Let's get those 400+ WCs in!!!! WC- 500+

'Rendall, Rendall!' J'adore called as his cremello steed approached the borders, recovering from a long gallop. His hooves moving at the more relaxed walk, each time they made contact with the ground they made a relaxing, bordering on hypnotic, click-and-thump sound. It was odd that the male felt nervous about crossing the borders. AniWaya and Pheonix Valley were public allies, so there was no sense to it. Shaking his head and moving 'Quera confidently across the borders with a soft yet firm nudge with his heels, he let out a glorious howl. Better safe than sorry, eh? The male thought.

AniWaya and Pheonix Valley members were set to spend time in each other territories, in pairs. It was arranged that Rendall and J'adore would work together in the Valley, fixing the roof of the barn. Building bridges with the allies, as it had been put. He had only met Jace from the Valley, and seen their leader about when he was the temporary Kalona of AniWaya, so it would nice to meet more of his allies. AniWaya and the Valley were laid back packs that stayed out of danger, a perfect outlook on things in this day and age.

'Quera seemed to think the same way about journeying onto forgien, claimed, land. His head was singnifcantly held lower, his ears flicked around like satellite dishes and his eyes seemed to move to every gust of wind. The Spaniard had latched onto his fear a while ago, reaching down to the beast's powerful neck a giving it a firm yet soft rub. 'Don't be afraid, they're our friends. We're welcome here'. I think, J'adore still didn't know if he was allowed to stroll straight into the pack lands. He supposed he could claim his obvious innocence and true obliviousness to the situation. It was not like he meant any harm was it? Yes, if he was doing something wrong, by accident of course, he would truthfully assert that he was from AniWaya and was infact an ally.

Dismounting slowly and taking 'Quera's rein's in his hands and called out again. 'Rendall? Anyone? I'm here from AniWaya'. Looknig back to his steed with a comforting gaze, J'adore stretched his legs. The journey had been long, but not unenjoyable. Though he had wished he had used a saddle. The thick woven cloth had been fine for a while, and better than nothing, but it still hurt when 'Quera sped up. The only bit of tack he had use for the journey was the polished black bridle, and the cloth of course.

J'adore waited patiently, shifting his weight as he did so. Patient as he was, he didn't enjoy waiting around. Especially in different pack lands. It felt so unnatural to the Spaniard, who was taught to never trespass. 'Quera nudged him gently, attention seeking as always. J'adore put a caring hand to the stallion's snout, his middle finger aligned with the red dyed strip going up the cream horse's face. Looking down his steed's body he saw the fire marking on his rear. It had faded slightly, J'adore would need to redye the markings soon.

Lets do it! WC: 800+ sorry its so darn long lol

Ever since Rendall was attacked by Lucifer, the monster had invaded her head with nightmares.Nightmares of him crawling into her room and into her bed, to molest her and finish the job he got so close to finishing when she last saw him. Her body responded so immediately it frightened her further. The woman tossed and turned in her sleep, hating that the males scent was still on her skin. She had tried so hard to rid herself of his scent, sometimes scrubbing herself raw on her thighs and torso. She woke up screaming every morning just before dawn and always in a cold sweat. Hating herself and Lucifer for the mess she had become.

This morning was no different, she once again woke up screaming, fearing the males breath that she imagined on her neck. Rendall got up out of her bed, knowing that it did her no good to go back to sleep. She walked into the kitchen to start up a pot of coffee, knowing that today she would need all the energy she could get, and headed into the bathing room for a bath. After a long steamy bath full of violent scrubbing and constant soap usage she decided it was no use and decided to try and ignore it today. The wolfess looked at herself in the water's reflection and shook her head at the abused woman who stared back at her. The swelling had gone down and the bruises were consumed by her fur, making them almost invisible. Her eyes though, told a different story, they were sleep deprived and had a worn-out frightened look in them. "You, my dear look terrible." she told herself.

She escaped her bath just in time for the water to be ready. Sighing tiredly she made herself a cup of the bitter drink and drank it down quickly, she would have to travel to the city's herb shop again to get some more sugar. Today, however, was the day she would be meeting up with a male from AniWaya. His name was J'adore Austral and he would be helping her to repair and build new roofs today. She smiled, happy to get out of the house that was quickly becoming her prison. She got dressed finally, packed some food for the ones arriving, and headed for the door to go meet the male at the pack borders. She quickly move over the land in her black flowing dress, but she could only move so quickly on foot. When she had finally reached the crest of the hill over looking their meeting spot the male was awaiting by his steed. He called out her name and she waved high, trying to get his attention as she smiled.

