New pack member?

[6dewdrops]

Phoebe howls in hopes of joining the legendary pack, Eternal Snowfall. Impatiently, she waits at the border to be judged by the almighty Alphess Piala. Howling in the late afternoon sun, Phoebe shifts her wait nervously. She will not be able to hold out much longer in her thin, starving state. Stomach growling, Phoebe waits.

A snowy white wolf plods through the trees that outline the border of the land. Her tail and head are held high and she is the picture of diplomacy. Her orange eyes scan the horizon as the scent of a new wolf reaches her nostrils. Responding the howl that summoned her and also following the strange new scent, Piala reveals herself to the new wolf. She sizes the female up, she looks sickly and on the verge of emaciation. Piala would not tolerate a wolf joining her pack merely for food, all members of Eternal Snowfall had to do their part and contribute to the pack. "My name is Piala." she said rather regally. The wind blew and rustled her fur, making her look billowy and ethereal. "I am Alphess of these lands that belong to Eternal Snowfall. Do you seek shelter here?" Piala licked her red speckled muzzle that looked permanently blood stained. The appearance was striking and gave her an "evil" look but she was proud to carry the streaks of red in her pelt as many of her ancestors before her.

Looking upon the wolf with awe, Phoebe bows her head in greeting. She does not know the mannerisms of packs but she did know how to greet. "My name is Phoebe. I have come to the land occupied by Eternal Snowfall to not only search for safe refuge, but to gain new companions." Having traveled far without much food, she began to sway. To salvage the small level of pride and dignity she had left, Phoebe looked into the eyes of the white Alphess. The orange eyes of the female wolf surprised her, but pushing away her astonishment Phoebe spoke. "I am a stranger to these lands and I am still young. I wish to start a new life in your pack if you are willing to take me." Using much of her remaining strength, Phoebe crouched into a submissive pose and waited for the response of Alphess Piala.

Piala listened quietly as the female spoke. She was awfully young and in more dire need of food than Piala had originally realized. Although young, she did have manners and Piala was glad that she knew how to introduce herself at the very least. The white wolf had come upon strangers to her land that were younglings who cowered beneath her with their tails between their legs. Piala nodded as the wolf spoke and stood silently for a moment before answering. "You are welcome here as long as you are of good alliance. You have my permission to join me and my subordinates but if I find you have dark intentions the punishment will be swift and agonizing." Piala hated to think about punishing any of her pack mates but as an alpha she knew it was her duty to uphold the integrity of the pack and keep them safe as well. "Phoebe I hereby proclaim you a member of Eternal Snowfall." Piala walked forward and nodded her head to Phoebe before turning around and walking to the trunk of a tree. She began furiously digging until she found a hunk of deer flank that she had buried in the winter. She was sad to see her private store go but it was one of many she had hidden around the territory in case of an emergency just like this one. She threw the meat down at the youngster's paws and her eyes softened a bit. "Eat. You need your strength." Piala turned around to leave her new pack member to eat in peace "You are free to explore the territory. The dens are not far from here, just follow my scent and you will find them. If ever you need me, just call." and with that Piala bounded away on cream colored paws to finish her round of border patrol.

ooc: Yay! Welcome to Eternal Snowfall! I'll change Phoebe's status to Eternal Snowfall Subordinate. Feel free to post anywhere in Tranquil Meadows

Wanting to meet the pack in a better condition, Phoebe ate and decided to stay the night in the cover of a nearby bush. She would follow Alphess Piala's scent in the morning. My mother would be proud, Phoebe thought as she drifted to sleep. Maybe I will make good friends in these new and strange lands. Will the pack accept me with open arms? I guess I will find out in the morning. The evening sun sets on the horizon as Phoebe's heavy eyelids begin to close. 

ooc: Thank you!!
