- Jazper Rhiannon-Knight - 05-01-2012 [html] OOC: Delivering a gift for ND Zalan and/or one other preferable. Plus is it okay if we pre-date this to early on the 29th? Word Count: 300+
As the white and black painted beast in front of him pulled the cart forward Jazper could tell he was starting to get grumpy again. They had left Casa di Cavalieri two days ago, traveling at a brisk walk for most of the journey and would arrive very shortly at New Dawn’s boarders. Although he wished to deliver a gift to Zalen and New Dawn the trip was also a good way for the Sole to test Vito’s will to pull a cart. He had never been asked to perform such a task so the first few hours the Knight had to stop every now and then and remind the horse that the wooden planks he was attached to was not food and to reward his better behavior with an apple. However in the past couple of hours the horse seemed to be getting distracted more regularly, a sign that he was bored of pulling the cart and Jazper along. .jazgoldraze b {font-weight:bold; color:#5a5207; letter-spacing:1px; text-shadow:#7a7973 1px 1px 2px; } .jazgoldraze p {text-indent:25px; padding:5px 13px; margin:0px;} .jazgoldraze {margin:0px auto; width:500px; background-color:#d8d7cc; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/rAlgs.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #7a7973; padding: 360px 0px 3px 0px; font-family: georgia, sans-serif; font-size:12px; color:#7a7973; line-height:16px; letter-spacing:.5px; text-align:justify;} .jazgoldraze .wordcount {letter-spacing:0px; font-size:11px; font-weight:bold; border-top:1px dashed #5a5207; text-align:right; padding:0px 5px; text-transform:uppercase; margin:0px 15px 15px 15px;} .jazgoldraze .ooc {font-style:italic; font-size:11px;} </style>[/html] - Adonia Demos - 05-02-2012 Luckily the wolfdog was over her heat, and would soon den back with the others, but first she would have to wait till her clumsy arrogant mate healed. She wasn't sure what to do with that relationship, but there was plenty of time to wait for him to heal before she had to decide. Her swift lithe frame moved around the territory, eagle upon her back, giving herself some space and alone time until she heard the call of a male at the borders. It wasn't her assign duty to patrol, or greet any stranger/newcomer, but Adonia didn't think it would hurt to do it. Her legs pushed her paws off the soft ground and began to propel herself through the lands coming to the source of the call. The eagle, unable to stay on began to take flight, still not very good at it, but able to at least fly, landing was another story. Adonia's eyes meant a luperci, he was tall and dark coated. She noted the basket he had along with the cart and horse in the background. It made her miss her own horse greatly, but judging by how New Dawn was set up, there probably was no room for a horse. So, for now she just had her eaglet, who was growing fast. She had begun to train the bird, and now he was learning to fly, but unsuccessfully. It shown in how he attempted to land upon her shoulder, lucky for Adonia she dodged the incoming and the bird crashed hard into the earth, his claws dug harshly into the earth. That earth could have easily been her back. One of the reasons she dodged it. Her eyes looked to the bird with a scolding glare. The bird opened his mouth almost hissing at her, "..s.ss--oorrr--sorrriieey" It was rough, but he was learning to speak. She gave a slight smile, then she turned her attention to the large luperci before her. "Hello, welcome to New Dawn's borders..I'm Adonia Demos, subordinate. I'm sure my Alpha will be here shortly...until then, is there anything I can do for you?" Her voice soft and kind, she laid down, alert and ready to stand if needed to, for any reason. She simply laid down to allow her bird to gain easy access to her back. He quickly reposition himself onto Adonia's back, and she stood easily and gracefully while making sure her bird stayed balanced. - Noah - 05-02-2012 [html] WC:3+ There was a welcoming sent that was carried though the lands, there was food and there was his brother. The silver monster had for the first time in a very long time felt like a child picking