Akia;
Akia walked farther along into the tall trees. She wondered what that dream meant, or if it even had a meaning. She picked up her pace to a trot, seeing a tree that had strong looking roots. She stopped as she reached the tree. Akia walked around it. It was wide enough for her to make a temporary den. So she did.
Soon enough Akia was laying in a warm den under a tree. She slept, since it was early in the morning. And this time peacefully without having to run from some insane wolves in her dreams.

Bella;
Bella wondered around thinking about what she would do if she met a wolf. 'Oh, what if I meet a wolf that is my age.' She thought. 'We could be friends, we could play, and we could travel together. That would be fun.' Bella stopped when she saw a wolf. It was small, like her by the look of it. She bounded over to where the other female lay under a tree. She said as she sat down "Hi, my name is Bella. What's yours?".
Akia;
Akia woke up from her slumber hearing the words, 'Hi, my name is Bella. What's yours?' And to see another female, one that looked about her age. Akia slid out of the den gracefully. Then stretched, and said "Akia, did you come here for any specific reason? Or did you just come wondering around like me?" She thought to herself 'This Bella wolf seems friendly. Maybe we could be friends and travel together.'
Bella;
The she-wolf known as 'Akia' either wanted to be her friend or was just a genuinely kind wolf. She asked Bella why she was here. And Bella answered "I was wondering around, not having any place in particular to go until I found you here. And sorry for waking you up. I really didn't know you were sleeping." Bella stood as Akia did and stretched.
Akia;
She listened to the female with the name 'Bella'. She told Akia why she was here. Once Bella was done speaking Akia responded "It was no problem I was in a light sleep so I was listening to my surroundings and heard you coming, so I was already awake. Would you like to travel with me, since we are both just wondering around? I know it does get pretty lonely out here on your own with no one to talk to." She thought quietly 'And it would not hurt to have made friends, would it.' She hoped not. Akia started to enlarge the den so that Bella could sleep in it, so she would be less lonely. Akia knew how that felt, and did not want her to feel the same.
Bella;
Akia asked Bella if she wanted to join her, after stating that she was already awake. Traveling with friends is always better than traveling alone. So Bella said "Yes, that would be great. And we could finally have some company." Bella saw that Akia had made a den and was starting to enlarge it, and decided to help.
Akia; Bella;
Soon enough the den was big enough to comfortably fit both the she-wolves. They both decided that hunting would benefit them to have a good sleep for the rest of the morning. So they hunted. And successfully caught two good sized rabbits. They talked for awhile, then once finishing their food. Slept.

((OOC: I’m not sure if this thread is open, but may I join you? If not, just let me know and I’ll delete my post.)) Gale; The snow was crunchy, very crunchy, and Gale was having quite a fun time seeing which patch of snow could hold his large muscular mass. So far he had gotten twenty three steps above the snow, and... well many more that had broken through the crisp over layer. The pads of his paws were a little soar from the ice textured snow, but they were long ago numbed by the cold temperatures of the winter season. A hunt for another meal was his next goal, he hadn’t eaten in some time and finding prey in the bitter cold and snowy white landscape usually took longer and much more strategic planning than it would in the summer months. That meant the sooner he decided to start hunting down a small scent, the sooner he could get something in his stomach. So the process began and Gale busied himself with tracking down scents that crisscrossed through the large woods made up of large red-barked trees. It was absolutely awe-inspiring being in the presence of such ancient beings, walking along the root trails of the gloriously standing structures that reached high into the heavens and provided homes for many a creature. Gale turned his attention from his hunt for just a moment, gazing up into the shaded branches of the giant redwood trees. His heart filled with thanksgiving and his eyes closed with admiration as he breathed in a deep scent of the fresh perfume of the forest. The sweet moment was cut short as Gale also caught the scent of a wolf. His eyes opened and he glanced around, sniffing again. Was it females, he couldn’t be specific with how faint the scent was, so he set off to explore. Coming upon the most recent scents, Gale spotted a dugout from under the roots of a very large and firmly rooted tree, there had been much activity around the space Andy just seemed to be from two females. Unsure of how to approach, Gale took a slow and quiet scout around the perimeter of the area, making sure there wasn’t any other dangerous creatures around, that could harm those in the den. Not finding anything to be worried about, the blonde and teal pelted male took a spot not far from the entrance and lay down in a comfortable, non-threatening manner and waited. The time passed slowly, so Gale decided to have a little fun. From were he lay, he could see a few turned over stones from the den entrance, he hadn’t tried controlling stone from such a distance, so he thought he’d give it a try. With his mind he reached out and connected with the small stones, the solid pieces of earth clung to his presence and willing offered up their service, letting him lift them and draw them to him. Two small stones hovered in front of Gale’s grinning face and then began to circle each other. They faltered a few times, but Gale continued to progress with control and steadiness.

