[atrb=background,http://i930.photobucket.com/albums/ad144/FallArrow/RHIANNONbg4.png] Rhiannon had woken early that morning, curled up against Forte's stomach. She fit quite easily in the little crook, her jaws resting on his paw as she slept. But soon the chirping of birds, and the rising of the sun brought her resting mind back to reality, and she opened her eyes, staring out from the little cave that they were in. She rose, stretching her legs out, careful not to wake the sleeping yagi beside her and padded lightly toward the spring in the cave. Leaning her face down she lapped up a few mouthfuls of water, before exiting the cave. Below was the raging waters of the river, and she glanced down, a bit dizzy, and then moved towards the staircase. Bounding down the steps, she had to stop in a few places to settle her stomach, which seemed to be rather churning that morning. She growled, giving her head a shake, and continuing on until she reached the river. Wading into it until it was just under her belly, she lowered her face in, wetting her muzzle completely and trying to make the overwhelming sense of nausea succumb. Caedmon was barely alert and merely sat in her mind quite quietly, only adding every so often to the morning. I feel like shit, the female shot at the second soul, who merely groaned, and then chuckled a bit, saying nothing in response. Rhiannon sighed, taking another gulp of water, and then wandering back towards the rocks, and leaping up them. She had to take them one at a time as she moved back towards the den, half wondering why she even left the cave in the first place. Her lithe movements brought her to the mouth of the cave, and she slipped inside, padding towards Forte, and letting out a slight whine. "Forte. I'm hungry," she whined. Not bothering to see his reaction, she bounced towards the spring once more, diving in and searching for fish in its depths. ------------------------------------- OOC ;; This land is my land... this land is my land... from the rocky canyon, to the raging waters. From the pretty caves, to the battlegrounnnnnds. This land was made for Rhia and Forte. >D

[Fortissimo]

Forte was awoken my Rhia's whining. Or what he thought was Rhia's whining, he could not be sure because by the time he had opened his yellow eyes, Rhia was no where to be found. He groaned, and stretched out his sore muscles. He yawned widely as his made his way to the mouth of the cave, only to yelp in pain and jump back into the darkness of the cave, when he opened his eyes to the bright sunlight. Eyes still watering, Forte cautiously made his way from the cave and searched the canyon for any signs of his new mate.

By the time he had made his way to Rhia, he was still half asleep, and grumpy. "What is this woman?" He said gruffly. "You were capable of catching your own fish just a few days ago, what has changed?" He yawned again, and shook himself. He jumped into the spring with his mate, and sleep was immediately chased from his brain. He surfaced, gasping for air. "My powers are perfectly useless in this situation, your the one who's supposed to be magical..." He moaned.

Wow, Forte can you be more of a woman? Morris chided. You are the Male, the provider in the relationship. Provide!

Forte grunted, and climbed onto the bank, sopping wet. He shook out his long wavy coat, succeeding in making it stick up every which way. "Be back my dear." He called to Rhia, before disappearing up the side of the canyon.

He had been getting tired of his fish diet, so he climbed to the top of the canyon with its sparse vegetation, and few places for prey to hide. In order to funnel prey his way, He conjured a couple of wolves in the distance. They started to snarl and howl and run in opposite directions, toward Forte. A scared jackalope, in the process of running from the shadow wolves, reveled itself to Forte. Forte was after the jackalope in a flash, and with a snap of his jaws, seized the poor creature.

In a few minutes, he was back by the spring, his prize held triumphantly before him.

