Aponi nods to Tora as he speaks and steps closer to him as Iago moves away, heading deeper into the center of the circle. Not actually touching him, but taking some comfort from her brother's closeness, she looks over the confusing scene with dampened spirits. He's right... We really need to find someone to ask. She thinks, eyes darting over every warrior in armor she can see. But how do we choose just one? I mean, they must all know, right? So then it doesn't matter who we ask... At this point, her gaze drifts back to Rayo and Dax, excited looking apprentices milling around him, and even more coming up to speak with him. Suddenly and idea hits her and she looks back to Tora with a little spark of excitement glimmering in her eyes. "Tora, I think this is a test! We're supposed to go ask someone! They don't choose us, we're supposed to be the brave ones and choose one of them!"

Aponi cranes her neck then, practically standing on the tips of her toes as he head swivels around, taking in every warrior and glint of armor before she looks back to Tora. "Ok, well lets split up and go find some mentors, ok? You go that way and I'll go this way." She says, picking arbitrary directions that would have them meeting on the other side of the circle eventually. With that, she slips off into the crowd, light on her feet she easily snakes around the others, and few even notice that she is there. However, the progress is slow going, as she is constantly stopping to listen in on the conversations taking place everywhere around her. Eavesdropping coming to her as naturally as an otter takes to water. Thus she has not gone far when she hears Fireflight's voice, and quickly follows her gaze towards the black and white warrior Foalan. The look of utter rigidity and defiance on his face makes her chuckle, and she immediately dips back into the crowd. I can't let him stand there like that... He's going to be there until he turns to stone.

After a few moments negotiation, she manages to come up behind Iago, and on a lark she slides up beside him. Fluffing his fur forward as she slides across him, she tips her nose up and whispers in his ear. "Hey Iago, you want to be a warrior? Then be brave. Go ask someone to be your teacher." With that, she slips past him, easily walking under his chin and making sure to bop him in the nose with her tail as she passes. She grins to Fireflight, then steps back into the gathered wolves. None of others seem to notice her passing and her black and white pelt immediately mingles with the others. In effect, she melts into them and practically disappears before their eyes.

Tora

Tora followed his sister's gaze and looked around at all the warriors in shiny armor. There are so many warriors here...
"Tora, I think this is a test! We're supposed to go ask someone! They don't choose us, we're supposed to be the brave ones and choose one of them!" Aponi exclaimed. The sudden Epiphany hit Tora like a ton of bricks.
"You're right! It's some sort of test of bravery!"
"Ok, well lets split up and go find some mentors, ok? You go that way and I'll go this way."
"See you on the other side. Good luck!" Tora called after his sister as they both went their separate directions in hope of finding their mentor.

Where do I even start? I don't think I even know half the wolves here. Tora nervously looked around for someone he might know. How do I even know which warriors are accepting trainees? So many questions so little answers. In addition to finding a mentor, Tora also had to avoid getting swept away in the crowd and keep a good ear out for any hint on how exactly he could get to a mentor. I hope Aponi is having much better luck than I am. Through the crowd Tora spotted a faintly familiar brown and white pup standing next to a less familiar black and white fae. He could just feel the relief of seeing someone he knew fill him up and give him confidence.
"Boaz!" He called as he bounded over his friend, "You have no idea how relieved I am to see a familiar face in this crowd. I had no idea finding a mentor would be like this. I haven't had much luck, have you?"

((Sorry its been a while since I rped..school just is keeping me too stressed to allow rp ideas...))



Sasha laughs softly as she runs from the opening of the den ahead of her brother, almost running straight into all the pups that were surrounding the other warriors. She stopped and looked around, loving the feel of the warm sun on her ivory coat. Eve lands lightly between Sasha's ears as she scans the croud, wondering if her or her brother will ever meet any of the young pups that want to learn to be scouts. It seemed though that most of the new pups were more interested in being a warrior than a scout. Looking back over her shoulder, she smiles at Spectral, before moving through the croud and sitting over at a tree, to give herself some space as she watched the pups each meet their mentors.



