Eclipse (Taboo) (done)

[Deleted]

 A young wolf padded up the mountain. His eyes were two different colors, one blue on the back side, and one was golden. Eclipse was half black, half white, with a thin strip of gray in the middle that separated the two. Eclipse lowered his head, grateful that it was a white day. He found  mud puddle and rolled in it to disguise his colors. In the end he looked brownish. Eclipse padded forward, and, trying to disguise his fear, called, "Tabbo, I seek the power you deem fit for me.". Eclipse flickered his tail, unhappy about his eyes. What if the White Wolf saw his inner Demons?

Taboo was gazing at a small butterfly larva, its wrinkled body a bright yellow with green stripes. It's little legs were mutiple and worked flawlessly to get the creature up the stem of the plant he was on. The worm crawled tirelessly to his next meal, ready to munch on the leaf. What a beautiful creature. Alas, Taboo couldn't have the caterpillar consuming her herbs. The white wolf gently led the worm onto her muzzle, she then placed on the earth far away from her garden. She gazed at the worm fondly only to have the creature plucked up by an ugly black starling. Taboo sighed. That was nature. The white shewolf turned her attention to a brownish wolf coming up the mountain. "Hello there....Eclipse is it?" Taboo hoed she had gotten his name right, there were so many wolves swarming in the valley it was difficult to pin names to faces. "You've come for a power, am I correct?"

Eclipse watched the bird for a moment. Then he looked back at the White Wolf, her rainbow eyes seemed to bore into his own. He herd the rain start pitter pattering. Eclipse nodded when she guessed his name. "Yha, thats me." Eclipse said quietly. He felt water trickle down his fur, washing away some mud. "Um, yes. I would like a power, but I don't know which one I want." Eclipse flicked his tail. He wished that his fur was not as it was, or his eyes were not so different. His entire life seemed to be wanting something different. A power might help, but he wasn't sure. Might give me something to hold my hopes on, he thought.

Taboo giddily sat up straighter. "Quiz time!" The white shewolf noticed the mud streaming off his pelt, untidy...soil maybe. Snapped out of her thoughts she continued. "In a fight, do you take the offensive or defensive?" This question would help determine what kind of power, whether earth or not. The white shewolf studied thus male. He seemed reserved, unsure, intelligent but afraid. Full if angst and perhaps self loathing. What an interesting child. He was ashamed if something, his appearance? His past? Her opalescent eyes gleamed as she studied him, as if boring into his very core, searching out the books and niches inside his heart.

Eclipse was slightly taken aback. But he answered quickly, "I take the defensive, if possible." he said. The water had streamed down his face, clearing off some mud. The black on one side and the white on the other became slightly visible through the mud. He sat, but stood again. Her eyes were boring into him, and he felt like she was trying to see into his past. He tried to sit again and stood back up. Eclipse noticed a little thing in the mud. He tried to keep it subtle, as he got a better look. It was a tiny bird, and the darker side of him wanted to eat it. He resisted the urge, and carefully tried to edge the baby bird to him with his paw.

Taboo nodded. That didnt really do much, each if the powers could be used in an offensive and defensive way. Giving up on the quiz entirely, she began to study him. He held himself strangely, his shoulders lapsed but his legs stiff, tail stightly curled. His gead was about a normal height while his ears seemed to be perpetually in movement. It was as if the male couldn't decide what stance to take. He seemed confused and just in want if purpose in life. Invisibility would not help him find purpose. Taboo eradicated the probability of choosing that potion.

"Then, Eclipse, do you favor the quick, efficient progressional way and often dream if the future? It do you revere the ears if old and feel more connected to the earth and nature around you?" This question would help her gnaw down the choices. The good Mage figured her sister Geist would send him away. No real purpose coming here, no real power either. Sheba would probably just toss him a harmless one like camouflage. It would help him hung after all. Or maybe just sonething random. you don't know what you want? Fine. Then I don't know shat I'm giving you.[/b] But Taboo was different from her sisters, she would help this wolf find the power that truly connected with his spirit. And if, in the end his spirit was destined to be powerless then that would be how he left.

"I like the earth." Eclipse said. Then the power he wanted, it hit him. Bounty! That would be perfect, I can't hurt anyone with that, hopefully. Eclipse decided that he would ask, "How about Bounty?" he asked. Eclipse became set in his choice. He had always found nature comforting, flowers helped him keep calm. Bounty would also protect him if he encountered the evil wolves. Eclipse didn't want to die, but maybe it would be a good thing. No, I'm going to live, Bounty can help me! I can muzzle myself if I feel the dark coming up! Eclipse almost smiled at his new idea and new reason to get Bounty.

Taboo's breath caught in her throat as she withheld a laugh. "Child of the earth, I think you are mistaken." She cast her opalescent eyes down as her shoulders shook with silent laughter. "You mean Botany not bounty." The good wolf shook her head as she skipped into her den. What a silly wolf. She wondered if he had chosen correctly. Although he had vine covered in earth, Taboo didnt believe that the soil was meant for him. Not to mention how soft he looked. He didnt seem rugged enough to wield stone. So in the end, the kinky power left for him was botany. Good thing he wanted it, otherwise he woukdve left the mountain within empty jaws.

The white Mage snuffled through her stores-a crevice in the fabric of the cave- for the power. It was a green color, though it differed in hue. The one she reached for was a paler spring green. Maybe this softer pastel color would help take the edge off the power. The darker greens would mean his plants would be more prone to thorns and such nuisances. Taboo returned to the outside and nudged to flask of the mixture towards him. "Drink up. I hope you're satisfied."

[Deleted]

Eclipse's tail tip twitched, which was the closest he had gotten to a wag in a long time. "Thankyou a thousand times!" he said. Not a whole lot could get him this happy. His gold eye glittered brightly. The blue one just looked, like it was dead. He winced as the White Wolf laughed silently. When the flask was opened, he drank. It tasted as Eclipse imagined grass would. Just a little sweeter. A mark appeared over his gold eye. "Thankyou, ever so much." he bowed to her, then stood up to go. As he walked away, he made some grass sprout. It wasn't very good, but he would get better.