up this scent. He wanted to run like the child that was screaming to be let loose and run to his older brother and wiggle and squirm all around him. Though the silver monster did run as fast as his three legs would carry him, the monster would not allow that child to come out to play. The male was vowing never to have children and never to have another lover, so he would not allow that child to come out...ever again. Grass flattened under his paws as he moved though the pack lands with very good speed for a tripod. The male had become quite skilled traveling upon the three legs and could just about surpass a four legged wolf while walking. After all his strides in walking where would like jump, as to where a normal wolf work on pushing each foot forward. The speed of the silver Sawtooth, grew quicker and quicker, scent of the family member and the blood from the kill became stronger and stronger. That drove the last Sawtooth male member to go as fast as he could. The male was loving this spring weather and it also helped make the fire burn harder, faster, and stronger in his heart that burned for the childish games to begin of the spring time weather. Seeing the wolfdog that was once again a pack member he gave one last stride coming up to her and throwing his paws forward while his body weight back as he skidded to a stop at the feet of his brother. The silver Sawtooth monster looked up to him with a small hint of a smile, not really caring to much about who actually got to see the normally rude, curd and meanest member of the pack smiling and enjoying the family. ”Why hello dear Brother!” The Monster once so cold voice rang clear with joy and happiness. .ns-sdb01 {width:400px; margin:0px auto;} .ns-sdb01 .ooc {font-style:italic; font-size:11px; padding:0px 15px; margin:-20px 0px 0px 0px; } .ns-sdb01 p {padding:10px 15px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .ns-sdb01 b {color:#b4b7b7; letter-spacing:0px; font-family:times new roman, times, serif; font-size:14px; } .ns-sdb01 .inner {background-color:#0f1110; border-size:1px; border-width:1px; border-style: none solid solid solid; border-color: #000000; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#ffffff; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:272px; text-align:justify; margin:0px auto; width:398px;} </style>[/html] - Zalen Damaichu - 05-02-2012 [html] The dark Alpha had been near the den, reading his poetry book. He did not often do this in the public eye, for he knew that reading was a foreign concept to some of his members, as it had once been to him. But at this time, Zalen needed the comfort that the prose brought him. He could get lost in the words of dead humans, they wrote so eloquently. Had it not been for Soran teaching him this skill, he would not be the same wolf he was to day. But then, a call broke through his reverie and the ebon male lifted his head; someone was requesting his presence, someone he knew. Zalen closed the book and placed it back in the hovel in the den. Titania was not there, unsurprisingly, she was still pretty pissed off at him. With a sigh, the sable Alpha exited the den. Zalen came slowly, for he recognized the voice, and he wanted whatever others were interested to arrive before he. He had remembered that the giant of a knight would come some day, as he had promised he would. And now, with Ichika no longer, Zalen was more eager to extend hospitalities to other, gentler packs. Zalen was upon fours again, though in Optime, and he arrived on the scene shortly, and was surprised at what he saw. Adonia was already there, he hadn't seen much of her lately but had taken note that she had adopted a bird; a silly idea, but he would not put her down for it. But what really surprised him was Noah, the gray wolf that had been so cold to the others now nearly pranced before Jazper like a pup. Zalen quickened his pace and as he got closer, shifted from the four legged gait to stand erect on two. This did not much much of a difference, the leader of Casa di Cavalier stood heads above him and the Alpha had to crane his neck to look into his eyes, "Well met Jazper!" he said jovially, extending his arm in greeting, "Welcome to New Dawn."

