another day another time

The silver outrider licked his lips at the thought of a meal of ducks. Hopefully the population had grew after the hunt with Star. He was hungry and probably could eat five or more ducks today, besides thanks to Danica, they were now one of his favourite meals. Favourite easy meals.

All ducks do were stupid, swimming around aimlessly. They literally leaped into his jaws, waiting to be killed and eaten by the ashen male. He arrived at the edge of the lake and scanned its inhabitants. The lake was brimming with ducks and Shadow thought he'll be doing the lake a favor to get rid of some, so better, larger healthy ducks could grow and be killed and eaten again.

Such was a simple and horrid life but he doubted that they even knew that, he shrugged, and dove into the water, crushing a duck's neck with his jaws and swimming back to shore, placing the piece of prey down. His pelt sleek fro the water, he shook himself before preparing to dive in again.

I am so sorry for my late reply! I have been sick and busy for the last week or so... Here is my late response, again so sorry.

The sound of splashing alerted Aleera to the possibility of someone nearby. Her mindless wondering had led her to many of her own pack mates before perhaps they had once more. Lifting her muzzle to the air she would search for any familiar scents, but could find none that she recognized. Now that she had lifted her head she could tell that perhaps she had wondered a little to far from the territory, it did not looks as thought she was still in her territory at all... She knew this could spell trouble, while she had only been a Sunspire wolf for a few weeks now she was still a pack member none the less, her tresspassing could be seen as an act of aggression, especially with no knowledge of what territory she had wandered into. Deciding that perhaps she should find out the quietly padded over toward the sound of splashing keen on find out who it was. Aleera was cautious however, her lone wandering before had taught her to stand alone, and that it was usually best to avoid other territorial wolves. She did not hesitate though, her ears held at a point and her tail swaying nonchalant behind her. As she came out of the trees she waited for her presence to be noticed, waiting for this silver wolf to masks the first move.

*Shadow* · August 25, 2014, 01:37 AM

He made his way to the shore, a duck dangling from his jaws when the scent came. He scowled, bristling slightly as he turned to look at The Sunspire wolf. This was definitely too near the Creek for his liking. His cold platinum orbs darkened when he saw her tail swaying nonchalantly, didn't she know she was near the Creek? He wanted to rake his claws through her, sink his fangs into her, tasting filthy Sunspire blood in his jaws. But instead he adopted a cold smirk as he took a step towards her, his silver pelt sleek with water.

"What is it, Sunspire wolf? Do you not know that you are near Swiftcurrent Creek borders? Ferdie did tell you about the truce, no?" he asked, tilting his head in a curious manner as he regarded her coldly.

*Aleera* · August 25, 2014, 03:49 AM

Hearing his words Aleera narrowed her eyes, she went from passive to unforgiving in seconds. She had never meet a Creek wolf, and she had no idea that one was I front of her, but his tone and cold glare made her icy. She was never one to show emotion even now it may be hard to tell the dangerous playing field that she now was. Hearing his words she jumped to the conclusion that he was in fact a Swiftcurrent wolf, "Swiftcurrent Creek? Ah yes..." She left it hanging for a moment a chilling smirk on her lips, "we were warned about you... But I can't see why." Aleera glared right into his eyes, she was in no mood to fight but could hold her own if need be, although with the wounds she could see on his pelt he shouldn't be fighting either. She took a step closer, and another, intent on taking a drink, but she hesitated waiting for his reaction before she came a little closer.

*Shadow* · August 25, 2014, 04:10 AM

"Swiftcurrent Creek? Ah yes..."

A smirk arrived on her lips. "we were warned about you... But I can't see why." He smirked at her again. "You are new to The Sunspire are you not? Their scent is not as strong on you as they are on the others. So you will not know why you were warned." he said so matter of factly. It was true and he was merely stating a fact, nothing else.

He watched calmly as she took a step forward, then another but hesitated. He shrugged, not in a mood to fight and stepped aside. "By all means, drink. This place is unclaimed after all." he said, shrugging as he approached the lake and drank too before eying the ducks again.

