Bokahilla (joining thread)

[Deleted]

Bokahilla wandered up to the border of Eternal Snowfall slowly. It was late night, and the stars were shining so bright. As she was walking, she stumbled on a stone clumsily. The stone was a large one, but small enough for a pup like her to walk over. She was breathing heavily after walking a long distance to get to the border. The tired wolf walked to the very edge of the border. She breathed in a long breath of cool air. She then let it out in one loud, strong howl.

Piala:

A single howl called the aging alphess. It was from the border. Piala sighed, rising to answer the call. The only activity in this pack seemed to be on the border. She happily accepted new members, hoping they would bring a new liveliness to the quiet territory. They hadn't yet. New members joined Eternal Snowfall then just seemed to disappear, living their lives quietly and independently within the safety of Tranquil Meadows. Piala had no quarrel with the peace, but Eternal Snowfall had no unity. Piala supposed it was her fault. She cared for this pack. It was her job to gather them together and keep them safe. She may be old, but that still was hardly an excuse. If only there was someone who Piala could pass the pack onto. She stayed in her den most of the time, resting, and didn't know her wolves very well. If only Bloodbath or Kanut were still around. Perhaps she could at least make an effort to get to know a couple if her wolves. Maybe one would strike her as a leader and Piala could give away her position to more capable paws. Piala might leave this life soon and without a successor, Eternal Snowfall would die with her.

Piala reached the border, consumed with her thoughts. Her eyes found the wolf that'd howled and Piala brushed aside her worries to focus on the possible member. She was hardly more than a pup, no she was a pup. Alone and obviously exhausted, the pup's multicolored eyes drooped with her tiredness. How had she summoned such a powerful howl? Piala crouched to the youngling's level. "Hello, little one. My name's is Alphess Piala. This is the border of Eternal Snowfall. You look exhausted. Would you like somewhere to sleep, maybe something to eat? Where are your parents?" Piala had no questions as to the pup's alliance. She would care for any pup in need.

Bokahilla sighed heavily before she spoke because she was very tired. The wolf who approached her seemed to be very kind to her. Bokahilla said, "Hello. I am Bokahilla."
She could not say very much. She was too exhausted. She did however manage to gasp, "I would like to join the pack." The wheezy breath coming from her was very loud. She collapsed from being so tired. What she needed was food. Food and rest. She was too weak to say more, though. She could not tell the wolf what she needed. Her bones ached and she knew her back left one had something wrong with it. She waited for Piala to speak.

Piala:

Bokahilla. A strange name, but no stranger than most in the valley. The poor thing was wheezing with exhaustion. At her request, Piala smiled, ”Of course, you can join!” The pup obvious needed more than to just join. She needed the care of the pack, the stability, and resources. ”We’ll take good care of you. Don’t worry,” she comforted the pup, ”We’ll get you something to eat and you can rest in one of our dens at the copse. Here I’ll take you there.” Piala carefully picked up the pup. ”Are you comfortable?” Piala checked. She had to be sure that she wasn’t hurting the pup in any way before she started off towards the copse.

Bokahilla thought that Piala was very kind. "Thank you. I am comfortable except that my back leg hurts and I think it's broken." The tired pup knew that she had made the right decision, asking to join the pack. And for the first time in a long time, she felt safe. She breathed heavily as Piala carried her. She then started thinking. Thinking about the future. She wondered how it would be for her now that she had joined the pack. Would all the wolves like her being in their pack? Would the wolves want to be her friend? Or would she always be alone? Her thoughts trailed on and on, until she realized that she would be fine, and that already, she had Piala to trust.

((No worries! ^^ The mobile doesn't have the word count so it can be easy to miss. You could try switching to view the desktop version, instead, if your phone can do that.   That should have the word count showing. I'll edit this post with my reply soon!))

”Piala:

”We’ll do our best to fix that up too.” Piala reassured Bokahilla. She padded towards the copse, careful not to bounce the injured, exhausted pup in her grasp. She had to find this pup everything it needed, but Piala doubted whether she could provide everything that the pup needed on her. She was getting old and her movements slow. Sure, she could take her to the copse and get her shelter there. Maybe she’d even manage to get water from the creek with some moss or something, but hunting was another matter. Piala had hunted less and less for herself as the seasons passed.

She’d have to recruit some help from her pack members. As they names flicked through her mind, Piala was dismayed to once again realize how distant she’d grown from them. At least there was one that she’d greeted personally and had noticed roaming the territory. Piala set the member in her mind. Hopefully, she could give the pup the extra help Bokahilla needed.

-Exit Piala-

((I’ll start up a new thread in the copse tomorrow after I get a hold of another Eternal Snowfall member to help Bokahilla. Also, be sure to post an update in the Pinboard announcing Bokahilla’s acceptance into Eternal Snowfall so we can get it changed on the character list. )
