He was the happiest wolf on the planet. He couldn't help the humongous smile that seemed to be permanently plastered there. A low, happy chuckle escaped his maw. He had spent the last forty-eight hours doing nothing but sleeping, laying beside his mate, and hunting with her. They had really only hunted once. Mostly, they had spent every waking hour cuddling and speaking in low, quiet tones. They whispered words of love, secrets, and happiness. They spoke of their future. Of the possibility--no, the probability--of their pups. Kismet always spoke of them as though they were already conceived, and growing in his mate's stomach. He couldn't help it. He wanted them so badly--suddenly--that he just couldn't help it.

His gait was a graceful prance. He stopped every few paces to push his nose gently into his mate's stomach and whisper a few words. It was different every time. But always filled with the same, affectionate tone. They were on the very edge of the Shydar. The meadow was at their right, the Nyjoro Hills to their left. Kismet stood on the side of the Hills. If someone should come from the meadow, he would see it easily. But if someone came from the hills on his left, they would hit him first, enabling Inaya and their pups to escape. He was alert for danger, but his main focus was on his mate, and the pups that he was so sure were growing in her stomach. Oh, how he couldn't wait. When he wasn't whispering to the pups, he was pressing his body into his mate's, licking her cheek, whispering in her ear, twining their tails; anything that expressed his abundant, unconditional love for her and his inexpressible joy.

They were heading for Xayar Forest, to join Airila. They discussed the subject, and found Airila to be the only real option. Well, the only pack that Kismet was comfortable with. And Inaya trusted him, and so she went along with his decision. And so they were on their way. And he was excited. And for once, completely unplagued by guilt or regret or turmoil. He hadn't had such thoughts or emotions since she had agreed to be his mate forever.

Inaya was blessed for the first time in her life. She felt the need to smile all the time to express how happy and thankful she was for her life right now. In the last forty-eight hours with the love of her life. From whispering to cuddling, she had been in heaven and she did not want to leave him; if she left his side, she left heaven. His eyes were the sky, he was a beautiful white guardian angel that always took her to the heavens. In the couple of days that had passed, he had whispered to her belly, as if the pups were already there, and she desired that they were there with all of her heart. She desired this as much as he did; a tender smile always formed on her lips every time he approached her belly and whispered words of love and affection. She knew that she had made the right choice of choosing Kismet, and of falling in love with him; if she had to repeat her life, she would have made the same decision of falling in love with him all over again. He was like a comfort in the desert of her life, and he had become in that refreshing oasis that once was thought of being an illusion... but in the end, it was as real as herself.

Their tails tangled, their bodies always were in tune with each other. Inaya had become so used to his scent that she couldn't live without it already. She trusted him blindly and truthfully, and she was always loyal to him, and she would follow him wherever he went. They had decided to go to Airila, because she desired to live within safe territory with Kizzy, and because she wanted their pups to live the pack life she never had, and to experience the life of what a true family a pack can be. She trusted Kismet with all of her heart, so she blindly said yes and happily followed behind him. As they walked, she noticed that they had arrived to The Shydar. The meadow was somewhat dry, but the grass was tall and dancing with the wind. There were some flowers scattered here and there that indicated that the winter was soon coming to an end. The day was bright and shining, and the breeze was cold, which made Inaya find comfort in Kismet's body. She walked close to him trying to keep warm. She looked around, analyzing her surroundings, and asked her mate a question. "My love, are we there yet? I'm excited!" She giggled and licked her mate's muzzle, lovingly awaiting for his reply.

It was a charming morning. Birds twittered noisily in preparation for spring. Three wolves moved north from the south. They had arisen early in the morning to head toward Tiayr and Caurus. Those were the only regions left of the island that they had not explored. Well, besides the packlands. But Sydas felt quite sure that Kismet, her uncle, would never join a pack. She knew how he felt about such things. And surely, after loosing his family, he wouldn't have the heart to join one. Sydas pranced about, swaying her tail to and fro. She chatted with Tchiya about various, unimportant things, and then shot ahead to scout the approaching terrain. This usually happened when a sudden difference of terrain came about. It was so odd; how diverse Anikira was. One section was dry, arid desert. Only a few miles away, luscious grass teeming with wildlife. Several miles further, a mountainous wall where apparent luscious forests were. And now, a wide range of varying sizes of hills. Most of the larger hills seemed to be more centerized; the small hills seemed to make up the edge of the territory. But it was still so bizarre, and yet wonderful. Constant, unending, diverse beauty. And on only one island! And Tas'alea, there had been a terrible jungle on the south side, and scorched deserts on the north. There was no real transition between the two, totally opposite terrains. The grass ended, and almost immediately, your paws touched desert. It was absolutely amazing. And when she had asked Tchiya why the island was so impossibly diverse, she had mentioned some old legend of a volcano erupting. It would help to make sense of the impossibility of it all, but it sounded like a story.

Now, Sydas dashed ahead, darting through the hills with incredible speed and grace. She climbed some hills, and then shot down the other side, and ran around others. She laughed merrily as she did so, only stopping to catch her breath when bouts of coughing choked her air supply. She kept looking for her brother, Kenai, but was having too much fun to really pay attention. Maybe he was with her, or maybe behind. She wasn't really aware of where her brother and their new friend were, but she didn't really care too much right this second. She kept darting up and down the grassy mounds, or dodging around them, all the while laughing. And then she crested the top of a hill, and her laugh silenced itself. The hills were all gone. Below her, passed another mile of smaller hills, stretched a wide meadow. Sydas's grey eyes sparkled in delight. A meadow! She was so focused on the meadow that she failed to see the two figures that were slowly making their way towards her. She turned her head to shout at Kenai.

