Tempest {Sheba} A unexpected visit

[solna]

Tempest

((Sorry I've been gone for so long! School started back in the beginning of August for me! We've already finished the first quarter.))

The grueling summer sun bore down unto the valley. It revealed a particularly lost wolf, purple and grey, that looked like electricity. The wolf hopped from to and fro, not knowing what to do today. 'It's almost Autumn, isn't it?' It thought, stopping for a second to examine a wilted, brown leaf. It was probably carried over by the wind, because there was barely any tree in sight. This wolf didn't remarkably care to much about how the cycle of life works, the change of seasons, or even how pups were made. She just paid attention to what was in front of her. It being murder, or a deer. She just skipped along a path, not having a destination in mind, and bobbed her head to a tune that doesn't even sound good.


Ah, summer. Tempest's least favorite of all the seasons. Why? Because of the heat unpleasantly poking her with it's rays of light. She tried asking very politely for it to stop, but the sun just kept on poking and poking and poking. And she didn't even have that thick of a coat! The sun just hated her. And it hated her guts, like Ayre. You know, the sun is like Ayre's twin, not Tempest. She didn't even know where she was going or what she was doing, other than complaining about the dang sun. Her gut said, 'Hey, you know what we could do instead of sleeping all day like you wanted to? We could follow this untrustworthy path leading to probably nowhere!' And her mind said, 'I could honestly care less.' So guess where Tempest is now... Yep! Following her gut. (In her opinion, the gut is the sketchy one.)


Tempest hummed down the path, which coincidentally lead to a cave that looked not totally abandoned. She flicked her tail one way, then another. "This totally doesn't seem like a bad idea!" Tempest exclaimed. It was hard to tell if it's a joke with Tempest, even for her. She stopped in front of the yawning cave and tilted her head in a I-can't-see-at-all kind of way. Then she peered gently into the cave, searching for signs of inhabitance. She couldn't find any, so Tempest shrugged and entered. She smiled and called out, "HellllloooooOOOOO?" in a weird way, to which she giggled. 'I'm so... quirky.' Tempest thought. Then she remembered just then that she left her brother to worry. 'Oh well. I'm not marching down this darn mountain again because Ayre's going to flip. I actually don't want to be there when that happens.'


Tempest finally sat down in the entrance of the cave, giggling at her own wild thoughts.

An echoed voice bounced down through the cave to swiveling white ears. Down within the cool cavern, Sheba was easily escaping the Summer’s heat so naturally, she had a grin spread as her face as she trotted through her cave. The White Wolf paused as the voice reached her. A visitor! Sheba was about to teleport to the entrance to greet them, but she hesitated as she considered the heatwave that awaited her. Wouldn’t it be worth it to have an exciting conversation with a wolf? Absolutely!

Sheba popped into existence in front of Tempest. ”Hello, mortal!” she said cheerfully with a smile. Then the temperature hit her and Sheba groaned. It was way hotter than she’d anticipated. ”This won’t do at all,” she grumbled. With a swish of her tail, she teleported both herself and her visitor to a room deep within her cave system, full of chill pools of water. The ceiling was coated with enchanted crystals of Sheba’s own creation. Each shone a different color and was reflective of Sheba’s eyes. Both wolves stood in a particularly larger pool. The water came up to their bellies. Sheba sat, sinking a few inches into the liquid with a relaxed, ”Ah… Much better…”

”Now! To business! What brings you to my abode, Tempest?”

((It's really bad, I know XD))
Tempest

There was a popping noise, like a bone breaking. Then, a wolf was in front of Tempest. ”Hello, mortal!” The wolf cheerfully stated. Temp's eyes widened. "WOW! Unexpected, for sure. 10 out of 10. Wait, 15 out of 10 because I'm pretty sure that was MAGIC." Then, she was suddenly teleported. 'Teleportation... very impressive. Very useful.' She pretended to analyze in her mind. 'Pfft. I'm not Ayre. I don't judge every little thing anyone does.' The ceiling was covered in an array of magnificent colors, each held it's own spot in the opposing wolf's eyes. Tempest and she stood in a pool of water that tickled Temp's belly. She silently giggled.

”Now! To business! What brings you to my abode, Tempest?” The wolf asked. Tempest sank into the water without questioning if this would kill her. That'd have to wait, this water was nice. "Well... Ayre was being really annoying. So, to annoy him, I ran off, following my darn gut. I ended up in your cozy abode afterwards." She said like it was something you do everyday, worry the heck out of your brother just to get back at him. At least, that's what Tempest does on a day to day basis. Then, reality bit her in the rump, and she looked at the regal wolf in front of her.

"No offense, but I have no clue who you are. You seem important. Very important. And here I am, intruding on your home."

Then even more realization slapped Tempest.

"You know my name? Oh goodness, I messed up again, didn't I? You might as well be a goddess, and I a clueless peasant. You know, Ayre told me that I was oblivious. Wait, what does oblivious mean?" Safe to say, she rambles when she's nervous.

A power was what most visitors sought when they traveled up the mountain. It was refreshing to have someone not want one of the things every now and then. ”You think your brother’s annoying? You should meet my sisters. Taboo’s always so preachy. ‘Yes, I know it’s not Good to turn wolves pink! Why do you get to define what’s fair or good or right anyways?!’ That’s annoying. Then don’t even get me started on Geist! She's a bit of a maniac, sometimes.” Sheba laughed. She didn’t often get the chance of a casual conversation. However, Tempest was catching on quickly to Sheba’s true nature and had started rambling.

When she finally took a breath, Sheba took the chance to respond. ”To not know something or somebody of extreme import, I suppose,” Sheba smiled, ”I guess it's up to me to cure you of your serious case of Oblivious-itis.” Then in an exaggeratedly fancy tone, she continued, ”My name is Sheba and I am one of the White Wolves for which this illustrious valley is named, my dear Tempest.”

Tempest

Tempest sat and listened to her explain her sisters were either insane or angelic. She waved her paw at the wolf in mock exasperation. "I feel like Ayre is in between downright CRAZY and a good child. He once said that it's rude to place fire ants in someone's nest. There's no please in him!" She groaned and sank deeper into the water. Her ears perked up at the word Oblivious-itis She giggled and idly made waves with her tail. They started small, the slowly grew.

”My name is Sheba and I am one of the White Wolves for which this illustrious valley is named, my dear Tempest.” Tempest's eyes became saucers. 'That makes much more sense.' Temp thought, then imagined a bunch of pure white wolves bounding around, calling each other the wrong names. They did all look the same, in her visions. Sheba seemed fun, and if the rumors that completely left her mind were true, then this simple wolf has all the power in the world. Sheba could give her a piece.

'That's not why I came here.' Tempest reminded herself. 'I want friends, for once. And Sheba might enjoy a break from requests.' A little voice in her might argued, saying that this wolf could make her powerful.

"Shut up, little voice. You sound a lot like Ayre." She subconsciously spoke aloud. Tempest kept with her little game of wave-making. She then trained her eyes on Sheba.

"Do you want to hear a story about me and Ayre? I promise, it's funny. Also, do you have a cure for stupidity." Tempest paused with a giggle. "I think you'll find out why after this little, uh... Adventure.."
