For Mars

Mati led the llama slowly. The shaggy creature had been easily frightened after the confrontation at Tallermein's Cottage where he and his partner stayed. Francis followed though, trust placed back into the she-wolf after a few visits and a few hours spent recreating the bond that the AniWayan guardians had broken. She had taken him apples as well, bribes seemed to work the best, and now she felt as if there was a mutual trust between them.

They walked though the narrow streets of the village, the only sounds that of the wind and the birds that chose to make their nests in the gutters of the houses and the cracks in the walls. She sought out supplies, though not the ordinary things that still survived after the human's left. She looked for brushes, paint, or anything else that may aid her in picking up her art once more.

Since the war she had not been able to even look at a canvas or pick up a pencil. She felt a hole in her heart, without the creative outlet there was something missing. Francis was the perfect partner to help, his legs steady and hearty back able to carry anything she might find.

A sign hung lopsided from a hook that protruded from above the shops door. From down the street she read it was a bookstore, and Mati was sure it had been pillaged of its notable volumes. But perhaps there were still a few things left behind. Purple eyes sought the door and headed for it.

Baaaaaa the beast had baaed at it's master, a question of where Mars was going if he knew low speech, but he was too humanistic to know what the stupid animal wanted from him. Today he had taken only his son out, for the boy had been growing up, almost 5 months now, and he was going to go teach him about some things, including some things on the guitar, and maybe how to shift. For this reason he had reverted back to his secui form, where his tail curled over his back like his heritage had him doing for as long as he could remember. His white painted guitar had been hugging his back, him making sure that it did not fall over when he walked because of his uneven back. His son was following beside the male, the two walking in some silence because of the fact that Amon was unsure of if this was actually his father, or if it had been one of the other personalities that he had observed. Amon had been gathering information on his father since the two had met and Amon was the one who noticed the changes in the male, like their mother had noticed. Amon also had been hearing his father having arguments with himself, or with another person it seemed because there would be two different voices coming from his father. It was strange to the boy, and though he had not asked anyone about it, the moment he found out for sure that his father in insane, he would definitely ask what was going on.

Dad?the child asked the older male, his head cocking at the male whom was much taller than him. Yes, Amon? Mars responded to his son. What am I gonna look like when I shift? the boy asked his father, curious of the way he would look. I would assume that you'd look a bit like me, Amon. Maybe with longer hair or something though since I cut mine a lot. he spoke to his child, tilting his head back at the child as the boy wagged his curled tail. I hope I get to shift today, I dunno if I could wait another month to shift. I wanna be able to play the guitar like you, daddy. the boy spoke, excitement tracing his voice which made the older male chuckle at the child. Ya' know that it's gonna be hard to do at first right? You are gonna have to work really hard on learning to play, you know? he asked the child, a smile still on Mars' lips as he talked to his son. O'course I'll work hard! Amon responded before the boy stopped walking, and cocked his head at the sight he was seeing. What's that thing? Amon asked, pointing a paw at the llama that would be standing outside of a bookstore, a younger woman walking in.

Mars cocked his head along with his son. That's a Llama son. It's been some time since I've seen one of those. I've never seen that girl before either. he spoke to his son and then he continued to walk, and then he let out a barking sound from his maw, calling out to the woman. It was rare to see someone actually out in Piccolo Village, so Mars was curious as to whom this woman was. The sheep that had been following behind them had baaed again to them, and Amon looked back at the ram and yipped at him.

Smile i know rigghhhht?

Mati look through the window, the pane was cracked but held tough. She was staring though the grime when she heard a high yip. It was then that she felt the tug of the rope that connected she and the llama. The woman quickly turned to settle the startled creature. She spoke soothingly to it, hushed whispers and petted it's neck. Once he stopped attempting to back up and run she turned to look at two canines standing further down the street. The llama was quick to spook, but Mati hadn't known that he was that sensitive. Feeling slightly embarrassed she smiled at her own troubles and waved. Hello there. She called, then petted the beast again to keep him from being scared.

The woman had never seen these two Dreamer, nor the sheep that followed. One was young, and had many obvious traits that the larger male owned. A father and son she assumed, but did not express. With the llama settled the wolfess took a few steps closer to the pair. I'm Mati. She introduced with a smile.

They did not mean to startle the beast, but it would seem that the beast was not as used to wolves as Axel, or Vox was, and the dirt brown woman had come and consoled the llama. Mars looked down at his son, whom was almost as tall as he now. Be careful, it scares easy. They spit at ya when they get nervous, but they also kick, like horses, so definitely be careful Amon. the male spoke to the child, whom nodded his head and flanked towards the right of the woman, on the far side, away from the llama. Mars stopped in his large secui form in front of the woman, and he looked up at her as she had greeted them. He nodded his head in a silent greeting to her. She introduced herself shortly after. My name is Mars Russo. This is my son, Amon. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mati. he spoke to her, nodding his head again and wagging his curled tail lightly. He was part husky, so it was normal for his tail to be over his back in a curled position, and because of Amon's mixed ancestry, the child also had a curly tail, though his was only at the tip rather than the whole thing.

