CALLING ALL CIRCUS CAELLA (Moving Day!)

[Nelio]

[bg=00c5cd] It was time. Nelio could not believe he above anyone else was actually nervous. But as he awoke with the brightening of day he could feel his muscles twitching in excess. He looked over to see the beautiful white pelt of his mate and snuffled his nose into her pelt gently. “It’s time to call the others my love, we must be on our way today.” His eyes shimmered with the reflecting light off the water as it entered their small cave he had commandeered for the sake of a temporary den. He stepped from the den and let the light him, as well as the cold winds, it was indeed a wake up call he was used to getting by now. He did not know how the others would feel traveling north, but they had no choose, Raynor had already told the Accord of their arrival, and Lio would not let the pack down, nor would he allow her his own group to establish a reputation as anything other then entertaining and reliable. He yawned, and pushed his front paws down into the sound, savoring the feel of sand beneath his toes, for he knew now it was temporary. He knew he had to call to as many members as possible, and for that he would need height, the only member who would be missing would be Raynor, having returned to his pack with news as well as his own duties. This irritated the muscular male Cael, but he did not doubt that once they arrived Raynor would take his place beside them and perform to the best of his abilities. He began walking through the sand, the blue speckles along his pelt were the only marks that allowed anyone to guess he was Cael in nature and yet he was proud of his fairly new body, he did not have the trouble walking on land that most of his species had, and though he might not be as fast as other wolves, he was fairly certain he could defend himself, and the females to which his group was mostly made of. The traveling would also allow him to see just what Crow was made of, one of the reasons he allowed the Yagi to join was simply for protection. He did not honestly see how the large male could do anything but offer protection, but seeing as how Tor cared for him and they were friends, he was willing to allow the male a role in his group, as long as Crow never forgot it was HIS group, and most of the females were tied to him in some fashion or another be they a sister like Tawny or a mate or love like Dreamith and Tor. Thinking of them all he smiled and continued on his way, and at a rather good pace as well, he climbed the cliffs he and Sylva had jumped off of, that he and Tawny had talked at the top of, and he knew was not only the best calling point for his group, but also the most inspirational points on the beaches, which would sorely be needed to let his little group know that they could indeed do this. Sometimes, no matter how much you wanted or believed in someone they had to do it for themselves as well, or failure was imminent. Having reached the top of the cliffs he stared for a moment, watching the large round circle which was the sun rise higher and higher, it may have been obscured by a few clouds on it’s ascent to it’s home above the oceans. He watched as the water turned, rolled, and fell into then earth only to retreat and do it again. Despite the fact that the force of the action always changed, it was pretty consistent, and now they were all about to lose anything that was consistent. Weather up north was changing and could always be unpredictable, water could be scarce and their performances would have to be drastically changed. But this was what he had signed up for and he wouldn’t lose it now, not for anything if he could very well help it. He tipped his muzzle back to the sky and called out over the cliffs in a howl that could only be described as musical and masculine within the same right. The range of sound carried and echoed to all whose ears were there to hear it, and the message was clear: “For all those involved in the Caella Circus, we will have one more meeting atop the cliff, your Ringmaster Nelio calls for your attendance. There is no excuse, and all must attend.” It was not only a call but a test, by now every Caella that was a member of the circus should have strengthened themselves to be able to scale the cliff, and they should have also had the gumption to jump off of it into the water below. It took a slight amount of angling and bravery to do it, but Lio would never ask his group members to do anything he could not and he did understand if one refused, although he hoped that their dedication mirrored his own and that they would work to do as he asked in the end. He sat with his back to the sun now, using what rays he could to warm himself as he waited for the arrival of those who would be traveling with him for the next couple of months at least. Anticipation making his toes twitch into the ground below to hide the gesture in it’s entirety.

