The sandy woman kept her gaze to the terra, watching as a light breeze caught the grass, or how an ant would crawl over a small stone. The land was quiet around her, but she knew there were arrivals, and a whole scene had emerged before she even looked up. For a moment, she enjoyed the silence around her, it was peaceful and for once in a long time the fem felt comfortable. Auds perked at the sudden approach of another, and her hazel hues drifted up to find the features of a familiar wolf. Red had been the one to greet Omisis and her, and so she lifted her crania to welcome his presence. A familiar face was a comforting feeling, though Flo would've rather it been Omisis. "Hello, Red." Her melodic voice escaped her kissers, and she listened to his lyrics. The bruja wanted to look for Omisis? Well, that was something to do, and she was concerned about the golden male, she hadn't seen him in a while now. Florence stood and stretched only briefly before stepping after Red, there wasn't much for her at that patch of flattened earth now. "I haven't seen him for a while now." The little tone of concern slipped through, something Flo didn't intend to emphasize on. The golden bruja was still the only one she kind of knew, Red was a familiar face but she didn't know much about him either.

Calypso would step near her mate and settle seeing the ordinary looking fem approach with kind words. Her blue eyes however kept straying to watch her pups playing with Jacques. It made her smile but being a weary mother she never ignored them completely, thus keeping on eye on them at all times.

Chimera would tip her dial and then gave a friendly wag of her tail...then a smile. "King and Queen of the Pearl." She said softly...almost meekly. "I come bearing an invitation from my own Queen. She sends out an invitation to your pack. Word has come to us that some of the packlands in the pearl are falling due to lack of warriors. My queen offers her strength and knowledge. She can assist some of your warriors...training them to be stronger....and then would let them come home to teach the rest of the pack." She said sitting and curling her tail about her feet. "I am not trying to pressure you....it's simply an offer of friendship ...if you decline I will be on my way..if you accept I will take the ones you choose back home with me to learn how to fight when odds are against you." She said kindly. She kept her stance lower than the alpha.....showing submission.

Seagulls... She heard... seagulls...

The cool, aquamarine waves crashed over her slumbering form. Her dark fur was clumped with salt and sand beneath the surf. She groaned, paws pushing up against the wet sand, her tongue thick in her mouth. She took a step and stumbled, muscles weak from her long journey, pieces of wood and rope scattered around her, remnants of the shipwreck. She wondered if the humans had survived, but they probably hadn't. She was lucky enough to be alive herself. She stood up once more and shook the water from her ears, the earrings in her left jingling, the waves crashing at her feet.

Water... She needed fresh water.

She raised her sea-foam hued eyes to the land before her. The trees along the shore looked like those of the tropics, but beyond, grew dark with seasonal and coniferous ones. It reminded her of the land she grew up in, with the dark sand, ragged cliffs, and lush foliage. The seagulls above and the surf behind her only completed the picture. She sneezed, her nares cluttered with salt. She spotted a stream that fed into the ocean and bounded towards in, plunging her entire muzzle in, gulping the fresh water down and cleaning her system. She then jumped into the stream altogether, washing the salt and sand from her pelt, brushing away the dry, dead skin. She raised her head and moaned, flopping over backwards, grinning at the feeling. The water was colder than she would have liked it to be, but it was making for a good bath nonetheless. It was now that she had had her fill of water, did her hunger return. She hadn't eaten in several days - not since she had been on the ship - and the instinct to hunt kicked in.

She jumped out of the water, the crystal droplets clinging to her cleaned pelt, and she loped upstream, eyes on the water. It didn't take her long to find what she was looking for - she paused mid-step and halted right above the clear-running creek. She held herself perfectly still, and then, sank her maw into the water, jaws snapping around the body of a cutthroat trout, big and thick from the summer run. She pulled her prize and ate it right there on the bank, one paw keeping the fish's head down as she ate its briny, succulent meat. One could say that she was the most talented fisher in all of the lands... These lands that remained unexplored by her eyes. Her thirst sated and her stomach filled, her body told her that she was tired, but she was the kind to hunt adventure whenever the chance revealed itself. A low howl vibrated through the air and... it sounded familiar. Why did it sound so familiar? She wracked her brain for an answer...

