What now?, AW

[Morgana Dragon]

She had made it. And she was alive. Just. Her beautiful silky fur was matted with dirt and blood. And she had no-one. No daemon. No friends. No family. But, she would start anew. She hoped that joining this pack would turn her life around. She looked to the sky, the stars sparkling peacefully in the sky high above. Morgana sighed. Why couldn’t she be a star? They got off a lot easier.

Walking along, she observed her new home. It was quite large, and a lot of space to fit a pack. She wondered if anyone would come to her aid. She was barely hanging on. She needed help. She was terribly underweight and had lost quite a lot of blood. She was in shock, and fear. Was there anyone?

OOC : Thought this post looked lonely = )

Another sleepless night had found it's way into his world. Well, perhaps sleepless was incorrect. It wasn't so much that he couldn't fall asleep, it was that he sometimes didn't rest well when he did. Having completed his puppyhood, he never thought he would be battling a puppyhood problem such as nightmares. And tonight, like most other nights, he found himself wandering the plains to keep himself occupied, afraid to let himself drift off into the nighttime dream world. A figure appeared upon the horizon and he strained his eyes to make out the details. A canine figure, definitely not a goat or a deer. He stood still, holding his head and tail high, ready for whatever chance might throw him. "Halt! Who goes there! State you name and purpose!", he shouted to the figure. A wave of de-ja-vu swept over him, remembering another particular intruder who he had a terrible time removing from the private lands. He shook off his thoughts. As the figure drew nearer, he saw it was a small one, possibly a puppy. "You're a long way from home there, little one. These are private lands, they are Fjarhald only. You will have to turn back or go around.", He said to it, messing up the pronunciation of his pack name once again.

[Morgana Dragon]

Morgana was about to pass out, when a voice echoed in her head. It was a wolf, for sure. A male, and smelt of a pack she had just joined. He could only be about a year old, and smelt of another pup. My name is Morgana, sir. I need help, and I have just joined your pack. I need help. I'll most likely die if I don't get what I need. Sadly, all that she said was true. And Morgana is quite an intelligent wolf, and knew there was no denying that.

She looked this wolf over. Compared to her, he seemed to be pretty bland when it came to markings. She knew that it was the way in the world, whereas some wolves have skills, strength or intelligence normally made up for that. She awaited this wolf's reaction to her.

"My name is Morgana, sir. I need help, and I have just joined your pack. I need help. I'll most likely die if I don't get what I need", came it's voice. A female, by the tone of it. He felt shocked. Not only was the pup in his pack, but it was going to die?. His heart studerred and beat faster in his chest. Part of him wondered if puppies were falling out of the sky. New adults had been rare, but the most recent members to join their pack were all puppies. "Then, you will get what you need. Er.. what do you need? Food? Water?", he asked, feeling uncertain of how to help this wolf. If it was a packmate, and he had discovered it, he felt it was indeed his responsibility. Perhaps it was hurt? His mind raced back to think of Einry, and the assistance she extended to him and all others if they became hurt. He felt grateful for having such a wolf as her in the pack to heal the sick and wounded. "Shelter? Medicine?", he added. He trotted over to the wolf now, and stood beside her, in case she might decide to fall over, he would be able to gently break her fall.

[Morgana Dragon]

This wolf's attitude changed when she said she was from his pack. Morgana thought it must have been because of pack mates, and their importance. He went on about what she needed. The answer was quite blunt. Well, all of it. She did need all of it. Food, water, shelter, medicence...

My brother attacked me because he was jelous of me. So, he dragged me to depravity peak and attacked me. Morgana still couldn't beleive that her brother had done that. But, life was life, and wolves had minds of their own.

