The cool shadows of dusk covered the lands to the west. Crickets started their songs, the breeze rustled dying leaves. A brown figure moved with slow silence. Paws sore from non-stop traveling and yet the creature was very healthy for being alone. Odd marked pelt shined with health and muclses rippled smoothly under it. But there seemed to be a hard cold auora about the wolf. A sort of wall uncapable of breaking down. She moved with a stiffness like a storm system rolling in with a dark force behind its clouds. A gleam of danger flickered in pink and yellowed hued eyes. She moved with her head down, protecting her throat. Word was that there was a pack here with many healers. She was not in need of being treated nor anyone she knew. But there was hope she could find her dark colored sister. Sure the two were not blood related but she was the closest the warrior had to a family. She could remember her birth pack and everyone but they had abandoned her. Lips lifted at the memory and she shook her head. She would not think of it now, that could be delt with later. With a huff a strong scent crossed her path. Pausing she drank in the scent, no doubt a pack border was very close. She moved once more at a loop till her toes touched the scent border. Eyes narrowed as she observed what she could from the land and the scent. Many wolves lived here, a strong pack indeed. But was Imena willing to break out of her shy shell to come here? There was only one way to find out. Head tossed back to howl out. Her voice was strong, commanding yet respectful. She would sit down right there on the border and wait. Speech Thought Others

The dual toned male lifted his head from his work. He had been digging up a hole to collect roots to take back to his brother. He wasn't asked to, but the plant they belonged to was recognizable and he figured that they would be useful later on. A howl would then reach his ears, and with his dirtied muzzle did he lift himself to respond. Glancing down at his finds, he decided he would come back for them later. His paws would carry him through Valhallan territory, straight towards the call that lit up the air. Luckily he wasn't far from his mark as a form would come into his view. Caerul would approach at a swift trot, tail bouncing behind him as forest green eyes fell upon a woman he had never seen before. Her coat fascinated him, catching his attention. He stopped in front of her, head held high as his eyes would shine with gentility and curiosity. "Hello there, My name is Caerul. What brings you to Valhalla borders?" It was his first time greeting someone at the borders, and wondered if this was a call for formalities or casual conversation. He supposed that whatever she said next would determine that.

She would not have to wait long before someone approached. Dual toned eyes studied the brute as he came. She noted his posture, his mood and tone of voice. He seemed approachable, no hositlity was visible. But her guard was up none the less. Life taught her to stay on her toes at all times. His head held high but she did not get the sense of a high ranking wolf from him. His voice was gentle and formal, recieving a respectfull nod from her before lips parted to speak. "Greetings. I Nalani. I'm searching for my sister and heard this pack had many healers and thought it was a good place to check." She replied in a soft voice. Though she would not give word of who her sister was of yet. Part of her prayed her sister was here but another said not to up any hope up for it. So far her search had turned up with dead ends and she feared her black sister had passed away. It would be a same, truely for Nalani had many things to tell her. Speech Thought Others

The words of the woman fell gently upon the mans ears as she spoke. She would call herself Nalani, seeking out her sister who was apparently a healer as he noted what she mentioned. With an eased smile, he dipped his head. "It is nice to meet you, Nalani. If it is healers your are looking for, then you have come to the right place. Valhalla is indeed full of them, I would say they are a strong foundation of ours and Valhalla seems to produce many potential healers. We've many more healers then any other pack in these lands. The man would chuckle then, a glint of humor in his eyes. "It would seem that I've rambled on too much. So tell me, what is your sisters name? Perhaps I can help you." He asked kindly. Caerul waited for the woman to respond, taking in her presence he thought her coat was a pretty sight. Though he was not high ranking just yet, he was proud to be in a pack. He hoped that whoever she sought resided within Valhalla, perhaps he could bring home a new member...and a new much needed friend. Speech

The white and grey male was formal as he replied, making her heart race. This could be it. This could be the place her "sister" was hiding at. The earthen female was not sure what she would do if this was another dead end. She wasnt sure if she could take another block her her search. Ears twitched as she let the thoughts disappeare. "I'm searching for Imena Taipa. She is a dark grey female with white and brown mixed into her fur and sky blue eyes. She is one of the few on earth with a true soft and caring soul." She expalined in a tender tone. She could only pray that her dear sister was safe. After that one day, she feared Imena would fall off the face of the earth. She had faith that the small female could take care of herself, but mentally, after the banding, she was worried. No wolf could stay sane when the one thing they lived for was taking away from them. Speech Thought Others

Soft green eyes would watch her, a curious gaze would flicker as the mention of the name was brought up. Imena...? This girl knows Imena...? Who would be-- It was then that it struck him. Imena had mentioned someone named Nalani...and that Nalani was her sister. Was this the same Nalani!? Shaking his head free of thoughts, he remained the same calm and friendly wolf. Not betraying that he knew of the past things that she did to her supposed sister. Assuming this was that same one she told him about. "I do know an Imena, and she does reside in Valhalla. You have found the right place." He stood then, gesturing her to follow him. "Come, she must be with my brother Cael now if I'm not mistaken. I do hope it is the same one you speak of, though she unmistakeably matches the description. And she spoke of having a sister who went by the name of Nalani...I apologize for not recognizing this before." He would dip his head apologetically to the pretty woman, her markings attracting his eyes, not wanting to look away. Speech

She would sit there silently watching him as he seemed deep in thought. What could he be thinking? Possibly he had seen Imena once and was trying to remember? Whatever the case was when he spoke her pink and yellow toned eyes sparked with livid flames of joy. But just as quickly as the fire started it was gone. She could not put too much hope into it till she saw Imena with her own eyes. She stood up and hesitantly crossed over the border. Body naturally tensed up. All too often had she been led into a trap. And each time she had fought her way out. Sure her body had only one set on scars on the back of her neck but her body laungage spoke of a different past. As she moved her dark leopard markings moved like sun dappling a dark autumn forest floor. She noticed his glances towards her making her slightly wary. She would not run for she didn't fear him but non the less she was on high alert. "Thank you for taking your time to help me." she said softly. Speech Thought Others

With a sweep of his tail Caerul would lead the girl with him into Valhallan territory. He was unable to accept her, but she had not mentioned joining...she simply wanted to find Imena and Caerul would guide her to the other woman. He would cast a glance at her every so often, noting her beautiful markings as well as the way she moved. She seemed very tense, and he wondered what it was that made her feel that way. He wouldn't attack or ambush her, Caerul had too much honor to do such a thing. Quietly he would lead the way, glancing back to ensure that she followed. However, if she so chose to flee then he would not stop her. He hoped that the Imena that was his brothers mate was the same Imena that she sought. Speech Thought Others

ooc//I figure we can end it here maybe? And open a thread with Nalani/Imena/caerul? and whoever else lol
