 Calan ran faster through the trees, her twin tails straight out behind her. Dodging around a tree, she pounced, pinning the squirming jackalope to the ground. Her claws sliced through its leathery neck easily, and it was dead in a matter of seconds. Her teeth ripped through the animal, Calan's stomach growling furiously as it tried to take it as much food as possible. She twitched her tail and finished the job off soon after, the carcass left on the dirt for the birds and insects. Her small frame leapt through the trees once more because she didn't want to stay in one spot for too long. This was pack territory, if she remembered right, and they might not be too happy about her hunting- nonetheless being- on their territory. The most she could ask for was to get away with a swat off the head, if she was caught. The chill wind picked up, and she could smell other wolves in it. Luckily, being downwind of them, they wouldn't notice her scent. However, that didn't mean they wouldn't notice her tracks. She picked up speed, bounding in great leaps and strides if an obstacle was in her way. She had no sense of where she was heading except for away from the wolves. A felled tree came up in front of her and she leapt, high, higher, higher, and... Thud. She hit the bark of the tree, her legs not having been able to clear the height, and tumbled over to land on top. Such was the life of the small wolves, she thought bitterly. Testing her paw on the bark, she nearly yelped for the pain. "Great. Just fricking great. How the hell am I s'posed to get outta here now?!" This last word was yelled, echoing in the dreary trees.

A little way off, past a few dozen trees, was a wanderer. Obviously alone, but certainly not lonely, this wolf moved quickly through the woods. He was white, orange, pink, and finally, blue. There was a wind blowing in his bright face, and long antennae rippled like feild grass in the air. This strange creature was a Sennyo, and his name was Channon.
---
My voice rang out in the Heimili Forest. I spoke jibberish, relatively nothing at all, but rambled on in a song that didn't make much sense.
"You found a sweater on the ocean floor! They're gonna find it if you didn't close the door!" Here, I stopped and quinted my eyes up in thought. I forgot the words to the song. "Um...uh...well," I bent his torso down to the forest floor, stretching, "no matter. I'll think up my own song." I never did. Making up songs was very hard actually. As soon as a little made-up tune worked its way into my head, I smelled something.
It was faint, because the wind was against me. It carried my scent upwind, and anything I did smell was lost pretty soon. I lifted my muzzle in the air and flared my nostrils. I couldn't catch it, the scent. Suddenly, the wind picked up, and it tickled my nose. I let out a giggle that tickled my throat and dropped my face between my paws, waving my fluffy tail. I shook my head and straightened up. No. I stamped my paw. I'm looking for that scent, whatever it was.
I ran off. After stumbling over a few logs I had overlooked, tumbling into some thorn bushes I hadn't seen, and stubbing my paws on rocks, I found something. Well, someone.
It was weird.
They were...kind of...stuck...on a log. They were small, smaller than me. And they were...female. Ok, now I could call her 'she'. She had something in her mouth, it was furry and smelled real good and made my mouth water. It sniffed at this female.
"Are you stuck?" I asked her with a smirk and a chuckle. Then I relaized how rude she might've taken that. Before she could say anything to me, I pawed at her muzzle to keep her quiet. "No, no, no, I'm sorry. I meant, do you need help?" I cocked my head to the side. "You must be stuck." I wondered if she was ok. Maybe she was resting. What if she broke something?!? "You clipped anywhere?" I questioned her quickly. "Splinters? You bleeding? You hurt?" ----------------------------------- OOC: Channon was singing Cousins, by Vampire Weekend ----------------------------------- |

Tiatsu flew slowly over the forest trees, blue eyes half closed, black and white fur rippling in the wind. He supposed he must have cut a rather impressive sight, if not the fact that he was rather... small. Tiatsu was only a year and about two thirds, young to be by himself. Not that it bothered him. Rather much, he enjoyed the freedom of being young and packless. It gave him a feeling of invincibility.
He tucked his wings in, dropping the hundred or so feet into the dense trees. He could smell a pack somewhere around here, but he wasn't concerned. Why should he be? He was Tiatsu Keeper child of Dust! His mother was never afraid of anything, why should he be scared? He landed lightly, strutting about with his white-tipped tail in the air. Everything about him bespoke of confidence and airy indifference.
He leaped over a small puddle, catching his reflection in its still depths as he flashed overhead. His face was all black on the right side, with a single white splotch above his eye. In contrast, the left half of his face was white with a black splotch. From his waist down he was black, save for the white tip of his tail. He was, in effect, a living yin-yang, the mark of which he bore on his chest. But then he cleared the puddle, and he could see himself no longer.
Suddenly he heard voices ahead. His ears twitched forward, he sniffed the air. A male and a female. Mates? He crept forward, sighting the pair. A lyxxus by the look of one, and a... Tiatsu froze. A Sennyo. Why did the sight of it fill him with fear? Ah! Now he remembered! The scent of that crazy old bat of a Sennyo had been around the place he and his mother had been separated. That made sense.
Steeling his courage, Tiatsu strut forward, looking disapprovingly at the Sennyo and winking at the Lyxxus.
"Any trouble here?" he said in his gravely yet somehow musical voice. He saw that the Lyxxus appeared to have gotten hurt, and bent down to inspect her paw, "Ah! I see! Run into something to hard?"
He decided it was best to ignore the Sennyo, deciding he was probably just as shady and insane as the one who had made his mother disappear. They were all a shady bunch, the Sennyos. He didn't trust any of them.
He sat down, wings half-folded to his back, and placed a paw on his chest, "My name is Tiatsu, it's nice to meet you," he said cordially, "I know a few tricks for helping a broken paw heal quickly, if you need it."

