Zalen Damaichu



Word Count → 364 :: Hello you lovely peoples, Zalen and Titania are passing by to meet the leadership on their way to the ND territory. Let Titania reply first then others. PP of Titania. Noah can come in this thread too.


Zalen felt strong, confident and was filled with excitement as he and Titania made their way towards Ichika no Ho-En territory. The rest of their new pack mates should already be on the way to the New Dawn lands and it was time for the alpha and his mate to meet their soon to be neighbors. Zalen had learned a little more about the peace loving Ichikans since he had last passed their borders, and was unafraid. He knew they would have no quarrel, though he wondered how the leaders would react to a new pack so close to their own. He would have to make sure and assure them that the wolves of New Dawn would keep to themselves and that no attempt on usurping Ichika land would occur.

Before long the black and white wolf neared the borders; Ichika no Ho-En was a beautiful place, much like New Dawn which was most likely due to their proximity. The winter cold still held the land tightly in its grasp, but today the sun was out, brightly illuminating the frost covered ground making everything sparkle like diamonds. Zalen slowed, gazing over at his Titania lovingly. He couldn’t have believed that he would fall for her even more in the time after he had claimed her, but it had been so. He nudged her with his large ebon frame affectionately and then lifted his head and let forth a regal and strong call meant specifically for the leader of Ichika. Titania also joined in the song, and together their tenor and alto voices carried over the winds in a beautiful harmony.

After their voices faded Zalen turned to Titania, "Hopefully this goes well, it would be good to have an ally with a larger pack." He wished this didn't have to be so, but it must be. His fledgling pack needed protection of some kinda, especially while they were so small; Salsola or Inferni once they caught wind could easily come and snuff them out. Zalen worried for the safety of his pack, of his friends and of his mate, they would have to gain more members quickly if they were to stand a chance.

OOC Excited Titania is excited!

The silver and snowy girl trotted proudly beside the dark shadow that was her mate. This was their first official bit of pack business that involved “foreign affairs,” and she hoped that they would make a good impression on the Ichikans. She knew little of the pack they were to meet save for the fact that they were rumored to be a peaceful people. She trusted the rumor since she had never learned of anything to discount it while she was living in Cercatori d’Arte. She hadn’t kept up much on the dealings of outside packs, but had an idea of the general culture of each. Now she wished she had been more worldly.

They approached the borders of Ichika together, but this wasn’t the first time. The pair had been there before when they had been marking their territory and wandered out of the area they had wished to claim. It wasn’t the right time to meet the Ickikans then, since they knew little of the pack, but now was.

The young wolfess bumped against Zalen’s side as they stood at the borders, eyes drinking in the expanse of beauteous, snowy land before them. Though being at another pack’s borders should be a high anxiety moment Titania wasn’t afraid. When her mate raised his snout into the air to sing his wolfsong she joined in, her tone complimenting his perfectly. As the last notes reverberated through Ichika she righted herself and stood in wait, proudly at her mate’s side.

Who would come? What would they be like? This could be a prosperous day for the fate of New Dawn, and she looked forward to it. Her paws shuffled and her tail twitched sporadically, unable to fully contain the imminent wag that so dearly wanted to take over in her excitement.

The star told him of a visitor at the border, told of a couple male female lovers, at the borders. The shimmering balls of light told the male that it nothing to fear, but something that he should be there for. The silver Sawtooth male slipped off the roof of his house as he free feel the few feet to where the ground. With a thud the male pushed up to his full height, of over six feet. The Sawtooth stargazer moved to where the stars had shined the brightest from, he knew under them stars he would find the two lovers.

The male passed though the pack lands with as much speed as he could upon his two feet, missing a part of his hand made being a lupus very hard for fast travels. The male tried to not allow him to be held back by his disability any more then what he had to be.

