- Jaden Ohanzee - 04-13-2011 [html]
[html] They will finally meet… =) WotD+1 (Praxis)Word Count - 400 The sun had set not too long ago, using the Halcyon Mountains as a final retreat point to send up flares of dusk beauty. Now, the moon ruled brightly above and let the night air play around at its own will. Jaden walked calmly along as irritation calmed most of his mind. The meeting he had held with Nadia did a fine job of souring the Optime’s mood. The annoyance of being surprised was enough to get him in a bad mood, but the fact that she had been coyote was plainly aggravating. Why does it seem that the coyotes in this area all have such big heads? The Alaskan wondered to himself. ”Someone needs to show those damn dogs who is in charge,”He growled darkly, finishing his thought out loud. But, soon enough the male began to lose his mood as he walked out of the Dampwoods and found a shoreline. Stopping on the sand, Jaden looked out on the ocean as it lapped up the beach toward him. Rocks peppered the sandy area and moonlight reflected nicely on the water. It reminded Jaden of the life he had left not so long ago. Alaska’s beaches could not be replicated to him, but anything near to it was comforting. A regular praxis he had held dear to in earlier time was to look at the sea every night. It was a way to help him contend with what he used to do. Innocent lives bare a heavy burden when taken free of good reason. Jaden didn’t morn what he was though. Nothing would change what he had done and he never expected to be completely free of guilt for it, but it was how he had been raised. It was what he understood as right. Only now would he truly scrutinize himself for enforcing Uva Atka’s blood thirsty fascist beliefs. He knew there was more to life now. Being on the other end of their attacks was almost enlightening, besides the loss of all that was dear to him. Jaden brushed some of the more uncomfortable pebbles and rocks from the sand under his paws and sat. With his legs crossed and resting his jaw on his folded paws, he let his mind dissolve in the salty water. He ignored all the little thoughts competing for his attention and let time begin to drift idly by. Jaden does. "Jaden speaks." Jaden thinks. .snowlight-ooc {font-style:italic; padding:0px; font-size:12px; text-align:right;} .snowlight b {font-weight:bold; color:#3b6262; letter-spacing:1px} .snowlight p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 15px; margin:0px;} .snowlight {margin:0 auto; background-color:#071923; background-image:url(http://i51.tinypic.com/343gkt4.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; padding: 220px 0px 10px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#617984; letter-spacing:.3px; word-spacing:.8px; line-height:12px; text-align:justify; width:400px; border:1px solid #05121c; margin:0 auto;} </style> [/html] - Clare - 04-13-2011 [html] occgoodnessss

The sound of the sea’s soft churning hid the stranger’s footsteps in the sand. Only a few moments before her purr had he actually noticed something strange, which is why he didn’t jump out of his skin. Not to say it didn’t surprise the Alaskan. The feline sound made his heart jump to high speed and his mind suddenly snap into focus, but the only evidence of his surprise was a quick swish of his tail in the sand. “First coyotes, now cats,” while he growled this darkly, his right hand slowly found his dagger and he drew the weapon slowly with a barely audible metalic sound. When no attack came after the initial purr, Jaden slowly stood and turned to the feline. Still holding his dagger in hand, he analyzed her for a second. Before now, Jaden had never been so close to a feline. His old pack used to chase the cats off their territory, but that had never been the Optime’s job. Usually a group of non-luperci wolves would band together to get rid of just one. The assassin could see now why more than one canine had been needed, even from Uva Atka, to fight off cats like her. Its body was muscular and lean with threatening claws, but it had a rather odd look in its eye: Entertainment. Jaden was glad she had not attacked, but was still a bit soured at being surprised again. “It isn’t smart to sneak up on an armed wolf, cat.” He breathed and watched her for a reply. Jaden does. "Jaden speaks." Jaden thinks. .jaden-t51 .ooc {font-style:italic; } .jaden-t51 p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .jaden-t51 b {color:#181913; letter-spacing:-.2px; } .jaden-t51 {background-color:#B3B4A8; background-image:url(http://sleepyglow.net/souls/gifts/2011feb/jaden.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #000000; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#525344; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:450px; text-align:justify; } .jaden-t51-border {width:454px; border:1px solid #FFFFFF; margin:0 auto;} .jaden-t51 .inner {margin:0px 10px 163px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://sleepyglow.net/souls/50pct_white.png); border-size:1px; border-width:1px; border-style: none dotted dotted dotted; border-color:#313229;} .jaden-t51 .wordcount {color:#181913; letter-spacing:0px; font-size:11px; font-weight:bold; margin:2px 10px; border-top:1px dotted #181913; text-align:right; padding:0px 5px; text-transform:uppercase;} </style>[/html] - Clare - 04-15-2011 [html] occgoodnessss: Same here

This being the his first meeting with one of her species on a more or less even standpoint was begging to shape his opinion of cats in a very similar direction as coyotes. But as she spoke he realized she didn't mean any harm. If she had, there would likely be claw and teeth marks in him already. So he slowly slipped his dagger back into it's sheath. “If you don't want to fight, what exactly is the reason for you sneaking up on me?” Everyone told Jaden cougars and wolves don't get along often. Why would he believe this cat held any intentions that were out of the ordinary. Her comment about letting his guard down hit dead true for the assassin. Before he came to this territory, he would have never let his guard down in an unclaimed land. Now it seemed like he was being surprised everyday by someone who luckily meant no harm. Time after time he told himself he would pay more attention. He had no home though. That must have been it. It's impossible to stay alert all the time. Without somewhere to relax he had to drop his guard every so often for the sake of his own sanity. “You are very right about that stranger,” Jaden sighed, “It seems I do it all to often now a days.” Jaden does. "Jaden speaks."