And then, without a second thought, she tore off in the direction of the howl, her heart racing. She knew that there had been a reason she had landed here, she knew it! Just when she thought her luck had ran out, it had surfaced again. She sprinted along the shoreline, the scent of wolves, though they were not her family, growing stronger with each bound. She could see them now. Her eyes searched for him, and there... he was. She instantly slowed, suddenly cautious, her ears falling back. She stepped through the rolling waves on the beach, walking up and taking a place next to the group of new wolves. "Jack Sparrow," she gave a small woof, hoping to catch his attention, but not so much as to distract him from the task he had. It looked like... Yes, he was alpha now. She glanced at the wolves gathered around him. This was his new family. There was a female standing next to him... His mate. Her heart quivered at the thought. She gave a wag of her tail. "It's me, Jacqueline. Your sister... Remember?"

((I knew I was forgetting something last post...))

Seeing the stir of activity, he turned to Hermano and Hermana and said, "It's time for my exit. Don't follow me, and I wish you well here." And he hoped there would not be a reason for them to meet once more. There was no reason to, and the circumstances most likely wouldn't be good for the siblings. He'd gotten enough information from here inadvertently... especially from the fem who had apparently been waiting for audience for some time. It didn't look like she was to join the pack, nor did it seem like the Black Pearl held alliance with wherever this wolf came from. It wasn't of his concern, and with a grin of farewell at Hermano and Hermana, he turned to let his feet carry him out of the lands.

Red nodded, concerned- about Florence. She was uncomfortable, and for understandable reasons. As they walked and searched, he said, "I'm sure he's fine, but I'm surprised he'd leave your side until you both were more settled with the pack." He looked around for Omisis, and still not seeing him, Red said, "Jack is addressing the recent arrivals, but I think if we find Omisis soon, we can wait for a bit for the commotion to die down. It's a bit intimidating being surrounding by a pack of wolves at once, I remember." There was no point in asking her where she came from for polite conversation, as they'd already stated they were from Hamara, and he didn't want to bring up bad memories.

Subject: Re: --Hoist the Colors High [MB] Thu Feb 23, 2012 10:41 am

Jack's ear perked forward intent on listening to what this fem had to say. He didn't think she intended to stay around with the pack. As she stepped forth another butted in eager to meet the alpha but it wasn't her turn yet. "It's nice to meet both of your Hermano and Hermana but please don't interrupt and wait your turn." The other wolf that was with them spoke up, apparently he was there escort. When questioned about recent activities in the pack he frowned but shook his head. No, nothing too peculiar had occurred here. Just the influx of new wolves from Hamara. With that he looked back to Chimera. "Apologies miss." What exactly Chimera said was not what Jack had expected. He titled his head in genuine confusion interest and perhaps mild concern. Who was this she wolf and what queen did she bring tidings from? He had to admit this was a very unusual topic. Who would offer training to his pack and to what end? For the most part they hadn't suffered any big recent attacks aside from border skirmishes but those were the usual. Casting a glance at Calypso he mulled over her words for a moment. He decided he wasn't entirely sure he wanted to discuss this right now. "Chimera, if you would be so kind to wait around a little longer so that we can discuss this in a more private setting I would like to speak to you in length about this." He nodded to her in a serious way and was about to turn and address the pair of siblings when another stepped up besides them. She spoke his name and he got a shock that ran through his body. "Jacqueline...what...what are you doing here?" He didn't mean to sound so incredulous he just felt like the wind was knocked out of him. Shaking his head and blinking several times a smile finally broke across his face. An energy suffused in him that hadn't been kindled in many years. He surged forward and bumped her nose and frantically began sniffing her over, a happy whine escaping his chest. His sister...his very own sister was here after all this time. It had been so long he imagined that he would never see her again. How in Fenrir's name did she come to get here?