[atrb=background,http://i930.photobucket.com/albums/ad144/FallArrow/RHIANNONbg4.png] Rhiannon just heard the beginning of Forte's litany as she surfaced from the water. She snorted, lifting a paw and splashing him with water. "I am very capable of doing whatever I want," she hissed, rolling her eyes, and paddling herself towards the shore to send some angry retorts back at him. "And my name is Rhia, not 'woman'. Hmph," she said, turning her tail and bounding back into the water. She didn't feel like making a big stink about the female comment... because in truth, she wasn't even sure anymore. Was she male, or female? Clearly, Caedmon and Forte seemed to think she was a girl. But Rhiannon's brain was altogether in a state of confusion on the matter. "Yeah, well. I don't think being able to ice over things would be of very much use for my screaming belly," she replied, stopping and floating in the water for a moment, staring down to try and see any of the fish beneath her. Forte splashed into the water beside her, finally turning and climbing back out, and shaking himself dry. The way his fur stuck out caused Rhiannon to let out a gurgling laugh, and she rolled over onto her back, chuckling loudly. "Good look for you Moe," she said between fits of laughter, hardly hearing his words as he left. When she finally composed herself and looked up, he was gone. She shrugged, diving back down into the water and looking about with her eyes open. It took her a few moments but soon she found a fish and after stalking it, she was able to seize the wriggling thing in her jaws. Popping back up to the surface, she took a well needed breath and with the fish still wriggling in her mouth, doggy paddled towards the banks, leaping out and shaking off just as Forte had done. The action caused the same effect, fluffing up her already fluffy fur. She dropped the fish and quickly finished it off, eating all save the head. She crunched through the bones too, and had just swallowed the last bit when Forte returned with a dead jackalope between his jaws. "Oh my god Moe, I love you," she said without thinking, lunging at him and grabbing part of the Jackalope which hung from his mouth and attempting to tear it from him, all the while her belly growling rather obnoxiously. ------------------------------------- OOC ;; This land is my land... this land is my land... from the rocky canyon, to the raging waters. From the pretty caves, to the battlegrounnnnnds. This land was made for Rhia and Forte. >D

[Fortissimo]

Forte's eyes widened with Rhia's words, but he hardly had enough time to contemplate her true meaning before she was upon him and their breakfast. He unconsciously clamped down on the Jackalope. The result was tearing the poor thing in half, and spilling it's innards at Forte feet.

Forte looked in surprise at Rhia. "You just had that fish." His words were muffled, because he was talking around half of the Jackalope. He spat it out. "Someone is turning into a Missus Piggy." He laughed, and pushed the rest of the jackalope to Rhia, talking only a haunch for himself. "I'll go get more later." He said to Rhia.

Then he turned his thoughts unto himself. Had she meant what she said? Or was that just the hunger talking in the midst of food. Was he supposed to say it back? What if he didn't and she hated hi for it? But what if she did, and she hadn't meant it....Ugh this was already getting confusing. Would you just chill? Morris said, annoyed at Forte's fevered thoughts.
Forte was sure that he did love Rhia, but how was he supposed to tell her that?

[atrb=background,http://i930.photobucket.com/albums/ad144/FallArrow/RHIANNONbg4.png] Rhiannon barely heard Forte's words as she fell backwards onto her rear, the momentum from him clamping down sending her falling backwards. The myou female quickly began to devour the pieces of jackalope she held, avoiding the bones, and piling them up for later. The piggy comment though she caught, and she glanced up from the jackalope, narrowed her eyes, snorted, and then leapt forward at the other piece, pulling it in between her paws. She lay there with the two pieces of jackalope in between her paws, feasting on the meat and swallowing altogether far too quick to be possible. Finally after her stomach felt much less rumbly, she looked up at him, her amber eyes blinking. "Oh good. I dunno why but I've been so damn hungry lately. Mrr. I wonder what griffin tastes like..." she added, wandering off into thought. She pushed the leftovers of what was the jackalope towards her pile of bones and rose, prancing towards where the organs lay beneath Forte, batting her lashes for a moment before lowering her head and grabbing them in her jaws. She pulled them back to her little 'table', and began to chomp on them, staring at him. "So Moe, whatcha say we claim this piece of land for ourselves? Like, officially. Scare off all the others," she said with a grin, having no idea about the inner turmoil she was causing in his brain. She hadn't even realised what she had said to him, her stomach doing most of the thinking. She knew she did love him, but that was something she'd probably never admit. At least, not if he didn't say it first. ------------------------------------- OOC ;; This land is my land... this land is my land... from the rocky canyon, to the raging waters. From the pretty caves, to the battlegrounnnnnds. This land was made for Rhia and Forte. >D

[Fortissimo]

Forte watched with interest as Rhia gobbled down food. How knew the little female could put all that away. "Are you feeling okay?" He asked, smirking. "And I am not hunting a griffin for you, sorry." He laughed remembering their almost disastrous run with the griffins.

