Scorpius set the small, warm bundle of fur gently in the sand. Volka was so perfect. He should be awaking soon. Scorpius prodded his son lightly with one paw. "Volka? Volka? Are you in there?" he called quietly. The sand moors stretched for what seemed like miles in all directions. They sloped slightly near the mountains as this place was nestled between foothills. Luckily there was no breeze currently, otherwise the two would've been sand blasted by now.

Off in the distance the valley stretched out, the dying colors of autumn slowly switching into winter. The frost lay more heavily in the cracking ground, making his pads wet as his body heart melted through the layer of ice. "Volka? It's me, your father."

Volka

He felt something on his side. Mommy. Just a little more sleep... His groggy mind made him long for the comfort of sleep, but he felt something looming in the back of his mind. Despite his deep desire to curl into a ball and sleep, Volka felt his eyes creep open. At first, his vision was blurry and the figures in front of his eyes swam unnaturally. He waited a second for his eyes to adjust. A wolf towered over him. Volka could hear him speaking and see his lips moving, but he couldn't quite register his words. Did he say father? I don't have a father.. He was confused. Why did this wolf say he was his father? Mommy never said anything about their daddy. "Mommy!" Volka recalled his mission and how this wolf had come between him and his mission. he jumped to his feet in preparation to run back to his mom, but his head spun. Dizziness overwhelmed him and he fell back. In his dilerious state, Volka yelled at the wolf. "I want to go back to Mommy!"

Scorpius was worried that he had hurt Volka somehow in bringing him from the red woods to here. Was he okay? When his light blue eyes -Echo's eyes- fluttered open he was relieved. "Oh good, you're alive!" he let out the breath he didnt know he was holding. The sand swished under his paws as he lifted much ofvthecpressure off his two front paws.

"Your mother is far away now." Scorpius said in his most comforting wolf. "I'm here now, I'll be the one taking care of you from now on. Are you hungry?" if he was hungry he could always go find an old cache from previous hunting capades. The ashy grey make bent down to nose the ditzy pup.

Volka

Sitting from the ground, Volka began to notice the resemblance between himself and this wolf. He had the same grayish pelt and stripe down his back. He and mommy looked very similar. Perhaps that's why he and Ursa had both gotten the stripe down their back. Volka cocked his head to the side. Then why didn't daddy stay with us? Mommy hadn't talked much about daddy, just saying that "he wasn't with us anymore." That implied a lot of different things, but mommy looked so sad that they never bothered to ask. Since he was standing here in front of him, Volka took that as they had separated. He looked at the large wolf. "Did mommy give me to you? Does she not want me anymore?" Although he didn't cry, his voice was brought up an octave in his distress. Volka looked at the wolf. He wouldn't mind living with him, but did mommy send him away? "Did I do something wrong?"

Scorpius sat down to listen to this tiny wolf. He but his lipto keep himself from getting too emotional. "No no, Volka. Your mother loves you with every fiber she has in her. As you are my son I thought I could bring you with me. I will train you to be the best wolf you can be, hunt the best, fight the best. And teach you to never make the mistakes I did." Scorpius lowered his large head to Volka's level and nosed his cheek.

"Your mother and sister live you very much." he reassured him again. Scorpius looked into his sons eyes, hoping he would understand. Everything he said was true, he just left out the part where Echo probably despised Scorpius and would probably give her life so that Volka could stay away from him.

Volka

The pup nodded his head. So mommy had sent him with his daddy to get stronger. Volka puffed out his chest. He would work hard and make mommy proud. When he saw her again, he wanted to be big and strong! Volka smiled and looked up at the big wolf. "Okay! I will work hard to train for mommy!" His tail wagged and he could hardly stay sitting. Volka would have jumped up, but he was still a little dizzy. Instead, he sat and wagged his tail, excited for the adventures to come. He was going to have so much fun with his daddy! Volka finally gave in and hopped to his feet. A little bit of dizziness made him rock, but he stood his ground. "So, what are we doing first, Daddy?" His eyes shined as he awaited a glorious mission. Then his stomach growled. Volka froze and looked at his dad sheepishly.

Scorpius smiled sadly. He was doing this for Echo. How sweet. Right then Scorpous made a vow. When Volka reaches young adult hood he would return him to his mother. He looked at Volka, he was the spitting image if himself. What a shane. It would've been better to look like echo, because now just looking at Volka, some wolves will be reminded if Scorpius. Sadly, he knew Volka would gain many enemies. That's was another reading he was here. To train and prepare his son.

Scorpius laughed as Volka's stomach growled. "It seems that your belly has chosen for you, I shall teach you how to hunt." The ashy grey name smiled at his son, his dark blue eyes shining with laughter. Most pups learned how to hint later, like Ruko probably was now. But Volja was not most pups. He was a Child if Savu. Scorpius learned that to beck e a great hunter, you must start as a pup, with the small things. He felt that Volka would not like to kill anything just yet. So today they would learn how to capture, and Scorpius would hunt to kill.

((Would you like to start a new thread so they can hunt, or stay here?))

[Deleted]

((I think that they should move on, there is not very much prey that would be here in the autumn. Shall we move to the grasslands?))

[6dewdrops]

((Sure))

[Deleted]

((I will tag you! Unless you would like to make the thread this time?))

[6dewdrops]

((Nah. I prefer to let other people. Plus, Scorpius is teaching at the moment, so Volka should go second to learn from whatever he says.))

((Ok I will once I come back from the pool!))