((OOC: Your fine, it was getting kinda lonely.))
Chris;
Chris trotted under the trees, making sure to be quiet just in case he encountered a squirrel or rabbit, or even another wolf. He came to a sudden stop smelling two female wolves and one male nearby. 'Oh, quit being a coward. Go and talk to them' He though silently. Though taking care to scan for a way out if anything went wrong and he needed to escape, Chris padded toward the group of wolves. As he got closer he noticed that the two females were sleeping. And the male, well he was laying by the females watching a rock. A floating rock. 'How strange' Chris thought. "Hi, I am Chris. How about you, who are you?" His question directed towards the male.

Bella;
Bella who enjoyed her rabbit, and slept well woke up feeling the presence of a wolf. Not Akia, but a male. She slowly raised her head and whispered to Akia "There is someone else here." Before she got up and stretched. She decided that meeting this wolf now would probably be no worse than meeting him later. Bella walked out of the makeshift den careful not to step on Akia. She soon realized that there was another male that had approached. She sat down waiting for Akia to come out.
Akia;
Akia heard Bella whisper "There is someone else here." And following that soft paw steps of her denmate leaving the den. Akia got up and stretched, then sniffed the air. Two males. 'Well' she thought 'Might as well join her' and walked out of the burrow like den. Akia saw that Bella was sitting a little ways away from the two males and sat beside her. A few seconds after she sat down she heard the smaller male ask "Hi, I am Chris. How about you, who are you?" The question seemed directed towards the other male, but Akia answered anyway. "I am Akia, and this is Bella." She said gesturing towards the other female. "Nice to meet you." Akia laid down awaiting the males' answer.

Gale;
The sound of snow crunching made Gale’s ears perk up and his eyes scan the woods. Concentration lost, the two stones dropped to the ground and Gale actually hoped the approaching stranger didn’t notice he had been floating rocks. The stranger, a young male walked casually up to him without hesitation and shared his name cheerfully before asking for his. Gale stood, his shoulders level with the others as he took a step closer and spoke, ”Uhh, Chris, a pleasure to meet you, I am Gale.” Gale was about to ask where the young male had come from or where he was going, but at that moment two little females came scrambling out of the den and sat next to each other. One of them answered the question for the other, sharing that their names were Bella and Akia. ”Bella, Akia, also a pleasure.” Gale had suddenly assumed that the three knew each other, especially by how casually Chris had just walked up to him and asked his name. ”Do you three know each other?” Gale raised his brow curiously as he observed the three young wolves. They all looked very unique and nothing consistent about any of them, yet they held themselves in a way that was similar.

((OOC: Is Gale in a pack? If not, I was thinking that they could start one.))
Chris;
Chris watched as the females both came out from under the tree. One before the other. He soon had the answer to his question. The she-wolves being known as Bella and Akia, and the he-wolf Gale. Chris found a comfortable spot to sit down, seeing as they might talk for awhile. Then Gale asked if he knew Bella and Akia. Chris responded "No, I don't think we do." Chris looked around getting accustomed to his new surroundings, which were the tree; that Bella and Akia had made a den under, and some more trees around that one. Chris also heard small, light footsteps that said a squirrel was near. He debated on going off to get it, or to stay and talk. He decided that the squirrel could wait, it was not like that would have been the first squirrel he had eaten in weeks because he just ate earlier that morning.
Bella;
Bella now knew the males as Chris and Gale. Gale seeming a bit older than her, Akia, and Chris who looked about their age. Gale also asked if the three knew each other. Bella was going to say that they didn't to her knowledge. But Chris spoke first "No, I don't think we do." So instead she said "No, we don't." She watched curiously as Chris looked around seeming to also hear the squirrel padding along on the forest floor. She chuckled. By now, if Chris was going to hunt down the squirrel he would have probably already left. But he didn't, so now they were stuck in an awkward silence.
Akia;
Akia listened carefully as the two male stated their names the older one was Gale. And the younger one, the one that looked like he was Bella and Akias' age was Chris. Bella also seemed to watch Chris look around, before hearing a squirrel's footsteps. Chris seemed to debate whether or not to go and give chase, but it looked like he decided to stay. When Gale asked if the three young wolves knew each other Chris and Bella both said they didn't and Akia well she just silently agreed with the two.