Kenai, it's a meadow!

There was no need to explain. He would know. He would remember their enchanting meadow at home. And while this one didn't have the same color or wide range of grasses as tall as theirs--at least not yet--it had a secret beauty to it. Sydas grinned widely, and then jumped down the hill. She ran, at a slightly slower pace than before, around the remaining hills toward the meadow. And then she stopped cold when a voice trickled into her ears.

My love, are we there yet? I'm excited!

Sydas stared blankly. And then she forced her paws to move forward. She was standing beside the hill, just tall enough to cover her ears from sight. She was standing in its shadow, so that she was hard to see, but her grey eyes peeked out. She didn't know why the voice had made her heart thud. It was completely unfamiliar to her. She had never heard the voice. But something in her whispered, Who? Who was that voice talking to? She peered around the hill. Her ears picked up the sound of not four, but eight shuffling paws. It was probably just a mated pair, going...somewhere. It was of no consequence who they were, really. Not for Sydas. She should hurry to the meadow, or turn back and search those hills thoroughly for her uncle. She shouldn't be standing here, eavesdropping on a pair of mates. But something in her kept her there, as if her paws were glued to the ground. Something in the female's tone. It spoke of utter happiness, and trust, and love. It was the same voice that she herself used to speak to Kenai with, in tender moments. But there was something else in it that she had never heard before. Not even with her mother and father. Something like...rescue? Had she been rescued by this other wolf? Or had she rescued him? Is that why they were mated? Not because they loved each other, but because one had been rescued by the other in some way? So there was a sense of obligation, and not love, that brought them together. It sounded so wrong to her, that she just had to see them. And as soon as her grey eyes poked around the hill, her entire body froze. At first, a cold chill washed throughout her body. And then a sudden heat set her aflame. For she was totally, completely unprepared for what she saw.

A large Grey wolf stood still. Beside him, an extremely pretty Mexican Wolf. Her face was alight with the same emotions in her voice. Her eyes were the same color as Sydas's. But what caught her and froze her were the eyes of the Grey wolf. Because he was not grey. His entire pelt was ivory. A small, draping "blanket" of darker gray covered his back, and the rest of his ivory pelt was marked with very, very light shades of gray. And his eyes were blue. He looked like a ghost, in the ending of winter. Because there was no such thing as a Grey wolf with an Arctic's coloring and blue eyes. Grey wolves couldn't have blue eyes, and neither could Arctics. It was a rare color among wolf breeds, and even when mixed, it was unusual to have such a color combination. Almost impossible. So it had to be him. It would be unbearable torture for fate to have a complete replica of him who wasn't really him. But how could this be him? His blue eyes held something she had never seen in them before. Something so tender, so beautiful, that Sydas looked away. She felt that she was intruding in some private moment. But she could only look away for a minute, and then her eyes were locked on his figure once more. The male's nose touched the female's ear, and he whispered some reply to her. And then he moved to gentle push his nose into her stomach, and whispered something. His tone was full of tender affection, and eagerness that Sydas knew that the female must be pregnant with his pups, although she didn't show it. Her gray eyes filled with tenderness as her mate spoke to their pups. She seemed equally excited and happy about the pups. He was going to be a father; she was going to be a mother.

And now the cold overtook her body again. He had mated? She didn't think it entirely impossible, of course. But Kismet had just never really seemed the type. He seemed much to focused on his family to even think of such things. Of course, he hadn't had to deal with his family for almost two years. So maybe that had given him more time to focus on himself. The thought stung deeply. No...he wouldn't. He couldn't forget them! That was completely unlike him! He wasn't so cold. It was impossible. Maybe he had just...forgotten? No. Surely not. Surely he was lost. He had lost his mind trying to find his way home again, and because he was so insane, he had mated to try and forget. That was it. Sydas could not think pessimistically. She hadn't considered that he had lost his bearing and had simply been unable to even know where to begin to go back home. And so she thought he must have gone insane, and had fallen in love, and mated, to try to bring back the presence of his mind. That must be it. And so, it was with a patient attitude that Sydas slowly stepped out from behind the hill. The male had gone back to his mate's side, nuzzling her affectionately, and looked up only at the sound of Sydas's revealment. Sydas tentatively smiled, opened her maw, and quietly spoke.

Big brother?

It was a sort of test. Only Kismet would recognize the nickname. If it wasn't him, he would say something like, "No, I'm not your big brother." However, if it was him, he would understand. Surely Kenai was not far behind. Maybe he would reveal himself after she had spoken? She didn't know, but at the moment, she was only focused on the white Grey wolf before her. She longed to hear his voice, to hear the recognition in his voice and to see the recognition on his face. It had to be him.

Kismet.

