Elemental (Wolf RP) (Accepting)

[Wildmagic_warrior]

When Strike awoke, she noticed that the sun was sinking below the horizon, dipping a red landscape into night. She stood on her cloud and opened her wings, looking down over the forest. I need to leave. To protect what I- what I love, I need to go as far away as I can. I'll go to the ocean. Maybe I'll find my old tribe, and stop using my powers. I'll be Alpha, since it's my birthright, and... and I'll forget about this place. It won't exist to me. Nothing about it, not the trees, not the mines, not the wolves. She flapped her wings and hovered for a moment, then went into a dive and landed lightly at the base of a lightning-riven tree near the river. Using one claw that was red-hot with electric fire, Strike clumsily carved a few words.
Leave what you love.
Love what you leave.
I'm happy.
Don't come looking.
Goodbye.
Below the words she burned a line in the shape of a small lightning bolt. With silent tears sizzling through her fur, the white she-wolf flapped her wings and lifted herself into the air, then turned and headed east, towards the ocean, following the river, not looking back.

Semper Fi winced as he heaved himself up to his paws, gasping from the pain. As he stumbled forward, he came upon a large tree. He saw something engraved in it. "Barzul!" He muttered, snarling under his breath. As he read the message, he spotted the lightning bolt. "Darn it Strike, why'd you go?" He struggled to make wings, but he couldn't even make a barrier, much less make fire wings. In fact, he could barely even walk! He managed to stumble all the way back to Utau's cave, collapsing right after he made it. Flopping down with a sigh, he tried to spot Utau, feeling worse then ever.

Strike lowered her head so the wind wouldn't whistle in her ears, and kept flying. She used a few storm clouds as cover, then decided on one last thing. Before she flew out of her ten-mile range, she asked the clouds to rain on the forest. It was a warm rain, a spring rain in the middle of summer. The drops sizzled quietly in the dirt as they hit the ground, seeming almost to whisper, "Sorry, sorry."

Utau heard something by her cave and bounded to the source "Semper Fi?" she barked. When she saw how he was she gasped, and picked him up then brought him into the cave. "Are you alright?" she asked, licking any wounds that were visible.

[snowflake139]

"Don't fuss over me..." He rasped. "Strike's left. Please... look for her. It's all my fault... I need you to look for her. And if you find her, tell her I'm sorry and that once she comes back, she can whack me until I'm unconcious and call me insults like rot-gut."

[timaeus Testified]

Utau smacked him upside the head, gently though. "Don't be stupid! You hurt, and I overheard you talking to her earlier, hit with lightning? Then expect me to leave you alone like this? Fat chance, now shut up, and let me help." she said sternly, she wasnt going to take 'no' for an answer. She continued cleaning any wounds.

Once Strike had left the air over the forest, she turned and hovered above the roaring falls that led to Lower Riversdale, and from there to the ocean. She had half-hoped that Semper Fi would come after her, but she didn't know he was too weak to fly- she hadn't seen the extent of his injuries. You're kidding yourself, darling, soothed her inner voice. He cares more about Utau, anyways. Forget about him. Strike turned back around and kept flying, glancing from side to side occasionally. She heaved an inward sigh, and thought, I had hoped that he could see past my actions and into my heart- but I'm deluding myself. He doesn't care about me. Not even enough to try and stop me from leaving. She spread her wings and flew higher, gaining altitude and speed until she was above the clouds. The air was thin up here, but the sun was shining brightly above the dark stormclouds below her paws. Above, the sky was a clear, crisp blue, and it made her feel a little better to be flying in the sun.

"Darn it, Utau! Barzul, just look for Strike! Don't you realize that my brave loyalty is blinding and that I put others before me? Wow, I really am a dunce. Looks like Strike really did have a reason to leave... I admit my flaws and I understand them, yet I do nothing to change or reflect them..." As he was pondering this, Utau was still cleaning his wounds.

[timaeus Testified]

Utau rolled her eyes with mock-annoyance. She continued cleaning his wounds.

[snowflake139]

He swatted weakly at Utau, still complaining. "You have to find Strike!"
