[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/dback-5.jpg] [scrolly:h(410),w(350),sy)] The little hybrid hopped along merrily, as the crisp leaves crepitated beneath her dainty paws. Daffodil was having a wonderful morning, it was early and that great ball of fire, or the sun as her mother had called it, had just risen in the Lumera Valley. Her white fluffy wings hinted at her being a Keiyou, but the vibrant yellow fur and regular wolf tail hinted otherwise. Truthfully, her father, Seth, was a Keiyou and her mother, Kasmira, was a Lupus. She simply hadn't been able to sleep in, and ever since the family walk the other day around the den she'd been itching to go and explore. And so, at the crack of dawn she'd snuck out, her head and tail held high as she set off to explore, unmindful of the consequences. Her mum had said it was fall, and although she wasn't entirely sure what this "fall" thing was, she knew it was getting colder. But her, her parents and her three older brothers were all cozy inside their large hollow log in the Heimlii forest. The sun seemed to smile down at her as she continued on, eagerly running up to sniff just about everything. Her bright green eyes surveyed everything before her little nose, and the green markings on her legs and tail matched Spring's first green. Her fur was a bright yellow, after which the little she-pup was named Daffodil, and her wings a dove white. She couldn't wait for the thing called snow to come, and her mum had described it to them with great excitement, promising they'd be able to go out and play. The hybrid moved on to sniff under a large bush, when to her surprise a small mouse came running out! She let out a yip of excitement, and proceeded to run after it,not actually knowing what she would do if she actually caught it. She tumbled down a small hill, and landed with an oomf! of surprise. Giggling, she looked up, wondering if she'd get to meet any new wolves today. Mum and Da had assured her there were many pack members out there somewhere. She continued on her skipping, humming a little tune to herself: "La la la, snow is comin', mum says, and I'll get to play in it all day, white, fluffy piles of it..." Daffodil sang, unsuspecting that if her parents did wake up and find her gone, they might be more than a little worried.... [/scrolly]

He knew as soon as the flowers bloomed again he and his other siblings would be able to learn to start flying. His chocolate laced legs bounded forward as he landed in a clearing. Where had she gone? Wystar wouldn't let his family be risked all out on their own. "Daff!Where'dya go?!Come on out!"He took a playful pose. Glancing around for his brightly colored sister. How was he supposed to protect her if she snuck out and hid away from them? He would show her. After all he is the biggest and bestest wolf ever! Nothing stands a chance against Wystar! He began to sniff around for the other yellow hybrid, making loud noise as he crunched the falling leaves below his large paws. His purple tail swung playfully in the chilling breeze as he continued his search for his little sister. Being the older brother wasn't always easy when you had silly younger sisters running around by themselves. He looked up to the sun once more before glancing around the scenery the valley held.

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/dback-5.jpg] [scrolly:h(410),w(350),sy)] The little pup was so absorbed with her singing and daydreams that she didn't even see her older brother until... POOF! She stumbled into him, and momentarily frightened she fluffed her wings and backed up, surprised, until she realized it was just Wyst. The yellow furball walked up to lick him playfully on the neck, and Daffodil wagged her tail. She looked at it for a moment, wondering why it was that way: She had wings like her father, and colors like her mother, but shouldn't she have a long thing tail like her beloved Da? It confused her for a moment, before she focused on something else: Daffodil had a bit of a short attention span sometimes... "C'mon Wyst, we're gonna explore today! I wanna find the river that Mum told us about!" she skipped off, a bright patch of white, green and yellow in the bleak early winter. She was sure that if they found the river, they'd have whole bunches of fun. She wondered if Luke or Thorn would join them sometime... [/scrolly]

She wouldn't get that far! Not with Wystar chasing her! He bounded over the chilling valley floor. Weather changes were weird, but everything would grow and change. So would Wystar. He could imagine it now, clear as day. His broad and thick muscles as he soared through the whipped clouds and formed them to his liking. Wyst was fully prepared to be a big and strong grown adult now! Why did he have to wait? Why did he have to be so small? Wystar traveled ahead of his little sister. Determined to race her up the ravine and towards a sloping hill that would surely lead to the river Daff and their mom had spoken about. Yes, it would be a long and hard journey for a pup... but wystar was positive he could do it. Nothing would stop him from reaching his goal! As he panted, slowly approaching the top, he gasped as he rolled down it's steep overside. Had the pup gone the wrong way afterall? He yelped and cried out as he hopelessly tried to spread his wings and slow his rolling body. "Daff! Mom! I'm falling! I can't stop!" He whimpered but quickly gained a determined composure as he called out to Daff."Daff, whatever you do... don't go all the way to the top! Go get mom or dad she will know what to do! Don't worry about me! I'll be okay-" The purple pup landed hard on a jutting out rock that penetrated the slope. He blacked out, unable to finish his statement. He just hoped Daff would not be stilly enough to try and save him herself, and go get help.[/scrolly]	[scrolly:h(100),w(100),sy][/scrolly]