TAGS Kenai @tchiya @kismet @inaya OOC WOW. Huge post x3 I'm having awesome muse<3 Your turn, Nymph!! I'm so excited 83

[Kenai]

After all the places they have found thus far have been searched, the three companions headed north as was planned. Kenai still wasn't too sure if their search would ever end. But the ever optimistic Sydas pushed for the better outcome like it was a lifeline, perhaps it was. Speaking of his sister...Dark sunset colored orbs watched her bound in and out, up and around seemingly every hill, bush, tree, anything that she could. He followed her at a slower pace and in a more direct route instead of the incredibly curvy one chosen by Sydas.

The excited call issued by Sydas caused the older brother to pick up his pace until he saw what she was talking about. He stood like a statue at the top of the hill and just stared, like Sydas he compared it to what they knew to be home. Alike and different at the same time, but nevertheless it reminded him of the home they left behind what seemed so long ago.

He kept back from Sydas, expecting her to dart off in elation and didn't want to be dashed into. But his bubbly sister stayed put, seeming to have heard something. "What is it, Sy?" She didn't seem to hear him as she walked back down in a trance-like manner. Thinking she sensed danger, Kenai disappeared into a nearby collection of shrubs to stalk whomever Sydas sensed was nearby.

It was after he was hidden did he see what Sydas saw. Two wolves. At first he was unable to see why they had such a strong effect on his sister as his vision was somewhat blocked by twigs. But the type of energy rolling off of his sister was strong enough for him to feel from where he stood. It was something they shared since they were young, an unspoken connection between the two.

A part of him wondered where Tchiya was, if this got nasty he didn't want her to get hurt. Yes, she proved to have very good hunting skills, but he didn't know her well enough to be familiar with how well she would do in a fight.

"Big brother?"

He was stunned at the words. The last ones he expected the hear. Did they really find their dear uncle? Having to see for himself, the large, muscular male known as Kenai stepped out of the bushes. At first just his head but after a brief pause he revealed his full stature. He had grown quite a bit since they have last seen Kismet, both of them had for that matter. Would he even recognize us? Ran around and around in his head. So much could and did happen since he left them.

The female standing next to the grey patched male was obviously a stranger to Kenai and because of his uneasiness with females, Kenai wasn't giving her much attention. Not from rudeness, mind, but the nervousness coupled with the shock of seeing his uncle - there wasn't much he could do besides look at Kismet with momentary glances to Sydas. The strong, quiet male didn't utter a word to anyone but waited for their 'big brother' to respond or something to indicate he remembered them.

    The hills seemed endless. Tchiya had only been to this place once or twice before, but it still made her feel giddy knowing that there was a meadow beyond the waves of land. She struggled to stay calm as Sydas did the opposite, tearing around the hills like an excited little pup. Eventually, she gave in to the rush of happy adrenaline and climbed the slope of the nearest hill. She came to its peak and paused for only a moment before sprinting down the other side. The white female did this a few more times, her figure dancing around the curvatures like a wild snowflake. An elated giggle fell over her lips. Her adrenaline died down much faster than Sydas’s did, and she continued to laugh as she watched her new friend take off across another stretch of hills. At least they were moving in the right direction. It wouldn’t be long until they came to the meadow.

    As if on cue, Sydas came to a stop at the top of a soaring hill. She stared for a moment before calling to her brother, announcing what she had found. The meadow, of course. Tchiya kept a constant grin on her face as she followed at an easy trot. She was a little behind now, but she didn’t care. It was nice to watch the siblings as they discovered the scenic diversity of the island. It made her appreciate the land for what it really was. And it was beautiful.

    Her feet moved more quickly as she saw that Kenai had already caught up with his energetic sister. He admired the shining grasses as well, but he still showed less enthusiasm than Sydas did. His eyes moved back to his sister at regular intervals, checking for any changes in her behavior. In most cases, the overprotective brother had nothing to worry about. But this time, something was different. Tchiya’s gait became cautious as she approached. Something wasn’t right here.

    Sydas had gone still. Her eyes - usually bright - had glazed over and were fixed on something in the distance. Kenai looked worried as she began to trail down the hill, and he retreated to a tangle of bushes. Were there other wolves nearby? If so, why was Sydas approaching them this way? With a tight whimper, Tchiya followed. She left several yards between them, crouching low to keep from being seen. Nothing changed for a while, and she thought about speaking up. Maybe she could ask Sydas what was wrong. Then the voice came.

    "My love, are we there yet? I'm excited!"


    Her ears pricked at the sound of the loving female. If it were a couple, hopefully they wouldn’t have too much to worry about. They wouldn’t be very aggressive.

    Tchiya’s instinctual thoughts about defending herself melted away when she saw what passed between Kenai and Sydas. The two siblings stared at the newcomers in disbelief, and the little female addressed one as “big brother”. The nickname confused the snowy female at first. After all, it was their uncle that they were searching for. But she thought that if perhaps this was only a term of endearment, then they had finally found the wolf they’d been looking for all this time. A bright glimmer of hope sparked in Tchiya’s mind. Hopefully it were true.

    She stood and waited for the interaction to take place, not wanting to interrupt and embarrass anyone. This was a private moment, and she felt so blessed already to be a witness. This reunion would be far more touching than the one between Kenai and Sydas. With a smile, Tchiya lowered herself in the tall grass and listened.

