New Wolf Era

Blaire & Yami

Blaire nodded to Naomi. Her point was valid, she did trust her grandmother. But to trust another... It was a different knot in her stomach. She looked back to Yami, who's eyes sparkled with gross girly things. Blaire would never want to be that slap happy. She wagged her tail a bit though, giving Yami a smile. This wolf seemed much more innocent than before.

"I will trust you." Blaire said, her head slightly turning to eye at Naomi, looking for her guidance and approval, before turning back to Yami. "What can I learn from you?"

Yami gave her a smile and turned to Naomi, a silent thanks in her eyes. She wriggled with excitement before flicking her tail. "Ah, light. You can do so many things with light. Its a positive feeling. I want you to close your eyes and think about the happiest, brightest thing you can manage," she smiled.

Blaire seemed a bit hesitant about this task. She looked over at Naomi, thinking for a moment. She had nothing happy in her life - how would she...? Oh wait. Naomi! Blaire closed her eyes, picturing a happy moment she had spent with her grandmother. Blaire let out a giggle, and from her laugh light seemed to spit out as though it was a can waiting to be opened after a good shake. 

Blaire and Yamis eyes opened wide at this sudden expression of light, and they both seemed frozen in disbelief.

"My, Blaire... You did it!" She smiled.

Dante

The teen look over in confusion. "I haven't had any until that fly incident. At least that I believe." Dante replied, not remembering recent events properly. It was all a blur this year. Dante watched Kali's helper in the distance, he wouldn't even know where to begin. 

"Its not going to work," he replied with a pessimistic attitude. His tail hung low but his eyes held some concentration. Slow time, slow life down. He squinted hard before noticing the Lorris's movements slowed for a moment before going normal speed.

"Did I do it?"

Dante

Dante didn't want to admit it, but Kali was right. He believed he did do it, but wished for the confirmation that he actually did something right along with praise. He foolishly forgot that with slowing down time, you could speed up. Was it the same method? He looked at Lori, such an ugly looking creature, but Kali seemed to look past that and befriend the chubby creature. 

"Uh, I'm not sure. Clea is usually hanging around my mother's helper. Pretty sure, she'd rather be with a snake than me. At least I know she's safe and happy, I guess." Dante replied, a little envious of Kali's relationship with her helper. He did shun his helper at times, maybe his snake was scared of him at times. 

Dante

"Wouldn't know where to even look or begin. She could be anywhere at this rate. I'll take you up on that challenge though." Dante smirked at his cousin. 

His eyes suddenly lit up at her next statement. More? "I could potentially have more powers?" He asked, standing stock still in awe. He had grown into his body, standing tall but his rough fur clung across his bony ribs. 

He wanted to thank her, for having hope and believing in his potential. That would be the first wolf and it was a positive feeling. All that projected on his face was a stoic, stern face. No, he wouldn't express it.

Xena

After watching her father's pack fall apart, she had left and traveled for a few months, but being a loner was tiring and depressing. Loner life was exactly that, lonely. So after much thought she had decided to find her way back to her puphood home, the Ronoh Lands. After running away when she was just a pup. She hadn't stepped foot on these lands since. She was a little nervous but she wasn't afraid, if her father, Xavier had taught her anything it was was to never show fear and never back down. She had grown up in Inferno and hardly anything scared her now. She wondered if any of the Ronoh wolves even remembered her. She stood at the edge where she was supposed to and gave out a howl. One specific Ronoh wolf came through her mind, Kali. She wondered what had her old best friend had been up to and if she was still around.

Kali

She followed Dante, letting him lead the way as his nose was planted to the ground. She'd help, if she knew the scent, but was of no good use here.

"Oh, are you scared of big bad Akemi?" She giggled. "He's a love bug once you get to know him, you just have to get through that thick skull." She giggled, prancing behind her cousin. When he stoped and exclaimed that he had smelt a different smell, as if on que she heard a rather familiar sounding howl.

"I know that howl." Kali said, "---C'mon!" She turned, grabbing Dante in an attempt to pull him along side but let go so she could run even faster, making her way towards the sound of the howl. "Xena?" she said, under her breath as her tongue carried out alongside her teeth.

She stopped about 100 yards away from the wolf, staring at her from the distance. "Is that her?" She said, under her breath again. She watched her carefully, the hair on her back was raised in both excitement, and nervousness. "Xena?" She called out, staring at the wolf ahead of her.

Xena



Stood frozen when she saw the face of her puphood friend just shy of a hundred feet away from her. She gulped, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, was this a bad idea coming back to Ronoh? But she had no idea where else to go since the downward spiral of Inferno. She had no idea where her father was, her mother was dead, uncle Tarin was no where to be found. The Metal wolf was left in the world alone, with no one. "Kali?" She called out as her tail began to wag. But then she heard the howl of Lupita, knowing the howl from anywhere, it used to put fear in her when she was a pup. But Xena still stood tall. "Um...is this a bad time?" She said softly, stepping closer to Kali.