[Dreamith]

[atrb=background, i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/dback-7.jpg] "Speaking" Dreamith woke up to her mate's nose touching her fur softly. She stayed still, content with having her mate close to her. There was nothing compared to the feeling of being with her love. But then the moment Nelio spoke that the pack would be on the move today made her heart jump out of her chest. Today?!?! That suddenly filled to with so many different kinds of emotions including nervousness, excitement, and pure joy. As Nelio got to the front of the den, Dreamith stood and kept close but behind him. Okay okay okay.... today is the day... oh don't screw it up Dreamith!!! That thought ran across her mind quite a few times. She fallowed her mate out and she allowed a quick shiver to hit her as the wind chilled her contently and her black sock paws moved through the sand. However, with each step, the more the butterflies in her stomach grew. She knew she had been practicing very hard and doing her best but she was afraid of that not being good enough. She thought back to her family. Maybe it was why they kicked her out of the pack... not because 'she needed to see and explore the world for herself' but because they believed that she would fail and bring the pack down. If that were the case, she was certainly afraid to do anything with this pack... what if she brought his pack down.. Nelio's? Dreamith swallowed hard and pushed the thoughts of that evilness away. There was no way she would allow such things to come into mind, she knew she could not think of such horrible things on the very first day of the pack completely gathering and going to go to their first performance, to the Accord. Dreamith nearly ran into her mate, not noticing that he had stopped. She growled at herself in her head, she needed to clear her head and get a hold of herself. She couldn't let her love down, especially today of all days and days of the performances. Dreamith felt that she would know how bad that would be and make her mate feel so she would do absolutely everything in her power to keep that from happening. Stay strong Dreamith... just stay strong. She breathed in deeply and let out her breath slowly and quietly. Her doing this actually helped immensely and calmed her heart down a bit. The surrounding area also helped her as she had always felt this was truly home. But she understood that she needed to change that, her home was now where ever Nelio is. She smiled contently as she looked at her mate began to howl the call. Even though his words were fairly simple, his voice still made her swoon. It was beautiful even in Ceal comparison. Once Nelio was finished, Dreamith watched him sit down and she then sat down beside him. Just about the only member she had really encountered and officially met was Tor. So not only was she slightly nervous of her performance but also of meeting the other members. What would I do if more of the members don't like me..? Dreamith once again did her best to rid herself of these self of steam blowing thoughts. She reminded herself to just keep calm, be polite, and try to not make any more enemies. That would be a very worrisome thing to do. Especially on purpose. Not that she would but still. Her mind went to thinking of Tor. How much the younger she-Ceal wanted nothing to do with Dreamith and would only look/gaze up at her mate.... battering those pretty little eyelashes of hers. Dreamith sighed inwardly as she realized that it will definitely be taking some time for them to ever ease the tension between them. But they did need to do it at some degree at this point because of the up coming performance. She closed her eyes for a moment. Oh what was she to do? New people to meet. An act to do with her mate. Her eyes suddenly went wide open. She wouldn't be alone in the act. She would have her loving mate there by her side. Dreamith smiled some. She loved her mate so darn much. She wouldn't be embarrassed to say it at all in front of complete strangers. Because it was the simple, and complete truth. And she would never, ever lie about that. Dreamith looked at her handsome mate. He seemed so happy. Dreamith felt that she could only imagine how he was feeling, getting to go and travel and achieve his dream. "Oh Nelio.... I am so excited," She said smiling at him. But she then looked down for a moment. "...I just hope...I wont mess up preforming or make a bad impression in front of the other members...." She slowly became quiet to the point were she stopped talking. Dreamith didn't exactly want to say anything about that kind of negativity but she couldn't help it. She was nerves and it was only natural that she would speak openly to him about it, right? Dreamith glanced up at the blue sky. Few clouds were up ahead and she took a moment to feel the cool winds play around with her fur and whisper some in her ears. "I love you Nelio..." She said a moment later. Dreamith knew there would be someone coming soon so she leaned in close to her mate and sighed contently. D r e a m i t h' s . S o n g

