So they did it. They broke away from New Dawn. There was so much going on and Jiva’s reasons were his own and Drin had hers. He mainly missed the “civilized way of doing things, and was tired of being bothered by grovelling. Now he was on his way to happiness. Where he could move forward and build on things. There was so much more to life that. what he had experienced and now here he was moving. He had lives in New Dawn for nearly a year and he had learned many things that came with living there. He grew stronger in that aspect but it was time to move on. During the day Jiva and Palaydrian shifted carrying Leaf who tended to get restless and tire himself out quickly or always fell behing. Jiva was carrying the bags of things they owned though Palaydrian had some lighter ones herself. For wild wolves they sure had a bunch of stuff though much of it was all natural.

Since New Dawn wasn't too terribly far from Vinatta they did not have to travel for days. Saul had given them a great impression and Jiva hoped he would welcome his family into theirs. so upon closing in on the borders he looked over to Drin who was carrying the young kit he smiled "Well this is it." He said taking a nervous breath and howled for all to hear as ha had only a month or so earlier. He stepped back holding onto their possessions with hope in his eyes waiting for someone to answer his call.

The things they carried! Trekking from New Dawn’s lands in the early light and finally arriving at Vinatta’s borders almost made Palaydrian want to break out into tears. The entire day had been so emotional. Saying their goodbyes felt so strange, but after Zalen had given both Jiva and herself his blessing, her heart had been lifting since the night before. The dark king didn’t see them off, but they’d already said their goodbyes when they made their intentions known. It was sad to close that chapter on her life, but a bit of home was coming with her. She had her mate, her adopted son, and surprisingly, even Lena to accompany her. The girl was quickly growing up though Drin wondered why she’d want to leave the home she had always known now. She was still much too young.


Whatever her reasons were, Palaydrian made a mental promise to Sky to keep her daughter safe on the journey and the golden fae would always keep an eye out for the dark wolf she’d always considered a daughter as well. Jiva had affections for the young woman too, the pearly-eyed fae would be kept in good keeping and would always have their protection if need be. The group made good timing though Leaf protested almost two hours out of New Dawn and insisted on walking himself which only slowed them down until he was too tired. It came to the point where he wouldn’t sit in his satchel-made-carrier comfortably and he ended up forcing his parents into passing him back and forth, even Lena helped out. The tawny kit wasn’t too much of a burden, but both Jiva and Drin carried numerous bags, slings, water skins, and gourds on their person. Needless to say, when Vinatta’s scent hit their nares, they were relieved to drop a few things and rest at the borders.


The golden lady smiled and nodded, bending down to place Leaf on the ground and stretching back up to crack her back after she relieved herself of the bags she had been carrying. The kit made his usually pur barks, tail whipping wildly behind him as he attacked invisible bugs on the discarded bags. Not too bad, huh? She asked Lena as Jiva’s howl went up. She unlooped a waterskin that had been tied around her waist, rummaged through everything she’d carried, and poured the contents out into a hollowed out gourd bowl she uncovered. Water Leaf, she said placing the bowl near the rambunctious fox before taking a swig from the skin. Would you like some Lena? She asked, unhinging a second bag to give to her mate.

Yerpyerp! Everything alright with me. 83


The girl was glad that all she had was a single clothe to her name--sensing the various objects they brought with them, she wondered where they could have kept everything that had collected. It both made her curious and confused. But, she aided them when she could like when she would hold Leaf from time to time, feeling the urge to help them doubled now that they were all what she had left of home. Not that she wanted to return, at least not so soon after they left.


She had told Zalen what she wanted to do, half-expecting him to shoot her down. She wanted something bigger than New Dawn. While she will never forget her roots, her friends and family, being contained in an environment that didn't suit her just drove her mad. Maybe it was just a childish urge, a phase even, but her wanderlust nearly overwhelmed her. But, she had her doubts; the "little, poor" blind girl out on her own in the "big, bad" world? She knew he must have thought that, so it had been a shock to her when the alpha had given his approval. She continued to say where she wanted to go, and again came up short when he said that Jiva and Palaydrian had similar plans to Vinátta. It was as if luck was on her side for once.

The goodbyes were somewhat hard, but she brushed them off with a smile once they exited the borders. It felt strange, when she departed from the scent markers, it felt as if she was free from some hold that had been putting her down. If she had not reminded herself to pace her energy, she would have started to run about with exhilaration. She later glad she didn't spend her resources foolishly; after a couple of hours, she began to feel a little tiresome. But, her mind never did slow down--she kept imagining going to the grass-houses, the reaction Temeraire would make at her appearance. The latter was especially a good motivator to keep her going.

