~Nothing but a whisper on the wind~
The sun beat down on Su'Tera den site. The wind whipping across the grass causing some of the grass to swirl about. The wind swirled through the different trees and their green leaves, creating a loud peaceful rustling that filled the den site. A few stray leaves broke from the trees and clattered across the mountain side and grass.
Within a small damp and dark cave a miserable feeling overcame the occupant. A young silvery fae was curled up in a tight furry ball, staring at the back wall of the tiny cavern a troubled look upon her darkish-brown muzzle. The packs had been at peace for so long, why did things have to start going wrong? She had only just been pronounced Alpha Fae and it started happening.
Wolves from all the packs had reported seeing 3 mysterious wolves in the territories. The one seen the most was pure black, with blue eyes. It was the one she had seen. The wolf had stared at her calmly made no move to attack or anything he just stood there then vanished in the blink of her own strange blue eyes.
She covered her muzzle with her dark-tipped tail and huffed sadly, then she found that body, when the leaders had all came together one of the others had disclosed that they had found a similar body outside the territories. The news had horrified the gray and silver wolf so much she had almost been unable to speak for the remainder of the time.
Silver sighed and stood up in her Alpha cavern and arched her back stretching out letting out a small yawn, maw parted widely showing her pointed fangs. She relieved herself from her stretch and kicked out a left hind-paw curling her toes on that paw, licked her jaws and stepped forward poking her face out of the den. She looked at the tree-trunk that leaned down against the side of the mountain and lead to the ground for the Elite cave was under hers.
Silver looked out into the empty den-site, 'Everyone must still be resting' she thought then she positioned herself on the stone ledge then leaping gracefully down, landing on her paws perfectly instead of walking down the tree trunk. The wind whipped through her fur as she stood there for a moment enjoying the wind across her body and face. She padded forward and laid down in the light green grass that was now swirling into her silver fur as she let out a sigh letting the sun beat down across her fur.

сяυz[ вяΓΈĸеи ]
It was early morning - though her eyesight was hazy at the time, she could see the sun peeking through the underbrush, shy. The sky was a mixture of brilliant colours, blue standing out the most. It was a sharp blue - not light and airy, like the sky she saw every day, but one that signalled daybreak, coming and going with a palette of others. Pinks and purples stroke across the sky, fading up to the stratosphere where they would rest until the sun came up. Crimsons of all kinds were shown for once a second in time, being the "true" colour of the sky, one that came and went as quickly as the others. Though beautiful, Cruz knew all-too-well that it didn't last forever. It never did.
That tended to depress her quite often, especially since she had to sleep in the same cave as those idiots. The Elites.
A hollow wind chilled her to the very core, and she awoke after a few minutes of clambering onto her comical paws. She felt as if she were to freeze over, the breeze swirling around her in such a manner that it almost taunted her. With an irritated snort, she lazily walked to the entrance of the cave, leaving behind her sleeping packmates. Nobody seemed to be around at the moment, so she slipped out.
She preferred being alone, since there was nobody around. The feeling of isolation was something she started to hate, but grow accustomed to and, eventually, enjoy. "Outsiders" like her had a tendency to be alone, one way or another - it didn't bother her any more, since she knew that it would be like that until the day she died. It was better to hear the sounds of other things rather than the sounds of things that annoyed you, anyhow. And her pack annoyed her quite a bit, with the irritating cries of the pups and the elder's complaints and the ringing, always ringing, howl of the overenthusiastic Elites...
She let out a halfhearted sigh, coming to a small little group of trees, hidden behind the underbrush, skirting the forest. It was known, at least, to her, to be her little contempation spot. Because of the way the birches were shaped, there was only one way to enter, one way to exit - Cruz could slump herself easily against one of the trees, her body resting against it for so long that it had worn. Her little thinking area, she mused, a little place where she could relax without the worries of life's conundrums. Nobody really talked to her, anyhow, so it was the perfect spot. She found it a long time ago, when she grew angry ofr the first time, sleeping there for a few nights...
Suddenly, she saw a silver-speckled figure in the distance. Silver. She could remember when she was roughly one and a half, around the time Silver was born. She always enjoyed the little bundle of fluff, being a small source of entertainment. The two had eventually gone apart, somehow, as Cruz always seemed to be behind her. Either because of her parents or just by sheer luck, Silver was appointed alpha faster than she could say "elk." Though being alive much longer than her, and having much more experience, Cruz had stayed at the level of Elite since Silver had been born. It always bothered her, that fact, but she supposed that sometimes things like that were inevitable.
As she ever-so-gracefully leaped down to the ground, Cruz chuckled a bit before wondering if the alpha even noticed her.
the words;; 602. the mood;; bemused. the notes;; first post! hoorah! :D [/size]

