- Saul Stormbringer - 07-02-2011 pre-dated 1st July, early morning 422 words The morning of their first day in Ichika had seen the residents scatter in all directions to explore the lands and find places to stay. Nearly a years worth of rising before dawn to bathe and run saw Saul one of the first to rise and his stirrings had awoken the little girl who was growing bigger by the day. She didnt usually wake so early- her room had been on the lower floor of the cabin and she'd been tucked in bed at the time Saul had exited the cabin. So the pale female hadn't really known the extent of her guardian's deeply ingrained routine. But the pre-dawn darkness had seen them both rise from the joined furs they had lain, careful not to wake the sleeping form of his brother and his almost grown children where they had claimed the other half of the furs. They must look like such an odd family- Saul and Siku and Wretch, with Gideon, Range and Melee. The six of them were nothing alike, thrown together with different surnames but working together to make sure they stayed close. That was what Razekial and Nayru had set out to create here- a family where surnames didnt matter and a sense of care for all was created. And who knew, maybe they would achieve it here. It would take time though and the black and white fairy would have to be prepared for tensions to explode at some point in time, at the very least. He'd asked Wretch to stay and guard their belongings while Saul sought some running water, washing away the journey that had taken them far from home. His fur fluffed he'd made a quick circuit of their sleeping party of travellers, a very short and unsatisfactory run for the male who was used to running the entirety of the Dahlian borders in a few hours. Still, Wretch was up and waiting and she seemed to want to go and explore today. So he returned, swiped a lick across Siku's forehead before he nuzzled his ward and they set off on all four paws. They would go out into the Ichikan territory, find out what they could about the land, perhaps even find somewhere to sleep properly for tonight, and come back to report to the white furred, golden eyed female and his brother and family. Hopefully, they would be able to find somewhere large enough for them all- Saul wanted his brother, niece and nephew close in these strange and unchartered waters. - Wretch D'Angelo - 07-03-2011 [html]

She either asked a lot of questions of him, or was completely happy to stay in silence while they sat on the porch of the cabin and looked out over the river. With a twist in his gut the agouti male thought about the river cabin he had built with so much love. But they were here now and this was a whole knew adventure. Wretch's little voice made him smile. "We're going on an adventure Wretch. To explore this new and strange land. And maybe to find somewhere to live." He offered by way of explanation. Despite her unwillingness to talk to anyone other than Saul and occasionally Siku, he knew the little girl to be intelligent and alert. She would pick up things that he didnt see, and he vice versa. He was getting used to having her around, caring for her, providing for her. She was not his child, he was perhaps her guardian in most ways, but some days he felt love and pride swell in his chest when she achieved something knew. He wwas going to have to start teaching her how to hunt soon, and within the next few weeks her body was going to start shifting. It was all so quick that the tiny little broken puppy had grown up. Twining herself round his paws like a small child the pale coated female asked him if he liked the lands they had settled in. He hadnt seen enough of them to know whether he liked it or not. He hadnt been round the whole territory, testing Nayru's and Razekial's scent markings to make sure they were complete. He hadnt seen what else this place had to offer other than the mountain ranges that protected their backs. But what he had seen had pleased him. The lands could do with some maintenance, just a few touches here and there to make the place look a little smarter. Although they were wolves, the virus had given them human intelligence and civilisation. They didnt need to live like savages if they could help it. Green eyes found bright green looking back at him and he smiled. "I do like it here, little one. I need to see more of it though- and thats what we're going to do today. Explore." He said with a small chuckle. Leaning down and bracing his nose against her backside he tried to push her forward before he remembered her leg. But she seemed okay now, so he hoped everything was alright. Her whining made him scowl, although it was clear from the way he fought to keep the expression fixed on his face that it was no serious emotion. With a playful snap at the little girls ears, Saul bounded forward. "Slowpoke eh? Well we'll have to do something about that then, won't we?" He teased before bounding forward once more. It was times like these where the male was reminded that he was still young himself. With a laugh he jogged ahead of her, aware that her leg was still in need of some therapy to build the muscles back up again. If she could catch him, he would be rather impressed with her progress, that was for sure. - Wretch D'Angelo - 07-05-2011 [html]

