Yay, got it up fast and I hope it is good enough. Last one is really all you nee to read since that is where Io comes in, others are just leading up to him finding the hotel. Big Grin WC:471

My kiss on your lips


Itzal's legs ached from running. But he felt great. His breathing was harder, and not as controlled as he would have liked. He shook himself, surprised he was so steady on four legs after walking on two for so long. He started to run again, happy to he finally got to stretch his legs by himself and just give into the rush of running. He picked up the scent of a few rabbits in the chilly air, and thought about stopping to hunt. He kept going, cause he could always hunt later, but right now he was giving into the thrill of the power in his legs.

Itzal missed the sound of the leaves rustling, and the warmth of the sun as it shone through the leaves. The cold had killed the leaves off them, making them fall out of the trees. He liked the cold weather, but he missed parts of the warmer times. He remembered last year when he had arrived here. He slowed down some are he realize he was two years old now. one and a half years since his mom and siblings were murdered, and his father fatally injured. He had lived so long without them. It seemed almost as if they weren't even real. Merely a figment of his imagination. He sped back up, not wanting to think about those times.

Itzal stopped short as he saw a few buildings. He turned his head to the side, confused. He didn't think that Anathema had any building in its territory. But the land so far still smelled of Anathema. He started to walk towards the building, seeing a sawmill in the distance, and a smaller building on behind that. He took off running towards it, his teeth bared as he tried to pick up the scent of another pack or another canine who wasn't of his own pack.

Itzal headed for the sawmill first, since that is what first appeared. He sniffed around it, only smelling Anathema. He knew the sawmill was part of the pack, but he just wanted to check to be sure. He headed northeast, to come back around to the other side of the farther small building. He was running, but silently, as was his talent. He sniffed along, smelling that his place was indeed part of anathema.

He relaxed some, until he found the old playground. He looked over everything in it with wonder. Were these human machines and toys left behind? He touched a seesaw with his paw and watched as it moved and tottered back and forth. He snickered and left those behind.

He slowed as he approached the hotel, circling it, even though he knew it smelled of anathema. He was curious and eventually moved in front of it to sit, waiting to see if anyone was around.

Io stormed up the corridors. Contrary to popular belief Io didnt want to be surrounded by her children twenty four seven. Which wasn't even the problem at the moment. At that precise moment Io wished she could find her boys, they had slipped away a few minutes ago and she'd been searching for them ever since. Io could never decide the ringleader in their getaways, but she assumed it was Jandro because, well, it always was, wasn't it? Either way she'd always blame him. Dymtr was special and he'd never stray from his path, right?


Finding her way to the lobby, she noticed the slight, ever so slight, gust of wind and quick as a flash her eyes were directed to the small window beside the main door. It was open a jar, the gap large enough for two puppies to escape through. Smilling, Io opened the door and began to tail the boys. Whike they had the potential for speed in the future, Io had the speed, and larger gait, at that moment in time, so catching up the the bastards was childs play. She spotted them easily, acknowleging Itzal up ahead of them. 'Alejandro. Get here!' she hissed, causing the brown coated pup to flinch. She was upon them in a flash, batting their heads with a paw. 'Itzal. Nice to see you' she said, smiling.

OOC sup bitches? / +yo numbah!


The first movement Itzal saw was the puppies scrabbling out of the window. It made him smile as he watched the puppies take off. They were headed straight for him. The second movement he noticed was surprising, but pleasant. Io was raising after the pups, and apparently one of them, the brown one, was named Alejandro. Itzal smirked as Io was upon them and punishing the pups, which were apparently hers. He smiled and nodded at Io. And you as well. These pranksters yours? Io hadn't seemed pregnant last time he had seen her, but he didn't have much experience with pregnant wolves. Maybe he just missed the signs. Or maybe a lot had changed since he had last seen Io.

