She picked her way through the plains, tails swishing out behind her. The grass here was so tall! Why was it so tall? She couldn't find anything! Not like she could see over the grass, Lyxxus were normally small, but she was very small, even for a Lyxxus!
Switching her green eyes around nervously, Dakota wondered where she was. The grass swished in the wind. It was so quiet. Too quiet. Dakota's ears fell flat nervously against her head. She began to creep along quieter, and slower. Her tail stood still behind her.
JD began walking lower to the ground, wondering if this was such a good idea. Maybe the Republic wouldn't even want her. She was a little... okay, a lot, useless. But she couldn't turn around now. She had no idea where she was!
Hearing the low, mournful cry of some bird in the distance, it startled her, and she rushed forward, instantly into a sprint. This is what she was good at, running! All she could think of was to go faster, faster!

A lone lyxxus pup wandered the plains, cleverly disguised among the tall grasses. While his yellow fur was often obvious, he blended in well among the tan stalks. The plants crinkled with every step, causing Roxeyn to gaze behind him repeatedly in terror. I just want to go back to mom and dad, he thought miserably. Sure, he could care for himself, but he did not want to. This world was scary, and there were other wolves out there that would not hesitate to take him out. The thought itself was horrifying. The little male raised his muzzle, inhaling deeply.
Uh oh. I'm on claimed land, he thought, shivering slightly. It was not one of chills, but of fear. A pack meant other wolves that would be looking for him. Stalking their lands in search of intruders. At least, this was the picture his parents had painted of the pack wolves. He was wary of anyone he did not know, and trespassing here meant the possibility of running into so many familiar faces that he would quite possibly black out. I have to get out of here! he thought, almost in tears.
However, before Roxeyn even had the chance to take off at a run, another form went flying past him. The youngling yelped, terrified to be in such close company with another wolf. "Don't hurt me!" he cried out, his eyes pitiful and full of terror. What have I done? Mother and Father would be so displeased with me, speaking in such a manner. I am not a pup, I am an adult, he attempted to reassure himself. But it had not worked before with his older brothers; why would it be any different now? "Just... Please don't hurt me," he whimpered, eying the larger lyxxus who had brushed past him in such a rush that he could not help but wonder if something was chasing her. What if it was a predator? He could be in even more danger! He shuddered.

Obi saw these new wolves. He got ready to attack. First he assessed the wolves. One was a small female, the other looked young. He could probably take them out if need be. He had just been on his daily rounds. He walked through the tall grass, keeping low, his muscles seemed to move all in one fluid motion. He rushed through the grass to these new commers. He jumped out from behind the tall brownish grass, towards the young male. "Who are you?!" Obi growled, baring his fangs.

Blindly running, just blindly running! She had to get away... she had to...
Don't hurt me!
Dakota skidded to a halt and looked over her shoulder to see a pup cowering on the ground, looking up at her fearfully. She instantly felt pity, and sadness, and more so the need to help. "It's ok, little one." She cooed. "I won't hurt you." She answered truthfully. Indeed, she couldn't remember another time in her life when she'd attacked another wolf, especially just a puppy.
All of a sudden, yet another Lyxxus, larger then them both, burst through the grasses. He was a large male, and he looked angry. Her ears went back against her head as he growled at her, and she cowered submissively.
Who are you?!
"I-I'm Dakota." She choked. "I was looking for the R-Romneya Republic." She really did not want to be on this male's bad side, or anyone's bad side. All she wanted to do was join the Republic... though now, they probably would slaughter her. Why couldn't it be different?

Roxeyn eyed the larger female warily at first, but her words brought him comfort. He let out the slightest sigh of relief before puffing himself up a little. "I'm Roxeyn," he introduced himself to the other lyxxus. He was a little more comfortable after her soothing words, but something still felt off. As soon as he opened his mouth to ask what she was doing, a wolf burst from the brush, a growl rumbling from his throat. What made things worse: this male aimed his growl directly at Roxeyn.
The young wolf nearly yelped in fear, but out of instinct, he growled back, his ears flat against his head as he back away, crouching closer and closer to the ground with each step. "If you won't hurt me, he will though," he half-whispered, half-yelped to Dakota. Why did it seem that everyone was always against him? This wolf is going to be the death of me! his mind kept chanting. Why could he not bring himself to run from the larger male?
"Wh-what's the Ro-Romneya Repu-public?" Roxeyn stammered, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. It was enough to have friendly Dakota around. Why would anyone ever be comfortable with a horrifying big wolf staring down his throat? "I-I'll go wherever yo-you go Dakota," he choked out almost silently. He did not want to be alone any longer, and if they survived this, he would not be quick to walk away from the first wolf that had shown him an inkling of kindness since his sister had died...

Romneya Republic? Obi saw how frightened each one was but they were both looking for the republic. He was constantly being told to be more patient. He reminded himself to take control and find more out about them. First step, stop growling. He blinked hard then stopped. Next step, stop baring fangs and making little Lyxxus quiver in fear. That took a great deal more of effort. Every muscle in his body had to slowly loosen, while his nature screamed at him too continue on scaring them.
When he looked closer he realized that one was no more then a pup. He couldn't help but smile a bit. He absolutely loved pups. He assised the other one who was looking very submissive at the moment. Obi sat down, parts of his fur seemed to match the ground and grass while other parts like his white tips at the end of each tail, stood out.
"Dakota?" He asked, he turned back to the young male wolf. "Don't worry I won't hurt you unless you are planning to hurt my pack. Now, you both want to go to the Romneya Republic?" He chuckled at the thought of how Keely and Fyodor would react if he brought them back with him. "Well I can tell you about it and maybe bring you back but first, your name young one." He turned to the youngest pup. He may seem calm but it took everything he had to not go into 'I kill all who I don't know' mode.

