Sinnoch bit deep into the flesh of a rabbit, fluffy white fur making his nose tickle. The prey animal's blood poured into his mouth, sweet yet coppery compared to fish. The wolf began to devour the rabbit he had caught only a few seconds before, mind occupied by Black Dawn and who exactly he'd be put up against. As he ticked off all the males in the pack, he finally came to the decision that he had little competion. But still, that didn't mean he should completely ignore them. Sin sat back, relaxed in the moment, and thought about Alicia. Odd for him to be thinking of her at this moment, but some things are on whims, as the hunter did with the distracted bunny. He could still hear the shrill squeaks of surprise the animal had voiced in his ears like echos, but as he slowly wolfed it down, the male felt happy he had killed it. I'm a hunter, he mused Wild, ferocious, untamed. But the thing I do worst, is talking to females. Sin smiled at this, his chops turned scarlet by the delicious snack.

{Sin's open for anyone. (:}

Anton was already chest deep in the river, wadding through it with ease when an unknown howl split through the air. He paused , ears erect as he, waited for the howl to end. The current rushed around his form as they raced to their destinations. His fur became soaked, now able to feel the cool water on his flesh. It would dry in the sun...It was the warmest season after all. The sound faded and he raised his muzzle to the sky and let loose his response. His voice slipped through the warm air, speeding towards who ever cared to hear him. As his lungs deflated the howl too began to fade as he lost the main fuel for the sound coming from his jaws. The howl continued resonating through the forest long after he had stopped all together. Best to see what they want... He thought as he replied to the unknown wolf(s) Most likely hopping to join the pack by the sound of it....

With that he pushed through the rest of the river. He was forced to swim in a few areas, choosing a deeper part of the normally shallow waters. This didn't bother him however... Once on solid ground he shook what water he could from his thick, black striped pelt before taking off in the direction the howl had come from. His thick paws ripped through the earth as he set off in the direction of the howl. He weaved through the trees and undergrowth, placing his large paws carefully on the fertile ground.

The scent of the wolves alerted him of them before he saw them. It was defiantly more than one wolf, three if his nose didn't device him. He slowed to a trot, approaching more cautiously now. Voices could be heard now, they seemed to be adults by the sound of it. Taking the last steps he entered the clearing with the log the three wolves stood in. He looked them over for a moment before speaking. “What is your business here?” His voice hinted with a restrained growl. The coal fur along his spin was raised slightly. Though it was only habit to be cautious around strangers, especially when there are three. He watched the three closely, his golden eyes moving from one wolf to the other as he awaited their response.

StelMaria
StelMaria blinked, as Raven clamped her mouth shut, giving her scrawny body a shake. Several leaves dropped off, making hardly a sound when they hit the ground. She raised her eyebrows and looked up at Rowan, waiting for him to say something, but he only stood and listened.
One... Two... Three... Four seconds.
Nothing. And then, the silence was broken by the response, not far from where they were. When if ended, StelMaria looked to her companions for a reaction, but they said nothing. Raven sat where she was, waiting patiently, and Rowan took a few steps back to hop back ontop of the log, Angling his ears different ways like a lookout. She looked at him questioningly.
"Wait," he barked, and stayed standing where he was.
Behind her, the bushes quivered, and she turned to see a wolf step out.
Raven, doing what Raven does best, immediately stood at his question, mirroring his hostile look. But StelMaria didn't dare move. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Rowan did not change his position. He calmly stepped down from his spot on the tree, trotting only a couple of steps closer to the brute. "Our purpose is not to Challenge you, my friend," StelMaria watched as he dipped his head. "I assume you are part of the Pack that resides in these woods?"
She kneaded the ground with her paws, afraid that this wolf would attack Rowan, and backed up a bit, her stump of a tail twitching nervously from side to side.

Marock was walking along the forested area when he heard Hyra running back to him, calling his name. He stopped, his ears perking up as he turned his head back to see the three coming towards him. He didn't know why they came back but they were here. "What is it?" he asked, The wind was gentle and the sun was high as the leaves in the trees danced with the wind, making the small rustling sound. Marock was slightly confused. Why did they come back to him anyways. It seemed like Hyra had something important to say.

((I had WB so I used the trees and the wind as a filler. LOL!!))

Vulcan was a bit surprised when Willow said she was going to be participating in the events. She was much smaller than the other faes...Yet, that might give her an advantage. He pushed his persistent thoughts to the back of his mind. The brute wasn't normally one to think so much, yet this morning seemed to have sparked the intellectual side of his brain. “Well, you'll have a fan to cheer you on when the trails start,” he said, a grin forming on his muzzle.

When Willow seemed so reluctant to hunt skunks he could put together the pieces quite quickly. A skunk smelled, it was its' way of defense...So she must have been sprayed a time to many. He smiled inwardly and chuckled lightly, “Those striped monsters can be quiet a nose sore if you don't get them fast enough.” The fish were his second choice. It was warm outside, and it would be a nice change of pace, since he normally hunted larger game. “How about we catch a few fish then?” He offered, “It's a nice day out, not so cold we'll freeze our tails off if we get a little wet.” His nose tipped in the direction of the flowing water beside the two wolves as he added the last part.

