Rock and roll (joining thread)

[Keinvarii]

It was early dawn, and the sun had not quite come up yet across the meadow. Upon a large rock sat Stone, blues eyes alight with the flame cast by the early sun. The shadows blended perfectly with her rather plain fur, making her eye seem brighter. She had been traveling all night since leaving her shore line homeland, and it was the sun rise that made this morning worth stopping to watch. The peace and quiet greeted her ears, as most animals had not begun to venture out yet, which was just how she liked it.

Traveling at night afforded her the leisure of avoiding slinking and help to keep her out of sight. Other wolves made her nervous and jumpy, her lack of social etiquette made her feel rather awkward. Not to mention her defensive nature sky rocketed as she could not easily outrun too many wolves, the lingering injury in her front paw a hindrance to any escape attempt. Sadly this left fighting as an alternative, and ultimately social interaction.

Shacking her fur off from its dew cover Stone inhaled the cold morning air and collapsed on the surface, getting the stone to melt into her body shape for comfort. The rock was the safest place for her to be as it provided a barrier against intruders and put her at a higher ground. She managed to warm the surface and sighed in contentment as she settled to watch the show unfolding before her eager and weary eyes. It was almost like being home. Stone was already starting to miss the salty air and cry of the gulls.

[atrb=background,http://i.imm.io/56Mq.jpeg] Magispar woke up in the morning to the cold, beautiful light of dawn which she so loved, and somehow, she knew. It is finished. Searching her mind, she could not think of anything else to do; her pack was made. An easy smile spread across her face. She was a Guide now, and it gave her a kind of fierce joy and pride and, inwardly, she gave herself a vow; that she would be loyal, she would lead the pack to the best of her ability, until she died. Which was hopefully quite a long way off. Nosing her way out of her den, she looked up in surprise as she saw another wolf sitting on top of the large rock that she'd already decided to use as a speaking podium for meetings. "Hello," she said in surprise. "Who are you, and what are you doing here?" Remembering her pack was newly formed, she added quickly, "This is the Philia Alliance's territory now. Just, like, in case you didn't know. We're a new pack," she added, and with a touch of the fierce pride she had felt a minute ago, "I'm Magispar, the pack's Guide. Um." She decided to settle on being polite. After all, perhaps the wolf was here to join them. "How can I help you?"

You cannot post with out making a character first. The profile must be on this account name.

ooc: hey Cy, I am not quite sure if you mean me by that, but if you do, I did create a character and a profile, that was given the go by Who, and the profile is Keinvarii under the login name Keinvaros. Of course I should put in the activation code, but the account should be there. I am probably mis-interpreting the whole message though.

[atrb=background,http://i.imm.io/5pev.png] Startled by the voice so early in the morning, Stone jumped out of her skin, her fur standing straight up as she wiped around to face the voice. Slight trembles ran under her fur and her heart ran ahead of her. Was this an attack? Who could be up this early? What did they want with her? Was she to be breakfast? Below her stood another wolf, and Stone shrunk down and slid off the rock, keeping to the shadow its large frame projected onto the ground. She perked her ears forwards, eyes glancing up nervously as her tail swished back and forth. The other wolf did not seem to be threatening her, but it was best to remain partially obscured. Listening to the wolf's questions, the wheels of Stone's mind worked furiously, adrenaline still flowing through her stocky body. Who was she? "Well by name I am known as Keinvarii, but Stone will do fine." She was puzzled by the second question. What was she doing here? It was obvious to Stone that she was lying down enjoying the sunrise, but then again, she knew little about how others thought. "I'm just sitting, nothing more nothing less", she responded in a quiet voice. A new pack? It must be, Stone mused, because she had not picked up many wolf scents in the area, which was one of the reasons she had chosen to take this path. The least she could do was take an interest in the pack since she was trespassing, a thought that had not occurred to her before. "So what is the Philia Alliance?" Maybe if it sounded good she might finally find a pack to join. Wolf Stock

[atrb=background,http://i.imm.io/56Mq.jpeg] Magispar grew slightly taller with pride again as the wolf asked her about the Alliance. "Well, it's the first ever pack that considers all wolves free, and equals. Rather than saying we're all a brave pack, or a particularly clever pack, or anything like that, we treat every wolf as an individual with individual skills and talents. All wolves are equal here, and free, and able to act how they please, within reason." She took a deepish breath. "There's Guides, who guide the pack with advice and stuff rather than just telling people what to do like other packs' leaders do. I'm the Female Guide, Magispar. We don't have any more power than anybody else, because we are all equal here." She paused to give the other wolf some time to think. She was immensely proud of her new pack and took great joy in describing it to others.

[atrb=background,http://i.imm.io/5pev.png] Stone listened attentively to the Guide describe her pack, her ears at attention. It seemed that the wolf was very proud of the Alliance's creed and their goal intrigued Stone. She knew very little of the way packs operated, though if anything she did recognize that usually there was an annoying hierarchy that demanded that subordinate wolves comply to the alpha's demands. Equality, now that was a concept that was quite new age and was a motto she herself had learned while striving to live on her own. With no pack she had come to understand that all living creatures were really quite equal, and once politics were removed, a natural order devoid of political status instilled itself. Not to mention she wasn't very good at taking orders, she had learned to live by the creed Eat or be Eaten. If the Alliance strived to achieve this goal, then it may be that Stone had finally found a place to settle. Their reduced numbers meant that there were not be an overwhelming amount of social interaction, that in itself was appealing enough to her. With her mind firmly made up she responded, "Your pack's creed is a very unique one, in fact I do not know of many with such a new take on hierarchy. To be honest I am pleased to hear this. I should like to join you and the other wolves of the Alliance, I have a few skills to bring, social charm not being exactly one of them." She paused to organize her next words as they may end up being the deciding factor to her request. "I can however offer my fighting skills, as a new pack you might need the protection. My elemental power is stone, and I can use it both as defense...and as offense" With that she tore three small stones from the earth and let them float in the air, spinning. "Don't be alarmed, I would be prefer to show you what I mean instead of simply giving my word." She spun the stones faster, and as they picked up speed she released them, using her energy to guide the now rocketing missiles. On the other side of the meadow stood a tree, and with deadly accuracy she pierced through the wood, each stone hitting the same target one after the other. Chunks of barks flew around, and in their place was a small hole; big enough to kill, despite it's lack of show. Pleased with herself she turned to face the Guide once more, a small smirk of satisfaction on her snout. "I hope to work on that technique a little more." She left the cover of the large boulder and awaited Magispar's reaction. Wolf Stock

[atrb=background,http://i.imm.io/56Mq.jpeg] Magispar nodded slightly as the three stones pierced the wood. She would have preferred her territory unmarred by holes in trees, but the demonstration was remarkable and she believed this wolf could be a valuable fighter. "Excellent," she said happily. "Well, of course you're accepted. We're the sanctuary for everybody. It's not like I have the power or desire to turn any regular wolf away." She nodded sharply. "Glad that's done with. Welcome to the Alliance."