He dove gracefully into the water, ready to hunt again.

*Aleera* · August 25, 2014, 04:19 AM

Aleera tilted her head narrowing her eyes once more, although she walked toward the creek and dipped her head. Although her eye never left the brute that was in her present company. When she had had her fill and lifted her head she watched as he jumped into the water, stunned for a moment, until she let out a soft laugh. What an odd thing to do... She sat back on her haunches, her fluffy tail twitching as it curled around her paws. She could see that he appeared to be stalking duck, what stupid creatures, any sane animal would have left long ago. "What are you called?" She wanted to know the names of the wolves that had threatened her pack. "And tell me... What has transpired to make you so dangerous? You fairly average to me."

*Shadow* · August 25, 2014, 06:08 AM

"What are you called?" he turned and flashed her a grin. "Do you really need to know?" before leaping at a duck, feeling his jaws closing around the quaking creature's neck and snapped it easily with his strong jaws. He tossed it towards the shore and aimed for another duck's neck.

He would eat well today. Finally he swam towards shore and shook his soaking silver pelt, droplets of water splashing all over the place, some even landed on the Sunspire wolf. He grinned at her mischievously.

*Aleera* · August 28, 2014, 01:11 AM

"Are you one to judge what I need to know?" She asked with a pointed look in his direction. "What are you called?" She repeated herself, taking a seat on the edge of the creek, her front paws soaking in the water. She waited some when impatiently for an answer and found that she was greeted with a water on her snout. Letting out a slight growl of annoyance she shook her head a little ridding it of the droplets.

*Shadow* · August 28, 2014, 05:20 AM

"I am Shadow, you?" he said, flashing her his usual smirk with the gleam of amusement flashing through his sterling eyes. He lowered himself onto his haunches and began to tear at a duck, chewing thoughtfully and swallowing, repeats and stares at the horizon. Surely there would be a territory out there that was suitable.

Finishing the duck, he moves on to his second one, the thoughtful look still in his eyes while his face remained hardened and cold. "What brings you here?" he asked the Sunspire wolf softly.

*Aleera* · August 28, 2014, 11:42 PM

Dipping her head in greeting, "Aleera." She responded, watching him dig into to one of the ducks he had caught. She had no love to the flesh of ducks, the oily feathers never seemed worth the effort to get by. "Why not?" She raised her shoulders in a shrug like manner, "This is a neutral territory is it not." Aleera stood and backed away from the edge, to lie down further away, making it easier to keep an eye on him.

*Shadow* · August 29, 2014, 04:25 AM

"Aleera." the female said. "Why not?" she said, shrugging. "This is a neutral territory is it not. He watched her as she rose to her paws and backed further away from the edge of the lake and lay down further. He offered her a faint smirk and he swallowed the last bit of his duck and moved on to the next. "Hopefully we will not be rivals later." he said softly.

He hadn't meant that the Creek and the Sunspire would not be rivals because he knew that they would. He meant that if he managed establish his own pack, he hoped to leave the rivalry with The Sunspire behind. After all once he was gone he would no longer be a Creek wolf would he?

*Aleera* · August 30, 2014, 01:51 AM

sorry for the shortness!

Aleera tilted her head in a curious fashion. "And what do you mean by such things?" She had no notion that he was leaving his pack, only that from what she had seen he was a Creek wolf. She was alway a curious creature, and needed to find the answers to everything she had a question for, this was a giant cloud of questions for her. She still had no idea what the rivilary between these two packs was about. Aleera was still very much in the dark.

*Shadow* · August 30, 2014, 03:13 AM

"And what do you mean by such things?" He laughed softly, his gaze on the Sunspire female. "I will not be staying at the Creek much longer." he spoke simply. He did not say whether he was joining another pack or making his own. She had asked and he had answered. It was as simple as that.

"What brought you to The Sunspire then? A love of mountains?" The only reason why he had chosen the Creek was because he had literally lay at its borders, tired and exhausted after running for days. He supposed he should be grateful for them taking him in and sorry to leave, but he didn't.

