Will you see me?

Spring, so fresh and green. So unpredictable. This season of rebirth was as unpredictable and chaotic as life itself. One moment the sun would be shining merrily down on the valley, the next the sky wreaked its wrath in the form of violent thunderstorms. And yet, though all this change, life thrived. It thrived in the form of beautiful flowers, every color of the rainbow, doe-eyed fawns, and yipping wolf pups.

Valor found himself now, not in a jade green field, or a sprouting emerald forest, but a rosy, pastel wonderland. The atmosphere here was sweet and fresh, the trees parading their ornamental reams of mauve leaves.

To say that the pistachio male had stumbled upon this forest, in knowledgeable about its significance would be entirely false. Valor was here for the only reason that any make sought out the Forest of Love. Love. Valor wasn't quite sure how to go about it though. He knew he wanted a wolf who would cherish him, someone kind, clever. But he didn't know if this was the right way to go about it, if he was being too blatant. He didn't want to look like some desperate creep ready to throw his love out like it was replaceable. But Valor didn't know where else to turn.
There was a hole in his heart, a gaping chasm. He needed his other half. But no, there was no such thing as the other half. Valor was whole. Each wolf was their own. They were complete. A wolf could love more than one wolf in their time. Shiver, his mother, had told him that shortly after she accepted Zeke was never coming back. And so Valor stood in the shoulder-high grass, unsure how a wolf like him could find love.

He half dreaded and half longed for a wolf to come meet him. Dreading being seen as a pup at first sight. Dreading being dismissed as not even worth chatting with. Longing for some wolf to see who he really was. Longing for a chance!

Daisy waddled on in pain. One of her scars opened up again and she was feeling dizzy. When she noticed she was surrounded in pink was when she knew she lost to much blood. a forest of pink I must have lost to much blood there is no such thing, she said or herself. she kept walking into the pink forest when she stumbled. She couldn't get up from being to weak and she layed there waiting to die. She didn't even find a mate yet but if this is where she would end then be it. She steadied her breathing and closed her eyes waiting for death to come. She was hungry and bleeding that she looked like she had been attacked but no she was like this since she lost her family and became a loner.

Valor stood in the shoulder-high grass, probably chest-high to a normal wolf. He was a dwarfed wolf after all. He had been the runt of the litter for so very long, Shiver had been unsure if he would make it. But he had been fierce, refusing to give up. And even well into pup hood, he had proved himself quite capable if fending for himself and others. He remembered when he swore allegiance to Mist, protecting her in her travels. However she didn’t need him really.

He stood, searching with his dusty lavender eyes; searching when a strange black and grey wolf collapsed not far from him. Alarmed, Valor decided to investigate. He would never hesitate to help a wolf in need. A voice in the back of his mind earned him that perhaps this wolf was evil and was here to do ill will. However, being a noble and chivalrous wolf, he would help her anyways. Regardless of allegiance, a wolf in need was a wolf in need.

”Ma’am, are you in need of assistance?” All notions of romance were purged from his mind, his only thought was to aid her. But how would he be able to help? He wasn’t trained in the herbal ways of shamans, nor could he summon white magic from her mountain. Perhaps all he was good for was moral support. He gently nudged her side with his nose, unsure how to proceed. Was she even conscious? Maybe she couldn’t hear him? Was there done shelter nearby to stow her in for safety? Despite the Forest of Love’s charming appearance, it was still very much a forest, very much wild.

Daisy opened her eyes to see a male above her. She smiled a little and again tried to get up. Even if she was weak she hated showing it. She struggled to get up and looked when she did she almost fell over again. "im fine its just I'm hungry and one of my scars opened and I lost to much blood." she said trying to sound confident. She looked closely at the male. He was a little smaller than her but she could tell he wasn't a pup. He had lavender eyes and a sweet voice. She smiled and sniffed the air. She smelled that a mouse was near by and her stomach growled but she was to weak to hunt.

