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.

 He was beautiful. Like an angel sent down from the skies above- drafting light into the faerie’s dead optics as if they had never been emptied of their filling. It was indeed him who she had been searching for… she knew it the moment she opened her sages to look at the knight as he strode towards her. His luminaries were wide and the angel managed to crack a small, painful, cracking smile flew in his direction. Clover… how strange… a clover was a grass- more commonly referred to as a weed. Something that resembled a nuisance. Was that what she was? Who she was? Beginnings of thought started up and the nerves began to pulse with effort. But they were shut down. Tomorrow was a better day to try remembering. Of course… not all clovers were bad… four-leaf ones were considered lucky. Was she… lucky? Was happiness a part of her being? Lobes pricked forth and limbs attempted to rise at the sound of his voice, but to no avail. It was painful to not rise for him. She was not moving for at least another hour or so. Too much effort had been exerted on her trip here. Thankfully, the kind soul who had given the fae the meat of another varg had done so. Otherwise, it is probably likely that she would be dying under the watchful gaze of those monstrous rocks. Clover however was determined to rise for her soldier. The one who had pulled her back from her endless dream with just a mere thought process. Who was he? What was he to her? At once, she unfurled her front pillars and attempted to stand by pushing up her hind legs. This sent her back to the earth and she bit her lip, trying again the opposite direction, hinds first, and then fronts. Didn’t work either. Again with the front, jumping up more quickly this time, she swayed, nearly dropping back to the ground yet again. But she managed to stay still. Standing. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she could not keep her limbs from wobbling in a strenuous way. Because of this, she could not move. She held her breath, and prayed that he would come closer so that she could speak. This knight would not be able to hear her should he not tread the distance between the two of them. Her claws dug into the soft terra firma, attempting to keep the balance she’d gained with her determination. Muddied and exhausted, it was obvious that her ability to stand, walk, run, and even move in any way possible was difficult. Regardless, Clover lifted her creamy dial and stretched her nape in his direction, yearning to be reunited with this strange creature whose name was no longer known to her. Clover picked up on the subtle idea that maybe her title was that of the Clover. Yes, yes- that must be it! He had not been insulting her… rather- sending a motion of grace in her direction as he was an acquaintance. The male from her “visions” an acquaintace? No… she figured that it was much stronger than that- the bond between the two. It was love- not in the way that couples gaze at each other did her eyes tremble for his. It was in kinship. Blood relation, deep down she knew that this was not it, but it felt close enough to be considered as such. That bond was invisible… but it was strong enough to the point that it could be seen should a very attentive soul look close enough. And the magnetic force was tugging strongly now. Wobbling yet again, it became clear in her startlingly bleached sages that she wished she could do better. Kissers parted in reply to his own words which had passed not moments before, believe it or not. The soft whisper of her quiet voice infiltrated the clearing, breathing hard enough to the point that she was barely audible through those whispers. I finally found you… she breathed through rasps.
