Howl to the Alphas

[Ahillamon]

OOC: Yes, feel free to join. ;D

[Flamewolf]

Duke trotted in, finally finding the owner of the howl. He spotted Cherry, his alphess, and smiled as he padded up to them. "Hello," he said calmly to the new wolf, tail respectively low as he was near the alphess. "I'm Duke," he said. He waited for the wolf to say his name.

[Juice]

Coda wagged his fluffy brown tail in friendliness. "I'm Coda, it's nice to meet you." he said happily.

[Ahillamon]

"Hello Duke, glad you've joined us." the alphess said with a nod. "What have you heard about the news lately?" They were now walking through the plains. Nearby was the forest from which the stream started.

[Flamewolf]

Duke thought for a moment. "I've heard that the alphas of Willow Lullaby, Kimiko and Zero, have stolen a pup from the Ai'else pack," he said. "I would probably do the same if I had a reason, so they probably meant good," he added, frowning in thought. Then he blinked. "Why do you ask?" he inquired, his voice curious. He suddenly realized that the question sounded a bit commanding, and winced slightly.

[Ahillamon]

Cherry was surprised to hear Duke's question. "I only asked so I could get news of what's going on in the other packs. As the alphess I should be well informed, right?" The trio walked on, reaching the first trees."Why had Duke asked?" the alphess though. "He had such a suspecting expression."

"I was just wondering if you'd know why they had stolen the pup. It's just not natural for goods to steal a pup." she said curiously.

[Flamewolf]

Duke was ready to smack himself for asking such a question to his alphess. Blut he couldn't undo what had already occured, so there was nothing he could do about it. To her first question, he just nodded, still angry with himself for asking such an idiotic question. Suddenly, he wondered if it read on his face that he was embarresed.

"Yes, I know what you mean. I've never heard a good to steal a pup, much less an alpha." He shook his head slowly, lost in his thoughts for a few seconds. "What is happening that we don't know about? Why would they do it?" questions that only the goods that stole the pup could answer. But he couldn't help but wondering why they did it, what was going on outside of his pack. He sighed.

Coda walked on Cherry's opposite side, seemingly oblivous to her and Duke's conversation. He was looking around at the beautiful scenery. "Lovely place here." he said with a smile.

[Ahillamon]

Cherry was deep in her thoughts too. "The darks would never leave this unavenged. The worst case scenario is that they turn it into a war." the alphess though worriedly. Coda's words lightened her up a little. "Yes it is" she said softly. They had now reached the woods and trotted upstream in hopes of finding the water's source.

*We have to do a time jump. Sorry for leaving this hang xD*

~1 year later~

Coda slept in his den, dozing slightly. He was being rather lazy, not getting up on time, but he didn't worry, Cherry was a very kind alphess and probably wouldn't yell at him too much. He yawned and stretched. Perhaps today Cherry would have the small pack spar, to see who would make a good warrior.

[Ahillamon]

OOC: No problem.

IC: Cherry had been up early and waited for her pack to wake up. She watched Coda yawn and stretch before he got up. The dark brown fae trotted to him. "Good morning, sleepyhead." she said with a smirk. "Today's the day I choose a warrior for our pack." It sounded a bit weird, as her pack hadn't gotten any larger in the past year. She still only had two wolves as pack members and she hadn't found a mate yet.

[Flamewolf]

Duke trotted in, he had been awake all night. For some reason, he had been restless. He had taken a little trip out around to get his legs unstiff. He saw Cherry and Coda awake and smiled. "Hello," he said happily as he approached them. His tail wagged, lower than Cherry's. He smiled to Coda, noticing that he just woke up.

[Juice]

Coda yawned once more but got up and stretched. "Good morning." he said cheerily. "I guess that means that Duke and I have to spar?" he asked Cherry, in response to her statement about choosing a warrior.

[Ahillamon]

Cherry smiled to Duke who had just approached. "Well hello to you too." she said calmly. She turned around and answered to Coda. "Yep. Would you two like to do it right now, or later in the day?"

[Juice]

Coda stretched. "Right now is fine." he said wagging his tail. He was more of a hunter then a fighter but he'd do his best. "How bout whoever can pin the other first, wins?" he said. He smiled ad Duke in a friendly manner.
