Cheza gave him a strange look, blinking twice and turning an ear to the side. "I agree... That's why I suggested the huts for shelter, where the rest of the pack probably is right now. That's where we were invited to stay anyway. You know that, right?" She was most likely misheard the first time.

That or Leo was only being Leo.

She would never know how Coventina and the rest of her pack could stay in the caves. They were much too cool and damp for her. Then again, they were the water pack and she was part of the fire pack.

Cheza combed her fingers through her damp hair. If anyone were to touch her then, they'd notice that her body was...a bit hot to the touch. It was as if the wolf had an inner flame she was using to warm herself up. She didn't remember it raining this much in the fire pack's territory... "You don't think the huts leak, do you?"

Coventina jumped hearing a woman's voice and looked back, seeing Morgana emerging from the darkness. The woman was quite good at doing that kind of creepy stuff. They had found the girl abandonded and nearly dead. Being the person she was, Coventina had adopted her into the clan, and accepted the uniquely talented wolf into their mists. Though no one ever seemed to see her powers, they knew she was strong, and that she had done more then enough to help the clan on keeping eyes on intruders and other clans with her swiftness and ability to blend into everything. Smiling up at the pale woman, Coventina chuckled softly. "Morgana, I am alright out here in the night. Its not like I'm a little pup that can't protect myself." she joked lightly and looked around her at all the food she had made around her. "What keeps you up?" she asked lightly.

Pathose stood in the darkness, his form cloaked in darkness with his small group of himself and one other. Looking at the acomplis, he smirked, the water not hitting them since they were engulfed in dry darkness of the Alpha of Vengence's powers. His cigerette in his mouth wasn't lit, not yet. Usually it symbolized his mood of anger or egerness. The young red head looked calm for once, though calm was only what the pack of Vengence saw. Anyone else would see the twisted smile on his paler features, and see his demented eyes of black and red, with blood lust in his eyes and turn tail the other way. "Morgana will give us the signal when she is ready for this meeting. Once we stratagize our first kidnapping of the water alpha, things will crumble." he said in his sickly sweet and silky voice. The plan was perfect. They had attacked the water pack twice because Coventina was beloved by all of the alphas. She was like a sister to Navi, a mother to Jazereth, and nearly a lover of Noctis. He was pulling on the heart strings by attacking the female, and that's what he wanted. He wanted them to become inraged, and in their anger he would snag them in their blind stupidity. Once he had them all together he would then make them all watch as he killed that little water bitch. It was her father who sent so many of the water weilders to freeze his people to death, and he had killed the previous water alpha. He wanted all of the family dead, and with Coventina's brothers now dead from the attacks, it would be simple. He would torture those secrets out of each and every alpha, and then he would combine all of the tribes and take over all the wolf areas. They would fear him, because he would kill all those who are weak. Smirking at the thought of this the alpha flashed his teeth to his help.

(should I make Syndarion regonize the voice?)

((I don't think that Pathose is close enough to be heard. :sweat:))

As Pathose flashed an evil smile, his companion returned a brief flicker of eagerness. They'd waited for so long. The blue eyes that observed the other packs from their safe globe of darkness were observant. "It will be simple." With that, the figure (who was slightly shorter than Pathose, though that could have been the slouched shoulders) stepped away from the alpha of Vengeance.
"I should go." The signal would be soon. Once the plan was made, they would strike . . . and everyone would play right into their plans.

Username: Esmme
Name: Landon
Rank: Commoner
Abilities: He doesn't appear to have abilities or powers.
Appearance:
Landon.
Wolf.
Bio: He was found by the Fire clan as a young pup, and has stuck around ever since. He talks very little, and he seems to have this inbred sense of innocence that most younglings lose as they grow older. Landon doesn't seem upset very often, and he rarely appears to be riled emotionally.

A sweet wolf commoner who wants nothing more than to sleep and watch the others go about his business, Landon is the one you would go to for a good listening. He will listen to your sorrows, dreams, complaints - and he doesn't tell anyone else about them. He's just that easy-going sort of person.

