Username:Lavapony
Pup number:Number one
Pup's name:Desoto (Duh, so toe)
Personality: Desoto can be a romantic charmer occasionally. He is a huge show off (like myself) hates to loose in anything, even if it's something he's terrible at. He's very brave, He loves battle and can never wait for them, even if he isn't old enough quite yet. He loves to go around the dens and visit the She-wolves having cubs. Kronadors but there is one he despises most named Blade, They are sworn enemies but neither have won in a battle yet, each have flee. And well, for everyone else too but Blade is his rival. He laid eyes on him during a apprentice training, only Lestat knows about this, he's been a good boy and stayed away from him for his own good, but I'm not so sure if that will last very long, so expect a brutal battle with Blade. He might seem little a little sweetie. But in battle he is brutal in cruel, shows no mercy. But he always stops at the first pounce if cant see who she's attacking to make sure it's not another pack member, you only make that mistake once...or twice. ok fine 15 times. He is very loyal to his pack, if they want him to do something, He will do it no matter what, or had his best effort, he may not enjoy these tasks but they are done, as if he is asked to patrol, he will, but isn't his favorite job, he loves to hunt and battle. He mostly likes to go out with a few pack friends and hunt for awhile, he can live with patrolling if he's with someone.
In Desoto's free time he loves to relax a the foot of a strong tree, but even then he prefers walking around, he is mostly restless and loves being active. He likes to sharpen his claws on old trees, he says it makes his paws relaxed.
he feels like he needs to meet some more of his pack mates, he doesn't seem to know many that well.
He can only seem to recognize his alphas And Lestat, and that's not a big step since everyone knows them pretty well.
Desoto is a bit sassy and often comments on many things that do not concern him. He sometimes thinks he's the best.
Story/History:(Bleh the pup one isn't too great)
Where it all beganThe sound of Mikró's Howl echoes though the night in Isket. The two pups of Mikró and Mink where born.
The sun has just set in Isket, the sky was a beautiful shade of magenta. The perfect day for Mink's beautiful pups to be born.
The Proud parents of the pups. "Desoto" and the female who was named by the father. Desoto squirmed blindly by his mother.
He gave a soft whimper as her warm tongue licked the soft fur on his head. He fell asleep. The life of Desoto has began.
A few days laterDesoto woke up on a happy note. He wagged his little tail and woke up his sister when he climbed on his mother and pounced on her.
She awoke with a startled yipe she gave a playful growl and batted him with her small paw.
Desoto laughed and nipped her ear. They both looked at the entrance as they heard paw steps close by.
There he was, their father Mikró. The two pups squealed "Dad!" Then raced to him. they pounced on his side and he playfully fell. He Laughed with amusement. Desoto climbed up onto his head and happily mauled his ear.
This was the life in here, mom and dad to play with all the time but Desoto wanted to discover out of the den.
He put his small paw on his mother's muzzle "when can we go out?" Desoto asked with an excited yip, but he was still too young.
He sighed and laid down for rest.
Exploring out of the denFinally mom lets us out to explore the den wow, its huge. But we are told that everyone else lives in here too so we must watch our step. Mink walks out of den following us. I sniff around looking for something interesting. Whats that...Desoto follows the scent of others until he finds himself outside. Its so warm and bright. he smells the grass crazily taking it all in. His Playful side kicks in and he rolls around in the grass. We play outside almost all day until we have to go inside. We walk inside going through all the tunnels to get back to our den. We rest up for a long day of play again.
Trainee yearsI wake up, i get up and yawn. I stretch a bit then peer outside the den The Golden sun is high in the light blue sky. "I'm late!" Desoto squeals, i bolt out of the den trying to find where my fellow trainees are meeting today, my first day and I'm late! I burst into the clearing, i see fresh prints, lots of them, i follow the tracks to everyone, i bump into the one who is training us "Late?" They ask me "Sorry" I whimper then scramble up with the others. "Better not be a regular thing" They say to me with a small shake of the head.
