So what better place to relax then under the weeping willows on a winters day? Snow covering the land, the wolf wasn't exactly hidden, with a bright blue mane and a black top, only her white bottom would blend in. Not to mention she was hungry. The rumbling deep in her stomach made her eyes move across the land. Though she wondered if there even would be any food here. It was winter after all. Her mother had taught her that when food had been scarce someone would often feed her since her mother had been so small. Vahva yawned and gave a sigh, well she wasn't small. She was just, un-wanting of anything that would make her feel uncomfortable. She was so used to being comfortable she hated being out on her own. Soon, soon enough she would find Valhalla, and be able to enter the birth of her pack. She turned over on her back, and starred at the drooping vines of the weeping willow she was under. Her stomach rumbled again and she sighed, her red eyes looking alert. Vahva wondered if someone would eventually come and eat her up. There were plenty of cannibals in the world. From what she had heard, her grandfather was one. Yet, Night never ever would talk about her family, nor about her past. She had mentioned the kingdom a few times, and that she had a half sister who died before she was born. Vahva wondered, what the hell happened to her heritage. Speech,

Natsu had a rabbit clamped in his jaws as he walked in the snow, taking a break from all that sliding in the Valhalla lands grass. Lucky this time the rabbit was rather big, and it made him happy that he had been able to catch just a thing. The tree's here were weeping willows, the most amazing thing he had ever seen. All there, and wait. What was that he saw in the snow. His blue eyes blinked for a moment when he realized there was a bit of vibrant blue in the snow, and what looked like paws sticking up out of the snow. Was there a wolf there? He wandered closer for his suspicions to be confirmed. There was a girl there, and her stomach was rumbling like crazy. Natsu chuckled a little bit and set the rabbit down. "If you're hungry I caught a rabbit, you can have half of it." Natsu said out loud, wondering if she had even noticed he was there. She was quiet a large wolf, maybe a little bit bigger than Natsu. If he hadn't been able to smell her femininity, he would have mistaken her as a male. His black tipped tail wagged back and forth in the snow as he watched her. Wondering what kind of adventure would unfold. Speech,

The voice startled her, making her jump up and fling snow all over the place. As she turned around, she found a male there, smiling with a rabbit next to him. The one that he had offered to her, at least half anyway. Her red eyes gave a narrowed glare. Why would a stranger offer her some food? Vahva stood herself up and shook off the snow as she brushed the remainder off of her mane with her front right paw. Looking at the male she eyed the rabbit. "Why, how do I know you didn't do something to it? Or that you're just trying to impress me for mating? She snorted. The male didn't look very threatening but she could never be too dangerous. When she finally cared to notice her scent, he was a Valhallan wolf. That meant he was used to bring others food? Or just other wolves in general. "Say are you part of Valhalla?" She jumped at the chance to ask him. If he was, then perhaps she should have been slightly nicer to him. Speech,

She was the first one to actually question his offer at the food. Natsu blinked, put something in it? He tilted his head and looked at the rabbit. Was that even possible, if it was, then that was awesome. Natsu laughed and gave a smile when she suddenly changed her attitude when she smelt his pack on him. Well she wasn't all bad then was she, she probably had her reasons to be snappy. The wolf was surprised by her bright blue mane, but her appearance matched that of the wolf that had brought him here in the first place. His great aunt, Night. Who he learned had been lost when these wolves migrated here after the volcano explosion. "Aye, I am. And don't worry I didn't even know it was POSSIBLE to put stuff in food to kill someone or hurt them, that's kind of awesome. I'll eat first and then you can eat after kay, and I'll tell you about Valhalla after your done eating. You can't possibly have energy with an empty stomach!" Natsu exclaimed jumping a bit and carrying snow with him. As he dug into the snow, his tail wagged back and forth. Someone who actually wanted to hear about Valhalla, maybe she had been looking for it just like him. As he finished half the rabbit pushing the rest to Vahva he raised his head. "I'm Natsu, I joined Valhalla because I had hoped to have family there, but it turns out she was lost in the volcano fire. So why are you looking for Valhalla?" He asked tilting his head. Speech,

Vahva was confused by his optimistic nature, his cheery tones as he spoke. Facinated by the discovery of being able to poison food. So he obviously had no knowledge of herbs, she knew some pack wolves were specified to do a certain things at time. Even though Vahva knew about herbs and how to fight all together. Making it vital to her survival on her own so far. It was kind of adorable but she had no reason to be happy, it kind of pissed her off too. As she began to tear into the rabbit after he was done, looking at him with her red eyes. So he had been looking for someone who went missing with the volcano. He couldn't have been talking about Night could he? "You can't be talking about.....night can you?" She said after finishing the rabbit, beginning to chew on the small bones. "I was born in Valhalla when my mother and I got separated in the fire, Night is my mom. So I'm back again hoping they'll accept me. Though I don't know if it'll go well." Vahva gave a snort. She was so horrible at handling wolves, though if Natsu had been looking for Night, did that mean that he had some business with her. Was he older than he looked? Speech,

