The sterling outrider's paws led him far away from the Bypass, towards the direction of his previous home, Swiftcurrent Creek. He wasn't stupid enough to go directly at their borders, but he did stop by Wapun meadow. Remembering the conversations he had there with the Sunspire wolves, he couldn't help but smile internally. He felt no hostility towards them anymore, it had only been the sense of protecting his pack that had made him feel hostility towards the mountain wolves. But now, he'd left, kicked out and he no longer felt any hostility towards the Sunspire wolves. He'd left the rivalry behind him, that was the two pack's problems, not his. Unless, he scowled at the thought, Bazi decided to create an intense rivalry between the Bypass and the Creek. But surely, Scimitar was wise enough to stop her from doing such a stupid move.

He shook the troubling thoughts away and instead trudged through the flowers and grass of the meadow, wondering if he would ever be able to relax here again without tensing up and glancing around every few moments in case a hostile Creek wolf leaped out at him. Sure, he could easily defeat them but that didn't mean he shouldn't be allowed to relax.

He was about to lie down on the grass when he caught a faint whiff of Swiftcurrent Creek. Immediately He tensed up, was it Scimitar or Bazi? Surely the ivory Alphess wouldn't be stupid enough to venture pass the Creek's protection and borders, he wondered if she thought of him as some kind of raging maniac, that if she walked out of her home he would be there, ready to kill her. If that was indeed how the snowy Alpha thought of him, he'd be amused. He knew he was intimidating to some wolves, however much he seemed snide and cocky. Yes, he knew he seemed arrogant and full of himself. After all, he did choose to put on that mask.

He followed the trail and finally saw the Creek wolf. But it wasn't either of the Creek's leaders, the smell on the wolf was faint as if she was new. Of course, Scimitar and Bazi would have traveled all around Teekon Wilds to fill the ranks but they would never be able to fill in their former member's presence.

"Hey," he called out, a faint smirk gracing his features as he slowly trotted forward, he knew that he still smelled of the Creek, however faint it was. But soon it would fade away and he would only smell of the Bypass.

"Falwasi," he repeated with a tilt of his head and a faint smile. He laughed softly when she asked if they'd met. "No, we haven't and I'm pretty sure Bazi won't be pleased to see me so near her lands," he gazed at her with piercing silver eyes. "You're a new recruit huh? Looks like Scimitar and Bazi are working hard to fill the ranks with new wolves after she kicks her senior wolves out."

His tail sways nonchalantly gazing at the distance to what he deemed as Swiftcurrent Creek. He missed it but he would never admit it and even if Bazi regretted her decision to kick him out-which he was pretty sure she didn't-and offered him his old position in the pack back, he wouldn't return to the Creek. He had a new beginning, a new home, a place that welcomed him and most importantly, Paar.

The silver wolf's platinum gaze swept calmly over Falwasi as she spoke, "What's that supposed to mean?" she said coldly. "I came here on my own accord." When another Creek wolf appeared, Shadow felt the urge to sigh. The scent of the Creek on them were both extremely faint, they must have just joined then. Of course they didn't know what happened to Swiftcurrent Creek, how their Alphess really was like. He didn't hate Bazi, just felt sorry for her and maybe a bit angry but he'd gotten over the pissed off part rather quickly, although he doubted he would ever be able to truly forgive the ivory female for kicking Danica out just because she liked her.

The other male introduced himself as Dovev and he dipped his head politely over to him before turning to the female again. "When I was still a Creek wolf, when the ranks were full, only the best wolves were accepted. They had to be in best conditions, excellent skills before getting accepted." he replied as he lowered himself onto his haunches, in no mood to fight the wolves in front of him.

"Bazi wouldn't be too pleased to hear that I'm this near her territory. I'm Shadow, former Gamma of Swiftcurrent Creek. I don't know whether or not you want to hear this but I'm going to tell you anyways. I had a friend call Danica that was also from Swiftcurrent Creek, she's now in Duskfire Glacier. But thats not the point, she liked Bazi, not in the friendly way and confessed to her. Bazi decided to kick her out just because she liked girls. Because she like girls." he suppressed a sneer at that instead for a brief moment, his masked vanished, revealing the pain etched deep in his platinum gaze before it vanished, replaced by the cool look again.

"Anyways I decided to confront her, ask her if it was real and well, she got pissed off and told me to follow Danica, told me to leave the Creek and never come back. And I suppose she's even more angry at me now, after the wolf I was courting came with me." he smiled faintly. "Maybe she thinks that I purposely took her away from the Creek."

He gazed at the two new Creek wolves in front of him, he did not want them to leave the Creek after they heard the truth. He only wished for them to know and it was up to them to decided whether to trust him or not. "Its up to you whether you choose to believe me or not."

The sterling outrider rose to his paws when the female began walking away, towards the direction of the Creek. He should be returning to the Bypass now, it would be a few days of travel and lots could happen in a few days. When he smelled Scimitar, he barely resisted the urge to scowl, trust that Beta to come barging into places he didn't belong in. Why the hell did that agouti male have to intrude anyways! “Something either of you said?”

The silver male turned his steely gaze to Scimitar, tail swaying nonchalantly behind him. After all he no longer needed to submit to him. "Well, hello Scimitar. I was just telling the pair of them about how Bazi kicked me and Danica out. I'm pretty sure you heard about that, its interesting isn't it?" he tilted his head slightly, a faint smile on his face.

He couldn't believe Scimitar had the guts to walk up to him and talk like they were old friends. They were not friends and they never would be. Damn him, he scowled internally while keeping his calm facade up. Damn him to the pits of Tartarus,

“Really, I had thought you would have had better things to do than try to tell tall tales to new pack members. You must be bored.” Wow, Scimitar sure had guts to say that the truth was a mere tail. He must be desperate to save Swiftcurrent Creek, to keep their members loyal when the Alpha herself was tainted and not fit to lead a pup, let alone a whole pack. If he'd known that his welsh friend had seeked acceptance in the Creek's ranks, he wouldn't even have bothered to tell Scimitar what he was up to, instead ask for his friend's well-being. After all, who knows when he'll be kicked out as well, just because of who he likes.

He supposed the Beta didn't want wolves to know about the Creek's terrible story, their Alpha kicking wolves out left and right, their former Alpha stirring up trouble then running away with a male wolf from another pack and the founder suicided. Scimitar better protect Bazi, fast because if the Creek was truly cursed by the gods, she would be next.

His gaze cold and steady as he ignored the new wolf of the Creek and looked at Scimitar and smiled faintly. "Telling tales, am I? Surely you should know the difference between the truth and mere stories? They deserve to know what they're signing up for you know. Its unfair to them." and that was what he truly thought anyways. He never lied.

He shrugged, silver eyes flashing over to the white male for a moment before looking back at Scimitar. "Whatever, they're not my subordinates. You can tell them whatever you wish to tell them." he smiled and it wasn't a smirk. It was a smile.