Ceris' tail thumped against the ground a few times, dipping her head modestly as the older she-wolf introduced herself. She was secretly savoring Aurores' company, it was nice to be sharing a few moments with someone. The she wolf nodded her head lightly in agreement to her words. “True, some things are better forgotten.” She paused for a heartbeat before finishing her thought, “Everything seems to have a bittersweet taste.” This morning is to perfect to be thinking of the past. She scolded herself silently for dwelling on her lost life.

The young she-wolves dreamy eyes lit up as Aurore asked to accompany her. But then remembered there were few pups that needed to be taken care of. It was a good thing, yet it left her with nothing to do with herself. “I don't have much planned for today, but you may come If you'd like. “ She smiled faintly at her as she stood as well. Her tail stayed low, wagging ever so slightly as she thought of what she could do to entertain Aurore. Maybe the pups or mothers want something. She mused for a moment before speaking. “Perhaps the pups need tending.” Her voice was soft as she thought about the pups, they always had that affect on her.

Anton lowered is guard as the wolves didn't seem hostile, only a dark furred fae seemed to have half a mind of attacking. His fur fell and he dipped his head slightly in a more polite greeting. “Yes, I am a warrior in the pack of this land. My name is Anton. “ He moved his golden eyes from one wolf to the other, giving them a less hostile look over. When they didn't answer his first question he simply repeated it, “What brings you here?” He shifted his weight from one paw to the other as he waited for their answer.

"Being an orphan is lonely. You've got no family, often no friends, you're utterly alone. Nobody to rely on, you have to learn to survive and kill on your own. I may act alone, but if I can bring myself to trust another, I will definitely watch out for them... And I can only hope that they'll watch out for me too."

Atra trudged along, too tired to do anything but continue the rhythm. Step, pause, step, pause. She wasn't thirsty, no, nor was she tired. It was as if she were in a trance. She shook her head to get rid of the fogginess clouding her brain. She stopped and leaned down to take a drink from the creek. The cool waters refreshed her. When she lifted her nose, she caught a wiff of something. It smelled like... her. Atra raced forward, skidding to a stop when she noticed a wolf ahead of her. Atra stepped back into the shadows, but it was too late. She had been noticed.

Atra backed into the underbrush as she realized that she had, in fact, not been seen, but it mattered not to her. Her heart pounding, her head spun as she almost threw up. She had seen her own kind for the first time. Her heart pounded within her ribcage, and her fur stood on end. Time seemed to freeze as her mind leaped into overdrive, instinctively analyzing all the information presented to her. The wolf had vibrant green eyes and a brilliant white pelt. Atra couldn't tell if it was male or female, but that was probably due to her inexperience with others. When she returned to the world, she realized it weren't acting hostile at all. Instead, it seemed to be humming joyfully. Atra stepped back a moment, freezing up as she accidentally stepped on a twig.

The wolf instantly shot up straight, stock still, ears twitching. Atra silently cursed. She would have to meet this wolf. Atra slowly stepped out into the open, tilting her head in curiosity. After all, if she was meeting her kind for the first time, she may as well take in any information she could. The wolf tilted it's head in response. "I've never seen you around her before. Are you new?"

Atra nodded, shoving down the slight fear that was attempting to twist itself up into her mind, her eyes flaring neon blue for a moment. "Yes, I suppose I am, aren't I."

The wolf chuckled. "Yeah, definitely never seen you around. I'm Alicia by the way."

Atra shifted a little on her paws, but managed to force out a small smile. "Hi, I'm Atra. I take it you're a hunter for whatever pack you're in?"

Alicia nodded. "I'm a hunter, yeah." Alicia looked at Atra's slightly nervous face. "Say, you're what, two years old about? What're you doing without a pack?"

"As if it's unusual to not have a pack?" Atra mentally cursed. She was cornered.

"Welll..." Alicia tilted her head back as she thought. "We have gotten a number of new wolves recently, but that could just be because of Black Dawn."

Atra shrugged. "If I say I don't know what Black Dawn is, would you be surprised?"

"You'd be surprised. We've had a number of wolves who haven't recently."

Atra was getting antsy. She hadn't any social experience, and just wanted to be out of there. "Hey, you okay?" Atra's head shot up as Alicia addressed her.

"Yeah, fine."

Alicia tilted her head again. "You don't look it, if you wanna be alone, that's fine."

Atra gave a soft, but genuine smile at this. She didn't know if others would be nice at all, but here was the very first wolf she had met, and Alicia seemed pretty nice. "If you don't mind?"

Alicia shrugged. "I don't mind, long as I get another chance to talk to you Atra, would that be okay?"

Atra nodded. "That'd be... nice. I should get going though, so goodbye."

