December Deep in the woods in the Howling Forest stood a smallish wolf, her purple maekings pulsed in sunlight like veins. Her face a perfecr picture of pain, her eyes watering as she stared up at the bright blue sky. " no one can tell your crying on a rainy day huh? So what about the sunny one?" she asked the wind as her voice cracked. December usually didnt let others see her cry and she hated evwn the thought of having the salty tears stream down her face. She thought of crying as a weakness and hated even the mere thought of being weak. " mom... Why? Why couldnt you have taken me with you?" she asked the wind, her voice cracking again as she sniffeled. Today was the anniversery of her mothers death, she always found a way to sneak away feom the others and find a spot to vent out the sadness that she otherwise botteled up inside. |

Shadow
his paws hit the cold ground as quietly as Decembers tears. His soft coat blew gently in the breeze. Even though he knew he shouldent be in there terrarorie, the quiet sound of sobbing had drawn him in. He looked to the messenger wolf, his eyes soft. "why the tears young one?"

The small wolf sniffeled and didnt turn to look at the other wolf, figuring it was one of the wolves from her pack. "its nothing, just... pricked my toe on a thorn..." she lied quickly, looking down at the ground.

Shadow
shadow stepped forward a bit. His thick black fur felt hot and heavy from the warm sun. His paws crunched on some leaves that litters the ground. He cod tell she was lieing, although he chose not to say yet. "such a brittle thing to shed tears over. When life is so full, and yet so little time to live it all. " he looked over to her with a safe looking smile. "every moment should be spent with joy, no? Shurly a thorn cannot keep you down for to long. " |

December didnt respond as she shook her head, "im fine honestly." she said and then looked up at the wolf, her smile faultering as she realised this wasnt a wolf from her pack. "may i ask who you may be." she asked unsurely.

Shadow
the black wolf sighed silently. He really shoulden try to get involved into others lives, but he just couldent help it. It wa his nature to try an make things better. The sound of tears drew him in like easy prey. And judging by her domonint scent, this wolf was a pack leader. Ack leaders could often be stressed, and most of the time just needed to talk. He would know, he had been one. But sometimes, it was a deeper personal ishue. Which however, shadow had no way of telling.
He was surprized at first with the leaders question, and than reolizes he had not introduced himself. "my deepest appologies. I am shadow, walker of the lands. I have come to your terratorie to request a passing, as I am headed for WolfBone Plains to meet up with my companion. I am not as young a I once was, and the quickest way there is threw the side of your terratorie. It would be much appreciated if I could pass."
he thought about asking the messenger her name, but decided against it for now. Besides, of she was leader she would be in the area for a long time. He had a strange way of crossing paths with messengers. The old wolf loved stories and long conversations, and messengers were some of the best wolves to chat with. They often had stories that could be told for days on end, and nothing beat sitting by a lake in the cool breeze well listening to another wolf talk. |

December [/u] December studied the wolf thoughtfully, scanning him unsurely befor shrugging, "I guess you can pass through, you dont seem like you are here to hurt anyone but all the same i would appreciate it if you could stay away from the dens and others from my pack, most of the pack doesnt take kindely to strangers." she explained quietly. " where do you come from, you look like a traveler." The small wolf stood as she spoke befor sitting back down agian as if getting comfortable for a long story like a small pup. [/center] |

Shadow
Shadow smiled, and nodded. "I will be shur to keep my distance. Thank you, it is much appreciated." his paws felt soden, and he reolized he had been standing in sinking ground. He quickly arrows away from the sinking plot.
"I come from manny lands. I have been to the place were the sun almost touches the earth ans it decends. I have been to everwinter, a cold vally were spring never comes. The wolves there all have snow white pelts, and long thick fur. I have been to the ocean, a great body of water that has the saltyness of blood and the tast of dirt." he cringed at the thought of that sticky, salty water. "I have seen messengers from all the gods, exept Thor. I have met a manny wolves with stories of aciant wars and strange occurrences. But alas, I am just a runt of the litter originally from a small pack in a vally called the vale. My pads are tough, as is my spirit. I am a traveler, but now adays I tend to moove more slowly from place to place. It seems my time will come soon, were I will walk among rthe stars with the gods to watch me."

