Beginning Again (Closed)

[Deleted]

Dust clouded up around the she wolf's paws as she ran, she had nothing left to loose she had only stuck around because her mother had asked that she stayed. But her mother was dead now no thanks to her sister and her inability to get out of the way of an angry bear. Tanali's thoughts caused her to slow down from a run to a brisk walk her tongue slightly hanging out of her jaw. She had been nonstop after finding their mother's body her sister having already split before Tanali could confront her.

A deep growl rumbled from the wolf that was color of dried blood. Hatred clouded her mind as she thought of what she would do and say if her and her sister ever crossed paths again. Her anger had boiled over enough that she had killed a lone wolf that was stupid enough to cross her path, the wolves name she did not care to know but the blood was still fresh and dripped from her muzzle leaving a trail as she walked.

An unfamiliar scent wafted up to Tanali's nose giving her reason to stop and lift her head taking in the scent. She smelled a few different distinct smells meaning it was more than just one wolf but they all had a combined scent that could only belong to a pack but a hint of death and evil also tainted the land. Tilting her head she thought about whether or not she should make her presence known, going into a pack's territory could result in a fight one she would not win on her own. Nodding her head and giving a devilish smirk she tilted her head back and opened her jaw letting out a long howl.

Having not heard a returning howl nor seeing an approaching wolf she sighed and growled to herself. She hated being kept waiting, she didn't have anywhere to be exactly but still she shouldn't be kept waiting. The shewolf began pacing back and forth her tail held low and close to her haunches and her hackles were raised. Dust was kicked up as she continued to pace, she didn't want to outright leave and miss her chance at joining a pack but she wasn't going to wait here all day either. Tanali debated on where she would go next if she was turned down from entering the pack, she could continue being a loner but didn't like the idea of forever being alone.

She didn't crave attention like some wolves did, but being forever alone didn't sound appealing either. Having made up her mind she decided to try one last time before continuing on with her journey. The she wolf licked her muzzled her tongue licking off bits of dried up blood that had stuck to her to muzzle. Having made her decision that she was going to try one more time before leaving she threw back her head and let out another long howl.

Fjord gadnt heard the initial howl through the fhaos of founding his pack. But the second one rang out at dusk, when all was calmer. His rounded white ears pricked upwards as the voice reached him. Was it a lone wolf looking for a pack? Or a challenger demanding a brawl for the territory? Perhaps it was a representative from a neighboring pack that wished to ally. Deciding that the latter two were unlikely, Fjord set out. He could take in a loner any day by himself. Two wolves he could kill as well, though he would am have to visit Genesis' den afterwards. More foes then that, he would need back up. But he didnt think that this howl was from another pack, or from a hopeful, wannabe alpha searching for a pack to usurp.

The large, in inundating make loped through the barrens, a shall copse of trees zooming behind him. Fjord sprinted to the crest of the ridge and stared down in the ravine below. There at the base was a shewolf of a reddish brown hue. His blood red eyes scanned the surrounding land for any other companions, but none of his senses came back positive. Fjord trotted down the slope, dexterous paws weaving around stray clumps of sedge and clay. As the Alpha came three wolf-lengths away, he came to a halt. Fjord's entire demeanor radiated dominance and power. His fur bristled along his spine, his white tail arched over his back, his bear-like ears shoved forward, legs stiff. He surveyed this shewolf. Any more shewolves and the makes would be outnumbered, but it didnt matter as long as she fit the criteria. "I am Alpha Fjord of Midnight Silence." He growled. "Tell me why you have called for my presence."

Amber paws stopped as the shewolf paused in her pacing. Cold eyes the color of molten gold studied the wolf before her, he was all white save for the red on his paws. Looking up she was careful to avoid eye contact for she did not want to challenge him. She was strong yes and wasn't afraid of a fight, but a fight against this male would result in injury or even death the latter being more likely. Tanali could smell the scent of power and death that emanated from the male.

"I am Tanali, I have called for you presence because I wish to join your pack." She spoke to him her voice confident but cold, she then eyed him having made her request and looked at how he held himself. She did not cower before him because she never cowered to anyone but she did keep her tail close and down."I did not bring you any gifts but I will prove my loyalty." She said and gave a little hope that her loyalty would indeed be enough. But if she had to prove herself and the task was within reason she would do it. But if he asked her to follow him blindly without question she would have no choice but to walk away.

Fjord gazed at her straight in the jeweled eyes. She seemed like the kind if wolf he could grow to respect. That is, if she fit the criteria. He began to walk around her, inspecting her. She seemed well fed for a loner. She had that cold glint in her eyes that he liked. Her demeanor was not commanding like a stuck up chaotic neutral. Like that lame Koronies. He almost snorted in disgust at the thought if that shewolf who claimed she was evil.

