[MEETING] Impar Vita [Part I]

The tall red guy walked in, and Dominus couldn't help but recognize that red. He envied Ignis' pelt for being so unique out of all of them, and he noticed his father's admiration to it.. now there was another, albeit not quite as red. He tried his best not to let himself get bitter, but his fragile and developing brain struggled as he simply glared in the direction of his older brother. He'd never met him before, had no idea this was his brother, but that knowledge might have only made him even more jealous.

Luckily, their dad was able to pull his attention away from the other wolves quite quickly. Elias spoke about demons and how much attention they gave to Imps, and Dominus felt a cool chill along his spine that made him wiggle with excitement. His tail never ceased to stop wiggling after that, especially once the Apollyon admitted they would be leaving pack territory. Finally!

His massive front paws lifted from the ground as he threw himself up toward the sky and let out an excited yip. It was all too soon, however, as his father also admitted that they would be blindfolded.. aw.. fuck.. this was going to be hard.

He got paired up with Drakan and his blue eyes immediately found the brute, small and pointy puppy teeth on display as he excitedly watched him. Dominus was eager, it was as if his father read his thoughts. He was interested in this guy, because even as creepy as he appeared to be at first.. it only seemed to make Dominus even more curious about him! While his father worked with Actaea, Dominus excitedly waited for Drakan to make his way to him. Dominus closed his eyes and was overall very compliant, happy to get started on this little journey.

Once blindfolded, his world changed quite considerably. He could hear his family moving around him but could not see where exactly they were. He took a moment to take a few steps and ended up bumping into Domina, releasing a small growl out of the initial shock. He steadied himself and waddled back closer to Drakan. His father must have forgotten that Drakan did not have a tail, as there was nothing for the little lad to chomp. Cheekily, he raised a paw to lift the blindfold just slightly so he could look up to Drak with a wink.

"Don't worry, I got this. I'm right behind you!" He jumped up again, massive puppy paws slapping down against the dirt when he landed to show off his determination. He lowered the blindfold again and rushed behind Drak, bumping into his back legs before falling down with a thud. Aaa, he was so excited.

As they began to move, Dominus had a very difficult time getting used to how walking felt when he had no eyes to guide him. He tottled this way and that, had to press his paw about fifty times before every oddly shaped rock (which was all of them). Before they even left the mountains, it appeared that he managed to hit his first hardship on this journey. During their descent, and without a tail to help grip and stop himself from falling, he managed to press his weight into a loose rock on the mountainside. His weight slipped faster than he could react, a surprised howl escaping him as he began to tumble down the mountainside. He fell a good thirty feet, his nails scratching into the dirt and sending loose rocks flying out around him. He was scared, very scared, and every little bump seemed to cause more and more pain but finally the rolling stopped.

'Don't take off your blindfold, Dominus!' He heard his father call out to him, just as he was lifting his paws to remove it. He grunted, but complied, falling down on the earth again with defeat. Everything hurt, there were scrapes all along his legs and chest and he was sure he was bleeding, he could smell it.. but he waited for his guide. Drakan always watched over them... he would come get him.. right?