Inaya pressed her body into his, and he felt infinite bliss. How could he not? Every time she touched him, it alighted his body with a passionate fire. One that was both quenched and empty at the same time. Content and far from it. Oh how he loved her. She was simply perfect, and the most beautiful wolfess his strange blue eyes had ever beheld. Kismet's smile was dazzling. She seemed filled with energetic anticipation to reach Airila. But he was too. He couldn't believe it, but he was too. Her gray eyes sparkled and she smiled up at him. They paused as Kismet turned to push his nose into her stomach again. But before he had fully turned, she opened her maw to speak, and he turned back to listen.

My love, are we there yet? I'm excited!

Kismet smiled sweetly at her. He reached toward her with his ivory maw. He touched his black nose to her creamy ear, and whispered back a reply that he hoped would both make her shiver and giggle aloud. Or just full out laugh at him.

We are about half way there, my beloved Angel. Don't be impatient, love; you are already much too tempting, and it only makes you sexier.

The words felt both easy and strange in his mouth. Easy because it only seemed natural, and strange because he had never uttered such words. Not even once, or in his mind. To hide his fear of her reaction, he turned back to her stomach to whisper to the pups that he was sure were growing inside. He wondered how many there would be. Two, like Eclipse had had? Four? It would probably depend on Inaya, as, as far as he knew, his families had been rather small. One of his own siblings had been stillborn, and the other hadn't lived very long. Eclipse had only had two surviving pups before. And Inaya's first litter had been completely stillborn, although he didn't count that in his mind. It had been unnatural and forced, and they had been to result of incest. His mind steered clear of such thoughts though, as he whispered words of tender affection and eager hope to the pups. He was determined for them to know him from birth by his voice. And then he shivered and a huge smile jumped onto his ivory maw. I'm going to be a father! And that's when he heard it. A slight shuffling of paws. It was very quiet, very trained. He turned, quickly shielding his mate's body with his own. A pair of gray eyes watched him from the shadows of a hill. His ears pricked curiously. And then the figure revealed itself, speaking as it did so.

Big brother?

Shock.

Shock was the first emotion that flooded him. He was completely taken off guard. Only two wolves on the planet had every referred to him in this manner. His mind flashed back two years to two adorable pups. A female; chocolate brown with gray eyes. A male; creamy and tan with eyes the color of a sunset. Orange. They bounced around his paws excitedly, giggling at him, hanging on his every word. His eyes creased forwards.

Confusion.

And now he was confused. This she-wolf before him had the same eyes, but her coat was different. It was still chocolate brown, but it was a solid color like Seth. Her coat retained different colors, the chocolate lightening in many areas. Her face was much more creamy. And where was her brother? Did he still look the same, or had he lightened or darkened into another being as well? Kismet didn't relax his defensive posture, but you could see it in his blue eyes. The shock. The confusion.

Disbelief.

Disbelief suddenly exploded through his nerves. How? How had they found him? He didn't even know where he was geographically. And she only looked about two and a half...maybe three? Yes, spring was coming soon. She would be three then. Kismet closed his eyes and reopened them. How long had he spent trying to find his way home again before he gave up because he had lost all sense of direction? And now, she--Sydas--had found him? How? He hadn't taught them to track. At least, not yet. That had been his plan before the attack. Before he had gotten lost...

Hope.

He couldn't let himself hope. It wasn't her. It couldn't be. But his body wouldn't obey his mind. Hope jumped into him, surging through his veins. A tentative smile touched his lips. His blue eyes filled with hope, and longing filled his body. He wanted to run to her, and fill his nose with her scent. Was it her? Really and truly her? But he restrained himself. He had to be absolutely sure first; he had his mate and pups to think about. It could be an ambush to separate them, although he couldn't imagine how whoever had planned the ambush would know how to unsettle him. He opened his maw to speak when, suddenly, a large, muscular male stepped forwards. He stood by Sydas protectively, and his burnt-orange, sunset orange eyes flicked to the female every few minutes. That coat...

Sydas? Kenai? Is that you? Is it...is it really you? You've found me? Truly?

His voice started out dry and quiet, but after he asked, Is that you?, his voice quickly built in momentum and power until he was practically shouting. It had to be them. It just had to be. He didn't know if he could recover if it wasn't. Someway, somehow they had found him! A million questions bubbled up into his maw, but he swallowed them. He had to make sure of them first, and he was sure that they had their own questions. He would let them ask their own questions first. It was only fair. It was he who had done the disappearing act. And they must be wondering why, how he had gotten lost, why he hadn't come home, how he could settle down--as was obvious by Inaya behind him and the pups growing within her--and give up the hunt. And so he waited, anxiety prickling his fur. Only Inaya would be able to see this, as he hid it from his nephew and niece. But he knew that she wouldn't give him away. He had to be strong.

"We are about half way there, my beloved Angel. Don't be impatient, love; you are already much too tempting, and it only makes you sexier."

She giggled seductively and licked his cheek, feeling blood flush her face and form a huge blush. She thanked goodness for fur, because he would've seen everything. "Look who's talking, sexy boy." She laughed again and kept walking, pressed against his body, feeling every bit of his warmth enter her body. It was magical every time she did that--she could feel their bond grow stronger as time passed by. She smiled, feeling blessed to be by his side, and to make him so happy. Suddenly, Kismet's stance changed. He became defensive and protected her with his body, and he began to look directly at this one particular hill. She looked as well, and saw a figure standing still. From her scent, it was a female. Inaya tilted her head, and tried to figure out what was going on. Another wolf, a muscular and tall male, had entered the scene, standing protectively next to his sister. Inaya's eyes watered at the sight, and she placed her tail under her legs, and tried to hide behind Kismet. She didn't want anything bad to happen to her beloved pups that were growing inside of her tummy. Her heart beat fastened and her ears withdrew backwards. She whispered Kismet's name in fear, hoping that they didn't attack them or anything. A small whimper escaped from her maw.

