YOUNG ADULT • FEMALE • CHAOTIC GOOD • PACKLESS • NO POWER

A plain. A grassy plain. A grassy, ordinary plain. Small buds on thin stems dotted the area, both clumped in groups and growing apart. How peaceful. How calm. How serene, tranquil, quiet. How amazingly boring.

"Gahh." The high-pitched voice of a young, female wolf drifted in the air, addressed towards nobody in particular. Not that anyone was in the immediate vicinity to answer. The she-wolf's tail, combined with dark shades of purple and specks of light like mini stars, swished on top of the long grass, disturbing small insects and sending them scattering. "Gahh." she repeated, annoyed that nobody was near to listen to her complain. She rolled onto her back and dangled her paws in the air, blocking some of the dying sunlight out of her violaceous optics.

It was almost sunset, and wisps of color were filtering into the sky as clouds dwindled in size and dispersed. As a lover of the night, celestial objects, and all pertaining to them, Astral was here to see the rumored spectacular light show of lunar flowers for herself. Unfortunately, it seemed that she came a little too early, and now she was stuck with nothing to do and no way to entertain herself. If only someone, anyone else was here to see the sight as well. Then she would have company, whether the other wolf liked it or not. She pulled back her lips as she grinned at the thought, already formulating plans of surprise attacks and romping. Not that anyone was here who she could administer her mischievous plots on.

A lavender colored wolf with gray eyes trotted into the meadow, her soft fur blowing in the turbulent breeze. The she-wolf enjoyed the autumn months as the colors of the leaves began to change and the air became crisp and cool. In fact, she was on her way now to the famed Lunar Meadow that always seemed to bloom as the sun set. The mountain truly was a magical place and this was one of the few places that Lilac had yet to visit. She had heard rumors of it from other loners on the mountain and it sounded like her kind of place. Lilac had always enjoyed flowers and she found she was excited to see the bloom. The sun would set very soon and she didn't want to miss it.

Lilac picked up the pace and came into the middle of the meadow. She smelled another wolf there and saw one lying down in the grass, seemingly making huffing, annoyed sounds. Always happy for some company, Lilac called a friendly "Hello." while wagging her tail. Lilac wondered if the other wolf was here to see the beautiful flowers as well, but perhaps that was a silly thought seeing as almost all the wolves who traveled here were seeking the beautiful blooming flowers.

Sprout could remember most of her mothers stories about Lunar Meadow. She had always wanted to see this magical place for herself, and now she was on her way to it.

She was trotting forward at a fairly moderate pace. The sun was about to set, and she wanted to see as much as possible of the rumored Lunar Flowers.
It could have been her imagination, but she thought she could already start to smell them.
But wait... Was that..? She stopped and took another whiff. Yep, that was definetly two other wolves, and this time it was very real. She could also hear them. One seemed annoyed for some reason, the other one seemed kind of friendly.

She continued forward, but this time at a much slower, and more cautious pace. She knew that looks could be deceiving, and that there were some wolves out there, who would love nothing more than sinking their teeth into her flesh, just because they could, or because they thought it would be fun.

Lilac's lavender ear pricked back as she heard paw steps coming into the meadow. Turning her head, her gray eyes beheld another she wolf and she smiled and wagged her tail in a friendly manner. Lilac enjoyed the company of others even though she was currently a loner. She was still toying with the idea of joining a pack but she hadn't really gotten far with it. The wolf she had said hello to hadn't seemed to be interested in talking so maybe it was a good idea to leave her be for now.

Lilac padded forward and the autumn breeze rustled her lavender and white fur and also brought the scent of the other wolf to her. She didn't smell of a pack but Lilac didn't take much notice. "Hello there. Have you come to see the flowers bloom too?" Lilac was friendly anyway but lately she'd been starved for any kind of interaction. She had been holed up alone in her den almost all spring.

Sprout saw the lavender wolf turn, she couldn't sense any hostileness yet, but it still made her slightly uneasy that the other female's attention was now pointed at her. She stopped and took a small step back. She wasn't sure if she wanted to answer the question, but she did not want to seem rude, so she cautiously uttered a soft spoken "yes", then looked away to show that she was not a threat.

Lilac smiled at the other she-wolf. She looked a bit nervous so Lilac tried to make sure her tail was down so she wasn't showing any dominance to the newcomer. Choosing to turn her attention away from the wolf she had orginally spoken to, Lilac continued on with her conversation with the other female. "My name is Lilac and I've actually never seen the flowers blossom before. What are you called?" Lilac tilted her head to the side in curiosity of the new wolf. She may have been timid but perhaps she could be a new friend to Lilac.

Sprout looked back again. This other she wolf, Lilac was it? Anyways, she did not seem hostile at all, on the contrary she seemed really friendly. Sprout relaxed just a bit and took a few steps closer to the other female, and sat down. She still kept an eye on the third female though, she did not want any surprises. Then she remebered that she had been asked a question. "Sprout", she answered, "my name is Sprout".

The sun set, and the most beautiful white flowers, Sprout had ever seen, started blossoming all around the meadow.
"Wow", she whispered. This was truly a magical sight, it actually looked like the flowers were starting to glow in the waning light. And the scent! God it was wonderful, she just had to get closer to one of the flowers and smell it. There was one not that far of to her right. She went closer and took another whiff. It was truly amazing! She threw herself on her back, and just enjoyed the sight and smell of the flowers. Somehow the flowers had a calming effect on her, and she wasn't nearly as worried about the other two wolves as she had been before. She looked back at Lilac and just waged her tail.

Lilac nodded in acknowledgement when Sprout introduced herself and was about to say something else when the sun finally set. Lilac watched as slowly the flowers in the meadow began to blossom. The sight was truly incredible and the flowers were so white they almost seemed to glow in the moon's reflection. Speechless, Lilac's gray eyes simply beheld the beauty before her until she let her senses open up to truly enjoy the experience. She could smell the sweet scent of the blossoms, feel how soft they were against her pawpads, and hear the cool breeze as it wound through the valley and shook the petals on the flowers. What a wonderful night. And then Lilac remembered she was not alone. She paid little attention to the wolf she had first encountered assuming that she did not want to be bothered, and instead looked to Sprout. The two didn't need to exchange words just that second because the view was enough. Lilac wagged her tail in return and smiled at Sprout. "Its truly...breathtaking." she practically whispered.
