The Loner In a Large World {Oblivioux/Lydia}

[Deleted]

Oblivioux

In the very early dawn, when the blue hue of the sky was just a faint sliver. A long distance traveler away from home named Oblivioux was peering through the forest, his bright green eyes piercing everything like two floating lights in the darkness. He had some trouble sleeping lately, due to a lack of food really but that honestly didn't do much for him. He usually was starving especially in his old back that he had to run off from due to terrible leadership within such. 

He mostly scanned ahead, instead of right at his feet, which could be a costly mistake with the creatures of the night still lurking in the darkness. Since he had no idea where he really was going anymore, him randomly tripping over something in the darkness, in his mind he thought was a tree root caused him to fall forward next to it. Oblivioux groaned slightly from the fall as he shook his head lightly and tried to look at what he tripped on. It was just a simple tree root... he sighed and continued on, wishing he'd have someone to warn him. He began to miss his pack... why did he have to leave everyone he knew or loved behind. He should've at least brought someone he loved with him... then again, she didn't love him back anyways, she probably wouldn't of come with him to begin with... He was the worst when it came to love, commitment issues are a pain.

Cold coral eyes glowed in the darkness; pupils wide to take what little light there was. These malicious orange hued orbs belonged to Lydia, a pretty wolf on the outside, but rotten within. She could be described as a bad apple, but she preferred the term, sucker punch. The sour shewolf was a merry cream color, her coat printed with a vibrant, fiery flower. Her pleasing demeanor and appearance hid what was truly inside. For Lydia was barren, a shewolf cursed with the misfortune of having no posterity. But Lydia took it as a blessing. She despises the selfish ways of he wolves, seeing them as the inferior sex.

She now lurks in the thick brush and foliage that fills in the space between the trunks that make up the forest of love. Soft moonlight was scare to be seen as it had only been a sliver if rock that hung in the dark sky. Many stars had glistened above like pin pricks in a deep blue paper. But now, with the beginning of dawn bursting over the east mountains, the sky was a pale, opaque grey. Chalky grey clouds crowded the sky, brushing together with the promise of a thunderstorm. The trees around her were tinged a pinkish hue, the bright fuchsia leaves never fell here. Autumn had lost its crusty grip on this section of valley ground.

And so Lydia was here, angry that she could not yet see in the darkness. So it was that her frustration mounted as she scented another wolf nearby. And that frustration burst into a short moment of rage as she brushed against the creature. With a small growl of surprise, Lydia jumped back. "Who's there?" She snapped into the shapeless darkness.

[Deleted]

Feeling the brush of another wolf as he stood up made him jump away from the location of feeling the touch. He looked around, and hearing the female talk out, he simply remained quiet as his bright green eyes watched her, trying to adjust to the low lighting. The slight hints of clouds peaking out of the sky were able to slightly show the female in front of him, but he was still very dark, unless you count his underside, with it being tan. Other than that, it's nearly impossible to see him other than his bright eyes.

Though he almost felt rude by not responding to the female as she talked. He then woke up his vocal cords for the first time, in probably about 3 to 4 weeks and spoke, kind of groggily like he was tired. "One wolf, is all." He wasn't going to try to make it a thread, honesty was good, as well as just stating everything else that's obvious.

[Deleted]

Lydia breathed in the chokingly floral air around her, it's sweet perfume making her slightly dizzy. Shaking her head to clear the nausea she took a step forward to try and see him better. Nothing. Curse her eyesight. Nothing but glowing green orbs in the darkness. Narrowing her own eyes she crouched down, not making a move. She was curious and didnt want to continue her aimless wandering, but she also didnt want to strike up conversation. Instead she began to practice her power, eyes never leaving the males gaze from across the path.

Her powermark on her heart glowed a pale green in the darkness as soil began to move around her. She began to move the soil into flat plates of clay and pressed them to her body. The plates his her glowing mark and her pale fur, forming an almost rock hard armor around her gracefully thin frame. The sky lightened another shade, misty light shafting down in the tiniest amounts, Lydia was now able to see a splotch of light tan fur opposite her.

