Learning to Walk on Water [Open]

[Deleted]

"Finally! I've been walking for daaaays."

The young wolf had set out on his venture promptly after walking away from the cave of Sheba, the new mark of the water power gleaming an icy blue against his white throat. He could have practiced this anywhere, he passed several ponds and smaller lakes on the way. But the stubborn youth had been determined to do it here. He'd always been told to be wary of this lake and it's deep waters, but if his powers proved true, he needn't fear any deep waters anyway. He'd definitely noticed on the snowy mountain that the cold had lost it's bite, but what if that was some sort of placebo effect? He had to test the validity of these so called magic wolves for himself, being the skeptical and often bullheaded young wolf that he was.

His tail wagged and he picked up speed as he approached the huge lake, the spring had settled over the lands now, and he knew that the only way this lake would freeze was by his own doing. It was the perfect test! He came to a sliding stop as he approached the water's edge, lifting a paw to place against the mark on his neck, "You better not have duped me, Sheba." He muttered as he lifted a paw, gingerly placing it against the water as he focused on nothing but the act of making the water freeze. His eyes lit up when he saw the water freeze, "Wicked." He put more weight on the ice to see how strong it was, gingerly lifting a second paw the the frozen sheet, then another, until he was standing on the ice flow just his size, "Yessss!"

After a few more minuted of ginger testing, the young wolf found himself gleefully prancing across the lake, laughing raucously and letting out uproarious whoops and hollers as he continued his ridiculous display. The racket he was making would surely disturb any wolf nearby, the thought of consequence, though, seemed thoroughly lost on the rowdy teen.

(OOC: hope you don't mind me sneaking in my new character even though she doesn't have a power.)

The young bright eyed female ambled along through the wispy grasses, the long frail blades brushed against her fine white coat and slender sides, bowing to her presence as she walked through their clusters. The crispness of the now autumn chill was evident in the air, and a remote wind ruffled her longer mane fur ever so slightly. Her winter coat was almost completely grown in, and she could feel the warmth it already provided against the breeze as another gust swept past her with more force.

Stopping in her tracks, the young she wolf lifted her nose to the wind to let the scents it carried enter her flared nostrils, but her swiveling ears caught the sound first. Laughter and shouts of excitement floated towards her from over the slight incline in the landscape that obscured her view of the source of the noise. Without the thought to hesitate, the white paws padded through the grass, and the lilac tipped tail swayed back and forth in a friendly casual manner. During the steady trot up the slope, the cheerful hollers grew louder and more defined, and the scent more clear to decipher. The young she wolf figured a male was her answer, and upon reaching the crest, her assumptions were resolved as her keen eyes spotted a prancing figure out in the waters of Kai lake.

Her first thoughts were confusion, as she didn't think the waters were completely frozen solid yet, and she continued to ponder this strangeness until the realization came to her. She remembered her parents telling her of the White wolves that ruled over the mountain and valley, and how they also had the abilities to grant wolves different powers. As a young pup, she had greatly desired to gain a power and be able to use it, but that was a youngster's dream, now she didn't want a power at all, she know her greatest gift was in herself, and she didn't need anything else.

Pearl found herself standing on the top of the slope with the wind combing through her fur as she looked down at the romping wolf, and didn't hold back the sweet little smile that was forming on her muzzle. There was always a certain joy one got from watching another be happy.

(I don't mind at all! ^^)

He was the king of the ice and snow, and no one would take that away from him.

He felt the exhilarating rush of freedom wash over him as he cavorted senselessly across the water, only wishing that the ice would remain behind after his feet left it's surface, but that would come in time, for now he enjoyed the feeling of dancing across the lake in a rowdy display of pure unbridled joy. He cared not what anyone around thought of his nonsensical display, it was just him and the water beneath him, devotedly catching him every time he landed like an old friend he could always trust. He didn't care that his lungs ached from the cold air he was breathing in, or that he was panting heavily by now, or that a mysterious wolf had appeared at the crest overlooking the lake to stand and watch his performance. Wait.

He let out a gasp as his eyes caught sight of the figure, momentarily distracted by the sudden appearance, he let out a startled yelp as he landed in cold water now, his concentration broken for the moment, "Ulf!" He flailed around in an unsightly manner for a moment as he got his bearings, before he began to paddle to the shore, "Haha, whoops!" He gave himself a vigorous shake as water scattered heavily from his long coat, looking up towards the stranger with his curiosity now piqued, "Hello?" As the breeze shifted towards him he caught scent of them, or her, as he discovered.His tail wagged a little in a friendly greeting as he approached her, somewhat cautious in his movements, "I've never seen you around here before!" She was a totally new face in fact, though he didn't often make friends with the wolves who frequented this area, he at least knew their faces. But she was new!

With thrill and awe in her eyes, the she wolf watched as the young male pranced and leaped over the water, ice plates appearing beneath his paws every time he touched the water's surface. She was amazed at how he did it, so fast and sure that he wouldn't just unexpectedly plunge beneath the cold crystal water. A soft giggle was let out as the white furred teen frolicked around to his full content, oblivious to her observant eyes that sparkled with glee.

Suddenly she watched in slight dread as he collapsed in the lake and dunked under for a split second before coming up again with a yelp of surprise. A few swift steps brought her closer in worry as she watched him struggle, then swim rapidly towards shore. When he reached the land he came up out of the water and let the water spray off of him as he shook. "Hello?" His lanky form was even more defined as his damp fur clung to his body, and his tail still dripping swished in a kind greeting as he approached her. She barely noticed his caution, and answered his question in simple words and a pleasant smile still on her face. "I'm from the forests far north, that is probably why." She continued to look him over and with soft giggles said, "That was some performance. Are you okay? The water must have been freezing, I hope you don't get a chill" Undaunted by his presence or larger form and height, and heedless of how her actions could make him react, the petite female stepped closer as she stood beside him and licked his shoulder twice in an attempt to dry his fur and warm him faster.