The male could feel the howl from the male as it came though the lands like a raging river, and his voice rumbled under his feet like thunder hitting the pack lands. Noah’s ear lifted to the sound of where the voice was coming from, it was a call for the leaders, however Noah wanted to make sure someone else was there in case it was a peace keeping mission.

Seeing the two lover birds the silver male dipped his maw to the two, with a small smile creeping upon his face. ”May I help?” Nice and small sentence that was to the point, there was no risk of a stutter there.

The Sawtooth male wasn’t going to run the two lover birds off, but there was a reason that both of them where here together, acting as one powerful force. He shifted his ear as he looked upon the two, a black male like what his father was, and the white, gray and red female.

347. Sorry for the wait guys!

Nayru sat by the shore, ruby eyes wide as she watched the waves lapped at the sands. Although winter had settled its self nicely the woman was not cold as she sat cross legged on the beach. The tiny female was round and fat with children; Nayru knew that the pups would come any day now and that it was perhaps unwise to travel so far from X'ryin and Saluce's den but daily she grew restless. The lady who once had been among the swiftest of the pack moved with slow steps, but these steps were able to carry her great distances and so she was on the west end of the territory rather than the east when the call woke her from her trance.

The song that summoned her was composed of two voices, both unfamiliar but both asking for her. Nayru tilted her head to the sound, and then slowly she rose. Razekiel could, and perhaps would, answer the call but Nayru was close enough now that she wouldn't have thought of ignoring it. If someone, anyone, summoned her, she went. Her life was meant to serve Ichika, and even so round with pups she could not ignore her duties. Unhurried she made her way up the beach, into the more mountainous range of the land and towards the makers of the call. It took some time before she reached them, and so she was unsurprised that another had gotten there first.

On two short legs the piebald lady stood before the assembled three, and slowly a warm smile spread on thin, ebony lips. Clasping her hands together she bowed as low as her belly would allow her, her soft voice raising just enough so that the strangers could hear her. Namaste. The Jiryu turned to the familiar face and bowed her head at the Gen'un, glad to have Noah between her and the pair of strangers. Looking back to the nameless man and woman she smiled once more, her words little more than a whisper. Greetings friends. I'm Nayru. You called for a Ryu?

Zalen Damaichu



Word Count → 379 :: OOC.


It was not long before a Luperci male arrived, trotted towards them on two legs. Zalen immediately noticed his major flaws; a missing arm and a blind eye. Interesting, this must not be the leader of the pack, Zalen could tell by the way he held himself, but the male greeted them kindly and Zalen nodded back gently. The male asked what he could do for them and Zalen stepped forward, My mate and I have come here to speak to the leadership of Ichika no Ho-en. He did not go further than this, for he would rather tell all the details to the leaders themselves rather than a subordinate member. He did however give the male a gentle smile, one that was somewhat apologetic for him not expounding more on the reason why he and Titania had so suddenly appeared.

Luckily though, it was not long before the arrival of what was a leader, Zalen could immediately tell from the grace in which the monochromatic woman carried herself, even while fully pregnant. Zalen’s tail began to wag furiously, for a pregnant female was a glorious thing to behold, and the promise of future pups was always something to celebrate, even if she was not a member of his own pack. After she greeted her comrade with an elegant bow, she turned to him and Titania and greeted them. Zalen lowered his head to respectfully, Greetings, I am Zalen Damaichu and this is my mate Titania Moonsong. We have come under a banner of peace to Ichika no Ho-en to seek favor with its leadership. This was when he raised his head again, crisp green eyes meeting the exotic ruby orbs of the Ryu, We have settled a territory to your North, it is the pack New Dawn, and wish to build a relationship of trust and friendship with our new neighbor.

He then glanced over to Titania, to see what she had to say, before looking back at the two gathered Ichika members. They were not what he had expected, but he hadn’t really suspected anything. A male wolf who had been forever marred by what life had given him and a ebony and ivory wolfess with child as a leader. Zalen felt confident with in this meeting.
