- Saul Stormbringer - 12-03-2010 [html] Deep breaths had long since become ragged and pained in his throat. Lightly muscled body was pushed harder than it had ever been pushed before, the muscles raw and thurmming with the stress the youth was putting them under. Paw pads were still uninjured but the young male could feel a small split in his right front paw threatening to break open and bleed upon the snowy ground. Tears streaked from his eyes down his tawny face and a grimace pulled at his lips, turning his usually happy smile into a horrible frown. His tail was tucked firmly against his belly whilst his ears lay flat against his head. He wasnt being chased, but the tawny male ran as though his whole life depended on it. So he was running and running, crying his eyes out. They were threatening to become hysterical and the only thing keeping him from breaking down was the rhythmatic thump of his own paws on the snow that seemed to have at least a small calming effect on him. A small part of his brain told him he was being stupid. He wasn't even crying about anything in particular and his flight from Dahlia this morning had been totally unprovoked. Most of his packmates knew that he was a happy creature, if not a little reserved at times. But this panic attack that had sent the male running from his home was completely out of character for him. In all truths he had no idea why he was so upset and panicky, but this mornings run had sent him into a panic attack. He had been running near the beach and had seen a rabbit inpaled on a stick. It was still moving and it had struggled when it had seen him. All of a sudden he had felt an itching sensation all over his body and he couldnt breath. He had run, trying to work it out of his system. When a lap of Dahlia hadnt done the trick, the male had decided to venture further afield and had run south, out of Dahlia. He was racing away from something, but he couldnt have told you what. He missed his brothers, who were in Dahlia but never seemed to be around, despite the fact that they lived under the same roof. He missed his aunt, who had turned totally aloof and distant the past few months. Oddly, he missed his mother, whom he had never really known but missed with all his heart. Surprisingly, he missed his father, who had never really been there for him but was a figure none the less. He desperately wanted Shiloh back in his life, even though he knew that once he found her she would walk all over him and wipe her paws on his coat to keep her clean. But that was how it was supposed to be, that was how his world worked. And none of it seemed to be working right now. Perhaps that was why he was running. A stone made him stop- he almost crashed into the ground, to be more precise. Pain shot up his leg, firey and hot. The slit in his paw that had been okay and unbroken up until now had been wrenched apart by the small pebble and now he was bleeding. Looking around, Saul found his nose detecting a strong pack border. He sat down, resting his injured paw lightly on the ground to keep his weight from it. With each pump of his heart, a small amount of blood oozed out and it wasnt long before a small puddle of blood surronded that paw. He had learnt to heal minor injuries in his time as a loner, but his panicked state couldnt quite deal with this at the moment. With tears streaking down his face and a pressure on his chest that he didnt understand, Saul sent forth a shaky howl to get some assistance from someone who might take pitty on a lonely teenager. word count;; 670 "speech" - Addison - 12-08-2010 [html]
- Saul Stormbringer - 12-08-2010 [html] Pain had begun to numb the bottom of his right paw, the pad throbbing mercilessly as blood began to congeal around the open wound. Logic told him that he should shift, but he appeared to be too wound up to calm down and concentrate on these matters. He didnt even understand what he was doing here, didnt know where the journey had gone. One minute he had been gazing into the glassy eyes of an impaled rabbit and then next he was almost to another packs borders, right paw cut and bleeding and too worked up to do anything about it. He had really worked himself up into a state and he didnt know where home was, where he was, if this land was friendly or hostile. Green eyes closed slowly, fluttering shut just as a voice entered his ears. Eyes snapped open with a slight shock runnig through the males body. Coming through the fog, Saul saw a wolf in optime form. He could just about see reddish curl pinned behind her head and, unbidden his mind produced an image of those curls set free. Embarrassed, he shook the image away and concentrated on the words she had said. She didnt come any closer than she already had made it. She seemed wary and Saul wondered if this was in fact an enemy pack. However, she didnt look like she was going to hurt him any more than he already was. Holding up his injured paw, Saul gave a soft whine before speaking. "I-i didnt know what else to do miss... I smelt that I was near another's borders and when I slashed open my paw I didnt know what else to do but call for help... Thank you for coming" He rushed over the first sentences, but his last words were warm and genuine. He was no where near the usual happy Saul self, but he was beginning to calm down. With his paw still suspended in the air he tried to calm himself further, tried to concentrate into shifting. It wasnt working and he remained small and injured on the ground, his lupus form the only one accessible to him at the moment. Green eyes spyed duel coloured orbs from the female who seemed to wary of him- blue and gold that complimented her tawny coat. She looked a lot like he did but with apparently less white to her fur. Dipping his head down in respect for her borders, Saul gave her his name in the hope that it would make her a little less wary of him. "My name is Saul Stormbringer... I come from Dahlia de Mai." word count;; 443 "speech" - Addison - 12-09-2010 [html]