Natsu watched the girl as he listened to her words. Wait, did he just hear the wolf's name without even telling her? Natsu's eyes widened when he realized that this girl was Night's daughter. Yet, she was so young? Then again his mom had only been two when Natsu was born and his grandmother that same age when mating with her brother. Natsu hopped up excitedly, this was a family member, they were related by blood. His cousin was sitting right in front of him sharing a meal. "WE'RE COUSINS THEN!" Natsu exclaimed while wagging his tail. She seemed a bit discouraged on the joining Valhalla part. That reminded him Epiphron wouldn't be the one to accept Vahva, but perhaps if she mentioned his name then she would get in even easier? Natsu smiled, "Don't worry, if I can get in then you can, if you need help I'll be there. Like an adopted brother." Natsu couldn't believe it. Meeting her in a place like this? It was like a miracle all over again, it was the legend and the story he had been hoping to create to be told from generations from now. "Oh but, I forgot. What's your name?" Natsu blinked forgetting he had forgotten to ask. In all his excitement he remembered that she still was having trouble. After all he could feel her irritation rubbing against his skin. Though he was certain she would do just fine at the borders. She was a beautiful girl after all, and she hadn't been all that mean, just a bit snappy. Speech,

Vahva wasn't sure how to handle this mans excitement when he blurted out that they were blood related. He was wagging his tail and hopping around like a pup, the girl's eyes widened in surprise then narrowed as he spoke about it. Well he did give her some encouraging words, maybe they were at least worth something. She gave a snort, she wasn't him who could probably brush off everything with a laugh and a giggle. Yet, if he was her cousin that meant he was related to Niana then, she raised herself and stretched. "My name is Vahva, I don't know if I really can handle wolves like you can, but I guess it's worth a shot isn't it." She tilted her head, but never offered a smile, she never smiled not anymore at least. With more relief than anything though she lowered her head and gave a laugh that almost sounded fake. "I guess I'm not alone anymore am I. If I have family in Valhalla, then that's better than being alone." She said out loud. Looking at the male, he was mysterious that was for sure. Was he sure that he was an adult? Or even around her age at all. He looked to be only around a year older after all. Speech,

Natsu gave a nod to the girl, Vahva was it? It was a unique and amazing name. He couldn't hold his excitement but felt that she was being pressured. So he calmed himself and sat on his haunches, the wind moving through his fur as he watched her with his bright blue eyes. Alone? She was never alone though, there were hundreds of wolves in this world, even more than that, and he was positive plenty of them would enjoy her company. You just had to find the right crowd for you to be happy. "I swear I won't leave you alone, so at least you have me, right Vahva?" He said with a tilt of his head. It was an adventure waiting to happen as he gave a kind smirk. "One word, and one possible answer just isn't enough. The world is full of possibilities, stories and legends. If you don't make the effort to make your own life is no fun. Sure you may run into those who aren't very kind, but you can't just lock yourself out because of it. You have to show them that you're better then them and they can't do anything about it." Natsu explained in a nod. He laughed and flicked his black tipped tail back and forth. "Take a deep breath, and concentrate on the good things. Those left behind have joined with you to make the journey easier." The words carried off his tongue so easily. As if he had done this a thousand times already. Well, who said he hadn't after all. Speech,

Vahva watched Natsu closley, then there wasn't going to be everyone to reject her was there. The way he promised made her want to scoff, but at the same time it brought her heart up slightly. She finally gave a smile and started to laugh at the man. He was indeed interesting, no wonder he was related to her, she had seen how her mother knew the world. This was simply an amplified male version of it, that was for sure. "Well Natsu, if Night was still here, I'm sure she would have loved to have met you." Vahva noted sweetly. It was nice to have something like this in her grasp. It wasn't totally hopeless after all, but she still didn't like any others, it was only this stupid wolf she had to deal with. "Still not sure other wolves will like me though." she snorted. Speech,

Natsu looked at Vahva for a moment, was she honestly still downing herself about all these things? The boy frowned and hopped up to her, staring down at her nose then back up at her red eyes. "It doesn't matter if other wolves will like you or not, be who you are and don't let anyone tell you that it's wrong or right. Those who don't like you just have to deal with it, the only ones you have to care about are your comrades, friends, and family." He said softly and wagged his tail back and forth. The things that were important in this world to him, he would protect until the day he died. Before he died he was set on creating his own story and have his name bring the lights up in a pups eyes whenever they hear their favorite story about Natsu the great, or the brave, or the wise. It would be a name worth living as soon as he had done all he could, for all who he could do it for. That was a promise. "Besides whoever doesn't like you is simply missing out on all the fun." Natsu chuckled and sat down in front of her again. "Ahhh, do you need possible directions to Valhalla?" He blinked, remembering that she was seeking entry wasn't she. He couldn't just bring her there because he had other things to do before returning with some food. He wanted to see what kind of animals were around this area. Vahva would just have to listen to him and find the direction to the pack herself. Speech,
