New Wolf Era

Kuro

Kuro nodded his head, partially understanding her reasoning. He opened his mouth to reply back to statements, "I'm not the best friend to have..." He trailed off, turning his head around as he noticed Kuna was starting to get worked up. Noticing Nora in the background with a brown wolf, that he never remembered or knew the name of, off in the distance. Kuro growled, his lips pulled back before he thrusted his head away from the sight.

"She sickens me. Of course, she'll play that act up and that's how my rep forms." He stood up and allowed the shadows to pool around him. Kuro brushed up against Kuna, keeping his eyes steady once more on Nora, before whispering to the anatomical's pink ear. "I'm not standing for this, I'll be wandering around if you need me. Let her play her games."

He lifted his head up, gave one last hard look before veering around and sauntering into the forest. The shadows consumed his ruby colored fur and soon he become nothing more than a shadowed figure.

Catorii

She sighed, "Mercutio, you have a big strong daddy who takes care of everyone. He's really cool, but since he's a big Alpha you have to wait to see him. Wanna know a secret though?" She lowered herself, whispering in his ear as if this was the coolest thing ever, "Since you have Daddys blood in you, you get to be a big Alpha one day too, and that means you get to be in charge of all the wolves in your pack! You can have all the playmates and all the meat you ever wanted!" She giggled, turning to pat Leonardo on the back, "And you, too." She said, smiling.

Leonardo

His eyes built up big and bright as he imagined hundreds of wolves playing with him under his command. "Woaaah.." He said, turning to look out of the cave. "I wanna meet Daddy! Our Daddy sounds cool!" But he recoiled back and sat by his brother, "But, you first.." The shy one said.

Amari

She took a quick scared breath as the male picked her up and slammed her to the ground under control. Her armour lost control and she faded back to her original state, her good eye focusing in on her father. His words stung her, and her face became emotionless as the pain sunk in. "Why'd I have to survive? Why can't I just die too?" She screamed in pain, her armour rushing back onto her from her agony as her strength removed Eli's paw and she began thrashing around again, unable to control her strength, she started body slamming rocks and breaking small bushes around the den. "ITS.. NOT.. FAIR!"

((Waiting on Apollo, I'll just repost to make it easier to find))

Zorr

Zorr looked sternly at Aeris. Paralyzed, that wasn't good at all, especially for a warrior and so young. He flickered his ears, it sounded like she was getting better and more moble. Nora could fix something like that, they needed an anatomical wolf. "We need to try and get you all fixed up." He started, giving a small smile. He pondered for a moment, trying to remember if there was an anatomical wolf in the pack. There was the quiet one, what was her name...Kuna.

"Aeris, I think I know someone to help. Apollo, fetch Kuna and see what that anatomical wolf can do. I'm sure she could do a lot more than any of us could for Aeris's state." He turned his head to the fire wolf as he ordered him. He just had to fix Aeris back up, Zorr didn't want to see her suffer like that.

Zumi

The stars were beautiful tonight, and Zumi hummed to himself quietly as he stargazed. "Mom.. Dad.. I miss you." He said quietly, to himself. It had been a long and hard childhood for the male, and he didn't take it easy either. He closed his eyes for a moment, before opening them and smiling, seeing the stars above shape into his imagination of a beautiful mother and strong father. 

"Hey.. Mom." He said, sort of shy way. "I miss you, life is rough without you. Remember that one time we played eye spy? I miss that.." A tear rolled down the males cheek as he let out a sigh, starting to laugh a bit from the memories, "I was so little and clumsy, ha. Remember when I tripped over that log, and you tried to catch me but fell in mud?" Zumi found himself laughing, rolling over onto his back to smile and remember those fond moments.

"And, Dad. I'll never forget all the meals you brought home. You and your helper were so nice to me. I miss you both." He sighed, "Remember that one time?" A smile crept across his face, "Hah, that fox almost tricked you when it jumped out of the way, but you knew it was coming and BAM!" Zumi giggled, "Best show before dinner, ever." 

As he spoke, he felt a presence crawl onto his belly, and he shivered a bit, but didn't dare to move.

"I wanna hear another story.."

Zumi opened his eyes wide at the sound of another. He lifted his head up to look on his belly, and noticed a squirrel resting on his belly and looking up at the stars, too.

"Um.." Zumi was a bit shy at first, but took a big breath.

"Well, this one time.. we got lost. We were trying to find out way back to Ronoh, because Daddy and Mama wanted to check in. Well, we were in the mountains. This big thing didn't like us, and kept following us."

"Oh, no." 

"Oh, yes! And, Daddy went to go find it! He said he'd kill it, and we could eat away our fears."

"And then what?"

"And, well.. It came when Daddy was gone. And thats how I lost Mommy. I wish they were still here." The young wolf said, tears flooding his eyes once more. He closed them as if to shut out his pain as he heard the squirrel begin to bawl his eyes out.

