Dragoncrest Cliffs Worries drowning me like waves

@Aduin perhaps? :)

Sebastian looked at the beach down the coast from between the cliffs he wanted to claim as his own. His face looked worried which were caused because of several reasons. Winter had settled in, it was getting colder. Sebastian hadn't seen Maja around or Haven for that matter. Their little pack of four was slowly dissolving. To add even more dramatics that crazy witch of a wolf had followers now and started her pack on the beach he was before. Sebastian had to consider the fact that they might have to settle somewhere else. But, Haven had liked the coast, and these cliffs, this territory was perfect for what they wanted from their lands. 

The brooding male looked out over the sea, the cold winds tugging on his silvery grey fur. He was worried he wasn't going to make it. He never had the true ambition to be an alpha, he was perfectly fine following. But having Haven as a girlfriend it just seemed like a natural thing to do. His mind wandered to the girl and how worried he was. He felt like a bad partner for not knowing where she went. Maybe Aduin would know? Maybe they should have stayed in the mountains and settled a pack there. The beach felt crowded.

Aduin spotted the larger wolf from afar. And from looking around, there hadn't been any others nearby. Maybe this time, he could get to know him more. And possibly get to know about his own sister. How he had missed her in those long days. Especially after believing that she and the others had been killed off by that fire. One thing he wanted to know was how she escaped. He knew how Maja escaped, but not Haven. Had she told Sebastian? There was only one way to find out.

But as he trotted closer to the larger male, he saw a certain expression to his face. The face of worry. He slowed his trot as he approached, stopping his movement a short distance from Seb. He looked along the beach, the same way Sebastian did, trying to see what he saw. Hopefully, whatever it was would be a clue to what he worried about. The very question he had in mind was gone, and replaced by another. 

"What's wrong?" he asked confidently. He had begun to warm up to him, but with him keeping his distance was an obvious sign that he wasn't fully confident around him.

Sebastian didn't need to wait long for Aduin to appear. He greeted him with a nod of his head. The nervous male could instantly tell something was wrong. Sebastian let out a long sigh. "I don't know where Haven is and I am worried. I also haven't seen Maja around. Do you know where they are?," he questioned. Sebastian would hate to loose Haven. He couldn't handle another female going away. Then he would just give up hope on love ever again. Everyone would leave him. He would just go back to the Caldera and be a bachelor forever. Sebastian disliked that prospect.

"A pack settled on the beach there, and they aren't that nice," he admitted, glancing at Aduin. "Would you still want to settle here or would you perforate mountains? I know Haven likes the beach and the forest. I like the mountains, this area is basically perfect with its cliffs, ocean sides and the part of the forest." He needed her insight. Where was she?!! Did she have second thoughts about them? Why would she be away for so long?

Incoming nervous breakdown!

Aduin seized up. Were they gone? Did they just up and leave them, abandoning them to whatever fate had in store. His eyes looked as though they had grown much too big for their sockets, bulging with fear present. No, he couldn't lose them again. It would destroy him, mentally, physically, and emotionally. All the memories of what he had gone through after the fire, being alone, rushed back like the winds of a hurricane.

"Gone? W-what do you mean gone?!" He shouted, his voice becoming a higher pitch than normal. He panted loudly. The fear was getting back to him. The sudden panic attack put a strain on his heart. Even if the one he trusted the most in the world had been Sebastian, he would not survive another day after knowing they were gone. 

He stared in disbelief, the kind of stare one gives after declaring someone to be dead, even though they are very much alive. In an instant, the nervous Aduin was gone, replaced by someone who would go through any lengths to find his sisters."Who cares where we should go?! My sisters are out there, somewhere! We don't worry about all this until we find them!" [size=small]Realizing how he had just snapped, he backed down, his tail hugging his rear leg and his head lowering. "I'm s-sorry. I shouldn't have exploded like that."[/size]

Poor Soul <3

Sebastian stayed calm through Aduin's breakdown. He realized he shouldn't have stated it that way. Sebastian shook his head calmly. "Aduin. Clam down," he spoke softly and stepped closer. "I don't think they are gone gone, you know. I at least hope not. I love Haven. She wouldn't leave me." He certainly hoped he was right about that. He stepped closer to the male and nudged him to calm him down. So Aduin also didn't know where the two females went. 