"I was explaining that we are tracking today" they say to us. we follow them into the meadow. We watch him stalk a small rabbit. we watch closely not wanting a second to be missed. he pounces then kills it with a swift bite. He carries it to us. "You guys will all choose a another pup to go with, we will see what you can do" They say "Report back here with your catches, good luck"
All of us scramble together, i found a pup to work with, his name is Lestat, we exchange greetings and set off. We nodded to each other then we trotted quietly seeking all signs of prey.
I lift up my nose to sniff the air "smell that?" I ask him. He nods, i move into a crouch then stalk from where the scent is, I stay light on my paws not wanting to scare the creature. He is mimicking my movements beside me. We burst out of the bushes then we pounce on the rabbit. i lifted it up happily. "lets find another to take back" I say then i follow him so he can track this one. shortly we find a Small plump rabbit, he easily gets it, we together carry them back.
Our trainer nods with approval to see we're the second group back, but even then, the other group only had one rabbit. "Well done pups" he says to us. A lot later the final pair comes back with nothing, they give their sorry then we head back to camp as its getting dark, we caught 6 rabbits today and I'm completely tired out, we eat our share then go back to our den, getting rest for tomorrow as it will be another big day.
Last day of training in hunting...I've done very well the past while for my hunting training, as fun as it was, this didn't feel like my thing.
I can't wait until warrior training.
We all assemble in front of our trainer to hear what he has to say.
"Congratulations everyone, this is your final day of hunting training" He says to us "assemble into a group of three and bring back some larger game" He commanded, i went into the group that I've always been with, we bowled out into the blue grasses, sniffing crazily to find a deer or antlered animal, i turned to Lestat, we caught the same scent at the same time, the other wolf was straggling a bit. We stealthily trotted after the scent without a sound then came across a medium sized elk, we all went side by side then pounced, me on the back, Lestat pounced on the head, Our girl partner pounced on the behind, we took it down then attacked it until its struggles stopped. We panted rapidly as we were all tired out completely, we stood up grabbing the elk then walked back to our trainer. He gave us a grin with his sparkling white teeth. "First back, you are my finest hunters" He told us, but this didn't seem to be my thing, it wasn't what i longed for, i want to be a warrior. I was still a good hunter though.
We thanked him. We cooled down after awhile then waited for everyone to return. "Of coarse you guys got here first" the second returning group said to us. We shrugged then everyone returned. We all passed the hunting training, soon. i might become a solider.
Solider training, Day oneI get up bright and early, not wanting the same experience I had the first day of hunting training. That would be horrible.
But that wouldn't of been as worse than that happening today. I sneak out of the den and trot to the stunning blue fields, I trot around the field warming up for warrior training, I prick my ears forward, I hear a rustling, I stop. I assume it's a rabbit, so a crouch down and stalk, I burst out and pounced on the so called rabbit, but it's not a rabbit, it's a Small Kronador, I howl being a bit frightened, this was not the tasty snack i was seeking. Surprised, I hear more rustling behind me, I look back, a mother Kronador and a fleet of them behind her. I yipe so loud the whole valley cold probably hear me. Then my pack mates burst out after the sound of thundering paws, this was an attack from the Kronadors, I'm still on the small one I tackled. The strongest warriors attack the intruders, the one who was going to train me today stopped in front of me as he was there first "Nice work kid" he said to me "Finnish it off" he commanded then moved back into battle, I stared down at the Kronador. As I was told, I killed it. The battle finished our pack victorious. Not like they could of won without me.
The of who will be training me at sun high walks with me back "What where you doing out here so early?" he asks me with a bit of a concerned look on his face. "I was warming up for my first day of training to be a warrior" I reply "I heard rustling then I pounced" I explained. He nodded "We where lucky that you where there or we may not of won" He told me. "I see a great warrior in you, keep up the great work, Desoto." he told me then waited in camp for everyone to show. I sat by him until everyone came. It was mid afternoon when the last wolf showed up, clearly late. Later than my first day.
Our trainer gave a warning to her, he looked mad, furious even.