OOC : Don't mind my character's dislike of odd markings : P

"Well, all of it. My brother attacked me because he was jelous of me. So, he dragged me to depravity peak and attacked me. ", she replied. He stood silent while his mind ticked away. Food, water, shelter, medical attention. He gazed at her pelt for a moment. She did look a little bloody. What a brave pretty little thing... er... ew, what strange markings. He thought to himself, noticing the purple on white fur. He wondered what kind of wolf would birth a puppy that strange looking. He said nothing and kept his thoughts to himself. In a moment, he had decided a plan. His head instantly tilted back and towards the stars. "HAWWOOOOOOOOEEEEeeeeEEEINRY!!!!", came a seemingly sudden howl. He tilted his neck back down, and a sickening crack came with it. He suddenly gave himself a great shake, as if shaking off the odd sound his cracking joints had made. He silently examined her now, even walking around her as if taking all of her wounds in. He felt she should not be walking. Perhaps her wounds were not fatal, but walking around would certainly drain her energy. Fjarhald was a big and widely spaced place. Without a word, he took her by the scruff of her neck in his teeth, and placed her on his back, and started a quick jog. In a few moments, the sound of water was distinctive. As they came out of some thick shrubbery, they now stood on the shore of a moderate paced stream. He took her again in his mouth and set her down. "Water. Drink.", he panted from exhertion. Having a puppy on one's back was hard work. He regained his breath, and then continued. "You stay here. Our medic will be here shortly. She will heal you. I will be back with food. After you eat, I will carry you to our nearest den.", he said in a matter-of-fact tone. He wasted no words, feeling as if he was in a life or death situation. He took a few steps away from her, and then paused, remembering his howl. "HAWWOOOEEEEHere!!!!!", he howled again, to tell the wolf he had summoned of their new location. He ran off now, in the direction of a fishing stream he knew of, for this one, only had cool water.

[Morgana Dragon]

Ooc: Lol

Morgana sat, waiting for this wolf to respond. She looked up at him. He seemed to be looking at her markings, maybe slightly disgusted. My markings aren't that bad are they? You should see my brother Merlin. He's dark blue, covered in shiny sparkly silver, white and purple stars. Or Arthur. He's gold with several yellow markings. So, I'm not that bad. Let's just say that Morgana likes her markings very much. Then, this wolf let out a sudden howl. Calling some Eirny wolf. What was that for?

No time to talk, as she was soon on his back and heading towards some water. He told her to drink. Morgana gladly did as she was told. She could probably was herself to in this water, she would as this wolf when he returned from his hunting trip. Then, Morgana shuddered. She felt as if she was being watched. Looking up, she saw trees on the other side. There was a black shape, with red eyes. It was getting closer. Morgana nearly screamed, but then it left. She knew who it was. It was Mordryd. He was still hunting her.

[Eirný]

Eirný wasn't used to being in demand.

Actually, she was used to being able to escape, which she still did on top of patrolling and helping Gennae to manage the pack. Luckily she was in the packlands when Xexe called for her, and she trotted off to the location happily.

A slightly bloodied pup and Xexe were soon smelled. Eirný decended on the situation, tail curved slightly upwards, friendly half smile on her face, Arrow flying behind her. "I'm Eirný, the packs Lýsa. What happened?" she asked the pup, shooting a confused look to Xexe.

Suddenly, inhaling, Eirný caught another scent. Her head whipped towards it and she leaned into a more dominant stance, ears curving backwards with rage and a snarl escaping from her throat as she instinctually stepped in front of the pup.

Seemed she had inherited the fiery, protective instincts of the Mikills.

OOC :

In his mind, even though there was a small crisis, a dying wolf, things were very simple. Water for Morgana. Check. Food for Morgana, in progress. Medicine for Morgana, on it's way. Den for Morgana, after food. His mind was all action. All busyness, business, and haste. He did not notice that Morgana spoke more to him, or that Einry had arrived. He had already turned and began to lope off into the distance. He followed the stream south, deeper into the territory, grimacing at the iced over patches, and squinting at the free running sections for movement. The stream turned and became forked with a larger one, teeming with wildlife. He turned his mind to the task at hand; his fishing tallent would not go defeated, especially with crisis at hand. In a few minutes, he had two small fish, and a rather large one. He wasn't sure exactly how he had caught them, but he had, and it felt like a knee-jerk motion the whole while he was doing it, feeling caught up in the situation. He swallowed the two small and held the large in his mouth, and then turned to run full pace back upstream to the waiting, dying, and hopefully being medically attended to Morgana. He hoped he would make it in time. He hoped Einry would come. And he wondered what exactly was going on.

[Morgana Dragon]

Ooc: It's fine
She was backing away slowly, trying not to take her eyes of Mordryd. Her jealous, selfish brother wouldn't let her get away that easily, and Morgana knew it. He was coming closer, when an older white wolfess appeared. She didn't notice him, which was strange. But her presence scared his all the same. And he was off.

Morgana turned to look at the wolfess. She must be Eirny. She could help her. She was already protecting her from Mordryd. Morgana cleared her chest. I'm Morgana. So you're the one who this other wolf called? He's gone to get me some food. My brother, the wolf just then, Mordryd, attacked me because he was jealous because I was our parent's favorite. Some bad memories flooded back to Morgana. To many to count.