Noctis narrowed his eyes. "Then why should we help you? You seem satisfied with your place in all of this." Finally, he was calming down just enough to be civil. Or, relatively. Exhaustion was tempering his usual ferocity. The Earth alpha raked a hand through his navy hair. "The other packs have welcomed you. I hear the rumors already." He shook his head. "If we must work together, then so be it. But I'm not going to usher you into my tribe with open arms, Syndarion."

With that, the male promptly turned his back and started for the gate once more. "I need rest. Go do whatever it is you do without an audience." Noctis lost his patience again, and this time he wasn't willing to sit around and talk.
-

Landon yawned, looking up at the rain that still fell. It struck his face, leaving behind small, cold little trails that tickled over his cheeks and made his dark hair cling to his brow. He sat with his knees pulled to his chest, his pale shirt soaked through even though he'd just come up the beach to join his pack. The other Fire clan members were looking miserable in the cool drizzle, but Landon didn't seem to mind.

The youth eyed Cheza and Leo with a slight smile as they spoke. Landon had always enjoyed listening to others. It seemed his specialty. With a quiet yawn, his gaze flickered back out to the rain-struck sand before him.

(i Meant Morgana, but I can fix that(

"Thank you. Atleast we can talk, with one of us with a Dagger to each-other's throat "he said, then walked. He was planning to tell Coventina what he had told Noctis, but then his eye's grew wide. He saw a Wolf near her that he was SURE was supposed to be dead. He approached increduosly. "Morgana?....Is that really you?"

Smirking Pathose nodded. "Of course, be ready at all times." he said and watched as the darkness engulfed his companion and teleported him back to the place in which he had come from. The Alpha smirked in the darkness, as it whispered to him, and he soon saw threw the darkness that always lingered on his helpers what they were seeing. Looking at Syndarion from a view his smile twisted into an even more sickening look. "What luck, the brother hood lived." he growled and barked out a sinister laugh, though nothing was heard from the outside world, his darkness was too thick to reveal anything. "We can bring him into this too... He is alpha, and he abandened us... I will make him pay." the male growled and lit his cigerette. Things were going to be perfect.

Coventina looked up rather surprised and anooyed that Syndarion seemed to pop up whenever she actually just wanted to be alone with her pack. She was an Alpha nd so was he, but this man had no sense of care or respect for her and her clan, which made her dislike him. And there were very few people in the world that she disliked. Looking up to Morgana Coventina raised an eyebrow at Syndarion. "I wouldn't think you would know eachother. Morgana has been with us ever since I took control of the water tribe... Maybe she looks like a Morgana you used to know?" the alpha female offered and stood from her creations of good food. It was extremely late at night and her patience was growing thinner by the minute. She needed rest now that she had done something good for her tribe.

Savannah stayed in her place as Noctis passed. She wanted to be sure this dark brotherhood wolf was not going to attack her alpha while his back was turned. Luckily he ran off, as did Noctis. Leaving Savannah standing there alone. She turned and walked back threw the gate. The area had turned into a small festive. There were foods, dancing, but it was quiet for the most part. Many of the villagers were already sleeping from their hard days work.

She paused and looked over everything. Releasing the golems she had under her control. Walking towards the crowd, she danced for a bit, ate some of the food before finally heading to her little home. It was a one room house, with a wall to block bed from view when someone walked into the front door. There was a fire place, a small table for eating, and foods stored ahead of time. Some spices were hanging from the ceiling. All in all the place was very cozy.

-----

Leonardo's eyes got very wide as Cheza mentioned the huts. "You-you mean Leonardo does not have to live in a cave?! Oh Joy!!" Leonardo poped up from his place in the sand. Turning to walk towards the huts with Cheza to his side. He was looking over them. Seeing they were quite large. They could hold several fire tribe families in each. "They probably do leak. Leonardo thinks that is why the water tribe lives in caves." he said with a smile. Leonardo opened one of the door's to the caves. Holding it open for Cheza, and walking in behind her. He brushed by her a bit. Feeling how hot her skin was to touch. Even a bit too warm for one of the fire tribe.