A happy bark burst from her maw as Jack bounded up to greet her. She grinned and bumped her nose against his in return, her tail whipping madly in delight behind her, sniffing him all over as well. He smelled nothing like there home - or what she could remember of home, having been gone from it for so long - but there was that key scent that told her that it was her older brother for certain. Otherwise, he smelled like the beach upon which they stood and the forest that surrounded it, and even the female that stood by his side. She suddenly had so many questions for him, and she didn't know which one she would ask first. Excited greetings aside, she took a step back to catch her breath, her sea-foam eyes brimming with happiness. "I was shipwrecked," she replied, and then realized what words had come out of her mouth. 'Shipwrecked' wasn't exactly what a normal wolf would hear, and this pack didn't look like sea-faring travelers. "Er, I mean, I washed up onshore after hiding out on a human boat. Um. It's a long story, actually. But I'm okay, so don't worry," she continued to grin, as if to solidify this statement. There were the piercings in her left ear from the humans over a year ago, but they caused her no pain.

"But what about you?" she squealed, her front paws dancing in delight. Her head swung around to see all of the other wolves around them. None of them looked familiar, but she noticed a pile of pups not far away. One of them, she knew, was undoubtedly his and his mate's. She gasped. "You have pups! Ooh, ooh! You'll have to tell me everything, you know that, right?" she said, leaning down on her front paws in a playful position. She hadn't seen Jack in years, and all of the memories of them came flooding back. And the same time, there was so much she had to learn about her brother in the time he was gone.

Subject: Re: --Hoist the Colors High [MB] Thu Feb 23, 2012 7:27 pm

Vault had seen enough of the commotion for his liking. Almost spontaneously, the alpha’s long-lost sibling appeared on the beach, and there was a dramatic reunion between the two. How nice, he thought sarcastically, yet deep down he felt jealousy in him. But the sequence of events had proven useful for something: he knew the wolfess originally conversing with the alpha was Chimera, and now no one really had their attention on her general direction. She was too far away to get her attention undetectably, but he figured he might as well drop in. Making his presence known provided a risk, yet the risk was very little. This certainly wasn’t a threatening intrusion. Looking at the beaming rays of sunlight just in front of him, he smoothly padded forward, letting his head leave the cover of the dark brush and wash in sunlight, followed by the rest of his body. Everyone seemed as though they were looking in the opposite direction towards the alpha and his sister, as Vault moved casually yet quickly to where Chimera was standing. Now within close distance, he briefly thought about why this wolf was powerful; why she so much significance in Evon’s hierarchy. Nudging her to get her attention as he passed her, he began to speak quietly enough so as not to alert any unwanted attention. “So, Chimera, I’ve heard a lot about you.” Vault looked towards the ocean as though he was not actually speaking to her; as though the ocean was what baited him to arrive here at this beach as a “newcomer”.

Amor briefly smiled, seeing Jack open up to someone he hadn’t seen in a long, long time. Quite frankly, the wolfess didn’t look like anyone Amor had ever seen before either, with strangely, almost pale green orbs and shining metallic objects strewn through her ear. When she looked at all of them, it was as though there was something wondrous about everything around. Like the world had changed from the last time you checked in. It almost made him want to start reexamining where he was. He had kind of overlooked the landscape since he came here, belittling the fondness he already had for the beachhead.

Subject: Re: --Hoist the Colors High [MB] Tue Feb 28, 2012 1:07 pm

Chimera would look at Jack with respect and then nodded. "But of course King of the Black Pearl. But I don't have long. I have other packs I need to bring tidings too as well." She said kindly with a soft and almost meek wag of her tail. Her whole body sang of submissiveness and respect as she bowed and stepped back from that inner circle.

She took a deep breath and would flick her ears forward hearing someone call the alpha's name. It was someone he obviously knew from the look of surprise on his face. Her ear flicked as she heard footfalls coming near. Her head swiveled and she would take in a hessian who so boldly nudged her. In any other setting she would have blooded his nose for that.

She turned her gaze back to the alpha greeting his long lost sister it seemed and she parted her lips speaking in hushed tones that would be under the detection of anyone not as close as Vault and she were sitting. "Have you? You seem to have the upper paw on me then." She twitched her nose and thought she scented a familiar underlying scent. That scent of home. "What brings you stranger?" She asked. Her voice light and curious and not hushed so if someone heard them they would think it was just small talk between two unfamiliar wolves. Her head turned to look at him curiously and she flicked her ear.