[Eirný]

Eirný arched an eyebrow at the prattling pup. "Tresspassers don't last long here," she commented, glaring in the direction the other wolf had been in. Eirný did not yet have all the instincts leaders were supposed to have, like Gennae or Sam did, but she was still a Mikill, and a leader by blood. She would grow into it. "C'mere, we'll get you a den and some attention for those wounds," she decided, already trotting off in another direction. She had privately decided, already, that the pup's den should be near the interior of the packlands, within suitable distance of other den's, and hopefully with multiple exits. Then again, it was more up to Morgana than her.

OOC :

The landscape was a blur of greens and browns as the world faded into a fuzzy picture. It could not hold still enough for him to make out any details as he bolted past. His steps were quick and sure, the fish bobbing in his mouth in tune to his gait. He passed something white, and then skidded to a stop, careening around to view what it was, something out of the ordinary. It was a pup, and a large cream wolf. Einry. He trotted to them, catching up quickly. He wiggled his eyebrows in a silly gesture towards Einry as a hello, and then placing the fish between his shoulders, had a clear mouth to talk. "Evenin' ladies.", he said to the both of them in an easy, nonchalant tone. He leaned his neck backwards again to place the fish again in his mouth. He eyed Morgana, and decided the fish should be a whole meal for her. Ahead of them, the Fjarhald dens loomed into view. Einry stopped in front of one, and he took the cue, and placed the fish at the paws of Morgana. He took a few steps backwards, and within a few harsh coughs, regurgitated whole the two smaller fish he had gulped down for later. He nodded to the pup a gesture, For you., and stepped aside to watch the rest of the proceedings. There was no question in his mind, he knew the pup would be safe here, so safe that to put up a sentry at the den would be laughable. The dotted pup was a strange one, and he wondered why exactly she was so beat up and previously on the brink of death, and what all of this silly talk was that she had said. Perhaps the delusions of one about to die? He knew whatever the case, the pup was sure to make a speedy recovery with Einry's medicines, and the old fashioned healin' of fresh meat, water, and rest. He decided he would pull Einry aside before she left to speak with her. Morgana had explained things, but he still felt clueless as to what was really going on.

[Morgana Dragon]

Ooc: Sorry for my lateness!!!!! Homework is a very distracting proposition.
Ic: Morgana nodded as Eirny spoke of getting her a den. Morgana didn't mind where it was as long as it was close to safety and far from Mordryd. She quickly followed Eirny when this other wolf had arrived. She still didn't know his name. She had a slight disgusted look on her face as he coughed up the fish. She started towards it and warily started to eat.

When she was done, she looked around and checked for any signs of her brother. "Thank you. And what's your name, you never told me." Morgana tilted her head. She yawned as well, as she was getting tired from all of her escaping.

[xexe]

"Thank you.", she said, and Xexe bowed his head quickly in a 'you're welcome' motion. "And what's your name, you never told me.", she added. Xexe hesitated and looked at Einry, expecting the question to be directed at her, but Einry appeared to only look back with a neutral gaze. Slowly, he realized the question was directed at him, instead of Eniry. "Uh, Xexe.", he said.

He turned to leave, but couldn't bring himself to take the first step away. His agile mind quickly worked out a compromise. He didn't quite trust this Morgana yet, and he decided he would both monitor her behavior to make sure she wasn't crazy or dangerous, while guarding her from this invisible friend who attacked her. If he decided she was safe, then he'd integrate her with the other pups, meaning he'd need to track down the puppy Icicle mentioned, and pupsit all three at once. But, he wasn't mixing this pup up with Icicle one second before he was convinced she was safe, and safe to be around.

Plopping down on his stomach at the mouth of the cave, he leaned his neck back to look at Morgana, giving her the schedule. "Tonight you rest, and I'll guard you. Tomorrow, if you are feeling better, we might put you in with the other puppies. Otherwise you will rest here until you are better. But you will not leave this cave on your own. If you have to go to the bathroom, if you need a drink, if you are hungry, you come get me and we go together. You go nowhere on your own until it is safe for you again.", he said sternly. If this pup wandered off on her own and got attacked again, he would feel no empathy. Instead, he'd trot right up to Gennae and ask to exile the unruly pup who brought danger to the pack - and his Icicle. He also felt bad to be so bossy in front of Einry. He hoped that she would understand the gravity of the situation and agree.

He felt an uneasiness in his stomach realizing that taking care of this female would mean that he couldn't spend time with Icicle. He frowned, crossed his paws, and rested his head there, content to stay the night.