Valor stepped back as she seemed to regain consciousness. Her bright blue eyes opened, but they were clouded and dazed. As she spoke, Valor got bearings on the situation. Old wounds reopening and starvation. That never was good. Valor hadn’t really experienced true hunger before. He had always been fed by his mother, and after he left her side he was always quite capable of hunting and scavenging off the land. Without the ability to catch food for yourself, a wolf would not last long, at the mercy of Mother Nature. Perhaps if he were a neutral or evil wolf he would leave her to the mercy of the elements, but he was living up to his name. He pursed his lips and moved away. ” I can find you something to eat, but you must rehabilitate yourself. A wolf who cannot hunt cannot live.” He murmured before examining his surroundings. A gentle spring breeze drifted towards him, the scent of a mouse and a few rabbits reached his nostrils. Ears pricked, he fell into a hunters crouch and stalked forward. The mouse would knock off sone of the gnawing hunger, but a rabbit would be more filling. He turned slightly to his left as he weaved through the swaying grasses. He saw the mottled brown and grey rabbit bubbling hurriedly at a few wild garlic bulbs and tubers at the base of a tree. He couldn’t out run the rabbit with his short legs, so he had to rely on stealth.

Valor slunk forward, his green pelt blending in well with the grass. His tread carefully, his paws quiet as he approached. Undetected and close enough to lunge, the dwarfed wolf lept foreword and pinned the prey animal under his careful paws, breaking his fragile back. He thanked it silently for its life before carrying it back to the strange female. ”Eat up, i already ate.”

[Deleted]

Daisy saw him go off and hunt. She sighed and was thinking when he returned with a rabbit. Her stomachs was yelling at her so when he put it down she ate it hungrily. "thank you your the only wolf who actually cared for a injured neutral wolf that I ran into." she said smiling. Now that she had some food in her she started to lick the scar that opened until it stopped bleeding. When it did she smiled and looked at him. "oh ya I forgot to tell you my name it's daisy." she said smiling more. "what is this place with the pink leaves I thought I was hallucinating from to much blood loss but now I see I was wrong." she said in ahh looking around at the weird forest.

[Deleted]

Color decided that Daisy posed little to no threat. If she decided to change her tune, he could defend himself well enough. She gobbled up the rabbit with little to no hesitation, cleaning the slim bones and leaving a residue of fur and blood on her muzzle. She then turned that muzzle and stretched her wide, creepy smile ever wider. He sat down in the grass and looked away. Should he leave, she seemed to be okay now. He should at least introduce himself. ”Nice to meet you Daisy, I’m Valor of Eternal Snowfall.” He dipped his head in greeting. Before he could take his awkward leave she asked him a question. ”Ah, you must not be from the Valley...this is the Forest of Love, it’s a popular hang out for younger wolves...” He trailed off, looking away to the side.

MOTHER NATURE
#33 Violent Rainstorm

.:The clouds above have been growing darker, sinking lower as lightning flashed in their depths. Thunder crashed and the clouds broke open, sending sheets of cold, heavy rain down over the grasslands and the Forest of Love:.

[Deleted]

OOC: what's Mother Nature thing?
IC: Daisy listened at him say his name. She decided to just call him valor. She heard that they where in the forest of love and saw him look away. "whats the matter is there something going on cause I don't think I can handle running or fighting." she asked with worry in her voice. She looked up to see that the clouds where getting darker. "umm I think we need to find shelter." she said a little scared. She could tell the storm was going to be bad and she didn't want to be caught in it. She waited for him to say that he knew a great place because if he didn't she would get sick or injured. When the storm came down she freaked out and ran for shelter. She found a hollow tree and went inside it. She tried to see where valor was but couldn't because of the rain. She licked her fur making sure it was at least a little dry. Then waited for the storm to end.

((Daisy, there was a site-wide announcement about Mother Nature. You can see it below the “Of the Month” thread at the top of every board. That’s where staff post reminders etc if it effects the whole site.
Also just one more thing—Daisy the wolf wouldn’t be “worried she would get caught in the storm”, she would be caught in it. When a staff posts Mother Nature, it happens right away.))

[Deleted]

She seemed worried when he looked away. Fighting? Didn’t she have any social tip off or tact? She clearly missed the social cues, perhaps there was something awry in her brain. It wasn’t his place to judge though. ”No, it’s just-“ A sudden electrical light filled the sky with a new kind of energy. A clap of thunder followed mere milliseconds after the crackling celestial lightning, breaking the heavy black clouds open, untreatable sheets of heavy, cold rain fell onto the forest, immediately dousing the two wolves.

After the initial shock of the storm, Valor looked around, Daisy was gone, frightened by the storm. Valor shivered because of the cold, the rain thudding against his pelt like chilly bullets. Confused and cold, Valor scampered through the forest and out of the pink lands in search of a haven.
