WolfSpirits 10 year Anniversary 1:38 PM 2/25/2011 * Kovo it wouldnt take her long to reach the clearing and when seh did, her tail swung high behind her as seh would bound through the powdery snow like a young wolf. She would lower her muzzle flinging snow into the air before she would pad towards the center of the clearing and when she did, she would let out a long deep howl. * Fhaoli watched the wolf he had spoken and played with the day before - not that he would admit to play in the earshot of his family without being forced to do so - and spared her a soft smile and a dip of his head. "Hello Dakoda", he returned her greeting in gentle tones before his ears locked forwards, eyes finding the wolf bounding wildly into the clearing and offering her call. The Alpha Kovo, Cut»» Cont»» he knew. Another bow of his head, this one far lower, was directed to her before he perked to watch her expectantly. * Canadil flexxed her auds from her resting quarters and raised her blurred crimson glance up towards her sister. Getting up to move towards Kovo quietly. Her snowy pelt moving with the ripple of her great build. * Noxion perked his ears when she heard the howl of his alpha, increasing his pace. Soon emerges at the edge of the clearing, stepping slow but sure, the black wolf standing out against the white snow. His dark amber orbs sparkle a little as he steps into the light. You called us?, he asks as he approaches his alpha, his head lowering in respect. He seems to be in an exceptional happy mood today, his tail high and wagging. * Kovo she would swing her tail and dip her head "Aye I have a few things to announce.." she would look out to the rest who began to gather and smiled ever so. * Fhaoli smiled to Dakoda softly and gave a nod of his pale head, the mask of darker browns over his face running along his back and sweeping down his sides, which became visible when he sank to his haunches. While his ears were kept to Dakoda, one eye was on Kovo as ever in wait. "Aye, as did I. It was nice to let my guard down for a while", he agreed with his new-found friend. "I would like to announce that today is a day that should be remembered by all. The pack of WolfSpirits has reached a milestone this day." she began, her voice quiet boisterous and proud " The pack in which you stand with today, friends and family alike, has surpassed a mark that not many can have the privilage of being able to pass. Through the death of old and the birth of new, our »» »» legacy, my legacy continues throughout the passing of time and though changed we may be, our spirits still remain strong and true. Unity of family. Bond of loved ones. Strength in heart and True Spirits is what keeps us together." she would look to each with with soft eyes. " Today, WolfSpirits celebrates its 10th year!" her voice would now arise to the air in a deepened howl, a prideful »» »» howl as her words would echo her very heart. A nice thick dusting of snow had covered his frame throughout his motionless part of the blizzard that was. Where there once were rocks, now stood a stacked pile of millions of crystalline flakes. Funny how it was...that he and his mate would bundle together against the cold and that these inanimate flakes would bundled together against the warmth. He licked at the few flakes on his paws, cut»» cont»» continuing to fling his tongue across his charcoal nose as he began to get up from his rest. * Fhaoli is now known as Fha|True|Blood * Dakoda would listen to Kovo and let out a deep howl.She remembered how Kovo tok her in and gave her a place to call home.She was greatful for this. * Noxion immediately join her howl with his own, discordant, yet joyful one. He is among the more recent members of the pack, nonetheless he is proud to be part of it. * Canadil lifted her own howl for a home that was her's for so many years. Her ears lowering as her muzzle tipped upward. The large white wolfess seated upon her haunches, when she dropped her head she watched the youngins around her and her sister again with a blurry vision. * Atraya feeling the stirr of her mate would prompt her own. She would give a gentle wiggle of her frame as her eyes opened and even small flakes clung to the very thin and small eyelashes above her eyes. She would wiggle her nose again as she proded her mate before she too began to lick herself free of the layer of snow that had gathered a top each others frames. * Bellarina would suddenly bound into the clearing calling in her odd discordant howl multi pitched and heavy. She shook her frame back and forth as she raced in then sent snow spraying out from all angles as she smiled the snow catching the light and shining like crystals. Kinta has 4 HP and has 158 experience. Kinta has won 5 out of 14 total fights. * Kovo her tail swung high behind her and she would smile looking out "I have some exciting things to share with everyone today. Others have offered to share some stories as well, so hopefully they too will arrive" a murrr would escape her as she still was in quiet a contentful mood. "An early little share, for those of you on DeviantART WolfSpirits is now a Super Group! There will be a lot »» »» more features coming for it and Im really excited to bring it forth to everyone" her tail swung quickly behind her. * Noxion turns his head as he heard the call of his mate, his eyes perking and his tail wagging even faster now. He can't help but bark joyfully as the incredicly fast fae is approaching. * Bellarina would grin as she shook her tail back and forth. Her eyes were bright and sparkling as she came into view of her alphaess a tail flicking rapidly over the earth sending up sprays of snow. * JungenGeist would turn and would pad to kovo and would sit a few feet away, listening to her with a smile. * Kovo she would dip her head slowly "Again, those of you who are celebrating