WC 500!




Despite the cold chill that still lingered in the air the sun was shining strong and Keldava trotting along happily, her dark pelt absorbing the sun's rays and keeping the puppy nice and warm, aided in its efforts by her own excitable movements. As usual Keldava was wandering throughout the Ichikan territories. Rather unusually the puppy was farther afield than she normally roamed, she generally stuck fairly close to home unless she was wandering around with one of her siblings, a behaviour that had only bene reinforced by her encounter with the animal she now knew was called a bobcat.

Keldava thought that bobcat was a stupid name, but she couldn't deny that they were ferocious; she would have been in trouble if Mahnaya hadn't come along. While Keldava had recovered from the encounter with only a small, and in her opinion cool looking, chunk taken out her her ear she was more cautious now, certainly making sure to not annoy any of the wildlife. At least until she was sure it was either smaller than her or didn't have claws.

While Keldava had started out simply wandering around randomly, taking in the sights, she had soon found herself with a goal when she came across a scent trail for Kiara. While keldava didn't know the white furred woman too well she did recognise her and started eagerly following the familiar scent the second she came across it, tail wagging fiercely behind her.

Eventually she came to an odd hole in the ground, absolutely stinking of Kiara. Cocking her head curiously Keldava wriggled inside the hole, not realising that she was intruding on Kiara's home. Keldava had only ever known a human house as a dwelling and didn't even realise that wolves could live in other places, chalking this odd place up as somewhere that Kiara liked to play.

The deer skin lining the floor didn't garner much attention as many such objects had been used to keep Keldava and her siblings warm in their infancy. Whet did grab Keldava's attention was the bright blue piece of fabric, Keldava didn't know the word scarf to describe it, sitting innocently atop a pile of grass.

While Keldava didn't like blue as much as Dalgina seemed to do, she personally preferred a nice shade of dark purple she had only seen once in a flower, the blue scarf was made of a fine material and was very pretty. Eagerly Keldava rushed over and tugged at it carefully, rolling around in the material on the floor for a while.

Eventually Keldava ended up wrapped tightly in the blue material, but not in a way that would leave her unable to walk. Suddenly she felt very tired; the trip here had been very long for such a small wolf and when combined with her recent playing she barely had any energy left, so she trotted over to the deer pelt and circled a few times before dropping down, settling in for a quick nap.

It's Kiara's b-day!

Word Count → 465


It was exactly two years ago that Kiara had come into the world. Her first days were gone completely from her memory, although her mother loved to talk about them. Kiara had often listened to her mother fawn over her and her siblings as she described their first days of life. Six white puppies, all blind and deaf. As with most litter's, only four of the six made it past the first few days. It was then that Kiara and her siblings had received their names.


A sharp pain in her abdomen pulled the white female out of her thoughts. Every day the puppies that were growing inside her grew more active and her midsection continued to swell. Unfortunately, the increased activity led to some rather painful kicks to her internal organs. Kiara staggered while stars floated past her field of vision. It took several moments before the world righted itself and her vision cleared. She shook her head a little and continued on her path through the forest.


So far, her pregnancy had gone off without a hitch. Although she was no expert, it seemed to her like she had been normal and her puppies were developing well. The only problem seemed to arise in her activity. Kiara loved to run and to be active, but as her body had inflated like a balloon she was having trouble staying active. Moving had become difficult and her back hurt so much. Not to mention the occasional kicks to her middle made even walking difficult.


Earlier in the day Kiara had gone for a stoll. The weather had been lovely and warm, so Kiara had traveled to the nearby stream to take a bath. The cool water felt great against her skin and a lot of her fur that she had started to shed was washed away. After her bath, the arctic wolf slowly made her way back to the den. When Kaira approached the entrance she was greeted by a familiar scent. She lowered her muzzle to the ground to get a better sample. Sure enough, it was one of Jace's puppies. Kiara cocked her head, curiosity slowly bubbling to the surface. The enlarged female slowly ducked down into the dim den. Her clean coat was going to get a little dirty, but the dirt didn't really bother Kiara.


Sure enough, settled into the deer fur and wrapped in Kiara's precious scarf was Keldava. The dried grass she had meticulously collected was scatter about. The young mother shook her head and sighed. She would have to gather it all up later. However, with another look at the sleeping puppy, white female couldn't help but smile. Slowly, she moved towards the puppy. Kiara gently licked the top of Keldava's head before settling down next to her.