A familiar smell hit her, and her previously drooping tail began to wag furiously. "Uh-huh," she agreed, becoming more excited as Jiva made the call for a leader or something of the sort. She had begun to pick out her surroundings as the group settled a little, knowing that this was going to be her home, and she tried to file through all the scents that emanated from the markers. She could only sense the faintness of Temeraire, and a few others that kind of smelled like him, like relatives. Her thought process broke when the mention of water was spoken to her, and a wide grin went to her face. "Yeah, you bet!" She grasped the the waterskin as it was handed to her, and took a few gulps, barely caring as a few stray drops landed on her chest. After wolfishly drowning down the sips impatiently, she began to feel anxious again. "I just can't wait, Drin! It's so exciting."

Saul Lupus is by Alaine!

The hurricane had passed days ago, but it still felt as thought tension hung heavy in the air. The past few days had been split between clearing up Jordheim and the stables, caring for his children who he thought may have caught a cold and making sure Lilin wasn't over-stretching herself. The discovery of the Sacred Grove's destruction had fallen heavy on his mate and more so on their Aunt Miskunn. Thankfully there had been no injuries or fatalities in their experience with the hurricane and the majority of the buildings had remained strong. A few of the outer lying houses in Jordheim remained flooded and he knew he needed to sort these things out. There was a long list and Saul was forever grateful that he had helpers.


Temeraire had been a big help in the last week with hunting- he was getting good at it and Saul knew that he'd gone with Eclipse not long ago. It pleased him, to see his son involved in something that would benefit others. For a long time, Saul considered his son unaffected by those around him and it bothered him that there was little he could say to the boy to get him to realise that his life affected others too. It seemed he may have listened, or realised and the male was proud that his son was beginning to step up. The make-shift rake in his hands was being put to good use- scraping the debris and dirt away from what was once a path through Jordheim.


The howl, while not immediately familiar, struck a note with the male and for a moment he considered who it had come from. The tone didn't at first click, before an image of the pair from New Dawn came to his mind and he smiled. Jiva and Palaydrian. Propping his tool against the nearest building, Saul made a swift way towards the eastern borders. It was easier to run properly in his lupus form, but his optime form served him better so he remained upright and moved as quickly as he could. It took him a while to locate them, and when he did he paused. A trio of Luperci and he spotted a fox cub romping around. Jiva, Palaydrian... and? What brings you back to our borders? He questioned, both the identity of the third member and their reason for this visit.

Word Count :: 312 OOC: erf I had to write this 2 times because I made a boo boo lol.

Jiva was actually very nervous. He wasn’t sure how the leaders would take to the four of them and if they would allow them to join. He knew they would head out somewhere else if they were denied, but that would mean having to go through hostile territory also it meant spending a few nights out in territory where they could get attacked or lost easily, and with a kit who had wanderlust, being small and curious of course, Jiva didn’t like the idea of it all. He turned to give Drin a nervous smile as she spoke with Lena, who decided to join them. Jiva wasn’t sure what all went down, she just suddenly became their traveling companion. he didn’t mind it but she was blind and it was a disability he didn’t know how to react to.

He didn’t have much of a chance to put more thought into it as they were greeted by the same man who had greeted them only a few weeks, or was it months? ago. He smiled at Saul and gave the man a respective head nod; “Hello it is good to see you again Saul. I hate to give such short notice especially with the hurricane just passing and all, but we were all hoping that we could join your ranks. This here is Leaf” He pointed at the fox kit who was close by Drin now, then he pointed to Lena; “And Lena, and You met Palaydrian as well. We won’t be a burden at all. Me and Drin are fair hunters, and I am learned in healing.” He said then turned to Palaydrian and Lena to see if they had something they wanted to say as well. He didn’t want to do all the talking and he knew Drin would want to explain her expertise.

Meow:: Awesome! WC:: 5+


A toothy grin was spreading across Palaydrian’s face as she watched the dark woman greedily gulp down water from deer lake. So strange that she’d no longer be lounging on its shores on a lazy afternoon. Is it odd that I feel nervous even with all this company? She asked playfully, feeding off the excitement coming from her as Leaf continued his frenzied antics. I’ve only been to Vinatta once, but that was a few-- her voice cut off when a familiar voice cut into the conversation. Drin spun about to face the source and her smile beamed even brighter. Saul! It’s so good to see you! A welcome face after such an emotional journey. Her voice must’ve startled Leaf who immediately grew cautious and flattened himself in the grass like a fawn. It’s okay sweetheart, he’s a friend...see Daddy’s talking to him now, she cooed softly to the child while Jiva began introductions and gave their friend an explanation for their ragtag band.


