Howling for Acceptence

[Deleted]

Timera was walking across the forests in search of a pack. For a while now she had been looking for a place to hang her hat. Somewhere she could be with other wolves in a peaceful, family sort of setting. She stood on the border of the Secluded Sunrise territory. Timera held her breath. She could howl now and hope to be accepted , or trudge on and live alone. If she was going to join a pack, this was the one she would join. She relaxed herself. Worst case scenerio, they turn her away, best, she gets accepted. Either way, so many things were possible.

Timera took a step foward and stared up at the sky. She nodded to herself and let out a giant howl that she was sure someone could hear. She let her voice run long and high. She wanted to be identified as a friendly female. When her voice was about to crack, she stoped howling. Now all she had to do was sit around and hope that someone heard her and came for her. She sat down but propped herself up on her hind legs. A chilling breeze passed her. She let her guard down a bit, tonight was a peaceful night. Stars glittered above her. The only way that tonight could be better, was if she got accepted into a pack.

Blaise:

Blaise slowed her lope as the howl grew closer then winded to a stop. The charcoal alphess was on border patrol and the call had summoned her to this part of the border. The silhouette of a wolf became evident. Blaise halted as she considered the tones of the voice that had so recently rung throughout the territory. It was definitely feminine and it seemed friendly and longing.

The she-wolf padded forward making no effort to remain hidden. Her tail waved confidently above her and her charcoal head was raised dominantly. As she neared the stranger she called her greeting, ”Hello! My name is Blaise. I’m alphess of these lands. Who are you and what do you seek in howling here?” The alphess’s voice loudly invaded the silence of the night that had filled the air after the echo of the howl had faded.

Timera listened as the wolf in front of her spoke. Blaise she thought thats a nice name it reminded Timera of a friend she had met once about 9 months ago. Timera spoke up immediatly "Hello, I'm Tirema, I'v come to join your pack." she said. She studied the wolf in front of her while she spoke, Blaise seemed friendly, she had welcomed her, and hadn't sounded at all vicious.

Timera could already imagine joining a pack. Getting up every morning in her den, surrounded by other wolves, helping on hunts, driving away other packs that tried to take over their territory, having a life with more order and solidness, it seemed perfect to her. She had always appreciated a constant schedule type of thing.

Timera hoped her voice had sounded friendly, she knew she looked a bit worried, so she straightened up a bit. Tonight, she joined a pack, or left, it was up to her to shape her future. Feeling a little bit more confident, she waited for Blaise to speak again.

Blaise:

Timera seemed confident. She spoke clearly and quickly. Her purple eyes watched Blaise, expectantly. The charcoal she-wolf met Timera's gaze with deep purple eyes of her own. Timera's gaze focused on the alphess's as the two females sized each other up.

"I'm pleased to meet you, Timera. What can you offer Secluded Sunrise?" the alphess responded. Blaise studied Timera, searching for reasons to accept her into the pack. The she-wolf's muscular frame spoke of Timera's strength. Whatever words the other wolf spoke would help solidify Blaise's impression of the female. She couldn't just accept a wolf because they appeared strong and confident. She needed more to access than appearance and a couple words of greeting.

Timera put a bit of thought into her answer. She knew which rank she wanted. She wanted to be a hunter. She was fast and had a solid build, but she had a few other traits that she could mention as well. "I am a good hunter, thats the rank I want by the way, and I'm fast enough for it." She decided to start with that. After a pause to catch her breath, she added "I'm also good with pups, and if any mother needs someone to look after their pups for any reason, I'm a good pupsitter."

She thought about other places for her potential. She decided to mention the fact that she could navigate pretty well. It wasn't a primary need, but she thought it was an intresting tidbit. "Hmm, I guess I should mention I'm good with directions and navigation. It may not be important every day, as you know your own territory, I'm sure, but it might be helpful" She couldn't think of anything else so she said "Thats all I can think of"

Blaise:

As a potential pack member, Timera seemed perfect. Despite her attributes, doubt worried Blaise. The alphess knew more than anyone how deceiving looks could be. However many suspicions Blaise harbored though, she couldn’t turn away a wolf that could help make her pack stronger.

”Then, I accept you into Secluded Sunrise. You’ll be a subordinate until you show me how fast, good with pups, and good with directions you actually are. You’ll find places to create a den in the Ashwood Grove. If I’m not mistaken, you’ll also find most members gathering there shortly.” Blaise turned as her attention was called to yet another howl ringing through the night air. ”I am needed elsewhere. Goodbye, Timera, I hope you'll find your place here, quickly.” With that, the alphess loped away.
-Exit Blaise-

Timera grinned as the alphess walked away. She was in. Now, she needed to prove herself worthy of being a hunter, show the pack how quick she was, help out with pups, and find some way to probe her navigation. Oh, and there was the fact that she still needed a den and some friends. The she-wolf had a lot of wolk to do.

Timera decided to go over to Ashwood Grove, Blaise had said that she could make a good den and meet some people there. That was good, she needed to get settled and then have a bit of social time. She decided to run over there. She spread her legs out slightely further right before she hit the ground, then leaped up and continued. She had been accepted, and was finally starting to feel joyful.

-Exit Timera-
