Nova Peak Ultra music festival anthem

I'm hoping for @Paarthurnax, @Julius or @Durnehviir but anyone's welcome! :)

After an afternoon of swimming, Relonikiv collapsed in the center of the rendezvous site and began snoring almost immediately. He slept through dinner and might have snoozed right on through 'til morning if he hadn't woken up around midnight to pee. Sleepily, he pushed himself onto all fours and located the favorite latrine just beyond the clearing. He squatted, the sound of his stream hitting the grass the only noise in the breathless March night.

As he emptied his bladder, he gazed up at the moon soaring above the scanty treetops at the clearing's edge. Something about its radiance seemed to invigorate him. He finished peeing and stood upright, then skulked to the other side of the open space to help himself to some leftovers in a small stockpile there. Once he finished eating, he felt even more awake and sat there, blinking owlishly up at the starry night sky.

It was blatantly obvious now, but Bazi did not want to risk jinxing it. She continued to vomit as discreetly as possible, and did her best not to comment on the fact that every scent was either repugnant or the best thing ever to enter her nostrils.

Unfortunately, pee was almost impossible to resist. Bazi was on her feet before Relonikiv had emptied so much as 10% of his bladder, his aunt turned mother turned back again was on her feet. She waited for him to move away before creeping forward to inhale deeply of the warm, steaming puddle that was fast draining away, forgetting that its owner was munching away on scraps mere meters away.

After a time, his eyes dropped back to a more earthward level and Relonikiv started when he saw the white silhouette across the clearing. He quickly recognized Bazi and rose back onto all fours, padding over to her. She appeared to be sniffing something. When he reached her, the puppy did the same. It seemed this was where he'd emptied his bladder. He blinked his pale silver eyes, shooting Bazi an inquisitive but nonjudgmental look. They were canines, after all.

"Why you awake too?" he whispered to her after a moment, suddenly noticing the way the moonlight struck her ivory coat. He admired it for a moment, then returned his gaze to her face, albeit making a point never to look her right in the eye. The last thing on earth little Relonikiv represented was a challenge to authority.

"Why you awake too?" a little voice queried. Bazi immediately raised wide, staring eyes to look at Relonikiv, but it took her brain several seconds to emerge out from maintenance mode. "Uhm.." she mumbled whilst it booted up, and ended up giving her head a few sharp, disciplinary shakes. "Pregnant," she announced without really thinking how the pup would take the news. "My body doesn't know what it's doing. It's exhausting." A conversation better fit for the boy's mother, but she was sound asleep.

His pale face scrunched up in confusion at Bazi's answer. "Preg-nant?" he repeated, enunciating the word oddly. It was the first time he'd ever heard it (that he could remember, anyway) and he couldn't begin to guess at its meaning. "What'that?" Relonikiv wondered, then something else clicked in his small but sharp brain and he asked, "If you'th ecth, uh, ecthauthted... then why you not thleeping?"

Relonikiv stumbled his way through the complicated word jungle like an elephant on roller-skates, but Bazi smiled widely at him nonetheless. He was trying - and his mispronunciation did make her wince, but she had learned that it would not help him to criticize his attempts. The lisp seemed to be a permanent affliction. "Pregnant," she repeated, "You know - there are babies in me. Like you, except a lot smaller." Presuambly. "And because they're growing, well.. they eat all the food I eat, and I feel sick because.. because..." Why, exactly? Bazi frowned, and stepped around the cooling pee to be closer to the pup. "I don't actually know why it makes me sick, but it's hard to sleep."

He didn't know, and when she explained, he slow-blinked in response. There were babies, inside her? Growing inside her? Eating the food she ate? And making it impossible to sleep, to boot. Relonikiv absorbed this information but struggled to process it. He was not old enough yet to wonder about his own origins, so he had literally never given this subject any thought. Now his small but sharp mind whirled with about two thousand questions.

"Why they inthide you? How they get there?" the runt wondered. Then he asked the important question: "How they get out?" As he asked, Relonikiv eyed Bazi's moonstruck figure, namely her belly. That's where the pups must be, though of course he couldn't see them because (mind = blown) they were on the inside.

It was a trap. Before she knew it, Bazi was having The Talk, and of all the wolves in Nova Peak, she was the most ill-equipped to deal with the situation.


Come to think of it, had Shar-Kali ever officially explained what happened between a lady and her jizz chariot, or had the knowledge simply come from exposure to several older brothers? Both had been lewd, and it hadn't taken Bazi and her siblings long to work out how babies were made. But the process had been slow, and she had come about the information without even realizing it.

"Ah.." she began, sitting heavily. Relonikiv stared at her still flat belly, and Bazi turned to look at it too. "Scimitar put them in there. With.. his.." Bazi hesitated. With his what? His love and adoration? The Alpha breathed a deep sigh and turned back to face Relonikiv, exhaustion plain on her face. She was too tired for bullshit, and too unimaginative to employ any level of metaphor. Relonikiv was getting it straight. ".. with his penis." Well, why the hell not. "He put the tiny babies in there with his penis, they grow for a while, and then they come out the same same way. Apparently it hurts."

