During the day, sentries guard the sleeping. When the sky is dark and the moon dances with the stars, this is when the real fun begins. Munashii Gekko's forest is the only haunt where you can find your local misfits all in one place. A land of the forbidden and forgotten, a place that is riddled with dangers of a whole different kind. The wolves here have long misplaced their rightful minds, and now live like creatures damned to prowl and lurk through the night. It's easy to lose yourself here, sanity was sure to fade away and wither; there was never anything normal about this nefarious nest. The silent threats that whispered in the breeze were enough to deter even the largest of demons around. It was not strength nor wit that ensured your survival here with Eric, and challengers would be torn down with a morose lethality - there was nothing left in his cold blue eyes that promised mercy to anyone who dared to overstep their worth. So, would you give up the sun for the moon and stars? Do you have enough vigor to become a well regarded sentry? - Put on a game face to step up and pass the sepia king's test or turn and leave before he catches your scent. You never know who wants to snack on your delicious blood in this forest.

_________________________________________________________________________ Life had recently taken some unexpected turns for the brute, and he was still trying to process the changes that had occurred in his life. After he had lost his family when he was a pup he had promised himself he would not grow attached to another in the same way and that he would rely on none but himself. Since he had been so small and on his own many vargs, females especially, had come to him trying to take care of him. While he understood that they were just trying to be nice and take in a helpless pup, that was not what he wanted. He was no longer innocent and naïve but knew the true horrors of the real world and would not let himself be babied into believing he was safe again. Lupin now knew that no one was ever truly safe, no matter how calm things may seem. What Lupin had not expected to happen was for him to grow to trust another. The male remembered his initial reaction to yet another female approaching him. He was ready to flee back into the trees to avoid dealing with her, but there was something she had said that made him stop and listen. She was not offering to be his mother as it was clear that was not what he wanted, but to be a mentor. As independent as he was he could not lie to himself and say that he knew how to be a proper wolf. He did not know how to hunt properly or how to defend himself or fight another should that need arise. This female, who was scarred in a similar fashion as he was, was offering just that. But she also told him that she would not coddle him and he would have to work for what he wanted. That was the appealing part to him. Halina did not become a mother to him, but she was the closest thing to another mother he would have. She did not make him do anything he didn’t want to do, but instead let him have his odd quirks. She let him sleep outside of a den, often during the day, but that did not excuse him from their training activities. The brute gained more from her than he had ever thought that he would. Lupin did not realize that he had grown used to Halina’s company and had become attached to the femme until she was gone. He sensed a change going on with her and her mate, Ygritte. Ygritte was not a pack wolf, but had tried going to Abendrot for her mate, but it was clear she was not happy. Halina couldn’t see her mate unhappy because of her, so the two decided to leave together and try Ygritte’s way of life. Halina said goodbye to Lupin, and then that was it. He was not alone entirely, he still had Abendrot, but he felt alone. He then realized that Abendrot had not become his home, but that it was Halina that had made it home. And now that she was gone he didn’t want to be there anymore. After finishing a pack hunt with the alpha and another varg, Lupin decided it was time to go. He said no goodbyes to anyone, but just walked out of the packlands with no intention to cross that border again. Lupin’s laky form wandered through the forest. He was definitely better off after spending his growing years with Halina, but he still didn’t feel whole. Even though he lost his family and did not want to rely on others, he was lonely. The brute met strangers here and there, but no one stuck out to him as Halina had and he continued to move about his business. The sound of a howl caught the brute’s attention one day though, and he paused his aimless wanderings. His ears perked, listening to the sound. It was an alpha calling for members. Lupin’s initial reaction was to keep moving, but something held him in place, debating about this pack. He knew nothing about it, and it knew nothing about him. It could be the chance to start over fresh, with no one knowing his past. And so without letting his thoughts wander anymore, the brute changed course and headed in the direction of the call. There was evidence of a pack, but it seemed as if it was no longer inhabited with wolves. There was no clear border and there were no scents to mark it. But Halina had taught him well and he knew that this was where the call had come from, so he continued forward. After some wandering, Lupin caught the scent of a wolf. He followed it, assuming it must belong to the wolf who had called or another answering that call. When he caught sight of the wolf he saw that he was not the only one who had answered. There was a smaller white female, and a larger brute. Lupin was not intimidated by this, and the scarred brute stepped forward, unsure of what he was supposed to do. ”Umm…hello.” The lanky brute shuffled from paw to paw, unsure of what to do, waiting to see what they would say.