(I warn you two, she can be a bit of a witch when she's not in a good mood)
Calan swallowed the small bit of meat she had been carrying with her while she ran, trying to save it for later. Now, though, it looked like she'd been caught. A Sennyo had appeared in front of Calan while she was testing her paw, and she cursed herself for her stupidity. He asked if she was stuck, and she felt her lip curl in annoyance. Of course I'm stuck you stupid brute! Why else would I be here?! she wanted to say. Before she got the chance, however, the Sennyo pawed at her muzzle to keep her quiet.
"No, no, no, I'm sorry. I meant, do you need help?" the strange wolf asked, proceeding to observe her state of being 'stuck'. "You clipped anywhere? Splinters? You bleeding? You hurt?"
Calan rolled her head back, glaring at the Sennyo frustratingly.
"First of all, it's obvious that I'm stuck, so you can stop stating that fact, thank you very much. Secondly, I do not need any help! I can get down just find by myself, thanks." Calan jumped off the log with a wince, but her landing wasn't quite what she had been aiming for. Her weak ankle forced her to lurch forward, her muzzle going into the dirt and her bottom held high. She yelped, then growled, and continued to sit and inspect her paw. Keeping her back turned to the Sennyo, she thought maybe he would go away. I'd been in a perfectly good mood today, and I just had to go and get myself injured. Then this one shows up! No sooner had those words entered her head than she saw a shadow fall upon the ground.
Calan looked up as the winged wolf spoke. Any trouble here? Run into something hard? The words grated at her ears some, and at her temper even more. She didn't want to cause a brouhaha by getting into it with these two, but there was nothing that could prevent her from letting her annoyance show.
Trying to calm down, she took a deep breath and said slowly, "Yes, I did run into something hard. Now if you will pardon me for my rudness earlier and for leaving, I'll be on my way." Her voice was stiff as she spoke, standing up and favoring her hurt paw. She was about to move forward when the wolf spoke.
"My name is Tiatsu, it's nice to meet you. I know a few tricks for helping a broken paw heal quickly, if you need it."
She stopped in her tracks, ears perked. With a sigh, she sat down and faced the other two. "Fine. I'll accept your help. Just don't expect us to be friends or anything."

She yelled at me. I didn't understand why she was so angry at me. I was only trying to help... Heehee, it was probably only because she was in so much pain. When I get tummy aches, I get cranky, so I understand! She tried to get off the log, but fell. I wanted to help, but I didn’t want to get yelled at again either, so I sat back and watched. At least I'd be here in case anything worse happened.
She sat up o look herself over. She wasn't facing me. I didn’t know why. Was I ugly? Did I stink? I started sniffing at myself. No, I smelled like the woods, pretty much, so... Maybe it was just how she got up. Maybe she didn't mean not to be facing me, she just was. Suddenly, there was this shadow, and it flew right over me. I didn’t' know what it was so I ducked and held back a frightened scream. the she-wolf seemed calm, so I tried to stay just as calm as her.
That thing that flew over us landed near us. It was a wolf. And, oh goodies, he had wings! How cute! They were so big and so cute! I straitened up and was about to smile at him when he gave me this...look. His eyes froze my blood and his silence chilled my body. Why was he looking at me like that? Ok, now I must really stink.
Now I was feeling kinda left out. She-wolf didn’t seem to care much for me and the cool guy with wings thought I stunk. I didn’t think it was fair that she was still in pain and talked to the wolf with wings better than she talked to me. She had yelled at me. So I didn’t listen as they talked and I didn’t pay attention. Until she-wolf stood up, saying something about going all by herself. I stood up, ready to follow her. She couldn’t leave on her own, it was dangerous out here! What if something came to get her? How could she run? I tilted my head. Maybe she could roll...
The other guy said his name was Tiatsu. I said my name was Channon, but he didn’t even twitch an ear at the sound of m voice. Oh well... And he said he could help make she-wolf's paw all better and stuff. I smiled. Now she had no choice but to stay! She stopped walking and returned to her spot with us. My tail started wagging.
Maybe we could all get to know each other and stuff! Maybe we could all go on an adventure!
