KOHAKU AMAROK

000

Dated the 3rd

Green frightened eyes looked around as Kohaku stood nervously close to the edge of the pack's boarders. Several yards ahead of the young pup were the markers for the Cour des Miracles boarders, the focus for Kohaku most recent training. Amy had taught him how to speak, how to get information from others and had dropped him off to test his skills and abilities. It was his mission to spend a week in the pack, learn all he could, and leave without anyone even realizing who he was. For the next week, he was on his own.

Kohaku stood, frightened and alone. His body shook as he thought over the consequences of failure. The could kill him if they found out his mission. On top of that, everything seemed strange and new to the pup. It was his first time on his own, and he didn't even have the comfort of smelling like himself. Amy had scrubbed him clean and disguised his scent so that no one could recognize him, not even himself. He smelled like the forest that Amy had left him in, like water and mud.

Sucking in a big gulp of air, Kohaku tentatively moved forward. His steps were shaky, his ears and tail low. The closer he got to the boarder, the more nervous the tiny male became. At last, he was standing directly over the mark. With an amazing amount of effort and will power, Kohaku took a single, frightened step over the line. He shut his eyes and ducked down to the ground, expecting someone to chase him off, hurt him, or scream at him. The only sound that drifted through the air were the mournful cries of the cicada's.

No one was stopping him, no one was even trying. Kohaku's ears lifted and he stood, feeling empowered and triumphant. Slowly, the pup's grey and white tail rose, shaking when he realized that he was one step further to completing his mission. No one could stop him. Kohaku drew up to his full hight, and dramatically proceeded across the boarder. A wave of confidence rushed over him as he walked several feet unhindered into the pack. Looking back, Kohaku couldn't help but feel proud of himself... until he ran face first into a tree.

Yelping, Kohaku scrambled back. His head throbbed and his pride was injured again. So much for a quiet infiltration.

So glad I saw this before I went ahead and posted haha! :: 6+

Heiro shifted once more and now that he was back on his four feet for a little bit, he couldn’t help but admit that it felt nice. His body ached in a good way with all the new muscles he had discovered in his Optime form and the usage of body parts he had ignored before. Now he was extremely aware of his paws though his strong fingers were gone, that had to be the strangest thing as he watched with astonished eyes as the digits became the Pangea of his paw pads. He had noticed with surprise that shifting back didn’t itch or hurt as it had the first time. It was most likely due to the panic he had felt when he thought he was alone out in the grasslands, but in the safety of his pack lands, he had been able to relax his mind and body with his family nearby. The shift back had taken about 10 minutes, still a bit slow, but his parents assured him that it’d get easier with practice. With the energy spent, he’d have to rest another full day before he could walk on his two legs again.

A sense of purpose had gripped him in the morning when he realized now that he could shift, it was time for him to look forward to the adult routines of life in the pack. When he was much younger he used to trail behind Niro and was told about patrolling borders. Apparently this was incredibly important for the Court, they needed to keep their borders secure and report any odd occurrences to the higher ups. Heiro liked to think this was something he could do, and though he was still months away from becoming an adult, he felt it was almost his duty to begin this training as he had shifted well before his time. It wouldn’t hurt to have another body by the borders and besides, he was no longer afraid of the outside territories from all the exploring he’d done. He was sure his step grandfather would appreciate his efforts. So before morning meal had even been served, Heiro slipped out of the hotel and quickly made his way to the borderlands.

Four stocky legs, his baby weight was much more apparent in lupine form, brought him to the borders by noontime. No matter, he knew he had a good gate in Optime and would’ve gotten there faster, but even trying to force a shift made his head ache. Like mommy and daddy said, he’d have to wait. His tongue was lolling to the side in exhaustion and happiness when he assumed a military like stance and began to walk the invisible line of piss, adding his own scent when the urge came along. The Prince was walking along, tail up, shoulders raised, and head held high when his black slicked ears picked up an unfamiliar sound above the drone of the cicadas. A trespasser! He said with excitement under his breath, just as his tired paws mustered more energy to run forward. Mounting a small hill, his sky blue eyes scanned the bottom of the slope where a pup about the same age as him stood looking a bit dazed.

His thoughts of protecting the border immediately evaporated as he rushed over to the other immediately dropping into a play bow and barking excitedly at the stranger who smelled of none just like Ro. All he had was Tasha and Ro, who the heck was this new playmate! Hey! M’name’s Heiro, what’s yours? Wanna play? Where’d you come from? You don’ smell like anyone...we could play tag, I like tag! A series of questions and statements poured from his alabaster mouth. The jubilation of finding another young wolf had immediately robbed him of any defenses he possessed.
