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 __________________________________________ Although they had held strong to the names for their first two pups, they had eventually settled on a different name for the third. The name Cassius brought too many painful memories back for the pair - it reminded them of Castiel, their missing partner in crime, and often it had hurt too much to say the name. Of course, that had been the precise reason that they had settled on that name - to honor Vlad’s brother, but they both missed him too much to stick to it. And so, instead, they had settled upon the name Asmund. It was a good strong name for their first born son, but better than that, it did not bring up any harsh or painful memories of his brother. Speaking of Castiel... How long had it been since he, Vladimir, had last seen his twin? Months at least, but it felt like a lot longer. They had been inseparable for the longest time, but when their farther had announced his departure, Castiel had chosen to leave as well. That had upset Vlad to no end. But to be truthful, he understood it - he had not wished to be separated from his parents either, and really it had only been Seraphina that had kept him from chasing after them. What hurt was that Castiel had left without so much as a goodbye, or any discussion. Part of Vladimir had always assumed that Castiel would at least visit, but there have been nothing. No word, no sight of him. It was depressing, but at least he knew that his brother was happy, living with his parents. The pain of his absence grew less with each day, and it greatly helped that Vlad was being kept busy with three pups of his own, and his loving material to llama home . Speaking of… He jolted awake when something suddenly moved against his head. “I’m awake! I’m awake!” And he was, only not fully conscious. His lids fluttered and he rolled his eyes down out of his head and looked around, but all of the pups were still sleeping. Still disoriented from his slumber, he could not figure out what was going on. He kept counting his pups silently to himself, his head nodding along. “One, two, three. One, two, three. Ziva, Qiturah, Asmund...” Until finally, his mate took pity on him and kissed him on the cheek. Relief and realization swept over him, and a lazy smile flickered over his lips as his neck turned up to see her, meeting to return the nuzzle and caress, but she had already left him, had already left the cave. Slowly, he was waking up more and more. He looked back to the pups that he had already counted 500 times, and very carefully extricated his limbs from around them. In response, they had sprawled out. Vlad shook his head and smiled - they were growing so big, bigger every day, and it would not be long before they were likely going to be looking for their own den, once they were more teenager than puppy. Vladimir would certainly miss having them most of the time, but it would also be extremely pleasant to have more peace and quiet time with his mate, without having to worry about being interrupted by the pups. At any rate, for now, it seems that they would have some much needed alone time. He crept out of the cave, and walked right into a splash of water in his face. He shook his head and blinked rapidly, rearing his neck back as he shook off the droplets that’s were dripping off of his nose. His brows raised in surprise, and he quickly scowled at his mate where she stood in the water. “You want to play rough, huh?” He spoke with a low growl, and tore off across the beach toward her, his frown quickly turning into a little chuckling grin. He met her in the lake, not bothering to test the temperature of the waters before he left in. He was ambitious and headstrong, and did not often think about consequences before he acted. Not that this was a life or death situation, but still. The chill of the water was refreshing anyway, now that the first hot rays of the summer sun had broken across the horizon. His body crashed through the gentle lapping waves of the shore and toward her. He was taller than her, wider too, and he tried to tackle her in the water. But as rough as he was with the play, he would make sure that her head did not go under the water - if it was about to, he would pull back on his attack and reach for her scruff to pull her up. If he missed tackling her, he’d instead end up on the other side of her in the deeper waters and he would use his tail to smack the surface of the water, hoping to spray her as she had sprayed him. ‘I really do love you, you know that? I love you with every fiber of my being.’ Vladimir stopped - they were very affectionate with each other, mirroring the way that he had always seen his parents when they had been together. But he and Sera were also always extremely playful, especially due to their young age still. But the serious tone in her voice stopped him in his tracks. “I do know that, and I love you even more. I had this love inside of my heart that was meant for you and only you, and that was before I even changed into a Tempest. Since my change, since magic infiltrated my system, that love has only been augmented, and I cannot imagine living one day without you. I cannot imagine a future that does not involve you or our pups. And because our pups are a part of you, were carried by you, the love for you extends to them as well.” He walked over to her, and gently nuzzled against her nape. He did not need to tap into his inner power in order to see her aura - full of love, caring, sweetness. When first he had gotten his new power, he had tapped into it nearly any time he was around her... but in truth he knew her well enough to be able to read her without it, especially with his new and improved precise vision. “If ever there was anything I could do to further your happiness, to bring you greater joy, all you would ever need to do was ask. I would do everything in my power to get it for you or accomplish it. I would do anything for you.” He placed a gentle kiss on her ear before tugging on it gently. “I do have a question to ask of you - you know well that Scamander is my rainbow, that he is my responsibility. But he is also an orphan, stolen from his homeland by a vicious monster who likely killed or kidnapped his parents. He has the other Arcus Irae, yes, but other than that he has no family. He needs a mother, and father. What do you think about adopting him, raising him with our own? Their age is not so different, and we are already providing shelter and food for him. But perhaps it would bring him comfort to have parents as well.” He paused, waiting for her answer. He would not push the issue, and even if Sera accepted, who was to say that Scamander would even want it? For Vladimir did not, had not, breached the subject with the vibrant puppy yet, not before he talked to his mate. But it seemed right - and at least then, he could have someone who could touch him in comfort, even if it was not Vladimir himself. After she had responded, he would nuzzle against her one more time, and then throw his all of his weight against her, hoping to turn her over and push her into the water again. Laughing, he reached for her. “Now that we are even and have gotten that over with, the pups are still asleep, we have some time to ourselves. Care for a romp through the pack? I think we are well overdue for an exploration, perhaps a hunt?” __________________________________________ Some have greatness thrust upon them ~ Soulmate of Seraphina ~ Brother of Castiel ~ Warden of Scamander ~ Heir of Aurora Borealis ~ Sire of Ziva, Gwyneira, Cassius ~ |