[Deleted]

Watching carefully as the wolf crouched down, he simply tilted his head and wondered about her. It certainly wasn't something new to him to see wolves do some certainly unique things, but it's still technically alien to him since he doesn't even know his power. He was forbidden to find it out, and he never learned about it. Yet he saw other wolves using powers just fine.

It was just one of the reasons he ran off from his pack anyways. He watched for a second longer and then finally spoke again. "Interesting." Just one word, one word was enough for him most of the time, but sometimes it wasn't for others. He remained quiet afterwards to see what the female would do at this point. He could see a little more of her at this point, some type of pattern on her fur, it looked lovely. Though he couldn't tell what it was still.

[Deleted]

Lydia shielded her body from the males eyes, hiding up her beautifully patterned pelt with armor of nearly rock hard clay. A portion if her strength sapped, the female ceased using the power Geist had so graciously bestowed upon her. The now armor clad she wolf stood as the light began to brighten. The glow in there eyes began to pale in comparison as the sun broke through the heavy veil of the shimmering mists of the heavens. Tilting her helmeted head, Lydia spoke.

"You've never seen a power before?" She huffed to this wolf of few words. If he hadnt seen the likes of her, perhaps he was new around here...that would explain why he was so quiet. But then again perhaps he was simply soft spoken. "You new around here?" She hissed in her permanent growl of a voice. Colors could now be seen around the forest, greens and browns mixing in with the fiery auburn and gold of fall. Yet each hue was muted in saturation, the sun just barely breaking over the peak of the distant mountain.

[Deleted]

Oblivioux watched the female continuously, and shook his head when she asked the first question. Though the second question caused him to pin his ears back at her growl. Why was she suddenly being aggressive towards him, it was actually starting to freak him out. He was completely confused at this point, what should he do. Should he run away and not even deal with it? But something told him to stay here so he though that was out of the question... Maybe he said something bad? What did he say? He said interesting to her about her power... Because he hasn't seen one before.

[Deleted]

Lydia was always aggressive and this w no different. Many compared her to an assertive male, but she hated it. She was better than those ugly, oily brutes. She fought and she killed, but she did so seamlessly. She was one of the seven sins. She was Envy. She would kill and kill and bite and kick, but that was her business. And frankly she was in a horrible mood. And it bothered her that this hidden male couldn't even bother to get out more than one word. Rolling her eyes, Lydia snarled. "It was just an innocent question." She spoke in a teasing way. She wasn't sure how her attitude could shift so quickly, but she was fine with it. Many ill suited wolves, however, did not.

[Deleted]

Oblivioux was still one to be slightly worried, and unknown upon what he should do at this moment in time. Perhaps he stumbled into the wrong area? Well... To be fair, he was following the river to a new life. Getting away from his forsaken path and family that was always around him, hovering over him, wanting him to be a great wolf to all of those around. They wanted him to be a leader, but that was something he did not want to do. Though he slowly returned his ears to pointing straight up, and relaxed a bit once the female had sort of toned down herself. He nodded very slowly and then decided to speak an actual sentence to her for the first time. Even though he has said a few things, but never actually put words into the context that was of a sentence. "Yes, I am new here... Where ever, here is." Was all he conjured up to say to the female as he sat down looking at her, studying her. He didn't want to be lashed at for making a stupid remark.

[Deleted]

Lydia sat, petite form resting poised on the ground. She sat in such a way that looked more like predatory perch or crouch. Her haunches quivered, she was ready to leap at any moment. This was as she always was, ready, alert. The cream shewolf sighed, rolling her eyes. "Let me fill you in." She spoke, her voice lilting in a laugh. This wolf was curious to her. He obviously used his words sparingly, maybe she could tolerate this one? Just for awhile anyways. His quietness had helped her calm down from her previous confrontation. Why can't she ever just run into females? They were much more civilized, less brutish and annoying. They didnt have the same look in their eyes. Though they too could grate on ones nerves. All the preppy happiness and bubbling about motherhood, or their snide remarks and vicious words. But here Lydia was, having a one sided conversation with a male who didnt know where he was.