"I just haven't seen them in a while and I am just worried," he admitted and looked at Aduin. "Did they tell you were they went perhaps? Maybe we can find them. I promise that I won't leave you what even happens," he then spoke. Though, Sebastian couldn't look too grim on this. Haven was just exploring and forgetting the time, or something. "Haven is a warrior. She is fine. I was just wondering."

Aduin slowed his breath, closing his eyes. Imagining his happy place. A lush meadow, with all his family and friends there. All smiling. The scene brought peace and tranquility to him. No fire. No death. All happiness. Even Sebastian was there. And some others he'd only met once. Ones he had seen the good side of. 

After leaving that scene, reality came back to him. He listened to Seb's question. And he did not know the answer. She had never told him anything about leaving for a trip or something of the sort. He had to control his emotions to prevent another breakdown. And the male's last words were very comforting. He never knew she was the fighting type, but he trusted Seb enough to believe it. So he shook his head as an answer.

"Where do we start?" he asked quietly. He had to know. They were going to look for them, right? Either way, Aduin was going to. Alone, or with Seb.

Sebastian looked at Aduin, he couldn't really let all his worry flow to the male since then he would have to deal with the nervous wolf having a breakdown. Aduin did think very practical. Sebastian liked this. If they were lost search for them. How easy was that solution. "Not sure, I think they went to the North, we could go and look there? Maybe hunt a seal together in the process? I feel a bit hungry? How about that?" This was he and Aduin could also bond more perhaps. He did feel like Aduin was becoming closer to him already. 

Sebastian just hoped Haven would turn up soon. He was picturing the worst scenarios already, one involving her being taken by his father and being held as a captive. Still, then that contradicted with how much of an amazing warrior she was. Sebastian was starting to be pretty desperate to have his girlfriend back. Hopefully Maja would be with her. They couldn't be a pack with the three of them after all. Maybe a relocation would be better than the settle close to that witch.

Short reply. With the move happening soon

Aduin, without any acknowledgement of the plan, started off north, or at least what he thought to be north. It was actually south, but he was too worked up to think about that. Although, if he had known what lay south of their position, he would be thinking about it. "Let's get going, then..And we'll make the kill quick" he stated. Indeed he was hungry, but all he wanted was to find his two sisters before anything bad happened.

Oh you are moving?

Sebastian was glad that Aduin agreed to his plan. The wolf was pretty keen on looking for them. "This way Aduin!," he corrected. He wanted to move towards the northern part where the river would go into the sea, above the territory they would claim. Since he explored the beach with the sea witch and the forest around it he didn't think Haven would go further than that. Maybe she just liked the beach or moved deeper through the forest to the east. 

Sebastian knew if they followed the river down stream they would be ending at the beach, which possibility contained seal too. It would give a good meal for the two males. Hopefully they would find @Haven and @Maja.

Yeah. To Hawaii

Aduin stopped and turned his head back, a sheepish look on his features. "Right." He backtracked, this time going the correct way behind Sebastian. All Aduin could do was worry about his sisters. Where could they have gone? And why did they leave without any notice? It just didn't seem like them to do that. 

Ahead of them, Aduin spotted a flock of seals. With a few young ones, and a few elderly. He scanned through them from a distance, trying to pick the odd ones out. The perfect ones to catch. "What do you think?" he asked Seb, wanting his opinion on which to take. He wanted it to be a quick one.

Sounds like a big move!! Goodluck!

Once Sebastian and Aduin reached the beach after the cliffs it didn't take long until they spotted the seals. There were a few. Sebastian scanned the beach. "Well, mothers protect their young so maybe a young wouldn't be smart? But a mother might be too big?," he analyzed the group. He looked at Aduin wondering if he might be up for some seal hunting. Sebastian knew the tactics now. But one had to hold the prey by its tail while the other tired to kill it. Still he wondered if Aduin was strong enough for a seal. 

"Okay, lets try and take a little one. I will grab its tail and drag it up the beach as quickly and as far as I can. Then you kill it. Okay?," he asked if the nervous male was okay with that. Hopefully the mother would be too slow on land. "Maybe chase the mother to the waters as I drag her child up the beach?," he then suggested. That might be a good tactic.

Thanks. I also have my graduation tomorrow. what a big week

[/size]

Aduin thought about Sebastian's plan over in his head. He could definitely try to kill a seal, even though he'd never done so. But getting an adult to chase him. Well, they were slow. Although it would be a dangerous job for him, especially with his nervous nature. He could always try, but it would be a dangerous move. 