[atrb=background,http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q21/winkatuck/crownewcopy.png,true][atrb=width,500,true][atrb=height,750,true][atrb=border,0,true]	[scrolly:h(3),w(30),sy][/scrolly]	[scrolly:h(220),w(420),sy]The large forest green pelt padded against the sandy turf, leaving broad paw prints in the mixed gravel below his weight as it shifted from side to side. Crow's head was held high, his tail also some what of a equal level... not too dominant but definitely not submissive either. His ram like horns adorning his skull gleamed brightly, sharp and ready for any possible battles to come. He was already headed towards the place Nelio and his mate sat, he knew Yvit Cove well and he had done a bit of mapping of the areas nearby as well. Crow was a new and changed wolf now, he had learned from Raynor and had worked out what he would do in the upcoming performance. Crow's usually ash fur shone almost an emerald green from rippling muscles underneath them, and the oils from a constant fish diet and exercise. The yagi had greatly improved since his last meeting with any of the Caella, especially tor. Ever since she had admitted she did not share the same feelings... the horned wolf simply blocked her out of existence and decided he would do something for himself for once. He would become more solely dependent on himself alone. He grew up alone, so it was easy to train countless days and strengthen up for the journey ahead of the circus. Would Nelio be intimidated by his approach, or ecstatic that he had become more than the cowardly dog he had given as a first impression? Either way, he continued towards the call and licked his long saber like fangs, the sun lighting them up like holy daggers. "I am here, Nelio." His ear's twitched as he sat, stiff and alert to everything around them. What would Crow do if Tor were to confront him? His voice however, sounded more hoarse and less melodic as it used to. He had to admit, he didn't have time to goof off and sing lately. The small price to pay to gather yourself together and find who you are. Right? He peered up at the female cael next to Nelio and narrowed his eyes in suspicion. Who is she? I don't remember her being at any of the other meetings... and how does she know Nelio? Though it was none of the yagi's business... he nodded to her respectfully before turning back to the brown speckled male and awaiting further instruction or introductions. [/scrolly]

[atrb=background,http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h448/soarly/Wonderwhy/Tables/Tortable2.png] Tor had decided to sleep close to where Leo stayed; firstly because whenever he howled for a meeting or whatever she could see and smell the gathering wolves and secondly she did not like the thought of leaving Leo alone with Dreamith. Dreamith. She wrinkled her nose at the thought of her huddling up with Nelio. It was wrong... just wrong to imagine them together. But then would she like her if she did not know that she was Leo's mate? Perhaps so but... She shook her head; all this was confusing. She disliked Dreamith just because she was a mate of the wolf Tor liked so much. Wasn't that wrong? The green cael flattened her ears almost guiltily, it wouldn't be fair for Dreamith if she kept hating on her. More importantly, it wouldn't be fair for Nelio. But then... she felt a little irritated that Leo saw Dreamith and picked her first. She shifted her curled up position into a lying down pose and laid her head on her paws. Why couldn't this be easier? Then she thought about Crow. At least Leo liked her in the same way she liked him. An involuntarily guilty whine escaped her lips as she thought about the ash coloured yagi. She remembered how he had nearly died running towards her only to have her rejecting him. She remembered how shocked she was to see him confessing. Perhaps Leo wasn't silly to be worried about Crow. But, of course, he shouldn't worry that much as he should know that Tor didn't share his feelings. Ever since Crow's confession Tor had noticed that she hadn't really seen the yagi that much and this worried her. Firstly because she did not want to