Big brother?

Inaya's eyes widened, and then remembered that Kismet had told her about her nephew and niece, Sydas and Kenai. She knew how much he missed them, and she knew that he longed to see them every day. She noticed that he was still in defense mode, but his body language gave up a mix of emotions. From shock to disbelief to hope, she saw that he wanted to run up to them and embrace his family. But her mate stood still, trying to remain there to protect her at all costs. She heard her mate's voice, broken, hopeful, break the tension in the air. "Sydas? Kenai? Is that you? Is it...is it really you? You've found me? Truly?" Inaya squited her eyes trying to get a better focus. She really hoped it was them. She wanted to see her mate happy; she knew that they meant a lot to him, and she knew that he wanted them to reappear in his life, this time forever. She wagged her tail slowly, showing hope in her eyes that it was them. She was somewhat shy at new introductions, and her body language suddenly showed some signs of shyness and fear, but she managed to control herself. She stood still, hoping for the best.

Sydas was still frozen. She felt the heat of another body and knew that Kenai was beside her. She could feel the confusion, hope, and protectiveness in him. They knew each other so well that they sometimes could communicate silently. If only she could look into his sunset eyes, she would be able to convince herself that it was okay. But she just couldn't. Her gray eyes refused to move from the blue ones that were fixed on her. He had darted to protect his mate's body when she had revealed herself. His mate shrunk into herself, whining fearfully as she eyed the pair. But she didn't run. Sydas's eyes never left his.

He looked...real. In their training, he had always had a playful look, or a teasing look in his eyes. Or...something. But not now. The threat of them was clear. He was going to protect his mate and their pups with his life. This startled Sydas--the look in his eyes--so much so that she flinched away from him as if he had struck her. And then she watched a myriad of emotions slowly take place on his face. Shock, confusion, disbelief, and finally: hope. It was a disbelieving hope, like he couldn't let himself really hope. And it was this reluctant hope that convinced Sydas. Even before he spoke. And so, when he did speak, a huge smile jumped to her maw. Tears welled up and spilled over so fast that she didn't know where they'd come from. One minute, she watched him and his blue eyes. And then, a second later, all she saw was a white and gray blur with blue in its center. Before the first tear fell, however, she had quickly closed the space between them. She leapt forward and, in one bound, she shoved her forehead into his left shoulder. She nuzzled him affectionately, and then broke out into sobbing.

Kismet! It's you. It's really you!! Kenai said we'd never find you but I knew we would. You couldn't be dead, you just couldn't. Oh, Kismet...

She couldn't continue. The sobs racked her throat, throwing her body into shaking tremors that produced terrible hacking coughs that only shook her body into spasms. She was quite a sight to see, really. She looked deranged, as if she normally went through seizures. She felt the weight of his head on her neck, and collapsed into his side. For the moment, only she and him existed. Tchiya didn't exist in her mind, and Kismet's mate didn't either. Kenai was somewhere, but he wasn't with her. Not in this moment. All she knew was Kismet and herself. And she knew that she had found him. Despite all of the odds, all of Kenai's "realism", she had found him. She felt mildly angry at Kenai for being so pessimistic, but she couldn't hold the emotion for longer than a few minutes. She was so overcome with joy and relief and a sense of accomplishment that she couldn't think straight. She couldn't even remember her mission to take him home. All she knew was that she'd finally found him.

[Kenai]

The statue that was Kenai broke for a moment as Kismet stepped before the female in a protective way. The younger male could understand why and if he was in the same position Kenai knew he would do the same. But even so, he felt a little pain race through his heart at that moment. Did Kismet forget they were so close once? Was his trust in them shaken because of the passing of so much time? Kenai's ears lowered as he thought of such questions. Does he no longer love us?

Kismet's words destroyed that feeling. He was just in shock, right?

Sydas bolted ahead and tackled the older male just like they used to as pups. How often they wrestled with him, it was the most fun two little ones could have. Kismet made an excellent play partner, Kenai had confidence that the blue eyed wolf would prove to be so to the pups that his mate was evidently carrying at this moment.

Being the less emotional one of the siblings, didn't mean Kenai showed nothing. Twin paths forged their way down his handsome face as tears raced to the ground. "I've never been so happy to be proven wrong."

He wanted to bound right alongside Sydas and join the embrace, but with Kismet's mate appearing to be slightly scared Kenai wasn't about to bombard her atmosphere with sudden movement. He instead trotted close to Kismet and realized he was actually a couple inches taller, so different from what he was used to: craning his head back to look up at Kismet. "Forgive my doubt, big brother, please." A crack in his deep voice showed sincerity and genuine regret for ever doubting they would find him alive. Tears came faster and heavier as he lowered his head to Kismet, he knew now Sydas was right all along, without her, Kismet would forever have been missing.

Kenai stood on the other side of Kismet and reached out to place his head gently on his uncle's neck as he let tears take over his vision. The familiar white and grey fur held a slightly different scent now but it still felt like it always did, comforting and safe.