"I c-could try to lead it away" he said with an unsure tone. "Just give me the go ahead when you are ready." He readied himself, still continuously looking for another way. Then he found it. A seal pup had begun wandering away from it's mother, who was distracted by another approaching seal. A smirk slowly appeared across his mouth. "There" he pointed out the pup, pointing his muzzle in it's general direction.

Dice roll? And if so, 10?

Wow! Amazing! Good Luck! Roll was Successful

Sebastian nodded to Aduin and scanned the beach like he head. Once the other male pointed out the wandering cub that was the one the two wolves would go for. At least Sebastian made that decision now. He gave a clear nod to Aduin and creeped closer. "Watch the mother, and the others," he called out just before grabbing the seal pup by its tail. Instantly Sebastian rushed off while the little blubber pup cried out and made a lot of noise. 

Sebastian held the pup. It seemed most of the seals rushed to the sea for safety. Now it was up to Aduin to kill the baby. It was a cruel job but Sebastian was hungry and they needed to refuel if they wanted to look for the two sisters.

same thread. Surprisingly, successful as well.

Aduin waited for Sebastian, slowly approaching while Seb neared the prey. Obeying Seb's command, he watched the seals go for the sea. And surprisingly, so did the mother. What a way to abandon their only child, or what he assumed to be the only child.

Once Seb was close enough with the pup, he charged quickly. This was turning out a lot like that time with the wolfess, Harlyn, how he killed the pup. Only slightly different. He snapped at the neck, as he charged past, the momentum helping tear at the neck. Which hurt his lower jaw a little, as well from the contact. He then darted back to finish it off.

He withdrew once it stopped flailing around, and licked the blood from the fur around his lips. "A fine kill, don't you think?" he asked the larger wolf. He could already taste the blood, and his hunger grew.

500th post goes to you! :D

Sebastian let out an excited woof when Aduin killed the seal. It took him a moment but even a big guy like him took a while to get through the blubber and kill the seal. Sebastian's tail was wagging. "Great job Aduin! We are an amazing team!," he grinned and nudged him excitedly. With them having a meal did cheer up Sebastian's spirits. Food always cheered him up. "Let's eat and then we can look for your sisters," he stated. 

Sebastian bit through the blubber, happily feasting on the organs of the baby seal. They would probably have some left overs. Sebastian didn't want to over eat to the point they couldn't look effectively for Haven and Maja. Sebastian made way so Aduin could eat too, they were friends, no rank order was between currently. Maybe once the pack would be established there would be one.

Congrats on reaching 500!

Aduin sat back, waiting patiently. They may have been friends, but he still thought Seb to be above him, no matter what the larger wolf believed. He watched Sebastian dig into the blubber. Hunger eating away at him. And once Seb was done, he began digging in himself into the neck wound he made. The wound made it easier to get through the blubber, and under it to all the juicy fat underneath.

Once done, he sat back upright, then stood to all fours before continuing on. "Let's find them" he said, stopping while waiting for Seb to take the lead.

Sebastian was mildly surprised to see that Aduin didn't eat with him. Still the male wasn't going to comment on it. He somewhat liked the idea that Aduin saw him as higher ranked, still he would make sure Aduin wouldn't feel that lower than him. Sebastian left some good parts for Aduin, he deserved it. The large male made room and let his brother-in-law eat as he licked himself clean.

Once Aduin was done Sebastian pushed himself to his feet. "Yes, lets go," he spoke with a nod and started walking. He let out a loud howl ever other half a mile. His calls were becoming more desperate really. He was really longing to find them.

Archive?

Aduin quickly gave his muzzle a quick clean with a couple of tongue swipes along it, cleaning off most of the blood. Then, he followed Sebastian. He howled along with him. Maybe if they heard both of the males howl, they would return much sooner. He knew that Haven and Maja worried much for the nervous wolf. 

"Please be okay" he thought to himself as he went along with his brother-in-law (or soon to be) on the search for his sisters.

Sure! Fade end!

Sebastian looked with Aduin for the whole day, howling ever few miles even when they were walking back. It didn't help both of the males mood. Sebastian was tired and upset at the end, which was probably not helping with Aduin being so nervous. He hoped they would be okay too, but it seemed they weren't in reach of their howls. That was what worried him. Sebastian let out a soft sigh and then went home with Aduin. He found comfort in the male for the time being but he still missed Haven...
