Rhiannon & Mest [White Magic]

[Deleted]

Stormy May

Paws trudged through the snow as head and neck were aligned with the shoulders and ears were pinned against her head. She was used to the winter having the double thick coat that was required to at least survive the cold harshness of Winter. But that didn't mean the she-wolf had to like it, no she absolutely hated winter and if she had a choice it would be Summer all the time. The ash grey female didn't even like going out of the dens during the cold weather but Treason depended upon her and Mest's ability to get White Magic. She hoped that Demetrios had made sure that the stubborn female kept the wound clean, winter was coldest to those that are injured and weak and Honovi needed their Alphess so allowing her to die just wasn't an option for them.

" I really hope that White Magic can truly help Treason. I would hate to have come all this way for absolutely nothing. Specially when the pack needs more food to survive through the winter. I was thinking about talking to Treason about organizing a hunt, what are your thoughts on this?" Rhiannon asked the wolf that had previously asked to accompany her, he had been quiet for most of the journey or maybe she had been too far into her own thoughts to pay any attention to the male. She paused as they reached the mouth of a cave, so was this where White Magic lived? Could this wolf truly help their Alphess or were they on their own, she hoped that this wolf could help them no she prayed that this wolf would help them. Shuffling her weight from leg to leg she glanced back at Mest then back to the cave, it was now or never.

" Me and my pack member here have come seeking White Magic for our injured Alphess who was attacked by a bear." The she-wolf spoke out into the opening of the cave, ears perked forward when she was first met by her own echo. Now the only thing that the pair could do was sit and wait for her to answer them and give them the means to heal Treason.

Mest pawed through the deep, prickling ice behind Rhiannon. The tense air from the events back at Honovi hadn't dissipated. Neither he nor Rhiannon had stricken conversation amongst themselves. Mest's mind had cleared of most of his anger towards Demetrios, but there was still lingering emotion that he wasn't sure would go away for a long time. He'd made a personal decision- Treason acknowledged Demetrios as Beta now, which meant her underlings should follow suit, but he couldn't bring himself to do so. He refused to acknowledge him as Beta until he proved himself worthy of the rank.

His head snapped up when Rhiannon spoke to him, tufts of white flying off his thickened, shadowy gray coat. "Yes, that would be wise," he said. "I'd be glad to help, lest Treason assigns me a new rank before then."

Mest came to a stop beside Rhiannon as her voice rang through the cave. The trip had indeed been long, and he was tired, as no doubt Rhiannon was. They'd made the trip as fast as possible with the descending winter, but it'd been difficult. He hoped that if White Magic were to accompany them home, she'd have some way to make the trip easier if not faster.

With the chill of winter permeating her cave, White Magic wasn't surprised when voices approached the cave. Winter always brought on sickness. It was a packaged deal. Beautiful, soft, pearly-white snow came with the freezing snowstorms, diseases, and lack of food. The cold and the hunger weakened wolves which caused illnesses to breed more easily in the frozen season.

As the request of her presence echoed through the cave, White Magic was already shuffling through her dried herbs, vials of medicine, and other tools used for healing. She paused at the final word. 'Bear'... Bears should be hibernating at this time of year. Had the injured wolf woken a bear from its slumber? That was unlikely since the wolves asking had said she was an alphess. Alphesses tended to have some wisdom of the ways of the world, else they would not stay in power long. If the bear attack hadn't happened during the winter, there was much cause to be alarmed since the wounds would likely be infected by now. White Magic grabbed her emergency bag which was filled with the necessary items to heal most wounds and common ailments.

The White Wolf walked briskly to where the wolves waited. "A bear? Where is your alphess? Take me to her."

Mest inched a bit further past the mouth of the cave, feeling the icy breeze that swirled throughout blow past him. He watched White Magic's solid, almost shining coat move from place to place, shuffling through and gathering items. He watched her ears perk up as @rhiannon finished her sentence. Take me to her.

Mest moved aside swiftly, providing a pathway for White Magic to exit. "This way, Miss, if you will," he called.

He allowed the White Wolf to pass him, dipping his head respectfully as she did, and looked at Rhiannon, waiting for her to take lead. She was, after all, head of this mission. It was only right that she should lead the way.

[[Sorry had doctor appointments all week last week.]]

Amber eyes watched silently watched a wolf go back and forth in the cave checking on things. So this wolf must be White Magic? The concept of such powerful wolves was still very new to the she-wolf, but she had no time to stay and learn how White Magic had gotten her name. She had a job to do and finding the healer was only the first part, she still had to get home. Moving out of the way so the she-wolf could exit the cave she nodded to Mest letting him finish before turning on her paw.

Glancing back at the other two she nodded her head for them to follow as she started at a brisk pace. She didn't have much use to say anything now, they would be back to Honovi soon and she hooed that they made it in time to heal Treason. Mest could fill in the details on how they found Treason whenever she returned to the pack from a meeting with Frigid Plaque. Rhiannon still was slightly upset that their Alphess hadn't taken another wolf with her, going alone was foolish on her behalf.