The large white alpha halted, his red paws digging into the ground. "Loyalty is what I need. Yet it comes second. I need to know if you have what it takes to kill if another wolf threatens our borders or our honor. I need to know if you can truly become one with Midnight Silence." He gazed down at her. His stare was more emotionless than cruel it anything else really. He padded even closer until they were mere inches apart. His breath billowed out in the somewhat frosty air as night fell. Fjord whispered his next words. "Are you truly...evil?"

[Deleted]

She did not turn to face him as he circled her, instead she stayed still and merely glanced at him as he walked. This shewolf wasn't stupid enough to leave herself open to an attack but she also would not continuously turn her body around in circles. When he paused with inspection of her she eyed him once more ears twitching and a toothy grin formed when he asked if she would attack someone who enters the border,"If another wolf threatens these borders or the pack's honor then I would not hesitate to kill. Tanali said simply but the glint in her eyes and the way she grinned spoke that not only would she kill them she would also enjoy it. Golden eyes looked up at him as he closed in on the space between the two, her ears twitched when he questioned her moral standing.

Hackles raised as she licked her muzzle and let out a small growl out of annoyance at being asked such a question. She didn't want to anger him so decided to choose her words carefully,"Is there something you see that would give you such an impression? " Tanali asked her voice sounding cold as she looked up at him again her eyes meeting his.

[Deleted]

Fjord padded back a little ways, his red paws taking him towards a fallen tree. There he leapt upon it to look down on her. She looked pleased to hear me ask about the killing prospect. She seems fit for the job. Now, if she considers herself a truly evil wolf we may discuss the matter of rank. the great alpha bristled as she did staring her down.

"I do not, that is why I asked." Ge snapped at her a snarl erupting from his maw. "I ask this of those who appear evil, I will not accept lists into my pack. And it seems as if you are worthy. If you are otherwise, I will find out and kill you." He ran his tongue over his teeth, relishing the thought of wolf blood once more in his throat. The great alpha closed his jaws with a snip and his red eyes bored into her fur with the force of a charging buffalo.

"I accept you, Tanali into the Midnight Silence pack!" He howled shortly, his voice projecting over his territory. Once he finished, Fjord lowered his head and spoke to the shewolf once more. "Now, its just a matter of ranks. We do need a gamma. What do you think you would be able to be? And what are your talents?"

(The gamma is like the enforcer if rules and such, see the pack board)

[Deleted]

Tanali relaxed as she watched him pad away from her and towards a fallen tree watching him leap up onto it. It would be in my best interest not to test him any further. She couldn't risk a fight with him, not that she didn't love a good fight. It was just she knew he wouldn't let her walk away that much she knew, and a dead wolf was no ally to anyone.

Her ears twitched as he spoke to her telling her that she seemed worthy enough to join the pack,"I can assure that I am indeed evil, it would be foolish if a non-truly evil wolf were to come here." She responded and simply nodded her head in his direction when he told her that she was accepted into his pack a soft smile could be seen but was gone before he could notice. However when he did look at her she lowered her head out of respect before raising it once more to look at him," Thank you alpha." She was not sure what title he wished to go by so she hoped alpha would be good enough until he corrected her.

Hearing him say that the pack needed a Gamma and what her talents were she tilted her head to think. The shewolf had a lot of talents that she could mention but she didn't think he was a wolf of words but instead of actions," Due to my size I am built for speed as well as endurance. I do not tire quickly and I'm light on my feet, making it easy for me to catch prey as well getting the upper hand."

[Deleted]

Fjord listened to her replies carefully. She seemed like her hinting abilities would be a great asset to the pack. Though the gamma needed a ruthless air, and a merciless nature. And with that they needed a sharp eye for any misbehavior. While she was a great evil wolf, she did not seem Gammess material yet. Fjord looked down on her, gazing at her softer than before. Now that she was part of his pack, he revered her as family now.

"Sister Tanali. You will be a subordinate until you show your true loyalty and ruthlessness. Then, if you wish, the position of Gammess will be opened for you." The large white wolf nodded to her before leaping up the hill. "come, and meet the family." he barked and raced over the hill.
-exit fjord-

(Currently fjord is now in the claiming thread where a fight us taking place, this would be a great opportunity to show Tanali's loyalty and ferocity. But if you do not wish to join in that's perfectly fine with me.)

[Deleted]

Tanali bowed her head and her tail wagged once slowly, she could do that. And the position of Gammess sounded something she would rather enjoy having. But first she needed to prove herself to not only her King but also to the rest of the pack. She could not protect and enforce the rules if no one trusted her. Watching him bound up the hill and telling her to come meet the pack she waited until he was ahead of her before standing up and bounding up the hill after him.
-exit Tanali-

(I could have her be a part of the fight, it would indeed give her the perfect chance to prove herself. I'll have to think of how I want to enter the fight.)

(Alright! You can come in when ever you think the time is right! With you it's 5 against 2!)