December [/i] December listened intently, smiling at the face he made when he spoke of the oceans salty water and nodded as he spoke, taking in the information gladely. " as ypu can see i am a messamger wolf for Nova, the goddess of eternity... Sometimes i wonder if i really am a messamger wolf and not just some dumb mutt who was born with strange markings. I have never heard from my goddess and i doubt i ever will, im also pretty sure that if she ever needed to speak to one of her messangers it wouldnt be me. I was raised in a small pack aswell with my two brothers and father, my mother died a few weeks after i was born so i grew up amongst mostly boys. " "At a young age i was taken to the hollow to be trained to be a messanger, beong taught to be stronger, faster, an smarter than other wolves, to push myself further and harder until i collapse. After i was ceremonialy bound to nova as her messanger they let me off on my own to return to my pack but i refused, i wouldnt go back to thoughs abandoners who just left me there, not even carein to check in everyonce in a while so on that day i decided i would never return to my old pack and joined the eastern winds. I worked my way up to beta and when the old pack leader died in a fight i took up the role as pack leader and made it my reaponsibility to kill the wolf who killed him." December finished talking as her voice quivered and she bit her lip angerly at the thought of who killed her old leader.[/center] |

Shadow
Shadow listend quietly, not inturupting. As a messenger of Nova, he understood her lack of contact. He had crossed A few messengers of Nova, two of three whicch never revived word from the god. It was not an unushual thing, although it musnt feel to good being a messenger and not ever reciving contact. He nodded, hearing about her family. He had no siblings, nor parents. But that was long past.
Hearing about her refusel to go back to her pack surprized him slightly. Most messengers were admired for there specialty. not always the cace he made a mental note. This was intreating information, that he might use for other wolves. No wolf had ever brought up there pack acceptince, but maby in the furture more might.
Shadow nodded along as she talked bout working her way up to beta. He had somthing to say, but respectfully held his toung until she was finished. "killed in a battle you say?" his tone was soft, but it had a serious tone to it. "I know you must feel pain for losing your leader. He was probubly a great leader, a wize one to make you deputy. However, when a wolf dies in a fair battle he dies with honor. By avenging his death, you mohr mescaring or shaming that honor."

December [/i] December shook her head at the traveling wolf, " there was no fair battle. If you havent heard or noticed this pack is neutral, we dont usually get involved with the fued between red and blue eyes unless we are wrongfully attacked or somehow dragged into it. I shouldnt really call the attack on my the pack that killed my leader it a battle, it was more like an ambush. It happened when the hunters where out hunting and the warriors where doing their patrols. I was at the nearby river teaching an apprentice when i heard barking and snarling and screams and terror. I rushe back to the dens to find red eyed wolves attacking the pack, of course we enaged them, no pack would just let its self be killed off. " She shifted uncomfortabley as she continued with the story,"Anyways we defended against them the best we could, when some of the others made it back and joined in on the fight i hurried to go check on Deandre because even though i knew he could handle himself he was an old wolf, probably 7 or 8 years old then, but when i got there he was already dead and next to him was a wolf covered in his blood with thoughs horrible red eyes that felt lile they could burn right through you. You know what was the worst part of that evening? It was not being able to stop thoughs.... Blood hungry savages from getting away..." Decembers eyes teared up as she spoke of her leader and the red eyed wolf who had murdered him and she looked at the ground, grinding her teeth angerly.[/center] |

Shadow
Shadow listened quietly. A nutral pack? Now that Did surprize him. He had never crossed a nutral pack before. Come to think of it, he had never even come across a grey eyed leader before. Curious...
well, a nutral pack would probubly be in danger from attacks on both sides. Still, an ambush in ones own terratorie? What was wih these strange lands? Do wolves have no honur?
If there was ever a time to comfort the messenger wolf, it was now. Shadow presses up against her lightly, in a friendly way. His soft black fur felt warm and smooth. "do not be ashamed of crying, young one. The world can be a sad place at times. You have been threw much, and taken much pain." His voice was soft, and sounded young for a moment.
He pulled away from her, not wanting to make her uncomfortable. "still, revenge is a crime most fowl. The wolf with red eyesmust have done more wickedness to obtain eyes so grusom. Revenge puts a wickedness into ones heart that cannot be lost, maby even wicked enough to change the eye color From grey to red." he said, in a sirious tone now. |

December [/u] December didnt respond as she stared at the ground, she stiffened at his touch when he tried to comfort her but didnt say anything. Soon she relaxed and sighed, " im sorry, i didnt mean to ramble on about nothing, i actually need to go and take care of some business." she said as she stood and looked around unsurely. |

Shadow
shadow started walking, but stopped. " DOnt listen to a scruffy old wolf like me, anyways." he almost chuckled. "follow your heart, do what feels right. it will not lead you astray." he said, and padded off in the direction of wolfbone plains. "i hope dawn hasnt gone and gotten herself into trouble." he sighed quietly. "good day!" he barked over his back as he padded along. |

December [/u] December smiled slightly at the wolves words, " bye." she called back quietly and then looked back towards the direction of the dens. " time to do some rounds." she said quietly amd sighed again as she headed towards the border to do her rounds around the territory.[/center] |