*Aleera* · August 31, 2014, 06:29 PM

"Leaving your pack? Risky move...Is there a particular reason?" She didn't mean to pry and would not mind all that much if he didn't answer her questions. She was more curious than anything; this, Shadow, intrigued her.

"What brought you to The Sunspire then? A love of mountains?" Tilting her head as she thought, her brows furrowed as she could find no logical reason why she had chosen this pack. "There was no reason, I simply happened to come from the right direction at the right time I suppose. I was a lone wolf long before I found the Sunspire, I guess I was just lonely." She had not told anyone that before and surprised herself, her silver orbs widening as she blinked a few times, and laughing slightly to herself.

*Shadow* · September 01, 2014, 09:42 AM

"Leaving your pack? Risky move...Is there a particular reason?" He turned his steely gaze on her. "No," he replied shrugging and it was true. He didn't actually have any particular reason, at least not just yet. "There was no reason, I simply happened to come from the right direction at the right time I suppose. I was a lone wolf long before I found the Sunspire, I guess I was just lonely."

He smiled faintly at her words. "Lonely, huh?" he repeated softly, wondering if his plan would ever work. If he would be able to actually establish his own pack. Would that even happen?

*Aleera* · September 01, 2014, 01:54 PM

Aleera nodded looking away from Shadow toward the sky. "So what now? What will you do when you have left?" She was still rather curious, he had to have a plan or at least an idea of what to do. "I do hope you have a plan, I don't know you at all, but from what I can tell you wouldn't leave with out at least some idea of where you are going next."

*Shadow* · September 02, 2014, 07:59 AM

"So what now? What will you do when you have left?" He gazed at her before flashing her a smirk and rolling his shoulders in a brief shrug "Start my new home." he said as a reply. "I do hope you have a plan, I don't know you at all, but from what I can tell you wouldn't leave without at least some idea of where you are going next." He laughed at that, "Of course I have a plan, no angel of death doesn't have a plan." she probably wouldn't understand what she was talking about since only romans or those who spoke latin would understand.

He curled his tail around his paws, lifting his head and gazing at the Sunspire female with platinum eyes in an elegant manner. He could choose either to look elegant and dignified or savage and true roman-like.

*Aleera* · September 03, 2014, 02:15 AM

"Angel of death? Sounds deadly..." She smirked, amused some what, she had little to no knowledge of other cultures, her own culture being very different from most. Although she was slightly amused she was also interested to learn what he had to say, she would never admit it, but she had a curious nature deep within. Looking toward him, awaiting an answer, and his elegant gaze she gave no mind to her appearance finding it a trivial thing at the best of times.

*Shadow* · (This post was last modified: September 04, 2014, 07:27 AM by Shadow.)

"Angel of death? Sounds deadly..." He flashed her an half amused smirk. "Don't you laugh, we are deadly, the most dangerous wolves you've ever seen." he said, serious tone though it was tinged with amusement. His gaze sought out the Sunspire female's eyes, looking at her thoughtfully. "How's the Sunspire treating you?"

His gaze turned to look at the distant horizon, thoughts swirling around his head. The plan would soon be placed in action and soon he might no longer be a Creek wolf.

*Aleera* · September 06, 2014, 10:46 PM

so sorry, I have been super sick and unable to post.

Aleera smiled nonetheless, agreeing that he was probably dangerous, but she found amusement in his confidence. "The Sunspire?" She considered them for a few moments tilting her head as she thought, she was quite comfortable where she was, the wolves that surrounded her were slowly growing on her. "They are treating me quite well, better than I had originally expected." She admitted.

*Shadow* · September 12, 2014, 08:22 PM

Last post from me :)

"They are treating me quite well, better than I had originally expected." That was the total opposite of his own situation. He flashed her a faint smirk and rose to his paws. He best be going back to the Creek now. "I should be going, nice meeting you Aleera." he said dipping his head slightly in her direction. The glint in his eye brightening with concealed amusement.

With that, he turned to go, get his plans ready and leave the Creek for it was cursed by the gods and they had told him to leave and find a better home. And the young Angel of Death was ready to follow.
