- Fritz Kaiser - 01-02-2010 Word Count: 520 The Forest of Nod, it was a beautiful place that the coyote had come across. A smile crossed his face as he walked along the cold ground. His heart was pounding at the beauty that surrounded him despite the pretty dormant trees. Winter indeed was a time that caused nature to recede back into its dormant state, but he loved the snow. It was all beautiful to him as he made his way through the forest looking for a place of his own. No, it wasn’t like he wanted to be alone, but he preferred living in a forest. Maybe it was nostalgia of how his family used to live, but when he saw the forest he knew he would live there. Smiling to himself he was in his Optime form, walking like a human would. Of course he didn’t mind the three forms, but he chose this one as a way to move through the snow better. In his other forms it was much harder and though he didn’t like to us his lack of a build as the reason for it, it was. Ears were alert as he tread the ground quietly, his body ready just in case. His new home was oh so new to him, but he was grateful for being accepted. The coyote turned his eyes around the Forest of Nod. At home the forests seemed to be much darker than they were here. It was most definitely less frightening. Moving along casually he began to lose his guard as he tilted his head to the side. Now his forest home had been beautiful but he thought this place was magnificent and he couldn’t help but grin. Nature was somehow soothing he had to admit I, but he enjoyed the other life he had been introduced to as well. Right now he was experiencing the freedom of not having someone tell you how pathetic and useless you are. Yes, he felt he could actually contribute to the clan here. His heart pounded in his chest at the excitement of finally showing his worth. Licking a fang he found a tree that he came over to and laid down against, a leg propped up. His arms were put behind his head to be a cushion as he sat on the cold ground. Tail wrapped around his leg as he yawned. Closing his eyes he felt very relaxed here, despite a slightly chilly wind sweeping through his fur causing him to shiver slightly. There just had to be another way to get warm, but it wasn’t like he had anything on him. All he did was run from Germany. Barely did he stop to take a breather as his ear twitched slightly in anticipation of the col. Maybe he shouldn’t be lying here by himself in the cold. But where else was he going to go? He didn’t know anyone save for two here but he hadn’t met either. Sighing he sat up finally, his eyes opened to the world around him. Ah well. Maybe he’ll be lucky and find a place here that would be warm. - Marik - 01-08-2010 [html] http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x242 ... abdino.png); background-color:#468498; background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; text-align:justify;"> ©table code and image to jacoby; 1200 words
How was Marik to know that his best friend from Germany was here? He had come chasing after his brother. He had left behind everything in Germany without a word to follow after the note that his brother had left for him. He had only planned on coming to Canada and getting Cotl then returning to Germany. But he couldn’t do that after learning that his brother was happy here. That Cotl was actually fitting in and had even gotten himself a rank. How could he force his brother away from that and back to Germany where he had nothing going for him. His slightly older sibling was prospering here. It was something that he was never allowed to do back home. So Marik couldn’t steal that from him. Or rather, steal him from that. And with the promise that he had made he had to stay he wasn’t allowed to leave. His brother didn’t need him but also wouldn’t let him leave. Marik didn’t much understand it himself. His brother had replaced him but got clingy whenever Marik considered returning to Germany where he had left his life behind. He hadn’t thought that when he left he would be giving up everything. He thought that it would be a quick trip. That he would get Cotl and they would return together and that would be that. It was the reason eh hadn’t left a note or allowed any of his friends to know that he was taking off. He didn’t expect to still be here. And there was nothing he could do now about informing his friends of his whereabouts. Marik was just out of luck.