"Well before we start our training, I would like to recognize Desoto, if you hadn't heard, he was up early and found
Kronadors invading our territory, she killed one and Lead our pack to them" He told us all, I felt proud from this.
I still can't believe I lead my pack to victory. I think they should get used to it.
My friend Lestat came up to me "Nice job finding them" he told me "Thanks" I say with a smile
Now when all of that cleared up, we where taught how to sharpen our claws on the trees when they are getting dull. We also fought with each other, but I wasn't allowed to inflict real pain, well no body else was allowed to either but one wise pup did.
I hope when i become an apprentice i can help in more battles like this.
We have learned a few other strategies like how to roll a bigger opponent off of us since it might happen for dominance.
I feel like i have much to learn about this new skill but this is for me, its not like on the first day of hunting i found a legendary animal that can now be used for prey or anything.
The next day...I wake up early again, this will become a regular thing in case i can get more praise for stopping attacks.
I go out into our glorious dew covered fields and trot around, mostly excerpting but enemies are at the back of my mind.
The golden sun slowly rises and its just stunning from where I'm sitting, on a high up rock, or an overhang i suppose. Looking down at the color filled plain.
I wonder why no body else ever comes up here.
Maybe I'll find someone to come up here with me some time. Someone special.
I stand up then press my paws into the soft ground, wanting some memory that i was here. I scratch my name into the ground in front of it, this is my spot. It always wil- wait a minute... i see a Kronador print with a name, i growl, cover it with mud then feel satisfied.
That's how a boss does it i thought
Before i get late today i start to trot to where we train, 2nd one there, but the leader didn't mind since i was practically patrolling.
He just told me he never wants me to be here last or late unless there's a real emergency which might happen to me for stopping an attack, i might be wanted by our enemies. But i can take them with a paw behind my back.
Everyone finally got here, we are back to the rolling big opponents off of each other.
I was first up to train, our trainer attacked me, but really easily not trying to hurt me, he sat on me, i tried to not scream out 'Get off me you fat lump!' but i squirmed then rolled him off of me, he told me to come at him. So i did, i i bolted to him pounced onto his back and mauled his scruff, i think i did i pretty good job, but he still has to go agents about 12 other pups, but only about 3 of them, including me where strong, when i was told i was done and what i did well, i sat with the other 2 strong wolves like me.
After every pup went to fight, he recognized us 3 for our good strategy and getting him off the fastest, we all went to our den to rest.
Last Day of warrior Training...I Wake up At mid afternoon, we where told that we would meet a few hours after.
I Stand up, Give a huge yawn then stretch. I trot out of the den to where we will meet for today's final section, but i stop to wait for my other two friends in warrior training. We walk there together. We stand around awhile. No body comes.
My friend Lestat lays down putting there guard down but we don't.
A few wolves spring out of the bushes and attack us. Lestat and i are ready for this, we roll them off of us then attack them, The friend not paying attention was grabbed by the scruff and carried away.
"Where are the rest?" I demand. "Find out yourself weakling!" The wolf spat at me. Then The two wolves disappear, of coarse its a mystery to graduate are warrior training.
I head out with Lestat to find the rest, we follow a very thin scent train. We stay alert the whole time.
More wolves burst out that we need to fight.
Since this time we where prepared we came victorious faster.
Then My trainer comes out "Very good job you two, you are the only ones who lasted this whole round" He praised
"You have passed Warrior training, Tomorrow you are apprentices." Lestat and I are ready to go.
ApprenticingI wake up mid noon, we where aloud to sleep until now today since we will have an action filled afternoon.
I stand up then race out of the den, oh I can't wait to find my armor!
I wish that I could go out and find it today, but I have to wait. I burst through the clearing, deciding I'll hunt first today, I slow my pace to a trot and head to the blue meadows.
I look around then meet up with Lestat "Hey bro" I say to him with a smile "Hi" he greets me.
"Ready for your first day of apprenticing?" I ask him rather excited. "Yep, completely ready" he tells me with the wag of his tail.
"Well lets head back before we're late for the first day" I tell him.
