Angels & Kings

There was something about it, the air was thick and the smell of home was nearly there. But something was odd, off in a way. The home Land was gone, the world wasnt the same. Dangerous almost. And what was the worst was no one was there, not a single life form. Feeling alone, abandoned, lost, the beast would turn on his heels and head back from the mist. This wasnt home, this wasnt the place he remembered so clearly of. Feeling like there was no hope the wolf prince would close his ruby pools and make his way forward into the unknown west.

Paw pads stung after hours of traveling, of momentary pauses of bliss and rest, after countless howls to the unknown and lone echos. The wolf grew tired. What had this part of the world come to? Should he of just stayed home? Ruby pools would slit and then finally close themselves to the chilly air surrounding him. What was there to do? He was alone, all was left was to listen, to smell, to touch and see.

Fading light into growing shadows, the dull buzzing ring in both ears calmed the beasts uneasy beating heart. The silence of the area did little to stop the wave of what was over coming him, Body would slacken enough to slump into the ground where it currently took cover under a bend over Topiary that was not unknown to him. Chest would now heave up and down slowly in a gentle manner as tiny twitches of rough toes would go off in waves here and there. The buzzing ring in his ears would dull out into a high pitched ring until finally what was known was suddenly locked out of reach.
-Fade into darkness-

The moment seemed so bliss as the body would stretch out front legs in one direction as back were pulled out to the side. Toes would expand to show the tender flaps of skin just for a split moment. Ears flicker atop a large crown before a slip of a yawn and the awakening of red eyes onto the night scene before him. His body would be held with no hunch or slump of his back, straight and poised he stood, head placed firmly atop rolled and rounded shoulders.

It was truly known where he had landed himself, audits would pick up the silent murmurs of the night while the occasional 'hoots' and 'hoos' would echo out from distances beyond him. A light breeze there was that night, the moon was delicately strung behind murky lines of gray abyss that flew between the mortals and the heavens. Those red eyes that had seen everything would peer to them as if to speak a prayer by a hushed tongue. The muscles at the end of his snout would jerk and pull while the inside muscles would flex and expand to allow the new scent that rolled through the air. 'what is this..' thought the wolf prince. Something unknown and new, Something not to far off. But unlike usual the wolf prince would stay in his spot. Sniffing out this scent that now was seeping its way across the area he landed himself in. Unknown smells, smells of wolves not to far from him. Should he go and investigate? Should he stalk them and see what they do? What if they engaged him first? Would he maybe engage in a chat or two? The ruby eyed prince was unsure for the moment at what appropriate way he should start himself off. Instead he stared off into the distance from where the scent came from. Who ever was there, wasnt going anywhere soon. Or so he thought.
