717w :: I see a newbie here XD Welcome to Salsola!


Clouds had retired to allow the dim northern sunlight into these crude lands. Even the trees seemed more lively and of a brighter color. However, that did not mean an easier time for the Coyote girl, who had decided to exit the ruins to go in search of something to eat. She did not feel like hunting, at least not at the moment, so she decided to pay a visit to the storage room and steal a few pieces of meat for herself. Her siblings could catch their own food.

As the girl moved towards the storage, she noticed a few slaves and a couple of other wolves strolling around the common areas. Pity filled her scarlet eyes as she thought how she could just grab some food from the common supplies to sustain herself, whilst the slaves had to conform with the trifle leftovers they had access to. This was the culture of her pack, she though as she caressed the scar that the Auxiliary had carved on her flesh as a full transicion into the Salsolian society. But she did not have eyes for them at the moment, and soon she forgot about them to focus on her destination.

She reached the storage, entered, and left within seconds, carrying two pieces of dried meat which she chewed eagerly. By then, the golden circle was already high in the celestial dome, signaling the time of the day where most of her packmates crept around the packlands, head on their daily chores. And her? she had left her stone knife somewhere around the ruins, so she could go and fetch it to practice some more moves. However, a breeze that blew between the trees chilled her and put away any possible hard physical activity. A stroll would do it then, and so she resumed her walk towards the dirty cabins where many of the slaves lived. Twilight shades wandered across the old buildings, looking for the best route to follow. By then, she had already finished half of the simple breakfast that she had humbly taken, and actually realized that she did not need more than that. She was about to throw the meat to the ground when a hunched body approached her hurriedly. She recognized the golden ring that clung from his septum, and she recognized him as the slave that went for the name Khirot.

"Lady Kimaris! Stranger trespass. He take pack's goods." He spoke in his foreign accent, making the orange coyote turn to see him. Following the slaves' etiquette, he had casted his eyes away from hers and his ears were strongly pressed against his skull. But by his movements, it looked like he was eager to grab said stranger and stop him right away. Apparently, he did not have the strength to do so, so he had ran to her for help. Xochime's ears stiffened, knowing that she may be facing a rogue male, but otherwise decided to face whoever dared mess with her family. "Got eet. Wher' is he?" Handing the last of the dried meat to the wary slave, she headed in the direction that he had pointed in, decided to check what was going on.

The smell of the stranger was not hard to tell from the other smells, which she knew very well. She tracked his smell through the labyrinth of old buildings, until she saw the one who had left the trail. A faint curiosity appeared in her train of thought at the sight of the strange objects that hung from her torso, but it was quickly overpowered by possessiveness for her terrains. She remembered to keep a dominant posture, but felt slightly intimidated by his big form, and by the way he carried himself confidently. She knew that she was neither self-confident nor strong, but she prayed that her presence and dominant stance would be enough to dissuade him from remaining in the place. She stopped a few meters about him, trusting that the distance would grant her some time in case things turned violent, and barked in his direction. "Who ahr you and what ahre ya doin' here, forastero?" As scarlet shades stared into icy blue, the coyote girl completely oblivious to the golden ring that she had forgotten to retire from her dark nose.