She liked this pup already. He was so inquisitive, and so adorable. Dakota thought about "Roxeyn's" question for a moment.
"The Romneya republic is a pack, Roxeyn." She whispered to him. "They are all Lyxxus." With that, she looked back up at the male, releived that he seemed to be looking less aggressive. Okay, so maybe they wouldn't slaughter her.
The pup apparently liked her, as he said he'd go wherever she did. This brought some happiness to her. Someone liked her already! The male interrupted her thoughts with words of his own, though.
Now, you both want to go to the Romneya Republic?
She nodded fiercly. "Yes, I do!" Dakota did really want to join the pack. It sounded wonderful, living with friends among friends. She missed her sister, too, and wanted somthing to fill the void.

Roxeyn stared down Obi, his terror beginning to subside as the larger male gradually backed off. It seemed that he had been dragged into this situation unnecessarily; even if he had planned on joining the Romneya Republic, it almost seemed like the decision had been made for him. He had never been much into large groups. Just how many wolves were in this pack? However, the idea of an all lyxxus pack appealed to the youngster. He never had the opportunity to bond with others outside his family. Perhaps that was the underlying cause of his shyness.
Roxeyn nodded his head slowly as Dakota did the same. "I suppose so," he spoke in a hushed tone. "The name's Roxeyn." He smiled slightly, letting a sliver of his more mischevious side show. He was not shy to the core; there was a lot to the little male beneath the surface. Maybe I can find out more about these wolves from the inside of a pack. Strategically, it is not only safer, but much more convenient to move about the territory without the threat of being attacked with every step, he pondered. With each passing second, this Romneya Republic was sounding better and better.
Roxeyn glanced at Obi, his gaze now fixated with curiousity. "Could you take us to meet your leaders? What are they called... Alpha?" he inquired, unsure of himself. He knew pack hierarchy differed from region to region, and he had never lived in a pack to begin with, so Roxeyn was rather sketchy on pack dynamics. It was good to know that Dakota would be nearby, too, so there would be at least one familiar face in a sea of new wolves. "I suppose the idea is one to toy with," he whispered to himself, a smile smile playing on his muzzle.

Obi chuckled, his head moving in to rest on his chest. He got up and looked at the two of them. "They are called Consuls. They are elected into place." He grinned again. "Though I don't think meeting Keely right now would be the greatest idea. She's one of the Consul." He turned and looked over the grass.
Obi pondered with the idea of bringing them back with him. They obviously wanted to join. "Probably Fyodor." Obi muttered to himself. "The other Consul." Obi quickly corrected himself turning to look back at the small Lyxxi. He chortled at the thought of bringing them back.
"Alrighty then," Obi started, he motioned with his tails for the Lyxxi to follow. "Let's go meet the pack, shall we?" He started to pick his way back to the pack. He realized that he would now have to do his rounds all over again. Sighing, he motioned for them to keep up.

Dakota was releived when the little pup more or less agreed. She liked Roxeyn, he was young and adorable and friendly enough. The big Lyxxus looked like he was having an arguement with himself. JD found this almost funny, and had to suppress an amused giggle. But he turned back to them at that moment.
Alrighty then, let's go meet the pack, shall we?
Then he started walking away. Realising it was time to leave, she began to follow. "Come on." She called behind her, to the pup. She did not want to leave him behind. Coming up to walk beside him, but not in front of him, she walked just about by his shoulder. "Wait!" She said. "What's your name?" He had not told them his name yet, and she wanted to know.

The little male was puzzled. What exactly was a Consul? Roxeyn looked at Obi, a blank expression on his face. He would ask later; right now he was excited that he had not been killed or attacked at the very least by this new wolf. He listened to the wolf mumble to himself. Listening, he caught the name Keely thrown out. He smiled to himself, wondering why this Keely would not be able to meet them. Fyodor, I wonder if that is one of the Consuls of this pack, he thought, though he could not bring himself to ask. It was only seconds after when the male corrected himself. However, Obi still scared the young one stiff, and he was not about to speak to him unless asked a direct question.
"Alrighty then, let's go meet the pack, shall we?"
Roxeyn froze. Other wolves? Lots of other wolves? In a flash he was at Dakota's side, peering up at her with his vibrant purple eyes. "We going?" he asked softly, urged forward by Dakota as she walked after the male. They were all larger than him; would it always be this way? Was he doomed to be little for the rest of his life? And where were the wolves of this pack at right now anyways? What was Obi doing out here by himself? Dozens of questions rushed through Roxeyn's head, but he could not muster the courage to vocalize any of his concerns.
With a light trot, Roxeyn bounced after the other wolves. He was pleased that Dakota was walking beside him, not leaving him back to trip along by himself. It was good to have found a friend. Now if only he knew what was ahead of them.

His name? Obi felt like digging a hole and hiding in it. How could he have forgotten about his name! Obi turned back to them, holding his head and tails high, hoping his embarrassment didn't show.
"I'm Obi." He cleared his throat. "A Centurion for the Romenya Republic." He looked at the smaller she wolf. "Well then, now shall we start to head out?"

Iris headed through the grass, standing with difficulty on her back legs she peered over the tall grass, her eyes fixed on a shape in the distance

Woah there! River; your character still needs to be accepted before you can post. This thread will take a hiatus until your character Iris is accepted.