Naomi

The old beta grinned as she watched Yami spend time with Blaire, giving some insight in the light element. It warmed the ice wolf's heart, this was doing good. The way Blaire was looking at her, reminded her so much of her own daughter, Dezera, when she was younger. The curiosity spark until something took that spark from her eyes and turned it into a sharp flame.

Hearing Lupita's howl, Naomi knew she was to be summoned to her. It didn't sound like a good howl at all, it made Naomi's stomach clench. All she wanted to hear was that Dezera had made it back okay. A mother's worry. 

"Aiden, please protect her." Naomi whispered, allowing the words to come out in wisps.

"Alpha Lupita has called for us all, meet me up there. I want to figure out what's going on." Naomi looked to Blaire and Yami, her beta side coming out just as much as her mothering side. Besides, it her age, they could catch up to her quick with her slower pace. 

Naomi ducked outside the den and swiftly made her way toward Lupita's howl. After a small amount of time, Naomi noticed the alpha and took a seat nearby her. "What's going on? Were we successful?" She asked, glancing around but seeing no signs of good news. 

Her eyes flickered in the corner, seeing Dante was arriving in an even pace. He looked in better spirits even in this dreadful situation that had fallen on Ronoh.

Yami & Blaire

Blaire immediately turned and started to follow Naomi, not even giving a second glance towards Yami. there was no way she was staying here with Yami, who didn't even like her, as far as she understood. Blaire ran after Naomi, sitting next to her quietly, and noticing Akemi off in the distance. Her heart rate was increasing just by looking at him, and she awkwardly looked away, trying to act like she never saw him in the first place,  or her brother who also shortly arrived before her.

Yami slowly followed the rear of the females, making her way towards Lupitas howl. She was extremely nervous about the upcoming news of what Lupita had to share about the three wolves that went on the mission. What if Kodi wasn't alright? What about Dezera? Oh, and who could forget about little Karasu. All with so much potential. She prayed for the best and took a seat next to her brother, nudging him quietly even though she knew he wouldn't even respond to her arrival.

Xena

She was a little surprised when Kali embraced her. It had been so long since she was touched in a positive manor. She did her best not to reject it and loosely wrapped a paw over her old friend, patting some. She then sat back on her haunches as Kali spoke. "Uh...I found my dad." She said with a nod, looking to the ground. "He was some insane alpha of this pack, called Inferno...He taught me how to fight and to be strong in my Element. "She explained. "A lot of bad stuff happened there..."She said shrugging. "But things sort of died...I guess. So I'm kinda out on my own right now. "She said with a sigh. "I was kinda hoping I could come back home..." She said lowly.

"Um...Sorry I ditched you Kali...growing up with no mom kinda sucked and I just needed to get away." She explained. Kinda feeling bad since Kali was really her only true friend she had ever made. "So uh...what's up with you?" She asked awkwardly then realizing she was talking way too much and shut up.

Lupita

She looked around and counted heads, most of the wolves had arrived. A few were missing, but no big deal. They would have the news passed on to them, and she'd made sure they'd pay for being late.

"I have gathered you wolves here today to announce that our pack members, Karasu, Kodi, and Dezera, may not be well. They have been captured and held hostage in the pack of Sera. The wolves there have them under 24-hour watch, and the only way we're getting them back is with an attack." She looked around, "We need brute forces for this, we will pile in together. I plan to have the missing wolves go on a mission for me. Hibari and Kali will be the ones we throw into the cave, to look for the missing wolves. Hidan will lead the war, we will put him in the front of the line for his absence." She knew  the male could handle it reguardless, as he was Kenpachi and Lupita's blood. 

"We leave at sundown, and everyone is going. No one will be left in Ronoh. Does anyone have any questions?" Lupita asked, wondering if they'd like to form more of a plan, or go in as a group. She'd like to hear from them. "We have little time until then."

((Playing out Ben's characters for the plots due to her inactivity))

Kenpachi & Hidan Zaraki

Cracking his old bones, Kenpachi grumbled and blinked open his eyes, even if he could only see from one eye. "What are you going about now?" He asked, wondering what Lupita wanted that was worth him waking up. He was starving and this was the best way to conserve whatever energy he had. His body was only a fourth of what it used to be, massive in size but gaunt from age and starvation. 

His bells jingled as he stood up and noticed his largest son slumbering away. "Wake up, Dammit." He kicked dirt onto his brown toned son. 