this joyful day with me, I thank you. Without you, WolfSpirits would only be the reflexed image of a dream and nothing more. Spirit I know would and is very proud" * Canadil smiled to the sound of Spirit's name. She missed her other sister and would think that Kovo missed her even more. Her tailswished softly. There was just too much snow on him to get it all groomed free. So, he took the liberty of escaping the confining rocks he had spent a good portion of two days in before shaking himself loose. Snow dusted the air about him in an extended shadow of white flakes that flittered there way to the ground. Finally, a good and sensible winter he could grasp hold of with his paws...and that he did. cut»» cont»» Bounding from one place to the next in the untouched snows. * _Jay slowly shifted away within the cave where she spent the night with Kovo. When her eyes flickered open she noticed Kovo was gone and quickly jumped to her feet and moved out of the cave. She wasn't far from the clearing and could hear some movement of wolves from within it. After a few glances around she was happy to see the storm had stopped, even if the ground was cluttered with debris. She turned .. <_Jay> ..her head slightly, remembering it was the anniversary of the pack and starting making a slow trot towards the clearing. She had mixed emotions about sharing her story but none of it showed with her neutral expression as she moved and entered the clearing. lol, "cave she spent night with kovo, saw kovo gone", one night stand...heeehheeee) Fun was...fun, but the excitement of snow was shadowed by the reality of what it often brought. It wasn't as he was keen on the idea of visiting the clearing, but their son was still ill experienced at the lot. He knew that if he hadn't found shelter then he would be in a fair bit of danger. The clearing was just the logical place to start looking... He gave his mate a brush of his frame and cut»» cont»» began slowly off... * Stormwalker looks about himself, still lying near his mate, WolfMoon. He was lying near the base of the mountain among some outcroppings of rocks, which had provided shelter during the blizzard. --- OOC ---- So, the WolfSpirits site is getting a makeover. For those of you who havent seen the mockup go here: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b108/kovowolf/WolfSpirits_Redesign50.jpg Its still a WIP, moving the news around and what not but that is the gist. I've taken a lot of time, money and effort throughout the years to create the world I have envisioned in my head for WolfSpirits and I think the new website will really help that and also, help me manage things and keep it up to date. Mostly because I can get the help of everyone else. But some of the features will be: You can edit your own profile (like FB), Upload pictures, blog (maybe), you »» »» will have your own profile page ie: http://www.Kovo.WolfSpirits.org (still working on), Email if you want it, upload videos, manage news ( for those who will get permission to it ), be able to post on the “front page” under wolf related articles,news etc, interactive wolfspirits MAP! (Hopefully you will be able to add your own den) and other features that Im discussing with a programmer to »» »» implement. Even Bot implementations such as exp and distribution of points. AWESOME! Yes! :D It will be really exciting amazing and woo! Most of all, Im really looking forward to the profile pages. Why? Because we can finally have profile pages and you can edit your own content. You can link yourself to other wolves so for example: Kovo: SisterS: Spirit & WolfMoon. It will link to Spirit and WolfMoons pages. I will end up shutting down the server with too many links :p * Atraya she would brush her mates frame softly and though indeed it was fun to move about in teh snow, they hadn't come across their son before the blizzard. A whine escaped her and she would move to the clearing with Faolan. Her paws quick and agile. I am really excited to bring to you all a little something special I've been working on for sometime now. I haven't perfected it yet, so sending these out will take just a little time but I want you to know I put a lot of time/effort/love into each of them. There is a lot to be said for a pack who has lasted this long and it is due to those who have contributed to its success. We've laughed »» »» together, cried together, fought together and resolved differences. In many ways we symbolize the very essence of what a pack really is and should be. A family. Without the dedication of every single person and loyalty of each heart we truly wouldn't be where we are today. We've gone through a lot of changes, a lot of heartaches and a lot of joyful times but regardless of what may pull us apart »» »» be It IRL or otherwise, we manage to keep together in as many aspects as we can. So as a token of my appreciation and a symbol of my gratitude to my members and family I want to present a little gift. «end Now note, it isn't completely finished yet only because I want to make them semi-customized for each individual member of the pack. Also, there will be certain things that can be added to it later on which I will go into detail in just a moment. But I want to present this to you all. Its a wolf necklace that I am making for each member of the pack. To give you an idea of what it will look like »» »» go here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/62598708/harry-potter-wolfsbane-potion Charm: http://www.sterlingsilvercharms.us/xi/c/ch3806.jpg ( note it contains sterling silver ) Inside the vial will be a glow in the dark paint (pigmented or not, still deciding. Pigmented means you can see the color in the daytime of whatever the glow is. Nonpigmented means you can't see it, its clear ((white)) I've talked to the artist and told her I was looking into doing something a little similar to this but not completley, ours will be unique. Why? Because I plan on making some custom charms for the pack like rank symbols and other various things can be added to it. What I want to know from you all is which glow color would you like your vile to have? Choose from here: http://www.glonation.com/unpigmented-glow-paint.html blue and red make purple ^.