[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][atrb=width,500,true][bg=546b56]How long had she been here? The days she was recovering seemed to meld together, only recently had she ventured out of the small den that Rhia had put her in to heal. She didn't even know if she smelled like her own pack anymore. Everything was strange. However she found the Spring and the sounds of the roaring river were oddly comforting....reminiding her of her own underground river in her pack lands.
Oh...her packlands. She closed her violet eyes, her brown tipped ears flickered back over her small head as she recalled what her home used to look like. Now it was charred and brunt...or so she imagined, maybe it was even still on fire. The small lyxxus was almost the size of a pup, yet her four tails said otherwise. She was small and felt even smaller inside. She whined softly to herself, wrapping all four tails around her petite form.
She gazed into the spring, it's rocks sent lights dancing through the gently rippling water. Her sunshine yellow fur was still smudged with dirt and grime. The white lily mark upon her chest looked like it may have been singed in the fire she escaped weeks ago. She knew that she had a few patches of missing fur, scars that wound most likely not heal. For once in her life, the usually bright and happy female could not find the strength to smile.
Her heart ached, she yearned for her daughter...her brothers....even her mate whom she hadn't seen in what seemed like ages. She was lost and alone in this hard, unforgiving place. There were no flowers to make her smile here... |

Sandralina flapped her wings a few times, feeling the wind drift through them softly, carrying her across her packs lands. The barn swallow myou was busy patrolling the lands of the Cadre and she was beginning to get thirsty. She spotted the Eas Spring below with her keen amber eyes and tilted her body just slightly enough to turn in the direction of the water, tail feathers spreading out farther to slow herself. She dropped down into the canyon and flapped her wings harder, stretching out her long legs to land on the smooth rocks.
Her thick ebony claws made a clacking noise as she pranced along the rocks towards the water. Her wings folded and tucked into her sides comfortably and her tail closed a little ways. She approached the spring and lowered her head, flicking out her small pink tongue to lap up water. The cool liquid slid down her throat and returned her energy to her. She felt ready to finish her patrolling...had she not spotted another wolf so close to her.
Her head turned sharply and she found a small female lyxxus sitting there. Her yellow fur was dirty and she had scars, missing pieces of fur. Her scent was new to Sandralina, but she smelled somewhat of the Cadre and another pack. She couldn't quite place it. She wondered if she was an enemy, but she was where the alphas usually slept, so she couldn't have been much of an enemy if she was here. She wanted to be a good pack member and snap at her, tell her to leave. Though, it certainly wasn't like her to be that way, she was too friendly for it.
Sandralina stepped closer to her. "Hello, there. Who are you?" She paused, deciding it to be proper to introduce herself. "I'm Sandralina, a member of the Cadre." There was a sweet smile upon the myou's face, something that always persisted to be there. It never seemed to leave her expression.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][atrb=width,500,true][bg=546b56]It was not uncommon for larger species of wolves to overlook her. She had watched the female land and followed her with her eyes to the spring. The female was four times as heavy and four times as tall as the lyxxus. Keely was more than dwarfed by the myou. She looked up, trying to look friendly enough despite how miserable she was feeling. She always put on a happy face for her daughter, why couldn't she now?
"I'm Keely...." Was she not supposed to be here, that would not be too fun if she got in trouble, Rhiannon has nursed her back to health, it would make her sad if she made Rhia sad. At least her trains of thought had not changed, they still functioned sporadically. She chewed her lip a little unsure if she should say where she was from or why she was here.
She looked at the spring, wanting to take a drink but still unsure if she should. It was not her home here...she was uncomfortable in this place all alone. |

Sandralina smiled at her, trotting over happily. Estoni giggled, 'You're a happy lot, you are.' Sandra rolled her eyes at her second soul and focused on Keely. "That's a lovely name. You can call me Sandra, Sandry, or Sandy. I think it makes life easier for everyone else. Still, I wonder why I have such a long name." She shifted her wings and her body so that she could lay down and be level with the lyxxus. She found it would be easier to talk to a lyxxus this way, as they were rather small.
"Why are you here, Keely?" Sandra was merely being curious towards her, holding no hostility at all. She loved meeting others and making friends, it was in her nature to do so. She had traveled around a lot before, the seven year old, and making friends was an easy thing for her. If she was attacked, she was fast enough to get away or, if she couldn't flee, then she was strong enough to fight off her attacker.
Sandralina was new to the pack and had a lot going for her. One day, she hoped to be the gamma or an epsilon. Either would work, but she certainly didn't want to be a subordinate forever. The same position for a long time got boring after awhile. While she was on that subject in her mind, she wondered where this wolf had come from and what rank she had held in her pack, if she had had one at all before this meeting.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][atrb=width,500,true][bg=546b56]Keely blinked in surprise almost when the myou began speaking to her. It was like looking at a bigger version of herself! The infectious happiness that was Keely's claim to fame was laying infront of her, gazing back at her. She could not help but wag a few of her tails.
She was not shy about answering questions, not matter the state of her emotions, "I was exploring. Rhia nursed me back to health and I am just now getting around. The Spring is pretty, look there are sparkly rocks that make the lights dance. They remind me of my daughter's laugh...." She almost choked on her last thought. She sorely missed Mimzy and the rest of her kin.
She pushed the thoughts out of her head. She needed to learn about new places, what better way then to stay with another pack for a time. She hoped that Rhia could direct her back home...though the shadows of the wings still haunted her dreams. She could still smell the singed earth. |