Calypso looked up toward her mate as he met her gaze and then a voice rang out calling him. Her ears flicked forward and she would blink those blue eyes. Jacqueline? She blinked again. Who was this fem? Who seemed to know her mate and he seemed almost overwhelmed to see her. They seemed familial and she would glance to her pups who were playing safely with Jacq and stood moving closer for a moment. "My love?" her voice was soft, respectful as she called to him, though her eyes seemed confused and seeking answers.

Subject: Re: --Hoist the Colors High [MB] Tue Feb 28, 2012 8:37 pm

Vault’s eyes moved towards Chimera after she responded. She spoke lightly, but he sensed that she wasn’t very pleased to have a stranger addressing her by name, as though he knew something she didn’t. He kept a calm, smooth tone, speaking slightly louder than before to sound more conversational. “Evon sent me to Tirisfal to do a quick job. She told me you were here. Figured I would meet her second-in-command now rather than later.” He kept the same tone and assumed to leave out any usage of the word “Lacrimosa”, yet now he turned his dial fully to face her, his orange orbs piercing with coldness. “Our numbers back in the Lone Lands are growing. By now, they’ve received your new recruit. I wouldn’t know for sure; Nikolai was approaching as I left.” His brown paws dug heavy with weight into the soft sand, a strange relief compared to his nails scratching against sheets of ice for a few days. This place, however, saw no change in emotion from Vault.

Twin peaks lowered at the lyrics coming from Red, and hazel azures casted to the ground. He hadn't been the one to slip away, a thought that never reached her kissers. They had become close quickly, enough to set her shy nature spinning, and then a storm washed them out of the lands she had first arrived in, which didn't add to her already skittish feelings. So, when they had arrived in Black Pearl, she had slipped away quickly at his contact, to which she regretted quickly. The story wasn't important to repeat to Red, but if he said anything to Omisis she'd correct him, until then she'd remain silent about the issue. "How long have you been here, Red?" Her soft lyrics broke the brief silence from the bruja's last words. It was an effort to push a light conversation, but she had at least met Red before, which gave way for at least an attempt at knowing another. It wasn't that she was anti-social, simply skittish and shy, if anyone else had wandered up to her it would've been a different conversation. She couldn't fathom how uncomfortably awkward that would've been, and she mentally thanked Red for being the one to show up.

Subject: Re: --Hoist the Colors High [MB] Thu Mar 01, 2012 5:50 pm

She had spoken up, asking him a question. Turning to face her direction a little, Red responded, "I've been here a while- long enough to experience quite a few of the happenings that tend to occur when you've been somewhere long enough. It didn't take long to get to know the pack once they warmed up to a foreigner who's never been in the lands of Fire and Ice, so you'll probably have a good sense on who's who once Jack settles everyone down. You think you're going to stick around, with this being another neutral pack?"

Being forced to relocate must have been difficult. The wolves had, for the most part, probably scattered or followed others without too much thought and ended up at the first pack their legs led them, naturally drawn to the pack life. Now as things settled and rest was found, were they going to reconsider staying with a pack, especially one near a large body of water, or would they leave? It'd be nice for Florence and Omisis to remain, as it was nice having a lively pack, which meant a healthy number of wolves.

Subject: Re: --Hoist the Colors High [MB] Tue Mar 06, 2012 1:33 pm

A coy smiled played across Jack's face when she began to explain the circumstances that brought her here. Perhaps the other might be confused about the human terms but he had traveled just as far and probably farther in his life as his little sister and knew many things especially of sea craft. Though he wondered what manner of thing lay in her ear but chose to ignore it for the moment. He was sure it was a sullied human thing. Chuckling at her enthusiasm he nodded at her exclamation of pups. And then Calypso's soft voice by his side, glancing back at his mate he smiled like a looby. "Yes, come over. This is my mate Calypso, my dear this is my sister Jacqueline. " He motioned to the pups "And those are our children Caspian and Atla. And our adult daughter Liar." He said motioning to the she wolf. Eyes flicked over to the waiting Chimera. "Ah but...it seems you have stumbled in at a busy moment. Introduce yourself to the pups while you wait?" He said politely. He did need to get this pack business over with as soon as possible. Touching her once more he left his mate to speak with her and join him at her leisure. He was sure that she was interested in what this mysterious fem had to say.

