The forest stands tall and lush here; ancient trees reach weather-twisted arms to the sky, fighting monster-like storm clouds back with their interlacing fingers. Shadow seems to lurk everywhere you look, but it spills calmly, coolly, inspiring a sense of stealthy calm or protection rather than unease. That is, if you've forgotten what kind of creature might be stalking just out of sight...Abendrot is a land cradled by the dark woods on all sides; in the center, some of the larger trees stay behind to reveal a small plateau - a citadel where this pack can gather and defend itself from invaders. There are, of course, softer sides to the land. Clearings here and there allow the sun to throw down its rays in incongruously resplendent gold showers. Ignore the lingering scents of blood spattered here and there along the borders: those do not concern you. The river on one edge of the territory is playful enough when it hasn't been gorged by violent rain. You can choose to note the ragged claw marks raked down tree trunks and the forest floor as friendly "Home Sweet Home" signs, if you wish.
All who treasure loyalty, order, victory, and the occasional indulgence of raw visceral pleasure are welcome, once they've been approved by the ever-watchful eyes of Abendrot's Alpha. But keep one thing in mind: no matter what your motive, this is not a fool's Paradise. This is the land of soldiers, assassins, and spies. This is ABENDROT.
Make up your mind quickly and prepare to prove your worth. You wouldn't want to add to those blood spatters, would you...?

You’re Mine as I’m Yours  |
_________________________________________________________________________ For the first time since she could remember, Ygritte slept happily through the night. It was not that she relied on others to sleep well, it was just that she had never slept in a den as comfortably as she was now. Even though she had not known Halina long, she already trusted the other female more than anyone she had ever encountered before. Maybe it was because their interactions had been so intimate and real and raw. There was no faking the attraction that the two had for each other, you could not fake the passion that the two had shared the night before. Ygritte knew that she never would have gotten there if she did not trust Halina enough to actually follow her to her den. In the past she had always taken care of business outside of dens and homes. That made things too complicated and messy. But somehow she knew it would be different with this darker colored femme. As she awoke from a deep and peaceful sleep, she knew she could not continue to let Halina sleep. She needed to touch and taste her again. To hear those sweet vocals flow from her lover’s mouth. Halina began to stir from her slumber as Ygritte snaked her tongue out to wake her. A happy purr escaped her throat when she saw that the midnight colored female was awake. The two enjoyed the company of each other’s warmth before the russet female began a new conversation between the two. She saw Halina roll her blue orbs at her, and Ygritte playfully nipped at her, as she waited to see how she would interpret her open ended question. She listened carefully as Halina at first joked around before getting down to more serious conversation. With the way that she spoke this Draven’s name she knew that he was bad news, and a growl escaped from her throat as if she already knew this male. Halina went into more detail about her puphood than the last time that they spoke, and Ygritte’s blue-grey orbs watched her carefully, taking in every word so she could know as much about her lover as possible. The other female did not get sad or upset about her past, she was a strong warrior that knew how to take care of herself. She chuckled and stretched out before turning back to the russet female, changing the conversation to her again, “And I've been in paradise ever since. And you? Where have been, what have you done, who have you done?" Ygritte laughed at the last question, knowing that Halina was teasing but reaching over to lick at her neck anyways. ”The only one that I’ve done that matters is you.” She shifted her bodice in the den, getting into a more comfortable position before sharing her own past. ”I am sorry you were treated that way, though I know it has made you the strong warrior you are now. And those scars do look so pretty on you.” She winked at her lover, knowing she would understand that she was indeed being truthful and not mocking her in anyway. ”I was not born into a pack as most were. The wolves I lived and traveled with had no alpha or leader dynamic. We were all free to come and go as we pleased. Spend our time with anyone that we felt like. There was no one that we had to report to. If there were any issues it was settled between those involved, and everyone minded their own business. Some took mates, while others, myself included until now, enjoyed the bachelor life. It was easy to find others with your own taste, there were so many of us running around that no one ever felt alone. There were no rules as there are here, and it worked. Everyone was happy. I told myself I would stay there, have pups of my own if I were to find a male I could stomach enough to help me, but then things changed. And I found you. I suppose I will have to adjust. Who knows, I may even get kicked out of this pack.” Ygritte chuckled at the last words, knowing that she was going to try to adjust to a life with pack dynamics and rules, but it would be weird and different for her. ________________________________________________________________________ |
