N O S T A L G I A (Howl/Wolfie/Siv/Open)

[Sivoncé™]

"Silenthowl, Rio...." Feath grinned suddenly, bounding to stand near them. "You're grandparents!" She snickered, eyes bright. "Lance and Mystic, Nightshade's daughter, have this little thing going on," she rolled her eyes. "Well, I'm not sure how serious they are exactly, but you have five healthy grandchildren in the Siverian nursery she explained blissfully.

Siveria's eyes closed, a wide smile on her maw as they embraced.
"And that is all I needed to know," she breathed, suddenly overwhelmed. She was soaring, soaring on clouds, playing in the woods with Arroyo, those days they were neophytes, nothing more than friendly wolves. She'd served her time as alphess, and she would be remembered. With a resigned smile, she slowly drew away from Arroyo, touching his nose with hers and lingering for a moment.
"There's something that needs to be done, I think," she told the gathered wolves.
"I think....." She looked at Silenthowl thoughtfully, then at Feather, who blinked in suprise.
"Silenthowl should take winter."
"WHAT?!" Feather snapped. "It doesn't work like that Siv, and you know it! It's a tough life, sure, but you'll get used to it! And I mean....you're a legend. You start telling those little ones it's not true and what will they ever believe?"
Siv shook her head and snorted, "What are we doing here in heaven, immortal, in paradise, if we, every single one of us, are not divine?"
This silenced Feather.
"And really, Feather, I don't think too many wolves fall off cliffs on fire and still end up better than their enemy. Winter is not for me. I am an alphess, I am well-known, sure, but I'm not regal," she giggled at this. "I'm still that prickly she-wolf. It's time to shake off the ice and let it be....and Silenthowl is from the mountains. She'll be in her element. I just want to be Siv, again, I think," she licked Arroyo's cheek as she said this, eyes gleaming.

Feather slowly nodded, then a small, mischeivous smile came to her. "The passing of the guard....and the rebirth of the autumn," she woofed happily. Without warning, she tilted her head back and let out a sharp howl.

Rhain didn't take long to appear, and when she did, she raised a brow at Feather. "Well? Who are we talking about?"
"Silenthowl."
"And?" Rhain murmured, glancing at Silenthowl.
Feather smiled again. "Sheera."
Feather looked at Silenthowl and Sheera, gaze suddenly serious. "It might seem glorious, being a goddess....but it isn't like what many think. Like with Siv, when you're forced to make the decision, sometimes it doesn't work out as planned. Now, understand that your powers will do you little good now. It's my time....Summer," she grinned. "So basically, you control weather patterns that are associated with your season. Things change up here much faster than they do down there. And transitions......well, it won't be so hard for me because I've done it once before, but still. The point is, when it comes to go from, let's say summer to autumn, summer will go through....some pain. It's best for Autumn to stay away from them, as they'll be going through bursts of sudden energy. When the transmission is over, autumn and summer would go back to normal. And when it is your time your opposite season, like summer and winter, you tend to deal with a lot of crabbiness from it. It takes a very long time to get over it. Rhain spent ages in some bertha-forsaken place. She's all good now, a little grumpy during transmission, but she's fine." Rhain rolled her eyes.
"Oh, and don't let it go to your head. Really, we're nothing special," she snorted. "Do you both agree to this, knowing that Feather and I will probably mentor you a bit?"

[Sheera]

Sheera smiled kindly at Feather and Rhain. "I'd be overwhelmed unless you did help me along a bit. I understand the hardships of being a goddess. Autumn? Would that be the season, and the transitions from Autumn to Winter will leave me a bit... crabby? Would it be bad if I was near Winter, Silenthowl, during the transition?"
She was sure she knew the answers to these questions, but she wanted to be completely sure. She was a bit shocked that Siveria wanted to give up her season as Winter, but she knew what she was going through, and the shock was gone quite quickly.
Her fur glowed a spirit-like glow as Siveria's happiness flowed through her form, Her heart warmed, glowing just as her fur did. Her eyes danced, but calmly.
Her tail still wagged slightly, sitting patiently.

[Sivoncé™]

Feather and Rhain exchanged an amused glance, Feather laughing softly. "Oh yes," Rhain sighed. "Seeing as you are both newbies, you could possibly get into a very bad scrap. When transition time does come, I'll help you through it. Feather will be ornery with losing her season, and when winter rolls around, she'll probably be crabby, too. Feather would probably be able to help Silenthowl when Spring rolls around again, seeing as my happiness might irritate her," he ears flicked with amusement. "Really, I think we're all just wolves with really bad moodswings....so bad that they affect the world arounds us," Feather laughed loudly.
"You'll get better with transitions as time goes on; Rainy Day is pretty much an expert as far as I'm concerned. I've only been at this for a year....how long, Rhain?"
"Pssht. I lost count," she snorted.