"Is the undertaker feeling alright?" Leonardo asked, shutting the door and locking in the warmth. Inside there were probably about fifty people inside. And still with much room to spare. In the center there was a large burning fire to keep everyone warm.

Morgana shook her head. "Miss, you and I both know that Noctis can't always protect you. I have a request. Please let me accompanie you wherever you go. Except when you visit Noctis. We need you and itd be a real shame if you're attacked while you're alone. Even you should know that I always roam about at night. That's an unnecessary question." Bending down, she plucked an apple from one of the baskets at Coventina's side. Such beauty in Coventina's eyes in this one fruit. In Morgana's eyes, it was revolting. Looking up, she heard a Syndarion call to her. "I am sure we have never met. Alpha, why don't you go back to the cave and get some rest? We both know you need it."

Jazereth nodded at Oberon's words. He had a way to say the things that she had been to naive to even think about. If anyone diservered to be an alpha it was Oberon. But fate hadn't been very kind to him unfortunatly. Standing, Jazereth peered down at him. "I'd like you to visit with my under study, I think you'd make a good impression. The world needs more people like you. For now I must bid you good bye. It was nice meeting with you. I hope I'll see you soon. Come and visit some time!" Walking away towards her pack, Jazereth thought,'Maybe the water clan isnt too shabby after all. Though they do have some characters. Coventina better not f*ck with her clan. They're good people.'

"I'd take me Year's to forget that voice, and Even longer to forget that scent. "Syndarion said, Conviction, and suprise in his voice. "Morgana.....what in the hell happended to you? I thought you'd dead long ago, during the time before we reached safty. "He said, staring at her.

"Don't worry miss, I'll handle him. Go ahead. I'll soon follow don't worry." Turning back to Syndarion, she kept eye contact while she moved away from her alpha. When she was safely out of Coventina's hearing, Morgana confronted Syndarion. "Syndarion. Our people are safe and in my care. We were split away from the rest, but we have perserveared." Touching her brow, Morgana thought to Pathose,'What should I do with Syndarion? He is becoming bothersome.'

"then come with us "He said. "I have kept what survivor's Alive, that our foolish Alpha nearly killed. Their hiding out in the Hall of the Ancient's. we've been keeping a Low profile for year's now. "He said. "Are you the only one? Where are the rest, and how did you get by? "he said.

((Poor Syndarion xD))

Cheza sat down at the edge of the hut and leaned against the wall, welcoming the pleasant, drying warmth from the fire. The other wolves around them were all too wrapped up in their own conversations to notice any additions to the shelter. There were a few glances - "Oh, two more." - and they were once against lost in the babble of voices.

Cheza stretched her legs out towards the flames and patted the ground next to her, inviting Leonardo to sit down. She gave a long sigh. "Well, I wouldn't say it's nothing but happiness and sunshine. It's a lot of work and I haven't had as much time as usual to train with the army...which you've probably noticed by now. Still, the work's rewarding and I'm catching on fast. Jazereth is a good teacher."

Coventina nodded to Morgana and smiled. She was right. She needed sleep. And having a woman like her accompanying her would be good. Sky wasn't exactly the most calming character to have around, and he needed to keep up with his warrior duties. "I would appreciate your company emensly Morgana, thank you." she said and stood slowly. "Good night Syndarion, Morgana." she said lightly and walked into the caves deeply. Once she reached her cave, she gasped seeing Sky awake, his gaze straight and intense. "Sky... I just had to clear my head... I'm sorry I left." she said and then shivered as he wrapped his arms around her and bit her neck softly. "Please... I just need sleep..." she whispered and and curled up against his warm body as she was carried to her bed. When he laid down with her she could feel his muscles against her, through her thin dress. It made her shiver thinking about Noctis's before falling asleep.

