We are golden!

Here's the deal:
"Yo yo yo" This is lovely Lissom
"Hola mi amigos" And dat is Lilt

A sharp thump broke the serene silence of the meadow. A few small animals that had been nibbling on the weeds quickly fled the area. "Lissom?" Called a sweet voice, belonging to a large white pelted creature with long feathery wings. "Lissom?" The voice repeated, sounding distraught. "Heh heh heh" Came a low cackle from high up. The white wolf jumped and her wings fluttered bringing her twenty feet up in the air. Once she had calmed down she slithered clumsily to the ground and struggled to her feet. A black wolf came spiraling gracefully down, and landed perfectly beside the white one. "Very graceful Lil" The black wolf named Lissome taunted. The white wolf, called Lilt growled "I wish you wouldn't do that Liss!" Lissome was unphased, "stop complaining, the weather is fine and the prey is rich!" Lilt paused for a moment before agreeing ruefully, "Yes, I suppose you have found a nice place."

CASSARISSA

‘Oh Miss Cassarissa!’ The voice called to her in a sing songy tone. Of course this was all in her head, so someone around might pass and see the tawny colored wolf flinching everytime the sadistic voice talked to her, they’d think she was quite the odd being. Of course she was, but having a soul that conflicted your own living inside your head tended to do that to the strongest of people and unfortunately Cassarissa was not the strongest of critters. She was moving in a slow pace, the she-wolf tended to have a bouncy sorta almost slinking walk, but if you got her out of the shy timid state her gait was quite beautiful and very fluid. Now it was a fluid bouncy, if there were such a thing then that would define her gait.

She was in the Connewa Meadow, it was really pretty and she was trying to find the river, she didn’t expect to run into anyone or anything for that matter. If anything she was praying to the gods that she wouldn’t encounter anyone near by. ’CHICKEN!’ The voice finally screamed at her, she flinched, but she had a retort this time.

“Shut up.”

‘Very nice retort.’ The lioness’s voice said, the words were dripping with sarcasm and laced with venom. Cassarissa knew the lioness was right, if Cass couldn’t even stand up to the voice in her head she was weak and a chicken. She would never be able to stand up to another creature, that she knew, if she couldn’t stand up to something that was apart of her she could never stand up to something that was physically there and could physically abuse her. Perhap’s that’s where her problems come from, the verbal abuse she received from her old pack and the physical abuse that also came in different ways.

Suddenly she found that since she wasn’t paying attention she had walked right into an area that was already occupied by two other wolves. She froze, lowering her body to the ground in hopes that she might be hidden, but she knew she had already been seen, she straightened up to her full height, 26 inches and prayed they weren’t planning on being vicious.

"Lil! Look" Hissed Lissome, her beetle bright eyes glittering with malice, "A wolf! And a weak on by the looks of it!" Lilt turned to her sister and gave her a stern look, "Quiet Liss, can't you see it's frightened?" Lissome made a move to advance on the wolf but her sister growled warningly, "don't bother her Liss." Lissome glared balefully at her sister, ignoring this Lilt continued "Well lets go and see what's wrong, she looks upset" Lissome made a gagging noise, "speak for yourself Lil,I'm gonna find a nice tree and throw up." Lilt payed no attention to this and Lissome muttering faintly about how she didn't even think she was related, launched into the air, spreading her dull maroon wings and vanished over the trees in a matter of minutes. "She'll feel better once she's killed something."Lilt predicted darkly before approaching the wolf. Hello She began kindly, I'm Lilt!

CASSARISSA

The surroundings were pretty quiet, apparently the two wolves had scared off whatever critters might have been here before they had come to this area. Cass didn’t mind that at all though, it just meant less dangers to her, of course the voice had a comment on this, she just tuned it out. The soft wind that seemed to blow through shook the leaves as she stayed at a dead stand still, her mind worrying and making her more scared. This wasn’t something that should make anyone stress out but unfortunately it had been sprung on her unexpectedly and when things happened unexpectedly her reactions were more higher up on the unusual scale. If she did something that would put her in that situation she could react a bit calmer.

Cassarissa heard one of the females faintly, unable to comprehend fully what they were saying, but she had to assume it wasn’t something she really wanted to hear, the lioness in her head was streaming angry words at her fear and this just heightened Cass’s stress levels. Then the bigger one jumped up and flew overhead, instantly Cass closed her eyes tightly and ducked out of shock from being startled. Then a soothing voice came from in front of her, Cass cautiously opened her eyes when she saw there were no predators she stood up. The voice laughing viciously in her head.