[hOwL]

[you all lost me compeltely with those posts xD]

Beautiful female stared at her mate for a while longer. Licking over his cheek she turned to look at another male that came one. She looked at him with a gentle gaze. She nodded softly to herself and spoke on her own this time. You will seek her among other stars...her jorney will be longer then my own...as her heart longs for two...and you are only one who roams in these skies. She replied to the male that had arrived. Her wise gaze looked toward him as he would no what she is talking about. Her gaze looked back at Rio and she brushed her tail with his with affection looking up at her name being said.


She saw it was Siviera and listened to ehr carefully. Give up her season for herself? She tilted her crown softly looking at Feathers reactions with irrated her slightly but relaxed. This missunderstanding was well confuseing her. She flickered her tail and got up walking over to Siviera.

Are you sure that is wise my dear friend. I no nothing of what you speak about....nor half of the ones you say. She spoke looking at another shewolf. Her pale blue gaze bored into Sivs eyes. It was just like when she was made betta. But she got nothing of that. She looked back at Rio before looking back at Siv with her gentle crisp gaze.

[Sivoncé™]

Siv looked to Silenthowl with a measured gaze, about to respond when Rhain broke in, "Silenthowl, you know nothing of it now, but neither did the rest of us. Alone in the forest in the middle of winter, it was my powers, unknown to me, that saved me. You could say that winter saved Siveria, too, perhaps, but it could just as easily be the death of her. Feather found her strength in summer, and Thorn before Sheera showed she was made for her season. You're born of the mountains, and yet you come here, and this is where you stay, for this is your home. There are many wolves from the mountains, but none quite so remarkable. Think carefully of this."

[hOwL]

Triangles listened to her wise words. As she understood them, she nodded softly. If you could teach me...I promise I will not let you down, again, The female spoke in truthful tones. The blue eyed beauty walked foward and licked her friends muzzle. There was so much that she wanted to give...but so little that was possilbe to even show. She looked back at everyone else. Was it as sin that she was giving this up to Silenthowl? She looked back at Siveria with thoughtful eyes....but she was willing to forget where she came from...just because her blood is diffrent then everyone elses...dose not mean that her heart is. She bowed her head to Siveria with loyalness. I will exepct your gift to me. She woofed at last, taking the decison of learning it...and doing all that she can to make her season glow like it should. It was her job to impress...and to love you.

[Sivoncé™]

Rhain nodded, blinking meaningfully to Feather. "We'll wait for now, I think. winter is not yet needed in the lands. You''ll have some time before the transfer," she woofed softly, stepping back to allow the wolves their reunion. She turned and padded away, perhaps to look for her mate, or perhaps, more likely, to spread the news and then return home to him.

Siveria smiled warmly towards Silenthowl. "You'll do fine with it, I know you will. I think it was meant to be yours, like Rhain said. It might have saved the skins of the packs, having me challenge Verlust....but maybe it was also so because I was the one who was supposed to hand it to you. You would've been leader after my death, should've been leader. I think this has a sense of rightness that is inconparable to any I have known. Yes, this is the way it was meant to be."

[hOwL]

Gaze blinked softly accepting the great leaders words. Many things had gone wrong in her tribe. Deadly battles and uncalled deaths spreaded the over the tribe that she born into. No she had not spent all her life in that tribe...neither come to love a handsome Hite Warroir and give birth to his pups...but it ran in her blood and she was in the prophacey. It her duty to give up her life to save them all....and this was what she did. Once more she came into reality looking at Siviera speak. Yes, she would have been leader to her back after her death....but the dark wings of the death angels took her away before she ever got to accomplish such. I am sorry that I have failed you in such. But I had a task to attend....this being my reason why I am here. She spoke to the leader nodding.

[Sivoncé™]

Siveria dipped her head. "You didn't fail me, Silenthowl," she said sincerely. "You merely aided me in ways I wasn't expecting," she amended. Her eyes suddenly grew saddened. "There are others that are missing....many others...from this realm. Did you cross paths with any of them on your way here?" She asked, concern thick in her voice.

