The Good ol' Days (Open)

[Tiel]

Nishi:
She knew it. She knew the sunrise would be beautiful at this lake. Nishi and her two pups had been traveling the valley. There was no particular reason why, other than exploring, and perhaps meeting some new faces along the way. Now the rosy pink wolf poked her head out of a small abandoned den she had found under the roots of a sapling tree, gazing out onto the gorgeous scenery. The night before, it had not seemed like much, but now, the lake was golden as the sun slowly creeped up the horizon, and there was one wolf she knew would love it. Nishi twisted around to face her two pups sleeping so peacefully. She gently nudged her small grey one with her nose. "Kim," she whispered, "wake up."

Kimiko:
Blue eyes blinked open as the sound of Mama's voice woke Kimiko. She felt her brother Dae rustle in his sleep. Tentatively, she looked up at her mother who appeared as a dark silhouette, light pouring into the den behind her, though Kimiko could still see her genuine smile through her shadow. Nishi gestured for her to follow, then slowly lead the way out of the den. Kimiko stood up, careful not to wake Dae, and padded out of the den. Her vision was blurred by the glare of sunlight for a few seconds, but soon she could see the golden lake. More colors than she had ever seen before were spread across the clouds, the sun, and the water. "Woah..." she whispered as her oceanic eyes widened. She gazed at it in awe, until she realized the expression on her mother's face. She was grinning down at her pup, and looked rather satisfied with herself. Kimiko tilted her head. "I knew you would love it," Mama said with a laugh. "Oh," said Kimiko, still a bit confused, which made Mama laugh more. "Why don't we catch some breakfast. Come on, I'll show you how to fish," Kimiko smiled up at her mother, and her tail began wagging cheerfully. "I already know how to fish, Mama! I'll show you!" The grey pup pranced over to the shore, eager for a chance to impress her mother. Silvery figures held perfectly still in the clear water, other than their fins gently swishing side to side. They did not seem to notice her, until she leapt into the water grabbing a fish with her jaws. It wriggled around a bit, before she clenched down tighter and the prey went limp. Kimiko excitedly presented the prize to her mother.

Nishi:
The rosy pink she wolf sighed when her daughter placed a fish in front of her. She admired her long graceful legs with pride. Without a doubt, Kimiko would grow up to be bigger than her mother, and much more beautiful as well. What concerned her, however, was all the young he wolves her daughter would attract. "Good work, Kim," she praised her daughter. Nishi's pups really were growing up.

Sasha;

Spring was here! The snow had gone, and except for the rare blizzard that reared its chilly head, the weather had turned calmer and warmer. Sasha no longer blended into his surroundings anymore, his white fur now sticking out rather than camoflauging him. His bright green underbelly, and green and blue detailing on the rest of his body seemed brighter than ever, now that the sun was out in full force. The newly aquired tattoo on his flank was bright against his white fur, too. It was the only hint that he now had a power like so many other wolves within the valley. He didn't constantly use his telekinesis, but it sure was handy. He had been practicing a little bit.

He crested a hill as the sun rose, and suddenly saw a mother with a pup. He knew how protective mothers could be, so he slowed his pace. Though he was gentle and would never hurt even a fly, he was large and strange. He could not tell if the wolves before him were in Eternal Snowfall or not, so he sat a good distance away. He could smell a third pup, too. He smiled as the younger female pulled out a fish.
"Well done!" He barked, announcing himself and giving a broad smile. "As good a fisher as I've ever seen."

Kimiko:
An unfamiliar voice sounded. Kimiko peered up to see a silhouette wolf approaching. She stepped back nervously at first, but as he came closer, the sun hit him to reveal a friendly, less scary looking wolf. When Mama did not seem afraid, she realized he probably was not very dangerous. After all, Kimiko's mother was all knowing, and it was almost always best to listen to what she said. Kimiko stood up straighter when he mentioned how great a fisher she was. Of course, she did not want to be rude to this strange guest. It was only polite to offer him a fish as well. "I can catch another one!" she said cheerfully, her tail rapidly wagging behind her. Before waiting for a response, she bounced over to the lake to catch another silvery fish. What about Dae? she thought. So she decided to catch fish for the whole family.

Nishi:
"Hello," she said to the stranger. By now, Nishi could tell the difference between a friendly wolf and one who meant her or her family harm. "She sure is," the proud mother agreed as Kimiko pranced away to catch more fish. "I'm Nishi," said Nishi, "and that happy fisher is my daughter Kimiko." It almost felt odd for two wolves so different in looks to be referred to as relatives, but at heart, Kim and Dae would always be her children. The white wolf must have smelled Dae in the den, so Nishi gestured in that direction and said "Sleeping in that den is my son Dae. Kim and I just got up to see the sunrise." Kimiko really was the only one she knew who would appreciate it as much as she did. As wonderful as Dae was, Kim and Nishi really had a unique bond.

Sasha;

"And what a sunrise it is!" He said, his careful voice loud in the morning quiet. He smiled joyfully at the little family, not thinking for even a moment that their lack of resemblance was strange. The young female had bounded off to catch fish again, and Sasha caught the mother's eye.
He winked, stronger in gesture than in spoken word, and suddenly the tattoo on his flank began to glow. As the little wolf reached the shore, a fish fairly shot out of the water and landed at her feet, flopping on the dry ground. Sasha turned and his tattoo faded at the same time. He adopted a look of utmost surprise.

"Why, she's even a better fisher than we thought!" His tail wagged lightly and he smiled. He was often more quiet than this,
but something about the beautiful morning was loosening his tongue. "Be sure to save some fish for other hunters."

