Mitora and Cureyn- exploring

Mitora sniffed the wind blowing through. The ocean was behind her. She could hear it splashing and it seemed to call out to her like it always did. She lay down on some washed up seaweed, licking at her ginger paw, which was salty. Cureyn jumped out of a big bed of seaweed as a fox. He changed into a ermine and then brought her a rabbit. She tore at it hungrily, and offered him some. He grabbed a small peice.

It had been a long time since they had eaten. Mitora could still remember that rogue looking at her so lovingly, when she offered some herbs and meat. Mitora could still see the rogue's eyes glazed over, while the dead body lay on the cave floor. She didn't like to think about it though. Cureyn's eyes darted over the shore as a seagull approached. The anima and wolf were completely still while the bird picked at the dead meat.

All of a sudden, Cureyn leaped on top of it. The seagull's breath was taken out of it. Cureyn quickly bit it and then took back to where he had been sitting. Mitora smiled at her anima. He was powerful and full of energy. Cureyn looked up at her to see the proud smirk of power. Cureyn returned it, and then jumped to her side. He seemed to purr like a cat beside her.

They both then walked off, feeling the happiness surrounding them. Maybe we will be powerfull someday, Mitora thought. Maybe even leaders, Cureyn agreed. It was time to go to a new pack and gain power. They both agreed about that, and so they set off towards the main land.

Blackshadow went to take a nap. But before he did, he could smell another wolf in the area. And it was in his sleeping place! He growled, walking infront of the female. "You're in my sleeping spot." He almost shouted. "Get out." He finished speaking, giving a glimse of his teeth with a single snarl.

Mitora jumped at the sight of anouther wolf. Her lip curled and she snarled at the male. Cureyn bounded beside her. His ermine teeth were little but sharp. Mitora narrowed her gaze at the newcomer, determining his weaknesses, her tail held high. Her ginger pelt quivered with the satisfiing image that played in her mind of Mitora winning the fight if need be. "I am just traveling," she growled. Cureyn looked just as mad, "There is NO need for violence." His words sounded as if he was picturing the same thing she was.

after howling that this was his land Ocean imeadiatly began marking his territory. then he heard sounds of a comotion. walking int a thinket he saw 2 wolves. walking up to them he said, "There seems to be a problem here."

BlackShadow growled at her, but took a nap under a tree. After BlackShadow's nap the other wolf. BlackShadow bite the wolf but it his friend Sunshine he said "sorry, Shine." Sunshine said "its ok, BlackShadow opps I mean Shadow." Shadow said "what do you want, Shine?" Shine said "time to wake up, Shadow." "Ok, Shine. I'm going back to sleep, ok, Shine?" Sunshine said "ok, Shadow."

(I'm confused, sorry. :? )
Mitora took a last glance at the wolves and then sprang up, Cureyn at her heels. She ran into the deep woods, but only going to the edge of it. She glanced back at the second wolf, pondering if she should go back. She decided better of it and so headed to the north of the island. Cureyn had changed into a eagle by then and was swooping over her, catching upcoming scents. The climate here is quite warm, he murmured.

She nodded and then with a quick glance at the few shrubs, cyrstal isicles hung from the branches of the trees and every leaf was coated with ice. A warm breeze blew in unexpectedly and her ice melted. It was worth a try, Mitora thought. She stepped lightly on a rock, and it shifted under her weight. A rabbit bounded out of a nearby hole, and she raced to catch it. It jumped across a root, and she chased it like a pup. The twigs that cracked under her paws were alerting the whole forest of her hunt and it seemed to come to live. Cureyn slightly confused, turned in circles to find prey.

Mitora caught the rabbit and then signaling Cureyn, they both ran out of that weird place. (continued in Yatito Mountain)

ocean turned to wach the wolf leave and the other wolf go to sleep. ocean desided to go and hunt then to come back and check on this new wolf.

Ocean was following the scent of a hare. He was so caught up in the hunt that he almost didnt notice the other smell. The wolf smell. Ocean stood still and listened. "Arella, fly." He thought to Arella.

Ocean pointed the way of the smell and Arella took off. She changed into a sea hawk, a less prefered form but it was more suited to looking for the other wolf. Then she spotted him, a magnificent male. She landed on a rock a few yards ahead and thought to Ocean: "By the ocean, near the dead tree."

Ocean heard Arella and began trotting twards the ocean. His tail wagged once and Ocean felt himself grow slightly excited. He stopped and sat. He raised his muzzle to the sky and sounded a note of questioning. Then he stood and waited for an answer.

Ooc: That color is much easyier on the eyes

Ocean listened intently to the answering howl. He was dissapointed that it carried so little. "So, his name is Kaito." Thought Ocean. He resumed trotting twords where Arella said the wolf Kaito was.

Arella flew up into the sky and morphing into a dove she angled herself twords Kaito. She stopped short and hovered at a safe distance. "Welcome!" She chirped. Arella hoped that this new wolf would be freindly.

Arella was confused when the wolf ignored her. She turned to the other anima when she said something. "Oh, Ocean has his days too, I guess we all do." She landed next to the other anima, "My name is Arella, welcome to my and Ocean's territory." Arella smilled a bird smile. "Speaking of him, he should be here...... now."
Ocean emerged from the tree cover right on cue. He padded over to Tai Li and nodded his head politly, "Welcome." He then turned to Kaito. He trotted by the wolf's side then in front of him. He stopped a few feet ahead and turned to face Kaito. "Welcome to my territory." Ocean could feel his tail curling up over his back, "My name is Ocean."

Arella ignored Ocean and the other wolf paying attention only to Tai Li, "Pleased to meet you too. Yup, Ocean was born and raised here." Arella liked this stranger, and she hoped that relations with the other wolf would grow better.

Ocean was again dissapointed by the lack of Kaito's responce, "Well, feel free to stay if you want. But be carefull if your going to the mountains, theres a huge pack there." Ocean steped aside to let the stranger wolf pass. He whatched him with keen intrest.

Ocean whatched the stranger leave. He hadnt even acknowleged Ocean. If Ocean wasnt so kind hearted he would have been insulted, instead Ocean wondered why this wolf Kaito was like this.

Arella frowned as Tai Li scampered away. "I hope we meet again she called."

Ocean's stomach growled."Well, im hungry. Im going to hunt." Ocean stated as he began walking in a parralel direction that Kaito had traversed. When he came opon the stream he liked to fish in he smelled the other wolf. He had a hunch and so he looked at his old den, there was Kaito. "I hope he gets a good rest, I allways thought that den was too uncomfortable." Ocean said softly.

Meanwhile Arella had changed back into the sea hawk and was flying out over the ocean looking for fish. When she spotted one she fly high up then shot downwards. As soon as her momentum had carried her into the water and she had grabbed the fish she morphed into a fox and began swimming ashore.

Ocean turned away from the sleeping wolf and began looking for fish. He spotted a big one. Leaping into the water he drove the fish to the shallow end and soon the fish was gasping for air and splashing in the puddles. Ocean killed the fish and picked it up. He trotted over to the small den. he laid the fish in a puddle right outside the entrance so the fish wouldnt rott.

As Arella landed on beach Ocean walked up. "They're using the old den, i left them a fish. Think they'll mind?" He asked teasingly. "Mind? I think they'll love the fish if i know your fishing skills." Arella grined slyly. Ocean grabbed Arella's fish and leaped back grinning around the fish. "Hey, thats mine!" Arella shouted. Laughing like pups they shared the fish.

When the fish was done Ocean and Arella decided to explore a little. They took off in differnt directions and each began exploring.

Ocean padded off to his den. The spray of the ocean washed againt his fur lightly. A cool breeze blew through Oceans fur. Ocean came apon the area of the ocean shore that was rocky. He pased a fishing hole, one of manny in the area. Soon he could see his den, a large rock was collapsed on a slightly smaller one creating a overhang. Inside the rocks had been cleared out so only soft sand remained. Long ago some wolf had used this as a den and had dragged another large rock to cover the back opening of the den where the roof sloped down. Ocean had improved on this by digging the den down deeper at the back till he reached the ever-cool sand that you find if you dig a few feet down at the beach. Shinny rocks and pretty ones were scattered about around the sides of the inside of the den. And even a few shells were in there. The entrance to the den was protected from being flooded by a line of rocks just tall enough to keep water from going inside.

Arella changed into a dove and flew off to the other side of the territory. She came to her favorite place. The bach sand was especialy soft here. There was a ring of rocks coming out from the edge of the water in a crescent. Arella did not know how but some how a weeping willow was in the middle of the crescent. When Ocean and Arella had first found this place the tree was young and dieing. Ocean had dug a small stream going from the bigger stream to the tree and then into the ocean. After that the tree had florished.

Arella landed near the tree and morphed into a cat. She padded over to the willow and sat in her favorite spot. In this spot she was in the willow's cool shadow. The sand carresed Arella's paws. It was her favorite spot because she could see out into the sky. The ocean rolled beneath the sky and willow branches and leaves rimmed the veiw. In the distance you could partly see the closest island. The sun allmost always seemed to hang right above the island. At night the moon cast moonlight and shadows in lovely patterns apon the sand and hung in the same spot as the sun. Sighing with contentment Arella laid down. Then she closed her eyes and drifted.

Ocean stepped onto the large flat rock that was next to his den. This was where he howled to the sky. He raised his maw and howled. He sounded a song the ocean and of new discovery. He sang of life and death. He sang of the newcomers and of the sky. Lastly he sang of joy. When he was done he sat and closed his eyes. He let the wind blow through him and smiled. This was his home and his life.

After awhile Ocean opened his eyes again to look out at his loved namesake, the ocean. If Ocean wasnt tired from the events before he probally would have gone for a swim. Instead he stood and shook his fur shaking out tinny beads of sand. He then leaped off the rock onto his den's roof. Rivers of sand flew away from his paws as he landed. He stepped off and into his den. He didnt feel like exploring today. Laying down at the back Ocean stared at nothing preticular and let his mind drift over the day's events.

Arella's mind was peirced by Ocean's song and for a moment she reveled in it. Then she remembered what time it had been when she had fallen asleep. Dashing out of the willow's shelter the leaped over the wall of rocks and raced along the trail to the den. Arella was thirsty so she veered off to the stream. She slipped he head in and took a long drink. Then she resumed her rush to the den, this time she trotted.

Ocean whatched the sky grow dark. Just then Arella came in, "Sorry im late, i fell asleep." Ocean nodded his head and he yawned mightilly. Soon he was curled up and snoring lightly. Arella lay besides him and closed her eyes. For a few minutes she thought of the mighty willow living because of them. Then she embraced the darkness.
