Black Mist Voyage

[Destiny]

Nezero stiffened."A rouge whos crazy in love.With a fae who ditched him several moons ago.Thats who."He barked in response.It was her.It was Moon.The femme he had spent so long searching for.

Soot curled up around his mate.

Romeo snuggled closer to his mother.

[Ärï]

"That's a foolish soul" Moon replied coolly. "Blinded by love is worse then physical blindness. It could drive you to your death if you aren't careful." Moon rose to her paws, swinging her head toward Nezero's voice, breathing in. "So much blood" Moon murmured. "Who hides under such a scent?"

[Destiny]

Nezero padded forward.Still limping."It saddens me.That you do not know your own mentor."His tone rang with love and sorrow."If I am driven to death because I love someone.I would rather die that not be able to love."He barked sorrowfully.

[Ärï]

Moon moved forward, turning her head from one side to another lightly until her muzzle brushed his fur. Moon licked his shoulder. The tang of blood made her heart heavy. Slowly Moon lightly ran her muzzle from his shoulder blade down his back, inspecting wounds she found with gentle touches, breathing in the scents and studying his reactions. "What did you do?" Moon asked softly.

[Destiny]

Nezero sighed."Nothing.I was simply trying to find you.Some vengeful rouge attacked me out of no where.Claming I was on her territory.Her name was Ash I beleive.Banished from Black Mist for betrayel.The femme had the upper hand.Ronin had already inflicted me with wounds.I was exhausted.Starved and alreayd bleeding when she found me."He sighed."I suppose I was lucky that White Mist and Silver Mist showed themselves."He brushed her head with his muzzle.

[Ärï]

Moon let out an almost inaudible whine when his muzzle brushed her head. "You should come back to where BlackMist is. They can help you. I don't think I know enough." Moon hoped Nezero would be ok. From what she'd felt, he was thin, his ribs easily felt through his rough grey fur. Moon was worried. When she'd seen and known Nezero back in the old lands, he had been healthy, sometimes a little rough but always healthy.

[Destiny]

Nezero grunted."What's the point?Like I said so many moons ago.If i die I die."He groaned and sank to his knees."Why did you leave without telling me Moon."HE asked.Tired blueish green orbs gazed sadly up at her.

[Ärï]

"I met a loner named Silica" Moon said, laying beside him carefully. "She was pregnant and needed help with her pups. I told her I knew a place for her that was safe, where she could raise her pups or give them to another den mother. In the end, I promised I would take her pups if she still didn't wish for them at their birth. I had to stay with her. I still have to find her." Moon felt horrible for leaving Nezero. "I didn't mean to...I found my brothers, my father, my mother. It just kind of....happened."

[Destiny]

Nezero smiled."Then you found the one thing I wanted you to find.Happiness.The brute grunted painfully as a sharp pang split his side.

Silence perked her auds.SLowly the silent femme approached Nezero and Moon.She was a retired Healer.One that never spoke.

[Ärï]

Moon raised her head as Silence approached, her pawsteps almost unheard. "Silence?" Moon knew only one wolf in BlackMist that could move so quietly as to sneak up on a blind wolf. Moon's ears twitched as she breathed in. Yes it was her. "Silence, can you help him? He's a friend, he means no harm and he needs help."

[Destiny]

Silence glanced at Moon.Then moved over to Nezero.Calmly she scented each of his wounds.Then flicking her auds she nodded.

Nezero smiled."Thank you."

Silence padded off.Whatever she could find that would help him she would get.

[Ärï]

When she was sure Silence was gone Moon sighed. "That fae gets on my nerves" Moon muttered quietly. "I can't ever hear her. It's like I'm blind and deaf." Moon wasn't a cruel creature she just felt helpless. All blind wolves felt it when around something they couldn't hear. Scent got one only so far. Hearing was the main weapon of a blind wolf.

[Destiny]

Nezero smiled at this and chuckled dryly."There will always be at least one wolf who ticks you off.That fae is silent as a ghost>I didnt know she was here until you spoke of her."

Silence grabbed some moss in her jaws.Then began to search for juniper berries.

[Ärï]

Moon sighed. "I only smelled her. Even after so many moons of retirement, she still smells of herbs." Moon licked Nero's paw and flicked her ears. Silence was moving about somewhere. Moon could hear her paws breaking snow, brushing plants dried and dead with winter cold. "I've lost it again Nero. Thorn's gift. It seems she decided to take it back."

[Destiny]

Nezero gazed up at her."That is not true.It is probably because you lost contact with Golden Mist.They cannot be reached from these mountains.I'm sure it will be returned to you."He licked her on the muzzle.
