The air is heavy as you make your way through unknown territory, as you pause to sniff the air a drop of rain falls onto your nose. It is soon followed by another and another and soon the rain is pelting down in sheets, soaking you to the bone. The clouds are an angry purple and the menacing drumming of thunder rolls over the sky. Squinting your eyes against the blinding water you find yourself at the edge of a large, dark pine forest. You are too desperate for shelter to notice the scents that mark the border and plunge in, and nearly into the chilly stream that runs through the territory. You veer away and as you are shaking the water out of your fur you notice a large pair of icy blue shards gazing at you. The storm has passed now and beams of sunlight filter through the thick canopy of pines, illuminating a massive male wolf not three feet away from where you stand.
His pelt looks like a bad patchwork job of black and white and beneath them you see large, hard bands of steely muscle and you know this is a warrior for his torso is marred with many battle scars. His banner curls over his back and his lips are drawn, exposing sharp ivory daggers. When he speaks his voice is deep and dominant, like the thunder you so recently heard.
"Wolf, you have found yourself in the terra of the Andere Seite Pack. I am Eclipse, king of this land."
It is only then that you notice another pair of lanterns gleaming in the penumbra and a dark-pelted fae slinks out into the clearing to stand next to the king, her own banner waves and her green and blue eyes bore into you. She is the same size as most males and a crisscrossing pattern of scars show that she too can take care of herself. Her voice is cold and has a snake-like sound to it yet you can see they are both fair rulers.
"And I am Nephthys, queen of Andere. We don’t care much for strangers so you must make your choice, Submit to us now or flee our lands and never return. If you fail to do either you will have little time left to regret it."
The formidable pair pierces you with their gaze and you feel as if all your secrets spill out before them. You are left with a decision now. Will you submit and take refuge in this dark forest or will you flee and never know what secrets these trees hide? Make haste, you can see that the pair grow tired of waiting.

Zanzibar had a growth spurt, even since last seeing his adopted mother. Actually, that was who he was looking for now more than anyone else. Though his luck when it actually came to finding her wasn’t looking so good. Mismatched eyes flickered from path to path, and into clearings and between trees. All places empty of canine life. He was still quite young; about a month and a half away from his six month birthday. And for being four and a half months old, the young male was actually quite intelligent.
Though he had gotten bigger since first coming and being taken in by the once alpha pair, his proportions were still off; most noticeably his ears and feet were quite large. Though it only meant he would grow to be quite large, which was often looked at as a positive thing.
He wasn’t sure what would happen if he ran into someone else. Normally, Zanzibar refused to speak to others ... a social disorder in sorts, that made him nervous to talk to others. That was, unless he trusted the wolf enough. He had connected with Eclipse right away, for some reason, and had been willing to talk with him. And the only other wolf he trusted was Nephthys. Even when he spoke to a wolf, he stuttered, but he was always so confident, it was very obvious he wasn't nervous... he just had a slight speech problem.
Hopefully if he did find some other member by accident or something, they wouldn’t take offense. The young male didn’t do it on purpose, he just couldn’t speak in front of most wolves. It frustrated him, but he was hopeful that he would be able to get over this before he reached adulthood.
Seeing movement near a tree, Zanzibar began sniffing around. When a creature that he recognized as a raccoon leapt out, he sprinted, still quite cautious of strange creatures because of the lynx attack. As he sprinted, he nearly tripped over his large, white paws a few times, and he ran until he was out of breath. Luckily he ended up a few feet from a puddle. And instead of just lapping up enough to refresh him, the pup decided to completely lay his body in the puddle. With his tail he splashed a few times, and he put his muzzle beneath the water and blew some bubbles to entertain himself. Though it was shallow enough so that when he was relaxed enough, the masked pup placed his chin on his paws, and began to fall asleep, figuring he would begin his search for his mother after a comfortable nap.