Pathose grinned hearing Morgana's question. "Tell him that we can't combine. Not yet. Tell him that we are just getting over sickness, and that the journey would kill the young ones. Keep him from trying to come find us.. Tell him that your alpha will find him when the time is right." he said in her mind and chuckled. "Then when the darkness surrounds you my beautiful seductress, I will bring you into my arms... It's been so long my mate." he breathed, blowing a smoke ring.

((Aaaaand ready for a new day? Almost, anyway?))

Morgana replied to Syndarion,"We can't combine. Not yet. We're just getting over sickness and the journey would kill the young ones. My alpha will find you when the time is right. Dont worry. Putting a hand on his shoulder, Morgana's facial expression was a mix of sympathy and sadness. To top it off, she said,"I wish things were the way they were before." Walking away, Morgana smiled. Acting was easy. And what she just did put the icing on the cake. Syndarion would definatley play into their hands. Blending into the darkness of night, she thought,'Just wait my dear alpha. We shall be together soon.'

((bring on the day peeps, Rose forgot to say that!))

Coventina awoke and with Sky by her side, went to the cave entrance and saw her people around the fire on the sand, happily eating all the fruit and pastries she had created. She walked around, looking at them talking with her tribe. They all looked happy and glad to see her around once more, mingling and talking. Her wounds were healed finally, and she was walking around to those who had gotten injured and invoked the healing magic of her water bending skills that helped sooth them in their pain. Looking at Oberon as she walked up to him she smiled and squatted infront of him. "would you like some healing?" she asked softly smiling at the weather weilder. He had come a long way with his powers even if he had more to learn about his powers. He was the decendent of the weather power blood line in the water clan.

Sky watched as he sat with the warriors as Coventina went around talking to everyone as she did before. He then chuckled hearing the men happy seeing their beautiful Alpha interacting with the pack once again. Seeing her eyes so alight with life once again, Sky smiled softly and chuckled hearing one of the young ones. "SKy are you gonna mate witht he alpha?" he asked curiously and the others smiled. "I hope so. I hope she chooses me." he said and they all joked around with him about him being the alpha's mate. He really did love being a warrior in his pack. The water pack was were all the fun was at. They could bounce back from everything.

((*sigh* rose? Are you going to post for Ketaro soon?))

(I'm sorry! I'm trying to figure out a good time to butt in with Ketaro.)

(( :cry: ok.))

Seeing Sky and Coventina rejoin the Water pack, Landon slowly smiled. His blue eyes fixated on the beautiful alpha for a few moments before his smile grew even wider. He'd heard the child's comment, and listening to Sky made him nearly laugh. Landon tossed dark hair from his face before looking to his alpha.

The Fire leader sat a ways off. Landon watched her for a few moments before lowering his gaze. The scrapper yawned quietly and listened to Coventina as she spoke with Oberon.
-

Noctis stared up at the stone-like ceiling of his temporary home. The male growled to himself. He wanted to go visit Coventina, but he knew that his pack would require his attention. He was alpha, after all. It was time to continue acting like one before someone ousted him from his position.

When the navy-haired male finally rose, lingering near the fire that the cooks had made up, Noctis' gaze was full of begrudging patience. That "patience" was easily frayed, and was hardly keeping its place in his mind. Noctis glanced at Demicora, and then to where he knew Savannah to be. Why did it feel like he was surrounded by difficult women?

He spent the most of his morning making sure that his pack was set, and that they would build up better rock walls to keep them from being flooded out or soaked by the sudden rains that came with being so darned close to the Water pack's territory. It was duty that kept Noctis in the encampment - and it was duty that made the alpha antsy.