Silver
~Nothing but a whisper on the wind ~
Silver laid her head down on her paws and let out another soft sigh, it was a sigh of comfort. The grass felt softer than the cave she had just been in, and as an added bonus it was warmer. Her strange blue eyes wandered around the den-site, well the part that she could see. The mountain side to her back along with the many caverns holding her pack, all sleeping in peaceful bliss.
As she lay there alone, as always she began to ponder things, perhaps things that she shouldn't even try to think about, but would that stop her? Nope. She would never understand why she became Alpha so early, she felt hadn't even been able to be an elite for a year. She couldn't understand why she had been appointed Beta then slipped up to Alpha by fault her parents. Her parents had been beta, then they where promoted to Alphas when the old alphas died.
Silver had been proud of her parents, they had earned the title of beta for their hard work, she believed that they deserved to be alphas. But of course almost all pups thought that their parents should be Alphas regardless. Her parents though, a month after becoming alphas and appointing their only daughter Beta, vanished. No trace was found, not even a trace that they had left the cavern that they had slept in. There scent had disappeared and no one could find them.
It had been the same with all the other disappearances, no trace that the wolf had ever been there. And if their had been another wolf with the one who had vanished they wouldn't even remember the wolf who did vanish on some occasions. Silver had been moved up to alpha since she was beta and her parents where gone.
And now she was stuck in a predicament , yes another one. She had to choose a mate, the elders thought she was betraying traditions by not choosing one. Silver could hear them discussing about that when they thought she had her back turned. Silver didn't want to choose one because she HAD to, she wanted choose someone because she cared about them, they cared about her, and almost as important as the first to reasons; they cared about the pack.
But, alas, she had let her mind dwindle on things for to long and to hard and she felt the edges of a headache on the back of her mind. Silver rolled onto her side making a low huffing sound, and grumbled something low under her breath "A headache, already?" she said aggravated. Suddenly the wind brought a new scent that she had not noticed before, it was a wolf of her pack. She lifted her head and rolled onto her stomach and belly, stretching out her front paws in front of her as she raised her muzzle a bit the scent wafting past her nose.
Silver recognized the scent, it was so familiar, she prided herself in not forgetting names and scents. Though for once she couldn't place it so she sat there with an somewhat amused and annoyed expression.
notes;; HA HA YESSSS!! I got my muse back
zee words;; Dang it I'm not counting that >.>

Bumpkin left his mate sleeping and traveled outside the dark Beta cave. He saw his leader sitting in the green grass. She was complaining about a headache. Hey Silver! Did you say something bout a headache? The brown and black brute asked as he lay down in front of Silver. The sunlight beating down on his dark coat felt nice Bumpkin rolled over and allowed the sun to warm his cold belly. The sun felt nice. He was in the den way too long. Bumpkin was trying to show of as usual to his mate, jumping from rock to rock, and broke his leg by misjudging the distance. |

Silver
~Nothing but a whisper on the wind~
Silver put a paw on her head and huffed out another breath. Perhaps it was nothing but a memory? A scuffling sound echoed in her ears from the caves behind her. Perhaps some of the wolves where waking up? She yawned again then nearly yelped as her Beta Male leaped out next to her.
She leaned away from him with a shocked look on her face, then as he trotted around and plopped down in front of her she grumbled something crossly under her breath. She leaned back into her position from before and glared at him playfully, letting down her guard for a few being as he was a friend of hers and accepted her completely.
"Yes, and you aren't helping you puppy of a brute" she growled in a playful manner reaching out a paw and jabbing it at the dark-furred brute. Her tail swirled back and forth at the beginnings of a wag.

