You fought and died, I fought and lost - Sven - June 27, 2025
Sven moved about the stone circle. He raised his leg and then narrowed his eyes to stare off into the distance. There was not much left around here and part of him wondered if he should simply move on. But a more stubborn part, his father's part stuck tight and didn't want to leave. Where could he go? What could he do? He had no one left. They were all gone. Had this been why his father had left all those years ago?
he settled to his haunches and he watched and he waited. For what he didn't know.

There was much to see beyond the lowlands, but despite the thin and very new cord that connected her to the desert, Disa found herself drawn back to it each time. The sand-blasted stone and mean, prickly vegetation was home.
She had taken a scenic route back from Moonspear, repeating the word albinism under her breath so as not to forget it. So focused was Disa on the foreign word that she had not noticed how eerily organised the stones were until she was among them. Nor the wolf that sat there, his back gray and speckled like the stones around him. It was too late not to say anything.
"Wolf," Disa said, chuffing in his direction. "What're you looking at?"

Sven didn't travel far from stone circle
Wondering if someday his siblings would return. He doubted it. Should probably leave himself soon. Search out a different place.
He titled am ear and turned. He couldn't even growl at her for being among the stones he was merely one wolf. There was no such thing as a pack of one.
The horizon. Debating to stay or go. You?

A friendly. Disa shifted her weight back and forth between her forelegs a few times while she sized him up. Him and his funny little white socks.
"I'm looking at a boring walk back to the desert," Disa said, nodding south. "After a break - I'm on a mission. The long kind," she emphasized. Clear silver eyes searched Sven's face. "You ever really wanted to hurt someone, stranger?"

Sven didn't say anything as she studied him. But he did suddenly feel very wary. Who was she and why did she watch him so intently. Was her intent malicious.
He tilted his head. A mission of sorts. One that was long. What did she have to prove? And why?
Suddenly his ruff rose and he felt his skin prickle. He tilted his head and shifted his weight.
I have and I wear the scars to prove i tried. But foolhardy is the prideful and the youth.
RE: You fought and died, I fought and lost - Disa - July 09, 2025
Sven cocked his head to one side, studying her intently. He looked uncomfortable. Disa sat stock still, waiting for an answer. Her eyes drifted to the broad rift in the fur on the right side of his chest as he spoke.
"Oh, I don't know about that," she mused quietly. "Sometimes you need a young wolf's foolhardy fire to do what needs to be done." She jutted her chin at the scar. "Was it worth it?"
RE: You fought and died, I fought and lost - Sven - July 09, 2025
She didn't move to attack him. So he eased back into a neutral situation. The fur in his ruff laying down, mostly. He had truly thought she was about to attack him. He was horrified. He jad immediately jumped to the worst conclusion.
Yes and no. The wolf who gave it to me. Did indeed leave my family's land. But my brother also left. And here I am alone again.
RE: You fought and died, I fought and lost - Disa - July 10, 2025
Disa only noticed that he had puffed himself up when his fur settled again. She smiled ruefully. He seemed skittish – a man built for a big family and vibrant pack life, sitting alone in an unnatural circle of stones.
"And what will you do now?" Disa tilted her head to one side, staring at him with her big silver eyes. "What kind of pack draws...?" She let the sentence hang, waiting for a name.
RE: You fought and died, I fought and lost - Sven - July 17, 2025
SVen was not skittish because of lack of vibrancy. He was skittish because solitude had made him so. Because he was alone and in the wilds that was often a death sentence. He was not with the large vibrant family life. Though he had it once.
This was my mother's family's land. Her families bones make up the stone circle. My father stood here, protected here. Loved here. So I suppose familial, traditional. But it has been so long since i've had that, that I am also not sure if I would still fit in such a thing.
RE: You fought and died, I fought and lost - Disa - July 17, 2025
His blood was here. Disa shifted where she sat. Like a still significant proportion of the wolves that called the wilds home, she was a wanderer, but it would be a lie to say that she wanted to stay that way. She had not intended for Verapaz to sink its teeth in her at all, but old habits and millions of years of evolution died hard.
"Try," Disa suggested, but it sounded like a command. "Go west, or north, and try. I really don't like your chances for the role of spooky loner in the woods – you're not nearly unpleasant enough, and frankly, it would be sad." Strapping young men ought to be home making babies and tending to borders.
RE: You fought and died, I fought and lost - Sven - July 25, 2025
Sven didn't not know what awaited him anymore. He really didn't l. It was painful and scary but he should figure it out.
She surprised a laugh out of him. She made it sound so easy. And maybe it was. One foot in front of the other.
You make it sound so easy. And no idea rather not be the stuff of nightmares.
RE: You fought and died, I fought and lost - Disa - July 25, 2025
Sven barked a laugh, and Disa matched it a bemused tilt of her head. It suited him to smile. "Decide that it is. The rest is.." she raised a small paw, moving it in slow circles, "..details," she punctuated, and got to her feet. The desert was waiting. "I would offer to bring you south, but you look like a wolf that appreciates the cold. And I think our exhalted leader might be a drug lord."
RE: You fought and died, I fought and lost - Sven - August 05, 2025
Sven chuckled. Just details. But we'll sometimes he got lost in details. And he was alone. Alone again. He shifted. Her next words surprised and confused him?
Drug lord?
He didnt know this word. Or what it meant.
RE: You fought and died, I fought and lost - Disa - September 02, 2025
Drug lord?
Drug wasn’t a word that Disa had grown up with either. As far as she could tell, it meant pleasurable poison. Something that became less so as time wore on and its ill effects took hold.
"A bad guy," she clarified with a shake of her head. But fascinating, in his own ugly way. Disa began to turn away. "Take care, lonely wolf. I hope you don't stay that way. "
