Kiara Amarok

WC:583+ / OOC goes here.


It was early in the day, the snow was frozen on the ground and the skies were clear and bright. Occasionally clouds drifted over the pack lands as they threw shadows on the white touched mountains. Silently Kiara walked through the forest, her white coat glittering with the snow as she easily moved through the lands. The arctic wolf loved snow, almost as much as she loved running through the mountains. Yet, for some reason, neither things could cheer her up. The unusually chipper she-wolf was feeling both low in spirits and, surprisingly, low in energy. Why, Kiara couldn't say, yet she was. Her breath formed white puffs in the air as the snow wolf neared the Broken Arrow Ranch. As Kiara approached the lip of the valley, she stared down at the ranch, its barn and pastures formed a break in the forest and grasslands.


As the arctic wolf started down into the valley she thought about herself. That day, Kiara had hunted a succulent rabbit, only to regurgitate it after an only an hour. The sight really shocked the young wolf. Sick was a deadly state to be in for a non-infected wolf like herself, making the lack of energy and her incident with the rabbit meat actually fairly scary. The only thing preventing her from freaking out completely was the fact that she was in a luperci pack. The shifters had an interesting outlook on illness and treated it as if it was really no big deal, which did make Kiara feel better. She knew if she had real problems then the pack could help her, but she was still worried.


It wasn't long before Kiara had reached the ranch. Grazing in one of the pastures were two large four legged animals. The largest one had a formidable set of horns on top of his brown head. The other was a spotted, black and white female with a less frightening pair of horns. Her interest peaked, Kiara strode casually up to the fence separating her and the strange animals. She inquisitively tested the air, wondering if they were some type of horse or something new. Kiara shook her head, boy did they smell, they weren't horses that was certain. The alabaster wolf ducked down and slipped under the lowest bar for the wooden fence. Immediately the large male took notice of her and turned. His head ducked down as he shouted at the she wolf and he charged after her. Kiara barked in her wolfish way and dodged out of the way.


Now she was having fun. Kiara's tail wagged in the air as she bent down in a playful crouch. Her lips pulled back to show a formidable growl. The arctic wolf was not perturbed as the male bent his head and charged again. She dodged out of the way and playfully nipped at his heels. For her, it was like dealing with a bull bison, and they did kind of look like buffalo. The male turned again, his head swung back and forth as he kicked at the snow a little. The bison looking animal brayed a little but didn't charge again. Instead, he walked forward a little and with each step his head moved back and forth as if he was trying to fend Kiara off. Kiara just stood and eyed the animal as she carefully watched its movement, her eyes bright with excitement. Off in the distance, the other animals were all staring at the show.

I'm really sorry about the wait dear, I'm not usually this bad! Are we alright to backdate this to the 3rd?


The young male had returned from the winter festival in high spirits and it had remained with him as he'd spoken with Saluce yesterday. His adoptive father was about to get married and Saul had given him a wedding present that perhaps wasn't the usefullest of presents, but it certainly was pretty. Saul knew that Saluce wanted him to be the one to marry them, but as with Nayru and Gideon's wedding, the male was hit with bouts of nervousness every now and then, unsure of whether he was able to do it again. Nayru and Gideon had fallen apart and Saul had no desire for this to happen to Saluce and X'yrin. They were good together and he wouldn't be able to cope if they broke up not long after their wedding. Still, the festivities was an excuse to get together and Saul knew that it would be a good party and it would bring Ichika closer together. They'd had a few new members recently and Saul didn't know if he'd met all of them yet.


It bought him to another topic that had been weighing in the back of his mind- Temeraire's official introduction into the pack. Saul intended to have a party when his son turned two months old, to announce his presence and to celebrate a new life into the pack. He had no desire to muddy Teme's party with Saluce and X'yrin's wedding and it had been an issue that had troubled in his mind. He could see that his son was beginning to get impatient in the den with Nayru, but there wasn't much Saul could do about that. He was still a few weeks too young to be exploring anything and Saul had to admit to himself that he wasn't entirely happy about letting his son go out into the world. He'd heard of so many mishaps going on that it scared him to no end, but it was just another thing that a parent had to allow their child to do.



Saul had decided that today he would spend some time with Maia and Gypsy, making sure they were both okay. The mares were both pregnant and due relatively around the same time and while neither of them were showing yet, Saul knew that they felt a little neglected. He'd taken Hermes with him when he'd left a few months ago and left the rest behind and Saul knew that the mares resented him for it. On his two legged form, Saul crested the hill and saw the ranch stretched out beneath him. Green eyes were caught by movement to his left and he looked over to see the bull chasing a white wolf around the paddock. His immediate reaction was a laugh of disbelief before he moved down, descending the slope at a quick pace.


It took him only a few minutes to get to the side of the paddock that she was in, another chuckle escaping him. "He's going to hate you from now on..." Saul intoned, his nose scrunching up in a smile as he shifted down into his lupus form to accommodate the form that the female was in. He was not yet aware that she was a non-Luperci, but either way it didn't matter. With a practised motion, the young timber male ducked between the planks of wood.

Kiara Amarok

WC:412+ / Okay, Dated the 3rd. BTW I LOVE the Temeraire series.


It was a game, to her at least. Kiara's tail wagged as stared down the larger animal. Her every muscle was coiled and prepared to react to whatever the strange bison was going to do. However, stupidly it was Kiara who was the first to move. A strange voice called out to her and her head shot up and turned. Standing just on the other side of the fence was a luperci male who was shifting. A second later the four legged form of the grey luperci stood and he ducked between the planks of wood. He was about the same age as Kiara, although his grey and cream body was much larger than hers. She eyed the male with interest for a moment until yet another sound drew her attention away.


Kiara hadn't been looking at the new male for more than a few seconds, yet it was enough. The bull had decided to take that moment to start his charge and this time Kiara did not have as much time to react. So, she did the only thing she could, she turned and ran. Luckily for her, the young she-wolf was close to the fence and managed to easily slip under the wooden bars before the bull reached her. Kiara turned around, her tail high and wagging with delight. Her turn now. With a ferocious growl and one of her wolfish barks she too charged the bull. The snow wolf leapt between two of the bars and the attack was sudden enough that the animal balked. As the bull turned to run, Kiara gently nipped at his heals to prove her point. The bull tried in vein to kick her away as she chased him halfway across the pasture.


It wasn't long before she grew tired and gave up on the chase, much to the bull's relief. Kiara had made her point and this time the bull stayed away. After all, large four-legged animals were her specialty. With great pride in her stride, the snow wolf trotted over to her strange pack mate. She sat down in front of him and panted for a bit as her tongue rolled out of her mouth. "He can hate me all he wants, I'm still going to beat him. So...ah...what is he?" Kiara cocked her head to the side as she asked. Her sapphire eyes beaming and a smile spread across her face. "Oh, right. Almost forgot. I'm Kiara, nice to meet you!"