"This is the valley over which the legendary White Wolf Mountain presides. On those slopes lie four white shewolves. WhiteMagic; the great healing Mage. Taboo; the sister of good. Sheba; the sister of neutrality. Abd Giest; the powerful sister of evil."

[Deleted]

Oblivioux took her words into account carefully. Wanting to make sure he didn't have her repeat anything that she may have said. She seemed like that kind that would probably smack him upside the head if he were to ask again. So he did his best to nod at everything she was stating, and also repeat it in his own head so she doesn't need to repeat it.

'WhiteMagic; the great healing Mage. Taboo; the sister of good. Sheba; the sister of neutrality. Abd Giest; the powerful sister of evil.' He repeated in his mind and then looked right into her eyes and nodded once more. "What else should I possibly know about this... strange, location?" He questioned, almost being careful about using the word strange. He thought it might be possible that it could offend the she-wolf, he almost wanted to take back saying the word strange. But it was too late now.

[Deleted]

Lydia rolled her eyes and the black center if her flower glowed green. Soil rose around her once more, forming a small solar system as they orbited around her. "These white sisters obviously give gifts. And sometimes they curse." the cream shewolf then narrowed her coral eyes, her little planets crashing together to form one, paw-sized blob. She stared i enamels at him, not caring what he would think. After drinking in every fine detail, she began to carve away at the blob of earth. Small shavings peeled off, revealing what was clearly this males face. Detail by detail the figure was created. His fit but slim figure, his lonely, careful eyes. His cautious wagging tail and his claw tipped paws. There now stood a three inch high clay figurine in front on Oblivioux. It was him. Using her powers the little wolf walked forwards, then began running towards its lookalike. The little golem ran frantically around the makes paws, tiny dirt tongue lolling out if its tiny jaws.

[Deleted]

Oblivioux lifted one paw at the little dirt figurine of him running around. He did not seemed to be too scared of it now that he knew what was going on, but he was still looking at it cautiously and weirdly. Not sure what to do. He looked up at the she-wolf and then asked "What are you doing exactly?" His words still seemed a bit on the sketchy side, like he was not sure whether or not he wanted to actually trust this wolf or not. Even though so far she has been angered at him for no reason, she seems to create an exact dirt replica of him that is currently running around him in circles. Yet not one hint of kindness towards him, though she did calm down after he actually talked to her.

[Deleted]

Lydia rolled her coral eyes as she continued to move the little clay wolf around. "Playing." She lifted the golem into the air and sat it upon the males head. "Ibviously." She let out a sharp laugh. Maybe this male she could tolerate, he apparently tolerated her outlandish cruelty and incoherent moodswings. Maybe she could go from tolerating to enjoying this male. He didnt seem to want to take advantage of her gender in anyway, he didnt seem to see her as a lower being either. Perhaps. Perhaps she could learn to like this wolf.....if he stuck around of course. In order for that to happen, they would need to know what to call eachother...."Im Lydia by the way." She said after a moments silence, she no longer glared at him as she did everything, her gaze had softened. She didnt know exactly what this wolf had done to make her open up ever so slightly, but Lydia liked this new emotion...perhaps not all males were loathsome scum.

Bending down in the brightening sunlight, she meticulously created another wolfish figure. This one slighter than the first, femininely petite, a cruel sneer on her tiny clay lips. Putting both golems into motion, she put both of them down on the ground, the figures sitting side by side.

[Deleted]

Oblivioux felt the figure land on his head, and he smiled looking up to see it and then looking at her as he chuckled very slightly. Though hearing her lovely name, Lydia, he smiled once more with a nod and noticed that she wasn't giving him a harsh state like she usually did, it was more softened. As she was creating another figure he decided that it was best to say his name now so he doesn't keep her waiting on his name as well. "I'm Oblivioux." he stated simply. He watched the two figures as they sat down, and he could tell it was her and him sitting next to each other. But with the way Lydia was asking, he highly doubt that she would ever even let him sit that close to her without trying to rip his eye(s) out or something.