((OOC: Gale is not in a pack, but he is also not currently looking to be apart of one, unless they sway his decision.))
Gale;
Chris answered Gale’s question with a curious glance at the two females and a, “No, I don’t think we do.” The she-wolf named Bella reassured the answer and then began studying the other male, inquisitively watching his movements and actions. Both females had their attention on Chris, and Gale wasn’t quite sure what he was supposed to think about that. There was suddenly a lack of conversation, so Gale took up the responsibility and asked, ”So Chris, where do you come from? I see Bella and Akia have a home here in the Redwwod Forest, but you, do you come from beyond the valley?”
Seeing as the other three were laying down or sitting, Gale decided to take a spot on a snowy patch and wrap his tail around his paws. If these new acquaintances of his proved to be uninteresting, he might just go hunt down that squirrel that had passed by. But he would give the conversation a chance, and maybe these young ones would grab his attention.

Chris;
Chris turned his attention back to Gale, who asked where he came from. Chris thought about how he would reply and decided to tell Gale about'his' spot. "I live in Wildwater Falls. Along with my sister Lilia." He said. Now suddenly curious about where Gale came from he asked "Do you come from here?".
Bella;
Gale asked Chris where he came from, and soon found out he lived in Wildwater Falls. Bella having being bored, and wanting to stretch her legs whispered to Akia "I am thinking about catching that squirrel. What do you think?" Bella rose to her feet, and stretched. Once she was done, she sat down awaiting Akia's answer.
Akia;
Akia's attention was on Gale, the older male. She soon found out that Chris lived in Wildwater Falls. Akia soon dozed off. 'Neat place, but I wonder why I didn't see him when I was there.' Her thoughts being interrupted by Bella. Bella wanted to catch the squirrel, and wanted to see what Akia thought. Akia responded quietly, so the two males would not be bothered. "Sure, I will come with you. If we catch it, we should give it to Gale. Seeing as he looks like he needs it, and we ate awhile ago." Akia mimicking Bella's actions got up, and stretched. But instead of sitting down, she quietly trotted in the direction the squirrel went.

Gale;
Nodding with interest to what Chris was saying, Gale drew out a mental map of the valley and what he had explored before. Wildwater Falls was one of those places, and he remembered it lay on the western edge of the Hunting Plains. ”You and your sister? I assume she is not with you then?” Gale casually glanced around while flicking his tail and resetting it over his paws. Chris seemed like a responsible young male wolf who would be keen on protecting his family, so Gale asked, ”You’re young, are you and your sister looking to join a territory of wolves, or have you been wandering the valley for some time?”
Gale was genuinely curious to know more about Chris, he wasn’t just trying to find out information to use against him, he made it clear in his friendly attitude that he just wanted to get to know Chris’ present life journey. Chris seemed very open to sharing such knowledge, so Gale fed off of that; the two females however, simply sat and listened before losing interest altogether. They turned and whispered something to the other and got up and stretched. Gale thought he heard one of them whisper his name, but he ignored any possible suspicion, and continued to focus on the conversing partner. At that time, one of the she-wolves got up and trotted away from the den, the other following at her heel. Glancing after them, Gale noticed how strangely in sync the two were and how much they seemed to copy each other. It was slightly disturbing to watch, but the blonde he-wolf passed it by and didn’t think such a topic would be worth investigating.

Chris;
Chris noticed the two she-wolves left, but figured that they would be back as they had a home here in the redwood forest. Chris answered Gale "She is somewhere around here, she does like to wander off on her own sometimes but she knows how to take care of herself, and does not usually go far. And we have been wandering around the valley, Yes. But we are also looking to join a group of wolves, a good one." Chris having answered Gale's question, asked a question of his own "How about you, are you looking to join a group of wolves?".
Bella;
Bella followed Akia, alert and watching for any signs of movement or sounds of scuffling leaves on the way. She crouched down low, seeing a rabbit. It saw her and started running. She pounced but missed, and not letting the rabbit get away she sprinted after it. Still chasing the rabbit, Bella also noticed the surroundings were getting different. There were less trees and more open ground. - Exit to Hunting Plains -
Akia;
Seeing that Bella crouched down low, Akia sniffed the air. 'Rabbit!'. She sprinted after Bella and the rabbit. Playing smart, she got ahead of Bella and made a wide cemicircle and was slowly gaining on the rabbit that was more focused on where Bella was than were she was. - Exit to Hunting Plains -

