Wolf RPG

FitzDutiful wandered up the falls and sat there, looking at the sky. It was a beautiful day and the clouds were moving across the sky with a speed that allowed them to change often but not before you had chance to analyse the first image you had seen. It caused him to think back to the day when he had met Meldresi and they had both seen different things in the sky.

Throwing his head back he howled for his pack to come and join him. There was no urgency in it, it wasn't required, but it would be nice to see whoever was around and find out what their imagination gave them. Patiently, he sat and waited, sitting on the flat rock at the top of the little waterfall.

He doubted that any of the pups would come, but they were old enough to be left alone and he hoped Raissa would be able to make it. The same went for Chaska and Ryuu, neither of them left the pack lands very often so they were hopefully around. He didn't have a clue what Bindi or Dusk Light were up to but one never knew. The clouds weren't giving him any indication either.

The light grey heard the call of his alpha and rushed to him. He didn't intend on being late to any callings, and was close by at the time. One he arrived, surprisingly, it was just him and Fitzdutiful. He sat on his haunches, straight and tall with his tail curled around to his side. He found his alpha sitting on the flat rock atop the little waterfall, looking up at the clouds.

"What have you called for?" he queried his alpha after bowing his head in respect. What was the urgency? He waited patiently for an answer, or the others to arrive. Perhaps he would answer then.

A call echoed through the cave Bindi was currently hiding in. She had been particularly quiet recently and she didn't know why. She stood and began walking towards where Fitz had called for her. She felt a bit nervous seeing the pack again, almost like she didn't belong there and would be chased away. She had always been here physically, but mentally, Bindi would elsewhere.

Once reaching the area where Fitz and Chaska were, she bowed her head and sat. She wasn't sure what her position in the pack was, but it didn't bother her really. She open her mouth to talk, but when she tried to sat hello it came out in a whisper. Her throat was scratchy and hurt since wasn't hadn't been talk much. Not wanting to do anything else, the midnight wolfess watched and listened for what this meeting was about.

Chaska came fairly quickly, almost as if he thought there was something of major importance and FitzDutiful had to hold back a laugh at the question. "Nothing of importance." he answered before Bindi arrived. "I just thought it'd be nice to see the pack together and look at the clouds. Give me a few minutes for others to arrive before I explain more?" he awaited to be sure that was okay with the ever loyal Chaska.

Bindi arrived not long after and FitzDutiful watched her carefully. Raissa was alpha now and Bindi no longer the pack beta. She retained the highest ranking but her lack of involvement had been her downfall. The news had only been announced through the traditional rank awareness howl - he hadn't told her beforehand. To be honest, he hadn't even known she was still in the pack lands, he had half expected to see her on the borders again. Still she had come and FitzDutiful nodded his head and smiled at her, no hard feelings on his end.

"Let's not wait any longer." he said, looking mainly at Chaska. "I wanted to look at the clouds with you all. A long time ago I studied the clouds with a member of another pack while learning my naturalist trade. It was an interesting experience. Tell me, what kind of things do you see?"

He looked at the clouds himself, seeing trees and rivers in their fluffy substance. This was so personal that it was almost an insight into another's psyche.

He turned his attention to the midnight wolfess as she entered the scene. She had not been heard from in a while. She said nothing, and only sat. But he did catch her try to speak. Perhaps she had nothing to say, or her throat was sore, rendering her speech useless. Chaska didn't linger on it and went back to the light grey alpha.

Chaska's expression became confused as his brows knitted together to form a frown. He did not know of any other reason he would be called here. But the look faded when FitzDutiful explained the reason for the calling. Even still, he was slightly confused. But he did not express these thoughts.

He obliged to Fitz's request and watched the skies, examining the clouds. But he did not see anything. Only...clouds. White, fluffy clouds. He had such good imagination, and yet he could not make out shapes. 

