[/html] - Sage River Lykoi - 12-18-2010 [html] WC: 384 Despite the frigid temperature at this hour, Sage had risen early. Not wanting to disturb her sleeping sibling, China, she'd crept away in silence. Sage had wrapped herself in a rabbit-fur blanket of her own making, and was making a wide perimeter around their campsite, digging small holes in the frozen and planting a few seeds in each, and continuing on. The girl hummed to herself as she went, small clouds of mist flowing out of her nostrils at a steady interval. Not unintelligent, she knew that most of the seeds would not sprout yet, but she hoped that come spring they would welcome the sun and rain and come to join their redwood brothers. The sandy Lykoi girl stood now from the squatting position which had begun to annoy her back. She stretched a bit, and turned to head back to her sister. As she walked the path back instinctively, her gaze wandered to the right. A tree stood, presenting to her a noisy little woodpecker, straight in the center of its trunk. She smiled, intrigued, and walked closer, taking out her sketchbook. As quickly as she could, the girl made a sketch of the bird, catching the details of its head just before it took off. Thank you, little bird! She thought, having missed the chance to thank him in his tongue. As soon as she'd put away her drawings, she head the familiar voice of China in the near distance. "Sage? Where are you, honey?" China called out, her voice beautiful on the light breeze. "I'm right here!" Sage replied in an equally harmonic tone. She started into a happy skip back to their camp, and it was only a few steps before her sister was in sight. She raised a hand in mild greeting to her sister, approaching her with a swift grace. The girl pulled China into close a hug and threw the blanket around both of them. "Lovely morning; the weather seems to be testing us today!" And we shall pass will full marks! "I hope I didn't cause you to worry." she said, a hint of concern in her eyes.

[/html] - Sage River Lykoi - 12-30-2010 [html] Sorry I'm sloowww! <3 :C WC: 319 China's body was warm and comfortable; a welcome feeling against the frigid air. Sage leaned against her sister lovingly as China placed an arm around her waist. The Lykoi girl was glad to have family in this strange place. Though she was enjoying it's comforts, it was still new and mostly unknown. It was wonder and intrigue for new places and sights that kept her spirits aloft as she explored the area with her sister, who she cherished so dearly. "That it is! Earthmother has made the change quicker this year," China commented. Sage nodded a response, but said nothing more. It was true, the Earth had changed sooner. The sandy girl furrowed her brow briefly, questioning the seasons' timing in her mind. Nevertheless, they would be prepared for the winter soon. Together, she and China would prepare a beautiful, cozy and safe home. It might be challenging, but life wouldn't be worthwhile without the Earth Mother's obstacles! "Oh no, sweetie, of course not. We're safe here, I just know it," came China's response to Sage's expression of worry. "I know we are...If Daddy's here, we must be!" she added in her soft, dreamy voice with another warm smile. "Did you sleep well, sister?" The young Lykoi girl missed other family; she longed to see Daddy, but where was he? She sighed and glanced around briefly, as if wondering whether he might show up here, now. "You've been out planting again this morning, have you?" China asked, approval in her tone. "Why yes, I have! I hope in spring we'll see lots of wonderful new growth!" she said excitedly, grinning as she spoke. Sage motioned with a blanketed arm around the landscape, indicating where she'd tossed her seeds. The sand-colored girl was grateful that her sister shared her appreciation and desire for nature and its products. .sage-dove .ooc {font-style:italic; } .sage-dove p {padding:0px 20px 5px 20px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .sage-dove b {color:#744c54; letter-spacing:-.2px;} .sage-dove {background-color:#e8e8e2; background-image:url(http://anna.sleepyglow.net/images/gifts ... etable.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; padding:235px 0px 10px 0px; border:1px solid #ffffff; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#4c4a4f; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:480px; text-align:justify; border-radius:5px; -moz-border-radius:5px; -webkit-border-radius:5px; } .sage-dove-border {width:482px; border:1px solid #000000; margin:0 auto; border-radius:5px; -moz-border-radius:5px; -webkit-border-radius:5x; box-shadow:3px 3px 4px #2A2A2A; -moz-box-shadow:3px 3px 4px #2A2A2A; -webkit-box-shadow:3px 3px 4px #2A2A2A;} </style>[/html] - China Rose Lykoi - 01-14-2011 [html] alalala, mel, you can join in whenever - bobbi, feel free to keep posting until she does Sage's reply to her comment on their safety made China feel all jittery again. She wasn't entirely sure why - She craved seeing their father just as much as her sister did. It was, after all, the reason they had traveled to this place; That, and because China wanted to show the tawny girl the home of their extended family. She had been here once before, but those had been dangerous times, far too dangerous for the likes of her naive, pure-hearted sister. China herself had been unable to withstand the strain that the war had placed upon her! Why, it had been like the earthmother had deserted this place! But now, both sisters were back, and with every handful of seeds that Sage planted, they were helping the earthmother to reclaim the land, and the peace.