Words began pouring into the air. The older male with blue eyes guarded his mate at first, but as Sydas greeted him, his rigidness melted away. "Sydas? Kenai? Is that you? Is it...is it really you? You've found me? Truly?" his voice tripped and surged with the incredulity of it all. The pretty female at his side shrunk back with a whimper as Sydas bounded to his side. Her thoughts had been confirmed - her uncle was alive, and he was here. Kismet was here.

Tchiya's tail danced as Sydas spoke. "Kismet! It's you. It's really you!! Kenai said we'd never find you but I knew we would. You couldn't be dead, you just couldn't. Oh, Kismet..." More words. Beautiful words. The snowy female stayed hidden, her heart radiant. She watched Sydas nuzzle into Kismet's neck, terrible sobs knocking tremors through her body. Kenai was crying too, silently. Tears slipped down and away, tracing lines in his fur.

"I've never been so happy to be proven wrong. Forgive my doubt, big brother, please." The tears fell more quickly now. Kenai's sunset eyes glittered as he joined his sister at Kismet's other side. All the while, Tchiya's heart burned. Her throat ached. Her eyes stung. She felt a streak of cold on her face before she realized what it was - a stray tear that had loosed itself from the corner of her eye. Why was she crying? This wasn't her journey. In never was, really. She had led these siblings all around Anikira in search of their long lost uncle. Now, at last, he'd been found. What had she gained? Why was she crying?

Did Kismet remind her of someone? Did he resemble her father? Was some part of her longing for a happy reunion like this? Her eyes blinked convulsively, clearing away the thoughts. That couldn't be it. She'd been traveling for days and hadn't once thought of her father. She hadn't thought of her family at all, in fact. And she wasn't about to start now. She was crying because of how beautiful this reunion was. That was all. That was all.

Tchiya's verdant eyes refocused, gazing upon the relatives as they tearfully embraced each other. Finally, she extended her legs to meet her full height. She left the cover of the grass and moved carefully into sight, keeping a very safe distance to prevent startling Kismet's mate further. For once she wasn't thankful for her large figure. It would only make things harder for her.

An easy smile brought warmth and light to her face as she nodded to the small female. She bowed to Kismet next, dipping lower this time to show every bit of submission that she offered to him. "The last thing I want to do is interrupt this reunion, believe me," she said. "I only wanted to introduce myself so you wouldn't be startled by my presence. My name is Tchiya. I have been traveling with Sydas and Kenai for days now, helping them search for you. I'm native to this island, you see..."

The friendly expression remained on her face as she stepped a few inches closer. Hopefully Kismet would welcome her freely. She understood the defensive edge he was on, after all. It was clear that this pair had mated, and by the way he covered his mate Tchiya could only assume that she was expecting puppies at some time in the future.

Inaya's once defensive stance was nonexistent now when she saw that the wolves that were in front of her weren't a threat after all. She smiled and backed up a few steps when she saw that the female wolf crashed against Kismet after having exchanged some words of disbelief, hope and forgiveness. She was choking in tears, trembling, and her stance even looked painful to Inaya. She began to remember how lost she was before Kismet; she remembered when she cried like that, but with no one to cry on. She remembered when she cried and no one listened. But, in a second, she snapped those thoughts out of her mind--she now had Kismet, and she now had a family, and she now had hope. She understood Sydas completely. She knew how life was without Kismet. The male wolf came in and also took part of the beautiful reunion scene. She could sense his happiness, yet she could also sense his regret and guilt. For some reason, she could sense his emotions. They were so connected that she could feel when he was happy, sad or hopeful. She could know the difference, and that blew her mind. She stood quiet, letting the moment pass, and letting Kismet absorb all this new information. She knew that he was in shock, and she was too. She couldn't believe that his dream had just come true. After all, she knew how devastated he was when he lost them. He told her, and his past reactions reflected how much he missed his family. She lowered her head a little in a sign of respect. A smile formed in her lips; it was a smile of thankfulness and admiration for their perseverance. At the reunion, she caught another scent in the distance, but she ignored it. She kept on the lookout, looking over the hills and such, but she kept her concentration on Kismet and the two wolves. She knew that if something would happen, they would protect her and the pups.

Her beloved spoke; his voice was broken from the tears, but he managed to speak. "Sydas, Kenai, this absolutely gorgeous wolf is Inaya, my mate. Angel, this is my nephew, Kenai, and his sister, Sydas. I believe I have told you about them." Inaya smiled at the heartwarming introduction he gave. She loved how he told them that she was absolutely gorgeous. She loved all those little details about him... how she loved him! "It's a blessing to finally meet you two. You have no idea how much Kismet missed you guys. I am really happy that you are together again now!" Her tail wagged, and her expression was one of pure bliss and happiness. However, it was quickly disrupted when the scent she had caught earlier grew in intensity. The source of the scent appeared behind the hills; it was a snowy white wolf with beautiful jade eyes. Her eyes widened a little bit in fear and realization--was this wolf spying on them? For what purposes? Was it a member of that dreaded pack she had heard about? Her body began to tense, but her thoughts and actions were interrupted when the wolf showed submissive body language and then spoke. 

"The last thing I want to do is interrupt this reunion, believe me. I only wanted to introduce myself so you wouldn't be startled by my presence. My name is Tchiya. I have been traveling with Sydas and Kenai for days now, helping them search for you. I'm native to this island, you see..."