“Hello…” Her shaky voice spoke, she swallowed some of the fear and tried to sound stronger and look less weak. “Im Cassarissa, pleasure to meet you.” She said, her voice was much more like a tune this time, but still held the sharp edge of fear. “Im sorry for intruding, if youd like ill be right on my way and out of your hair, its just I was looking for the river is all.” She quieted as she realized that she was rambling. “Sorry…” She said softly.

’Pathetic.’ The voice said viciously, Cass fought the urge to flinch from the insult but she knew better, she had to appear normal in front of others, or at least as normal as was possible. ’You’ll never be normal, or even semi-normal.’ The voice said in a condescending tone, this time Cass didn’t even have to fight the urge, it didn’t come, she was falling back into the routine of being around other people. She ignored the voice just as easily as she did breathing, unfortunately that was how familiar the lioness’s remarks were to her.

Lilt cocked her head, "there's no need to be afraid!" She assured the tawny animal. "If it's a river you're wanting then it's right over there!" She gestured lazily with her wing. Suddenly something occurred to her, this wolf was likely to meet her charming sister Lissome if she went to far on her own. "I might as well come with you." She began carefully, "I've been needing to get a drink, and" she added after a pause, "my sister isn't to friendly with strangers, so you might want backup if you meet her!" She gave a trilling laugh although her sharp blue eyes gave off some of her worry about this wolf. Everything about her screamed frightened, and Lissome's preferred prey was anything that feared her. She was like a particularly sadistic cat, she liked to play with her food. Lilt forced the less than friendly feelings about her sister to the back of her mind. She owed Lissome so much.

CASSARISSA

Cassarissa glanced around frightened, the soothing voice of the female did little too sooth her, even when she told Cass that there was nothing to be afraid of, Cass knew this but unfortunately logic didn’t rule her actions. Cassarissa was nervous and it seemed that she breathed fear, of course that wasn’t true as it was physically impossible to breath fear, but you could definitely smell like fear. Though as the female kept going on, she seemed like no threat and Cass found herself slowly letting some of the fear out of her mind and body, it would be good for Cass to relax when near another critter, especially one of a very similar species, well of the wolf origin anyways. Lilt as she called herself was a Keiyou, Cass was a Myou, meaning she had a second soul, where her second soul happened to be a particularly aggressive Lioness. It was a constant battle for control over the body, thankfully one Cass tended

Then thankfully the female pointed Cass in the right direction, then seemed more than ready to let her be on her own little way, until she remembered something, or well that was what it seemed like. Cassarisa knew the change in her was slight, but she knew it well enough because it occurred in Cass every day. There was a fear in her trilling tone and laugh, but it wasn’t fear for herself it was more of a seeming fear for Cass. Cassarissa’s nerves shot and she glanced around cautiously. Though she tried to let herself stay relatively calm in hopes that maybe nothing would happen, but unfortunately staying calm was an art Cass had never mastered. She did okay for the time being, nodding her head in one swift motion and moving alongside the wolf. “Yea that’d be wonderful.” She said, her voice normal and timid despite the quivering chilling bones feeling.

’YES! Time to party!’ The lioness’s voice cried excitedly inside, Cass could tell that the lioness expected a fight and Cass had no qualms about letting the lioness take over her body when and if a fight broke out. That wasn’t exactly Cass’s weak spot, its just she knew when it was better to let the reflexes and instincts of the lioness take over her body, fighting was one of those times. Cass had extremely good agility, though her strength wasn’t the best she was fast and she had a lot of endurance, what she lacked in brawn she made up for in the brain.

Lilt smiled slightly, she didn't want to worry the female, but her sister in a vile moon was not something she wanted this delicate wolf to encounter. Lissome won't dare attack when I'm around. Lilt told herself firmly. "Lets go!" She cried musically. Lilt pushed herself a few feet into the air flapping her mist colored wing. "Oops!" She realized suddenly, fluttering gracefully back to the ground, "sorry, I'm used to traveling with Lissome."

Lilt smiled quizzically back at the Myou and wondered idly what type of soul she possessed. Could it be something small and nervous. Could that be the reason for the wolf's fear. Lilt wanted to ask, but it felt rude.

What would it be like to share my body with another animal? She questioned herself. Would I feel so lonely? Lilt smiled sadly thinking of wayward Lissome, she loved her sister but she was a handful.