He nodded his agreement then we trot back.
We meet up with our instructor, she just tells us what we do each day and how we will get to the cave of armor when our time comes to seek our armor.
Today it's hunt for the pack.We aren't given much instruction, or any. just come back with fresh prey.
I meet up with Lestat to hunt.As always of coarse.
We head out just us together. We track down something, it smells like some kind of deer.I don't bother to remember the name of the specie.
We stalk and try to find it, then we spot it. A medium deer of some sort.
We rip out of the bushes and attack. We win.
Later we return with two of those deer.
They where proud of us bring home good prey.
They Praise us for bringing back some of the best prey.
Tomorrow is warrior training.
The next day...Today I have issues waking up.
Lestat had to personally come in and prod me until I woke up. "Dude, I'm trying to sle-"
Then I realized I might be late, and he might too for staying back to wake me up on my rare lazy day.
I thought I'd make it interesting so I suggested a race to get there on time.
He agrees and we get ready. Of coarse this isn't going to be a fair race.
I call out "1...2- Go!" I leave out three then bolt off to where we're supposed to meet today.
He really didn't expect me to pull that but he races closely behind me despite my little trick.
We keep racing to where we meet, he stormed passed the group who was walking there.
They pick up on our idea and this was now a "fight to the death". Lestat and I pick up our speed to win this "Battle"
Man these guys are slow. We are at least 3 meters ahead.
Finally it ends Lestat and I are victorious.
We both pant heavily after that race.
Apparently the she-wolf instructing our warrior stuff today was watching us. She approaches us.
"Nice job you two, but get ready more exercise where that came from" she said to us.
She jumped up onto a stump to get higher up for all to see and explained what we where doing today.
She told us to go through all the boundaries and check for any of our lovely rivals, The Kronadors.
She yelled go and Lestat and I trotted out. We started off in the blue meadows of ours to check there first.
When we start we aren't successful. We search the whole plain then head over to the sandier, rockier area of our territory we look through that area. It's almost unnoticeable but Lestat scents a very faint smell of Kronador.
I smell it too through the breeze, we look at each other then follow it. There it is, 2 medium sized Kronadors. A perfect match.
We stalk them. Luckily the wind is on our side and is blowing their scent on us.
Then we attack, we each pounce on one and use our greatest battle strategies on them to kill them.
After a tough battle, we win, only a few scratches on us too.
We each grab a carcass then walk back.
She is very impressed that we each killed one of these beasts.
We receive praise and Recognition front of the pack again.
Nobody else found any of the beasts.
The day I go to seek my armorI get up nice and early on this fine day. The day I might get to find my armor.
I'm going to try hard to volunteer quickly since I want to be the first Apprentice this year to get my armor.
I walk down to see Lestat. Right where we promised each other to meet.I tell them I want to get my armor first.
So he says he will try to go second.
I trot over to the one who sets us apprentices off for our armor.
"Can I please go first to find my armor?" I ask them.
"Since you look like a strong apprentice and the first to ask, yes but you must wait for everyone to get here first" he tells me. So I sit with Lestat and wait for everyone to come.
Finally everyone does.'Took them long enough'
The leader stands up tall his fluffy chest puffing out "We have a volunteer to go first!" He announces "That would be Desoto!" he calls me up, I try to look as strong as possible when I walk up puffing out my chest, flexing muscles and everything. Infront of everyone.
I hope I look strong.
"Pyres, we all wish you luck On your journey to find your armor" He tells me 'Like i need luck' He thought. He gestures for me to start my journey.
I walk out with my head high. This should be a snap since I learned about how to get to my destination yesterday.
They tell me it's a long journey so I walk with a strong jump in my step.
But I decide if there are any emergencies I should conserve some of my energy.
I continue on my quest...
Sun downThe sun drops down on the horizon and I feel so close to the cave.
My chest tell me I'm so close, i can feel it.
The idea of finding a set of perfect armor keeps me going with only a water break or two.
I see it. A landmark that we where told about, a large willow tree with two trunks that twist around each other.
