Baal (Taboo) [closed]

[emorli]

Baal;

Brisk steps carry the large male up the mountain quickly, as his paws try their best to grip the slick rocks on the mountain that are frozen over with a thin layer of ice. When Baal arrives at the mouth of the cave that houses Taboo, the White Wolf that gifts good wolves amazing powers, the beauty that surrounds the cave amazes him. Icicles that formed from water dripping from around the cave hang from the entrance and the snow that has been trampled down into a path from any wolf that decided to try their luck for a power makes the inside of the cave seem cozier.

Baal stands before Taboo's cave, his breath looking like a dragon spitting out smoke. The winter cold causes a shiver to roll through his body, his spine twitching ever so slightly. "Lady Taboo, I've come to seek a power that you see fit for me." Baal's voice is confident and clear, but not arrogant, it still has a hint of respect laced within it. It's obvious, by the sound of his voice, that he is convinced that he is ready to get a power from one of the goddesses, and he knows it. He waits for a moment, not sure if Taboo would even answer him, but he already has his mind set on gaining a power, so even if she didn't answer him, his persistence would keep him coming back for seasons to come just so he could have the chance of getting a power.

Taboo;

From within the darkness of the cave, no reply issues. A cold breeze shuffles the leaves of the trees around them. Taboo, from within, does not feel cold;therefore, the only time the temperature reaches her is when she feels it through Baal’s own mind. Taboo stayed in his mind, contemplating things no mortal mind would ever be able to comprehend. Remembering a time before there was time. She was safe within the darkness, safe from prying eyes, but that didn’t not mean wolves would not come. Besides, she couldn’t stay within Baal’s mind forever, feeling the cold and the tingling of a life doomed to end. She sighed.

”Speak,” It came as if a breath on the wind, though it would sound plenty loud enough for Baal to hear. The den was still dark, Taboo remained inside... but she was listening.

Baal;

As Taboo's voice reaches Baal's ears shivers run along his spine because of the voice sounding like a whisper traveling through the wind and the strangely creepy vibe that came from it. It also didn't help much that he couldn't see into the cave as it was far too dark creating a void like feel and making it seem like he was just speaking to an empty cave. The cold seemed to become less the longer he waited, which usually it was the opposite way around.

"Hello, Lady Taboo. I soon hope to start up a good pack. I would like a power so that I can best protect them. Ice was the power I had in mind, however, I'm not 100% set on gaining that specific power if you believe it's better if I have another." Baal's eyes are firey and bold his personality projecting through his bronze orbs. The foggy-colored male never once faltered in his confident posture, but he made sure not to make it seem as though he was challenging the great goddess.

"So please, great goddess, tell me if I am fit to gain a power. If not, what can I do to change that?"

((Wow the body is exactly 200 words))

Taboo;

Taboo lounged in the darkness, choosing not to exit the cave nor allow herself to be seen.
”So hasty, Baal.” Her voice came out as a soft murmur. She was not exactly in the mood for giving out gifts today. Such things were taxing at best. She sighed audibly and searched Baal’s mind from the safety and solitude of her den. He had a strong mind, that was good if he intended to start a pack and be successful at it. She shifted through, tasting his thoughts and wondering to herself what she should do with him. He asked what he could do to change her mind. Ah, a mistake—for a goddess’ mind was rarely ever changed without her consent. She could sense his resolve though.

”Baal, you are not ready. I chose to give my gifts to wolves well-used to life in my valley. Newcomers often don’t quite grasp the magnitude of what my sisters and I do for them.” She smiled, in no way blaming him. ”You are strong enough without Ice. If you put your mind to it you really will start a pack.” Not to mention that there was already an Alpha in the valley that had the power of Ice. Fjord... his very name left a bad taste in Taboo’s mind. She shook her head, though Baal couldn’t see it.
”You won’t be leaving here with a gift, Baal—but you will be leaving with a goddess’ confidence that you can do anything you set your mind to, even without one.”

Baal;

"Ahh," He wasn't necessarily disappointed, in fact, he was quite happy with the outcome, however, he would probably try to come back for another power in the future, maybe after he's finally started his pack.

"I thank you for that, Lady Taboo. Every bit of inspiration really helps push me forward." Baal smiles into the darkness of the cave, assuming that Taboo will see it. Of course, taking into account that the goddess referred to newcomers not understanding what her, as well as her sisters, do, Baal will most likely do his best to learn as much as possible about her, her sisters, and the valley in general. Not only because he might wish to return and ask the great being for a power once again, but because it would be necessary for him to look over and protect a pack. Knowing nothing about your home would only allow for problems to go unfixed and unanswered to.

With a swift turn, Baal's feet start to carry himself down the mountain, but before he leaves he says his goodbyes,

"Until then, Lady Taboo," and with that, Baal leaps from rocks and down the snow-covered mountain until his feet his the softer ground and he goes off with the words of the goddess burned in his mind like a tattoo left as a reminder of his dream that he soon wishes to fulfill.