Giving a low bark he signaled Chimera, who was speaking to another new wolf, over to himself. He proceeded to step off a little ways from the pack to speak a bit more quietly. This was one of the queerest offers he had ever had.

Subject: Re: --Hoist the Colors High [MB] Tue Mar 06, 2012 1:41 pm

Atla was intent on rough housing Jacques but the approach of another adult wolf interrupted her. Eyeing the black she wolf and her eyes fell on the smaller pup that she brought over. Instantly her tail began to wag as she was introduced as Daija. "Hi Daija!" She said loudly and instantly fell on her front paws. Movement in the background caught her eye as he father seemed to be excited about something and she lost her short puppy focus. Straightening and watching for a moment until the she wolf he was speaking to noticed them and displayed a playful stance Atla instantly dropped once more her small puppy tail wagging furiously. "Caspian more play pups!" She squealed loudly. And then she shot forward and nipped at Daija's muzzle in a strictly playful manner. Without waiting for a response she shot forward ahead racing ahead like a little demon and skidded/rolled to her mother's feet where she righted herself, yipped up at her mother and weaved herself between her legs. "Who are YOU?!" She cried excitedly. Fenrir was she a bundle of energy.

Subject: Re: --Hoist the Colors High [MB] Tue Mar 06, 2012 4:15 pm

Jackie grinned and nodded. Business would be business, afterall. "Aye, aye, Captain!" she yipped, tail wagging, she turned her attention to her brother's mate. Their coats were similar in color - dark and mottled with swaths of chocolate brown - but Jackie found that her coat had more flecks of silver and strands of sandy tan mixed in. Regardless, she trotted up to the fem, smiling all the way. "Sooooo... Calypso, is it?" she sat down beside her, ears perked and sea-foam eyes bright. She did a once-over of the fem. "I've gotta hand it to my brother sometimes, he has pretty good taste. So, uh... How'd you guys meet and all that jazz?"

Before she could ask anymore questions, there was a sudden chaos at her feet, and Jackie looked down and realized that it was a puppy. "Me?" Jackie said, raising a brow, and then lowered herself in a playful manner down to Atla's height, squinting her eyes and pulling her lips into a sneer. "Why, I am Jackie the Rogue, here to swindle your treasures and steal your fun! I have sailed the seven seas and seen the ages of wonder, fought monsters and wolves of all breeds! Arrrrrrrgh!" She glanced at Calypso, hoping that she could see her jest, and that she truly meant no harm to her children. If anything, Jackie was the biggest child of all, always looking for an outlet of fun and adventure.

Subject: Re: --Hoist the Colors High [MB] Thu Mar 08, 2012 12:17 pm

Junior had been walking the lone lands for a long while. He was returning home and spotted Liar with a group of pups. "And you seem to never change" He smiled laying his tired body down. He spotted Daija quick noticing that she had grown since he last seen her. She was turning into a fine wolfess indeed. Junior licked his chopps and waited for Lair to notice him. He wished to start a conversation with her. He was starting to feel lonely again.

Subject: Re: --Hoist the Colors High [MB] Thu Mar 08, 2012 12:32 pm

Omisis trotted back as quickly as he could he was in a hurry to be back with Florence. He looked around not seeing her at all. He was lost not even in the main area anymore. He let his gray orbs scan the area as far as he could see but yet . . . Nothing . . . He felt like a fool and di not wish others to know he had gotten lost in the forest that was around the shore of the sea. He followed the sound of the ocean which lead him to the shore. He sighed a little as the beauty of it was something else. This place was indeed beautiful but it was not his home. He finaly decided to stay put and let Florence know where he was. He tilted his head and let a loud soft howl out for her so she could find him. Once he was done he sat waiting for her. He liked her alot and hoped that she would forgive him for being gone so long.

Subject: Re: --Hoist the Colors High [MB] Fri Mar 09, 2012 5:13 pm

So much energy. Daija hadn't even registered what to do, for playing, hadn't been in her lifestyle yet. She pulled her head back when the pup fell to her paws and then dashed off. She sighed looking up at her mother and then back down to the wolf that came and laid beside them. Junior. She remembered him. She too copied his movements and laid herself down at her mother's feet.