Alicia nodded and walked away, humming again. Atra glanced at her retreating figure, before walking away a little. Atra went over what happened, and then dropped to the ground trembling. Fear and shock caught up to her. Although she hadn't shown it, the conversation had been nerve-wracking, but she did feel a sort of bond forming between them. Perhaps she could... finally have a friend? She would never admit it, ever, but she started to feel lonely. Meeting Alicia had brought something out of her that had previously been buried within the depths of her mind. Only then did Atra realize how being depraved of a social life had affected her. Atra couldn't tell if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Atra shook her head. It wouldn't do to just sit there mulling over her thoughts, it was getting dark. Atra walked a little farther along the stream as the starts started to shine, and she found herself looking upon a sparsely populated clearing. She circled around the clearing, relying on the light of the moon to guide her. She found what looked like an old game trail, which meant food and shelter. Turning into the forest, she looked back upon the clearing once more, before plunging into the dark, taking twists and turns, and before long, she found another clearing. Very small, but very cozy, with a small natural cave, and plenty of game would be found in the morning. Atra fell asleep that night mulling over the possibility of making a friend.

((Note: Yeah, I got Destonation's help with this for her OC, also permission from her to have Atra meet Alicia, so yeah. Gonna be the only time I do this probs.))

Aurore -

"I'd love to help you out with that, if you'll let me!" Aurore's eyes shone brilliantly with excitement. Finally, something to do! She swivelled her ears back, now almost completely grey with age. The many years behind her had not yet managed to take away a small streak of cub-like behaviour. She waited whilst the younger wolf rose, and struck up another conversation. "You really like the pups, don't you? I can read it from your eyes."

Her chest heaved in a slow sigh. "They're lucky little ones, getting such a lovely cub-sitter." Her own thoughts wandered involuntarily back to the time when she'd had her own cubs, and struggled just to keep them warm at night. No, she chided herself, I shouldn't be such a hypocrite! I should be focusing more on now.

Arashi sat in silence, waiting for Wotai to respond to him. There was a second voice behind him, and he turned his head when he heard it. Almost directly behind him, there was a female wolf. Now this one is most definitely not a member of the pack, I have never seen her before. He gave her a nod of acknowledgement and said, "I am Arashi. Do you wish to join our pack?" since he had never seen her before it only seemed right to ask her if she wished to join, and he gave her a small smile. He turned to briefly face Wotai, wondering what he thought about this strange fae. She did not seem to be posing any threat to neither he nor Wotai, so he allowed the hair on the back of his neck to calm down.

He looked her up and down, she seemed to be sturdily built, so maybe that meant that she had come for Black Dawn. Many a wolf came at this time of year to participate in Black Dawn, the competition that their pack had been named after. This thought then led him to think about when the sun would not rise, for this happening was only a few days away. He sincerely hoped all the wolves who had decided to partake are ready.

After her brief interaction with the wolf who called herself "Atra", Alicia found herself humming as she walked back over towards Boreal. Something about Atra's appearance was just so puzzling, it was as if she was not used to being around someone of her own kind. She walked back to Boreal and gave him an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry about that. So, about that fishing?" she smiled at him, "I'm getting a little hungry, it sounds good right about now." She then turned and started walking down to the creek, she turned back a few times to see if Boreal was following. She then stopped to allow him to catch up, "Do you know where you want to go? Like, what part of the river?"

[No Going Back]

Shuvara

"Actually, I would. I'm not an awfully skilled hunter, but can put up a fairly decent fight, and there's strength in numbers- right? I've heard tell of an event called Black Dawn, and I thought that whilst wolves are participating you might need an extra paw or two. Plus, I lied a bit. "Not awfully skilled" just doesn't describe it. I'm a fail at hunting, and if I keep my life as a loner how it is I'll starve to death, or lose my strength and get eaten by a bear, or some other terrible form of death." Shuvara explained bluntly, before continuing: "So, I think it'd be to both our advantages if I joined. Put me to work if you will, but know I have my limits." With a sharptoothed grin, the fae added: "I'm Shuvara, by the way.

The fae ran her unremarkable amber eyes over the Alpha male. He seemed to be well built, but then again, Shuvara- whilst originally lithe and slender- had trained herself up for a whie now and had taken on a stocky build, even though she was of minimum strength. Shuvara dipped her head to both male wolves, letting her fur lie completely flat.

{Sorry I poofed, But my posts lately are going to be maybe the shortest they have been because it is nearing the end of school and I am working my but off to actually pass D: but I still have time to do replies to things so don't get impatient, kay? }

Boreal -

He quickened his pace to reach Alicia, then fell into step beside her. In his mind, many questions about yet another mysterious she-wolf bustled, but he decided to leave them unvoiced and instead focus on hunting. "Ah, I thought the east side might be good at this time in the morning..." Looking into the sky, he took a note of the Sun's position and allowed a small grin of sorts to form on his stocky face.

Ah, the feeling just before a hunt! Sometimes he would wonder if such overwhelming excitement was good for his mental state, but his worries were always overridden by this fantastic feeling. Even over something as small as this, Boreal couldn't stop his legs from quaking in pure joy. He watched Alicia's paws make soft imprints in the grass, and his own make slightly larger dents in the bright green stalks. He held himself tall and heaved a huge breath, trying to calm his twisting nerves as they arrived at the river.
