Reunion {Open}

[Sivoncé™]

Riku paced back and forth, gaze never leaving that demonic stare of the fae near him. Now and then he would curse or snarl, but the fae would only twitch her tail in response. She glared right back at Riku, a small, smug smile on her maw.
"Have you seen what your son has done, brother?" Risika sneered.
"No. I only see what you have done, time and time again!" Riku snarled.
"Hey, I just gave him some good advice. He'd better win over his lady friend before he intensifies his carreer---"
"SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH!" Riku whirled, face inches from her, teeth bared in a threat.
"Temper, temper. Some things never change." Risika responded cooly.
"I think it's my unfortunate relation to the pile of shit in front of me." Riku retorted sharply, stepping back slightly. "You won't get a paw on her!"
"Oh, but your own son can just go to hell, right? Wow, you're turning out just like mother!" She cackled. Riku's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Snow and Fenrir were magnificent wolves--"
"Fenrir, maybe, but even he betrayed me after a while..." Risika reflected wistfully.
"Betrayed you?! He did none of the sort! It was YOU who betrayed US!" Riku exclaimed, exasperated.
"Oh...right, forgot that little detail. Well if he had cared, he would've at least....he would've at least tried to stop me." Risika spoke, voice actually soft, reflective, even a sliver of grief behind her words.
But enough for Riku to notice. He looked at her for a long time, saying nothing, then a small smile came to his lips.
"Find him, Risika."
Risika looked up, eyes confused. "W-What?"
"Talk to Dad. Talk to Seidei. Talk to Lust. Talk to Anelie. Talk to Rye. It's not too late to fix this."
She stood, backing up slightly. "B-But...they all hate me! I killed wolves, Riku, innoccent wolves...."
"Find them." Riku said, voice firm.
Risika turned away, saying nothing.
Riku sighed, looking around, wondering when his mate would appear.

[nighty!]

Flower slowly appeared to the Realum of the Twilight Zone XD. One of the places that she always wonders what it was like up there. Her blood tears streaks were still on her muzzle. It was the apple. There was still blood on it. She took a huge bite out of it so it ended quickly. Why did it had to taste like cotten candy too?!

She got on her four legs when her death was complete and then fell down like if the fae was useless to her packmates. Blood tears still came down from her eyes, but there was no pain at all. thank goodness cause that would have hurt her eyes for weeks.

"W...Where am I?" She said softly outloud. It was more to herself but Flower might as well say it outloud hoping someone will answer.

The shimmering realm was truly paradise. In this particular area, the two wolves were in a clearin gin the middle of a tall pine woods. Shafts of the moon rained down and shone radiant against the pond in the center of the clearing.
Riku looked up abruptly, Flower's appearence startling him. Though not too much, because he'd been expecting her. He stood there, transfixed and unbelieving for a few moments. He could scarcely believe she was really there;; his beloved mate...oh, how he'd missed her!
A mixture of sadness and joy came with the knowledge she had joined him here. Sadness for her death when she still had much life left in her. Joy that they were together, again, at last.
He darted forward, meeting her on the other side of the pond and immedidately rushing to her side. "Flower, oh Flower! It's okay...things are gonna be okay..." he murmured, unable to think of anything else to say. He had a million things to say, really....he just couldn't give them all to her now.

[nighty!]

Flower sniffed the air, it was a familiar scent. It just had to be someone that she had been waiting for for so long. Even though it was sooner that she expected. "R... Riku... is that you?" She asked just wanting to make sure that it was him. Her eyes was closed cause of the blood tears that was hitting her paws with sadness. The emotion of guilt started to hit her really hard cause of their son basically murdered her. She just wanted to know why that Rye would do something like that to her. Just wanted to know why.

"Yes, yes," he assured her. "It's me." He sighed heavily, then bit his tongue. "I have to talk to you about something....and you aren't going to like it...."

[nighty!]

Flower looked at Riku and brushed her head against her furr, getting the blood out of her eyes. After that she opened them slowly just in case. "Riku, I missed you soooooo much," She said and gave him a lick on the side of his muzzle. "I know that I'm not going to like it," The fae looked at the ground at the paw that had blood on. Wow, more blood than I thought. She thought to herself and looked at Riku again. It was moons sense she saw Riku's body against the cold floor of the den.

