Home At Last (Cyra, joining)

[wonderwhywolfs]

Cyra felt the cool wind on her back as she wandered the river. Before this she was racing across the dry hvitar ari’s rocks. Being an earth lupus she likes to have greenery and vegetation around her at all times. The forest being her number one choice. It makes her feel powerful, the smell of the air when it’s about to rain, the feel of the soft soil and moss beneath her paws but most of all, just being there, with the comfort of the thick earth all around her.

But now there was none of that. She left that behind a while ago. And now, once she was here, she was starting to wonder if that was a good idea. of course it is! she thought, I can’t just keep wandering around by myself, I need to find myself a pack. Cyra had been wandering alone for almost a year now, hunting, sleeping and moving by herself, after she was told to leave the pack at the age of four. Though she would like to think she left willingly. She is now five. Sure, there was the occasional encounter with another wolf here and there, but the truth is, Cyra was not meant to be loner. Especially when there is none of the comforting earth around her. And after a while, it was starting to get to her.

She had tried to find a pack before, but with no luck. She was now entering the lands of the Connewa Meadow. She had heard about the pack that claimed this territory. The Phillia Alliance. To her, this pack seemed just right for her, and she hoped she could possibly fit in with this pack.

[atrb=background,http://i56.tinypic.com/2v0fin6.png] Phoenix was taking an early morning walk through the meadow, she was stretching her legs. They were stiff from sitting down so long watching her pups, but they were old enough to be left by themselves for awhile while she went out, besides Magispar was looking over them so there was no reason to worry. Now she walked along the river, debating with herself whether or not she should jump in to cool herself down. It was quite hot out and she could easily overheat, being a fire lupus and all, so decided to go with it. She walked closer to the bank and stepped into the cold water, it felt good on her fiery red fur and she lapped up some of it aswell. She waded in the shallows walking through the shoulder high shallows, following the river to wherever it went enjoying the cool breeze and the hot sun. Phoenix pulled herself out of the water some time later, shaking most of the water from her red fur, drying the rest by heating hrself up to the point where a few flames lit from the tips of hair. She turned to walk back when a scent hit her nose, distinctly lupus she could scent a lupus from a mile away, this one was a female and her pelt smelled of earth so she assumed that was her element. She could also catch another scent and that was one from another pack. She bared her teeth in a snarl and approached the lupus. "Greetings west wolf. Why, may I ask, are you in the Philia Alliance territory? Have you left your pack in hopes of joining this one?" she asked her tone somewhat harsh but soft at the same time. She waved her black tipped tail in front of her and flicked her ears flames appearing on the blck tips of each one, showing what she was capable of if the other wolf was looking for a fight.

Cyra was wandering along the side of the river, taking drinks time to time, and constantly thinking about what this new pack would be like, that is, if she was allowed to join.

It wasn’t long until she saw a figure in the distance, and by the looks and smell, another lupus, possibly a fire lupus. “Greetings west wolf. Why may I ask are you in the Phillia Alliance territory?” said the stranger. Her tone confused Cyra as it was harsh yet soft. Cyra was about to say something when the other lupus continued. “Have you left your pack in hopes of joining this one?” said the other lupus. When the red one flicked her tail with flame, it was clear to Cyra that she had met another lupus with the ability to control an element.

“Yes,” said Cyra, “exactly. I had no means of trespassing, only the intention of joining The Alliance.” The grass beneath Cyras paws swayed back and forth and the pebbles around her jumped lightly showing her excitement in possibly being able to join a pack. “My name is Cyra” she began, “may I ask yours?”

[atrb=background,http://i56.tinypic.com/2v0fin6.png] "I am Phoenix, a fighter of the Alliance. What skills do you posses Cyra? She looked around to see the grass throughout the valley sway back and forth and stones ratle and shake and lift a few feet in the air. She was right this was a earth lupus but she noticed that her powers were weak and not nearly as strong as her own. "I see you can control earth Cyra, but it is weak and could use some practice and then after that you will have skills enough to do more than rattle a few rocks." she smiled, the thought that she could never teach her pups to control an element had weighed her down and she could be a good teacher. She bent down to stretch her legs and yawned her white teeth glinting in the sunlight her blood red tongue lolling out of her mouth. She stood up then sat down clawing the grass with her black paws. Her pelt looked like flames under the morning sun. She thought back to her pups and thought that she better get going soon, who knew what trouble 2 pups could get into.

“What skills do I posses? Well first off, as you probably guessed, I am an earth lupus,” Cyra said. She made the stones around her go higher in the air, the blades of grass around her grow greener, and roses bloom here and there. Then, too show her strength and that her powers were not only for looks, and could be used in defence or to harm if needed, she suddenly made the grass razor sharp and into curling tendrils, and the roses grow taller, black, snake-like with thorns 3 inches long, ready to strike. But only for a moment, as here powers aren’t yet fully developed and the amount of energy it takes is considerable. She regained her breath then looked up, hoping that she impressed Phoenix. Cyra smiled and said, “I also have the ability to hunt rather well.”
She was already tired from the energy it took to show Phoenix what she could do, though she was trying not to show it. She sat down to keep her legs from shaking and looked up to Phoenix for a reply.

[atrb=background,http://i56.tinypic.com/2v0fin6.png] "Good, good, very nice. I see you can use your element to some extent but I also see that doing just that weakened you, time and practice will allow you to use your power to its full extent. But I see that how much you know of your element and how much you can use it until it weakens you, you would be a more sucessful hunter. You could use the grass to tangle your prey to make them easier to catch. Would you like the rank of a hunter? I think it would be good for you." Phoenix made a circle around Cyra while speaking, evaluating her. She finished with a final nod, and stood in front of the muddy brown lupus her flame coloured eyes meeting her earth coloured ones. "Come on, let's head back to the clearing so you can meet the rest of the members aswell as the guides." She turned and flicked her tail, gesturing for Cyra to follow her.

Cyra’s day, her month, her year, and possibly her life, just got a whole lot better. She had been accepted into the Phillia Alliance. Words cannot describe her happiness. And as for the rank she had been given, she did not expect to get it so soon. “Why thank you Phoenix! I much appreciate your kindness.”
Phoenix flicked her tail in a gesture telling Cyra to follow, and Cyra did willingly. Home at last, she thought, as she made her way to her new pack.
