The Lagoon

[Loup de la Soleil]

Neira looked up and smiled sadly at Dark. The pup was so optimistic, but Neira had to admit perhaps she could give Nova some credit.

'I'm just not sure at this point.... I'll wait and see if Thorn shows up again, I don't think I should give up just yet.'

She got up slowly and walked over to the others, sitting down again next to Nova. She sighed and licked his ears tenderly. 'I can't give up hope, but I can still look out for my friends....' She smiled more genuinely and lay her head against Nova, feeling his warm fur under her cheek.

Dark smiled and rested against Dream as she wagged her tail,she was in love with dream and wanted to be his mate when they became older.

Nova felt Neira's soft fur, he slowly looked up at the sky 'Nightmare why can't you come back now, just look at what your missing...' Nova thought of those times when he was the alpha male and had that one mate that he had loved ever since he was a puppy... he nuzzled more into Neira... he can't get to attatched to the female, 'I can't love her.... HE..... wouldn't approve of it.' he thought to himself..

Dream looked at nova and neira they would make a good couple, but dream knew why nova is acting like a friendly giant, he remembered in the pack that he was the leader type,'This is all an act... so that he can control...HIM..' he thought to himself... he felt fur nuzzle to him and it was dark.. he nuzzled back..

Neira felt Nova lean into her. The male seemed to relax into her side and she could feel the heat of his body warming her. She continued to rest her head against him as she pondered what she would do if he decided to make her his mate. She didn't especially want a relationship since they'd just met, but for the time being she just needed someone warm to be with. She lay down next to him, pushing her head into his soft belly fur and went to sleep.

Dark smiled at Dream. She understood why Nova wasnt going to fall for Neira. She knew neither of them would fall for eachother. 'Will Dream and i become mates,could we become alphas' She pondered,as she rested into Dreams side. She hoped they would. Dark had fallen for Dream like he wanted.

Kaiya smiled as she watched the couples nuzzling and couldn't help but feel calmed by their happiness and comfort. Turning her back she walked away from them, remaining close so if they called she would hear them. Se sat, her back to the others, the warm air curling around her. Kaiya breathed in deepy, taking in the scents of the wolves around her and the other scents of the plants and animals. Now that she was a safe distance away, she let her face fall and stared up into the blank sky, a sense of loss flooding her. Asher...are you and the little one's happy? Lowering her head she shuffled her paws at the ground, leaving light scratches in the dirt. With a sigh she layed down then, curling herself tightly into a ball, listening to the content sounds of the four others.

The darkness flowed into her subconcious dreaming and she whined softly in her sleep as the tendrils enveloped her as she tried to cry out, but to no avail. She struggled and snarled, but the cloudy film began to creap over her vision. She lay limp and gave in realizing it was the moon reminding her the toll it would take for using her powers to an excess. She wimpered and stared straight ahead of her, head against the ground. A tear spilled from her eye as she blinked. The darkness covered her vision and leeched hungrily at her sight.

As she opened her eyes this time she came out of the dream and her vacant eyes found the dark, blurred landscape of shifting shadows and spirits familiar as she accepted her punishment. The moon was satisfied with her sacrifice as she looked upon the white and black she-wolf laying down below on the cold, hard earth. You have done what was right and saved an innocent life, my daughter, so why do you dispair?

'I know not.... only that I shall never know the sweet pleasure of seeing those I love and their smiling faces ever again....'

The shadows swirled angrily around her and she realized the dark shapes of her friends laying next to her. A slightly smaller form lay off a short distance away. As she smelled the air she realized that it was Kaiya back rom her wanderings. Neira whined softly and slowly and carfully made her way over to the dark warm, dark shape. She sighed heavily as she flopped down next to her familiar friend. All colors seemed to have fled her world, all but for soft quivers of light at the center of the dark shapes she could feel were her friends. She wondered at this strange phenomenon as she drifted back into a light sleep which was the only place she was able to see color anymore, her mind's eye....

