Cursed Mirage

The arid planes stretched out behind him for miles. The soft thump of his paws hitting the hard packed sands was the only sounds he could hear. This place, as always, was empty. From time to time you could catch brief scents of others, but it was not always wolves. Other animals moved through this place as well. The key word being through. This was not a place anyone stayed. Even the oasis that he was rapidly approaching was little reward for this landscape. By now he was used to the heat and the sand. Used to the dirt that constantly clogged his coat and his pads. You could almost say that he did not mind it anymore. Almost.

Curse slowed his pace as he neared the only viable land in the region. It was lined with crunchy grasses and stunted trees. Eking out a living on the only major water source available. He took a moment to rub his face into his foreleg, dislodging the crusted dirt. He was looking forward to a dip in the cool waters. He glanced back over his shoulder to see two silhouettes wavering in the distance but he knew better than to trust his sight. Here the desert played tricks on your eyes. Only time would tell if they were real or imagined. Perhaps some of his clan mates had the same idea to head out for a cool dip. Though he doubted it. He knew they much preferred to stay in the cool crevices of their rocky domain, hiding out until nightfall.

Approaching the oasis he could already feel the moisture in the air. Surveying the area for threats and discerning that he was alone he plunged in grateful for the opportunity.

Snow white ears twitched to the sound of paws making their way into the oasis. The large white fea stayed in her spot where she had been resting during the heat of the day. Her ears swiveled this way and that to gather as much information on this newcomer. Her white coat made it hard for her to hid in most any land, but here the brush was thicker and likely hid her better. She almost wished for the grey coloring of her brother but the thoughts that started to flow from that made her shake to rid her mind of that creature. Her eyes peered through the growth to try and spot the other wolf.

The water felt wonderful to say the least and he spent a few minutes wading around. Perching himself on the edge so that he still sat in a shallow portion he again scanned the area noting no other changes. As this was the only source of water for miles he doubted that he would be alone for any length of time. Scents mingled along the shores but nothing fresh. He wondered if any of his clan mates would make an appearance here today but again he doubted it. He tried to make the trip here as often as possible himself. Occasionally Reaper would join him but she also had to stay to look after her young ones.

Just then he a smell drifted to him on the wind and his fur ruffled along his spine. He squinted suspiciously at the surrounding brush wondering if he as quite alone as he thought...

The white fea bobbed her head and the scent of a male came to her nostrils but as quickly as it came the breeze shifted and blew her own scent towards him. She knew he would scent her at once so she stood and stepped through the brush. As she stepped through into his sight the breeze touched her white fur and made her appear like a ghost. Her ice white eyes bore down on him like a blizzard sweeping down on the tundra.

She stepped fully out from the brush and sat next to the water's edge. The air of afterlife past from her presence but her nobility was still fully about her. "Ello." Her voice was thick with an "Irish" accent.

It was not long before the she wolf appeared and he tilted his head curiously. How long had she been here? Not that it mattered, he was not the self conscious sort and he was confident in his maleness that she was no threat to him. Unless there were others around as well....but no. Common to mistake one scent but not multiple. He was no spring fawn after all. Her voice had a curious inflection in it and he couldn't help the lopsided smiles that grew on his mug. "Greetings mistress, sightseeing are we?" Here all wolves were just tourists never staying in this place. Of course it was no place at all to stay even this oasis.

Her kissers gave no more than the hint of a grin before her snowy gaze washed over the land. "Yes. In a way I am. But yet I am not. What brings you from your pack?" Her voice still soft but seeming to hide a history far longer than any Earth bound wolf. Her gaze came back to his, her eyes giving nothing but a long past away in the depth of a white fog. The scent of sand was heavy upon his frame but others were there as well. Why had he left his pack? Merely for a drink and time alone? Why had she? Her thoughts came back to her and she looked down upon his dusty body.

Of course his initial assessment of her included a thorough once over. She was a fine specimen and he did had a thing for faes with white coats. Unfortunate that the only one he had been interested in had long since departed from their clan and left only Akira....whom any bru worth his weight in elk knew to steer clear. Her demeanor was cool though but it was no matter. After all he wasn't here to make friends, not really. She spoke softly but he heard her clearly, a weight in her tone that reflected...something more. He pondered what she meant by her comment. Perhaps she was on a journey or something. "No pack here miss, more of a clan really. Bit of a nasty bunch of wolves sometimes at that. We don't bother the travelers but I'd take care if you plan on staying in the area. Though you'd have to be just about as raving mad as us to even try and live off this land." His words were more warning then threat. He was more of the mild mannered sort more so than most of his companions. No doubt if anyone was here the heckling would have already begun. "As for my intentions, just here for a cool dip. Sand gets right nasty down in your fur." He paused watching her reaction. He also wasn't one to pry, if she wanted to speak to him she would. If not then it was no sweat off his back.
