New Wolf Era

Yami

She rolled her eyes at Kodi. Oh, boys. Always having to 'prove themselves'. She let out a laugh and turned to smile at him. "You only have to prove that to yourself." She said, "For, if you believe you are not weak, then who's to say other wise?" Yami turned towards him, tail wrapping around her body as she snuggled in for the night.

"Besides, when's it matter what others think? You sound like my brother." She stuck her tongue out at him, playfully.

Braxton


He stopped and started to Pant. "Thank you alpha..." He said with a nod of his head. He then tilted his head at the odd pink wolf. "Poof?" He said to himself. "Uh...Okay..." He said to Yarchiru. He then made his way into the heart of Ronoh. As he walked around he saw a female wolf fly out of a tree. He thought it was interesting and decided to investigate. He made his way toward Karasu who had just landed on the ground. "Whoa, that was really cool!" He told her. "How'd you do that?" He asked as he puffed out his chest and sat down next to the females.

Fern


"Wooooohooo! Go Kar-asssuuuuuu!" She shouted as she watched her friend fry into the air. Then looked at Kali as she climbed into the tree. "Okayy!" She shouted as she did the same thing she did for Karasu and then watched Kali fly into the air as well.

Yami

She laughed and nudged at Kodi, smiling at the thought of him being like her brother. "I'm glad your not." She laughed, "I deal with him enough, I don't need two Akemis." She smiled at him, and then debated on joining him to see the alphas or not.

"I have a bad feeling about it.. why don't you go and I'll stay here..." Yami said, not wanting to admit she was some what afraid of the alphas. Perhaps it would be better and less pressuring for Kodi if he went as well, and she was sure he probably had other questions for the alphas since he had an important mission coming up...

Akemi

Akemi turned and quickly got off of Dezera, not pinning her or attacking any longer as the Alphas arrived. So more for a quickie. He wanted to grumble about not getting any real action but he was respectful, and he sat quietly. "Lupita, Kenpachi." He said, in greetings.

"Dezera here was just catching up on some training since she didn't have much time back when the pups were younger," He began to explain, not wanting the Alphas to think he was getting beat up by a girl. He was winning, anyways... in his own ego atleast. "You will be pleased to know she hasn't slackened a bit." He turned to give a 'look' to Dezera, as if saying she owed him for those painful words.

Karasu

She turned to see that male that was around before, when her mother and father were putting him on some sort of test. "Hey, you made it." She said, cooly. Not congratulating nor insulting, just saying it.

"My names Karasu." She said, looking to her friends. "And thats Fern.. and" she stopped, watching the tumble fit happen and Kali take out the new guy.

"Er.. thats Kali." she laughed,

"We're flinging from trees. Want to try?" She asked, looking over at Fern. Hopefully she didn't feel like they were taking advantage of her, using her for this flinging thing, but then again, Karasu didn't really care. It was fun, and that's all that mattered.

"Kali.. I think you've had enough fun for one day." She mused, grinning at her.

Dezera

She had snarled as darkness succumbed her again, but this time a new fear started to overwhelm her. It was like the lake, the black darkness. She instantly let go of Akemi and allowed Akemi to grasp the back of her neck. Still semi-frozen, she was glad Lupita called off the fight. Dezera cleared her thoughts, that would be something she'd have to overcome, not a weakness to give her foe and advantage. Dezera stood straight, not bothering to clean her fur from the dust as the alpha spoke.

"Yes, Lupita?" Dezera asked, there was a gruffness but it was tinged with an innocence as she spoke to her higher-ups. Her tail stood straight, almost challenging to climb higher to assert authority over Lupita. As Akemi complimented her, her ear just gave a flicker nonenchantly. She didn't care about his opinion, besides, she knew that she was great still. Did he really need to say such things? Dezera stood at Akemi's side, almost like a soldier but pretty much ignored his presence now.

She was probably going to be praised by the Alphas, a promotion? Finally stepping up in the world, just as she promised herself to.

As Kodi approuched to talk to Kenpachi, her silver gaze slid to follow them. She was curious to know what they were discussing, she could read Kodi's expression perfectly. He looked immensly nervous, but her attention snapped immediatly back to Lupita as she explained.