Riku nuzzled her in return, eyes lighted, but still sorrowful. "Flower...my family has a history. Starting with Fenrir's family...when my dad was a pup. He was half Sheeran and half rouge, you know. Fenrir's mother was a Sheeran beta, who fell in love with the wrong wolf. He was a vicious enemy to the packs, and killed many, but never anything that would hurt Fenrir's mother...my grandmother. Fenrir had three siblings, Regulus, Aria, and Nadia. Regulus and Fenrir were always fighting, and they never really got along. Regulus usually took the blame since he caused the trouble. Aria usually took Fenrir's side, and Nadia took Regulus' side. The only thing that truly held them together were their parents. Fenrir's mother had moved to a cave on the outskirts of a terra to raise her pups outside and introduce them to the pack later, as some mothers do. When Fenrir's mother..." Riku searched for the names, "Enya, I believe her name was, fell ill, Fenrir's father, Reft, blamed the Sheeran's for her sickness. He rounded a group of rouges to attack, and Regulus and Nadia took part in the battle. They were six moons at the time. Aria and Fenrir tried to stop them, but Reft merely called them traitors. Outcasted from their family, the only pack they really knew, they decided the only option was to seek help from the alpha of the Sheerans at that time. The alpha, with the warning from Fenrir and Aria, was able to prepare and knock out Reft's fight. Reft, Nadia, and Regulus fled. When Fenrir and Aria returned to find their mother, they found she'd died of the illness while the chaos had been stirring. Fenrir and Aria trained and lived in the Sheeran pack for the rest of their lives. Aria was claimed of ilness shortly after my father was made proxy. It caused him grief, but he lived on for the sake of his pack. Fenrir became beta when Sheera became leader. He took a fae named Snow as his mate, since they'd loved each other for a long time. Snow is my mother....and four pups were the result of Fenrir and Snow. Hazel, Aatto, myself....and Risika." He paused here, eyes searching to see if she remembered the name at all. "A moon before I was even born, Blood Mist entered the forest. When I was six moons old, my father was killed by his brother, Regulus. Six moons, Flower. The same age my father was when his parents passed. Snow fled. I ran off with Hazel, and Risika and Aatto tried to follow us. They got lost...Risika tried to go back and find her...er...crush, Seidei. She did not find him, and they were eventually found by Snow. Those three found Hazel and myself...and we also found an abandoned wolf, Dirttooth. He came with us, and Snow led us all to the Siverians, where her friend Silenthowl had taken up residency. We lived and trained there as neophytes. But Hazel and Risika....they never stopped fighting. It even got bloody at some points. And Risika always took the blame. And Dirttooth always took her side. Aatto sided with Hazel. And I stayed neutral. Sound familiar at all? Dirttooth and Risika were like Nadia and Regulus....except for the fact that Dirttooth and Risika were not relatives. In fact...they liked each other more than that. But when Risika started contacting Blood Mist, Dirttooth backed out. He tried, but he couldn't convince her to stay. She murdered Rippedstripe, rebellious and pure daughter of Bloodsbane...the former leader of Blood Mist....and Nightshade's son, Silentfire. I saw this happen. She smeared the blood on me....and I ran." He paused for a moment, then continued, "And I knew Risika and I were now the Fenrir and Regulus. Aatto had left the pack for a mate in the Destinians. Dirttooth was brokenhearted and wanted nothing to do with it. Hazel, too, wanted nothing more than to never hear Risika's name again. And Snow had vanished...like Enya. So it was me and my sister....and one of us had to die. I ran to the Sheerans...and they took me in again. It was hard fitting in at first, but Mist, Ember, Forest, Dusk --- they were all very kind. And Mona and Seidei were there, too." He left out the part about how he and Mona had been mates for a short while;; it no longer mattered. It had never amounted to much, anyway. "On the peaks of the mountains, I thought the curse was broken. I did not kill Risika. Liviana, the daughter of Diablo and Lucinda...former Blood Mist healers, now loners....killed Risika as revenge for Risika's murder of Lucinda. I thought it was over there. But now, our children are in the same tendencies. When I died in the camp --- Fenrir passed in the old camp, similarly --- I realized it was far from over. Mythic grew angry, like Risika had. She's left to become a rouge. Winnie felt guilt and usless...like I did. Rye was tormented, like Hazel. Fang is resilent, and is caryring on, like Aatto. And Lilly Pad has drawn out, like Dirttooth. But Rye...Mythic has yet to become the murderer she left to be. So Regulus, Reft, Nadia --- the bad side are trying to draw it out in Rye. Risika...." he looked at his paws. "Risika is my sister. And she is responsible for your death. But after all of this time arguing with each other, fighting each other, speaking with each other....I've sent her away. And when she comes back, she'll be the Risika she would've been if we'd never run away from the Sheerans...or if she'd stayed in the Siverian pack. But this all rooted from an experiance she had while in Blood Mist -- she might've had affection for Seidei or Dirttooth, but she loved a wolf known as Lust. A son of Ashur and Babylonia. And she told him she hated him right before she died....because she knew she was going to die. And she thought it would hurt less if he didn't know. I've watched her, Flower. And what she did was unspeakably terrible...but there's hope for Rye yet. And Risika, I think, is near healing point."

[nighty!]

Flower nodded when he paused and looked at her if she knew some of the names. Only Hazel was familiar to her. "Well, I don't know how many moons after you settle in with the Sheerians but at the time, I was a loner. Blood Mist killed my family. I lived in a family pack. That means brothers, sisters, father, mother, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, and all that, we all sticked together. I only hid while Blood Mist killed. I still have their scent once in a while when I see a former," She paused and put her head on Riku's paws looking at the pond. "I was a loner for about seventeen moons maybe, then I found the Sheerians while they were about to leave so I took that chance to be in a pack again. After settlement, there you were." Just regular tears came down her muzzle.

"I thought that Mythic was dead. I never knew that she ran away from home. Rye, I never knew that your sister really tourment other while she is well... dead. Lilly Pad, I never saw her sadness. Fang is very quiet, I never knew why. Winnie, well... Rye called her a mope which I told him not to while I was alive," Flower stopped. "I'd wish I did something better for our kids though."

Riku laid down next to Flower and shook his head. "Flower, there was nothing you could do to change the course of fate. Whether Mythic ever returns is her choice, and hers alone. You can't make these choices for them. With luck, Rye will resist the forces that have pulled us all apart. With luck, things will get better."

[nighty!]

Flower nodded to Riku. "I know, but I just still wish that I at least did something for Myth though, I thought thats he died of the sickness or ran away and no one told me," She told him again. "With luck yes."