Liar had been about to encourage the pups to play but her stomach hurt. She felt a familiar scent creep into her nares and she looked over at Junior. "Change is unseen" she said softly. She hadn't said anything to anyone about her aches and pains but she felt them growing horribly more and more every day. She didn't know what to do but she looked at Daija and sighed. "Daija. Go stand with uncle Jack. I love you baby girl..." she scooted her pup with her nose, licking her head, and looked at Junior while she walked off. "I need to talk to you" she walked away a few feet and sat down. "Change is unseen" she said again turning towards him. "I'm sick. Junior. And I don't plan on telling anyone and I don't plan on you telling one either. Or I'll make it my last wish to make it so you never tell anyone anything again." though she said it a smile lit the corner of her mouth. Before she had snapped at him so badly he attacked her, but it seemed now it was a joke to herself. "I'm going to go lay down, and I ask you to watch Daija, not just right now, but forever. I'm leaving her in your care, and if her father ever comes back, tell him to get lost." She sighed and stood up. "I'll be in the den over there" she tried not to yelp her stomach hurt so bad, her joints hurt, everything hurt, and though she wanted to swallow, she couldn't, there was something in her throat.

Her mind, as she walked away from the elder, chased across her vast memories. Her vast lifetime that, though it would end short, it was so full of time and change. Change is unseen... she had tried to kill herself countless time, and then came the time of sephiroth, her three friends whom one had become her mate, her pup, whom now she wouldn't say goodbye to... She crawled into a den and laid down. Her eyes closed and she kept thinking. Thinking. Thinking. What was wrong with her. Her stomach was knotted, her throat unclear... cancer. Wonder who she had gotten it from. Mother. Father. Grandmother. Was it inherited at all? Thinking, thinking, thinking. "I'm sorry" she said softly and her last breath left her throat.

What would happen after she was gone now? Would Junior, whom hadn't made a word of promise to her, would he look after Daija? What would happen with Daija... Her puppy... her baby she risked so much to get her back...

The little female had watched her mother talk to Junior, and she had sat near, but not close to her uncle Jack. Then her mother walked into a den. Why didn't she go with her. With a sigh she stood and walked over to the mouth of the den. She was asleep... she was holding her breath... she slept here without breathing. She sat down and waited for her mother to breath, and wake up and breath, and give her another kiss...

why wasn't she waking up... "Momma..." she said softly, the truth was filling her, and she wanted nothing more for it to be a lie.

Subject: Re: --Hoist the Colors High [MB] Sat Mar 10, 2012 3:43 pm

It wasn't a question that she could find the answer for, after all she didn't spend enough time in Hamara to consider it home. So far, she had spent more time in the Pearl, but even then it didn't feel like home yet. It was a little worrisome, considering she had already done a fair amount of travel to find a new place to stay. "I'm not sure yet, when we find Omisis-" She didn't finish her lyrics when her twin peaks flicked in the direction of a familiar voice, a howl sent out for her specifically. It was hard to tell if her pillars were going to take her to Omisis, or away, and for that moment she froze solid. Hazel azures glanced over at Red, as if asking permission to dart away. The fae padded forward briefly, now standing at Red's side rather than slightly behind. A part of her didn't want Red to follow, a part of her wanted to greet the golden bruja herself, but at the same time she didn't want to be rude and ditch Red's company.

After all, he was the only wolf that had become an acquaintance, and he could likely find the male before she did in this land. Before she could decide, she let out a long melodic howl in return, and then she turned her gaze to Red. "Our task seems easier now, shall we go?" Hazel hues danced with a pleasant light that wasn't there a moment ago. It would be easier to find the golden bruja with a wolf who already knew the lands. She set off eagerly into the brush, glancing back only to see if Red would follow. For now she let her auds lead her, heading for the area she thought she heard Omisis' howl. It didn't take her long to find the golden bruja, he stood out a bit considering his color. Flo remained in the woods for a bit, just looking from afar with light in her eyes. Florence smiled before slinking forward, her energy dancing away from the shyness that had been there. "Omisis..." She said his name softly, all but forgetting about Red, a rude act but she was too pleased to see the golden male again.

