For anyone in Swiftcurrent Creek. :D
The silver wanderer had kept his word, at least for a while. He knew that the urge to go exploring would not cease but it would pause, for a while. He was sitting beside the Creek again, wondering why did he even stop exploring. No Creek wolves came by for quite sometime now, it was early afternoon and he was ready to break his vow.
Eyes wandering wearily as he drank from the Creek's edge. A flash of silver went by and he dove into the waters and resurfaced with a large fish clamped in his jaws. Shaking his now wet fur, he sat down on a patch of sunlight and began eating his afternoon meal. Perhaps now someone would come by soon. He did not care whether he had talked to them moments before or months before, he just wanted someone's company.
And if no one came, he would be gone.

Since Shadow's been doing a lot of exploring, I thought we could do an outrider thread.. :D
Since Shadow's been doing a lot of exploring, I thought we could do an outrider thread.. :D
It was becoming apparent to Bazi that the outrider job did not marry well with a leadership role. She was needed at the Creek - at all times, to guard it, fight for it, and inspire the wolves within its borders to do the same. Now more than ever, it was important for the pack to see its leader - to know that she was always there.
She would have to give up exploring.
At first, she refused to acknowledge the need to retool - fond memories of trips across the mountains kept the young Alpha from making it official, and she made lofty, reckless plans to sneak into the forests below Jinx's mountain. But none of them came to pass; in fact, Bazi had scarcely strayed further than Duck Lake in weeks.
It was when she was on the cusp of accepting what needed to be done that Bazi spotted Shadow at the water's edge, munching on a freshly caught fish. He was diligently present at all meetings, but she knew that he frequently crossed the borders - to explore, she presumed, but had never asked. Bazi trotted to join him, tail wagging behind her and dainty features arranged into an expression that suggested an idea was brewing.
"Hey," the pale Northerner called, closing the remaining distance with two graceful leaps. She left several feet of space to signal that she did not wish to have his food, nor interrupt the meal. Instead, she sat down and waited for the morsel already in Shadow's mouth to disappear down his throat before speaking. "So, Shadow.. I've noticed that you make a lot of trips? Where do you go? Have you seen anything worth reporting?"

Yay, sure. :) Set after scheming at the cauldron.
"So, Shadow.. I've noticed that you make a lot of trips? Where do you go? Have you seen anything worth reporting?"
The silver wanderer had noticed his Alpha but was too busy eating his fish to speak. Swallowing the last piece of fish, he turned to look at Bazi, his gaze thoughtful.
Uh, sorry for leaving the Creek so frequently...
he muttered, I went to a lot of places, the sea, The Heartwood and a bunch of other places, met a bunch of wolves and other animals on the way too.
He shook his head at her last question. Haven't actually seen anything really worth reporting, Bazi.
August 17, 2014, 05:00 AM
It was Shadow's 225th apology in her presence. Bazi wondered if loneliness had done that to him, or he had simply been raised that way. It was endearing at the same time as it frustrated her, but she supposed it might be temporary.. he had dealt firmly with a number of newcomers, and represented the pack well.
"Let me be the judge of that," she responded with a slight shake of her head. "You aren't in a position to know what has changed. You said you went to the sea.. did you go to Horizon Ridge? It's east of the island out at sea, at the very end of the Sunspire range. I marked that trail once, actually. Did you see any small piles of rock?" The trail hadn't been maintained in a while, and now she wondered why she ever created it. Why make things easy for the enemy?

Wait, 225th apology?
"You aren't in a position to know what has changed. You said you went to the sea.. did you go to Horizon Ridge? It's east of the island out at sea, at the very end of the Sunspire range. I marked that trail once, actually. Did you see any small piles of rock?" The silver wanderer tilted his head slightly as he thought, had he been to Horizon Ridge? No, he hadn't went over to that side, he had only gone as far as Ravensblood Forest and directly to the sea.
The silver prince shook his head, No, I didn't go to Horizon Ridge. I've only gone to Ravensblood Forest and from there, directly to the sea.
he answered, platinum gaze thoughtful as he licked his paws clean, wondering why would Bazi ask him specifically about Horizon Ridge. Was there anything special about that place, except for the fact that Bazi had marked that trail before.
He tilted his head slightly and met Bazi's blue gaze with his own platinum ones for a brief moment before looking away again. Why?
he asked simply.
August 19, 2014, 12:23 PM
Exaggeration - it's 2, but she's dramatic.
Ravensblood Forest. Presumably that meant that Ragnar's pack hadn't spread. A curious expression crossed the Alpha's face. "There used to be a pack on the ridge to the east of Ravensblood Forest," she explained. "I wasn't a huge fan of their Guardian at the time..but this was months ago. I'd be interested to know if they're still there. There used to be a pack on the other side of the Sunspire, actually. The big bitch that led them used to wander onto our side of the mountains constantly." Bazi's treatment of the vast, golden Alpha of the long-gone Vale pack had been tentative at time - but those days were gone. She was no longer a soft wolf.
"What would you say to a charting mission? I'd like to know which packs live on or near the mountains, and which packs have traveled further afield.." Where was Jinx, for example?

"I don't know about a pack on the east of Ravensblood Forest but I do know that there is a pack called Stavanger Bay. I met a few of their wolves, one called Beric and the other cloaked in platinum silver with blue eyes." he stated.
"What would you say to a charting mission? I'd like to know which packs live on or near the mountains, and which packs have traveled further afield.." The silver wanderer tilted his head, silver eyes gleaming. "I'm in." he said, after thinking it through for half a second. Any mission that involved traveling was a mission that involved him.
He rose to his paws, "Are you coming along, Bazi?" he smiled.
August 23, 2014, 06:11 AM
Stavanger Bay? Bazi's eyes turned into blue slits. "And would you say they are far enough away?" she questioned. She did not twig that the pale, blue-eyed guardian of Stavanger Bay was in fact Ragnar - there seemed to be no shortage of wolves that shared her colouring in the Teekon Wilds.
When Shadow rose, she did the same, but shook her head at his question. "I can't. But you do need an accomplice. What about Kaskara..? She's a strong girl, and she knows that side of the mountains."

"I can't. But you do need an accomplice. What about Kaskara..? She's a strong girl, and she knows that side of the mountains."
He frowned, it wasn't because he didn't like Kaskara, okay maybe it was but it was mostly about her not going. Was she really giving up the life of an explorer, a life of an outrider? He sighed softly, moved forward to touch his nose onto her forehead before withdrawing. "I do wish you were coming with us, Bazi." he said softly.
"It shouldn't be a problem to travel with Kaskara, although we both don't seem to like each other. It shouldn't be too bad." he looked into Bazi's blue gray eyes as he tilted his head slightly. "Are you giving up the life of an explorer, of an outrider?" he asked softly, knowing she had her duties as an Alpha of the pack.
August 23, 2014, 09:51 AM
"...although we both don't seem to like each other."
Far from being worried, Bazi was delighted by the fact that Shadow and Kaskara weren't particularly fond of each other. It was a sign that a pack of strangers was starting to become a family. She laughed her high, girlish laugh, returning Shadow's touch with a wet lick to the bridge of his nose. "I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time together, then," she teased. "Don't worry about me. I'm not much of an explorer anyway. I mean - look at me! Have you seen anything whiter? You can spot me from a mile away, and I don't think I'm turning into much of a diplomat, either. You know Horizon Ridge, that I was talking about? The Guardian there is into some disgusting quasi-religious ... rubbish, and I told him as much. If I met any one of them I wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut. So, it's better I stay here." She smiled again. "Go find Kaskara now, head outrider."