The kit made an odd panicked purring noise, choosing to bury his head in his mother’s haunches, but the woman only giggled as she scooped him off the ground and stood up. You demean your skills Love, she affectionately chided Jiva. Though he believes he has much more to learn, she winked an eye at Saul, he has seen and mended his fair share of bumps, bruises, and wounds on none other than myself and a few of our...past packmates. It felt odd to refer to the New Dawn wolves as beings of the past, but if this was to be their new start, they needed to get used to it. I am confident in my hunting and tracking abilities, though my true passion is cultivating life through growth...plants, flowers, herbs, and vegetables. I’m knowledgeable in the uses of the plants I grow through experimentation and have become skilled in making infusions for teas and poultices...though Jiva does the applying. She smiled, a gloved hand caressing the bag holding the seeds from her garden around her neck. She sorely hoped to plant them again some day and see what the earth could give back.


Drin was sure her tool and vessel making through gourds would become discovered in time, but at the moment decided to remain mum about that. She was slightly embarrassed of her hobby as she had yet to meet another who utilized the all seasons plants as she did, but the work she had seen a carpenter do in Casa di Cavalieri seemed to echo that of hers. Leaf regarded Saul with wide eyes, the once brilliant blue now beginning to turn a light shade of green, or possibly gray. Her own bicolored eyes flitted towards Lena. This young lady was a helper within my garden, but I’m sure she’d want to speak for herself. The floor was now Lena’s, the beautiful youth who had so bravely come along with them for reasons of her own.

Lena skill set should have included bragging.


"Nah, it's okay to feel nervous, but don't worry! You got all three of us--especially me--here so it's all going to be okay," she stated matter-of-factly, glad to see her air of bravado was having an effect on the woman. While Lena did realize some of the importance of this, she did not pay keen attention to it. The girl listened, a bit more patiently, as Palaydrian had begun to say something about the pack, but before she could really get out what she was trying to say, they were approached by someone they knew that she did not.


This Saul guy didn't seem bad at first, at least he didn't smell funny, in the bad way. But, he did smell familiar, and awful so. Temeraire, she thought. Maybe it was one of close relatives--maybe even his dad? She didn't recall his name, even if the boy had mentioned it, but they scented so similar, she automatically assumed him to be his father. She waited quietly, though never the less impatient, as Drin and Jiva spoke for themselves, perking up her ears every time they mentioned her. The woman closed off with a statement that directed the attention to her, and she easily stepped up into the spotlight.

"I'm an outstanding hunter," she started of boldly, a wide grin accenting the less-than-humble words that tumbled out of her mouth. "I also can fight pretty good--I can take down at least someone two heads taller than me!" Okay, maybe that was true, maybe it wasn't--but her brother was well on his way to being three heads taller than her, and there was instances where she would almost beat him in their play fights. "I can sing, too. I am almost as good as my mother, and she's the best singer ever.

"And I can tell which plants are which--like, they may look similar to you, but I can tell that they're different by their smell." The girl motioned to Palaydrian, a gesture of thanks to the woman who taught her a lot of what she knew. She could have went on, but she decided that what she had listed was pretty amazing, especially the hunting and fighting part. She crossed her arms over her chest and fixed her blank gaze towards the direction of the man, the smile still playing on her maw.

yaaaaay!



Saul Lupus is by Alaine!

It was Jiva who took the lead and Saul turned to him, green eyes watching not only the pale male but his two female companions. The fox kit on the floor provided a distraction and for a moment Saul glanced down at him. It struck him then that Palaydrian did not carry pups with her, nor was she heavy with pregnancy. She'd been showing when Jiva and Drin had arrived at Vinátta's borders not long ago- his thoughts concluded that she must have miscarried or had a still-birth. Either option was heartbreaking and Saul felt his heart thump loudly in his chest. Turning back to Jiva as his words registered, Saul couldn't help the surprise. He'd assumed they'd been more than happy in New Dawn, but it appeared not.


After nodding softly, a non-verbal acceptance to them all that they weren't encroaching and it wasn't unsuitable, Saul turned to listen to the male once more as he revealed his and Drin's hunting abilities as well as his interest in healing. Saul smiled softly, knowing he had a bit of a soft spot for healer of all sorts. Palaydrian, on the other hand, was a lot more vocal than their last meeting and Saul couldn't help the grin as she admonished her mate and began to expand on what the male could do. Saul was impressed and was more than happy when she continued to explain about her own skill set. He thought immediately that the female would get on well with Anu, who had similar interests.


