A Knight in Invisible Armor

The tall dame wandered out onto the beautiful plains, her violet eyes shining with joy. Such a place, it was so much like her home, and yet so different at the same time. The giantess' large ears rotated as a mouse scuffled a few of her long strides to the front of her. Pinpointing the creature, the black footed canid lifted her front paws to her chest and launched herself to the exact location with her strangely long rear legs. Fiery red was all that would be glimpsed as the strange woman landed directly on top of the shrew, her small ebony paws crushing it neatly and bloodlessly. Picking up the small rodent, she quickly shredded it into bite sized pieces and snapped them up in turn. A few more tiny beings were caught and devoured, and then the giant creature laid herself down in the tall grasses, feeling content in a place that seemed so much like home.
After a long rest, the dame picked herself up and trotted over to a meandering river that snaked through the plains. Lowering her delicate cranium to the edge of the aqua, she lapped it up with her salmon tongue. Resting on her haunches at the water's edge, she panted a bit and stared out at the vast expanse of beautiful plains. Lifting her powerful nose to the air, she tested it for scents of a nearby pack. There seemed to be one, faint, but if it was in this subtropical, warm environment, she would gladly join. She wasn't cut out for the cold, at all. Neither was she made for heavy forests, so she would have to see if she could find a place like this to stay. These thoughts ran about in her mind while she sat on the bank of the river, and awaited what came next.

Her large ears alerted the maned wolf to an unknown being approaching her from behind, and soon a bark of surprise was heard by the fiery dame. Turning her cranium to face the newcomer, she noticed it was simply a pale coated male wolf with golden optics. Her own purple eyes met the man's gaze calmly, and she smiled. Standing, she approached the much smaller wolf and lowered her cranium towards his. "Hola senor. What brings you to this little slice of heaven?" She asked, her native tongue slipping out accidentally. She was feeling uncomfortable looking down at the pale man, so she sat herself down on her haunches and let her cranium lower once more to meet his gaze calmly. The woman's ivory tipped tail rested on the ground behind her, too short to wrap around her ink dipped paws. How interesting, she had never met any wolves with a coat like this, it was so thick this one would have overheated and expired within a few days. She examined the magnificent pelt, awe struck by it's unique beauty. The only things that set her kind apart in pelt was the length of their ebony socks, or the size and colours of their throat patches. As well, she had heard that these wolves had different colours of eyes, instead of all having the same pigmentation in their irises that coloured them a dark brown. She wondered what this one was doing out here, seeming to be far from home, if home was the pack she had scented earlier, which clung heavily to his luxurious pelt.

His voice came slowly in reply, causing the she knight to ponder his mental stability. Judgement was not her place, so she let those thoughts be banished from her mind. His question posed an interesting possibility for replies, and she wondered how to answer. The giantess let her lilting voice fall from her tongue as she finally decided on an answer. "I am seeking a home, and a pack to live with." She finally replied, an easy smile finding itself on her ebony lips. It was a simple answer, one that couldn't be read into very much. "What is your name, senor?" She asked him, realizing that she had never asked, nor- to her horror, introduced herself. Once more did her vocals pierce the warm winter air, and her name was produced from between formidable incisors. "I am Araceli Iris." She told the pale coated man, smiling sweetly and dipping her cranium respectfully.

When the pale man inquired to whether or not she spoke the truth about having no home, the she knight shook her head slowly, solemnly. Her deep violet eyes were sad, but she smiled half-heartedly, trying to ease the male's obvious turmoil at the thought. Then he offered her a home, and her grin broadened, reaching all the way to her deep purple eyes. "I would love to join you there." She spoke, happy that the first wolf she had met was offering her a home already. Her short tail whipped back and forth on her hocks, a blur of ivory behind her tall, lanky frame. When he corrected her on his name, she giggled at his manner of speech. "It's nice to meet you, Anthem." She told him, dipping her head politely. His compliment surprised her, and she murmured a quiet thank you, and smiled shyly. She wasn't really used to compliments, being part of a species that only really sought each other out to mate, and occasionally there were packs formed when the situation was dire enough. Just then, a rumbling within her abdomen alerted her to her speedy metabolism's requirements. "Are you hungry? I could use a snack.." She offered, wondering what could be caught around here, other than shrews and mice, like maybe ground squirrels or larger rodents? Her cranium tilted to the side quizzically, and she awaited a reply.
