A change of scenery (Join request)

[Deleted]

Jake;

A large tawny male exhaled deeply as he traveled alone, searching for a border that he'd hoped would be good to step on. Jake walked almost slowly against the snow beneath him, having his head lowered a bit as he'd sniff the earth. Memories would recollect and he thought of the many reasons as to why he wished to join a pack.

He couldn't believe it himself that he had grown so quickly, quite literally, and already he wished to start his adulthood life within the ranks of a pack. It seemed so recent that he had one day encountered a stranger wolf, who apparently recognized him. Remembering that the wolf had said that Jake once was born into a pack in which he was the alpha's son, of course he would remember that his parents had died and though he should have taken over, he instead was adopted by a loner she-wolf. Besides this, his supposed pack was no where within the valley, and Jake didn't care to fulfill his supposed duty as alpha to a pack he didn't know about for instead he would rather be close to the ones that took care of him for so long.

Not only was he born to alphas, but he was born to evil ones; is what the stranger had told him. Although Jake was curious about his real family, the stranger died during the encounter, it left him with much more questions, but Jake wanted nothing to do with evil beings for he was good through and through.

After walking and sniffing the ground for several minutes, he finally reached the border, having the scent of it run through his nose. The young male perks his head up, the starry night and bright moon causing his cinnamon colored eyes to gleam a bit. He stands tall with confidence as he lifts his head high, he had lived a short life of a lone wolf and he wanted something different, besides, his mother had left the valley to venture new things, leaving only him and his siblings. Though he did want to go with her and so did his siblings, they were still young and needed to spend some time in the valley before venturing off outside of it, for when they finally do know the valley well enough they'd one day be with their mother.

Getting out of his thoughts, Jake takes a sharp inhale, exhaling shortly after, before inhaling once more and letting out a strong and powerful howl. He howled for a few moments, long enough until his howl drifted and surely someone would hear it. The large male stops howling, shifting his head side to side briefly as he patiently awaited someone to answer his call.

Albus

The new alpha had been sleeping in his lonely den, he hadn't done much ever since he was appointed alpha though he had his reasons.

He was awoken when a powerful howl echoed in the alpha's ears, his head quickly perked up as he heard the howl coming from the border. In merely seconds his heart started to race in both excitement and nervousness, this would be the first time he would answer to a joining call.

The male gets up and starts trotting out from his cozy den, heading towards where the howl came from. A new wolf would possibly be joining the pack, Albus didn't know much of the already pack members which made him feel guilty, but maybe he had a chance to know this wolf.

He started picking up speed as a large khaki colored wolf came into view. The alpha slows down his pace, stopping at his tracks briefly as he kept the stranger in his line of sight. His heart still raced, his mind dumbfounded on how he was an alpha, a fact he never knew would one day happen.

He shakes his head, getting his mind together as he paced towards the stranger, he had a duty to fulfill and he didn't want to let his previous alpha, Piala, down. Though he realized the alpha before him was Tiago, but he hadn't known him for too long, though he didn't know Piala long either.

Albus stopped a few feet away from the tawny wolf, seeing how he looked young, and just as large as Albus. He smiled and greeted the stranger "Hello, welcome to tranquil meadows, border of Eternal Snowfall. I am Albus," although his voice was deep he still had his smile and friendly, calm demeanor, Albus almost forgetting to state his rank in the pack "The alpha of the pack."

The soft smile across his maw never faded, his tail started to lazily sway from side to side. He was excited, but knew he had a responsibility in which he would and should act serious, though his happy-go-lucky self would make it a bit hard to do so, after all he was new to this alpha stuff, but soon enough he would become the alpha the pack both needs and deserves.

Almost slowly his tail would stop swaying briefly, seeing the young male's appearance as he would look intimidating to others perhaps. Albus never really cared for the appearance, he wouldn't judge a wolf by it's fur, instead by their personality and demeanor.

The alpha hoped this wolf was truly a good one, with such a powerful howl the stranger had and him having the responsibility of an alpha he had to be weary of others, making sure there were no wolves who had bad intentions of any sort. Albus got stuck within his mind for a moment as he could simply imagine how happy his parents, especially his mother, would be. However the alpha quickly got out of his thoughts as he'd listen to what the young wolf had to say.

Jake;

After waiting patiently his call would be answered, leaving him pleased his call wouldn't go unanswered. Jake straightened himself up a bit more, seeing the white as snow wolf in front of him. The tawny wolf had a serious but friendly stature to him, he smiled when the wolf before him smiled politely. After the wolf greeted and welcomed him to the territory and introducing himself Jake would sway his fluffy tail softly before responding "Hello, alpha, I hope I didn't wake and disturbed you or any others with my howl, if so then I apologize." Jake lowered his head ever so slightly as he genuinely did feel bad for requesting entry at night instead of day time.

The male looks to the wolf before him once more as he'd think of the next thing to say. It took him a moment or two, trying to make sure he had his confidence together before he would speak "I wish to join and be amongst your ranks, that is if you will have me." the khaki colored wolf once again lowered his head, he felt as if he had butterflies in his stomach that's how nervous he was though he'd try his very best not to show it.

So far the alpha came off in a friendly manner, but a small sort of fear ran through his mind as the knowledge of him being part of evil would make his heart churn. He never would have guessed it, but he was hopeful that even if he was associated with evil in him, he was still pure good no matter what and he hoped the alpha would see that in him.

