// @artimis and Aussie here, but also open for anyone to join! ^^ //



The day had become beautiful. Sun shone brightly and warming everything. There was couple of clouds, and only on the horizon Traveler saw some dark storm clouds. Hopefully they wouldn't come the same way she was going with her friend Aussie. This was delightful, and the summer breeze felt nicely refreshing. How it would feel to fly, high on the sky?

She saw the glistening lake not far away from there. Excited she speed up her pace, feeling the wind on her face.

She looked around her, searching for her friend. "Aussie, I can see the lake!" "

Abyss yawned lazily on the shore of Kai lake, the slow tide washed around her paws. She rested her head on the pebbles. A cool breeze ruffled her fur. She sighed and let the foam wash around her body.

[Deleted]

Aussie had been walking silently beside her friend. When Trav mentioned she could see the lake she peered through the trees trying to see. "Wow! I can't wait to swim! Maybe play with some stones." She laughed. She glanced off through the trees. Storm clouds were brewing somewhere over at the Mystic Caves. Aussie felt bad for any wolves trapped there. Coming back to the present she looked at Traveler. "I wonder how many other wolves will be at the lake? It's hot today and plenty will probably want to fake a dip. Goods, neutrals, any evils alike!" Deep down she knew all sides got along. They just didn't want to be friends. Silly things, she thought. Kai Lake came into glorious view. Sparkling in the sun and beckoning to the tired and hot. Aussie's pawsteps quickened. She was eager to feel it's cool waves lap at her fur.

Traveler thought about all the fun things they could do at the lake. Swim of course! Sun had been shining so much the water had to be warm enough to swim. And maybe chase some ducks or other water birds? What ever, they could do all of that, they had all day.
"Yeah, you could try to do something like, throw some pebbles on the waters surface? And try to get them as far as possible without sinking them~" She suggested, and laughed at her own idea, it sounded quite bizarre.
The idea of meeting new wolves sounded really fun! "I hope we will meet new friends~" She wished and looked around them, like already searching for new wolves to meet.

As she came closer the lake, she caught a new smell from the wind. She stopped, trying to listen. But she was to excited to focus, all the possible threats vanished from her mind. All she thought was 'possible new friend!' "Hey Aussie, I think there is another wolf!" She whispered to her friend.

[Deleted]

Aussie glanced around. "Over there!" She pointed with her nose. She stood awkwardly for a moment. Casting a look at Traveler. Her head tilted sideways. "Lets go check it out." Aussie lost all interest in the lake for the moment.

[Deleted]

Abyss lifted her black head at the sounds of wolves barking. He heaved herself to her paws and shook out her black, white, and dark blue fur. She padded curiously towards the trees. She sat on the smooth stones halfway to the trees. Abyss let out a loud bark letting them know she was here.

[Deleted]

Traveler saw the new wolf sitting on the shore of the lake. He or she, Traveler didn't know yet, seemed friendly, greeting them with a loud bark.
"Hello~!" Traveler barked back with cheerful tone and walked towards them, wagging tail in excitement. She was really excited to meet this new wolf.

[Deleted]

Abyss leaped to her paws and loped over to the red wolf. "Hi there!" She waggled her haunches in the air. Her black tail stark against the blue sky. "My names Abyss!" She set her paws in the green spring grass and let her bright pink tongue loll out.

[Deleted]

Aussie followed Traveler allowing her tail to sway. "Nice to meet ya! I'm Aussie." She perked her ears forward in interest. Aussie swapped glances between Abyss and the lake. Longing to just jump in and for for a swim.

[Deleted]

Abyss noticed Aussie's longing gaze and grinned. "So you fancy yourself a swimmer?" She said with gleaming eyes. "So do I." Just then her belly rumbled. She turned her gaze to Trav, then Aussie, then back again."How about a contest?! Whoever catches the most fish by sun high wins!" And with that she turned tail and ran to the lake.

[Deleted]

Traveler looked at Aussie and Abyss while they were introducing themselves. "I don't really have a name, but Aussie calls me Traveler, so you can too." She added, smiling friendly to Abyss.
The fish catching contest sound exciting! The urge to compete flashed inside her as she tensed her muscles and run towards the lake.
"Allright, good luck!" She barked just before she jumped on the cold water. Brrr it was colder than she had thought! But that didn't stop her, she started to swim deeper in search for a good fishing spot.

[Deleted]

Aussie's long legs gave her a good running start to wer jump. "It's on!" She laughed. She hit the water with a large splash. Paddling around she started to feel fish fins and tails brush her ankles. She stopped swimming and floated for a second. Their glittering scales reflecting sunlight soon gave away their positions. Aussie with a bit of comical excitement stuck her nose underwater. Her bright orange fur turning darker as water seeped through it. Lavender eyes met with flickering fish ones. The femme came back up triumphantly with a muscled fish in her jaws. But this fish wasn't going to give up easily. It thrashed its tail into the creatures face that was holding it.
Splash~!
"Crikey! That in the name of.....darn fish!" Aussie growled. She stubbornly rubbed her muzzle. "Slapped by a fish. That can go down in the record."

[Deleted]

Abyss laughed. "See ya got in a brawl with a scaled one!" She snorted and dived head first into the lake. She pushed herself deeper into the water. Her sharp blue eyes spot a flash of aqua scales. She twisted in the water and clamped her strong jaws on its head, killing it instantly. The water felt suffocating and she barely broke the surface in time. The dead fish was no longer twitching so Abyss paddled to the shore and started her pile.

[Deleted]

The others seemed to be in full action, and so was Traveler. She swam a little away from her friends, and reached some large rocks that rose above the water surface. She climbed on top of one stone, and stood silently. Water dripped from her wet fur, doing pretty circles on the water. There was some splashing and noise coming from where her friends were, so she hoped in her mind that the fishes would frighten that noise and come where she was waiting. A nice plan, she giggled.
And quite quickly she saw fishes coming closer. There was a nice looking, big fish coming closer. Traveler tensed her body, got ready, and... Fwum she leaped into water mouth gaping open. She vanished completely under the water for a moment. When she came to air once again, she had that big fish between her jaws. The fish was twitching very violently and Traveler had lots of work keeping it in her mouth. She climbed to dry land and dropped the fish there, keeping it in it's place with her paws, not letting it to jump back to water. After the fish had stopped moving, Traveler let out a cheerful laugh, jumped back to water and swam back to her rock.

Aussie was still muttering about the rebel fish when her feet bumped into shore. I'm nowhere near the shoreline! She thought slightly confused. Her paws rested on a small sandbar. The shallowest spot was about ankle deep. Fish where all around this sandbar. "Halleluah!" She barked. Settling down on her belly she crept up to a drop off. Lashing out with a wide paw she knocked a fish right out of the water. It landed on the sand beneath her but didn't have enough water to swim. She frantically slapped both feet down on it to hold it still. Sighing with relief she snapped its spine and made a pile next to her where she knew it wouldn't float away.