^ to ans. your inquiry Kovo There will be a lot more to it :) but that is just to give you an idea of what it will look like. Easy enough for the nightly Nox, blue for me :) oh my Kovo they are amazing :) ah, so that is what the website on all those glow in the dark paints was all about. WolfMoon linked em to me few days ago wow Stormwalker: Arnt those epic :P I am so doing my ceiling like the galaxy ty Kovie ^.^ that is so sweet I only see em as being quite useful for when going to....erhmmm....right....PG-13 here. well, clubs, yes, let's call them clubs! blue and red make purple ^.^ to ans. your inquiry Kovo There will be a lot more to it :) but that is just to give you an idea of what it will look like. Easy enough for the nightly Nox, blue for me :) wow the aqua is awesome or white/silver for the moon hun * JungenGeist peaks head out from under desk with a tazer." i understand..." ducks back down under desk.. but anything you do would be amazing! Kinta: I was orignally going to go with a white/silver for the moon too. But I wasnt sure, so I figure I would get your guys opinion on what color youd like it to glow. Also, soon there will be tshirts and the like available on cafepress. I have an artists helping me with our logo :) <_Jay> i think the white looks awesomest and feels more like wolfspirits than the other colors ohh i like the white, closest to the silver i would ideally have in there, for miss bella's eyes of course To give you an idea of our logo wow Kovo <3 ws is quite amazing It will look something like this: http://tanathe.deviantart.com/gallery/26366201#/d23e8nq <_Jay> will my name come without the annoying _ ? ^^' lol you have to keep that annoying _ Not exactly, obviously, but it will incorporate the moon and "Spirits" <_Jay> *gasp*! Neva! Nox: There is another company I think does oh if silver could be found that would be ahmazingg Bella: I can look :) yep either the dark blue or a white/silver for me hun ^.^ final thought So, those are the major things I really wanted to share with you all <3 fab :) I know a few of you wanted to share some stories and what not, so feel free to do so whenever but let me know so I can put people in order ----- IC --------- * _Jay stepped into the clearing with her paws crunching in the snow and noticed a small gathering of wolves. She let out a chuff to those present, telling them of her presence before she entered with a light wave of her tail and her eyes glancing from one wolf to the next that lingered in the clearing. She noticed Kovo standing atop her rock and slowly padded towards her letting out a light huff to catch her attention. .. <_Jay> ..When she was closer she would whisper softly, "I'd like to tell my story to those that are here." She glanced around at the wolves present, not currently seeing Kinta. It was a shame she wasn't there, but there would be other ways to gain the fae's trust. * Kovo her eyes would draw to Jay as she approached. She would dip her head slowly and offer a warm smile to her, tail waving. Glad to see she was doing better and warm as well rested. "Please step forward Jay and share with us your story" her ears perked curiously forward for she herself was very curious to hear it. * Noshoba seeing the others gathered, he gives a last shake of his frame and starts to pad on over to join the gathering. It had been a long time this family had been together. * Kinta would be curled right next to Kenyon, she hadnt much left the den and would be sound asleep for now * _Jay took a step or two away from Kovo and turned her frame outward so she faced all the wolves gathered. She leaned back on her haunches to relax herself for the long story with a hint of worry some wolves would be angry or disappointed although she didn't show it. "Okay, well, this is a true story and it happened a very long time ago before we even came to this place. Back in the old WolfSpirits territory. It was a few .. <_Jay> ..months ago, maybe less, when Atraya was pregnant and expecting pups. There was a problem going around and it was a wolf that continued to try and steal food from our cache, sometimes he would get some and sometimes he wouldn't. It wasn't long until he was attacked and given a warning not to steal any food again. A week passed in peace but he was caught stealing .. <_Jay> ..again and with Bella and Noxion we killed him and buried his body near the border so it wouldn't attract predators. Everything seemed alright after that and there was some peace for a few weeks as things seemed to return to normal. I think back then I was just an pledge in the pack back then and was thinking of becoming a scout. There was a noise of a wolf coming in from the border and I .. <_Jay> ..went to go greet him but it turned out to be a large brute. He kept talking about how we had to return his brother to him safe and sound, Tino, or else the pack would suffer greatly and he'd kill some wolves off. Unfortunately, it was the wolf we killed for stealing that was this Tino..." She paused for a moment, taking a breath before continuing again in a moment. * Kovo her eyes would fall to Jay as seh would listen intently to her words that she would share with the rest of the pack and those who present to listen. A smile would purse along her lupin muzzle as she would listen to memories of what seemed like yesterday unfold before her. * Kinta would awaken with a yawn looking to Kenyon, her ears perked up as she lick upon his nose. * Noxion nods, remembering