Spectral rolled his eyes as his sister rushed past him, he was going a bit slower so that he could slow down before he got to the entrance. He knew there were going to be a lot of pups looking for mentors on the grass, and he didnt want to run over one. As he walked out into the sun, his eyes watered a bit, he really missed the warmth and the colors that was all over Isket during the days. He looked over at his sister, before she walked over to sit under a tree, he knew she didnt do very well in crouds, and it was a bit crouded with all the pups. He walked over to her, that whispered in her ear, letting her know he was gonna head over to their scouting area before he left her side and climbed up the path that led to where him and Sasha would be able to see the training area as well as the forests around them, just in case something decided to visit during the training. He doubted it would happen...but he always liked to make sure.

Z E P H Y R

Zephyr nodded at Dax, magenta eyes deep and grave; in this minute he had lost all joviality and had stored the rest for jovial times. The mere thought of facing an Alpha in a battle, one on one, made his fur prickle and a ahiver pass through his spine. Apparently, Akia was mirroring his thoughts as she let out a small curse, under her breath as she realized what this would mean; he would have to win, or he'd have to leave, wounds upon his sides, to his deeply loved forest, to never see any of his aqcauintances again.

However, his interest was intensified as Dax mentioned that the mentors would not make their choice, rather they had to make theirs. He paused, wondering who he would enjoy learning with. So far, he had only met three adults which tutorships were currently available; Celandia's mother, which he doubted would enjoy his prescence, Hallibell and Achilles. He sat back down, tail now still, untwitching, curled over his front paws. Hallibell, or Achilles? He had formed some sort of respect-ship with both, yet his soul tugged more towards the calm warrior with a manner so like his own. Furthermore, Achilles held him in some sort of positive regard, which would probably give him a bonus as he walked up to him with valor and question his availability for training.

Akia seemed distracted with Dax, so he touched his tail to her side in an affectionate manner and whispered only to her, "Goodbye. Have a good one with Dax," he said, a soft smile sprinkled with a wry expression on it as he wondered how he would face the rest of the evening. He cleared his throat, nodding in respect towards Dax, and, meeting Rayo's eye, bowed his head. "Farewell. I must go and mingle with the crowd."

With that, Zephyr gracefully stood up, fawn body lean and muscled, and turned away from the huddle in the center with intentions to find Achilles and ask for his guidance. Surprised he was when he found himself met with his warrior friend eyes trained on him. He smiled a small smile, and nodded at Achilles, while trotting proudly towards him, yet body language reserved and calm. "Hey," he intoned, as he approached the brute, eyes sparkling with surpressed horror and excitement. "We were told we should find the warrior ourselves, not the other way around," he explained simply, not bothering with decorations or fashionable small talk. He shrugged, smiling coyly at Achilles. "Are you taking on anymore apprentices, or any at all, rather?" he asked, voice hinting with curiosity at the possible aspect of him joining Achilles in training.

[Okay guys. XD Thanks. I had meant names, but thank you. I just went to the list and randomly picked a Warrior. Hopefully Foalan can take on Haestine, lol. That's who I picked.]

Haestine

The burnt rose male looked to the female besides him, giving Nexus a gentle nudge on the shoulder with his head before lookg out and about again. It seemed his sister, from snippets he had heard, was possibly getting training from Dax. Trainign from one so high up would have been well worth the effort of standing up and asking, however by the throng of young wolves around the Warrior, he doubted he'd be able to get training from the male.

Looking back to Nexus, he asked gently, "I was thinking it'd be nice for us to train together with the same mentor. If you don't want to, that's alright. I just thought it'd be nice." The male paused for a second or two, "I have Foalan in mind as a mentor... If he's not already gotten his paws full with the others. Did you have anyone in mind?"