He was too young and innocent to feel embarrassed when his aunt turned foster mother (and back again) explained it without any sugarcoating whatsoever. Relonikiv chewed on the inside of his cheek, failing to understand how exactly that worked. But he was curious—more curious than he'd ever been about anything before. Simultaneously, he felt an odd clenching sensation in his abdomen, though he didn't notice this consciously.

"How?" he asked quietly. How was his foster father's bits capable of such magic? "Where?" he added. Relonikiv didn't know where they'd come out if he didn't know where Scimitar's ding-dong had put them in the first place. "Your bellybutton?" he guessed, cinnamon ears perking.

The news that it hurt caused the child to frown and lapse into silence. How badly would it hurt? Why would Scimitar do something to Bazi to hurt her? Relonikiv shook his head, trying to sort out his thoughts. It was difficult. He was definitely in over his head. It probably didn't help that, despite his energy moments ago, he was starting to feel drowsy after all.

Your bellybutton? If only. Did wolves even have one of those? Bazi shook her head, her face set in an expression of intense and severe grimness. By this point, she was only really half-aware that Relonikiv was there at all, and the mental picture of a gruesome, bloody birth was unfolding before her eyes. "No," she murmured darkly, staring beyond Relonikiv's golden head. "A second butt."

The pup didn't know whether to laugh or scream at this news. His pale eyes widened, looking just like miniature versions of the moon, and he stared in bewilderment for a long moment. Relonikiv didn't know what to make of it, or how to feel about it.

In the end, curiosity won out and he demanded, "Why you get two?!" And then, a bit more quietly, "Can I thee it?"

"Why you get two?! Can I thee it?"


Bazi had the presence of mind to shake her head, although she was rather curious to know if the state of her rear end had changed in the last couple of weeks. She was aware of her Second Butt in a way she had not been before her heat and subsequent pregnancy. It was now a focal point of her existence whether she liked it or not. She Alpha shifted, thought seriously about getting Relonikiv's opinion on the state of her posterior.. and shook her head again, remembering what had happened last time he had come too close to his foster-mother's genitals. "It's invisible right now," she lied.

Bazi reported that it was invisible, which was both disappointing and intriguing. "How...?" The word tumbled out of his mouth before he could put any thought into it. How on earth did she possess invisible body parts? "Oh," he added within three seconds, inexplicably coming to terms with it. "Like the puppieth." Maybe her second butt was inside of her with them. Well, that made sense then... even if there were gigantic blanks in much of the pup's understanding of pregnancy and childbirth.

"I'm thleepy," Relonikiv said next. This likely wouldn't be the end of the subject—surely he would ask more questions as Bazi's pregnancy progressed and became more visible—but he was too tired to pursue the subject further right now. "Wanna thnuggle with me?" he asked innocently, casting her a sleepy smile.

Have my 1000th! :)

Bazi looked on wearily as Relonikiv sorted out the masses of information she had just dumped on his young head. Was this how she would tell her own children about the birds and the bees? ...probably. For all its inelegance, Bazi's homespun method of conducting Sex Education left little to the imagination. Penis, second butt, puppies. Relonikiv could work out the specifics in his own time, with his own lady friend. Given his history, Bazi doubted it would be long before the whelp began to test the water in that department. Ideally it wouldn't be with her.

But for now, Relonikiv seemed to have had his fill of the subject. Bazi responded to his request with a bob of her head and a relieved "Sure, sweetie. Let's snuggle." The nausea seemed to be on break, but its working day was far from over. Bazi banked on a couple of hours before it returned for seconds. With that fact weighing on her shoulders, Bazi sloped off in the direction of the warm pile of bodies that represented their combined family. She gave Relonikiv's gold-spun ruff a gentle nip as she passed him, smiling fondly down at the boy's fuzzy head. No matter how many children of her own Bazi squeezed into the world, there would always be a place in her heart reserved exclusively for the sweet little boy with a lisp.

Aw, congratulations! I think you get my last post with Relonikiv before I remove him. :')

Bazi readily agreed, then made her way back toward the pile of warm bodies. When she nipped at him, he waved his tail and fell into step behind her. It was wonderful having his mother and sister back in his life and his love for his brother, Julius, had never wavered. But there was a particular fondness for the white woman, even with two butts and a bellyful of puppies. Just like there was a special place in his heart for Scimitar, her mate, who was snoring close by.

When she settled, he readily snuggled up to Bazi, crooning a note of affection low in his throat. "Nini, Bathi," he murmured, placing a gentle lick to her lower jaw before his cream head drifted down to his over-sized paws. The moon and stars were reflected in his mercury eyes for a moment as he gazed fondly at Bazi's face, then his lids fell shut as the little boy sought sleep.