Subject: Re: --Hoist the Colors High [MB] Sat Mar 10, 2012 9:23 pm

Chimera would give him a friendly smile and nodded. she wanted to laugh and narrow her golden eyes at him and chide him from seeking her out while she was on a specific task ..just so meet her as second in command of Lacrimosa. If they had met in the lone lands she would have set teeth to his hide. "Good..." She said she trusted Nikolai as far as any of Evon's recruits. He would get the job done or he would be punished. That was the law of the land.

She would lean down and casually lick her leg. "You are making my job more difficult you know." She said a coolness to her voice that would have been heard by none but Vault himself. Though her eyes betrayed no emontion other than friendliness and her tail wagged slightly.

She wanted to move on from this place. Pickings were slim...she had dallied here too long. She needed to make haste to the next pack. Her eyes looked to the one with the pups, Jaques. He had potential..maybe...and Yana..though she didn't entriely trust Yana...and she felt the same feeling from him.

Soon though She heard the call from the alpha. "Excuse me." She said with a sweet smile looking every bit as innocent and harmless as could be as she stood and trotted over to the one called Jack. She bowed her head low and submissively. "Greetings Alpha of the Black Pearl. I have waited to speak with you."

Subject: Re: --Hoist the Colors High [MB] Sat Mar 10, 2012 9:43 pm

Caspian giglged and then looked over at the other pup and smiled. "I see." He said to his sister blinking those startling blue eyes he had gotten from his mother. He would walk over curiously only to turn and then he lifted his brows hearing the loud and boisterous female approaching. He wagged his tail. Her energy was catchy. "You won't steal my fun!" He barked and playbowed.

Calypso chuckled softly and then wagged her tail. There was definately a family resemblance between her mate and this wolfess. "Yes indeed it is Calypso and we met here in the Pearl." She said gently as she flicked her ears forward and then chuckled as Jackie played with the pups.

Subject: Re: --Hoist the Colors High [MB] Mon Mar 12, 2012 8:41 pm

Vault looked at Chimera’s squinting, golden orbs, focusing intensely enough that he thought she wanted to smite him; to tear the skin from his face for interrupting her operations. The thought nearly brought a clear grin to Vault’s maw. He came here almost out of boredom: he had no further plans to follow before he returned to the lone lands, he had the moment to spare, and Chimera was probably the only individual wolf who occupied this side of the map at this time. The thought of that also made him reconsider what he was to do next, as Chimera moved on quickly and began playing her submissive role in front of the Alpha once more. Vault had no real reason to stay here, and he didn’t intend to be tied down to this place in any way, shape, or form. The ocean tide had already began to annoy him, as perky, happy wolves without a care in the world populated the beach. He was sure they all had their little problems, but those issues obviously didn’t concern their living conditions. They probably felt they had their own little slice of Fenrir’s hallowed lands. That generalization made him sick. Knowing other wolves had probably noticed him on the beach by now, he tried to quickly contemplate whether he’d stay here for a little hiatus or return directly to Lacrimosa, where he probably belonged.

Amor had watched the whelps playing for a few moments, yet quickly noticing the absence of Daija from the rowdy little group. He thought he saw one of the pups leave the beach, but he tried not to think about it, believing her mother still held a close eye over her. Instead, he glanced at the dark brown-pelted bru that had just trekked casually on to the beach. He even spoke to Chimera, probably a foolish thing considering her status as a new arrival and her somewhat questionable background. But as he thought more, it made some sense: a questionable wolf acquainting with another questionable wolf, probably knowing each other from some obscure relation. He even considered approaching him, but the large male did not seem entirely…friendly. No sense in ignorantly making small-talk.

As Florence spoke, they heard a howl, a specific call. He watched her movements, as if in a trance. He nodded lightly as she broke out of it long enough to reply to the howl and speak, and made his way over towards the howl with her, making sure she wouldn't lose her way there and get turned around.