In her blood? He though and his ears flattened for a second. He wasn’t happy about being snuck up on, but didn’t push that through to her any more. Why bother whining when he should have been paying attention anyway? After she spoke, her eyes seemed to get lost on another subject for a second. The lively green almost fading as her mind wandered. Her eyes still watched him but there was a lack of attention in them that was almost difficult to notice. She shifted her body and that seemed to help her come back to they’re conversation. The comment about her parents seemed rather harsh, but Jaden distinctly remembered his own father’s harsh training methods. With cold eyes, Mathis would say, “Jaden, if I beat you this day it will be your last” and Jaden never let him win. By any means necessary he would disarm his father. The older man never scolded him for it and never got angry, just colder when he lost. Only once had he ever told Jaden he was good at something. After meeting his mate, the Alpha admitted he was proud and that Jaden’s training was complete. Nothing compared to the pride he the dark optime felt that day. So why, when he looked at it now, did it seem so depressing? “We might have had similar parents, you and I, stranger. My name is Jaden. As long as you don’t plan on trying to make me cat food, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” The wolf returned her toothy smile kindly and leaned on a tree. He might as well strike up a conversation with the feline. He had never had the chance to probe one before now anyway.“So what brings you to these parts, miss…?” Jaden does. "Jaden speaks." Jaden thinks. .jadenlight-ooc {font-style:italic; padding:0px; font-size:12px; text-align:right;} .jadenlight b {font-weight:bold; color:#7e92a3; letter-spacing:1px} .jadenlight p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 15px; margin:0px;} .jadenlight {margin:0 auto; background-color:#163b59; background-image:url(http://i53.tinypic.com/s662hc.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; padding: 200px 0px 10px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#0c2134; letter-spacing:.3px; word-spacing:.8px; line-height:12px; text-align:justify; width:400px; border:1px solid #0d1720; margin:0 auto;} </style> [/html] - Clare - 04-26-2011 [html] occgoodnessss

Jaden thought for a second. He found her aura and the way she acted sort of amusing. There was no doubt to him that if she wanted to attack him, Clare would be quite a capable enemy, but he doubted she could easily make him a meal. Her assurance that he was safe simply because she wasn’t hungry tested the other assassin’s patience a bit, but he let it go with a confidant huff and grin. He wasn’t in a mood to force his dominance and risk his life. He did wonder whether all cats were as proud. The quality was not one that would have stood unchecked if Jaden was in a foul mood. Jaden’s smile broadened when Clare referred to him as Sir. He had never been greeted in such a way. This cougar carried an entertaining conversation. “I do understand the feeling of having no set place to be, but other than that, I am oblivious to the life of a feline such as you, Clare. You are the first I have ever truly met.” He decided to let her know in hopes that it could help the conversation if he decided to ask odd questions about the way she acted. Clare’s question was a bit unanticipated. Since he had failed at killing the Alpha of Cour des Miracles, no one had asked him about his purpose for coming to the territory. Before he had tried, people questioning him usually got a defensive and elusive answer that was false and bared little information on Jaden’s literal intentions. What should he tell her? It no longer mattered if people knew what he was sent here to do because he had failed and been surprisingly spared of retaliation. Yet, why tell others he was a trained killer? Such a fact usually inspired people to avoid or mistrust the wolf. Since he had renounced that life there was no need to pretend he meant good. “I came here to meet a friend, but ended up being unable to find him,” Jaden lied the same way he had to Conor, “Now I don’t have anywhere to call home, so I am a wanderer just like you.” The sort to be in a pack? Jaden wondered about this for a moment. He had given joining a pack some thought, but which one to chose was difficult. He hadn’t met Phoenix Valley, or Crimson dreams wolves yet, and most others had at least one person or more in them who had fought with Jaden. The only hospitable one for him now was Dahlia de Mia. “I have been thinking of giving pack life a try though. Do you know a particular pack that has shown you kindness? One you wouldn’t mind being an ally to? Or are you the type to say no to an alliance with ‘dogs’?” Jaden does. "Jaden speaks." Jaden thinks. .jadenlight-ooc {font-style:italic; padding:0px; font-size:12px; text-align:right;} .jadenlight b {font-weight:bold; color:#7e92a3; letter-spacing:1px} .jadenlight p {text-indent:0px; padding:5px 15px; margin:0px;} .jadenlight {margin:0 auto; background-color:#163b59; background-image:url(http://i53.tinypic.com/s662hc.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; padding: 200px 0px 10px 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#0c2134; letter-spacing:.3px; word-spacing:.8px; line-height:12px; text-align:justify; width:400px; border:1px solid #0d1720; margin:0 auto;} </style> [/html] |
