A Little Twist Of Faite
07-02-2016, 01:26 AM
As usual Faite had that itch to go exploring again. She was a social creature with the need to find new faces and the thirst for knowledge. Not that she expected to find any enlightenment on this journey of hers but the thought of making at least one new friend while she was away was exciting. While past attempts at finding new wolves to bring home had failed, she was more than hopeful that this time would result in a success. They weren't hurting for new members but she wanted to see the pack prosper and grow. Maybe she could even find someone interested in taking up the rank of hunter. She knew Varda needed all the help she could get. Faite had set out the day before, not forgetting to let Regulus know which direction she was headed, and then spent most of that day taking her time. She had no set destination in mind and she was in no hurry to get there. She had ample enough time to explore and get the lay of the land as she traveled. It allowed her to stop and smell the roses (so to speak) and with spring finally upon them it was a wonderful sight. Flowers were already starting to sprout in areas and she was sure it wouldn't be long now before the healers would be able to scout and gather more herbs. She'd miss the snow but there was always something exciting about spring that put her in a good mood. The girl finally paused when she reached a rather odd looking place. It was a plateau like any other but it was the half hidden objects that made it stand out. She hadn't realized it at first that there were strange things half buried until she'd stepped on something sharp. Pausing to look at her foot her dual colored gaze rested upon the fragment that stuck out of her paw like a thorn. Blood trickled from the wound but she paid it no mind. It stung a bit but it was nothing that wouldn't heal quickly on its own. No what bothered her was that she had no idea what it was. It was metal and sharp but past that she'd never seen anything like it. She picked it with her teeth away from her paw pad and spat in on the ground before continuing. