aurora borealis- noun plural: An aurora that occurs in northern regions of the earth. Also called northern lights.
In the middle of a dense forest of coniferous trees lies the Aurora Borealis pack, its name coming from its location. At certain times of the year, the northern lights appear, dancing almost magically in the sky. A narrow trail leads you through the close evergreens. Giving into temptation, you begin moving your paws. By venturing into this territory, you are venturing into a land belonging to a pair of feared leaders. You have heard rumors of them...but you decide to take your chances and hope that the tales of blood and death are merely fabricated stories to scare wolves.
You have walked nearly five minutes before you realize the sound of paws stepping somewhere from behind. Deciding that you've made a mistake, you quickly turn around, but find that you cannot go any further. Standing before you is one of the mighty kings you've heard of. His blood red pelt clings over perfectly toned bands of muscle. But that isn't what causes such fear in your veins. One of his amber eyes has a horrid, bleeding scar across it, and his good eye seems to stare right through you. His face is expressionless, giving off none of his intentions. You cower away as his jaws part.
"I'm Hell Demon."
His voice was deep and cut through the air like a hot knife through butter. Right where he left off, another voice picks up from behind you. You whirl around and find yourself facing another male with steely muscles beneath his pelt, which seems to consist of every shade of brown. He had startled you, and you're amazed how you hadn't at all detected his approach.
"And I am Ghost...we're the alphas of Aurora Borealis."
His deep voice was laced thickly with a Native American accent. His own golden eyes are directing a harsh glare your way. Now you're caught in the middle...your breathing has become heavy in your panic and you're not sure which to face.
"You've foolishly trespassed into our territory. You face the one called Hell Demon's whose voice is once more addressing you. Get out, or become a corpse along our border."
It's obvious they mean business. So now it's up to you...take your chances and stay, or heed their warning and waste no time getting out with your life.

Some are born great Some achieve greatness __________________________________________ Vladimir had bristled as Kael had haphazardly crossed the boundary in order to rub affectionately against Seraphina… and the fact that Seraphina did not flinch away from him or resist the caress only proved to anger the young Prince even more. His hackles raised visibly, and though he managed to rein in himself enough so as not to growl or bear his teeth, it was bad enough to do what he did. What right did he have to care about who Seraphina was friends with. ‘I am glad to see you again, Seraphina. I always hoped that we would meet again.’ Visions of the past flashed across Vladimir’s sight – images of Seraphina and Kael playing together as pups, growing up together, tustling as young vargs… and the fact that Seraphina had actually grown up for the most part in Aurora Borealis didn’t mean much to Vladimir. But before Vladimir could explode in a fit of incredulity, Aindreas had shown up and had taken full control of the situation, despite Vladimir’s complaints. Vladimir stared wide eyed as Kael nodded to Aindreas and spoke respectively to him. ‘Hello Aindreas, it is nice to meet you. My name is Kael, Prince of a pack far away from here.’ Soon after, Seraphina’s parents introduced themselves, quite more pleasantly than they had introduced themselves to Vladimir. They even smiled and dipped their heads to Aindreas, and the young prince could not help but hate his brother in that moment. Vladimir shook his head as the ridiculous scene continued as Aindreas invited them to stay a while and rest, and then invited them all on a tour of the lands. Not to anyone’s surprise, Kael had been the first to agree to it – ‘A tour would be great, as long as Seraphina would be willing to join us?’ Vladimir shook his head ‘no’, to signal that he and Seraphina would be leaving the group, but Aindreas ignored him, and returned Kael’s smile with one of his own, albeit it a small one. Vladimir stood agape, confused and hurt by so many things that his head hurt. Of course, Vladimir’s main pain came from what he perceived as Seraphina’s betrayal. She had hid information from him, and even though it had not been intentional, Vladimir had been taken unawares. Vladimir did not deal well with change, nor did he deal well with uncomfortable situations. It had been different when it had been just him and Seraphina… because at the time he had trusted her implicitly. The discomfort they had come to know in the depths of the cavern had not bothered him, because they were in it together. And perhaps if he had found out about all of this later when it was just the pair of them he would have been able to deal with it better… but now Vladimir felt as if their relationship was strained. He was hurt and didn’t know why he still cared, since she so clearly didn’t. The rest of Vladimir’s pain came from the fact that he was hearing about his father and mother leaving from Aindreas. The fact that Aindreas was estranged from their father was not lost of Vladimir… and yet Aindreas had been told about it before Vladimir or Castiel had. The fact that Aindreas was going to be taking over the pack did not cross Vladimir’s mind… instead he was unfortunately jealous about it. He had of course thought about the fact that his parents may be leaving… he had even mentioned that possibility to Seraphina. But now the fact that it was true… that it was actually going to happen made his heart drop. There were now so many uncertainties – where would Vladimir and Castiel live? What would happen to Aurora Borealis other than be put under the leadership of Aindreas? Vladimir almost didn’t want to join the apparent lovebirds on the tour, but the strings of his heart prevented him from leaving, even when Kael moved to Seraphina’s side and the ess began to talk to him. She was asking him what he had been up to and Vladimir almost dry-heaved. Why did she want to know? He felt butterflies flying around in his stomach… did she like him more than she liked him? Would she choose to leave with him? Did she even care about him? Vladimir scuffed his paw against the ground and dragged it around in a circle, waiting impatiently for their conversation to end. Once it had, Aindreas once again took control of the situation. “Conan, Mireille, I hope you find the dens to your liking. If you need anything, you need only call for me. Kael, why don’t you follow me. We will go south first to the lake first – it is beautiful, and if nothing else will allot time for these two to make themselves more presentable.” Vladimir rolled his eyes and scoffed but said nothing to the contrary, skulking, he followed his brother without a word, glaring at Kael all the while. __________________________________________ Some have greatness thrust upon them ~ Vladimir ~ Brother to Castiel ~ Kalgalath x Sebring ~ Heir of Aurora Borealis ~ Azura ~ |