Rendall then called out to the visitor "Hello there!" and was glad to see that his journey was a safe one. Since AniWaya was a bit of a distance to travel the woman decided that she would offer hospitality to the male, she had plenty of rooms in her home and hunting had been good. Rendall approached the pair, amazed by their bold entry into pack lands, but most certainly not angry, she had been aware of the alliance forming between the two packs and welcomed any AniWayan into her homeland. "It's nice to meet you in person J'adore, I hope your journey was a well one. A very nice steed you have there, but you two must be hungry from your travel, here," She handed the male the pack,"I brought some refreshments for you, I hope you enjoy jerky. Its dry but filling." In the pack lay some large strips of dried deer and hare meat accompanied with four large apples she found in her trees and some home cooked bread, along with a small container of water. She knew well that many didn't share her taste for coffee or tea and instead of making them suffer, she went ahead and let them have water.

The blue-black woman offered a friendly smile and a handshake for the male. She wasn't sure exactly how he acted, but he seemed nice enough. He was much taller than her, (as were many) and he had rustic colored-fur with a lighter chest. She didn't take too much time to observe him, for it was rude to stare. Instead she nodded over by a tree and sat down. "Take a load off, you must be a little stiff from your ride, and I'm not sure if Jefferson or your leader has told you about your job here, but I'll go ahead and fill you in on some stuff that we've been given to do." She patted the grass next to her, not even imagining how she must have looked sparkling all bright blue and such in the sunlight, but she hoped the male didn't mind. "And while were at it, we can get to know each other a little better, after all, we are gonna be working together for a few days, so why not know a little about each other?"She chuckled and waited for the male to join her.

It wasn't long before a female arrive, his partner for the job. 'Hello'. When she handed him a pack, he was a little confused. Then when she explained it was food he smiled, 'Thank you'. Following her over to a tree and sitting down, he opened the pack. It was well stocked, J'adore carefully placed the jerky in between some of the bread and began to eat. 'Quera soon smelt the apples and came over looking for some. The Spaniard took one out and gave him it. 'Quera dropped it on the floor and started munching away at it. 'Quera would say thank you if he wasn't stuffing his face' The fire tender explained, patting his steed snout.

With a flash of his charming smile, J'adore nodded, 'Yes, I was very tiring, I was wishing I had used a saddle for it'. Taking another bite of his food the male's ears flicked about as Rendall spoke. 'I was partly filled in on what we have to do, roofing the Valley's barn or something right?' He was sure that was it, he wasn't so sure how helpful he would be however. Roofing wasn't something he had ever tried his hand at.

J'adore smiled at the blue-black woman, she was shorter than him as quite a few females were, 'Mhm, we certainly should. I'm J'adore Austral as you know already, I'm from AniWaya as you know already and I'm here to help with whatever you need. What you don't now is that I join my pack in December last year and I tend the great fire. What about you?' She was right, it was nice to know who you where working with and although he was already mated, he couldn't help flashing a charming smile now and then. Call it habit.

'And this is Vasquera, 'Quera for short. He is a cremello Lusitano stallion trained in dressage and various other uses. He's very fast and a great ride.' J'adore paused with a smile, 'I used to have two other horses, but I traded one to another of my packmates, and I am gifting the other to my neice when he is ridable'. It gave his great satisfaction to be girting Inez to Ayasha, not only would it give her an added bonus when scouting, but it would benefit Inez also. J'adore could not tend to his own horse and another one with such care as he could with one. Same went for Fuerte who, once given a stern kick up the backside, would make a loving mount for Desiree. All of the male's horses had been found owners who would be able to give them more attention than he could on his own. And bets of all they didn't even have to leave their stables or packlands, which J'adore supposed would please them even more.

'This food is really nice by the way' J'adore added as he finished his food, he reached into the pack to grab another two apples. Passing one to 'Quera and biting into one himself.