lose her best friend and secondly because they hadn't finished practicing their routine. She gulped as she thought about the Circus and their show, will they mess up or will it somehow be perfect? Her worries increased tenfold, provoking her to reach the decision to have a little walk to calm herself down. She left her sleeping place and trotted along the shore, taking care not to touch the lapping sea. Tor did not want to enter the ocean just yet; she did not want to taint the beautiful sea with her worries. She was about to sit down when a scent, or rather multiple scents reached her. Turning her head towards the source, the cael could see a bunch of wolf figures. She guessed Leo must've howled for another meeting. She shifted nervously, it would be the first time she had seen Leo and Dreamith since that time in the skeleton forest. And, if he was there, Crow. She flattened her ears, she had last seen him was when she was rejecting him. Would he forgive her? She did not mean any harm, she still loved him, but not in that way. Turning away from the sea she trotted towards the meeting, her tail flicking once uneasily. As she got closer scents hit her. Nelio, obviously. Dreamith. And Crow. No one else. Not even Tawny. Her quick pace faltered as she got closer but it hadn't taken long when she finally arrived. She smiled broadly at Leo and bounced towards him to nuzzle his cheek, gazing up into his swirling silver eyes adoringly. Hey. She looked at Dreamith and nodded at her politely before finally turned her attention to Crow. Tor's eyes widened and her ears twitched in surprise. He had changed so much. His usual ash fur gleamed healthy green and his eyes sparkled with a healthy gleam. Under his coat powerful muscles evident. His great horns, previously looked so odd with his clumsy appearance, gave him a magnificent impression. She guessed that he must've trained himself so intensely after all he once told her that he wanted to learn how to fight. Then another stab of guilt came when she realised that she must've held him back. With Tor out of the picture Crow was able to focus on his goal and improve his whole appearance and strength as result. She moved slowly towards him, almost cautiously as she didn't know how her best friend would react. Then deciding that she was close enough she stopped a few inches front of Crow, staring at his impressive appearance, her surprise hadn't disappeared quite yet. C-Crow? I'm sorry. She flicked her ears and shoved all of her guilt through their mind link to show how bad she was feeling about neglecting her best friend for Nelio.

[[Waiting on Tawny, then I have a post already written and then one more round of everyone and then we are going straight for Accord, to perform after the announcement of the new king. So any kinks that need to be worked out OOC in PMs or such, get em fixed because we are heading to the Accord shortly!]]

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/tback-2.jpg] [scrolly:h(370), w(340),sy] The damn visions had not stopped following her about, and she didn't know if she could handle much more of them. The fluorescent pink koi fish following her about, swirling above her head in a lovely dance, had gotten through to her. The manifestation of the power had startled her, had come so suddenly. Her will, so strong before the upcoming performance, upon which it cracked, was now shattered completely. Her limbs shook with every step she placed on the ground in front of her and she had issues with her senses, all of them. They did not seem to want to work properly for her. Her vision would blur itself and sometimes she couldn't tell one scent from another. With all of this happening, she avoided everyone in the group until this day, huddled on Talyn Island to see if the problem would resolve itself. Tawny shuddered as she laid limply on the beach, ears twitching when she heard her beloved brother's call. It was time already? It had been days since seeing them all, sure, and she looked half starved herself. She almost did not want to approach them with the way she appeared. Worry is the last thing she wanted everyone to feel over her. Nelio knew of the sudden manifestation of her power. Hallucinations. They could be useful all the time, especially with performances, but that didn't mean she could control it well. She had practiced hard the last week, trying to gain control over it, but barely. She could create and control the movements of the things in the hallucination, but she could not make them go away entirely. It was difficult to walk around with three, hot pink koi fish swimming in