- Saul Stormbringer - 12-10-2010 [html] Green eyes watched as some sort of internal battle took place in the female in front of him. He wasnt sure what had made her so wary of stranger, wary of Dahlians in his eyes. He had always thought they were okay with their southern neighbors but her wariness made him second guess his assumptions. He had heard of their wars with Inferni, but he didnt exactly know the ins and outs of who had supported whom in those battles. Perhaps Phoenix Valley had not sided with Dahlia. But that didnt matter to him now as she was speaking and she seemed to be yielding to him. He wouldnt be here if he didnt need her help- if he could only calm down and shift so he could heal himself this would be much easier to deal with. But he couldnt and she was the only other person around that might be able to help him. She allowed him to come with him and for that he was grateful. "Thank you..." He breathed, getting to his feet and holding his right paw high so he wouldnt be tempted to step on it. He hopped over to the young female and smiled softly up at her. She seemed nice enough even if her manner was brusque and blunt. She asked him if he could walk on it and he shook his head softly whilst still holding his paw up. It had stopped bleeding too badly and only a few drops settled where he had stopped to wait for her to lead the way. But they were off again and she was speaking. She seemed a chatty one, which usually would have appealed to Saul's better nature. But right now he wasnt feeling so chatty and although it wasnt annoying that she was he didnt feel quite right about letting her do all the talking. So when she offered her name he smile up at her. "Its nice to meet you Addison." He murmered softly, not thinking what to say in return to her comment on her father being alpha of this pack. So he walked alongside her instead, hopping and limping. He didnt know how long they'd been walking when she spoke again, asking him what he was doing out here anyway. He didnt know what he was doing here. He'd had a freak out at the beach and ended up running away- which usually helped clear his mind. But it hadnt and he'd kept on running to see if it would help. And when it hadnt he didnt know what to do and by that time he had been all the way out here and his paw was hurting. It had taken the small pebble just moments to lodge itself in his paw and split it. That was what he was doing out here. "Well uhmm... I was at home, at the beach. And I saw a rabbit impaled on a spike. And I freaked out about it and ran... it usually helps to clear my mind. But by the time I got out here it still wasnt clear and then i split my paw... So really, I dont know what Im doing out here." It was the most he'd spoken for far and he sounded very quite and nervous as he said it. That wasnt very characteristic for him but he didnt care right now. His paw was hurting and she was going to help him, right? word count;; 578 "speech" - Addison - 12-10-2010 [html]
- Saul Stormbringer - 12-12-2010 [html] Normally a smile would have tugged his lips at all times, but the tugging pain in his paw and the lingering adrenaline from his flight out of Dahlia was something that, combined, made a deadly mix that was not altogether compatable with his system. In fact, it made the young male feel really rather sick. The timber wolf in front of him began to speak again and although a smile would usually have been upon his lips he could only look up at her and twitch his lips. Of course he would have done the same in her situation. He gave a nod in her drection, feeling down and upset. He still hadnt figured out what was wrong with him. "Of course I would do the same." She seemed to ponder over something for a moment before she voiced these opinions. It had been playing on Saul's mind, he had spent most of his flight over here trying to figure out firstly what had freaked him out so much and secondly who had done that to a rabbit. Maybe it had been an accident, or maybe someone was trying to warn them, or threaten them. Saul had never heard of Haku Soul, but he knew Soul was Conor's last name. He wondered what relation they were to each other. What she said about that being something Haku would do piqued Saul's interest. Was he really that strange? "I'm afraid I dont know who Haku Soul is... But my leader Conor has the same last name. Conor Soul..." He mused, his voice rather quiet and reserved. There was a lot going on in his head and he couldnt make sense of any of it. They had arrived at the barn and Saul waited outside. He couild hear her rustling about inside and he wondered what she was doing. As she exited however Saul could see the bandages in her hands and he was thankful that she had these things on hand. He was instructed that her cabin was this way and Saul followed the timber wolf with his paw still tucked up into his body. She pushed the door open and Saul could not help the smile that smothered over his lips. The cabin was chaotic, but in a certain lived in manner. Blankets and pillows littered to sofa's, often spilling over onto the floor. There were toys on the floor and Saul allowed his tail to wag softly at the though of Range and Melee, back at his home. He watched as she revived the fire, appreciative of the warmth that had begun to radiate out into the room. It was just moments before Addison demanded his paw. Sitting down, Saul carefully placed his red-stained paw in her hand, preparing himself for the pain of having the dried blood washed away. word count;; 411 "speech" - Addison - 12-30-2010 [html]
- Saul Stormbringer - 01-03-2011 [html] The stinging of his paw was getting better, despite the split it had sustained. He had never really had a proper injury before, not anything that had actually made him bleed. His mind threw him and image of his little brother bleeding from where their grandmother had bitten him. Gideon had bled before, really badly. Saul on the other had never really had anything that had hurt. He had collapsed of exhaustion and hunger on Dahlia's borders where Bris had found him, but that wasn't injured. He smiled softly as she wrapped his paw in a bandage. It felt soft against his fur and as Addison released his paw he gave a soft sigh of relief. "Thank you Addison." Came his subdued voice and he closed his eyes once. Her voice made him pay attention however and he gave her a confused little look. She had asked him whether she could come to Dahlia. Anyone who had bandaged up a stranger with no question of who he really was, was certainly welcome on his borders. And she seemed to know Conor's family. Though Saul had never heard of Haku, he shared Conor's last name and therefore he was family to the cinnamon and gold male. He allowed his tail to flip back and forward as green eyes caught mismatched ones from the older female. "You are more than welcome in Dahlia" He murmered with a gentle smile. He wasn't feeling the best and this was most certainly out of character for the young Stormbringer male. He couldn't even explain why he was feeling the way he did. So instead he let it wash over him, allowed his ears to droop down. Saul heard her voice once more and he gave the softest of chuckles. "I'm sure you'll find him somewhere. But if you can't I'd be more than happy to show you around." He said, hoping that next time he saw her he would be in a better mood. However she had calmed him down and he felt ready to go home now. Green eyes glanced up at the timber female and hoped that she would take him to the borders- he had no idea where he was right now. word count;; 370 "speech" - Addison - 01-03-2011 [html]