Her bright green eyes looked up at him and Saul smiled softly. He was her guardian, unofficially, but she was more like a daughter to him. Perhaps they had developed a father daughter relationship- Saul may have even followed in his younger brothers footsteps. Wretch seemed to know what he was thinking and asked him a question that he didnt know the answer to. "I hope so Wretch... I havent lived with my brother since I was younger. It would be nice to be close to him and his family again. We'll see what we can find today? Something suitable for all of us!" He said, hoping his almost-daughters young mind would be able to find something that the whole family might fit in to. The little girl tried to catch up with him, but he could see it was a daunting prospect. She spoke and Saul smiled softly towards her. A brave little girl, no doubt about that. "Ah, well, slowpoke, we'll ease up then shall we? I think we're just coming into a town called Trenton, so keep your eyes wide open" He said, nuzzling the little girls head as she caught up with him. They'd slowed now and Saul looked at the buildings around him. Most were in a state of disrepair, although nothing that would mean there was no hope for any of the building. It seemed Trenton and New Glasgow and wherever else they'd settled had been hit by the snow storm too, but it didnt seem as bad as the rest of the lands that had been affected. Saul was curious, dipping in and out of a few buildings to see what they were. From his limited knowledge, he guessed that most of them were business related- there weren't a whole lot of residential buildings around here. "See anything yet sweety?" He asked, wondering what his ward's look on the town of Trenton was. - Wretch D'Angelo - 07-07-2011 [html]

She wasnt quite ready to be out talking to others yet, he could tell she was still quite and reserved around those that may end up living with them- Nayru, Melee and Range especially. But she would get there, he knew she would. He laughed softly as wide green eyes looked at all the buildings around them. It was going to be hard to find one suitable for all of them. Wretch voiced his opinions and Saul nodded softly. "Yep, all of us. Siku, you and I, Gideon, Melee and Range... maybe even Nayru." He offered, although he wasnt sure about Nayru at the moment. As a leader he respected and liked her. But as a friend and a potential breaker of his brothers heart, he wasnt so sure at the moment. He intended to speak to her in the next couple of days, although he didnt mention any of this to Wretch. She probably would have understood, but he didnt want to voice his opinion at the moment. As he nudged her she giggled and Saul felt his heart lift. Though not technically his daughter, she was so like a daughter to him in so many ways. She spoke again and Saul gave a soft nod. "Lead the way, little one. We'll go wherever you want." He said with a soft chuckle of his own. He ambled behind his half-daughter, critical green eyes still noticing the slight limp to her walk, the hesitancy to put all her weight down on it. Despite being fully healed, there was still muscle mass to build up, to train once more. And her bones needed to get stronger again. Still, she was doing well as it was and he let himself get distracted by the sounds of her voice coming towards him. She exclaimed about it being like a forest in the city and Saul smiled. "An urban jungle" He offered to his half-daughter before she bounded off. Her insistence that it would be here they lived made Saul take a good look around. It was a nice neighborhood, a little higher class. But as with everything in these times, most of the building were in a state of needing some serious repair works. Still, he nodded towards Wretch. "I like it around here... lets go and have a look at some houses eh?" He said, titling his head to allow her to lead the way. - Wretch D'Angelo - 07-07-2011 [html]

Green eyes took stock of the damage. Once you got over the initial shock of the roof having caved in, it was relatively simple. The weight of the snow on the roof had caused it to cave in on itself and there was a good sized whole in the side of the building. Once the clutter was cleared away, it would perhaps leave a whole in the roof of about five metres by six or seven. The outside beam of the support had rotted and would need to be replaced, as would the joists at the corners of the beams. But other than that, it looked relatively easy to fix. He would need some help though, to clear away all the debris and dirt first would be a job that he could use some help on. The little girl who was fast growing into a young woman stayed at the door at his request. He glanced back as she spoke, voicing her thoughts in a way she had never really done in Dahlia. She was changing since they'd arrived only a handful of hours ago. He was glad she was becoming more talkative, even if it was just to him. .freebjuly02 b {font-weight:bold; color:#c39b6a; letter-spacing:1px; text-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em #; } .freebjuly02 p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 15px; margin:0px;} .freebjuly02 {margin:0 auto; width:462px; background-color:#cdbfb2; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/ ... bjuly2.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #796857; padding: 150px 0px 7px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#796857; letter-spacing:.6px; word-spacing:.9x; line-height:13px; text-align:justify;} </style> 000+ [/html] |