Then I see it, the large cave has writing on the top that is so worn out I can't read it.
It has a large mouth with plants surrounding the rocks.
My mouth drops open in astonishment. It's a stunning view. I close my mouth, not wanting to catch bugs at this time then walk inside with a smile on my face. I'm breathless, it's just so beautiful. I walk deep into the cave. Then I see the different kinds of armor. A light yellow set or armor leaves me breathless. This armor calls my name. Literally i heard it say Desoto.I approach it then I put on the Handsome armor. When my warm soft fur touches the armor it flashes white.
Then it sets to a very light yellow. It changes color, I think in heat the metal turns white. This armor is for me and always will be. I walk out of the cave feeling like a real wolf now.
Man i can't wait to show Lestat.
NightI stalk out of the cave getting used to my new armor, I better. I'll be wearing this piece of work forever now.
I walk on the trail back to camp. It's so dark and cold but my armor holds in some of my warmth, but not much so i jog slowly to warm me up.
This armor is saving my life already, i smirk thinking about it. I trek out watching the ground so I don't trip over anything, again.
I believe I'm half way back when I see a Kronadors tracks, only one though, but it seems sizable so I may have to fight, well not have to but i could use my first fight. I follow these tracks, I stop as I smell it's awful Oder I peer out to see one alone just walking around.
I stalk it for awhile then make my move.
I attack ripping at its flesh. It was surprised by my attack It gave a strange noise which much of been a call for help.
It tries to return the blow but I am prepared and jump back so it lands awkwardly. I lunge for its throat but i aim too high and bite down on its muzzle, it bellows another squeal then I grasp it's throat in my jaws. I suffocate it with my powerful jaws for awhile then it goes limp, I lay it down in the middle of the path then write "Desoto's kill" Underneath it.
I continue my journey back feeling like a real WOI.
I'm still alert for more tracks and sneak attacks. But man they are fun to fight those ugly things.
I trek through the night then watch the sun peek over the horizon.
MorningAfter a long night of trekking, fighting and of coarse getting used to my brand new armor.
I make it home. I hear wolves cheering my name when I enter camp.
Everyone's celebrating my return and preparing for my best friend to start his journey. 'Oh i can't wait to see his armor'
I sprint to him with a huge satisfied grin on my face "I made it!" I exclaim to him, my shining white armor with highlights of yellow sparkle in the sunlight. "Wow your armor is amazing" Lestat tells me.
"Good luck man, choose something nice" I tell him then laugh. He is spoken to by the one who prepares us for this journey.
I watch my best friend left and disappear into the distance, I'll really miss him but he would have to leave sooner or later. I sigh and watch him leave until I can't see him at all. 'the next night will be boring without him around' i think sadly
I sigh then go off to tell about my journey. I might as well ask for the whole group who wants to hear it since im getting sick of telling them one by one.
I tell them how I was on my way back then I tracked a Kronador and killed it.
They seemed impressed enough.
One day laterI wake up really early then sprint out of the den, I wait at the opening of our camp for Lestat to return.
It seems like forever but around afternoon he returns with handsome armor it's just dazzling. I wag my tail rapidly then I sprint over to him then tackle hug him playfully, it hurt since we where both wearing armor that we still weren't completely used to yet "Grr that hurt" I say "It hurts the receiver of the tackle more" he said winded.
I stood up then backed up so he could get up, me sitting on him with heavy armor must of hurt. But I pricked my paw a bit on his armor so I guess where even.
We head out for a walk. He tells me all about his journey.
"Did you see the dead Kronador with my name in front of it?" I ask him. "Oh that was you?" he said, my name must of washed off in the rain or something. "Yup, all me" I tell him then we walk back to the dens to rest, we relax and each day we watch each pack member return.
But one never did. We had a huge search but he couldn't be found, so sadly we lost a member of our pack that night.
In the morning her parents came out and we all mourned for the lost wolf.
Last day of apprenticingOk, so here's what we do on our last day of apprenticing.
We have a battle tournament with all of the wolves we have been training with.