Jazereth yawned and stretched her limbs lazily. She had arrived just time for her to crash on her bed. 'Today is a new day. Let's start it off with a bang shall we? I should first inform my warriors an update on what has been happening. Then I have to talk to Cheza.',she thought tiredly. Rising from her bed, Jazereth shuffled over to the door of her new home. It was going to be a long day. Straightening her hair, slapping her face, raising her shoulders and slipping on some hunting clothes, she was ready to start the day. Jazereth's hunting outfit was made by one of the women from her pack that respected her greatly. The loose shirt was made of the finest cotten available. And the leather pants felt like water running down her legs. It fit perfectly and she was greatful. Opening the door, Jazereth squinted at the bright rays of the sun. Stepping out of her temporary home, she walked purposefully to the center of the encampment. The cooks were already rushing around preparing for the hungry people about to arise. It was before dawn, and yet they were skuttling around bussily. Smiling slightly, Jazereth waved at the head chef who was hurrying towards her. Accepting the pack from the cook greatfully, she waved once more a goodbye. Walking along the seashore, Jazereth sucked in the freshness of the air. It was very different from her territory, but it still smelt like home. After trecking for awhile, she came upon the woods. Smiling a toothy smile, she headed into the vegetation hurridly. It WAS home. It had been where she had grown up. Stealing from the packs when there wasn't enough to get by in the winter. Holding out her arms, Jazereth's fingers traced the bark of the trees when she walked by. Finding a tree with a small cavity, she stuck her pack into it for safe keeping. A deer ran past. Laughing, Jazereth ran after, knowing that the doe would have to stop to rest some time.

Ketaro was completely out of breath. He had to stop to get some rest. Slowing, he said to Gemini,"I have to rest for now. How 'bout we stop here for now? We can hunt once I catch my breath. Though we still have a ways to go. I can't believe it's been a day and we still haven't made it. The clans are farther apart than I thought!" Stopping, he slinked over to to a tree's shade. Plunking down, he drew a dagger from his boot and cut a away at the vegetation nearest to him. Gathering them in verious piles, Ketaro began to cut the leaves of and split them stems. Once a handful had gone through this process, he shoved some into his mouth. Chewing for a couple of minutes and then spit them out. "Want some? If you chew these plants they will replenish some of your energy."

Syndarion walked up to Coventina, his face tired, but peaceful. "Excuse me, Lady Coventina, But May I speak with you for a Few moments? I want to talk to you about the Security measure's my Tribe's placed. I want to make sure that you are as Comfurtable as possible with them around "He said.

Gemini slowed and stopped along with Ketaro, even though she wasn't really tired yet.she knew this huge energy wouldn't last, so she rested.sitting down next to her mentor, Gemini took some of the leaves he offered."I've heard of plants like this.they taste better with buttercup petals, though." She said, picking one of the little yellow flowers.she gently plucked a petal from it, and showed him the green bit on the narrow tip of it."you bite that part, the green bit, and a sweet taste comes out.it's good." She told him.
((This is actually true.I love biting buttercup petals, they taste so sweet! You should try it.^_^))

Oberon looked up as the Alpha walked up to him. The weather wielder had been sitting around with a few of the other warriors. He had not slept well at all last night. Deciding to take up the night watch rather than sleep. He was exhausted now. He looked to his Alpha, a smile crossed his face. He was glad to see her mingling with her people. "Yes.. I think I would like some now." Oberon admitted, standing slowly and very stiffly. Another person walked up to her. Requesting her presence. A sigh escaped his lips. "I'll head into the cave. You know where I will be my lady." Oberon said. He went to bow, but was not able to finish it before walking off. Passing Sky along the way. "I don't like that guy." He whispered. Setting a hand on the man's shoulder. Oberon suddenly felt his world go dark as he collapsed into the sand.

------

Savannah awoke very early that morning. Right as the sun was coming up, Savannah was working by the scrapper households. Helping them to build more homes. It did not take very long though. A new day brought on a new wave of energy. Although her body was completely warn out. Understandably from the past few days. Luckily today would be mostly a day of rest. She thought about maybe going down to the sea, but thought better. Instead she headed for the bath house. Which for the time being was unisex. At least until another could be built. She headed inside, taking a dip in the steaming water which relaxed her muscles.