Rendall returned the males charming smile, happy to have made a new friend in the midst of the high-energetic rebuilding. She chuckled as she watched the stallion stuff his face with the apples as she commented "Well he is very welcome, I'm glad to have you both as my guest for the time being." Though she was tired in her soul, her body screamed with happy energy and the thought of being distracted from...him. Rendall shook her head slightly, chasing away the panic attack that crept up on her spine, slowly she readjusted and listened, nodding with satisfaction that the male was given a little back round on their job. "Yes it will be easy from what I know, I'm told that the foundation of the barn roof has already been built so the next process for us is to fill it up with insulation and smack on some good ol' tin to keep it sturdy and protected. Plus I thought to add on a few things of my own design to help build strength in it that way it'll take more than a little blizzard to blow it down" She smiled, happy with herself at creating a little more of a sturdy, less wind-catching design for the barn.

Rendall listened with intent as the male told her about his arrival and duty in AniWaya. She had never heard of a thing called the great fire but she had never been to the pack before and noted in her mind to visit there one day. She giggled a little at the males charming smile, though she could smell his mate all over him, she knew he was just being friendly. "Well I first arrived here as a pup, but a few months later I left to travel with my brother. I have just returned about 10 months ago and have been living here as sort of a scout/ hunter for the pack. Though I really hope to achieve Nunico again. Visiting packs and learning about their ways and culture thrill me." She had achieved it once, but had not been ready for it and failed her pack, but now she hoped to be a better ambassador should the patriarch see her fit to be one.

Rendall turned her attention back to the steed as the male talked about him and his other horses, the woman herself had been dying to learn to ride and had hoped to own a mount of her own one day. "He is a fine steed indeed, I only wish to possess a horse, planting crops and working the farm as well as scouting would be much easier, but alas, I tried once and nearly had him too, but sadly he got away." She smiled, remembering how she had tried to tame the large black stallion in the meadow far from her home last winter. One day she'll get that old boy. She was bound to have him. The woman in turn smiled at the males mention of her food. "Thank you, in living with my brother I learned a lot skills that are key to my life here in the Valley." Finally she stretched out, ready to get over to the ranch. "Well whenever you and Quera are ready and rested I'll show you guys over to the ranch, it's not to far from here just a couple of miles. I can show you my cabin on the way." She stood up and offered a hand to the man, giving him a friendly smile.

'He is greedy is what he is, you wanna watch he doesn't eat every bit of greenery in sight' J'adore joked as he patted his hungry mount, finally giving him the last apple. 'But I suppose he deserves it, he works tirelessly nearly everyday with out, much, complaint'. He let out another soft chuckle, 'I can not fault him either way'. This was true in all fact, his steed was an amazing. He wouldn't trade Vasquera in for anything else. 'And he has his amazing quirk that if you call him Vasquera, he will get all annoyed about it. He prefers 'Quera'. As if on cue 'Quera gave nim a sharp nudge with his snout, the half eaten apple still wedged in between his front teeth securely, like a dog clutching a juicy bone, wall blue eyes eyeing the male in playful sinisterness.

'Well I'm sure you'll get it if this greeting is anything to go by' the Spaniard said with a genuine smile. Anything was possible and now he turely hoped that his new friend would be able to achevie her goal. 'My brother lives in AniWaya with me, but he isn't doing any work for either pack, thought it is understandable he has my neice to look after, and he lost his mate recently, I suspect the showing off of mine has not help much'. He smiled softly, moving on swiftly however. 'I have another brother and a sister ho I've never met, all my other siblings were from a litter birthed when I was travelling'.

'There is a trader that lurks around New Brunswick, I'm sure you could find a nice horse there. I got 'Quera from a specialist market stall somewherer on the coast, between cities. I traded him for a human watch, a good price I would say for a trained horse. He has a lovely personality also. Though his size isn't that impressive, you should see my brother's steed Faith'. Faith was truely a goliath.

'I am ready now actually' J'adore said as he rose from the floor, leaning on 'Quera, the cremello not so happy about that. 'I don't mind another walk, food makes it a lot easier to handle. I have a cabin in AniWaya, where as most of the members live in native structures'. He found his cabin a lot more homely than some of the other member's homes, but despite his personal opinion he would not slander the fact.