Haestine was a little taken aback by how calm and gentle he was around Nexus, despite the hustle and bustle of lots of Warriors and Trainees and Pups all around him. He didn't do very well with large crowds however the black pelted female at his side seemed toput an odd sense of ease over him

[Sorry for my lack of posting. I'm just waiting for my mentor, Romulus, to reply.

If my mentor does not reply, what exactly do I do?]

[Tundra]

Nexus shifted her weight slightly still scanning the crowed for her mentor. It appeared Ajax was busy, or just sleeping. Seemed like him to sleep after the massive Kronador battle. She wasn't sure though, then again, who wouldn't want to sleep after that vicious of a battle. Nexus stretched and tilted her ear to more listen to what Haestine was saying. Looking over to him she said "Folan is good, well built and a good mentor. Though I don't have anyone in mind. I have a mentor actually, Ajax" She flicked her long tail looking back to the crowed. Maybe Ajax would appear here soon, she didn't know. Until he did though, it probably would be good for her to find someone to train with. At least as a backup if Ajax was to busy.

[[Bah writers block..plus..not much to go off of..I guess..I'm just tired XD]]

[Neara]

[[woah ya'll are right, about the mentor to trainee and apprentice ratio... but we'll make it work. ^^ {what happened to tevron?}]]

Dax

Just as he sat down a little voice rang out for him, "Oh! Uncle Dax, may I join you?", Dax bobbed his head downwards to see a bashful pup he knew to be his nephew Xerxes. Smiling warmly well "why not you little bugger, i can't say no to my sister's son" Dax gave a glance towards Foalan who was watching over her pups with anticipation and hopefulness. "come here and meet your new partners Katnis and Akiaterine" he said gesturing with his head and neck. With his attention turned towards them Dax caught onto Akia's stiffened appearance just as he was about to ask her she snapped out of her trance saying, "Thank you so much for letting me train with you" giving a soft smile Dax replied "It's my pleasure, and thank you for picking me."

Content with his little bunch, Dax took his time to assess the rest of the pack. 'Seems everyone is getting the hang of things, the new apprentices are making some good mentor selections which made him happy, but alot of mentors are still in the healing area of the den making this crucial time a bit difficult. He started to think about Amanra, he should go check on her it's been a while now... lifting his eyes to Rayo, who was now sitting upon a large hill overlooking the mingle area his face appearing as expressionless as ever, but Dax knew his brother. He was just as excited as the rest of them were, Dax could tell by the little wags of the tip of his long tail. 'psh you tough guy, you i thought having pups would change that' he thought to himself.

Standing up dax brushed off, took a few steps then stretched. "My little crew please get acquainted with one another for you will be seeing each other for quite a while and working as a unit will be a good lesson to start working on now." he said as he scampered off towards the dens.

Halibell

As everyone was making their rounds, meeting with their mentors and such, Halibell started to feel distant. Sensing movement she looked up to find Dax trotting off towards the dens, watching him with a confused look she noticed another Warrior coming out of a side entrance/exit. She followed this female with her gaze, unable to put a name to the coat pattern. Looks like she just woke up and was heading in the direction of the waterfall. Deciding she wanted to meet this warrior, Halibell took one hesitant step then stopped a moment, as if she would be punished to take another. Closing her eyes a moment, she took a deep breath of assurance as she broke free from her mental hindrance and trekked onward determined to find a way to fit in. Just then the fae let out a lovely silky howl and turned towards her ears perked. Stopping in her tracks the anxiety returned to her as she rummaged through her mind 'is she looking at me? am i not supposed to follow?' Then a low masculine howl responded, cocking her head Halibell saw Rayo 'she must know rayo on a personal level i suppose' looking back the white female disappeared. 'Wah? she's fast' Halibell hustled ahead following the fae's scent to the waterfall. She slowed her pace to a walk a few yards away as to not disturb. When reaching the water's edge Halibell met the eyes of her target. They were equaly as beautiful maybe even more beautiful, they way her blue eyes seemed to speak a thousand words stuned those who gazed, even so Halibell managed to say "May i ask, what is your name?". The warrior replied "I am Lady Soraya".