Death stormed into the hollow, eyes flashing with triumph. "RHAIN!! WHERE ARE YOU? I FINALLY DID IT! I BROKE UP WITH SLASH--woahh , Rhain isn't here anymore...." he gaped wide-eyed at the scene in front of him, spotted Silenthowl, and cursed under his breath. "Don't, like, attack or anything, m'kay? I know you and I don't exactly have the best history....but I'm not so....satanic anymore!" He grimaced. "In fact, I was the priest at Rhain and Lupus' wedding," he snickered at this. "And would you happen to know where Frozzenheart is?" He grimaced again, shuffling his paws. "I....owe her....a very large apology. And I also need to find some body armor so she doesn't totally kill me....again....."

Feather's jaw dropped. "Wait wait wait, what happened with you and Slash? Who's this Frozzenheart character?"
Death rolled his eyes, irritated. "Slash is possesive. She also wanted to do something similar to what Lupus did with Flame and myself. Basically, she wanted undead puppies. Oh, and she kind of made me feel like a girl sometimes, ya know? More like her gal pal than her mate. Oh, and I guess I was murmuring someone else's name in my sleep," Death looked nervous now. "Frozzenheart was technically my neophyte....but....I really really really liked and still like her," he frowned. "But I chose Slash. I really don't even deserve to be looking for her...."
"Death, for the record, you kinda do sound like a girl right now..."
"Ugh. I play Dr. Phil for everyone and I can never get good help around here!" He grumbled.

[.Rabid Lycan.]

”I. HATE. FISH.”
A black wolf appeared, tall and strong… and covered in slime. It was Lupus.
”I was under attack by a giant freakin’ octopus, and the two people beside me leave…” He closed his eyes, shaking his head. Someday I’ll remember that I can teleport when I want…
”An octopus? HAHA!”
Lupus looked up to see Rio snickering. Although they had become friends of sorts, they were more like brothers- always trying to find ways to annoy the heck out of each other.
”It was a very big octopus, Athiest-boy.”
The smirk was wiped off Rio’s face. ”Aw, c’mon- don’t call me that!”
”Ya know what, A.B.? I’m gonna feed you to the fish and see how you like it!”
And so began a fistfight-of-sorts by two undead wolves.

Arroyo tilted his head at the Rio/Lupus brawl. Leaning toward Siveria, he whispered in her ear in an unsure voice, “Uh… is it always like this?”

“Oo, you’ve got another crush?”
A red-toned femora padded into the clearing, nodding casually at Lupus and Rio. “I heard the ruckus- couldn’t help overhearing about the new love interest.” Flame winked at Death, smiling. Turning, her eyes widened in surprise to see the others- namely Silenthowl.
“Whoa- what a party!”

“…love interest? What?”
Lupus looked up, holding Rio down with a paw to his face while Rio held Lupus’ hind leg in his jaws.
Blinking slowly, he uttered a surprised, “Oh- hi Silenthowl! How you’ve been?”
Judging by the turnout, I’m beginning to think that everyone has met or heard of Silenthowl…

[hOwL]

[dude wasnt Frozzenheart my character? xD]

Silenthowl looked at everyone who arrived. She had well understood that Lupus was from another relem but she said nothing and looked at Siv who spoke to her. She flickered her auds. Yes dear. Alaskansong is running through the stars...along with Snow and a few others. She spoke to her bringing her eyes up to the sky she blinked. She smiled. They will be here sooner then you think. she wooffed. She smiled and looked at Rio softly. She loved him...and well everyone knew it. When she was spoken too she looked at the one who had spoken. She laughed lightly at the position they where placed him. Good. Yourself? she woofed in her soft tones in general.

[Sheera]

The little pup known by Kiri ran along side Lupus, nipping at Rio's legs, trying to fight for the god. "Wanna piece of me?" he growled through bitings. He claws at Rio's foot, and tried to push the wolf away. "Wanna piece of me?" he repeated, growling and nipping. "No, no, no you don't!" he growled continuing his fight. "Come on! Try to get me! Just try! Come on!" he growled, batted Rio's leg. He gripped his skin in his teeth and shook his head, not able to move the heavy older wolf.

Sheera looked at Lupus with amusement. "Actually... I'm quite fond of octupuses. They're quite sweet creatures, the giant ones especially." She chuckled lightly, and pictured Lupus being attacked by a giant octupus. "Hmm... interesting." she mused in comment. She smiled lightly at the sight of the wrestling brothers. "Speaking of finding those of the past... has anyone seen Dusk and Scratch? Oh, and my children, where are my children?" she asked. "Hopefully they still live on?"