Sorry this took forever WC:588

The female laughed as the wolf commented on his horse, a fine animal indeed. She enjoyed seeing the relationship between wolf and horse so fondly passionate and tightly knitted together.Rendall listened intently as the male talked of his family and Ani Waya, she began to walk, nodding to him that she was listening as they made their way deeper into the valley."Give your brother my condolences, I know that it is hard to live life without a mate when the world around you seems to be finding it's own." Her heart sunk at her own words, knowing very well of her own fate here in the pack. Though she felt uncontained happiness for those who have found their pairs, she did understand the bitter nights of laying next to an open space. Especially since the only thing that showed interest in her was a complete monster.

Even the mere thoguht of the black creature made Rendall's fear strike up with a discusting smell, and her stomach lurched dangerously close to vomitting. She closed her eyes for a moment, looking away from J'adore, and thought about her brother, her mother, Noah...and suddenly her stomach stopped and her fear resided back into the box she kept it locked up in inside her mind. Rendall gave an apologetic look to the spaniard "Forgive my moment, they come and go from time to time, I guess it's all one could do after an encounter with Lucifer." Why lie to memebrs of a pack that were our brothers now? Rendall knew she could trust the male. So instead of lingering on the fact she enveloped herself in the talk of Ani Waya. How enthralling it sounded like. "I would much like to visit Ani Waya sometime, it sounds exciting yet peaceful."

Her most interest peaked at the mention of the horse trader, "Perhaps I will be able to offer a good trade for a fair mare to help me out around here. If your mate would not mind I would enjoy your company very much so, I dont know that area very well. So what is this trader called? I would very much like to meet them soon, with summer coming on and all I would most certainly love the help tending to crops." The idea excited her, she had been working plans to build a stable since her encounter with the large stallion. Though she curbed her enthusiam for later, instead she led the way up the trail towards her house. As they peaked over the hill she pointed out the nice-sized cabin at the egde of the trees. "There is my home, if you need anything in the way of accomidations feel free to find your way there."

Rendall gave the spaniard a brilliant smile, she was proud of her home, it was an old, run-down, forgotten place that was to the point of being condemmed. Now, it stood strong and proud, and as fine as ever. "However, where we are traveling today is out more north of here. It wont be too long of a travel." She continued on past her home and up towards the trail leading to mirror lakes and the ranch."Life here in the valley is fairly, well normal for us I guess, wolves here either live in dens or cabins, we haven't had much of customs or traditions except for the occasional holiday." Though her life lacked many of the unique traditions she saw in many families, she was happy with her simple life.

No problem!

J'adore smiled, 'I shall'. It was sad, J'adore had lost his own mate perhaps not in such a harsh way as Leon had, and J'adore was now happily re-mated, but both had suffered. Leon must have found it harder though, with a girl pup to look after also. A breif wave of his hand told the woman before him that there was nothing to apologise for, 'I have heard of him'.He sensed it was not something she wanted to speak about, so he quickly turned his attention was turned to her next comment, 'It is, and I would happily invite you over for lunch, though you may prefer to eat it raw'. He smiled slyly at his joke, 'Though I suppose if you would like to risk it I'm sure I could dig out the sack of paella I have hidden somwhere'. When she spoke about Mizu's opinion about her visit, he nodded, 'Mizu would not mind, she'd enjoy it I think'. Mizu was a very open person, well as of recently so it was an intelligent guess. He went on to speak of the trader, 'It's a company really, based mainly in the carribean. But there is a trader that travels up into Canada to sell the more hard stock'. He smiled, again patting 'Quera's neck, 'Quera wasn't from the 'hardy' stock, but he's gotten on fine'.'Quera was built for speed and agility, so J'adore, at first, felt guilty riding him through the snow and rain. But the cremello coped fine. 'They guy you want is, Tercero. He's tall, thickly built, dark colours. He looks fierce but he's dedicated to his work and will fine you a perfect horse. I met him when I needed some tack for 'Quera'.

J'adore listened quitely to the woman as she herself spoke, uttering a soft, 'Cool', when she gestured to her cabin. 'So, what do you guys need doing over here exactly?' J'adore asked stroking 'Quera as steed and master walked along side each other. 'Quera can help too I suppose, if you've got any rope hidden around here, I can fashion him a harness and get him to pull logs or whatever. He's got some good muscle on him'. J'adore was sure he could persude the cremello stallion to pull his weight around for the good of both packs. He usually didn't mind hard work as long as he was rewarded afterwards, which made J'adore's work life a whole lot easier.