Gale;
Gale's ear flicked and his head turned to watch the two females leave while still listening to Chris talk. His head whipped back to face the young male and focus wholly on his conversation about his sister. Somewhat more relaxed that the two females where gone, Gale stood back up and shook his pelt out. For some reason, he got the strangest yet smallest concern being around those two sister she-wolves. They didn't seem to talk as much as Chris, and they mimicked each other so well that it wouldn't be weird if there was some sort of a telepathic string tied between both of their minds.
"Hmm, wandering around, just like me." Gale glanced back in the direction that Akia and Bella had run off to, just to ease his consciousness before trotting around the den area and sniffing casually at different bird tracks or fallen twigs. "Well, I wouldn't say looking, but for sure have been taking note of the land I have explored." Gale tossed his had in the direction of where he had most recently traveled from, "There's a neutral allianced pack east of here, I can't seem to recall the name of. But if you go straight north, you'll run into Midnight Silence." Looking up from his curious sniffing, Gale faced Chris with more of a serious expression rather than the playful friendly expression he had had on earlier. A slight dent in his brow formed as he stared straight into the other male's eyes. "I'd stay clear of them, they are a strongly evil pack, and if you're looking for a good pack, I'd recommend you find yourself a bunch of fun loving wolves that share your views of life." By the end of his sentence his happy and friendly attitude was back and he smiled at Chris with a twinkle in his silver eyes.
"That's kind of the boat I'm in," Gale turned his face away from his new comrade and looked beyond the towering redwoods and beyond the softly falling snow flakes that just happened to be dropping from the sky. "But I haven't found other wolves who share my mindset, who view life with the same passions as myself..." There was a couple seconds of silence before Gale chuckled and pranced around the tree that the den was dug out from. "But who am i kidding, I'll just keep exploring this valley until I find them. Boy it's nice having someone to talk to!"

Chris;
"It is nice to have someone to talk to, I agree with you on that. But, can you tell me anything else about these packs?" Lost in his thoughts Chris was thinking in his own world about how nice I would be, for him and his sister to finally be in a place where they felt they belonged. 'Maybe if Gale wants to also find a good group, we could come with him.' Chris snapped back into reality, still debating whether or not to ask Gale if him and his sister could travel with him.

Gale;
Chris seemed curious about the different packs and territories that inhabited the valley, so Gale willingly shared all of what he knew about the variety of alliances and their specified packs of wolves that categorized themselves in each spectrum. Gale was honest though, he didn't know much.
"Well, I do know a bit more." Gale stood in thought for a few moments collecting all of the information he had gathered throughout the months of travel, and then looked back down at the dugout den. "I believe there is a good, neutral, and evil pack that take residence in the valley. Midnight Silence being the evil allianced pack, and I'm forgetting the name of the neutral one." Gale froze in thought for another couple of seconds before dropping the matter and continuing. "I told you both of their locations, but there is also a good pack I've only heard of that rests on the southern edge of the hunting plains." Gale stuck his head in the den mouth just a bit and surveyed the walls of it while still talking to Chris. He dragged his claws along the side of the den and scrapped the walls a bit more flat. "I haven't done much exploring down there, but would love to make it my next stop." Gale had his back turned towards Chris, but he still pronounced his words clear enough for the other to hear. Or at least he hoped he could hear his words while his front half was mostly in the den. The silver flower marked on his throat began to glow faintly as Gale reached out and touched a few small stones mixed in with the cold dirt. "There are a few other groups of wolves that are probably packs as well, but I usually steer clear of marked territories where I have no business." Gale moved the stones and situated them on the curve of the wall and pressed them flat to the surface, concreting the walls to stay solid and firmly held together. "It's best to stay safe when you're alone among strong alliances." Shifting more of the loose sand and dirt, Gale pressed the rocks together and flattened their shapes along the wall making the surface of the den much smoother than it had been before, but not soft. It was also much more secure, not expected to cave in or dirt-slide from the sides. He finished with a quote before backing out of the den and facing Chris. "If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together." He grinned in his friendly way and then shook himself clean of all the little dirt and debris.

Chris now was trying to figure out what Gale meant by his little saying. He thought back to what else the older wolf said, about the good, evil, and neutral pack. Chris then asked "When you said that you would love to go and explore there or whatever, I mean if you go, could I join you? That is if you want me to." He thoght some more about what he had just said, silently praising himself for actually trying to make friends.