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/kback-4.jpg] [scrolly:h(308), w(340),sy] Kasmira slowly opened one eye, and then the next, bright green orbs peering sleepily around their den: Sleeping around the lupus was her family of six, with her beloved mate Seth, Luke, Thorn and... Suddenly the sleep rushed out of her eyes and she bolted out, ears and eyes alert: Where could little Daffodil and Wystar be? She sniffed around the den for a moment, and caught their scent heading towards the river: The mother's eyes widened. Thoughts of drowning, strange wolves and nasty aquatic creatures reached her mind, and she hesitated for a split second. Should I wake Seth up to tell him? The storyteller glanced at his peaceful form, and decided he deserved some rest after his hard day of patrolling yesterday, and besides, someone needed to watch Luke and Thorn. The vibrant purple she-wolf knew that it could take more time to find her pups if she just used scent alone, and decided to use another one of her powers. She bent low to the frosted earth, and tuned in to her element's sound: she could hear the scampering of tiny bugs, and a small pack of jackaloppe not far off. Migratory birds rousting in trees and a male stag most likely in the forest. But soon her powers of earth listening picked up two familiar little heartbeats and voices: She knew where they were now. She set off on a sprint, running as fast as she could, her instincts pushing her on. I'd never live with myself if anything happened to them... Kasmira thoughts anxiously. She lept over a small boulder and continued on her race against time. In a matter of minutes, or seconds, anything could happen to her little winged pups. Finally she burst into a small clearing, her eyes frantically searching. She jogged over to her only daughter, Daffodil, and licked her, checking her for any harm: She breathed a sigh of relief. She was fine. "Are you okay, Dill? Sweetheart, where's your brother? " Kasmira asked, looking around worriedly. Surely Wystar had followed her? Dill looked at the ravine near them, and Kasmira gently picked her up by the scruff of her neck, wanting to keep her near. She placed her a safe distance away, but near enough to keep an eye on her. She bent down, on her belly, to glance down: There lay a small, purple and brown bundle, lying very still. "Wystar, honey? It's mum... Can you hear me?" she called to him. There was no reply. He must be out cold... she thought to herself. There was another possibility, but she couldn't even bring herself to think about that right now. She used vines to gently entwine themselves around her pup and they rose out of the ravine to deposit him at her feet. She could feel his heartbeat, but a nasty gash was on one side of him. She concentrated, and began her healing process, as the gash began to heal and mend itself. She filled his little body with her healing energy of earth and light, but most of all, love. She stopped, and all that was left was an unconscious puppy. She gathered Dill near, and began to sing a song her mother had taught her when she was a pup: "I love you darling, be safe now, you're fine, Sleep all you need but come back soon, be kind..." she sang in a gentle, lulling voice. It wasn't as musical as a Cael's, but certainly beautiful. She licked her pups, and waited for him to awake. [/scrolly]

Muahahaha! Nah, sorry about the wait kas @_@ other characters are demanding my undivided attention lately <_< shame on you nautic and crow!] The small pup heaved as his breathing began to regulate... his little eyes opening to see his mother's blurry form hovering over him as she sang in a sweet melodic tone. Where was he? What happened? He slowly sat up and tried to stand but fell over as he rubbed his head with his front forepaws. He stood again, successfully this time, and went to nuzzle her and feel her warmth. As he spoke he took in her soft and milky scent. "Oh mommy.... I never wanna miss you ever again!" The chocolate laced pup whined. Wystar shook his pelt as he blinked and peered over at Daff. He was hoping she didn't see him being all lovey dovey to mum. He was a growing male and the last thing he needed was his little sister going off and telling everyone he was a mommy's boy! He quickly trotted up to Daff and tackled her to the ground, hearing the sweet melody his mother sang. He paused as he tempted to nip at her playfully... turning to his mum and staring in awe at her glistening form, and her beautiful voice. "Wow, mommy! That's a pretty song... where did you get it from?" [/scrolly]	[scrolly:h(100),w(100),sy][/scrolly]