"Oh-ho, thats Ter-r-rable.." The squirrel cried.

Zumi looked at him oddly, eyebrows lifting. "What's your name?"

"Harley," The squirrel said, inbetween sobs.

"Harley, I like you. Will you be my friend?"

"Of course."

As the night sky sparkled above the duo, a shooting star seemed to be heading straight towards the pair.

"Woah, Harley, what's that?"

Zumi turned, allowing the squirrel to change positions and sit on Zumi's shouldar. 

"Why, that's a shooting star. Make a wish, Zumi." 

"How'd you know my name?"

"Make a wish.."

Zumi shrugged it off, and nodded. "I wish my mother was still here. I miss her." He said, with a sigh.

The star didn't fade, and instead approached Zumi's side. Zumi looked at it with wide eyes.

"Mom?"

Harley smiled, and patted Zumi on the side. "Zumi, this is your mother. You're a soul wolf, and I have a lot to teach you."

Catorii & Leonardo

Catorii smiled happily, her features lifting up as she began to sing the song that her and Zorr first danced to. Her absolute favorite. Catorii smiled, watching the pups as Leonardo actually took the lead and jumped up, dancing around and shaking his 'groove-thing'. It was obvious he was of Catorii's genes, being a natural. He giggled, "C'mon Merri!"

Catorii

She continued to sing, giggling as the clumsy pups pranced around. Leo had some good moods, and Mercutio had the voice of his father. She wagged her tail to the beat, picking up the speed a bit to make the boys dance faster.

Leonardo

After landing in a heap, the male laughed and wriggled as he was lifted back onto his feet, tail wagging as he nodded, knowing it was an accident. He then danced around again, tail waggging happily. As the beat seemed to pick up though, he did too and tumbled over his feet. This time he began to cry, embaressed from his faulter.

Amari

She let out a sigh. "Otay Daddy. Sorry." She shrugged, not really knowing why she got so mad and crazy when she became upset. Milo was by Eli's side, looking down at the wolf. "She's going to be strong," He said, almost in a warning tone. Amari glanced at him, raising he eyebrows. Strong? That sounded cool. She gave a small smile to her father, "Strong, like Daddy!"

Leonardo

He whimpered a bit but nodded, and slowly got back to his feet. Quickly, as if the mood had changed thanks to his brother, he began bouncing around again, laughing and dancing. "Daddy will love this move!" He shouted towards Mercutio, running and tumbling into a sumersault, giggling as he did so.

Kuna

As Apollo asked for her help she followed him without a word, a paralyzed wolf? As she saw the wolf she was clearing up on her own so what was the point? She shook her head before placing her paw on the wolves back, she could feel the fried nerves and the spinal cord tensed. She repaired the nerve endings and soothed and repaired any damage done by the electricity to the spinal cord. Next she relaxed the muscles around it allowing the stiffness to go away. She also relived any aches pains the female might have. The whole thing was done in about a minute and she stepped back "There, try that out." even though she knew it would be fine.

Eli

 He licked her and said "I know she will be, that's why I'm her father." he watched her proudly and said "yea, you'll be strong just like me" he felt his tail wag at the thought of training her.

Mercutio

Mercutio smiled at his brother's compliment before plopping himself ontop of Leo as he spoke of relaxing. It sounded like a good idea, he was out of breath. His red tongue fell out of his mouth and started to pant.

Zorr

Zorr watched as Kuna arrived quickly, surprised at how quick it was to find her and use her element. "Thank you, Kuna, for all your help." He said, greatful for the wolf to be around. "Aeris, I'm sorry but I have to depart. I hope it all works for you, Kuna will help if you have any more trouble. And I don't think I need to say that Apollo will be around to help to." He chuckled, knowing well enough how close they had become since the meeting in the mountains.

Zorr turned and slowly walked away from the group, looking back to see them before he darted off at a high speed toward his den. He noticed Eli and Amari farther out nearby, he dipped his head to them.

There was a strong smell of his family and he stood at the entrence of his den. His eyes were tired but they lit up at the sight of his mate and his pups, worn down from an afternoon of play. They had grown so much while he dealt with pack business. "Sometimes, I think my pack takes more work than these pups." He commented, stepping inside. "I'm terribly sorry for by absence, it's been more hectic than it has been for a while."

Zorr

Taken offgaurd at the flash of red tackled him, throwing him to the ground with licks. He nuzzled into her, taking in her scent and licked her longingly. "I'm sorry for being away so long, how I've missed you so." He whispered, giving her a lick on the forehead. He snapped back at the sound of his one son speaking. They speak now? How much did he miss?

Zorr took his head away from his mate and looked over at them. My, they had grown. His heart clentched at how much he missed. "My boys." He smiled, staring at them for a while. "I am Daddy, so no need to worry."