the stealing wolf very well, it might have been the point where he decided to be a guardian, though he still does feel a bit sorry to some extend for Tino * Noshoba was not known for being an overly aggressive wolf unless directly challenged. Seeinmg no threat, he shrugs his shoulders and goes back to listening Jay and the others. The old Guardian had many things to think on , including prehaps time to move to Elder and be grandpa and teacher to his expanding number it seem lately of grandpups. But plenty of time for that. Time to enjoy the * Noshoba company of cut »» cont »» his old family and friends. * JungenGeist would listen o jays words closly, waiting for her to continue, wanting to hear the rest of her story. * Stormwalker seems to ponder the story, seeming inclined to speak yet he remained still and patient as he listened to the story unfold. * _Jay continued again, lowering her gaze to look at the snow rather than any wolf. "The larger wolf threatened the pack's lives then left quickly. Larka stopped me from chasing after him and we returned to the pack to warn everyone. Patrols picked up a bit and everyone was careful but nothing seemed to go wrong. After a week or two of silence, Atraya had her puppies. I was in the clearing when I heard about it and despite .. <_Jay> ..Wild telling me not to I wandered towards the den. I didn't approach the den, but stood a good distance away. Kovo was outside guarding the den and I could hear Faolan and Atraya inside with their newborn puppies. All I did was dip my head to congratulate Kovo on the puppies and to tell Atraya and Faolan the same, then I left heading away from the clearing. No one was with .. <_Jay> ..me and Wild went back to the clearing to talk with Noxion. Despite everyones happiness, all I could think about was that wolf and the fear that he might attack and kill one of the puppies if they wandered away from the den or if Faolan or Atraya were just one yard too many away from him to stop it. On my way through the forest I saw an old mud puddle and masked my scent in it before continuing to the border. Looking back .. <_Jay> ..on it, I find my actions a bit foolish but my only thought was keeping the puppies safe. When I reached the border, I took a deep breath then began to track down and kill the wolf that threatened their lives." She continued looking at the snow, truly feeling stupid for running off like she did. * Faolan continued on into the clearing, having found no trace of his son's scent along their path. He could see and smell those gathered within the clearing itself and took a moment to gather who exactly was there and to whom those scents he could discern belonged to. * Atraya she was not far behind her mate and would again nose him now and then as seh would hear the voices of others, well, perticularly one, on the winds. She would give a deepened breath as seh would stop at the clearings edge, peering in. * JungenGeist would continue listening to jay, imagening everything in his mind as jay spoke. * Kovo her mind would mingle about the said memories as she indeed remembered such. The birth of her grandchildren and seemingly only one of them, a grandson, was about and awake. Regardles she was blessed for even that and as Faolan and Atraya would appear she swung her tail quickly behind her. Her lineage, her line after her own life has ended in this world. It was a monumental thought that hit »» »» her but she kept her eyes on Jay, listening intently still. She remembered very much all of what she spoke and Jays dedication to seeing them safe. * Canadil flexxed her auds and felt the scar of the hunter on her shoulder. She too had a moment where she had to track and kill for the safety of a pack pup. Listening in continuously however. A frown to the story. * SilverEyes Kenyon would perks his ears his forward and peeks out at Kinta curiously before opening his other eye and nosing her gently. He let out a soft yawn and stretched as much as he could within the small space in the den. * Stormwalker seems to shift where he sits as he patiently listens to the story. His piercing, yellow eyes looking intently at Jay. * Kinta would smile then paw at Kenyon's scruff playfully before stretching too. theough she would grunt and frown as she realized the den was snowed in some what. * Kokuro had found himself some cover during the blizzard and was making his way back to the clearing. The youngster could pick up the scent of many wolves upon the winds and it looked to be fun not to be the only one around. * Faolan huffed lightly, nae yet scenting his son. Perhaps the others had seen him or perhaps not. When it came to asking for information, many were very cut off...Quietly, he approached while glancing across each wolf with his amber hues... * Kenyon gruffs as the available space in the den disappears as Kinta stretches also. He nips her flank lightly and playfully before moving to the den entrance and poking his nose out of the small hole, sniffing the air lightly as he did so. His body shivered a little as his nose came into contact with the cold air and he quickly withdrew, their den was nice and toasty warm with both of * Kenyon their body «cut» «cont» heat.. He was hesitant to want to leave it. * _Jay looked up now and noted all the wolves present, feeling a little pressure but had to continue the story now, cliffhangers are so annoying. "Without a sense of smell, it was very difficult to try and find him and for a long while all I had to go on was just scarce rumors I gathered from loners and other packs. Hunting was difficult alone and I often had to live off fish and voles and hardly ever anything larger than .. <_Jay> ..that. There was a day or so of questionable tracking when one loner gave me a good bit of information. It was an old loner, male, and was probably moving on his last