Might I Join? (Open)

 Wing padded forward. Her pure white fur glittered in the spring light. She smiled at the sky, happy. Wing rolled over in a patch of grass. She padded to the border of Havoni. She had grown up, her fur long and bushy. She was still short, but she was bound to be. She lifted her white head and howled. Wing's long fur glittered with some dew, and it was slightly stained green from the grass. Wing hoped her twisted leg would not unsettle the Alphess. Sure, Wing has a twisted leg with a splayed paw. But she was willing to help in anything.

"Hmmm...and who might you be? A loner pleading for acceptance no less?" Treason had been refreshing her territory markers nearby when she had caught the scent if this strange animal. She had found her just in time to hear her howl loud and clear. She was obviously here to join her pack as there was no air if confidence or dominance around her. She was not on a mission for an ally. The reddish alpha flexed her fully healed wounds. Well, there were many pink scars and they hurt daily. Just like the mountain sage White Magic had said.

This white wolf was strange indeed. Her wispy white fur dung around her like the mist from a cloud, though its etheral composure did not hide her deformity. Her leg twisted at an odd angle, undoubtedly giving her a difficult gait. Her paw was splayed as well, another misfortune. Under all that fur, Treason wondered if she was very skinny. Surely her crooked leg made it difficult to hunt. Treason surveyed this wolf's eyes. She looked like she had a strong will to survive, she would go down swinging. But she also looked tired, like she couldn't go in all alone. Perhaps being part if this pack was a good thing for wing.

Wing perked up when the Alphess came. She bowed out of respect, and then got back up, blue eyes glinting. Until the Alphess spoke. Kind of rude, what did I expect? I have a twisted leg and splayed paw, I'm bound to be singled out. she thought, her hopes plummeting. Wing was talented at catching mice, mice might be fast, but the days of tripping over her stupid hind leg that didn't face the right way were long over. It was extremely mismatched pouncing, but the splayed paw made for an excellent mouse trapper. She was skinny though. Just not as skinny as any other wolf with her deformity might be. "I'm Wing, and yes. I am." Wing said, hoping for all she was worth that she could have a new family to call her own. If she got in.

Treason nodded. Unique name, Wing. She seemed crestfallen at her words. Perhaps she was being too harsh? Her excuse was because of her constant pain, but she would have to get over that. "So tell me, Wing. What talents can you bring to Honovi? We do not accept wolves just because they need our bounteous prey and protection." The Alphess raised her brow sternly, a small smile appearing in her black lips. The bleak bluffs she lived in spread out behind her like a tan sea. This was her home that she shared with many wolves. She wouldn't mind sharing it with one more. But every wolf had to pull their weight in one way or another. Either by taking care of the young and old, hunting for the whole, or directing the pack.

She wondered what Wing could do. She seemed more of the motherly type, raising pups and care taking. But the shewolf could see some fight in Wing's eyes.

Wing straitened. "I can hunt small things, I'm good with my nose...." she faltered, trying to think of anything. The largest thing she had ever caught was a rabbit. She was not very good at being stealthy, she was white! She had never had any real training, unless you count being a self taught. She thought on it for a minuet "I can fight." she said, but she wasn't much good at it. She could use her twisted leg to her advantage, kicking out at a wolf behind her. Considering the fact that her paw was splayed on that leg, and she had claws, that could be a good weapon. She'd used it on a rabbit one. To be fair to the rabbit, it had been very old at the time and not all that fast, but it had worked, right? She looked down. She couldn't think of anything else. Well, she also hadn't tried anything else. So she didn't know a lot about her talents either.

Treason sighed as the white wolf struggled to come up with a suitable answer. The Alphess wasn't feeling very charitable. "Okay, sweetheart," Treason spoke with a forced endearing tone. "To be honest, I don't think you have what it takes to be Honovi. Though, Secluded Sunrise, a sprout of a neutral pack, would mist likely welcome you. They already have a three legged wolf, so what harm can you do?" the red Alphess turned away. "Though if you develop any...new...talents, I'm sure we could find a place." Treason's golden eyes glinted. "The white wolves hardly turn people away." Her tail swished mischievously. "Farewell Wing."

The Alphess of Honovi began to trot away, a little voice in her mind questioning her. Has she made the right decision? Was Wing an asset in a preys pelt? Dud she have a hidden talent? Perhaps Treason may never know. Sighing she sprinted over hills and around small streams, taking in the rustic, grainy scent of her bluffs.

Wing looked down as she was turned away. "Maybe I'm just cut out to be alone." she said quietly. She turned and left. all hopes of a pack diminished, the Alphess's words bouncing around in her head. Don't have what it takes. Three legged wolf. Couldn't do any harm. White Wolves. She left with a new goal on her list. So far, there was no checks.
Get a power
Get my revenge
Join a pack
Find someone who loves me
Have pups who never have to go through what I did
Visit the land of ice from my Mom's stories
Wing smiled as she ran it over in her head. And she left.