[.Rabid Lycan.]

Hielo perked his ears, taking a small step forward.
"A-Alaskansong, you said?" he woofed in a hoarse voice, the white brute's eyes flashing. He hadn't heard his sister's name in a long while...

Lupus rolled his eyes. "Other than being covered in a layer of fish ooze, I'm just fine- hey hey, Kiri, no need to eat the guy!" Lowering his voice, he added with a mischievious tone, "But if you want to take a small bite out of his ear-"

"I CAN STILL HEAR!" Rio growled loudly from underneath, squirming a bit.

Laughing heartily, stepping off the other wolf. "I'm sure Kiri can take you himself..." He ruffled the top of Kiri's head fondly with one paw, only to notice Hielo out of the corner of his eye.
Turning to face the wolf, he tilted his head to one side.
"Who're you?"

Arroyo's eyes widened in shock to see his killer standing only a few yards away.

[Sivoncé™]

(Yeah, Howl, she was XD. I actually did rp Death mulling over it a bit, not too long ago. )

Rhain returned, snorting at Sheera's remark about Octopuses'. "Honey, they flipped me like a freakin' PANCAKE! Do I look like a PANCAKE to you?" She sighed, shaking her head. "Oh, and Liver Pool was barely satisfied with rabbit liver. I think he was eying Death up, though. Better watch your step, kid," she rolled her eyes.

Death fidgeted nervously. "Yeah.....she's probably gonna kill me........" he muttered to himself. Though he seemed only a bit uneased, his eyes reflected the agony of a burning wolf in the midst of a forest fire. "Maybe things wouldn't have gone so bad if I'd chosen her in the first place! Maybe Flame and I would've worked it out..." he murmured, again, speaking aloud to himself.

Mist and Owen walked warily into the clearing. Mist's pained gaze brightened slightly as she caught sight of Silenthowl. "How nice! And old packmate!" She woofed, though her voice seemed scarcely substantial. She was missing part her, and that was clear. Owen said nothing, only nodded, looking pale and ghostly.

Sparkling Ember followed close by, smiling fondly towards Silenthowl and nodding her hello. "It's good to see you again, Silenthowl," was all she said. She spotted Sheera and her ears twitched oddly. If Dusk showed up, things would get really uncomfortable. I spent enough time away from him to know that if he's happy, I will be content to move forward in my....er...afterlife.

[Sheera]

Sheera's fur ruffled a bit at the sight of Ember. He had fallen in love with her as well. Her ears felt hot, as she heatedly muttered something that sounded like 'He must still love me.. hopefully.' She stiffly inched about a foot away from Ember, and thought about the two males she had fallen in love with. She felt guilt creep as she thought of Dusk's disappearance, and how she had freely fallen in love with Scratch. She remember Dusk's hurt as he scampered into the clearing for the first time in moons, seeing her with Scratch, acting like a love sick neophyte. But, she and Dusk had made up, and, though she never told him, she had become pregnant once again. Her pups dyed as Rip stole her last eight lives, and she sunk to the bottom of the qua-colored stone back in their original home.
She shook her head with hurt at the pain she felt as she felt no movement in her stomach. A tear glistened in her eye, then disppeared into her thick coat.

Kiri smiled brightly as his fur was ruffled and he jumped onto Rio, digging his teeth into his fur and pulling playfully. He punched into the wolf playfully and smiled lightly at the wolf. "I told you, you didn't want a piece of me!" he laughed.

The tail-less brute was just taking a stroll, thinking of his madom, Brook, he pranced towards the wolves, not noticing him, until he heard the pup-like voice of a pup he had once seen in Hellfire when Lupus was a bad shadow, and he had taken a bite out of Kiri's mother and visited him. The pup had been afraid of him. Afraid of his one eyes, and bloody eye-less hole. Afraid of his blood-stained fur, and ripped-off tail. Afraid of him.
He eyed the wolves oddly, acting as if he didn't notice Sheera, the alphess he had killed eight times long ago. He coughed, clearing his through. "Er... hello..."

Sheera's eyes narrowed at the brute. Her fur ruffled more than it had before, she clenched her jaw and growled in warning. Her killer, and her unborn pups' killer. Why was he not locked in Hellfire?
"Why are you not burning in the coals of Hellfire brute?" she demanded at him, barking, and snarling in warning and hostility.