When Omisis came into sight, Red watched her pause for a moment before moving forward. Despite his red coat, he managed to blend back towards the shadows, away from obvious sight and conversational speaking range. He didn't want to intrude on such a moment, with Florence almost acting like a more confident wolf, and was polite enough to give them space, but somewhat nearby in case they required his assistance. Years ago, before encountering this pack, he wouldn't have thought to been this polite, but age brought him mellowness, patience, and understanding, although he was still fiercely protective. They were good traits for an elder once his bones decayed to the point he wasn't able to do much of the physical work. He'd never let his seven year life stop him from protecting the pack until his body caught up with age, which wouldn't occur in the near foreseeable future.

Omisis turned spotting Florence he smiled letting his tail wag a little. The massive male moving to a stand spotting Red in the distance. "My Lady... Sorry I guess I did not keep track of where I was going and got a little lost. Have you met everyone yet?" His tone was soft remembering how uncomfortable she could be at times.

Anger. She didn't feel it. Sadness. She didn't feel it. What was she supposed to feel. Her mother was dead. Laying there in the den, right in front of her. Dead. What was she supposed to think. Her head turned away finally and she looked around her. Nothing. No one. No one noticed. This is when the anger began. She stood up, walking in the den, gave her mother a kiss, her cheeks still warm with life, though it was draining slowly... no. It was gone, but it was still there. Her tassel flicked in annoyance and she turned leaving the den. A deep breath, a swish of her tail, and she walked towards the only place she could smell. Ocean. He walked and walked and when she came to it she stopped, the waves just barely crashing on her paws. This life never ended. This ocean life that was before her. Never ending, then why did her mother's life have to end. Not fair. And no one noticed. Anger again pulsed through her heart. She needed to go, leave, venture somewhere else. She turned away from the water and followed the crashing waves. It went into the trees, it went past the marking scents, it went and went and went and before she knew it... there was nothing but lone lands under her feet... Daija. That name was gone... she wanted a new name... she would have to figure this out.

It had been a pleasure to have Red's company, in fact in more ways than one it had helped, but when she reached that golden male she all but forgot about the bruja. Not that she couldn't tell he stood but paw lengths away, respecting their small reunion. Hazel hues danced over the golden fur once more, she still knew very little about Omisis, but there was something about him that caught her. Making her comfortable was an effort even with herself, but Omisis had brought comfort to her when she met the bruja. However short of a time that had been, it was enough to have an effect on her. The woman stood still for a moment, not yet ready to simply bound up to him in a greeting. No matter how much her paws begged her to. His lyrics poured and her twin peaks soaked them up, hazel azures never leaving his form. "No, they all seemed busy." While that was true, she was sure he would know it as more of an excuse for her nature. "Red suggested to come find you, he helped me here." Her lyrics were soft as always, but she was able to give Omisis more words than she had Red. Paws brought her frame forward and along Omisis' side before turning around the large male to stand next to him, an act of contact that she pushed her stubborn body to do. "He can help us get back to the main area." Now she glanced up even more, before turning her gaze in Red's direction.

Omisis smiled as she pushed herself to him. He moved into her letting her body rest on his. Gray pools turning to Red then to the beautiful fea next to him. He was in deed liking her company and let his tail slowly sway as they stood. He let his massive crown rub against the side of her neck as he slid forward letting his form move against hers. "Shall we'' was all he said as he headed to Red. He wanted her to know he liked her but not to much as to scare her off. Massive white tipped mitts reaching the other brute. "So when can we meet your alpha" Omisis tried to have the most respectable tone possible but his husky voice made it hard. His form showed no threat to Red.

His gazed turned upwards to look at them as their words started to become directed at him, a soft, small smile on his features at the sight of their closeness. Omisis' voice sounded a bit different, not because the words weren't directed at Florence, because the tones would have been switched, "No need for formalities with me, Omisis. Perhaps Jack needs a bit more reassuring, although with Junior here, I doubt it. Jack should be finished with the others by now, so we can see him now." With a faint gesture of his tail to follow him, he led the way back to where the pack was gathered. This would probably be the most telling evidence that Red didn't think the midnight would attack him. It was true he was weary when he first allowed them entry into the lands, but even on first sight, it was clear his intent wasn't on injury.
