It is the Trees that Wail?(Open)

[Shadow]

Shadow looks at his surroundings; what he sees is not what a normal wolf would see. Shadow sees everything with two point of views: an optimistic view, and a realistic view. Shadow's body brushed against a willow as he travelled slowly through this land. The willow nearest to him was covered in slime and rut. Shadow, at first sees the tree as it would look in the spring: the leaves would sprout, the sunshine would create a beautiful display of patterned shadows, the animals would use it as a place of refuge. This view flees quickly as the realistic picture comes into view. Shadow sees the world, the way wolves and other animals alike have become so corrupt, similar in ways to the grime on the branches.


Shadow would have continued to inwardly battle himself for which view would remain dominant, but Shadow wasn't here to ponder philosophy. Shadow was here, looking for his siblings. Ever since the great windstorm separated Shadow from his family, he has been on a neverending search for what he hopes remains of his family. Shadow stopped his search breifly to claim the YumeHaru territory as his own. Shadow wanted nothing more than to start his pack with his siblings at his side, leading the world on a new track, one that leads to peace and light.

Shadow's realistic side knows however, that such a state is morally impossible in a world as corrupt as ours. Nonetheless, Shadow searches for his family, with the hidden wish of making his pack of one member thrive.

Perhaps what Shadow is looking for isn't merely his family; perhaps Shadow is searching any cure whatsoever for this loneliness he feels. Whatever the reason that Shadow is here, and not in the beautiful forest territory that is YumeHaru, doesn't matter. Shadow is here, and Shadow is real; this is the truth that Shadow knows.~

Shadow wanders for a while, searching under each willow he comes upon, hoping each time, that he finds his redemption. To no avail, Shadow continues this process for several hours before entering a small willow.

Shadow, from the inside of the willow creates a howl like no other. Its volume could have shaken any opponent, and its emotion cut like a knife. This cry of desparation yelled "I'm here" over and over again, as the willow's branches promulgated Shadow's sound.

After this explosion of sound, Shadow lies down and begins to rest. Shadow drifts off into a semi-sleep state, his dreams filled with memories of both joy and regret. 

Shadow's partial slumber is broken when he hears the crack of a branch. "Who's there?" Shadow asked, his mind and voice now clear. Shadow's eyes soften when a rabbit hops into the safety of the willow. The rabbit's eyes turn to Shadow, at first with fear, but then with unconcern as it realizes Shadow's sincere unconcern. "Now what brings a fellow like you all the way out here?" Shadow said, kindly, his voice not rising or falling. 

As the rabbit forrages for a moment or so, Shadow watches, not concerned with the fact that his stomach begged for the prey sitting before him. As the rabbit leaves the willow, Shadow rests his head on his paws. Soon..Soon.. Were Shadow's thoughts before falling into his dreams once again.

Walk Talk, Think

[Nyra]

 Nyra walked around, slightly limping in pain, thinking about earilier in the afternoon when she got attacked by a loner. She looked around, making sure there is no one here, thinks about saying here for the night. When Nyra layed down beside a willow, then she whimpered in pain and started to lick her injured paw. Ignoring the pain, she layed her head between her paws, watching her surroundings around her,slowly falling asleep. Nyra had sorrowful dreams of her past,as if it was a soundless movie. (sorry if it's small)

[Shadow]

Shadow rises from his resting place, quickly abrupting his dreams. He had heard a sound in the distance and he wanted to know what it was.

Shadow quickly and quietly exited the willow, he looked around him, the gloomy sky made it difficult to see. Nonetheless, Shadow strained enought to see another wolf in the distance.

"Could it be?"


Another wolf, finally. Shadow thought as he walked slowly and regally over towards the wolf. He noticed the wolf was sleeping. Perhaps, I should wait.. Shadow stood several feet away from the wolf, not wanting to awaken the wolf.

Shadow sat quietly, awaiting the wolf arousal. During this period of time, Shadow watched as the sky changed from grey to a light brown/orange color as the sun set behind the clouds. Shadow thought about Legacy, his youngest brother, whom he left behind.

Shadow desparately wanted to see his family again, and he wished that this wolf was a member of it, however, Shadow knew to deal with what the world dealt. Perhaps one day.

Walk, Talk,Think

[Nyra]

 As she slept she saw mermories of her and her foster mother together happily,then she saw her self surounded by wolves snarling, and growling at her. Nyra looked around in pain as she was walking,making a blood trail behind herself and the scene changed ,yet again. Surrounded by her old pack-mates she was happy again, as she remembered that they were dead, she saw all of them fall down one by one. She was mortified by all of her bloodied corpses of her old pack-mates.
 