It did not take long before a female came to greet him as she approached he smiled gently, glancing at Vito every now and then as the stallion had a habit of being a tad wild and self centered at times. In an odd turn of events his yellow eyes caught sight of a bird nose-diving towards the ground. As the creature hit the earth the alpha’s ears flattened backwards, concerned for it’s well being. Although he had not often been around pet birds he was aware that many wolves enjoyed them and they had benefits as messengers. His body relaxed once more as the female, clearly a dog hybrid, lowered herself to allow the bird, who to Jazper’s surprise attempted to speak, access to her back. .jazgoldraze b {font-weight:bold; color:#5a5207; letter-spacing:1px; text-shadow:#7a7973 1px 1px 2px; } .jazgoldraze p {text-indent:25px; padding:5px 13px; margin:0px;} .jazgoldraze {margin:0px auto; width:500px; background-color:#d8d7cc; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/rAlgs.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #7a7973; padding: 360px 0px 3px 0px; font-family: georgia, sans-serif; font-size:12px; color:#7a7973; line-height:16px; letter-spacing:.5px; text-align:justify;} .jazgoldraze .wordcount {letter-spacing:0px; font-size:11px; font-weight:bold; border-top:1px dashed #5a5207; text-align:right; padding:0px 5px; text-transform:uppercase; margin:0px 15px 15px 15px;} .jazgoldraze .ooc {font-style:italic; font-size:11px;} </style>[/html] - Adonia Demos - 05-02-2012 The large luperci, began to introduce himself and his reasons for being here, when suddenly she sensed another coming, her head turned just in time to see Noah barreling over. Her tail wagged as she saw the glimmer of what once was. A large smile creased over her muzzle seeing and hearing such a lovely reunion of brothers. She didn't even know Noah had a brother. Was Noah that tall in his Optime form? If so, wow. Before she could say 'nice to meet' you Zalen showed up, her eyes glancing to the alpha who was in his Optime form. Two ebony leaders. It was amusing to think that maybe one had to be black in order to rise in rank. A silly thought and imagination. Her bird was seeming to be uncomfortable with all these wolves around, but she craned her neck to give a reassuring lick. She needed to work on socialization, but this was a good beginning. The reunion cut short as now it became business. Her neck stretching as she stood taller trying to glance at the furs. Nice, and a grand idea for puppies and elderly. Then her eyes looked to the turkeys. They were quite plump looking and her tail wagged hoping to have a nice bite of those. Even her bird looked interested. How cannibalistic. Adonia smiled at the idea of her bird eating other birds, but he was a predator after all, surely Golden Eagles have had a bird or two in their diet. Adonia made sure to feed him more fish than other types of meat. It was good for his feather and brain development. She wanted him to grow to be a highly intelligent bird, even if his species was known for their intelligence already. It was something she made a point in doing, in hopes that he'd be able to master speech soon. Already he could mutter some words, but getting him to really speak sentences would be another thing entirely. Adonia remained quiet wanting to stay for a moment or two before slipping away to check on Ookami and bring him something to eat. Hopefully, maybe, he wouldn't vanish on her anymore, and things could again progress in their mateship. If not, Adonia would be forced to break the mateship, something she didn't want to do at all...but she needed to draw the line somewhere. Her ears rolled back as she became distracted with the thought, her nose dipping down. A year...almost two, wasted. Adonia wasn't getting any younger, and she really did want to at least have her fathers name passed on... - Noah - 05-02-2012 [html] WC:2+ The silver tripod Sawtooth monster was all over the golden eyes black leader that was his older step brother. It had been to long since they had seen each other. Noah whimpered as he nuzzled and licked upon the black leader when he was down hugging upon him. It was so nice to have family members that did not judge him and accuse him of things that were not true, nor did was there any reason to support that claim. For that reason alone the silver male would enjoy this time that the black male would be here in the pack lands, even if it was a peace keeping mission. The silver male coughed and backed up when the dark male come up to the group, finding his place away from the two leader that was towering over the two New Dawners. Noah was not going to step into the conversation unless asked to, or addressed an any other matter. The Sawtooth heir knew that with