Awww comeaw'Bumpkin said in the country twang he always had with his usual big goofy grin on his face.You are no fun! Then his mood changed, the brute's muscles relaxed visibly and he let in a big breath taking in the scent of the land surrounding him. Then he let it all out in a relaxed sigh. The best cure for a headache is to just lay out in the sun and listen to the wind rustling through the leaves and the birds chirping. Imagine yourself near a pond and fish are splashing. Imagine serene, peace, and silence. That's how I get over my head aches, the brute suggested thoughtfully. Just then Cookie emerged from the dark den. She padded over to her mate and leader.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Silver! [/b] Cookie said with a sleepy smile. Bumpkin, why didn't you wake me up? The fae said teasingly as she gently put her nose to his mate's. Cookie plopped down next to her mate and yawned still groggy from last night's slumber. Is he telling you about his headache "medicine?" Take it from me, Silver, it really works.[/center] |

~Nothing but a whisper on the wind~
Silver narrowed her eyes still feeling playful, and pressed her paw onto his forehead giving him a playful shove and answering in a pup-like way "Am too.." she whined quietly; If any of the elders heard her acting like a pup they would have her skinned. She sighed along with Bumpkin and stretched out her front paws a little bit then heard another wolf coming her way. She turned her head to see Cookie trotting out of the beta den, she turned back to the brute and answered "It'll go away in a few, I'll just leave it be" she answered.
Hearing Cookie come closer she flicked her ears and looked up at the other fae and smiled"Good morning Cookie" she said with her ears perked up. Seeing Cookie great her mate then flop by him, made Silver flick her ears back for a second and wonder what it was like to have a mate, but she flicked her tail quickly ridding that thought from her mind. "Thank you Cookie, but as soon as the rest of the pack starts waking up, I won't have time to relax..." she answered.

Fine, Cookie sighed, but as soon as you have time you and I are going for a fae hunt, just me and you. It has been a while since you had any fun much less time to relax.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bumpkin, still on his back from being shoved, sat up and wagged his tail. Is there anything that needs to be done before the rest of the pack wakes up? Cookie was annoying the fluff outta me last night wondering if we were gonna do anything.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Was not! Cookie yelped. Then the fae Betta pounced her mate and bit his ear playfully.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey! OW! Cut it out the elders are gonna be mad if they see us acting like such pups! The fae did as she was told and mumbled something about never having any fun anymore. |

((Cookie, that post; Those are not paragraphs, each character has to have at least a paragraph before you start splitting it off like that)) Silver
~Nothing but a whisper on the wind~
Silver chuckled lightly, Cookie had no idea how those simple words were music to her tired ears. Silver flicked her ears back and tail wagging slightly. "You have no clue how much I'd like that." Turning to Bumpkin then looked around. "No I suppose not, I have been able to keep the pack under control for a while now, so today seems to be a day we can relax." she mused over the thought for a little while, pausing to watch a bird flutter by while Cookie and Bumpkin tussled.
"After at least to more pack members wake up, Bumpkin, you take them out on a hunt; only bring back small things like rabbits and ferrets and such, we need not bring back a deer until late night when all the pack is awake. Anyone else awake can eat the left overs of last nights kill." she said saying each word slowly enough that she could be understood so that her message did not become jumbled then motioned over to what was left of the deer carcass from last afternoon's hunt.

