OOC: I warned you of the short start Blue stained limbs would carry him away from his pack for a while, feeling the need to stroll under the opening light of the sun. The weak golden rays would shine down on him, though barely any warmth would absorb through his oceanic fur. Dione seemed to have settled in nicely into Imperium, but Novaro tended to venture away, still not used to having a permanent place to stay. Though he would only wonder during the day, often meeting up with her mid evening or when the moons at its highest point. He would venture up close by the lake, pacing fast towards it. He often came here, liking the rather quiet vibe it gives. A sigh would slip ebony lips, before sitting down at the side, red gaze staring down to his reflection. mud still nestled within his fur from the day at the swamp, he found it rather difficult to get rid of it all so quickly, and well- he wasn't so keen on letting others clean it out for him. He liked his space, and the only exception was when the green nymph decided to bash into him or be in close proximities, his feelings where strong for her, and he couldn't imagine being with another... could he? the thought would vanish his mind, not many women could compare to his green nymph.

The young woman had traveled far from home, almost half way across the island. Where was she going? She wasn't even sure. She had been in a deep rut, Charon had been abusing her way too much lately. He had never been like this with her, it was only since they had Olympus taken from under them. She had finally hit a beach, and indicator to turn around and go back. She wondered how long she was gone. If her parents knew or even worried. "Why would they care, they wanted you dead." Chione would stop for a growl at her old "imaginary friend." Ever since she learned of Hypnos and her mother dropping him off a cliff, Charon had been harassing her with words of saying Natalya wanted her dead instead, that it was a mistake, the wrong pup. But that was not the case at all. A figure of blue hit the corner of her eye as she reopened them, a male standing a ways from her but in sight. Maybe this was her chance. She would approach him, his color almost hypnotizing her. She never approached others, but she was drawn to him today. "Um... Hello." Walk "Talk" Think

Oh, he had thought he was alone, but now he was clearly mistaken. He would sit there in silence for a moment, well aware of the looming figure close by, though as soon as she closed the distance between them his crown would jerk to her direction, his own orange gaze locking upon her. His features would relax, though he was still cautious all the same. He felt the need to be in control, if she decided to lash out he would be prepared, though he highly doubted that would happen. Better safe then sorry. She looked rather troubled, though he was intrueged all the same, she had come towards him rather suddenly, though it wasn't in his nature to complain. He would drink in her appearance, thinking the colours suited her nicely. " oh, hello." His words would trail of, looking for the right words to the sudden socialising he had to do. " Im Novaro Red, who are you?" She didn't look familiar, or even smell it either, so he would dismiss the thought altogether and bring on a new subject. " Are you alright? i heard you mumbling"

The man would respond, a hello and an introduction. Novaro, Red. He was very blue if she knew what colors were. Had everyone lied to her? Was she naive or something? Maybe this man was confused or something. Or so his family if anything, he didn't chose his orgin. If only Chione could... "Chione... Olympus." This socializing stuff was weird. Who wanted to do this everyday. Chione thought she was missing out on something good, but really like not. But what on earth..? He asked if she was alright. Had anyone asked her that? Well she was open to tell this stranger her deals, she most likely would never see him again. "Baby please, he don't give two shits about you." "No. I've never been okay." She would respond, only to go against Charon if anyone. But she would look away from Novaro as she spoke, into the ocean. She wasn't much of an emotion, either an evil smirk or a plain, almost thoughtful look. But she was never truly happy or sad. She cried, she laughed, but what were they to show her true feelings? Walk "Talk" Think

He would blink, tail tapping upon the earthen floor. Her name seemed weirdly familiar, olympus? Had that name been going around recently? or was it just a coincidence? He would shrug it of, feeling as though it was not worth asking. he would let his gaze fall upon her lithe form, face thoughtful. He didn't really know where all this niceness was coming from recently, but it was since he came to alactria. he would stay silent for a moment, not really knowing what to say, it was sad to think that some wolves where never truly happy, all deserved it, right? well maybe not the cruelest of them all " what... whats bothering you?" He didn't know exactly why he was asking, but he felt the need to. It wasn't because of pity, but more for the others well being.

As he spoke, What's been bothering you, the young woman would not turn her gaze back to him. She remained looking toward the ocean, and soon she started walk towards it. "What's the price of a life?" Not know how far she had walked from the man, she stepped into the ocean. The only thought on her mind was the time she knew the only way to free her self was to drown in the ocean. "You will never be free. The day you decide to take your life will be when we can be together forever." She would gulp, painful air ripping down her throat as she closed her eyes taking in Charon's words. Was it worth a try? What would be better? There was nothing here for her, so maybe it would be even. But if Charon was wrong, maybe there was a chance of her being happy. How could these thoughts plague the mind of a woman, not even reaching a year of her life? Walk "Talk" Think

Short postie before bed!

Triangular ears that lay atop of his crown would swivel at her question, though he was some what alarmed by her question, a pup shouldn't be thinking so... deep? he couldn't think of the right words for it. His lips would part, and for a moment he was at a loss for words. He just wanted to pick her up and take her of home to Imperium. " The price of life... is to simply live it?" theres no good in simply wasting it with negative thoughts, and it was best to simply shut them out before they get worse. He would watch her step within the water, somewhat cautious that her little form could slip. He to would step close to the edge, letting his forelimbs slide in with ease, tongue tracing the water, before greedily taking it in to drink. " where are your parents?