At the mention of the sparkling rocks, Sandralina's head turned and her amber eyes swept across the stones of the clearing. She smiled, finding them to indeed sparkle as she had said. Then she mentioned her daughter's laugh and, somehow, Sandra could picture the rocks laughing, but only through their sparkles. It was cute and made the barn swallow myou grin widely. She noticed something, though, how sad Keely had sounded at the mention of her daughter.
If Rhia had been nursing her back to health this whole time, then something must have happened to her pack, daughter included. Sandra felt the need to help, and she wanted to, but she needed to know what was going on first. She brought her amber eyes back to the small female. "Your daughter sounds lovely. What happened to your pack, if you don't mind my asking?" Sandra was liking this wolf more and more, not that she hadn't when she first met her. She was nice and pretty, even though she was a little mangled.
There must have been a reason for that, which was the reason she asked about it. She was liking Rhia more and more too. She respected her alphess just as she would respect any higher ranking wolf in her pack, but she wasn't aware her alphess would take in a stranger and heal her. It was a strange thing and not something she had thought Rhiannon was capable of when she had first met her. Then again, no one has any right to judge a wolf by their pelt.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][atrb=width,500,true][bg=546b56]She smiled at the mention of her daughter and the memory of her, "Oh yes, she is lovely." She gazed into the dancing water when the myou asked her what happened to the pack. She got quiet for a moment, her mind and emotions were up and down, she was being torn from happy to sad as if the wind had shifted. "I don't know...." Her voice was small, "I don't remember....there was a dragon...and fire. So much fire." She swallowed the cold lump that was forming in her throat.
She remembered choking on smoke and the stinging in her eyes. The smell of blood. She found herself trembling like a scared puppy at the memory. The once naive wolf was much more aware of life and loss now. She was four years old and just now growing up it seemed. She fought back tears as she thought of her wounded brothers. |

Sandralina frowned and felt her wings sag to the ground, her smile replaced by a sad expression. "Oh...I'm so sorry..." She pondered for a moment, trying to figure out what it was like to lose something like that. She couldn't fathom it, as the only thing she had ever lost was her brother and that wasn't something that affected her too greatly. She had loved her brother, yes, but her parents hated her and used her as a punching bag for most of her life. She didn't like that part of her life at all.
Dragon? She wondered if she should be telling the lyxxus about Ardent, the dragon Delta that resided in the Cadre. She decided against it, not wanting to scare her and possibly traumatize her further. She let out a sigh and forced her happy smile back onto her face, "Well, if there's anything I can do, please tell me! Maybe I can ask Rhiannon if I could go find your pack or something, come back and then take you to them!" She doubted it would happen, but the entire decision was up to her alphess, not her.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][atrb=width,500,true][bg=546b56]The apology was unexpected, but it made her feel better, even if it was just a little. She took a chocolate paw and tapped the surface of the water, watching the light from below dance in the ripples of the water hole. She was trying to tell herself to be strong. Put on her happy face and bring sunshine to the pack she was staying with. It was the least she could do, considering how much Rhia had already done for her.
She looked back up at the myou, her purple eyes sparkled a little in the sun, "I'd like that....I just want to know if they are ok. Maybe you don't have to bring me to them....maybe you can just see if the lands are ok...I don't think you will find my family while flying." Considering their dens were underground, she assumed her pack would be sticking under there for a while at least. She knew that she would. There was water in the caverns...and sometimes fish. |

It was good to see her like that, considering what she had been through. The barn swallow myou listened to her words intently, wondering if it would still be worth it to attempt to find them. Perhaps she could go to the lands to scout them out, make sure everything was better, then make a lot of noise to try and find the pack even if she was attacked.
Estoni hummed in the back of her mind, Sandry, I think you should ask Rhia if you can go! 'I will, I will. Calm down!' She pondered for a moment before standing up, stretching out her wings and long limbs, ebony talons scratching at the ground as she did so. She righted herself and shook out her fur, turning her amber gaze back to the Lyxxus. "Keely, I think it's important that you should return to your family, and I'll do anything to help you with that. I doubt you'll go anywhere, but I'll be right back. I need to ask Rhiannon something."
Sandralina turned and spread her wings out, thrusting them once and rocketing into the sky, exiting the spring with an easy speed. She glided through the air and scanned the lands, searching for her Alphess. She had to hurry, though, as she knew the tournament was bound to start any time, but the Gamma challenges wouldn't happen for a few days. She had time to get to the lands of Keely's pack and try to find them. She just needed Rhiannon's permission first. | |