the air above her body at all times. "I can't be like this... I won't fail... I made him a promise." She forced herself to her feet, limbs trembling beneath her. By the time she got there, the others will have beaten her to the cliffs. Sighing, she tumbled forward into the water, feeling her bones shift and reform in her body to turn into her luxurious golden scaled tail. She pushed herself forwards through the water, painfully, and paddled onto the shore not too far away. Shaking herself out, the second in command of the group formed her tail back into her legs and continued in tripping along the beach. The female could not walk correctly, so shaken from her power and trying to control it. She had expended so much of her energy doing this, and everything made her sick to her stomach. She was so hellbent on learning to control this, and she had not eaten much in the last day and a half. The cliffs came into sight and while there was some relief, she knew she would still need to make the incline to the top of them, where she could see everyone else waiting. I can do this... The pink kois floating above her head giggled as if to disagree or as if to mock her in her attempt to get up there. She tried ignoring them and began on her way up. Her breathing became labored, her heart working harder. By the time she managed to reach the top, she could smell the very sickness on her breath and nearly felt as though she were about to wretch up her own stomach acids over the edge of the cliff. Her pelt was excessively sweaty. She tried to gain her composure, but she still looked like hell. She tripped over her own paws as she went to Nelio, nuzzling his shoulder lovingly. Without a word spoken, she turned away and paced to the edge of the cliff, flopping down on the edge. She was about to lose her stomach and there were three pink fish floating above her head. She didn't want to say a word. [/scrolly]

[bg=00c5cd] He was aware of his mate’s body following him out, and it was indeed good that she did, it would be one less member to keep track of or call so that they could get going. He knew the Accord was expecting them and they had a decent amount of land to travel over before they could get there. The pace would be fast, and he honestly hoped all the wolves could keep up, this would be yet another test of their endurance, and he knew that in their travels he would be depending on Crow and Raynor when he traveled with them to protect the females and preserve the pace. He knew that many of the members would suffer from anxiety, anticipation and nervousness, and he couldn’t help but feel it too, the emotions of all would definitely be felt by all, and so he knew a part of his duty besides protection, and pack relations, and performing was also to keep the group as calm as possible during their travels and during their performances. He tried to keep his back straight as he and his mate walked in silence to his intended destination, and he knew he was tense, but there would be no helping it, not today, and so on he continued to walk. His eyes slid across to his mate as they sat there alone for some time while the other members were traveling to where they were, and he was once again more than grateful to have her by his side. She was wonderful, accommodating and a great partner. She would give up the beaches where she called home to be with him, and she had given above and beyond what he thought most wolves were able to give. It made him truly care for her in a way that she could never possibly know. When Dreamith began to speak he in turn smiled and listened attentively before responding, “I am glad you are excited my love, for I too feel the anticipation clawing at my paws to get going…” His eyes glanced around before landing back on her petty form. “I am sure your performance will be as lovely as you are, and you know you have me there with you, so you will have no worries..” Her next sentence made him smile, and the fur raise all the way along his back, and he responded without hesitation, “I love you as well Dreamith, never forget that.” He nuzzled into his chest and playfully nibbled at her ear as they waited. When Crow arrived Lio was pleasantly surprised, the wolf in front of him would be what any wolf would call a fine specimen of wolf, let alone Yagi and male. He had matured these last few weeks, and he could tell the male had been practicing and building his muscles. Out of all the wolves Crow probably needed the least work physically, considering he already had considerable size and defenses, but now it seemed he had worked on himself mentally and