Inaya smiled at the words of the wolfess. She clearly meant no harm, and she was really nice and sweet. Inaya smiled, feeling a little bit shy surrounded by so many wolves, yet she managed to stay strong. Her urges to stay quiet and curl up in a ball were strong, but because of her strong love for Kismet, she wanted to be strong. Kismet spoke softly to the femme, and Inaya smiled when she heard his voice. "I am Kismet, Tchiya, and this is my mate, Inaya. I am glad to hear that my nephew and niece have already made a friend to keep them out of mischief. Do you know of their gifts yet, or have they cleverly concealed them from you?" Inaya made a small giggle at Kismet's question, and smiled at the other wolf. "Hello, Tchiya. Nice to meet you." Out of nowhere, Kismet looked at Sydas, then at Kenai, and then at herself. Inaya's eyes locked on his, and she could tell that he was in pure bliss and happiness. Her eyes watered suddenly because she felt so happy for him. Her tail wagged a little bit and she winked at him, still with that huge smile on her face. She was unsure about what they would do now, but she sure hoped that they stayed with them at least for some amount of time.

Something strange was happening. Sydas felt like she was in a dream. She had dreamed of this moment for a long time. Sometimes it had turned into a nightmare, but most of the time it ended with Kismet heartily agreeing to come home with them, without hardly any explanation at all. She heard her brother's regretful voice break and felt his fur brush her own as he moved the stand beside her and touch their uncle. She just couldn't help her sobs. After a few minutes, she was able to get control of herself and quieted. She looked up, a goofy grin on her face, and noticed the beautiful female behind him for the first time. And this was why she knew it wasn't a dream. Because in her dreams, he had never had anyone with him. It had been him and him only. Kismet seemed to sense her averted attention because he half-turned to face the she-wolf. Sydas' mind had somehow gone through a short memory lapse. She couldn't remember this female being there. Who was she?

Kismet proceeded to introduce them to her. He called her 'Angel', and introduced her as his mate, Inaya. Sydas' ears perked curiously at the word. Mate? Uncle Kizzy...with a mate? Normally, she would have been overjoyed at this news. He had finally found someone! But not today. Today this was offensive. Who did she think he was, waltzing in and stealing her uncle? The hair on her neck bristled slightly, but her facial expression didn't change. She was simply on edge. Inaya smiled, and spoke, gray eyes filled to the brim with pure bliss. He told you about us? Really? And you're...you're happy that we're reunited? Don't you know what this means? Before anyone could respond, Tchiya revealed herself. Sydas didn't turn for the salutations that passed between her new friend and Kismet. Her body was frozen. Her limbs were stiff. Her gray eyes stared into Inaya's gray eyes. They couldn't leave. And her own gray eyes slowly changed from silvery white to a dark, stormy gray. Her hackles slowly inched higher and higher, and her eyes became very slightly accusing. Ignoring her uncle's teasing question, and without taking her eyes off his mate, she spoke. Her voice gave her away. It was broken, but not in joy. No. It was broken in utter torment and despair. It gave away how she felt: betrayed and abandoned. She had just found her big brother; she could not be expected to just leave!

You're coming back with us, right? Kismet...you can't stay here. You know that, right? Mother is half-dead with worry. She thinks that you're dead. Father is doing all he can to keep her alive, but she's growing sicker and weaker every day. He's pretty much raising the pups by himself. Your mate can come too, of course, I would never make you leave her. She's very sweet, Kismet, but...you have to come back with us, Big Brother. You are coming, aren't you?

Sydas' voice wasn't harsh, but her words were. She couldn't help it. She just couldn't help it. Maybe Kenai's pessimism was rubbing off on her, but she was suddenly overwhelmed with the fear that he wasn't leaving Anikira. That he wouldn't be coming home. And for some reason, that hurt. And it hurt her badly. Her expression towards Inaya was not unkind, but it was accusing. It kept changing from that to agony and back. She didn't want to be so cruel. She dearly wanted to meet this wolf who had stolen his heart, but it was like some barrier had been built between them for the time being. It agonized her to be this way, but she couldn't help it. This wolf had stolen her uncle, it seemed, and now her uncle wasn't going to leave. She didn't know how she knew this, but she just knew it.

TAGS Kenai @tchiya @kismet @inaya OOC Nymph, I choose you! LOL YAY.<33 reply soon everyone!

[Kenai]

Kismet's warmth withdrew which caused Kenai to open his eyes once more and watch the slightly shorter form retreat a few feet away. Sunset orbs locked onto the female that was found with his uncle as Kimset introduced them. Falling back onto long ago learned etiquette, Kenai performed a deep bow to the lady Kismet deemed his angel. She looked pleased with this reunion even to so far as to call it a blessing.

Tchiya shortly revealed herself and Kenai felt a pang of guilt thread its way through his form: he completely forgot about her. Looking back at her, he lowered his head in apology, hoping that she would understand and forgive him. Since she wasn't giving him any direct forms of disappointment, Kenai let himself believe that she wasn't bothered about it.

Kismet's teasing statement caused Kenai to blush, he didn't expect Kismet to draw such pointed attention to him as Kenai felt Sydas' talents were much more interesting, she could talk to birds for crying out loud. But the atmosphere changed as he registered Sydas' sudden shift in disposition. She looked hurt, confused and maybe even betrayed.