few days when I met him. He saw the wolf a day or so ago heading off north and without any other leads I had to believe him and set off. It started to get dark out and while it would have been better for me to have rested in the .. <_Jay> ..cold night, I kept heading north and eventually came across some tracks. They were larger than my own and obviously belonged to a brutish male and my first thought was that it could be the wolf I hunted for. It wasn't until daybreak that I heard the faint noises up ahead of a large wolf moving through the snow. Being able to hear his movements, I changed my direction so I was downwind of him and so he couldn't see me .. <_Jay> ..as I hid from the shadows of the trees when tracking the wolf. I was starting to doubt it wasn't the right wolf but when I got close enough to see it was definitely him, pounding around angrily. I wanted to rush him there but thought an ambush would be the best way to take down a larger opponent so I followed him, keeping to the shadows until nightfall." She stared blankly at the air, recounting .. <_Jay> ..what happened after that. * Atraya a mother would worry as she would and this was no different. A flashback of their move, of blistering winds and cold that had claimed the lives of two of her previous litter seemed to sink a hard ball in her guat. She would look around quickly and quietly as her eyes fell to the horizon as she would look across the other wolves. She saw her mother and Jay as she would seem to be telling a »» »» story and she looked with indeed, interest and soft eyes but the prospect of finding her son would cause a hard strumming across her chest. * Noshoba would look over as he sees his friend coming into view. Giving a welcoming chuff before turning back to listen to Jay's tale. The youngin was a good storyteller to his old ears. * Stormwalker lies down in the snow, yawning slightly yet his eyes never left Jay as his attention was focused on the story. * Kinta would grunt as she was nipped at , and would make her tiny frame even more cumbersome for Kenyon, she attempted to be fat . Griggling as kenyon retracted from the cold. * Kokuro was grinning to himself abit as he moved through the snow covered brush. The youngster was getting good at moving quietly but still was ewasy to see with those autumn hues that made up the color of his pelt. Thinking it would be nice to see his papa and mama.. looking a little guilty.. since he had a "bad " habit of wandering far a field. Drawing his head up , he lifts a call upon * Kokuro the winds cut »» cont »» to let them know he was ok. * Kovo her eyes remained focused on Jay as she told her story of events long sense passed. She knew the will and heart of Jay and in the beginning, she knew then she ment well. ~ She has come a long way~ she thought in her mind and continued to listen while keeping in mind the others. * Stormwalker looked over as the young pup Kokuro would walk about. His eyes seeming to soften for a brief moment as a brief smile played across his grizzled face. Then looked back at Jay, patiently awaiting the continuation. * _Jay took a deep breath before continuing again. "I didn't sleep that night while he did in a cave up in some rocky mountains. I planned what and how I was going to attack him and the possibilities of him running away or having some help in hiding incase of an ambush. While I could hear him asleep inside the cave, I crawled over top of the entrance and stood there completely silent through the night with dew collecting .. <_Jay> ..on my fur. When the daylight started to filter through the cave he started to awake and stretch his limbs. Mine felt stiff for being still for so long but the energy from awaiting my attack kept them loose. When he emerged from the cave he stopped in his tracks and sniffed the air, catching my scent, but I already pounced on his back before he could move. With the aspect of surprise .. <_Jay> ..on my side I was able to sink my teeth into his back leg and a nip to his back before pulling away. If he tried to run then he'd be too slow to get away with the injury to his leg. He tried a counterattack but slipped under the injury to his leg and the pebbles under his paws. I went for a killing blow then, aiming at his throat and hoping to end it there .. <_Jay> ..and get the job done but he move before I could hit his neck. However, it wasn't a total lose because when he moved his neck he moved his face into my attack and using my fangs I ripped out his left eye, partially blinding him." A shiver ran down her spine remembering the encounter, and also remembering why she hated eyeballs, the eye was all gooey and gross and squishy like poo. * Kinta would let out short but soft playful whines "Cold!" she thought as now her paws and legs were trapt under her mates fattness. she would begin to wiggle about, lay on me ill show you! * Kovo her eyes would be intent on Jay. She would listen to the details shared for she had not heard of them before until now. She kept her paws still as she listened with great attention as she would unfold her story to the rest of the pack. * Kenyon flattened his ears and scooted near the entrance of the den again. Kinta was making it hard for him to be comfortable and thus he wanted out now.. He began to paw at the entrance and dig/push the snow out of the way slowly. It would take a little time but eventually he would be free. * Faolan had a pleasant habit of not answering calls with his own as of late, but he would answer all the same. Far from his cantankerous character, his call rang true and low through the fringe of the clearing. His son was alive and that truly set the world right once more, but what was this gathering about? Too near to turn back, he continued forward and found a place away from the others to listen. * Atraya her tail swung lightly behind