emotionally. His sheer demeanor had changed completely, as though he had matured, and this was rewarded by an appreciative glance from Lio. He knew the larger male didn’t need his approval but he had it now, because he now knew Crow could truly be an asset and worthy of being within his group not only as a performer, but as a member. Lio nodded and spoke, “You look very well my friend, I see the time on this beach has seemingly changed you overnight…” For Lio that was the highest praise he had given Crow, let alone the tone of his voice was not neutral anymore, it was almost downright pleasant. He knew Dreamith didn’t know Crow, and so he took it upon himself to introduce them, “Crow, this is Dreamith, my mate. Dreamith this is Crow, who has the esteemed title of being the only Yagi in this group, but I am sure that will work not only to our benefit but to his when he performs.” He was genuinely smiling at the two wolves in front of him, feeling some of the tension and anxiety trail off, which was nearly like a weight upon his shoulders, not only his own, but he carried that of his mate’s as well. It would be then that Tor revealed herself and Lio immediately perked up to see her coming close. The very sight of her had a different affect on him than that of his mate but he knew it was because she was different. They shared a deep connection and he couldn’t help how excited he was to see her, when she nuzzled his cheek he brushed himself nearly possessively against her side, making sure to inhale her scent mixed with that of ocean and sand, heady and deep. ‘Hey, I am thrilled to see you..’ He leaned forward to lick underneath her chin affectionately before letting her turn to see Crow. He very carefully watched her reaction to the larger male wolf, he did not glare at Crow, but it was as though he were checking to see if what she had told him in the forest was true. His attention was completely diverted when he saw Tawny arise over the other side of the cliff, and his eyes widened in shock. She looked even worse than the day she had met him within that horrible storm. He had been concerned for her then, and he was damn sure concerned for her now. She looked haggard and worn, tired and malnourished, and he was wondering how she would even make it to the Accord, and he would not go without her. Breaking contact from Dreamith without hesitation he met Tawny half way and leaned himself against her to help her up. The appearance of the fish above her head told Lio all he needed to know about the situation, his lovely Tawny was suffering from the power that had chosen now of all times to manifest itself. He growled low within his chest as she nuzzled his shoulder. “What have you been doing Tawny?” He nuzzled the side of her face, attempting to push his pelt along the length of her to give her some relief from the insane amount of perspiration that was collecting on her pelt. As she went to the cliff’s edge to lay down he followed her and sniffed and licked all around her shoulders and body, pressing for injuries that she might have incurred. Seeing that she was fine, except for the exhaustion and lack of food he leaned in and whispered, “Let me make this announcement and I will find you something to eat, I know that is part of the reason you are feeling so bad, I won’t leave without you Tawny….” Turning he walked back to his position and tried to remain calm over his worry for the brown wolf who he had come to care about so much. He spoke to the wolves around him at that point, knowing that if Tor could speak mind to mind with him, she could do it with Crow, and that they were probably having a rather weird, private conversation amongst themselves. But he had called this meeting for an important reason and those around him needed to hear it. “We will be leaving today, and heading into the Accord territory to do our first performance. It cannot be delayed any longer or we face nasty weather. They know we are coming and are expecting us so I see no reason for us to run into any trouble. Raynor will be meeting us there, and while I know many of you are probably anxious and worried, I am sure we will all do fine, everything may not go perfectly, but this will be our first time doing this, and so I think someone might forgive us if we aren’t perfect. Now, before we head out, I want to thank you all for staying here, for practicing and committing yourself to my dream, I owe you all a mighty debt, and I will do everything in my power to make us even during our time together.” With that he stepped back and waited for anyone else to say anything before they headed off.