And finally it seemed 'Lena's' turn, as Jiva had introduced the female as. She launched straight in after Palaydrian's short introduction and Saul couldn't help a good-hearted chuckle. After a few seconds, Saul could see that the female was blind and this made her skills all the more impressive. He accepted all three with a gentle nod, before considering. You and your skills, all of you, are more than welcome in our lands. But what of the lands you've come from? What made you leave? He asked, curiosity colouring his words as he turned to Jiva first.

Word Count :: 341 OOC: Yeah Jiva took it hard when their goodbyes were mostly to Drin XDD

Jiva beamed with pride ad Palaydrian spoke of her love for plants and her skills. She really was a great hunter. He knew she was far better than he was. But he helped provide when he could. Then it was’ Lena’s turn as she boasted of her own skills and he rose his eyebrows in a sort of.... how can that happen without sight kind of way but he trusted her enough, she had been a part of their pack after all even though he barely had much interaction with her. He straightened up as Saul spoke and he grinned broadly at the acceptance

When it came time for the question of why leave... his smile left him. The man didn’t need most of the reasons, but Jiva wouldn’t lie to him and withholding things was not lying in Jiva’s eyes. “I really wasn’t born into a traditional pack, I was boring in Cour des Miracles and I feel that even though I love my anscestors way of living I also like.... how do you say, moving forward. Palaydrian has given that thought to me as well, and recently New Dawn is at a standstill as they are more traditional. It was why we hope to come here, for a bit more freedom to do and learn.” He said, there were some things Zalen would allow but the things Jiva wanted to learn and do went against most of the pack, he was strict on the only human habitate to be away from the den, and that it should be the only one. He stood waiting. Other reasons had arose but those were personal and he had not left New Dawn in a fashion that would ever endanger another pack. In fact they all had said goodbye..... mostly to Palaydrian which saddened the man as though he had not been a big part of the pack one bit, but he was no longer going to live there. He didn’t have to worry about those who didn’t care.

Meow:: My bad. WC:: 5+


A smile spread across her lips as she listened to Lena introduce and explain herself. The golden woman admired the spirit within the dark child and could see a lot of herself in the youth. Wide eyed and bushy tailed for the future, Lena was ready to take on the world despite her blindness which would be considered a handicap. It was brave hearts like hers that made the golden woman know their decision to leave New Dawn was the right choice. Her said skills would’ve been squandered there, the wild ways of their former pack deeming her lack of sight to make her an invalid and incapable of taking care of herself much less hunting of all things! The girl’s confession of singing took the woman by surprise. She hadn’t realized her friend Sky sang, but she too had taken up the hobby at a young age, though Jiva, Leaf, and Zalia had been her only audience so far. The thought was dismissed as Lena explained her own gift of herbology and credited Drin. A warm nod of approval and a soft laugh bubbled forth. She’s a quick learner that’s for sure, the golden lady responded, bending down to scoop up her son who had been playfully chewing on her tail.


Her eyes moved towards Saul once more as he addressed the group with a question. A fair query indeed as he had last met the lovers when they were simply emissaries from their former pack. Jiva took up the job of providing an answer. Palaydrian listened dutifully nodding here and there. Everything he said rang true and as she hugged the fox kit against her breast, she knew what she’d add. I love the brothers and sisters we’ve left behind in New Dawn, but we could not flourish there as a family anymore, she said looking down at the top of Leaf’s tawny head. As you can see, our son Leaf does not belong to our genus and would have never been able to be fully accepted in such a strictly traditional pack. We feared he’d be ostracized as he got older and we too would feel the brunt of discrimination for not only adopting him as our own, but for realizing how much we were limiting ourselves as a pack by stubbornly remaining on all fours instead of using our hands. She shook her head sadly at this, the way of the wolf was dying.


Before I came to these lands, I hailed from a pack echoing New Dawn’s culture and that was all I had known. Submission and closed minded thoughts. Jiva opened up my eyes to what the world of luperci had to offer and I’ve realized how much I’ve missed! The spark of wanting to break away from traditional norms was lit beneath me and I’ve...we’ve been chasing it together ever since. A lifetime ago she would have been happy in New Dawn, but once the chokehold of the ways of the old had began to loosen its grip, Palaydrian took off running as fast as she could. The fae wanted to learn everything she could and was making up for all the lost time.
