It's a new day [Tagged & Open]

[Deleted]

The cool air was rather refreshing on his dark colored coat. It made the male relax a bit and take time to just enjoy and be lazy. He had been on edge since him, Draga, and Webber had left their birth pack. They were finally free from them, but they had a way to go. Luz had been planning before they had left to start a new pack. A pack where they didn't have to deal with abuse or constant fighting. One where his Draga and Webber could live in peace and harmony. Snorting the stubbed tail, one eared, dark coated male stood from his spot. The sun was now up and it would soon be time to explore this territory. Turning his body he headed back towards where they had bedded down last night. Back to his brother and Webber, his brother's mate. Hopefully today would be promising and hopefully they could get to know more faces and even gain more friends. Loping easily the male moved easily through brush and slowed as he got closer.

"Draga, Webber, you two up?" his deep voice spoke curious if they were deciding to sleep in more.

The pink and green she-wolf walked with a bounce in her step to the Amoux Creek. Today was perfect!! The sky was blue, the creek was blue, the berries were blue, ..... Why, the only thing that wasn't blue was Spirit! She giggled at both the literal and comical meanings. Her coat was pink and green and her attitude, if you could put a color to it, was a bright yellow. Glowing with happiness, Spirit hopped to the riverside and began lapping the water. Peace enveloped her and the jitteriness in her legs calmed to a still, relaxed state. Spirit finished drinking and chose a close shady spot to watch the blue water trickle by. Before she knew it, Spirit had drifted into a comfortable sleep.

Webber's right ear twitched and her head rose from it's resting position, "I am awake. " she said simply in her quiet, almost monotone voice. Her eyes caught the light of the morning sun and with a small sigh, she stood herself up and stretched.

Glancing back at Draga, smiling for only a moment. She went to sit by her mate's brother. He had been the one big reason for her to leave their pack. She didn't really care about anything else, but she didn't want to deal with the pack's arguments and in-fighting if he wasn't going to be there to bring her a little happiness. "we have left now." she said, again addressing Luzaro, "What are your plans?"

[Deleted]

Draga drooled slightly onto the soft grass he had been laying in. He could vaguely hear Webber and Luzaro's voices which he knew meant he needed to wake up but he was very slow to do so. He slowly opened his green eyes and took his time standing up, stretching, and letting out a loud yawn. He padded slowly over to his brother and mate and licked Webber on the cheek affectionately. "Morning." he said, barely supressing a yawn. He sniffed the air and smelled a she-wolf and then his eyes beheld her. She as a bright pink color and looked fairly good natured. This mountain never ceased to amaze him as it was home to many different wolves who, to him, appeared exotic. That was what first drew him to Webber - her unique appearance. Of course it was only a matter of time before he took a liking to her and eventually fell in love. He was so glad she agreed to leave with him when he told her of Luzaro's plan to desert the pack in favor of starting a new one. He looked expectantly at Luzaro and sought direction from him, as he always did.

He took a seat with his back facing where the two were, letting them keep their privacy. His ears heard Webber's reply to him, but Luz remained in his spot. His eyes scanned the surrounding territory looking for potential danger or potential friendly wolves. He was still somewhat antsy, knowing his father and brother could be capable of tracking the three of them down and reprimanding them for leaving. Webber was soon seated beside him and questioned what their next move would be. He knew Draga knew of his plans before they had left, but he guessed he hadn't said anything to Webber. Before speaking his eyes landed on a female not that far off, snoozing in the shade. His eyes narrowed as he watched her. Though she didn't seem to be a threat, she could vary well be a threat. Draga soon greeted the both of them and Luz nodded in a silent greeting to his brother.

"Well my thoughts were to find a suitable territory and start a pack of our own one where we don't have to deal with the crap that we did from our birth pack. One we can be comfortable and happy in," he said in response to Webber's question.

He then stood, still eying the female in the distance and moved forward a few steps before barking, letting this female be aware of their presence, then waited. He was prepared to fight if she turned out to be a threat towards them.

[6dewdrops]

The bark frightened Spirit, but she did not jump. She pretended to be bored by the attempt at scaring her. Her peaceful sleep had been disturbed on this beautiful day and that perturbed her. Spirit rose slowly and stretched, her muscles crying out. Taking her time, Spirit stretched every muscle and limb while yawning. These wolves looked like they were conversing about something. She wanted to know what about, but she had been interrupted. "Stop all your yapping. I was sleeping. Don't you have any common courtesy?"