[atrb=background, i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/dback-7.jpg] "Speaking" Dreamith sighed contently and silently when Nelio spoke back to her. Every time she heard his voice, it was as if the world stopped spinning and everything held its breath for that moment just to hear the chime of his voice. Or at least that was the way she felt since she knew and didn't mind at all being completely and forever in love with him. Dreamith let out a small and soft giggle as he nibbled one of her ears. It felt so funny. Dreamith watched as a Yagi began to climb up towards them. At first, this made her very nervous and it probably didn't help that she had never actually met a Yagi before. She shook her head mentally and smiled respectfully at him. She listened as Nelio spoke. Crow... interesting name for one with such.... fangs. "Pleasure to meet you Crow." She said bowing her head some to him. Dreamith had always known Nelio was intelligent, so it did not shock her at all when he had explained to her of the presence of Crow. She was still starring and somewhat distracted by Crows abnormal fangs as Tor came in. But the moment her scent hit Dreamith, her eyes went directly, just catching... was it? Could it have possibly been? Indeed, a polite nod from one who Dreamith thought would never even look at her without disgust in her eyes. Truth be told, it caught her off guard, to say the least. She stared at Tor for a moment longer but then retracted her eyes away. Its not impossible for someone to change a bit, anyways, I am sure she is a good wolf without me around much... or else Nelio probably wouldn't have fallen in love with her.... right? Dreamith snapped at herself in her head. Of course! Don't be so foolish. Dreamith turned her head as Nelio left her side and hurry to another female Ceal who she quickly noted must also be part of the circus. The female looked tired and worn and Dreamith was glad that Nelio had left to help her. But how would she endure the travel to the Accord in such a condition as she looked. Her eyes were then caught by the three pink fish that floated about the female's head. For a moment, she thought she was hallucinating but then why would she be? It would have been so completely random for three pink fish to be swimming above the Ceal's head from Dreamith's mind. But why then? She stayed quiet as Nelio seemed to be speaking to her in a low tone then walked back over to were he had been before. She looked at him intently. Dreamith was suddenly so much more nervous then ever! As a pup, she would have, and didn't, ever dream about ever preforming. It would be such a completely new experience for her. Now she didn't know about any of the others but she knew quite right that she was having stage fright, and they hadn't even yet begin the journey to! However, she couldn't help it. After all, it was expected, right? Dreamith breathed out a long but silent sigh. She knew she could do it, now to do it! There also was no backing out of this. Not only would she feel like she were betraying Nelio but it would also be cowardly and that was the last thing she wanted to ever be. No, she knew that was not who she was to be. Dreamith's mind wandered for a moment, to a time when she was back with her parents and siblings. "Come darling, we must move to a new territory. The prey here is no longer good and we must go somewhere else. Your father has already gotten the pack ready for the Song of Travel." The pup who was very well Dreamith cocked her head to the side. "But what is the Song of Travel?" Her mother smiled gently and gazed down at her sometimes so oblivious daughter. So silly she is, her mother thought. "Well, it is a traditional song in our pack. The song is well... kind of about asking the sky's for good luck and that everything with be alright. Its a short round... once your father and me start it and sing all of the lyrics then start again, others join in, then the rest join in after that though it dose not happen always like that. Do you understand dear?" Little Dreamith sometimes hated when her mother asked if she understood. In Dreamith's mind, if she didn't understand something, she would say so and not need to be asked, but she answered anyways. "Yes mommy..." Dreamith stood up and looked at all of them for a moment. Her eyes landed on Nelio for a second longer then she had looked at the others. Almost to say.. 'I have something important to say'. She then lifted her head and began to sing the song that her parents and pack had sang so long ago. Her voice hit all the very multiple and very high and low notes, the arrangement of notes may have reminded someone of the bottom of some body of water where the sand is light tan and the waters dark blue, then light blue designs playing on the sand. It sounded like some sort of underwater enchantment. She knew that Crow would probably not be able to sing quite like it but he could probably catch onto the melody and common pitches and be able to sing along. As for Tor... maybe Nelio could help her out. After she had completed the first time around of the song, she paused and looked at everyone. She hoped that they would catch on as she started to sing the short song again hoping for the others to either join her to her lines or some falling to some of the lines behind so to create the round.