her as she too heard the soft ebb of her sons youthful voice. This indeed would quench the sore put in her stomach and she nosed her mate as she would continue forward as well, knowing they would no doubt be united again. She found herself to mvoe near Faolan but she did not settle, not yet. * liru stretches her white body out slowly as she stands up. Her legs straining slightly but just enough to feel good as she gave a soft huf of delight at the stretch. Smiling she would look around for anyone else near the clearing where she has been resting lately. * Kinta would roll over to her paws and move over towards Kenyon, meaning to help him but everywhere she seemed to toss snow seemed to land right on him. * JungenGeist would sit still, his mind switching to the thought of what texture an eyeball would be and wondered if it squeeked when being eaten.. * Canadil stomach kind of goes queasy in understanding the feel of eyeballs. Her old mind just trying to push that one away again. * Kokuro 's still abit oversized ears to his papa's return call, allows his banner to wave. Judging the wind and the direction as he was taught, he changes direction to head in the direction of his papa. Knowing to himself that mama would be nearby as well. Although he was still very watchful , he picked up speed to join them as soon as possible. * Kenyon glared at Kinta as she obviously was not helping any. He quickly pushed her out of the way and spread himself out to take up the entire space in front of the entrance so he could continue with his plan. * Noshoba perking his auds as his senses detect another wolf's presence. Drawing himself to standing, he gives a respectful nod to Kovo and Jay before drawing away to find whop the intruder was. * _Jay shook her head to free it from the thoughts and spoke again. "For a moment I thought he was dead and it was enough for him to make an attack of his own. He lunged forward and grabbed a hold of my flank and tried to rip off a bit of my side. He was able to do considerable damage before I used the mountain we were on to a bit of an advantage. Having him down the slope compared to my position I pushed as .. <_Jay> ..hard as I could and we were both send tumbling down halfway of the mountain side. All the while we went down we were still close enough to each other and claw and bite in small attacks until we hit a small landing halfway down that broke us apart. The blow to my side hurt more than at first from the tumble and I wasn't able to move yet as he was. He slowly stood and walked towards me talking .. <_Jay> ..about getting revenge first. I couldn't move from the pain yet as he lashed out with his fangs to try and take out my right eye like I had his. I was just able to move so that he missed my eye but only barely as his large canines dug into the face around it." She turned her head slightly, showing the scar of two small gashes bordering her right .. <_Jay> ..eye. "He became too frustrated to care about any revenge then and went to rip out my throat. I was starting to get motion back into my body and tried to move away but he was able to grab my right ear and without much hesitation ripped it off." The second scar of her battle, the tragic loss of her fluffy ear. * Dawn1 yawns gently as she opens an eye and glances around. * Faolan picked up on the story in mid-scene, hoping that he had only just missed the credits. It would take a moment, but he would engross himself in the story regardless of whether he had the full context or not. * Kovo her eyes fell to the scar upon Jays right eye and would listen intently to its origins. The story in which she shared would continue to imprint images into her mind, into her line of sight as she would look to Jay and momentarily broke her sight to glance about all the others. Seeing Noshoba going to greet a wolfess she had not met before, she remained where she was, allowing the Guardian to »» »» handle it and properly bring the wolf in to be introduced to her. * Atraya would be standing beside her mate, her shoulder brushed to his as she would look out over the clearing to where she would sense her son moving closer. The wind didnt disrupt the scents and would make them rather clear to her. Her tail began to wave with anticipation as she would as well listen to Jays story. * Kokuro moving with a quickened pace, would come bursting out of the brush at the clearing's edge would a flurry of snow sent airbourne. Chuffing and yipping happily as amber hues catch sight of papa and mama, he starts tearingt across to them . Anyone in his way would see a flash of autumn and perhaps get a face full of snow from churning paws. Slowing, his young frame would wipple as he * Kokuro arched his cut »» cont »» back and waved his banner coming up to mama and papa with a happy churr. * Kenyon finally pushed the snow out enough for them to squeeze through and out of the den but before he did so he turned to Kinta and gave her nose a quick lapping. He let out a loud gruff as he exited the den and he came into contact with the frigid cold air. He waited at the opening for Kinta to emerge. * Noshoba padding up to white wolfess, his banner and presence defined by his rank, he dip his head politely as he read her scent and commited it to memory. Greetings youngin. I am Noshoba , a Guardian of the Wolfspirit's pack. I bid you welcome to our lands as long as our ways are followed. The old wolf would wait for a reply before letting her know she must be met and made welcome ACTION by Kovo cut »»  cont »» first. * Atraya a soft whine was given as the reunion would be bitter sweet. She would lean in, nuzzling Kokuro ever so softly and tucking him close to her as if to provide him the warmth he may not have had throughout the blizzard and storm. Satisfied her son was well and would greet him with much rejoice, she would settle on