[Deleted]

She had already known about the plan to start a pack, though she would have followed Draga out of the packlands even if she hadn't been informed. What she was asking about was what he planned to do with the pack now that he was an alpha.

She didn't seem to react much to him plans, though inside she was glad to be following an alpha intent on going in another direction. Their previous pack was incredibly annoying to her, which is why she turned out the way she was- seemingly uncaring about anything.

The illusion was broken however, when Draga came up and greeted her with his usual level of affection. usually, within the ranks of their old pack, she would only smile briefly at him. But she was no longer forced to avoid causing more conflict and she licked him back. "It is a good morning."

Yes, even with the strange -and brightly colored wolf- nearby that may or may not be a threat to them. However, Luzaro was a strong wolf, and it was his ideas to form a new pack, so she would let him deal with it.

[Deleted]

Draga nodded at his brother's wise words. He was reminded again of how they had always watched out for each other back in their old lands. Draga was ready to start a new family with Webber and his brother and was glad to be part of this new pack. "I agree. Where should we look for land? I hear there are some open territories in the heathlands or even the meadows." Draga didn't know which territory would be best to settle in but he trusted that Luzaro would make the right choice.

He grinned and nuzzled Webber, simply happy to be by her side. He then looked over at the new female as his brother barked a greeting at her. Draga's dark red ears flattened as the pink female spoke to his brother disrespectfully. He stood up and bristled before barking "Hold on now, we were only letting you know we were here. What if we were a dangerous and unfriendly pack? You would have been torn to shreds for your disrespect! If anyone is without common courtesy, its you!" Draga growled, angered that his family was spoken to in such a manner. He looked back at Luzaro to see what sort of action, if any, should be taken against the female.

A silent figure had been watching the proceedings from the tall branch of a tree. This figure was called Cyrus, a lanky brute with bright red eyes. It seemed the makings of a new pack were in order down there and Cyrus briefly wondered what kind of pack it would be. The two large males below smelled slightly of evil but Cyrus was also pretty high up and the scent was faint. There were two females, one was clearly being courted by the big red wolf but the other pink one didn't seem to be a member of the group. The gray, tan, and black mottled wolf decided to have a closer look and slowly made his way out of the tree.

Once on solid ground, the wolf's ears swiveled forward as he heard a sharp yell from the big red wolf. He squinted his eyes and wondered what that was about but then saw the pink female must have spoken out of turn. Cyrus leisurely padded toward the small gathering and announced his presence. "Greetings fellow Amoux Creekers. Names Cyrus." The wolf stretched out his lanky body before looking back at the others with a bored expression.

ooc: Gonna go ahead and retag everyone just in case and also start posting out of order @kaori 6dewdrops

Luzaro stepped in front of Draga and stood tall before both the pink she wolf and the newly arrived brute. "My brother is overly protective of me I'm afraid. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Luzaro and these two-" He looked back at Draga and his mate "Are my packmates. Draga my brother and Webber his mate. We have come here seeking a peaceful place to live. I am aware that the creek isn't a pack territory but we are small and have chosen to make camp here at the very least. We stand for neither right or wrong and believe there to be balance in this land. We ally with the neutrals of the valley. If you both are neutral, we will accept you. If not, please leave this place." Luzaro stood proudly before the group of wolves and waited for an answer.

————————

Draga was taken aback when Luzaro stepped before him to address the other wolves. He only had the pack's best interests at heart. What if these two newcomers were dangerous? And Luzaro was just openly inviting them to join the newly formed pack? Draga felt this wasn't the wisest decision but he trusted his brother and tried to let it be. He stood silently next to Webber and said nothing, waiting to see if the other wolves were friendly. If they were not, Draga would be able to fight them.

Spirit

Spirit sat down and watched as a wolf popped out of the trees. She was surprised to see that a wolf was in the trees. Most wolves preferred the ground. Whatever,  not like she cared. The wolf she guessed was the leader spoke. So this was a pack meeting. Her "cool" act was thrown out the window. She jumped up and her tail began to wag at a frightening speed. "Why didn't you just say so?!" Spirit leaped over the creek to stand in front of the group. "I've been wanting to join a pack of neutral wolves, but was too lazy to go searching. This is perfect!" It hit her that they had no clue who she was. "How rude of me! I didn't introduce myself! I'm Spirit, named after my great-grandmother!" A smile stretched from one side of her face to the other as she energetically waited for their responses. 