"Sera lands?" Dezera pipped in, her interest peaked. Her fur started to stand on end, Dezera couldn't wait for this to happen. Her tail started to wag, it sounded like something to prove herself. "I accept your wishes, Lupita, I will make sure we all make it in one piece. I won't let you down." She smiled, but glanced at Kodi and didn't mind having the oppurtunity to be on the mission with him. It had been a while.

Dezera swung her head as she noticed the silver Kodi walk up to Akemi and ask to talk. She looked at him, wanting to hear what the wolf had to say. Why did he want to keep talking to all these wolves in private?

Dezera

Dezera's mouth went agape and she stared blankly at Kodi. "You're WHAT?!" She shouted, suddenly her voice went into a tinge of bitterness and anger. "I cannot believe you." She stomped the ground with her foot and swung her head to face away from the direction he was walking off. Oh, she was hurt. How could Kodi do this? And Yami would pay for this too. Her ears instantly folded back and acid started to foam at her paws. She had to go on this trip with him now? Dezera didn't even want to see his face now. Yami would hear an earful from Dezera too. There was no support in this courtship, not by her.

Lupita

She offered a glare as drama seemed to spike up infront of her. Giving Dezera a stern look since Kodi had ran off so quickly, she quickly addressed her thoughts. "If I so much as hear about you and Kodi fighting about how jealous and pathetic you sound right now, your mission is as good as gone, and Akemi will be filling in for you." She said, tail whipping back and fourth angrily. "I would suspect the same for Kodi, as well. This is a serious mission, and you better damn well put your happy face on and suck it up." She said, taunting Dezera in a way she always did to everyone.

"I need to have a word with Kodi. Prepare yourself and get Karasu. You will be leaving soon." She said, simply, before walking off towards Kodi, bashing her tail playfully but also seriously in Kennys face as she felt him snickering about the whole thing behind her back.

Karasu

The female watched silently as the group began to communicate, noticing Braxton wanting to show off and Hibari being more sensitive. Males were just plain annoying. She just ignored them both and watched as Fern went off on her own. She was sort of bummed, not wanting her to go, but she shrugged it off and turned back to Kali.

The talk about secret agents made her smile and have a sort of twinkle in her eye. Hibari, Kali and her would always be secret agents together, till death do they part. She knew it in her heart: but now, she' d become a true secret agent. A true spy.

"So, guys, wanna go check out the pond? Maybe there will be something to eat for once. I'm starved." She suggested, figuring everyones stomach was rumbling just as much as hers. She smiled to the group.

Akemi & Yami

He glared at Kodi as he told him the news, and then didn't even have the balls to wait for his reaction. Akemi was definitely thrown off by this, but he controled his answer as he felt the eyes of the Alphas covering him.

"Congratulations, idiot. You asked for it." He muttered, watching as Dezera seemed to lose control and flip out on Kodi. He would have laughed at such a pathetic move, but he knew it was all out of jealousy, and it made Akemi feel good to know Dezera was experiencing pain, so he wasn't the only one.

Once Kodi had retired to his den, Akemi then excused himself. As the Alpha was speaking with Dezera, Akemi slipped away into his shadows and made his way towards the icey cavern. Shadows leaked into the cave, and only Akemi's bright green eyes shined through. He stared at his sister, and then to Kodi.

"You think you can get away with this so easily?" He reached a claw out, aiming to whack at the male, but he knew he'd miss - the male always avoided everything. But, his plan wasn't to hurt Kodi, he wanted him to dodge the attack - to back away a bit, and give Akemi an opening.

"Yami, I've done nothing but protect you throughout these years, but this? This requires a punishment." He snarled, reaching out to snatch her from the darkness, and through the use of his mastered element, he teleported himself and Yami through the darkness from the shadows, and out of the cave. It was a flash, and then they were gone. The realistic value of teleporting was merely a master of disguise, which Akemi had used to cover both he and his sister.

Yami

As Kodi had arrived back, she smiled to him. "That's wonderful! But, is something wrong? You don't look too good." She said, walking to his side to inspect him. As the shrilling voice of her brother came into hearing, she immediatly turned and stared at him, full of fright. "Akemi.. I.. I'm sorry." She said, "We aren't mates Akemi! I haven't said yes yet!" She screamed, attempting to fight back but it was too late, Akemi was much too strong for Yami, he always was. She was taken away, and Kodi was left by himself in the icey cavern.