"I see...only clouds. Nothing else. I do not understand what I am supposed to see" he responded, unsure of what Fitz had expected. He continued to look, hoping to make out something. Then, his imagination finally took hold. One of the clouds changed slightly into a tree. "Wait....I see a tree. An oak tree, with a thick trunk and many leaves." He smiled, pleased that he had seen something.

Bindi had mixed emotions flowing through her, some good, some bad, and others made her want to kill something. She felt hurt that Riassa was Alpha now. Her and Fitz had a plan and he just went and totally ruined it, but how could she blame him? Riassa was his mate and the mother of his children and Bindi was a fool to ever think that he could actually care for her in that kind of way. She should have listened to her brain rather than her heart. Her brain is a lot smarter.

However she had no one but herself to blame for losing the Beta position. She had felt disappointed for failing to do her Beta duties, but she no longer felt this way. He had Riassa now and didn't need her. In fact there were two things that kept Bindi from leaving Silvertip and their names where June and Mason. The pack had few members at the moment and she would not leave these pups with the possibility of their pack falling apart. No, she would stay for them and only them. She was determined to be a part of their lives, and would protect them from the darkness that had consumed her life.

When Fitz smiled she forced a smile in return and turned to look at Chaska. When Fitz instructed them to look at the clouds, Bindi sighed but did as told. Unlike Chaska, Bindi could clearly see what was in the sky. She saw broken clouds that ever so often covered the sun. It was exactly what she was feeling on the inside. Broken in a million pieces, and those pieces would cover the light in her. They would cover the good until the darkness came out.

"I see myself" she spoke and swallowed right after to sooth her throat. While she spoke she didn't look down, but instead continued to watch the clouds. Everyone seemed to forget that when a cloud got to heavy it turned gray and it rained.  Execpt unlike the clouds Bindi didn't cry and let the weight go, but instead just took it with her.

Chaska seemed to struggle with the concept of finding images in the clouds, he asked a question and FitzDutiful was about to answer it when the images started to come to him. Turning his attention from the clouds and to his Delta. The older grey wolf seemed pleased to have successfully seen something and FitzDutiful smiled to see him so happy. Such a loyal pack member and yet so new to them too. He was making good progress for his storyteller's trade and Fitz wondered whether these images would inspire him to see more.

"Do you feel that has any meaning for you?" he asked him. Bindi had also spoken that she saw herself but FitzDutiful didn't know how to respond to that. She wasn't the woman he had known of late. Maybe that was his fault - it probably was. He hadn't known what he had wanted when they had set off down a road and then he had pulled off it without alerting her to the possibility. He had decided not to feel guilt over it any more, though, after all he was alpha. He was happy that she continued to grow close to his children - maybe that would change if he ever found out about the dark.

Chaska pondered over Fitz's question as he inspected the cloud that was shaped like a tree in his mind. As he thought about it, it did have meaning to him. The branches seemed to stretch further and further, connecting to other clouds. When he was sure about it, he gave his answer.

"Yes. In fact, it seems like each branch is a journey, going on and on. And each journey connects to another cloud, spreading. To me, it means that journeys lead on to others, and so on" he replied, still looking at the sky in awe, his eyes fixed on the wisps of the white tree.

FitzDutiful looked thoughtful over Chaska's answer. It wasn't something he had considered at all and once again it was the other point of view that amazed him. He wondered if his point of view was commonplace that he wouldn't come up with things as ingenious as those around him but maybe it was just that his mind came up with what he thoughts so obviously he wouldn't think the things other's think. That thought process was quickly confusing him so he left it alone.

"I like that." he said to the male, fondness for him showing in his eyes, "Maybe they'll inspire more stories for you, but the sun is beginning to go down and I should really return to June and Mason. Thank you, both of you, for coming." He supposed he really ought to extend an olive branch to Bindi.

With that he ended the pack activity, glad that two of his pack had come even if Ryuu and Raissa hadn't been able to make it.