"And of course, my dear. But since I have been here, the only wolf I have come across his you. I'm sure it will be easy to take this land as ours."

He was relieved that she hadn't freaked out on him for not returning the 'I love you.' He figured that it was her hungry stomach that had been talking. Somehow, that made him sad.

[atrb=background,http://i930.photobucket.com/albums/ad144/FallArrow/RHIANNONbg4.png] Rhiannon yawned, licking the blood off her chops as he spoke, pursing her lips for a moment after and thinking. Was she feeling okay? "Well, I was feeling pretty sick earlier, but now I'm just hungry," she replied, and then mock pouted before giggling. "But you're a pro-griffin hunter... and they probably are very tasty." She began to lick her paws, removing all the bits of jackalope from them. "I've smelled a few others, but mostly up on the canyon. I doubt anyone will stand in our way. You, the hallucinogenic yagi, and me the ice weiling lupus... no one will be left alive," she said with a maniacal cackle, then snorted, yawning and standing up, brushing her side against him. "Lets do it now," she said with a half yawn, intending to mean the pack forming part. "I want to take a nap soon. I'm tired," she finished her thought, resting her head on his back. ------------------------------------- OOC ;; This land is my land... this land is my land... from the rocky canyon, to the raging waters. From the pretty caves, to the battlegrounnnnnds. This land was made for Rhia and Forte. >D

[Fortissimo]

"Are you sure your okay?" Forte asked, twisted his neck to look back a Rhia. "I mean we just got up, and already you are tired?" He cocked his head. Somehow this was familiar. The extreme hunger, and tiredness. Forte shrugged it off, and moved back toward the wall.

"Well then, let us form our pack then." And motioned up the wall. "After you may lady."

ooc: sorry, there really isnt much to post. I think this is were Sun should come in.

[tika]

Ti'ka was swimming through the waters as he went to find somthing to do. He was staying around for a bit because he had found a female that had peeked his intrest. He sighed softly as he came above the water, taking in the scents before he found a smell that he knew. He looked around, searching for site of the one that he had met a couple years ago. His silver orbs narrowed and then he saw her. His mouth opened and his tongue came out, as his eel tail started to wagg, making most of his body move in the motion.

"RHIANNON!" He barked as he pulled himself out of the water, shaking his body to try and get dry so he could run over to her. He didnt know the other but Rhiannon was his friend.

[RHIANNON !]

[atrb=background,http://i930.photobucket.com/albums/ad144/FallArrow/RHIANNONbg4.png] "I'm fine, stop being such a worry-wart," she said with a slight snort, leaning her head forward and letting her tongue flop out to lick him straight across the nose. She raised her head a bit, shaking her body very slightly. It was a bit odd, how tired she was, and how voracious her appetite was, but she shrugged it off quite easily. She was probably just doing more, which caused her energy levels to go up, which made her more tired. Right? She pushed the thoughts to the back of her mind, yawning, and trotting off after him. "Oh yes, let's," she said with a giggle, snorting once more and moved towards the outside of the cave. It took her a few minutes to find her footing amongst the watery rocks, but soon she was making her way along the ridge towards the 'staircase'. Finally there, she glanced upwards, looking towards the plateau above. That's where they'd do the claiming; it was the part of the canyon that was most frequented and thus made the most sense. She yawned once more, her pink tongue curling out of her body before clamping her mouth shut. She had taken just one hop up the staircase before she heard her name. She stopped almost mid leap, falling awkwardly onto the stair above her, just finding her paws at the last second. She let out a very loud growl before pivoting around. The voice didn't seem to come from Forte, nor from Kai, so she was curious who knew her name. As well as who dared to startle her while doing such a dangerous activity. Her questions were soon answered as both her amber eyes locked on a waterlogged figure. It only took her a few seconds to recognize the creature as being a cael, and a good whiff of the air to figure out who he was. Ti'ka? Rhiannon stared down at the watery edge, allowing a few moments to completely make sure that the cael was indeed her old childhood friend. They had met up for a little while, back when she was just a lone wanderer, relying on each other for quite some time. But Rhia had left him one night, and so, the fact that he was here stunned her. Quirking a single brow, she glanced over at Forte, trying to gauge his reaction. Finally, she turned down towards her old friend. "Ti'ka? What in the world are you doing here?" ------------------------------------- OOC ;; n/a

[Fortissimo]

Fortissimo wasnt the jealous type. Okay, maybe his was. His new mate was talking to another male, he would be lying if he said that he didn't immediately want to rip out that males throat. They had just come together, so the new insecurities that went along with new relationships had not faded away as the two grew more comfortable with each other.