her haunches to listen to the words of Jay. So, his son was alive!! No doubt, despite his best efforts, his son had found and survived a chilling adventure. He didn't so much mind the interruption his son's yipping and bounding caused...more so was he happy and relieved that Kokuro was fine and in decent shape. He would nose and lick at his son's cheekfurs before pawing heavily at his frame. * Dakoda (webchat@6ca5ed59.14055a7a.69.158.imsk) Quit (Quit: Page closed) * Kenyon nosed Kinta's shoulder lightly before beginning to make his way toward the clearing.. He could smell a mixture of scents upon the air and was obviously curious what was going on. * Stormwalker observes the other wolves, his face giving away no hint of emotion. Simply a curious glance about himself. yet his attention still on Jay making him seem riveted to the spot to listen for the rest of the story. * Kinta would trot behind slightly, and she stuck her nose into the air she would pick up scents from a variety of wolves, most of them of family. * liru would nod as she lifted her head and lightly took in his scent. "I have met a couple of the others before. The alpha female greeted me. Although I have not been told your ways as of yet so I am keeping to myself so as to not upset any." She would give a small chuckling chuff as she lifted her head to look at himm fully. * Kovo she would hear the rejoice of a reunion of Faolan, Atraya and Kokuro and smiled to her family before her eyes remained to Jay. Listening. * Kokuro would feel a little pressed in by mama and papa. Epping and pawing at the both of them happily. The youngster was learning his lessons well whether from them and other pack members or the school he usually attended of hard knocks. * Noshoba allows his nares to flare and finds no scent of his alphess upon her fur. And who was it that gave you greeting youngin? For scent none of the pack upon your fur. What was making him curious who was claiming to be alphess to have greeted and made her welcome. The old wolf was a little eccentric but not when it came to that. * _Jay stopped a moment, staring at the ball of furry that erupted from the treeline and dashed towards Faolan and Atraya. She stared at him for a moment before continuing her story. "Anyway... he ripped off my right ear. I wasn't thinking and acted on instinct to attack him and was able to get a grip on his throat, not the best but I could sink my teeth in and with one quick motion ripped out a good chunk .. <_Jay> ..of his throat. After I spat out his meat he did the same to me and gripped my throat. However, he didn't try to rip out my throat and instead pulled me towards the edge of the small landing we were on. I tried to stop him and bit his muzzle but he was too strong and flung me over the edge and sent me tumbling all the way to the bottom of the mountain. When I hit a few tufts of grass at the base I looked .. * Kenyon hopped through the snow, trying not to sink into any deep bits as they traveled through it. Luckily their den wasn't too far from the clearing so it wouldn't take them long to reach their destination. He stopped at the edge to give a quick glance around and sniff at the air once more, curious whom was out and about at this hour. <_Jay> ..up and saw him staring back at me. I could tell the wound to his throat was bleeding horribly as well as his missing eye wound and while I was bleeding as well my wounds weren't as severe. I saw him start to try to walk away but he fell to the ground out of my sight. I was too tired and injured to move and through the rest of the day fell unconscious. .. <_Jay> ..When I woke up I crawled up the mountain side to where I last saw him but only a large pool of blood remained there and dripped off down the mountain on another side and into the trees." She stopped, thinking of that certain situation on what to do. * Kovo her eyes would fall to Jay and as she told the story, she would indeed take note of it. The imagery would be vivid in her mind as Jay retold the story of such a battle of defense, will and strength. * Kinta would follow directly in his hopping body/paw prints finally arriving beside him, she would snort as an all too familar scent reached her nostrils , she would huff, and move forward though now more wary Jay was among them. * liru would frown slightly as she tilted her head a little. "I belive hr name was Kovo but it was a few days ago. I am not sure maybe my memory is failing me." she smiles. "I would be glad to meet your alphas either way." * Kenyon rubbed lightly against Kinta's flank as she came to a stop beside him. He'd wait to follow her lead now that they were at the clearings edge. * Noshoba would give a polite nod. She seemed a nice enough wolfess. That is fine youngin although memory failings are supposed be the domain of elderly wolves like myself.. Come then.. Turning that lithe frame of frosted midnight fur about for her to follow. * Faolan knew his son's schooling had started early and the organic nature of that education would serve him well in the days to come. For now, his muse was far away from the future days and their plans...for now, he looked and listened to Jay's story. He was happy for a good, bloody story. * _Jay caught sight of Kinta, wishing she was there for the whole thing, but thought of an alternative. "I wasn't sure where he went to, and after the fight I was too injured to try and find him again. Just seeing all the blood seemed enough he was dead and if not some other wolf or predator would kill him and so with that I started to head back home towards WolfSpirits. I couldn't hunt on my way pack from injuries .. <_Jay> ..and it wasn't until I got back did Wild and Noxion help me and I recovered. I was gone for around two weeks and always have to turn my head to listen now as I move around and do my duties as a scout but I