[Deleted]

Webber thought she uderstood what was going on so far..but as usual, draga was quick to rise to his brother's aide. It wasn't needed however, she Luzaro stepped in and took charge as the alpha. She could also see thatDraga was confused, maybe a bit miffed about it too...but he still stood ready, ever vigilant for his brother. She decided to not interject her presence.

Instead she found a new use for herself, keeping a silent eye on the one that introduced himself as Cyrus. She watched him for his reaction to Luzaro asking them to leave Amoux Creek, knowing that it might not be a popular or accepted request- it was free land after all. Accessable to all wolves, or it was supposed to be.

[Juice]

Cyrus watched as the other wolf stepped up and spoke to both he and the pink female. These wolves were the same alliance as him and Cyrus considered joining their pack. It wasn't like he had anything going on at the moment and besides, maybe here he could gain the leadership rank he actually deserved. "Well I myself am neutral and I would gladly join up with yous. I have a lot of leadership qualities I can offer." Cyrus didn't care if he was boasting, it was true that he had impeccable instincts and was a good judge of character so why not let everyone know it?

A form stood waiting in the shadows and watching the events unfold before her. The ragtag bunch of wolves was being observed by cold, purple eyes and they liked what they saw. The form belonged to a female who was bright orange in color with purple stripes melting over her back. The she-wolf decided now was as good a time as any to emerge from the shadows as the bunch seemed to be forming a pack that was accepting new members.

Her gait was graceful and she walked with pride on long, slender legs. The wolf approached from the left side of the group so she was facing both parties. "So you're starting a pack of neutrals you say?" she said sweetly, coming closer but not too close. "If you don't find it too invasive, I am looking for a place to call home and I would like to join with you as well." The she wolf's eyes zeroed in on the large brute called Luzaro and she realized he must be the alpha. He looked a bit rough around the edges but that was no problem for her, she liked a wolf with a muddied past. "They call me Kivah." she said with a flick of her tail.

[Deleted]

Luzaro nodded and smiled at Spirit, impressed by her energy and bubbliness. She seemed like she'd be a good fit for the new pack he was forming for sure. "Hello Spirit, it is nice to meet you. I welcome you to the Rising Sol pack." The red and green wolf then turned his attention to the male wolf at this point and gave him a once over. He seemed strong and able and Luzaro would be happy to accept him as he still needed numbers for the pack if he were ever to claim a territory. "If you think you'll fit in with us, I will gladly welcome you to Rising Sol as well." Luzarao wagged his tail with pride, satisfied with his two new recruits. He then turned his eyes to a new wolf that had emerged from the shrubbery.

This she wolf was orange and purple in color - a very odd combination but then so was he. Luzaro had noted that many wolves in the valley were odd hues but he was not one to judge, only be curious. The female spoke well and seemed regal and polite, perhaps she would be the next addition to the rapidly growing Rising Sol pack. "Kivah it is good to meet you as well. Please join us of the Rising Sol so that we can become a family." Luzaro nodded at all three wolves then and saw a brightness in his future.

————————————

Draga smiled at the pink wolf's reaction. She seemed nice and friendly and he couldn't sense any danger when observing her so he figured she'd be a good fit for the pack. The brute seemed a little more tactless but harmless all the same. Draga was glad that his brother approved of these new wolves and was willing to accept them; he truly had a good heart. The red wolf leaned into his mate, happy to share this moment with her. The formation of the Rising Sol pack was coming along nicely but then an odd wolf appeared.

This female was orange and purple and her coloration reminded Draga strongly of something venomous and dangerous. His skin crawled at the sight of her and although he couldn't pinpoint why, he felt a very bad vibe from her. Draga sat back and listened while scrutinizing the wolf before him. Draga would have been more cautious in accepting new wolves but, then again, he was not the alpha and he trusted his brother's judgement. However, he did make a mental note to keep an eye on Kivah during the first few days with the pack.

ooc: WHOO and we now have the formation of Rising Sol!!! I can't actually claim territory until I've posted with Luzaro 25 times lol but we are now officially a pack. You guys are welcome to post in here but I have a plot planned with Juice where we're going to play out a romance between Luzaro and Kivah so I'm going to focus on that. I should get up to 25 posts pretty quickly with Luz if I'm roleplaying one on one so when that happens, I'll tag all you guys in a new thread so we can claim a territory :3 Keep a look out for that tag!~