He saw his mate glance at him, and he was sure she saw the look of anger and hate on his face. And he was suddenly ashamed, so he tried to straighten his furrowed brow, but to no avail. He grumbled and started making his way down the canyon so they could properly talk the fellow, and not shout down like 20 feet.

[KAI ♥]

Kai giigled as she looked on at the three wolves. Rhi, Forte, wow, they were getting close, she could hardly believe that just a few weeks ago they had hated each others guts, and now this? She had heard Rhi say she loved him, but nothing from him. She wondered why, she also wondered if Rhi would sayanything to him about it. When the new male came and startled Rhi she growled lightly, didn't he know that these steps were very dangerous?

She thought back to her first day coming down them when she almost fell. No, if he had known about them being so dangerous he wouldnt' have said anything, so he must have never gotten on them. Right?

Kai made her way down the steps to join Rhi and Forte to greet the male Rhia called Ti'ka. "Hey Rhi!" she whispered to her friend, almost like a mentor since she was so young, and "Forte, good morning?" she asked it like a question instead of saying it.

[tika]

Ti'ka chuckled softly as he got out of the water, moving towards the female and nuzzling her lightly. "its nice to see you to Rhia Rhia." He chuckled and nodded at the other two that showed up. "Hello. I am Ti'ka a old friend of Rhia's nice to meet you." He smiled at the one male that seemed to frown and be mad at him. He laughed softly shaking his head. "Do not worry if she is yours. I have not had any feelings for her in that way." He smiled fondly at the female wolf next to him. "I consider her my sister to tell you the truth."

He turned towards the other female and bowed down to her. "Hello M'lady. Might i have the pleasure of learning the beautiful name that goes with such a magnificent woman?"He looked at the other with his piercing silver eyes. He was just being nice and being his normal self though some would think he was flirting which is what he wasnt doing. He might have found one that he enjoyed spending time with.

[atrb=background,http://i930.photobucket.com/albums/ad144/FallArrow/RHIANNONbg4.png] Again, quite horrible at reading emotions, Rhia failed to notice the jealous glaze that seemed to cover his face. She noticed his face screwing up slightly and gave him a bemused grin, nudging him lightly and then hopping down after him. She had hopped down a few steps when she heard a call behind her. Rhiannon lifted her head, turning slightly. Kai, the white female, was up the staircase a little bit, calling down at the two. Rhiannon smiled a little, "Morning Kai, come meet my old friend Ti'ka," she purred. She turned back to the stairs and bounded her way down after Forte, finally coming up to the river. The red panda myou bounced towards the cael, pausing right in front of him and grinning. She returned his nuzzle, her tail wagging slightly. "Ti'ka! How are you?" she asked, but her voice seemed to be cut off as Ti'ka addressed Forte. She blinked and backed up a bit, going back to Forte's side and leaning against him a little bit. She snorted lightly as he spoke though, nudging Forte once again. She said nothing though, allowing the cael to introduce himself to the white lupus female. ------------------------------------- OOC ;; n/a

[KAI ♥]

Kai padded closer to her friends when Rhi called over to her.

Kai's face screwed up slightly when he said Rhi was like his sister to Forte. Her eyes portrayed her jealousy at their close relationship that she so craved with her. The little white female had no idea why she was so attached to the red wolf already, she just was and that's all that mattered. Her ears twitched and she looked on at the male wolf named Ti'ka who looked quite like she did now that he was out of the water, and she cocked her head to the side and squinted her pupil-less blue eyes in confusion as she tried to figure him out. So many different looking wolves here, which she was definitely not used to.

Kia jumped back at the sound of his voice, and his silver eyes on her, "Uh....I'm Kai!" she said nervously, but always the excited young one, she looked to Rhi to see her reaction of how she displayed herself. The 3 year old always looked to the older female for guidance and this time was no different, she shuffled her paws in place anxiously, feeling the need to run.
