A Tale of Two Packs V2 (Play)

Storm | Fire Warrior | Location: Forest | Tagging: Karter

"I know, and I'm not saying you should abandon that promise. Let's just focus on getting back to the Lightning Pack territory for now and then... well, then we'll deal with things as they come. I daresay we'll have enough time to consider what may be on the way and what could have been, long after we've dealt with our worries. We're always going to worry about could have beens, but what good does that do us?" She shook her head. "Like I've been saying, one step after another. Let's deal with the conversation between you and Aala, then we'll worry about everything else."

SHADOW | Alpha | L-Pack | Tagging: Lightning Wolves | Location: Camp


Normally, this would be the time when Shadow would’ve announced the death of Ginger, who lay in the middle of the camp, half hidden behind the crowd, but this was a happy occasion, and she wanted to give the graduates at LEAST an hour or two to let things settle in and revel in their achievements. She smiled to see their energy, their pride, their youth. It made her feel old. Older than she was, even, and she was just over eight. She’d lived a good, successful life. Yet she still felt somehow incomplete. Perhaps it’s because I’ve begun to deteriorate. I saw the look on Leo's face. He's seemed uneasy, and when he looked at me earlier, it was with worry. He knows.

Shadow wasn't blind to her own growing flaws. She knew that her mental state would give way sooner rather than later if this chaos continued like this. She could deal with a lot, and she had for many a year, but everything was happening all at once, and it was taking a visible toll on her. She seemed older and more frail both physically and mentally, and she felt it. Sometimes, she felt things were out of her control and tried to take back that control. That was a large part of why her relationship with Ash had fallen apart, which weighed equally heavy on her. All put together, it felt like too much for one wolf to deal with, and the Lead Warrior had been distant, then absent, no Lead Hunter had been chosen yet, and the Beta kept busy. Then the fact so much bad was happening under her rule... I could give it up and return to being a Warrior for my last year and a half before joining the elders...but I promised my father before me when he chose me that I would serve and lead until I breathed my last, and I don’t break promises. Not unless I absolutely have to.


KARTER | Warrior | F-Pack | Tagging: Storm | Location: Forest


Storm had a point there, Karter noticed. Man that was getting annoying! She had a point for everything today, it seemed. Well if she has a point, that just means I didn’t, right? He reminded himself. It made sense to him! He smiled despite himself. Thinking too much on the could-have-beens. She’s right. If I dwell on that forever, be it before or after, then moving forward would never be an option.

They walked in silence for a while after that before Karter finally broke that silence. "You’re right," the brown Warrior finally agreed with a nod. "How's it that all of a sudden you’re filled with such wisdom?" He asked. Sky-dogs... I forget how much I missed her until she speaks...

Storm | Fire Warrior | Location: Forest | Tagging: Karter

Storm grinned at Karter.
"Seasons of trauma and regret, my fine fellow!" She told him with a laugh. "Wisdom tends to grow when you reflect on how badly you've messed up your life and I did a fine amount of that, sky-dogs know!" She shook her head and sighed. "Is that your way of telling me to knock it off with the wise words and keep walking?" She asked, glancing at him with a wry, half-smile.

Oliver/male/Tags: Faith/Amber/Location: Nursery/F-pack pup
Oliver shot off and decided to go into the Warrior's den. He dived into one of the nests and giggled.

Amber/female/Tags: Faith/June, Oliver/Location: Nursery/F-pack Pup
She ran over towards the prey pile. She couldn't find a spot and could hear Faith counting. She dove for the bush close by and hoped it would conceal her.

Here is my reply.

She nodded saying, "Ya. You should go off to talk with Sandpiper. Tell her I said congrats."

OOC: @Lucy: Thanks!

JUNE/FAITH | Pup | F-Pack | Tagging: Oliver, Amber | Location: Camp


"...Eight...nine...TEN!" Faith's eyes shot open again with the last number spoken, and she looked around wildly, trying to catch sight of Amber or Oliver. Their scents were kind of all over the place, so it’d be hard to go by scent at this point. She’d have to rely solely on her vision and hearing. So she wandered slowly through the camp, peeking around the prey pile and poking her head in the Trainee den. No luck. Then around trees. She even looked up to see if by some miracle, one of them had managed to CLIMB a tree. No such luck, however.


KARTER | Warrior | F-Pack | Tagging: Storm | Location: Forest


Karter grinned goofily in response to her guess. It wasn’t how he’d meant it, but if she wanted to take it that way, he’d play along. "Maaaaaybe," He responded, then shrugged it off. They’d both done some damage to their lives. He was none the wiser for it. "Seriously though, you’ve opened my eyes to things in the past couple of visits. Stuff I wouldn’t have otherwise come up with on my own, realizations I wouldn’t‘ve made if it was just left up to me," He added, glancing over at her as they walked. It was nice to start getting things sorted out.


LEO | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: Riley | Location: Camp


"Piper? I think she’s..." Leo frowned, looking around quickly and realizing he couldn’t see her in the crowd of gathered wolves. He shrugged. "Elsewhere. I think I saw her talking to Quicksilver earlier, so maybe they’re friends? I dunno. She might’ve gone off to talk to her. C'mon, we're friends too, and I don’t spend much time with you anymore now that you're in the nursery with your litter. We used to talk more."

JUNE/FAITH | Pup | F-Pack | Tagging: Amber, Oliver | Location: Camp


"Being rude is...well, rude." Not that Faith's own mother was the prime example of politeness and respect. "I think Denae once played a game like that...she called it hide-and-seek or something. Kinda like that?" She asked.


NIGHT | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: Angel, Enna | Location: Camp


"Well...THAT." Night nodded towards where Ginger's limp body was half hidden in the crowd of gathered wolves. "I followed her a bit when she wandered. She tripped over a rock and somehow bled out. I probably shoulda tried to save her, but I guess...I didn’t see the point." Was that harsh? Probably. But Night had NEVER been known for being kind, helpful, nor for caring about most other wolves.


ENNA | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: Angel, Night | Location: Camp


Enna groaned and lifted her head at the mention of a ceremony. What could they possibly be having a ceremony for? She vaguely heard Shadow calling for Leo and Sandpiper. Was it their graduation already? She perked up, but still...wasn’t QUITE awake. "Okay? What’s going on?"

She nodded and said, "Right. I mean, I've been busy fostering Kate and Tiger, I practically never leave the nursery anymore. On top of taking care of the pups." Her eyes met his and she thought, man, I want to never lose him again. I let it happen before, but now, I can't lose him again. Not when he is my best friend.

Peeta/Tags: Rue/Location: Camp/F-pack/Warrior/Male
He looked at her and said, "Hey Rue. I think you need to go straighten out things with Thunder. I can't bear to see you fighting with another wolf. I hope he understands. Look, I just want you to talk it out with him." He licked her cheek and nuzzled her chest. The young trainee looked so much like him back when he was a trainee. Hah, he just graduated today.

Rue tags thunder

Rue runs to find thunder then acedentaly runs into him and says “thunder can we talk?”