He was unsure how to feel about it all. The encounter, Tor and everything coming back into place. With a thrust of his horned head towards the sky, he averted his gaze from her. His tone low as he took deep breaths as he kept his proud stature in front of the rest of the group. He locked eyes with Tor while he slowly turned towards Dreamith. "The pleasure is mine, Dreamith." He walked past Tor, keeping silent as tawny made her way onto the scene, Nelio continuing about their travel and where their first performance would be. His eyes shimmered in the sun's light with a fiery poison. His strides strong and powerful, he was all too curious what was with the other brown cael. He wanted to help. He wanted anything to show them he could be of use. "Nelio, would you prefer I fish for some food before we head out? Do either of ya need any assistance?" he tried to keep to himself, but his want to provide service and prove his worth to the rest of the water wolves drove his motivation to speak up. Crow slowly began to wag his tail as he glanced back towards Tor. He was happy for her, even if she was not happy with him. But it hurt, and that was what distracted him from what his true goals could be. 'There's no reason to apologize, Tor. All is better and all is forgiven.' Though something burned inside him, that small voice of jealousy. That pang of regret, an emotion he would never had thought he would go through. He felt his stomach churn at the idea of anyone being [lovingly] close to him for now though. Said deaf cael being at the top of that list. He just needed more time to think about it all. Then things only reminded him of his past as Dreamith began in song. Of what, Crow was unsure. He felt a low growl rise in his throat, his voice wishing to soar out along with the other wolves. But he would resist it unless everyone else deemed it fit before the travel. He did not want to continue being the odd one out. [/scrolly]

[atrb=background,http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h448/soarly/Wonderwhy/Tables/Tortable2.png] Tor was pleased that two other wolves, Leo and Dreamith, had greeted her because when she approached her best friend, he simply ignored her. In fact he walked past her to greet that Dreamith. She sat down, refusing to look at the scene behind her, whining gently as she realised that Crow did not want to do anything with her. What was those days, filled with the two wolves playing and having a fun, then? A lie? It wasn't her fault that she did not share his feelings! She wanted to feel raw anger bubbling wildly inside her, to feel a thirst of being a bitch but she felt nothing but a huge, sad, gaping hole where her heart should be. His coldness hurt her a lot, much more than when she discovered that Nelio had a mate. It was confusing as she liked Nelio in a completely different way and it should be him who hurt her the most. Tor would later assume that Crow wasn't the wolf she'd expected to lose so this shock must've increased the pain tenfold. She shook her head, it didn't matter. It was done. So, with every part of her body drooping, she turned and spotted a tired, weak Tawny. Tawny was usually a strong cael whom Tor admired (after she realised that there was nothing romantic between her and Leo) but it wasn't this that surprised the younger cael; there were three fish swimming around above Tawny's head. Tortoiseshell had to blink for a few times before realising that she wasn't seeing things; other wolves' reaction told her this. What was wrong with her? She padded over to her, giving her a worried look. She did not know Tawny well enough to penetrate her mind with her concern. Well, then how would the golden-finned cael tell her then? Her head swivelled towards Crow before she remembered. As she remembered the pain increased so she broke her gaze off the yagi to look at Leo. Perhaps he could tell her? Is she alright? Can I do anything to help? Even though the two female caels did not know each other very well, Tor still worried about her; she did not like seeing admirable wolves being weakened. Besides she was the only female cael she liked around here apart for herself. A familiar presence entered her mind, saying that she didn't need to apologise. Tor's body froze for a second before whipping around and saw Crow watching her. The familiar surge of resentment, similar to the day when the yagi was almost killed in front of her, exploded inside her: What had taken you this long?! Her nostrils were flaring and her small ears were flattened against her delicate skull. He had left her to hurt, even for a little bit. Why? Was this some kind of revenge? She had hurt him and he wanted to hurt her? To show what was it like not having someone you loved? No, no, she snapped to herself, calm down. You could lose him again. A smile crept to her lips as she relaxed again. Sorry. I didn't want to hurt you. Then she dashed over to him to poke him with her small muzzle. To feel the intimate warmth and scent of the yagi.

[Nelio]

[[Alright here we go! Due to not wanting to lose momentum I am going to ask that this be the end of the thread. We can assume Crow hunts for Tawny to give her strength to travel and Nelio takes care of her on the way. Tor and Dreamith's questions can be answered by Lio so they now have a good idea Tawny can form hallucinations. In the future I would like to actually play out the traveling because that is where the danger will come in but for now I am going to go ahead and post Nelio into the Accord thread announcing the new king and beginning the show. Have your acts organized and such so we can try to move seamlessly from one to the others. >:] Are we ready?!]]