"Wha-- wha--?" Hidan asked with a sharp, sleepy tone as he turned his head to ignore his father's words. Kenpachi bared his fangs and grabbed at Hidan's neck harshly, yanking the troubled youth up to his paws. "I told you to wake up. Your mother wants something and before she bites one of our head's off, I suggest we go." 

Hidan reluctantly followed after Kenpachi, both their pawsteps were heavy and Kenpachi ignored Hidan's cursing under the wolf's breath. Hidan's build was becoming very similar to Kenpachi's back in his youth, not as large in bulk but Hidan would be a strong fighter. 

Seeing his mate, Kenpachi groaned as she seemed to be in a very pissy mood. He sat down with a large thunk next to his mate, not saying a word to her. These days, they didn't really have much words to share with each other anyways. 

Hidan had scattered off to sit near the head warrior, giving the wolf side glares as if to challenge the wolf to a fight later. 

Kali & Hibari

The two exchanged glances before Kali's eyes moved back to Xena. "We should go. Do you want to come with me?" She asked, "the Alpha is calling, and its really important." She turned to Hibari, "This is Xena, remember her?" Hibari's head nodded up and down, admiring Xena's form for a moment longer, not seeing her in so long had reminded him how fast time flies by, seeing her so adult like. His eyes shifted down to his paws. How old was he now? Too old, time was too short. 

Out of nervousness, Hibari created a water droplet and was shifting it around in his paws, like a nervous habit. He turned and followed Kali as she led the way towards the Alpha's gathering, taking a seat near her mother.

Naomi

Upon hearing the news, Naomi's jaw dropped in a sudden gasp, sucking in the air around her and feeling her throat swell. Her daughter was kidnapped and held hostage. She felt herself see small stars around her but the beta held herself in a cold sweat. They would get her back, they would get her back. Her ears lifted up, was everyone leaving to invade Sera a good idea. She couldn't fight, she didn't know the first thing about fighting. 

Her eyes drifted over to her grandchildren, she would have to see them fight in such a condition. They were going to be pummeled. She couldn't bear to see them and without a healer, how were they going to survive such an attack afterwards. Naomi felt a whine clench in her throat. She knew the bare basics of the healing arts, maybe that's what she could help with. 

Naomi picked herself up on weak legs, nodding to her alpha. She dared not argue with her, especially since it seemed the others in the pack were more enthusiastic about this invasion. Naomi stood still, waiting for the other wolves to pass by her so she could take the back. 

Dante

Watching all the wolves come, this was overwhelming. He wasn't one that enjoyed being surrounded by wolves, let alone pack mates. When all the wolves were separated across the territory, it put him more at ease. Dante tried not to glance at Akemi nearby, he still wanted little to do with the wolf. Hearing about his mother being capture, Dante sniffed the air in a way of not caring about the news. She had abandoned he and his sister in favor for her young lifestyle. She hardly took responsibility for anything in her life. 

They were going to war? Dante pursed his lips as an unknowing feeling hit the gut of his stomach. Was it dread? Fear? Dante felt the time slow down from his stolen Time element as he took every wolf. Gauging their reactions, seeing fear in their eyes or excitement and blood lust. Dante whirled his gaze and held it on Blaire for a moment, his sister, his littermate. The one that went through all their family drama, he didn't want her to hate him. 

Dante blinked to bring back the time to place, noticing that Lupita called the wolves to gather and march into Sera. Dante side stepped to be besides Kali, ignoring her companion wolf. He wouldn't admit for his fear for himself, his sister or for her.

"Good luck on your mission. Call for me if you get into trouble, I'll help you." Dante offered, his eyes stared at her for a while just so she'd know that he was completely serious about it. He just wouldn't tell her that he may be watching her go in the distance to ensure she was safe the whole way. Even if she had Hibari with her, he didn't think any wolf could protect his cousin the way that he could. 

Kali & Hibari

The two accepted their offering, Hibari a little more reluctant than Kali. er tail wagged as she seemed excited with such a challenge. "Don't worry Hibari, we can do this, it will be fun. Just stay with me, and we will be fine." She exclaimed, reading his face as a dead giveaway. She turned, hearing her cousin speak. "We will watch each others back, don't worry." She smiled, confident in Dante and his ability to stay safe. "Just remember, all we want is our wolves back, no need to hurt anyone, even if Lupita says we are attacking, its just to get back our wolves" /her positivity taking the majority of her opinion on the matter.

The two followed Lupita, stting off into the Sera lands.

Blaire

The female picked herself up, not understanding everything entirely. She followed Naomi closely, not too sure on where they were going, but knowing that there was going to be a fight. She didnt know much about fighting besides play fighting with her brother, so she hoped it was similar to that. The reality of it all, was she was young and had no experience, and this was goingto be a lesson in her life, shed never forget.