To simply live it? What if you couldn't live your life? What if you didn't control it? What if someone stopped you from living? Many thoughts ran through her mind, that of which she would not repeat because Novaro would soon speak of question again. Her parents? Well yeah, she lived with them. She felt very fond of her mother, not so much of her father. Helios had not gone back to reclaim their lost lands and instead took others. Lands she didn't really like for that matter. The marshes were hard on her coat, she didn't want mud freezing to her pelt. And the strip? It sure was ugly. They had to go awayfor hunting. It was dreadful. "Back at home." Granite optics would look to the water at the ripples his tongue made on the surface. It was pretty chilly but paid no mind, there were other things on her mind. "Away from you. Where they belong." Walk "Talk" Think

Still watching her carefully, Novaro would back up from the waters which consumed his forelegs, instead sitting on the side, feeling the breeze much colder on his legs now that the waters had touched his merle fur. He would blink, wondering why a pup could even think like this. Weren't they supposed to be happy, jumping around and adventuring everywhere? Or did he just have the picture all wrong. 'back at home' was it normal to leave a 6 month old babe alone? He was completely inexperienced with the whole thing. " Oh, so they often let you venture out all by yourself?" he was asking so many questions today, how annoying. " Don't you have brothers and sisters to come with you and play?" Novaro had siblings when he was a pup, often venturing out early morning to go 'slay some beasts' which was really just practising to hunt with small game.

"I do whatever my little heart desires." "That's right babe, and I'm here with you every step of the way." She would tremble a little, her eyes closing as she took a seat with half her rump in the water. What was left of her? If she left now, her parents wouldn't really notice she was missing for a few more days. Maybe she could give them hope that she wasn't dead if the body was nowhere to be found. Hope. She laughed inside seeing her actually thinking of others. But he would ask more; of her siblings. Alec, venturing out with her. "Heheh," She would let off a gentle giggle to the question. "Yes, I have a brother. TWO brothers," She spoke remembering of Hypnos, her demented disowned other brother. "And a sister. But they do not understand me. Their work is child's play." Sure Herc was more mature than Alec, or maybe it was that Alec was just too sweet. It didn't matter, Chione did not belong where she was. Or maybe she truly did; Charon was just blocking her way into fitting in. Walk "Talk" Think

The sun would soon start to go down, the little warmth that there was quickly beginning to fade, the wind felt like daggers to the skin. But novaro would do good to ignore it, his fur was thick to help him through the harsh season to come. He would hear her chuckle, and wondered what was so funny. but he quickly ignored it. Well, atleast she had siblings, some wolves have no one but there selves, literally. and well, that really would be boring. " Why don't they understand, all pups play and learn..." What made Chione feel so side tracked, as though she can't fit in with her own family. So strange, though perhaps it really was more common then he thought. Wolves fight all the time, making up one way or another, or well... perhaps not at all

"Go on, tell him about me. He won't understand just like everyone else. Only I will understand you." Chione would hesitate a moment, a breath escaping but no words came out. She was scared, of Charon. Of him harassing her even more. And how right she was. What was Charon really, surely he wasn't the devil in disguise, tempting her into things she didn't want. Chioe was Olympian, Gods were involved. And though she really thought him a real being stuck inside her head, was it just her imagination? "There's a man following me." "You selfish bitch." When she spoke, she spoke smooth. She wasn't scared to admit because in a way it was true. But Charon's own words would make her lip trembled and a whimper would come from her throat. Her eyes would close, chin pointed down, and tears would fall. Was pretty sudden, maybe just a burst of emotion from this "man following her"? but no. Charon was not mad because she told someone, but because he was more than a man. He was a god in himself. If she was going to tell someone, she need to tell them the whole truth. Walk "Talk" Think

'theres a man following me' And with that alone he would stand, alarmed for the child and her safety. He wouldn't blame her if she didn't even feel safe in her own skin. Was this why she was acting so differently? Was a man tormenting a little babe? If anything he found that rather pathetic, picking on those who can't defend there selves. He would see the tears flood her face, and instinctively he would walk over to her, his nose attempting to gently nudge her cheek in comfort. " Has he hurt you? Stay away from him. Or could she not? Where they family? if she was all alone he had half the mind to take her away and claim her until she was old enough to fend for herself, though the circumstances seemed different. " Do your parents not know about this?" "Talk" "You" Think

Has he hurt her? "Inside, he hurt me." Now how great did that sound? She spoke through her teeth, a face of strangling pain. Tears continued to fill under her eyes, probably the most she's ever felt. It was like the flood hates had opened. She finally let it out on a complete stranger. "You can't get away from me, darling. You know that." "I-I can't." Easy response. It was like she hit her teen years, she was going through puberty and a rough one at that. Her siblings weren't up to her level just yet, nor did they understand. No one did. "I... I don't know." Walk "Talk" Think

Though not physically, it would seem it was emotionally. " Then you shall rise above him, and if he hurts you, then you should know ill help you." Of course he would, how could he not? One day Chione could rise above all and become excellent in anything that she chooses to accomplish, and maybe one day Novaro would bump into her again and witness how much she had grown. Not only that but he hoped she would be happier, her parents must realise their daughters distress soon, right? He couldn't help but feel sympathy for her, tears rolling down her face as though they would never stop. And even if they did, it wouldn't end the sobbing. Oh, how he wished to help her through this, but she had to go home soon, right? "Talk" "You" Think

He said to rise above him, rise above Charon. But how? She couldn't do that, she knew she couldn't "Damn right you can't!" Another whimper would escape her throat. He told her that he would help her if Charon hurt her, but again, how? There was no way, the only way was to die. But Charon threaten to haunt her even then. And there was either to take that chance and live an eternity with him, or well... the same if she lived. She lift her paw to her eyes and tried to wipe away her tears on her drenched face. She would sniffle before speaking, "I should go." And then she would turn to walk down the beach where she came. She would go home, because it didn't matter where she was. Everywhere was hell to her. -Exit Chione unless stopped- Walk "Talk" Think