I honestly think my only worthy match will be Lestat but who knows the others may be strong like us as well.
I still get prepared with Lestat in case this will be a difficult match.
My armor is shining white with small touches of yellow. A warm day it tells me.
We do our warm ups, stretch then head to our so called "Battle Arena" we look at it.
It's a pile of logs in the shape of a huge square. I sit and stare at it 'Impressive' I think sarcastically.
The leader of this event jumps up onto the log. He calls out
"Our toughest fighters are Lestat and Desoto! Expect a fight from them!"
I roll my eyes, well that's nice to single out two wolves from our group. Ok to it is true But i do feel proud being called out and all.
He explains that we will be out fighting with 3 wolves that will be our challenge today. 'Easy enough' i think to myself. These will be our final fights of being apprenticing.
The first two that I'm paired up with, I have no clue who they are. Not the slightest idea.
My last opponent is Lestat. We are the so called "Grand finale"
'So be it' I think to myself.
I get to battle first with what's-his-face. I didn't bother to remember his name. I jump into the arena ready for the first battle.
We are reminded not to potentially hurt or attempting to kill each other. 'Well dang' i think and laugh to myself.
He howls which is our starting cue. I bolt forward and slam into him full on with my armor.
He falls backwards. I stumble backwards with the recoil.
He lays there with a shocked face. The leader calls out 3-2-1 then claims me the winner.
I shrug off my small pains from the slam and check my armor for dents, wouldn't want that would we? Lestat comes up to me "Nice job Man" he tells me with a smile
"Thanks" I reply. It was a pretty sick first move, and only move.
The battles go on. Lestat one his first now He won easily. I'm up again, no clue who I'm fighting once again.
I get into the square with whoever this girl is. The leader howls and I'm at work again.
Feeling considerably better I pounce on her pinning her to the ground.
She squirms and tries to get me off. I stay and she snaps at my paws.
On the second call she rolls me off then attempts an attack, she clawed my chest plate.
' Oh no she didn't' I growl then attack again.
And yes. I sat on her.
He calls 3-2-1 and I'm victorious again.
Lestat approaches again. "Did you just sit on her?" he laughed.
"Yup, she scratched my chest plate" I smile i was looking for crafty ideas, but i did know that i would get several more from later on battles.
The battles go on and on with the others. Lestat wins his second one too.
It's my battle with Lestat. We walk into the ring calmly, this will be a great match and since we know each others moves so well from training it will be interesting to us and the crowd or other apprentices.
He howls then we pounce at the same time which slams up both back.
We both Circle each other thinking of the next attack to use.
I run directly into him in an attempt to knock him over, but we both kinda fell over on top of each other.
We laughed then continued.
On and on we avoided and got hit often but neither backed down.
We pounce at the same time again. We collide together leaving a clash that echos through the valley.
We are completely tired, we fall onto our backs panting hard.
We stay like this.
Finally the leader says that we are the same strengths.
But he still only visits me after to congratulate.
He told me that I still had lots of energy to waste in battle.
He could tell. He assumed that I didn't want to beat my friend.
'Ok?' I thought then I walked back alone for once to rest.
My rank is being chosen today!I wake up bright and early, i have a huge smile on my face, my rank is being chosen today.
I'm thrilled about this, I've been waiting since i was a pup. i trot to the river, then dive in washing off my fur, getting ready.
I shake my soaking fur then walk back to camp trying not to get it dirty.
I'm called over with everyone else.
I wait for awhile then 5th, my name is called by Nauti.
"Congratulations Desoto, your a candidate to become an...amazing member in our pack." They say leaving me hanging
"Now what you have been waiting for, your rank is..."
Yes, I'm leaving you guys like that, if i really get successful, later on you will know me better and see what rank Nauti appoints me.
Until then, your friend Desoto~
My retired daysWh-what are you talking about? I'll never be retired never!
Desoto never wants to retire, even when he gets old (in a long time) he still plans on finding an adventure in the small things he does everyday, never to give up.
Sure they won't be as great as stopping invasions, but something.
