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  |
_________________________________________________________________________ The red female thought that she was adjusting to pack life pretty well. It was good for her that Halina was not part of a pack that was too involved or nosy about each other’s business. That would have made the transition much harder. Ygritte still thought the idea of ranks was silly and unnecessary, besides the rank of alpha perhaps. Where she had come from the clans of wolves always had a leader that was chosen by the group, but that was it. There was no beta or anything else. She didn’t even remember what the other ranks were if she was honest, and she didn’t care to learn them. But it seemed to be something that Halina cared about, so Ygritte continued to accompany her to pack meetings and the like. It wasn’t bad as long as she was within close proximity to her lover. The femme would do just about anything as long as the raven colored warrior was with her. And now the two females were running through the trees together, and Ygritte could not be happier. She grew bored when she sat around for too long. She was used to constant travel and adventure, and living in one den and one pack in one area could grow boring to her, but that was something she had sacrificed to be with her love. But now with the wind going through her pelt and her muscles working once more, she felt alive again. Halina knew that Ygritte could get stir crazy, and so the pair often went out to have time together and get away from the younger beings that now lived nearby. But the thought of sparing and training was exciting, and she was looking forward to it. The duo slowed at Halina’s pace, when she had come to the area that she decided would be best for the training session. The red female rubbed her pelt affectionately along the darker female’s, purring with anticipation. Ygritte’s blue-grey eyes looked around, examining the area where soon wolves would be battling, even if it was not for real. Halina had picked a good spot. It would not be too easy on those that decided to come. That was what Ygritte did like about Abendrot, was that none were babied here, not even the pups. Noone would get an advantage of easy footing or lighting here with the uneven terrain and rocks. The many trees and brush around them blocked out the light in some areas and they would have to adjust to the uneven light and terrain while watching an opponent and defending themselves. It would make things more fun this way too. A smile crossed her kissers as Halina lifted her maw to call to the other wolves in the pack. Her mate nuzzled against her as the pair waited to see who else would show up to the beta’s call. ________________________________________________________________________ |