Never seen you 'round here, pretty lady. Why does no one else from this pack come here? Me and dad and mom and sister live here, why you think no one else does? the boy asked the other dreamer, wondering if she knew the reason why, but not expecting her to have an answer for him. Ignore him and his stupid questions, there's no need to answer them. Though, what are you doing here? Looking for something specific? the male asked her, cocking his head at the woman as the black sheep had finally come up to the group, and Axel approached the llama and went to touch noses with it, showing that the ram meant no harm to the llama. The ram let out a baa at the llama as well, trying to communicate with it, it seemed.

i think that was it!


She was grateful that the llama calmed when she prayed it would, adjusting to the other canine's presence with a few moments time. The two males approached, wisely giving the llama space. She turned her back to the creature, and gave the other Dreamer's a nod. It's nice to meet you. she spoke with a smile. Amon spoke, and gave the woman a bit of information that was new to her. Mati didn't know that there were pack members living in the village, thinking that all lived in the general vicinity of Haven Manor. His father commented on the youngster's question and she shook her head softly. It's okay, it's just that most of the pack lives together on the other side of the lake. But I agree, this is such a fun place to explore. She gave the youth a smile.

I'm an artist, I was hoping to find supplies or maybe a reference book or two. I was hoping to avoid going to Halifax. The fey confessed. She had been to the city many times, more then she could remember. But since the unrest that pack had experienced the Church woman wanted to stay close to home.

Word Count → 604 :: feels like forever since I've played Daisuke considering the mass amount of development he has gone through and since I've played all the characters that i have now. @.@'

Automatic, I imagine, I believe
Do you live, die, bleed, for the fantasy?

Mars was rather uncomfortable in his secui form, and he did think that it was time to switch forms, but the whole reason he was in his secui form in the first place was to show his son how to shift. The male also felt naked, for the woman would be able to see the many scars that littered his body, including the one on his back in the shape of a heart, and the ones on his arms and legs. The two on his face were the newest and most noticeable if only because they were on his face. The girl had explained to them that the pack mostly lived all together on the other side of the lake. Mars knew this, and Amon did know this, but Amon wanted to know why they all lived together in the Manor if it was so dangerous? Piccolo Village had heard nothing of the entire war as it was going on, the Aniwayans had gone straight for the manor, from the west, the river that bordered the lands. Piccolo had been tucked away, hidden by Rabbit Lake and it's majorly abandoned looking facade. Apparently it's safer to live here. We saw nothing of the war here. commented the elder of the two as he took a step back away from the female. Amon nodded his head.Yeah, but daddy needed to stay home, and make sure that the bad people didn't come in the shadows and take me and my sister and momma away while he was protecting the pack. If he would have left he would have risked our safety. the boy spoke to her, wanting to get a word in on the conversation. There's no place for children and women on a battlefield. No offense to you if you were involved. There's just more of a chance that they are to get captured, and from what I've observed, women and children were the ones whom were taken, were they not? asked Mars, looking up at the chocolate furred woman. He knew he was right in protecting his family, even if he was demoted for it. He sure did not act like he was demoted, if only because he found the leadership to be foolish for demoting him for protecting the village and his family. Considering that none of them were taken or harmed, he believed that he did a damn good job at doing so.


The girl then spoke of coming here to get a reference book and some other supplies. Mars knew the town pretty well, and her being an artist was a good thing because there were many things here for artists that he had found. He thought about what buildings would have paints, and canvas, and brushes. Mars pointed his nose toward the north. There's a few buildings over there that had some brushes and canvas in, I remember seeing, but I'm no painter, I only took the cloth that was in there so I could make clothing.. the male spoke, nodding his head lightly before he turned his massive head back over to woman. The library would be good place to get those books though. he spoke before he looked at his son. We'll postpone your shifting lessons until later, okay Amon? he asked his son and groaned. But why poppa? asked the child. Because we are gonna help Mati here with finding those things she needs. he explained. The mismatched gaze of the child looked up at Mati. When did you learn to shift, miss Mati? asked the child.

Mati listened intently, at first. Eyes moved from the dual hued male to his offspring. She hadn't personally known all of the Dreamers that marched off the to the war front. There were some that had indeed stayed behind, to watch over their home land while the majority had gone to fight, Mati included. The bronze woman cocked her head slightly as she thought about the adult's statement. She could not agree with pups and females fighting in a war. She wouldn't want her mate fighting, nor her children if she had any.


But Mati had gone, in defense of her home, her pack and to retrieve her mate and avenge the imprisonment of her mother. Yes, my mother was taken defending our Consul. And my mate was stolen while she went to care for the llamas. It was hard for her to speak of, the wounds were fresh. Had it all been their fault? Had Cambria been taken because she lived among the pack, beside not just her wife but her mother and brothers and the pack as a whole? She was unsure what the male was implying. Another was captured trying to save them. But they were all safe now. The whole pack. She was proud to be part of the defense, even it if the majority of her tasks had simply been paroling and keeping watch.


If the pair had a lesson she did not wish to interrupt them. But it was nice of Mars to want to help her. I wouldn't want to disrupt your whole day. She said shaking her head lightly. I was about your age, but not so eager to learn like you. Mati hadn't been brave, she hadn't wanted the change and commended the young male for looking forward to it. But, then I found out I could paint with my new hands. What are you looking forward to doing, after you shift?