Cookie's ears perked up and her eyes brightened. I'm glad. It's about time you got away from the stress of the pack. The fae's tail started to wag in the memory of the good old days when the two girls would go out hunting for fun. They had so much fun and was happy that they get to do that again. And since today is a relaxing day, you need to loosen up, you seem really tense. Bumpkin perked is hears and nodded making a mental note of to just pick up small prey. Yes, Alpha. He said solemnly. He wasn't the best hunter, that was where his mate came in, but he is pretty decent. Bumpkin took all of his orders seriously and always did his best to follow them. Well, Cookie said with a smile on her muzzle, if Bumpkin is going to be out hunting what are we going to be doing? |

~Nothing but a whisper on the wind~
Silver smiled and nodded with a tired look. It was always that the pack needed something, and truthfully she wished she could have stayed an elite forever but, being as the fact that her parents where Alpha's had all but sealed her fate. Now that her parent's where gone she had to step up whether she wanted to or not. "I know, I know.." she said quietly and swiveled her ears to Bumpkin, who was obviously displeased.
"Hon, look, the pack is at a time for rest, I wish I didn't have to send you out on a hunt, so don't look at me like that please. You know what make it half a patrol and half a hunt alright?That way we can get that out of the way for the morning alright?" she asked with a soft smile. Then she turned to Cookie "We will be gaurding the pack camp." she said with a dismissed sigh.

Bumpkin was a little bit happier. He enjoyed patrols. Can do. He said in a little bit happier tone. Nothin' like catching two birds in one pounce. His tail wagged at the thought of coming across an intruding wolf. The thought of a small fight made him a little more excited. Cookie caught the mood he was in and told him to not get too hurt this trip. The healer is going to use all of his medicine just on you. The fae said teasingly mixed with worry. She didn't like it when he came back hurt. then she looked toward the Alpha. Sounds Good to me Silver, Cookie said happily. She liked talking to the pack and playing with the pups. Should we check on the Elders as well, to see if they need anything, along with Den-mothers and their pups? Cookie wondered what it would like to have pups. Bumpkin brought up the subject a couple times but she thought that they weren't ready yet. They had just been made Betas and she felt like she was too busy to even think about resting. She snapped back to reality and cleared those thoughts out of her head. I will just have to settle with playing with other wolves' pups for now or until we get settled. |

Fail post is fail Silver
~Nothing but a whisper on the wind~
Silver lifted a brow at the brute and scoffed,"Don't injure yourself alright? I don't like having to explain to the elders why I choose you as Beta every time you do something crazy" Then she turned to Cookie "No that's the student's job, but the Den-mothers probably wouldn't mind the assist." Silver trailed off and watched some more birds flutter by.

((It's not fail Star, just shorter than normal  ) Yea, yea, Bumpkin said dismissively and just simply tell them that you love me too much to kick me out. The brute was always messing around with Silver. To him, their title was just a name, he considered everyone equal unless, of course, someone stepped out of line. Very rarely did Bumpkin pull rank, though. Cookie was the same way, she doesn't really pull rank a whole lot and when she does, it is only because someone stepped out of line. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay! Cookie said happily as her tail wagged, I can't wait to see those little fluffballs! She glanced over to bumpkin who was still happy about brawling around and stuck her tongue out at Bumpkin and his little remark, You just better be happy the Elders like you some-what or else you would have been made an Elite by now. Shaman, luckily, always has a full supply of herbs and spices to use on your tail as well or else you would still have that broken leg. |

~Nothing but a whisper on the wind~
Silver huffed out a breath, "I don't like disrespecting them Bumpkin, I may have more power with my status, but I don't enjoy pulling rank and you know that." she explained quietly so as no one but the two before her could hear her words. Silver peered up the sky, watching a bird flutter by, what was it like to fly? What was it like not to have to worry about ranks and packs?
Hearing the midst of Cookie's conversation felt the need to cut in. "You do need to stop that, I swear to Paradise Bumpkin; I made you Beta because of strength among other things, what am I going to do if we are attacked and your wounded? We need ever member of this pack to survive." Silver fretted the stress was already hitting her this morning and she would probably be in a mood for the day, or maybe not, but if someone got her angry enough she might bite their ear off.