Looking back at the wolf standing before them, Kenai tilted his head and let his dark eyes shift from Kismet to Inaya. He knew the gray and white male wouldn't leave, not now that he had a family here. Sorrow touched Kenai's heart for a moment as he looked to his beloved sister, he wanted to say something to her but with how shaken she was he knew his chocolate colored sibling would most likely snap at him.

"Our mission must be changed. We searched for you, meaning to bring you back, but things have evolved beyond what we expected." Kenai's realism was setting in, he needed to bridge the two views as best he could. "Sydas, my darling sister, you know as well as I that a wolf carrying pups wouldn't make the trip unharmed." He looked back to Inaya, "If I am not mistaken, dear lady, you may very well be developing such little ones."

He sighed a little, trying to order his thoughts as he spoke, trying to avoid Sydas' temper and not hurting Kismet. "It would be impossibly selfish of us to ask that you return with us. You raised us - giving us everything you could but now you have a new family.....we must accept that you have a new chapter in your life that doesn't concern us as your main focus any longer." As much as it hurt him to think it, Kismet wasn't going to be there for their siblings back at home like he was for the two of them. "Your pups need you here and without distraction from your younger nieces and nephews."

He wasn't sure how he could face their mother. They promised to bring Kismet back, but who knew he would have settled down with a mate? Compromise must be made, at least they knew he was alive.

    Tchiya watched in fascination as the scene unfolded around her. Kismet softened quickly and greeted the snowy female - to her relief - with polite words and a kind, gentle voice. Her mind suddenly jumped to the idea that Kismet and his mate may have already conceived a litter of pups. With such a tender voice, Tchiya could see the blue-eyed male making a wonderful father. Her face brightened with a happy grin. "The pleasure is all mine," she said, dropping her head in respect once more. "Thank you for your kindness. You have a lovely family. Kenai was the first wolf I met after leaving home, and Sydas was the second. I couldn't have asked for a better pair to travel with. And I'm just so glad that they've finally found you..." Tchiya felt her smile grow, and for a moment she worried that it would stretch from ear to ear. This reunion wasn't hers to enjoy, but she felt just as happy as the rest of them. Her eyes moved to the pretty female - she introduced herself as Inaya - and she offered a quick wag of the tail in response to her nice greeting. "It's lovely to meet you as well, Inaya. Kismet is lucky to have such a beautiful mate."

    Her emerald eyes shifted again, to Kenai. His movement had attracted her attention as he bowed in apology. What was he sorry for? Not introducing her in the first place? She giggled lightly and winked at him, all trespasses forgotten. More words entered the air as Tchiya settled in to listen, her posture reserved and disciplined. She would not disrupt them any more than she already had. Her ears flicked occasionally as the words came from different voices and tones. One voice in particular had been sharpened, hiding pain and accusation in its depths. Tchiya frowned. "You're coming back with us, right? Kismet...you can't stay here. You know that, right?" What was Sydas saying? Did they really intend to find their way home again, after telling their new friend how much they enjoyed being in Anikira? Tchiya tried to drown the pang of disappointment that twisted in her chest.

    "Mother is half-dead with worry. She thinks that you're dead. Father is doing all he can to keep her alive, but she's growing sicker and weaker every day. He's pretty much raising the pups by himself." Tchiya heard these words and tried to understand. The rest of their family needed them. They were waiting for them somewhere, worried and alone. "Your mate can come too, of course, I would never make you leave her. She's very sweet, Kismet, but...you have to come back with us, Big Brother. You are coming, aren't you?"

    Kenai spoke too, offering to change their plans to accommodate the tiny pups that were most likely being carried by Inaya. He was right - traveling that distance would definitely hurt the pups, not to mention their mother. Tchiya managed a small nod in Sydas's direction. Hopefully she would understand. Her brother spoke to their uncle again. "It would be impossibly selfish of us to ask that you return with us. You raised us - giving us everything you could but now you have a new family..." The snow colored girl noticed the pain on his face as he paused. "...we must accept that you have a new chapter in your life that doesn't concern us as your main focus any longer." 

    Her eyes stung again. This wasn't fair. This entire situation - it was turning out to be sadder than she'd anticipated. Weren't reunions supposed to be full of embraces and happy tears and words of love and affection? Why had all of that been cut short? Her whole body went back on its haunches. This wasn't right. They couldn't end things this way. Tchiya's throat burned with unspeakable words. She wanted all of them to stay. Her mind recoiled at the thought of losing her only friends, and though she knew it was selfish, she wanted to feel angry with them. Why hadn't they told her that they planned on leaving? It wasn't fair of them to let her get so attached when a week later they planned to rip themselves out of her life. Her heated stare locked with another pair of eyes, but she looked away before she could register who it was. Embarrassment swelled inside her, painting her cheeks with blush. Luckily her fur concealed the worst of the color.

    No, she told herself. You're the one being unfair. She couldn't be selfish in the midst of happiness - or even what used to be happiness. There was no point in adding to the conflict. Tchiya stared irritably at the soil between her paws, not voicing her opinion on the matter. Her opinion had no weight anyway. This was a family decision, and she was merely a friend. One white paw scratched at the grassy earth as the dread settled deep in her stomach. She wanted them to stay. Hopefully they would stay. All of them. Kismet and Inaya. Sydas. Kenai.

    She didn't want to be alone again.
