The air is heavy as you make your way through unknown territory, as you pause to sniff the air a drop of rain falls onto your nose. It is soon followed by another and another and soon the rain is pelting down in sheets, soaking you to the bone. The clouds are an angry purple and the menacing drumming of thunder rolls over the sky. Squinting your eyes against the blinding water you find yourself at the edge of a large, dark pine forest. You are too desperate for shelter to notice the scents that mark the border and plunge in, and nearly into the chilly stream that runs through the territory. You veer away and as you are shaking the water out of your fur you notice a large pair of icy blue shards gazing at you. The storm has passed now and beams of sunlight filter through the thick canopy of pines, illuminating a massive male wolf not three feet away from where you stand.

His pelt looks like a bad patchwork job of black and white and beneath them you see large, hard bands of steely muscle and you know this is a warrior for his torso is marred with many battle scars. His banner curls over his back and his lips are drawn, exposing sharp ivory daggers. When he speaks his voice is deep and dominant, like the thunder you so recently heard.

"Wolf, you have found yourself in the terra of the Andere Seite Pack. I am Eclipse, king of this land."

It is only then that you notice another pair of lanterns gleaming in the penumbra and a dark-pelted fae slinks out into the clearing to stand next to the king, her own banner waves and her green and blue eyes bore into you. She is the same size as most males and a crisscrossing pattern of scars show that she too can take care of herself. Her voice is cold and has a snake-like sound to it yet you can see they are both fair rulers.

"And I am Nephthys, queen of Andere. We don’t care much for strangers so you must make your choice, Submit to us now or flee our lands and never return. If you fail to do either you will have little time left to regret it."

The formidable pair pierces you with their gaze and you feel as if all your secrets spill out before them. You are left with a decision now. Will you submit and take refuge in this dark forest or will you flee and never know what secrets these trees hide? Make haste, you can see that the pair grow tired of waiting.

heart is aching, barely breathing
IP: 75.89.18.119

I make my way to the call, hesitation in every step. Where is Plague and Kimani? What has happened. I feel like a hermit, having not left my den much for the past few months. I thought it would get easier, I thought over time my heart would start to heal but it seems like it’s not to be. My once pure white coat is an off white now, more yellowed from lack of cleaning. My slender muzzle is the only porcelain thing about me. My golden eyes are dull where they were once bright and ribs are just starting to poke through my thick arctic fur. I make my way toward the clearing, nostrils inhaling the new male’s scent. He must be the new alpha. I remember hearing his call for a challenge not too long ago and now that I smell it again and he’s calling, that must mean he is the new alpha. I am still not too sure about this but then I haven’t been too sure of anything lately.

My heart still feels fragile, like there’s a hole that needs to be filled. I still have nightmares of wolves with fangs showing and lots of saliva pouring down then there’s blood and snarling, always the hideous snarls I remember from Hunter. Hunter was my soul mate, or so I had thought. We grew up in the same pack together as pups, always running around together talking about how we were going to raise pups some day of our own. We became official mates not long after adulthood and settled into our new life, excited for what was to come. We were trying to get a litter when he got bit by a raccoon that drooled and attacked everything in site. Hunter managed to kill it before it bit any of the other pack wolves but soon after he got sick and soon came down with the same symptoms. Next thing I knew, he woke me trying to attack me, snapping his jaws as he drooled. His eyes were blood shot and I could tell he wasn’t all there so I instinctively picked up a rock in my teeth and slung it at him, yelling at him to stop and think but instead the rock coincidentally hit him between the eyes and killed him on the spot.

I cried for weeks after and knew that I had to get away from the pack. So I traveled to Blossom and found Andere. I met Phonix, the handsome gray male while out hunting and we hit it off. We hung out as friends for months till finally he got up the guts to ask me to be his mate. I was elated, thinking that finally I’d get away from the nightmares and thoughts of Hunter. Then I woke up one morning to find him gone. I searched and searched and came up empty. Then one day he appeared out of the blue and it was the sweetest reunion ever. We stayed together all day and curled up together that night, but when I woke up the next day, he was missing once more without a trace. I searched again but the trail ended at the river. To this day, I wonder if that reunion was just a dream on my part. What if he never really came back? MY heart was busted and torn and I retreated to my den, hardly venturing out except to hunt and occasionally try for conversation with other wolves, but I usually failed in that.

Finally I near the clearing and see a male wolf there, the one I’ve been smelling, with a strange female. She doesn’t smell of Andere yet I can tell by the way her and the male are talking that she must have just been accepted into the pack. I try to force a smile but only end up tugging my lips into a fragile smile. My golden eyes find the male’s as I bow my head in respect. My ears flatten in respect as I speak in barely over a whisper. Hello, I am Misty. You must be the new alpha. My eyes then find a new female that has just walked up and introduced herself as Kota. I give her a small fragile smile as well, hoping that I don’t seem mean. Frankly, I probably look half dead. I still feel half dead too.