 Nyra awoken from her dreams, pain greeting her quickly as she sat up,noticing a silloutte of a wolf right infront of her. She began to back away from him in slight fear, softly growling at him in fear ,also in pain. "What do you want from me"

She awaited for the wolf to attack her and probably kill her, or to answer her question.

[Shadow]

When the wolf stirs, Shadow looks upon her with a smile. As the wolf growls, Shadow notices that it isn't merely anger that is arising from her lungs; there is also pain in that growl as well. Shadow looks at the wolf. She does seem injured..Hmm..I suppose I should have stayed at a greater distance..

As Shadow begins to answer, he takes a step back, as not to moreso frighten the wolf.

"I'm sorry to have scared you, I was merely wandering here and I noticed you. My name is Shadow. I am the Alpha of the now one-member pack of YumeHaru. I see you are injured. Would you like some help with that?" Shadow says, notioning towards the wolf.

(OOC. I'm soooo sorry it took so long. I totally forgot that I even had a reply on this thread. I thought it was you who hadn't replied yet. Haha..Sorry it's so short after such a long wait, but..I'm in a hurry..so. that's also why I didn't use my homemade table. If I were to use it..I have to type it out. Sorry again!)

[Nyra]

Nyra watches him,slightly in fear of what of would happen then she realized he meant no harm to her, she stopped growling. "It's alright, anyways I should be the one who should appolgise for my rude behavior,My name is Nyra."  She slightly yelped in pain when she set her paw down,"Thank you for offering me some help, I would like some help, but is it going to bother you?" Nyra looked at him,with slightly coursity,wanting to know more about Shadow and who he truely is. Should I truely trust him, I don't know if I can, she watched him, still wondering and wondering about if she should've trusted him. 

(OCC It's alright, I don't really care if I have to wait)

[Shadow]

Hearing the wolf's calm reply, rather than a more agitated one, made Shadow feel happy that he hadn't frightened the wolf too much. 

Nyra..what an interesting name..

Shadow listens intently to Nyra as she asks for help in such a caring way. Shadow's heart is touched, and, this time, none of his usual pessimistic thoughts come to his head.

"Of course it's not goint to bother me, I'd be happy to help." Shadow says with a smile.

He looks around and sees a recently emptied pond, still housing mounds of algae and other water plant matter. Shadow walks over to the small dip in the earth and grabs a mouthful of the slowly-drying plants. He sets them next to Nyra and nudges the mound over to her. 

"Here, wrap this around your wound, when it dries completely, it should provide the support you need to walk. Although, it needs further healing, and I would wash off your leg after putting this on; I'm not sure of the sanitation of this place.. However, you need something to keep the injury from becoming to severe." Shadow says, basically quoting his younger sister.

Shadow awaits for a response, wondering if he should help the wolf wrap her own injury; he refrains from trying on his own, knowing that pain tolerance is something one must recieve permission to experiment with. If the fae wants help wrapping, Shadow would he ablidged to help, but not until asked.

[Nyra]

 Nyra looked at the mound of mud next to her, then she looked up to him, smiling, "Thank you for the help,Shadow.."  She looks back at the mound of mud then tried to wrap it around her paw,but lets out a small yelp. ah, I can't even wrap that on my paw... 

Looking at back at Shadow,sightly in pain, "Ah, may you please hep me with this,I'm sorry about asking for more help." As Nyra waited for his reply, still wondering about Shadow and why he would help her. I don't know why I'm trusting him...I just can't understand this..

[Shadow]

Seeing Nyra accept his offering of help makes Shadow glad he is here, it makes hiim feel as if he has a purpose other than searching for his family or starting his pack. Shadow watches as the smaller wolf tries to help herself; he watches as she suffers the type of pain Shadow knows all to well.

I suppose I should try to help her..

Then, when Nyra asks for help, Shadow doesn't have to try and convince this fae to allow him to help. He begins calmly speaking to Nyra, as to not make her feel like a burden.

"Of course I will help you. It is in no way a problem to me; besides, do you see anywhere else in this dark place that I could go?"

Shadow approaches the younger wolf slowly, and he begins to grab a semi-long piece of the algae matter. He hold the middle with his paw and he grabs either end with his mouth, creating a circle of sorts. Shadow drags the circle along the ground until it reaches Nyra's paw. He gently maneuvers the wrap underneath her paw, being careful not to move her leg to much; when the wrap is atop of the injury in question, Shadow speaks.

"This will most likely hurt a little bit, but it is necessary for your recovery."

Not allowing the fae any time to have second thoughts or to reply, Shadow holds one side down again with his paw before pulling the other side with his mouth, tightening the wrap.

Shadow backs up slowly, realizing that he has slightly infringed on the wolf's personal space.

"There, I hope that helps."