Albus

His ears flickered briefly as the wolf started to speak and apologize for possibly waking him or anyone else up. Albus shook his head barely, reassuring him he shouldn't pay mind to it "No need to apologize, I welcome wolves no matter the time of day." The alpha tugged a smile on his maw as he'd notice the wolf wasn't sending off any bad vibes or things of the sort, but instead he gave off a positive energy which made Albus glad.

He noticed the wolf merely hesitated when saying his next words as he then asked to join the pack, though it was expected as he howled to ask for entry.

Albus would hum ever so quietly before replying with a soft smile to his maw "We welcome any and all wolves that are good and with pure intentions. However, if your intentions turn out not to be good then I will have to deny you and punish you for deceiving me."

Although he absolutely didn't want to punish anyone no matter what he could not and would not let the pack be in danger just because he didn't have the heart to hurt anyone.

The alpha straightens up and speaks once more "I will ask a couple of questions.. who are you? why do you wish to join my pack?" He couldn't help but to tilt his head just a little, he hadn't caught the wolf's name and he was sure he couldn't just let any wolf in the territory even if they claimed to be good.

Personally, he hoped he wasn't being too harsh with his words, he just wanted to make sure he was doing his job right especially for his first time.

Albus leaned his ears forward barely, listening to what the tawny wolf would say next.

Jake;

The wolf mentally would hit himself in the head as he realized he hadn't mentioned his own name "Ah r-right sorry I.. Forgot.." he murmurs to himself before listening to the alpha.

Jake takes a deep breath before answering his question, he understood why the wolf would ask him questions, after all he had to be sure he was good "My name is Jake. I wish to join your pack as a new start to my adulthood life. My mother left the valley to search for new things.. Although me and my siblings would have joined her she thought it better that we explore and do more things in our home place before leaving as we are young. Not only that, but I also wish to be... Known for something better."

The light toned wolf exhales deeply, catching his breath before he continued to speak "I- I think it's best to let wolves, especially the ones above me, know a bit of my past, so that they can know whether to trust me or not.." he shifts his body just a little as if trying to get himself comfortable.

"I was born in an evil pack, however I was always a good pup, my parents didn't want to end my life for being good because they thought they could convince me someday to be evil like them. One day when I was merely a couple of months old another pack invaded and killed my parents, I ran away and got lost. Soon enough a lone she-wolf, now who I call my mother, raised me as her own along with her own children and even though she was a neutral me and my most of my siblings were good and my mother encouraged that. I am good all the way, I want to make amends and be known as a good wolf instead of a son of an evil alpha."

He bows his head, trying to hold back any emotion he had. He gets a grip after a few moments and smiles softly with a slight frown to him, still he would try to make things positive instead of negative and didn't want anyone taking pity on him, he just wanted to say his truth and hope someone would accept him for what he is.

"That is why I wish to join, and I won't lie, I love meeting new wolves, I'm sure I'll see much friendly faces and the neat part about it is is that we'll live all in one place." his frown had faded, now giving off a brighter and happier smile than before with his thick tail swaying every now and then as he'd looked to the white furred wolf.

Albus

He could hear the male murmur something apologetic, which didn't bother Albus of course. The wolf would start to talk about reasons why he wanted to join once after he introduced himself, a reason because he was young he wanted to start his new life as an adult.

The tawny wolf explained that his mother left the valley, in which Albus lowered his ears, the mention of a mother reminded him of his own mother and he could just feel his heart dropping to his stomach as he hadn't seen her in so long. Many possibilities could happen, but Albus was the positive one and he would only think of the good thing which was his mother was safe and somewhere in the valley.

The alpha would listen intently as the wolf explained that he should tell of his past so that wolves may trust him or not. Already, Albus wanted to trust this wolf, for if he was willing to tell his past then he must be saying the truth, right? Though Albus knew that anybody could do that and trick people, so he would have to hear what this wolf had to say.

The alpha's ears flickered every now and then as Jake would explain his story, he nodded as well to show that he was listening. Once Jake was done Albus gave a quiet hum, seeing as Jake bowed his head for a moment before smiling politely. After seeing his mood change into a positive one Albus couldn't help but to smile as well and sway his tail.

"I am glad that you shared your story. That shows that you are honest, and your positivity admirable. I am more than happy to allow you into the pack, Jake, I find you worthy and I see that you will be a worthy subordinate." Albus smiled brightly, giving a friendly chuckle "Welcome to the pack, I hope to see you around! Now, you may explore any part of Tranquil Meadows as you please. Since I'm here I'll border patrol, farewell." And with that Albus turns around and takes his leave, border patrolling since he was already up.

-Exit Albus

(Congrats! Jake is now a part of Eternal Snowfall! be sure to create a thread on the pinboard to let staff know and they'll update his info ^^)

Jake;

The tawny wolf could feel his heart pounding through his chest from excitement. He would realize Albus would be the first wolf he had ever shared his story to, and the good thing was he didn't receive a negative reaction from it which boosted his self-esteem a little. Jake started to wag his tail swiftly as the alpha said he found him worthy.

He couldn't help but to grow a major smile to his maw once the alpha said he could explore any part of the territory he wanted. Jake nodded once his new alpha took his leave, Jake watching as the white wolf would trot off to patrol the territory.

Once the wolf was out of his sight Jake let out a semi-loud "Yes!" as he hopped around in a circle happily. He stands straight once more, looking towards the tall grass before smiling once more before he ran through the tall grass happily. His new life would start the second he stepped into the tall grass, adrenaline rushing through his body as he ran and ran, telling himself he would explore every part of the territory before he would sleep. Of course that was the adrenaline talking before he would soon get tired out. The wolf would then start to look for a new den of his so that in the morning he could really explore the territory.