Lupita

Her eyes were in slits, annoyed at the whole dramatic scenario that had so previously happened. She didn't want this drama to be supported on the mission, because she knew how dangerous it was to be in Sera lands let alone steal their game.

"Kodi," Lupita called into the cave, wanting to have a word with him. She sat patiently outside the den, not wanting to disturb anyones privacy, for she did respect that.

"May I have a word with you? alone?" She said, figuring Yami was close by.

Lupita

She sat silently as Kodi exited his den, sitting and waiting for him to listen. Once she felt her words were properly collected, she cleared her throat before beginning to speak up.

"As you may know, the pack members here aren't getting any younger, and as much as we want the lands to continue to nourish with pups, I am concerned about the gathering of the new found love between Yami and yourself." She began to explain, being much more smooth in words than usual.

"I am figuring the two of you aren't getting any younger..." She said, letting out a sigh, "And I am sure pups have crossed your minds, but I don't think this is the best time of year, you see.. especially with this famine going on. What do you suspect to do with more mouths to feed? Not to mention, who knows how many.. look at my previous litter.. we are lucky I didn't have them now..." Lupita let out a sigh, finding this conversation harder to manage than ever before.

"Although this secret mission is going to continue fourth, I have a proposition for you. If your group successfully brings back food from Sera without getting caught, I will allow you to breed and have pups. If you so wish it." This was all on an instinct, Lupita didn't know if they wanted pups or not, but she thought it would motivate Kodi nonetheless.

"If you do not succeed in these missions and we get caught, or if you die along the process, consider yourself to never become a father as long as this famine continues.. I am sorry to say, but pups won't survive without proper nutrients, and I would hate to give you an agreement for pups when I can't guarentee they'll make it through the winter... summer is hard enough." Lupita let out a sigh, before narrowing her eyes.

"Another thing. This Dezera business? I want it done and over with. No more drama, coming from you two. If I so much as hear a squeek of an argument from my daughters report, both of you will be kicked off the mission and will be used as bait, instead." She warned, giving Kodi a stern stare, standing tall and proud as she continued to attempt to hold Ronoh together. "I'm not afraid to lower your ranks, either."

"You both have never had a chance like this. Don't blow it." She said, watching him, wondering what his response would hold.

Dezera

"Strictly business." Dezera replied sternly back at Lupita. She wouldn't let Kodi or anyone interfere with proving herself. This was her time to shine in the mission and no way was she giving any possible glory to Akemi. Dezera didn't even know where Karasu could possibly be, she never really saw the wolf around all that much. Guess she'd better say a farewell to someone. Not her pups, she didn't know where they were and they wouldn't understand. Better to not be too attatched.

Her ears moved forward as she heard a familiar howl, calling for her mother and Kori. Father, she'd tell him about this mission. It had been a while since she really saw Aiden. Since Dezera gave birth and Naomi giving birth to the perfect daughter, Dezera felt slighted at times by her father for Kori.

Dezera turned and quickly took off in the direction of Aiden. She approuched the den but shrunk back as she noticed how frail he looked. When did this happen? She knew her father was old. Had the starvation been affecting him this much? "Dad?" Dezera called to him, approuching him to lay down in front of him. She pressed her nose to his. "Lupita wants me to go on a dangerous mission, maybe then she'll recognize me as more potential than a warrior." Dezera smiled at him, giving him a soft wag of her tail. "I leave tonight, so I wanted to visit you before I head off."

Naomi

About to teach Kori her next fishing tip, Naomi's head lifted up as she heard her mate's howl. A smile went across her face, until she hinted the urgency in her long-time mate's howl. "Kori, your father wants us. We'll have to cut this lesson short, alright?" Naomi nuzzled into her daughter before wading out of the water. Sudden fear gripped Naomi's stomach as she quickly loped off back towards her home.

Getting to their den, Naomi walked inside to notice Dezera inside talking to him. She seemed in a tense mood. "Hey sweetie." Naomi called to either Dezera or Aiden. The ice wolf approuched Aiden, he felt extra warm for some reason at the moment as she gave him a nuzzle and lick on the cheek. "Are you alright? I heard your howl." Naomi stated, looking with worried eyes at her mate as she sat besides Dezera.