Mercutio

The small black pup scrunched up his nose in disgust at what was happening before his eyes. He brushed against Leo to try and console him, watching this male with sad eyes. At Zorr's comment, an explosive smile turned on his features. His tail beat the ground before he pushed past Leonardo to greet his father. He jumped up and started to paw at his father's face, "Daddy, is that you?!" He asked, his eyes lit up. He smelt familiar, this den smelled like him and maybe that was the smell he got when he was nursing on day. He wriggled around in happiness.

Kuro

At a howl towards him, Kuro stopped in the forest and lifted his head up to listen to it. He turned toward the noise, melting through the ground into a shadow. As the shadows swerved this way and that, he appeared quietly up through the ground behind Kuna. "You called?" He asked, roughly. The shadows that pooled on the ground quickly shaped into a single, jagged form around his paws.

Kuro

Kuro's eyes watched her; a hard, cold stare. "You're the one who called?" He flapped his flightless wings in place. "Not like I have anything better to do right now, before we were rudly inturrupted." He said, it came off as a deep-throated growl. "You okay there?" He asked her, seeing as she seemed annoyed about something. Not that it mattered to him, just curious. Maybe it gave him the oppertunity to rough up a few wolves as a result of it.

Kuro

The dark wolf shuffled his wings once more before dropping down to sit again. His blue eyes was searching the distance, the dark shadows forming around the forest were of much interest. He shrugged his shoulders, "Doesn't matter, do what you wish." He mused before directing his attention back towards Kuna. "Attention grabber, you don't say?" He chuckled, "I agree, she looks as if I'll just pop out behind her and attack again. Wasn't even near her when we were talking, but whatever. I'm sure she'll get all the attention she needs when she talks to the alphas about it. Besides, I'm not allowed to be near her without Tough-guy Eli around." He mocked, ruffling his fur up to appear larger than he was.

Aeris

Her body shivered with strange tingly feelings as she suddenly felt much, much better. "Hmm." She said, trying to decide if she felt better. "I don't know.." WHAM! She jumped and knocked over Apollo, giggling as she did so. 'Tehehe!" She said, tail wagging with happiness as she moved around all her limbs, seeming to dance ontop of Apollo. "All better!" She laughed, "Thank you, Kuna" She called out to here, even though the female seemed to be in a rush, and kinda annoyed. "Sorry if I bothered you.."

Tyson

"Just don't think about it, the Alphas will handle it." Tyson said, noticing Artemis in the distance. "Hey, she looks lonely, let's go spend some time with her." He noticed she had gone on a hunt, and felt bad about missing out on it. Plus, Nora needed some girl time, too. "You could be friends with Artemis, she's such a sweetheart, just like you." Tyson smiled, trotting over to Artemis while always making sure Nora was safe. "Hey, sorry I missed the hunt... maybe we could go again soon?" He glanced atr Nora, "Nora could come and look for herbs while we hunt maybe?"

Catorii

She beamed at Zorr's happiness with his sons. "They made up a dance for you, I believe we should show you, maybe around a fire!" Catorii was eager to show her pups her rituals, although she wanted to be sure they were older enough to not just leap into the fire first. Now seemed like a nice time, and she smiled again at Zorr, ever so happy that he had come home.

Leonardo

"Otay Dad." He giggled as his father spoke to him. "I LOVE YOU TOO, DAD!" He shouted with joy, "DAD! DADADAD!" He giggled, so happy that he had a father. As Mercutio dragged a bone over, Leonardo giggled and watched him wriggle around before leaping out playfully, over the bone, and onto his brother. 

Zorr

"A dance? I would love to see this." He barked, wagging his tail as he walked besides his mate. Pressing sides against her as he watched the pups start to play around. "They are quite something, aren't they?" He said, his eyes drifting from his children over to his mate.

Mercutio

"Fire?" He asked, wondering what they was exactly. He only heard about it from his mother, but never saw it. Mercutio felt himself get leaped onto by his brother, rolling underneath Leo and pawing skyward at him. He let out a long giggle while trying to gnaw at his brother's white ear. "Leoooooo, we gotsta danceeeee for daddddd," He whinned out in between gnaws.

Tyson

He smiled at Artemis's answer and nodded, a bit concerned about the lack of food. "Maybe we should take a trip to the mountains, there is always food there.." He suggested, "Good time away from the pack, too, huh Nora?" He smiled at her, before returning to Artemis. "We could bring all the hunters, and maybe some warriors to bring down the biggest thing we can find, surely there's got to be a bear going into hibernation soon, or something like that. We shouldn't completly fail, you think?" He asked, knowing that the journey would be very dangerous, he wasn't sure how the girls would respond.

ooc: Respond for Aeris, goofball!