Truth be told, he was not a wolf except in build, but to prowling eyes who did not know the difference it would be hard to spot. Gabriel was as large as a wolf and had wolf-like markings, and he walked like a wolf. Oddly enough though, he did not consider himself such. While the wolf was a large part of who he was, it was only blood and nothing more. Yet the wolf was instinct and blood that had made him capable of fighting and surviving against them, and of holding together a clan of coyotes that would otherwise likely have no reason to live together. His wolfish traditions had forced him to keep a chain of command and a rule of dominance viable. Warrior-king as he was, Gabriel knew that Inferni’s survival lay with the wolf as much as it did with his coyote fighting techniques. Today was not a day for war, though, nor a day for much else. He patrolled constantly, occasionally running into strangers, but more often than not finding nothing. Nothing was always better than another dead body, but thankfully they had been without those for some time. Peace, when it came to Inferni, was welcomed. At least for a time, that was. Gabriel tired of the repetition and the endless boredom, but he would not argue against seeing his family safe. Since Itachi’s stunt with Kaena, he had become wary of the possibility of another Haku—he did not wish to think of it as such, but he saw the same darkness in his grand-nephew as he had seen in that beast. Hopefully, though, Itachi would learn as Haku had not that Inferni and Gabriel would crush those who opposed them. It was not his desire to kill more of his family. The cold did not bother him, thanks once again to his wolfish pelt. Thickly furred he was only bothered by the bare patches of skin, but movement limited this to an occasional annoyance. It was the wind that bothered these the most. Snorting bullishly, the Aquila shook his neck and paused to mark a tree. As he finished, the sound of voices floated to him over the wind. While they certainly did not carry the tone of intruders, he was curious as to who would be so far north in the territory. Most of the clan stuck towards the center or south-east of the Waste, finding the open area or Mansion more inviting than the dark forest that Gabriel loved so much. He approached easily, making little effort to move silently, following the well-worn tracks that made for easy travel in a place that would otherwise be difficult to navigate. Gabriel did not stand out against the mottled forest, thanks to his sable pelt, but he did not try and hide—it was not his goal to sneak up or startle what he was now certain were clan members. Noisy ones at that. .gabe-fireiron .ooc {font-style:italic; } .gabe-fireiron p {padding:0px 20px 5px 20px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .gabe-fireiron b {color:#9b590d; letter-spacing:-.2px;} .gabe-fireiron {background-color:#FFFFFF; background-image:url(http://bloodandfire.sleepyglow.net/publ ... ndiron.jpg); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; padding:160px 0px 10px 0px; border:1px solid #000000; font-family: tahoma, serif; font-size:11px; color:#000000; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:400px; text-align:justify; } .gabe-fireiron .separator{width:300px; border-bottom:1px dotted #000000; margin:0 auto 5px auto;} </style> - Sage River Lykoi - 01-22-2011 [html] SSWM: 686 "Yes, honey, I did," said China gently, "But I think we will have to find a place of our own soon, Sage. Earthmother wont hold back the snow just for the likes of us!" Amidst her excited morning energy, Sage had mostly forgotten that the pair didn't really have a specific place to stay, yet. They were technically homeless, according to some; but wasn't home wherever the heart was? So in that sense, it didn't matter that they had no long-term place to rest their young but weary muscles. China seemed a bit concerned about being so vulnerable here, though, which was certainly understandable, and as she mentioned it, Sage gave an encouraged nod of agreement. "Alright, then, where shall we go?" she asked dreamily, nuzzling her face into China's neck momentarily, warming her cold nose on her silvery sister's warm skin and fur. She broke away and pulled back from her sister, entwining her fingers with China's as she said: "D'Neville Mansion looks nice; I know a lot of our family lives in there." Her eyes wandered around the landscape as she tried to recall other places that might be suitable for their living. "Or, we could find a nice cave, maybe? Wherever you like, China, I'll go." she finished with a smile; after all, it was her sister that was more inclined to find a home. Sage would certainly have a good time decorating it later, though. "Come, let's gather our things - It's looking to be a beautiful day. Have you got your drawing stuff?" The sandy Lykoi girl nodded released her sisters warm hands, taking the blanket off of herself now and placing it around her sister with a smile. Then, she turned, drifting gently back to their camp, yellow eyes wandering around where they had slept, making sure nothing was left behind.. Really, she didn't have much yet. Nearly everything she owned was in her bag, save a few clothing items which could easily be carried. The girl noticed a pencil on the ground and grabbed it up, not wanting to leave any unnecessary litter; even if it was made from the Earth itself. "I've got that pencil, so..." she said quietly to herself, double-checking the spot before she spoke a confirmation to her sister. "Yes, China, we've got it all, it seems!" she called back, her voice as soft as always. Sage turned and walked towards her sister again, but this time, something else caught her attention. There was something moving between the trees. Catching her sister's eyes, she nodded towards the shape, hoping she would notice, too. Sage's nose went to work trying to determine the scent, but it wasn't one she knew. Curiously, her brow furrowed and she approached somewhat slowly, yellow eyes still adjusting to the camouflaged figure. It was a wolf. Here?! No... Sadly she knew that that would not happen, so she looked closer, as it was much more likely that he was a hybrid of some sort. He was handsome: dark brown fur with a lighter belly, and she could barely tell, but his eyes looked to be a pretty color, almost like honey. With a broad smile she approached, noticing as she did that this man was quite scarred, and he wore a cross around his neck; a symbol she knew to be related to a human's religion. There were other things, too, but nothing she recognized. He was large in his lupus form, and Sage knew that if he'd been in Optime he would have been towering above her. The man looked powerful, but he did not attack, and therefore Sage was not afraid. She reached a small hand upwards, forming it into a gentle wave. Who was this good-looking stranger? The girl gave a smile as she stopped, standing only a few feet away from him, yellow eyes darting again over his body. "Hello there! You're very handsome; it's a shame you're all scarred up like that." she said gently, almost sadly. To Sage, scars were memories that often would be better off forgotten. "I'm Sage River Lykoi," she said, an arm extending fluidly, petite fingers reaching down towards his paw and turning her head over her shoulder to nod at her sister, "and that's my sister." .sageriv-d04 .ooc {font-style:italic; } .sageriv-d04 p {padding:2px 20px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .sageriv-d04 b {color:#463E1D; letter-spacing:-.2px; } .sageriv-d04 {background-color:#FFFFFE; background-image:url(http://sleepyglow.net/souls/gifts/2010dec/sage.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #000000; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#998D55; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:450px; text-align:justify; padding:10px 0px 200px 0px; } .sageriv-d04-border {width:454px; border:1px solid #FFFFFF; margin:0 auto;} </style>[/html] - China Rose Lykoi - 02-12-2011 [html]

