Heat beat down on the waters, but the wind blew a bit, causing ripples to form across the water. Below the surface lurked a pretty creature. Her serpent-like tail lashed in the deep depths, sending her through the water easily. Her front paws moved to help her maneuver through the water more easily. She was quite odd looking, but she was beautiful. And, she was hunting. Hiding in the kelp, she was able to surprise attack a school of fish and scored a nice one. Making her way toward shore, she sank to the sandy ground to eat the delicious fish. When her meal was finished, she made her way to shore. Of course, she could sing below the water, but she didn't want to. In fact, she preferred the sounds of the ocean as she sang. So, climbing out of the water took a good, long while. When she finally reached land, she waited for her tail to turn into hind legs.

Finally, she was able to sit down and sing a lovely song. Lyrics belted out of her maw:

I often close my eyes
And I can see you smile
You reach out for my hand
And I'm woken from my dream
Although your heart is mine
It's hollow inside
I never had your love
And I never will

As she sang, her silvery blue orbs closed, making her a bit easy to attack. Luckily, she knew the area and knew the dragons wouldn't be about soon. The wind blew, whipping her golden fur around. She'd forgotten to cover herself in mud, thus causing her to look like the animal she was. A Cael wolf. But, even if she'd hidden the odd colors of green, blue, and gold, her voice could only be that of a Cael wolf. She paused in her singing to look out into the cove, inhaling the scent of water and sea. A smile slipped across her lips as she opened her mouth again to sing more:

And every night
I lie awake
Thinking maybe you love me
Like I've always loved you
But how can you love me
Like I loved you when
You can't even look me straight in my eyes

Her voice raised several octaves, becoming almost ear shattering. Luckily, no one else was around. that she was aware, anyhow. Kataara slipped into a memory of her mother singing to her as a pup. Her specks closed once more as she remembered the smell and feel of her mother's fur on her. Water touched her front paws, causing her to jump back. It wasn't time to go back into the waters yet. Her song wasn't finished. "Not just yet, lovely waters." She stepped back several paces, reaching the rocks. "I have to finish my song, first." She smiled, belting out even more lyrics, this time for the cove itself. While she sang, she glanced around half-heartedly.

Poseidon was walking around Yvit Cove for some thinking time, when he heard a wolf singing. It was belting notes that couldn't have come from anything on this planet, so he knew it must be a Cael wolf. He peeked through the rocks. He recognized the Cael wolf singing, and just as he was about to jump throuh the rocks, her voice got very high. It suddenly got even higher, and Pos started rolling on the ground in pain. He started howling.

Her song was interrupted by a howling of another wolf. She glanced around, searching for the source. When she found it, she whined in a normal wolf tone. "I am terribly sorry for that. I guess I should watch my tone. Up north I never had to worry about other wolves." She coughed and looked away from the brute, her silvery gaze sneaking a peak at the lovely waters. Oh how she enjoyed them. And how she wished to be in them. It was safer to sing under water anyhow, but she didn't like to, since other creatures couldn't hear her lovely voice. Her attention returned to the other wolf and she gave a small nod. "I'll be more careful, promise. How are your ears?"

[poseidon]

After the ringing stopped, he heard the other wolf ask him something. "Quite fine, actually, thank you." Pos got up and shook his head. It was a beautiful day, the waves making a pretty sloshing sound, and the smells, oh the smells ! Pos dived into the water and grabbbed a fish. He poked his head up. "Coming?" He asked with a smile on his face. "By the way, your singing's beautiful."

Watching the Keiyou wolf dive into the water, Kat didn't really know what to think. She blinked her silver-blue orbs a few times before nodding. "I suppose. I was going to finish my song, but if you want to swim with a Cael...And thank you, by the way. I try to sound beautiful." She slipped into the cool Cove, her hind legs disappearing, leaving a beautiful rainbow-like tail behind. She swam over to the other wolf quickly, circling him beneath the dark blue waters. Then, she popped her head up directly in front of him, grinning. "I don't think I've ever met a Keiyou who's enjoyed the water before. Pleasure to meet you. I'm Kataara Ranit Ula. But you may call me Kataara." Blinking once, she swam away from him a bit, because she was beginning to have space issues. The water was a place of freedom, being in someone else's personal bubble wasn't her favorite thing to do.

The heat from the sun felt great against her golden head. Kat's ears flickered, sending tiny droplets of water into the air. She stayed above water easily, since she could float well with a beautiful tail. "How did you become such a good swimmer, sir?" she questioned lightly, rolling onto her back and just floating there. Her inner mind told her to be careful, he may lie to her. But, she was more worried about him turning on her. Which, could happen. Who knew with different wolf species. One second they could be fine, the next...well...the next moment could sometimes get ugly.

"I am Poseidon Adolf Tritonus, but you can call me Poseidon, or Pos, for short. I realized the first time I swam that my wings get wet, but I don't care, so I swim a lot." The water was nice and cool, with lots of fish swimming around, of all shapes and sizes. It smelled salty, just the way he liked it. Poseidon dived and swam around. He saw a blind serpent, and some coral. He swam back up and laughed. "I love the water!"

"Say, haven't I seen you before? Somewhere else?" Pos asked, tilting his head. He bit into his fish and smiled. He offered her some. "I live with a pack in the tundra. But I think I've seen you somewhere." He waited for an answer and ate some more fish.

As the Cael listened to the Keiyou, she couldn't help but laugh. She'd never, ever met a different species that loved the water. Ever. "Pleasure to meet you. I don't think we've ever met. I used to live deep in the Ivare Tundra. But that was a few years ago. Even if we met, it was probably briefly. Who knows, honestly." Kat sighed, a yawn slipping from her mouth. "And if you so much as ask me to join your pack, I think I might just have to attack you now. By the way, keep an eye on those blind serpent, they're not exactly friendly sometimes." A dark laugh echoed around the cove. Then, Kataara was gone again, beneath the waters. A few notes were sung by her before she resurfaced. "If you're in a pack, why aren't you with them? When I lived with my family, we never went anywhere completely alone. Unless there are more of you in on shore..." She sent a quick glance toward the shore. Her northern accent was fairly stong, since she was talking more than normal. Actually, it was a surprise she wasn't singing instead of speaking. Kat hummed a bit, spinning around in a circle as she kept an eye on her new acquaintance.

[poseidon]

"No, no, just me. I'm a wanderer, too, so I venture off when I need to think. I'm the messenger in my pack, so my excuse is to go check for messages." He flashed her a toothy grin. "I love land, air, and sea, so the rank fits me. Are you in a pack?"

Pos dove under the water again and touched the coral. It was beautiful. He had seen so much in so little time, he didn't even have time to slow down. He remembered he ahd to breath, and went back up for air. He jumped up in the air and slammed into the water. He giggled like a little girl, and waited for her to react and respond.