was able to just about kill the wolf that threatened the lives of the puppies. I kind of feel silly for going off and doing what I did but whenever I see Kokuro running around .. <_Jay> ..I always think of what could have happened if I didn't." Her gaze even shifted towards the pup as she finished her story. * Noshoba quietly leds the youngin up to where Kovo was holding 'court' Pausing, he waits for an interruption in the story. he sees Lune and his granddaughter and mate were also present at last. * liru stands beside him as she watches kovo with a faint smile while she relaxed her stance a little bit. * Silverlune perks to Nosh, a grin emitting from her maw, then to turn to watch the others in the distance. * Stormwalker shifts restlessly, seemingly wanting to speak or just walk about. Yet he keeps his peace and keeps an eye on everything around himself. Sometimes darting his eyes to the base of the mountain where WolfMoon still rests. * Kinta would huff, not really sure what was going on but still she didnt just what Jay was saying. Kinta would lay down she was a bit tired now and would yawn, her eyes fixed on to Jay's every movement . (( i gotta go really soon >.> like next 5ish mins.)) ]pouts[ * Kovo her tail would swing ever so and she would bow her head slowly to Jay and the story she finished it. She would offer a warm smile" A very well told story, Jay" she stood tall before her and leaned in and nosed her ever so " You are a strong wolf jay and I think these experiences only strengthen the core of who you are.." again she dipped her head and looked to her with gentle and »» »» eyes of admiration for the young fae. * _Jay smiled lightly at Kovo and nosed her back, happy the alphess wasn't disappointed in her actions at that time. "Thank you." She murred happily before stepping down and allowing someone else to tell a story. She moved away from her position, offering it to someone else as she walked towards her desired spot. There was a light swish in her tail as she moved by Kinta and Kenyon. "Relax.." She huffed .. <_Jay> ..softly when she came by them and continued on a yard or so to sit and watch the rest of the meeting if there was any. * Spirit has joined #WolfSpirit * Taelia sets mode: +o Spirit Welcome Spirit, Elder WolfSpirit - Spirit -- blood sister to Kovo and former pack Alpha Spirit has 12 HP and has 100 experience. Spirit has won 0 out of 0 total fights. * Silverlune chuffs to spirit! * Spirit tail wags.. * Stormwalker shifts, his visage reflecting skepticism. Yet not being his pack and he only being a guest due to WolfMoon he deemed it not proper to speak. Whether or not his son would gain the fluffy in those months ahead, he knew he could count on his son to nae spot the three legged bison anytime soon. He would nose at the still scrawny rascal and watch the rest of the group nearest Kovo. * Kenyon let out a soft growl toward Jay as she passed by Kinta and himself. Kinta being tense also made him tense and he shot a glare in her direction before returning his gaze back onto his mate, nuzzling her. * Kovo her ear would turn as she would then look to Noshoba and the female who was next to him. She tilted her head some before her tail rose high behind as she looked to the female. "Salutations" she looked between them softly before her frame drew slightly rigid. * Kovo her ear would turn as she would then look to Noshoba and the female who was next to him. She tilted her head some before her tail rose high behind as she looked to the female. "Salutations" she looked between them softly before her frame drew slightly rigid. * Kokuro kind of stumbles at the nosing from his papa. His amber hues all caught up in taking in the view of all the wolves he had not met before. * Spirit joins the pack of wolves * liru would bow her head respectfully while she gazed at Kovo. Her ears lowering slightly as she would chuff gently. "Greetings Miss." Her tail always with mind of its own continued to gently sway behind her. " Liru, is it?" she said lightly as her nose would sniff about the female determining where or who she was. " What brings you about WolfSpirits?" * liru would nod in response as she kept her head down a bit. "Yes, I am from the Midnight pack although they seperated and I did not wish to choose as side so I have been a lone wolf as it where. I was wandering around and came upon this clearing." * _Jay ignored the growls from both Kinta and Kenyon, she had her own way to deal with them later. She dipped her head silently to everyone gathered and actually, before sitting down decided she needed to rest some. She turned away from the meeting and headed off towards the bushes near the edge of the clearing, curled up inside and fell asleep. * Spirit slinks around and looks at all the gathered wolves, as she makes her way to her sister. Seats herself near Kovie and muzzle licks gently. * Kovo she would dip her head slowly "All are welcome to the pack as long as the pack ways and rules are followed" her ears would turn to the scent of her sister and she swung her tail high behind her, nuzzling her sister, Spirit before looking to liru. * Noshoba makes note of Spirit moving into view and joining her sister. A smile creasing his maw, he gives a respectful and fond nod of greetings to her. * liru would nod. "I understand especially as i am on your territory it would be disgraceful of me to not follow your ways. * Kenyon would stay beside his mates side while she slept. He lowered himself onto his stomach once Jay disappeared out of sight and relaxed for the time being as he watched the others. * Spirit smiles warmly, and nod/chuffs to Noshy "We are currently in the midst of a large gathering. The pack is celebrating its 10 year anniversary..." she offered a light smile before her eyes would fall in a serious manner. She again nosed her sister, Spirit.
