Spirit of the present

A thin veil of morning mist drifted through the sacred woods. Silver eyes danced between each blanched tree trunk, taking note of the ivory vines weaving around the beautiful, fascinating trees. Bright Moon had never seen anything like this place before. The trees looked like giant bones of an ancient creature, half-buried into the ground. She wasn't sure how she had ended up here, but what an interesting place indeed. Dainty, ebony paws carried the slender female carefully through the woods, padding along slowly so as to not miss any of the scenery, nor run into anything unexpected. The further she made her way into the woods, the more at peace she felt; the strange forest was quiet, with only the soft sound of birdsong from high above in the treetops.
The woman's black-tipped tail flitted with curiosity as she came to a large ring of marked stones. They looked unnatural, like some other-worldly force had placed the stones purposely. Even more intriguing was the lightly glowing spring in the middle of it all. Her pace slowed even more, and she tried not to make a sound, as though she might awaken sleeping spirits. She approached the edge of the pool, placing her paws carefully so that she could lean down and look into the clear, glowing water. Below, she could see fish gliding through the water, the glow of the water lighting up around their tail fins. The she-wolf couldn't help but to smile just slightly, sitting back as she took in her surroundings - what a gorgeous place she was glad to have stumbled upon today.

He'd slowly been traveling outward lately as he moved farther and farther away from Celestial. It wouldn't be a long trip as he was reluctant to leave Surreal alone for long. Of course she had her family and whatnot but she was sick and pregnant and she wasn't the only one who was sick. He didn't want to think about it though. Despite the fact there were still things he needed to do back at home he still needed to go out and about and get the scoop about some of their "neighbors." They didn't really have any packs close to them, not even in the same area, but he still felt the need to get some intel regardless. As Surreal had pointed out they were getting on up there in age and eventually they would both retire. Surreal would retire before he did but he'd still become too old to carry on his duties before he knew it. He was seven... seven! He still wanted to believe that he was still that young kid that he'd been when when he'd first met Surreal. He realized that he wasn't as young as he used to be and that he was slowing down but he was more than determined to try and pretend for as long as he could. He was going to at least make the most of his life while he could. The main thing he was interested in were the other packs and their relations to them. Yfir's relationship with Celestial had seemed strained with their Alpha came to the borders. The scent marker left by the female was enough to leave him on edge and have him be wary of the entire pack. Nothing had been seen of the northern pack since then though which left him less worried than he'd been at the start. Since Hellstrom had been taken out though none of the other packs had been a priority so there was no need for immediate reconnaissance. With nothing pressing to do at the moment he found himself wandering to a place he'd never been before. Eyes easily drifted to the pristine white trees and the interesting vines that covered them. A fog covered the area adding to the mysteriousness of the place and Creed couldn't help but be impressed. He'd never been anywhere quite like this and he almost felt like he shouldn't be disturbing anything. So the brute padded along quietly until he was surprised to find a figure in front of a shimmery looking pool surrounded by rocks with strange markings on them. He sniffed her as he paused some distance behind her trying to figure out what pack she was from. While he'd never personally met any wolves from Fiori he recognized the scent at least. They were a friendly pack from what he'd gleaned, Surreal's family if he remembered correctly, so he felt safe in being around this woman. "Ah hope Ah'm not intrudin'." He said softly, almost apologetically, as he slowly approached the pool. He stared into it for a moment as he enjoyed watched the fish with a smile, before he turned his eyes to the woman again. He was completely prepared to leave if she wished him to. Walk, "Talk" Think |

She turned at the sound of a masculine tone with a rough accent, although the voice was soft, sounding apologetic. Normally she would startle at such an approach, and be filled with anxiety in the presence of a man. Yet for some reason in this place, she felt like nothing evil could exist. Perhaps it was a foolish belief, but she clung to it anyways. "Not at all," she replied in an equally soft tone, "It's very entrancing, this place."
Her silver eyes drifted again to the marked stones, and the ivory tree trunks. Then she would look at the wolf again, who had approached the pool to gaze at the water. As she breathed in his scent, she realized that he belonged to a pack as well, although she was not familiar with it. Actually, there was quite a lot that she was unfamiliar with, as she often kept to herself. Now though, she was glad for some company at this strangely spiritual place - it didn't feel right to view it alone.
"My name is Bright Moon," she mentioned, her tail swishing along the ground, "I'm from Fiori, in the east. I noticed you hold a pack scent, as well - where do you live? A-and, what should I call you, sir?" Now that she had started talking, she had found it difficult to stop, her nervousness catching up to her in a different way. Perhaps she should have simply asked his name first, instead of rambling so much. Abashed, she held her head low, ears flicking back shyly.

It was strange how no one seemed eager to disrupt the peace here. Even any animals that might have been in the vicinity remain quiet and Creed found a slight amount of amusement in it. He was pleased that he hadn't bothered her as he wished to stay longer. Had he been intruding he surely would have left, but the company seemed nice and resting his paws wasn't a bad idea either. "My name is Bright Moon," His teal eyes shifted back to the female and he mused silently over her name. Such a strange title but he supposed everyone's customs for naming their children were different. Her name wasn't displeasing to him though and he smiled softly. "I'm from Fiori, in the east. I noticed you hold a pack scent, as well - where do you live? A-and, what should I call you, sir?" "Ye can call me Creed. Ah'm from Celestial in the west. Dun suppose ye've heard of it?" He questioned her curiously. Celestial happened to be a little bit out of the way from other packs. They were the only pack that actually resided in the west, but Donostrea hadn't been too terribly far to get to and from there some of the other packs were relatively close by. It seemed the more eastern parts of the region were nice places to settle down, hence the amount of packs that seemed to reside in the general vicinity. All except Yfir of course, but he himself was partial to the north so he could understand the desire to live there. It was harsh and challenging, but he loved it all the same. "Wha' brings ye here?"