Nova slowly made his way to Dream, and gave Dream a playful nudge. With Dream, out balanced by the surprise, but quickly came back on his feet, gave Nova a little growl before he charged for the oversized wolf. although his efforts were valiant, Nova had no problem of dodging his every attacks, then gave Dream a quick smack at the head, his pressure wasn't ment to hurt the pup, only to put him on his back. Nova chuckles and says "is that all you got? I see you have been neglecting training... Tsk tsk tsk." Dream gave a pout at the very comment, "Hmph! oh yeah well bring it on old man." Dream gave a playful statement. They continued their play fighting.

Alcuin's tiny silvery-white form wound effortlessly between trees and around rocks in his path, displaying a fluid grace that no typical pup could hope to behold. His eyes, deep murky pools of violet, were attentive and keenly observant as they scanned the surrounding terrain. His caution, even though it was great, was masked entirely by a veil of awe-inspiring serenity; he was d'Angeline, and was trained to be poised as such.
Thus, he padded through the lush, green forests as if he'd done so a hundred times. One could easily mistake him as one of the pack's lifelong pups, and find themselves wondering how they never noticed the diamond-in-the-rough pup. It was a wonder nobody did notice him, with the Beta being his foster-father and all...
He accepted the solitude with grace. He didn't envy Anafiel, no, not at all. Rather, he pitied him sometimes. He hardly got a moment alone these days, and all kinds of tasteless femmes were vying for his attention... Alcuin considered himself lucky, somewhat, and these lonely walks had more or less become part of his daily routine.
The green of the forest quickly became lusher and brighter, and Alcuin caught the heavy scent of freshwater on the breeze. The calls of the birds became more varied, more exotic, and the pup knew he was making a transition of some sort.
So it was, and the forest spat him out into the clearing of the lagoon.
Alcuin's puppy eyes sparkled, and he gaped considerably as he took in the beauty of the area. He hadn't been here since spring had arrived, and the sight was breathtaking. Clear, blue water cascaded freely down rocky slopes, collecting in a pool so clean and fresh that he could see the colorful fish that lived therein. Smooth boulders were scattered this way and that, their surfaces luminous and beckoning. In all his travels with his dearest Anafiel, he'd never come across anything like this, and his little heart throbbed with the joy of his discovery.
In a way, he was so taken by the beauty of the lagoon that, as he bound up to the water's edge, he found himself staring into the water rather than diving in. To his glee, he caught the eye of a curious fish. It swam fearlessly toward him, its scales glimmering charmingly as the sun reflected off of them, and looked up at Alcuin wonderously from under the water. Alcuin smiled and gave a soft giggle, a sophisticated rather than childish sound, and the fish flicked his tailfin in joy of it.
Alcuin lay on his belly, staring down happily at the fish, rather oblivious to the rest of the world.

The soft earth gave way as thin lime green dyed bones pressed down into the ground. The weight of the creature was enough to leave markings on the dirt below his feet.
A long serpent like tail, black rings around the scaled muscle swished across the vibrant deep green grass. He could scent the water near by, his thirst would be quenched in moments and he quicken his bouncy trot towards the running stream.
His back feet looked the same as his front, the anatomy of the creature was that of a dog, obviously by the way his legs formed to his body. Around the elbow of his front legs, the lime green fur began and lead up to his shoulders. receding as it reached past the shoulder blades began soft velvet like skin until his rump was reached and scales began. The fur trailed up his neck before ending at his jaw line and horns. A skull for a face and a small glowing flame against his horn he felt the slope harden and drop as he walked.
Glancing he watched the earth become stone and lead to a cliff drop, water below him. Hissing softly he noticed a small white pup, shimmering against the green grass at the water line. Jumping to a ledge he grunted softly and jumped once more, half way down the cliff. The sound of bone clacking against claws echoed around the lagoon. The vibrant red from his ribcage was a bright contrast to his green fur.
Stepping across the brown-gray stone he rocked his shoulders as he walked to the edge of the stone and taking a short jump to the next one down.
The sound of scraping bone echoed as his front legs hit the wet stone and he slid slightly before catching himself.
The small flame flared as he caught himself and he turned to face the wolf pup. With a last launch he landed on a short ledge, leaning his neck down and letting a long lime green tongue lash out and lap up the water into his bone jaws. A small drop of green saliva dripped into the water and he lifted his head up, bone dripping with water.