To her sister's question, China made a small and thoughtful noise in the back of her throat, her blushed fingers twining with the other girl's soft tan. While Sage spoke of their options, the silvery girl thought of the home they had left behind, and wondered (with enough hope to appease her loving sister) where it might be that the pair would find the best fit.

Word Count→#000 :: Ugh this is a horrible post, I apologize.
The two girls approached him, and before they even introduce themselves he could see they were sisters. It was obvious enough despite their different colors. He saw similar bone structure, similar build, and they spoke in a similar fashion—much like someone else he knew all too well. Gabriel observed them as they spoke and smiled, offering a singular tail wag to reassure them of his presence. Lack of fear was a good sign, though, as they greeted him warmly. “Gabriel,” he replied. “Gabriel de le Poer.” They carried a lot of things with them, and though Inferni was on their pelts, it was new. Someone else must have allowed them in. He sniffed at the air, taking in what he recognized as his half-brother. Family, as he had guessed. “You’re Razekiel’s other daughters, right?” table by kiki. image credit here.

Sorry. :x “Gabriel,” he said, “Gabriel de le Poer.” Immediately an expression of recognition exploded across her face. "Oh!" Sage gasped quietly, placing her hand over her mouth and turning to China momentarily, trying not to laugh. She couldn't help it, of course, and she let out a couple of soft giggles before turning her yellow eyes back to the handsome Gabriel. "The Aquila?!" she answered excitedly, grinning widely. "My apologies! I didn't recognize you!" she said gently, leaning forward to touch his shoulder in a probably unnecessary, but reassuring gesture. "You’re Razekiel’s other daughters, right?” Gabriel said, making an assumption about her heritage. "Yep, that's right!" she chimed, her voice happy and upbeat. "Have you seen him?" she asked, her face momentarily shifting to reveal a more concerned expression. "Daddy, I mean..." The tawny Lykoi girl glanced briefly to her sister, a hopeful but worried look. Did he know where Daddy was? Could he take them to him? And what if he didn't know... what if no one knew? For now, Sage tried to put these thoughts aside and focus on the Aquila with a warm and pleasant smile. His presence was a new and exciting thing to be cherished, like all things. And weren't they all related, too, somehow? .sageriv-d04 .ooc {font-style:italic; } .sageriv-d04 p {padding:2px 20px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .sageriv-d04 b {color:#463E1D; letter-spacing:-.2px; } .sageriv-d04 {background-color:#FFFFFE; background-image:url(http://sleepyglow.net/souls/gifts/2010dec/sage.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #000000; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#998D55; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:450px; text-align:justify; padding:10px 0px 200px 0px; } .sageriv-d04-border {width:454px; border:1px solid #FFFFFF; margin:0 auto;} </style>[/html] - China Rose Lykoi - 02-27-2011 [html]

The male didn't seem particularly alarmed at the girls' approach, and China was somewhat relieved to note that he bore no ill expression in their direction, rather a gentle smile and reassuring tail-wag. Although not as absolutely trusting as her sister, the silvery girl was instantly relieved of any remnants of such a reception by this greeting. When the hybrid answered their question, however, a look of blank but pleased surprise comically flitted onto the girl's blushing features.