He sighed and looked at the clouds properly. It really was beautiful. The clouds were pink and orange, blending together as one. His tail flicked and he turned to the mother wolf.
"Nishi, Kimiko, and Dae. I am Sasha. It is a pleasure to meet such avid and capable hunters." He spoke the last part loudly so the pup would be sure to hear.

Kimiko:
As Kimiko skidded to a hault by the lake, ready to catch another fish, one huge one miraculously flew out of the water and landed with a flop by her feet, spraying some droplets of water at her face. Kimiko stared at it in awe, her deep blue eyes wide with disbelief. She must have had telekinesis! Powers were hereditary, weren't they? It was entirely possible, considering Nishi was not her blood parent. Someone in her family might have had telekinesis! "Why, she's even a better fisher than we thought!" came that stranger's voice again. Kimiko eagerly grabbed the fish, clenching her teeth tight until it went limp, then trotted happily over to the two adult wolves. She wagged her tail as she placed it in front of the white one, her honored guest. He was much larger than Mama, but then again, almost anyone looked like a giant standing next to her mother. "Mama! I think I have telekinesis!" She smiled up at her mother cheerfully. "You can eat this one, sir," she said directed toward the stranger. A large fish was perfect for such a large wolf. "I'll go catch one for my brother!" And off she went to catch another, then of course, she would catch her own. She sat in front of the lake, partially expecting another fish to fly out and land at her paws.

Nishi:
The mother wolf noticed a tattoo on the male's coat as it began to glow. Without a doubt, a psychological power, as it was shaped like an eye. He winked at her mischievously, and Nishi smiled, now intrigued. She followed his gaze to her daughter as a fish flew out of the water and landed by her paws. Nishi burst out laughing at the expression on Kimiko's face. "Well, you are an awfully talented fisher, Kimmy," she said through laughter. "Nishi, Kimiko, and Dae. I am Sasha. It is a pleasure to meet such avid and capable hunters." "And what a pleasure it is to meet a wolf with such a fascinating power," Nishi's voice was warm and almost youthful as she spoke to Sasha. His kind, playfulness was contagious.

Sasha;

Sasha laughed and it rolled around the clearing joyfully. He often wasn't so loud, but something about this pup made him happy to laugh for all to hear. His eyes sparkled as he watched the puppy play by the waterside. She was so imaginative, so confident in herself, that she believed she had done it herself. She even pranced back to her mother and announced that she believed she may have telekinesis. Sasha grinned at this. To be so trusting of the world around would be a blessing.

"Oh, many thanks," Sasha said as she dropped the fish he had technically caught at his feet. She ran back to the edge and plunked down by the water. Sasha's tattoo burned back into life, but instead of a fish this time, a little pebble from the bottom of the shoreline flew out and landed at her feet. Sasha didn't have amazing control, yet, of his power, but he had enough of a grasp to make a pup smile.
Another pebble flew out.
And another.

He nodded as the mother complimented him, his shyness threatening to steal his eyeline to the ground. He fought it though, and smiled at her.
"I'm not anything special." His smile widened. "Still learning, myself."

(I know Iris is somewhere else but she'll be leaving soon so I wanna get her to know these wolves.)

Heavy, large paws padded slowly to Kai lake, and deep gray fur shone in the sun. Iris just left the Eternal Snowfall territory in search of friends. Though, she always thought of her tyrant of a son, Oscuro, who left her. Splash! Iris jumped from her thoughts, suddenly aware of the wolf scent. She picked up her pace in the direction of the scent until she found three wolves. She slowly approached, careful not to scare anyone. "Hello...?" She called out, she knew she was safe, but she was still wary and scared. She padded until her paws almost hit the water.

(Oh Power, I forgot this thread!)

Nishi:
The mother was watching as pebble after pebble landed by her daughter's paws, until she turned her head away from Kimiko and Sasha to see another unfamiliar face approaching. "Hello...?" her voice fluttered out like a nervous butterfly. So she and Sasha probably did not know each other, otherwise she might have sounded more casual. "Hey there," Nishi said smiling politely. Subtly, she thumped her hind leg at her ear, scratching it casually, to take away some of the tension amongst the three, and perhaps make this new stranger more comfortable around them. "It's certainly a gorgeous morning to come out to the lake, isn't it?"

Dae:
A pup awoke. Within a small den underneath a sapling, Dae rustled, eyes closed, searching for the bodily warmth of his sister and mother. First he heard voices outside, one he recognized as his mother, the second was Kim's chipper tone, but there were two new ones he had never heard before. He blinked his oceanic eyes open and stretched out across the straw-like nesting material. He was not particularly looking forward to another awkward conversation his sociable mother would drag him into, but he smelled fish, and his stomach growled inside him, so he padded out of the den in a hop-like manor, dragging his defected leg behind him. It was always inconvenient, but it was something he had to live with, and had for the most part gotten used to.

He poked his head out and squinted in the sunlight. Before him was Mama and two other wolves having a friendly conversation, but he spotted Kimiko in the corner of his eye by the lake, probably catching fish. If he could just sneak by his mother and make his way over— "Dae!" Mama called cheerfully. Dae froze, then slowly turned his head in her direction. "Hmm?" he responded. "Come meet these nice wolves," she turned back to the strangers, "this is my son, Dae. Look how strong he is! Kim and Dae will surely be much lankier than I'll ever be. Ahahaha! Sometimes I wish he'd be more athletic, ya know. Yes, with his disability it can be difficult but– come on over here, now, mister! —physical fitness is important for every pup's growth. But Dae is a very sweet pup! Though if he were a little more friendly with others– he needs some friends –he would be better off if—" Dae zoned his mother out as he dragged his hind leg along with him. He turned to Kimiko who noticed he was up, and gave her a "help me" look. She returned it with an "I'm sorry" look followed by a "don't be ungrateful" look. Kimiko always valued a chance to socialize just like Nishi.