this being the mission that it was he was the best to be there as a witness to such a wonderful thing. He was honored that the black male hadn’t ran him off. Noah watched the pack sister as the silver monster took to her side nipping at her softly, she seemed deep in thought and appeared to be troubled by those thoughts also. .ns-sdb01 {width:400px; margin:0px auto;} .ns-sdb01 .ooc {font-style:italic; font-size:11px; padding:0px 15px; margin:-20px 0px 0px 0px; } .ns-sdb01 p {padding:10px 15px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .ns-sdb01 b {color:#b4b7b7; letter-spacing:0px; font-family:times new roman, times, serif; font-size:14px; } .ns-sdb01 .inner {background-color:#0f1110; border-size:1px; border-width:1px; border-style: none solid solid solid; border-color: #000000; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:12px; color:#ffffff; letter-spacing:.4px; word-spacing:.3px; line-height:16px; width:272px; text-align:justify; margin:0px auto; width:398px;} </style>[/html] - Zalen Damaichu - 05-10-2012 [html] OOC: Sorry bout the wait guys >.< +3 Zalen was glad to see Jazper again, it had been too long, and he was more than happy to the have the Knight here. In the past, he might have been more wary, as he had been wary when he had met the giant man, but now friends were more important than ever. Zalen clasped the man's arm firmly and smiled as Jazper commented on Noah's living here. Zalen glanced over at his pack-mate, "Yes, Noah has been with us from nearly the beginning, and Deuce too." Zalen wondered if Deuce was Jazper's mother, or if he had been only fathered by the same man as Noah. Either way, the New Dawn Alpha was sure that the Casa male would know of her. Zalen glanced over at Adonia and noticed her far off expression; he had not seen much of her mate, Ookami, lately, and wondered if perhaps she was wondering where he was as well. But then, Zalen's attention was drawn when Jazper retrieved gifts from his cart. And what gifts! The finest furs Zalen had ever seen, save perhaps the ones from the winter gathering; and two male turkeys; what a treat. The Alpha could not help but to wag his tail jovially, "What fine gifts, sir! And how appropriate." He knew that this last comment would probably go over everyone's heads, but he was glad of the gifts; they were true to the New Dawner's nature, unlike the mind altering plants and drink that the Anathema leader had brought them. The marijuana and alcohol still remained hidden in a location known only to Zalen and Titania until they could figure out what to do with them. Coming away from his thoughts, Zalen looked at Noah, "Noah, you must tell me of your extended family someday, I seem to have already met most of them.: And then he laughed and turned to Jazper, Come, let me show you the den so you may meet others if you like. Do you plan on staying for a while? The Sunrise Meadow would be a safe haven for your steed. Again with the horses, but Zalen didn't mind at all in this case.

It was all a little overwhelming. It had been only minutes before that he had finished a couple of day’s journey of solitude to the pack and now there was three wolves around him. It was difficult for Jazper to spread his conversation three ways, as he was use to addressing a group in the form of announcements, not in informal conversation. He found it odd that Noah’s once over excited presence instantly turned as Zalen showed up, and as a concerned older brother he raised a brow in his silver siblings direction, though he did not bring it up orally. Different packs had different rules and he already had the knowledge that New Dawn was more traditional. Although Jazper had been born into a non-shifting environment his four years of experience had softened his heart and made him quite lenient even when in a leadership position. He knew there was a time and place but believed his members were equals as long as they provided for their family and gave due respect. .jazgoldraze b {font-weight:bold; color:#5a5207; letter-spacing:1px; text-shadow:#7a7973 1px 1px 2px; } .jazgoldraze p {text-indent:25px; padding:5px 13px; margin:0px;} .jazgoldraze {margin:0px auto; width:500px; background-color:#d8d7cc; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/rAlgs.png); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:1px solid #7a7973; padding: 360px 0px 3px 0px; font-family: georgia, sans-serif; font-size:12px; color:#7a7973; line-height:16px; letter-spacing:.5px; text-align:justify;} .jazgoldraze .wordcount {letter-spacing:0px; font-size:11px; font-weight:bold; border-top:1px dashed #5a5207; text-align:right; padding:0px 5px; text-transform:uppercase; margin:0px 15px 15px 15px;} .jazgoldraze .ooc {font-style:italic; font-size:11px;} </style>[/html] |