He looked over the puppies with a neutral look, smiling at the brown one name Alejandro. He must be the ring leader behind this joke on their mom. That reminded Itzal as something he would have done. That time seemed like a life time ago. He liked the little pup so far, if he was indeed the mastermind. And it is a good sign if pups are playful, it means they are doing okay. He glanced at Io with a smirk. Seems like they decided to have some fun and go exploring. He chuckled softly, standing on four legs and shaking out his fur. He didn't like sitting for too long. It made him antsy.

He looked at the hotel that the pups and their mother had come from. What is this place? Is it still in Anathema? Did you move out of the caves and come here? He felt like he was barraging her with questions, but he wanted to know things about this pack. Especially things about territory he didn't know about. And he was curious about what had happened to Io since they had last meant. He remembered the wonderful meal she had made for him, He hadn't seen her since though, and now he knew why. Since he was here though, and so was she with her puppies, they might as well catch up.

She padded up, nudging the pups sharply, a soft kind of punishment, and sitting down behind them. ’Unfortunately’ she commented idly, smiling all the while. Dymtr returned to his mother side, mocking her up right sitting position as best as he could. Even still it looked like a big fluffy ball. Jandro stayed in front, while he had been the least curious now he was becoming interested in everything while his brother started to be apathetic to most things. Maybe because he’d seemed them all before his older sibling. ’They should not be out...’ she noted, directing a glare towards the boys.


’This is the hotel, myself and my family reside in there as of recently’ she explained glancing around idly. ’The village is not far off. It’s a part of Anathema, yes. It was reclaimed not long ago’. Io stared around in the direction of the training grounds, though she could not see it as it was some way off. ’Alaki is fixing up a training ground also’ she added plainly. She would have to take Dymtr down there and at least try to install interest in the subject. He would be a fight, she was sure of this.

Itzal was surprised to see Io playing the role of a mother. It seemed kind of natural for her as well. She seemed not to mind the puppies playfulness. Maybe he had gotten the wrong impression the first time they had meant. She hadn't seemed like the mother type. Looks like he had been wrong. Itzal grinned at Io's response. How long have you been a mother? He was curious, because Itzal had seen Io not long ago, but here she was a mother with two pups, old enough to be running around.

Itzal watched one of the puppies sit down beside its mother and try to mock her pose. Itzal's lips twitched at the corned of his maw, and his eyes flicked to the other pup. This pup seemed to be more interested in what was going on around it. He looked between the two pups. They looked different, but were definitely brothers.

He shrugged when Io mentioned they shouldn't be out. Pups like to have fun. Sometimes it is best to let them. He wasn't trying to tell her how to raise her kids, he was just suggesting some friendly advice. He certainly wasn't an expert on this stuff, but he did remember when he was a pup. He looked up at the hotel, listening to Io as she explained her family lived in the hotel right now. It was good to know the hotel and village were part of Anathema, it meant their territory was probably larger. Itzal's ears perked up at the sound of a training ground. He would go their sometime when Alaki got it set up. He could use a place to really train and work. That sounds interesting. Do you know when he will have it set up? And how have you been since we last meant Io?

Io shrugged, thinking back, 'Just over a month now' she admitted, petting Dymtr's head softly, 'Feels like longer though' she noted swiftly, rolling her shoulders into yet another shrug. They were certainly a handful, though with Aeron, Xyza and Leon's aid it had been an easy task on most occasions. Shurui hadn't been seen since she'd gone to show him Dymtr, and even then he'd been a load of shit. The woman shrugged, 'They have been out most of the day' she chuckled, 'I would assumed they would be hungry by now' she explained, shaking her head in wonder.


'No idea' she admitted, 'You should ask Alaki. Or Leon he would know too I think'. When he asked about the date of their last meeting, she tilting her head to think, 'Hmmm. Three months I think...' she considered casually. Yes, because it was only a few days before her and Leon... Her thought train stopped, that was not a memory she wished to relive. After all it had been done with no love whatsoever.


'Why?' she asked, with almost genuine interest, Io sat up straighter as Dymtr sat down underneath her, peeping out from under her paws.
