming around her seemed more distant. The grey female felt more indecisive now then she had in quite some time. Perhaps sticking around for awhile would not be so terrible, maybe she could have an opportunity to rest and perhaps regain some of her strength. Her mind may have been fatigued, but that did not mean the female was stupid; she acknowledged that perhaps next time she ended up stumbling across a pack in a daze that she may not be so lucky. Next time the pack could potentially attack her, perhaps even kill her. The Alphess seemed slightly distracted anyway, perhaps too busy with her own life to fully think about Vega; which did not bother the dark hued femme at all. Once more her glance fell upon the Alpha, but still she did not speak. What was there to say after all? Vega was not going to beg this other female, although wounded she was not that pathetic. 'I do not want this femme to believe that I am incapable of handling myself, I survived by myself before and I can still do so,' she resisted the urge to growl. A fire was growing within her soul, she wanted to avoid confrontation at all cost; yet, a part of Vega's body wanted to fight. There was no point for her to act on it though, she was not going to be able to win a battle. OoC| Sorry this is short and terrible :/

[atrb=background,http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/3046/kiratablemid.png][atrb=width,450,true] Akihra watched the black femme impatiently, waiting for her to make a decision on the situation at hand. The alphess was in need of pack members, so she was already decided on what would happen should this wolf choose to remain here. Surely she would be good for something to the pack, and they needed numbers. As Elu volunteered to care for the femme, she tilted her head to the side in confusion. Why would he step up to care for a wolf that he had just barely met, and also one who had intruded on their pack lands? It simply did not make sense to her. The peppered femme nodded her head in recognition of the brute's words before turning to look at Vega. "This is your decision, Vega. Whatever you choose, since Elu has so graciously volunteered to oversee your care, is alright with me," she explained, though there was a slight sharpness to her words. Akihra had never had someone to care for her other than her brother and sister, and even that care had been shoddy. The alphess was honestly jealous of Elu's kindness toward her, and she was eager to step away from the situation when given the chance. Akihra wanted to head back to the dens and patrol the territory; she could never be too safe. If Vega had made it into Kamari undetected, then this was a clear indication that their defenses were much too low. "Elu, I trust that you will hold true to your words if she decides to remain with Haishin," she stated earnestly, her mismatched eyes looking straight into his. The smaller femme was going out on a limb to trust his judgment, and she wanted him to know just how much it pained her to give into the wolves that wandered Kamari simply because she had no other options. Haishin needed a lot of work, and they had to work together to build it back up to its former glory. Without wolf-power, they were not going to be able to make it through the winter, let alone the next few months. Kamari was known for cold winters, and the game would become scarce as the prey migrated south. They would either have to travel to hunt, or they would have to work with others to keep fresh meat available to the pack. It was a daunting task, but hopefully, they could all do it together.

[atrb=background,http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/3953/eluptmid.png] Elu gave a slight nod to his Alphess, feeling relieved. He had managed to do the right thing, and Akihra wasn’t upset or angry. He moved back towards Vega, scenting her carefully. She wasn’t injured, or at least there was nothing recent afflicting her. Elu could tell, however, that Vega was weak, that much was painfully obvious. A soft sigh fell from his maw as he peered down into her face and eyes, though he pulled away quickly. Looking once more to his Alphess, Elu murmured quietly, ”I am no Shaman, my Lady, although it is my belief that Miss Vega needs rest, and meat.” He gave his Alphess a wry smile, understating his complete lack of knowledge for herbs and medicines. Elu dipped his head to Akihra, a small smile present upon his maw. He figured he might as well go hunting again, seeing as Vega obviously needed the nourishment, as did Akihra. Looking back to Vega for a moment, Elu said, ”I think I’ll go hunting, immediately that is. You look like you could use a good meal as well, Lady Akihra.” Elu smiled warmly at his Alphess, nudging her good-spiritedly before he padded away from the two femmes. They would feast soon, Elu would make sure of that. It had been a few days since he’d taken anything for himself, what with joining Haishin, meeting Vega, patrolling and everything else. He’d been feeling slightly tired, having not rested properly as of late, and he was sure that his hunting skills were going to be affected soon enough. Still, he wouldn’t rest until both of the femmes had gotten enough to eat. Elu padded away from the pack dens, searching for one particular create; a deer would satisfy them all well enough, at least until Elu had the time to truly hunt. Exit Elu Words;; 304 Muse;; Crap.
