Atra(Taboo) (closed)

Atra:

Atra's tall form cheerfully bounces along on her journey to the goddess wolf. She desired a nice power to assist the ones she cared for. Her hazel eyes glanced around taking in the scenery starting from the ground up where she stood to the very top of the mountain in front of her. Her feet turning from a light-tan shade to a slightly grungier, greyish color. Being this close to taking an extreme step in her ability made extreme nervousness wash over her. Taking a few deep breaths she starts to hike her way up to the dark opening of the cave where her fate of whether she would live when a battle struck out or perhaps not be so fortunate.

The females long legs step over rocks and jump up the mountain's edge eventually reaching the cave. She stands in front the entrance not wanting to invade. "Excuse me..," She begins shyly, suddenly losing the enthusiasm she had just a few hours ago. Taking a deep breath she musters up enough courage to speak once again and calls out in a soft, sweet voice, "Lady Taboo, I am looking to gain a power." The echo she creates is louder than anticipated and it slightly startles the wolf. Atra takes a step back from the cave allowing more of the sun to hit her back and giving more space to the opening of the cave.

Taboo;

Atra had come to her at last. Taboo lifted a brow, unseen from the darkness that she en-robed herself in. Her den was not for mortal eyes, though many and more tried to come in. They often didn't leave with what they had hoped—but still, Taboo was more gracious than her sisters.
Taboo listens to Atra's thoughts as she climbs the mountain. Ah, she was quiet and shy, not unlike Taboo herself once was... but she had a strong heart. She felt compelled to keep those around her safe. In her future, Taboo even glimpsed her joining a wandering pack and standing at the front lines. A dangerous place for one so quiet—but maybe she would find her voice yet.

She started by introducing herself, when she actually made it to the cave, as well as kept her distance from the actual den's mouth. So far so good. Taboo smiled from the darkness, still unseen.
"Atra," Taboo said, her voice floating out from the darkness like music. It was early morning still, but the summer sun was already taking the chill out of the air; even still, the air around Taboo's den warmed just slightly more, making it a comfortable place to be. "A power, you say? And which might that be?"

Atra;

Even though the sun had been warming her back, it didn't keep the voice from giving Atra a slight shiver in anticipation. She makes sure she keeps a respectful distance from the mouth of the cave, knowing it would be rude, and possibly detrimental to her chance of gaining a power.

Thinking for a moment, Atra's eyes wander to the ground almost as if to search for a power to chose. Any power that was to do with fire was far too destructive for Atra, nor did she want there to be a higher chance of injuring her packmates and herself. Venom was also not a power she desires to attain. Electricity was also one that she felt was fairly destructive due to being able to accidentally injure herself. Taking a deep breath, the female looks up toward the dark cave.

"I think that Siren would be best." Being Atra is very quiet and the power she desired was the loudest and most vocal was extremely ironic. She was looking to finally be able to protect the ones she cared about, instead of remaining a bystander in war. Siren, being a vocal power also might allow her to gain the ability to be more confident, and maybe even allow others rely on her for once.

Taboo;

Siren, eh?

A popular gift as of late. Not even a season past, Taboo had given Onyx, a female with next-to-no vocabulary, the very same gift. Taboo had to give it to her good wolves, though—none had been so foolish as to come to her searching for fire. Taboo had never given out such a gift, for there was naught to be had from fire but danger and destruction. Fire was very popular among mortal evil wolves, Taboo had discovered; and yet, suddenly Siren had become almost as popular of an option with her own kin.

"Siren..." She mused, listening to Atra's thoughts about why she wanted it, and how she would use it. "You do know, I trust... that with such a gift there would be no designating between whose mind you pierced and who you kept safe." For a half-second, Atra's mind would be filled with the kind of splitting-headache that Siren caused in all those who heard it. After a moment it was gone—Taboo was not a torturer. It was merely a taste of what Atra would do to those she loved, if she ever sctivated her power near them. "I'll admit, there is a power I had in mind for you, and one that I thought you would pick—but it seems you've come in the wrong season for what I had deemed appropriate..." Her white tail wove lazily back and forth in the air, and though she smiled, she then slowly shook her head.

"I don't believe Siren is for you, dear Atra. But there is a gift that I believe well-suited for you, and you for it. You will not leave today with the original power of your choice—but if you can guess what power it is that I intend for you, I will allow you to come back in the correct season and gain it for yourself." Taboo tilted her head gracefully. "You have two guesses, and I shall give you two hints. This power lives in either Autumn or Winter, and it is not an elemental gift." Her eyes sparkled kindly as she waited to see if the female would make her guess.
It could go one of two ways. Atra could either become frustrated that she did not gain Siren and leave, or she could try her hand and guess, and perhaps gain something rather than nothing.

Atra;

Smiling to herself, Atra nods and once again looked around trying to think of the power, enjoying speaking to a friendly soul more comfortably. Being that she would always choose to protect instead of attacking, she knew it most likely wouldn't be an offensive power. For her Barrier seemed most appropriate. It wasn't an offensive power, and it would allow her to not only protect herself but protect the others around her if she had practiced enough.

"Might it be Barrier?" Atra tilts her head wanting to find out what the answer is. She had a sweet smile painted across her face, enjoying the little quiz that Taboo was giving her. Understanding that Siren wouldn't fit her personality and true intentions best, wanting to protect herself, and later multiple wolves, such as Barrier, would be a better fit for her and it would also be much more of a comfortable power for her to protect as it most likely wouldn't disturb others, accidentally, as she's using it.

Taboo;

Taboo blinked as Atra brought forth the very power she had intended. She hadn't looked into the future to see what Atra's guess would be, and as a result, came out pleasantly surprised. Taboo smiled, wiping the expression of slight shock from her face; at least, as shocked as a White Wolf really could be.

"Now who is the all-knowing being, you or I?" Her smile widened, and her eyes drifted to a lazy lavender-colour, then she gave a nod. "Barrier indeed. Your goal of becoming a Scout with the—what are they calling themselves again—the Outcasts? That quest shall only be aided by Barrier." She dipped her head, and then disappeared with a flash of white light.

"Return in Autumn," Came a whisper just before the light faded.

(Do I just go ahead and make a new thread right now?)
Atra;

Atra smiles in return to the Goddess' words, nodding gingerly before turning her back toward the cave's opening, once she disappears, seemingly into thin air, trotting happily down the mountain. The sun further enveloping her body in a nice warm hug as she moves further away from the cave. She has just a single thought in mind, gaining a new power next season.

Hopping down the rocks, she makes her way back to where she'd come from to wait for Autumn, growing more excited the more she thinks about it. Anticipating her next visit with the peaceful, kind White Wolf, she'd recently met.

Exit Atra

[Meds]

((Yep, go ahead! Just make an OoC blurb above your in-character part, linking them back to this thread so they can see it and know what Taboo said. It might not be me that takes it, as we typically go in order, but that way whichever staff takes it will be up to date ))

(Okay! Thank you so much!)
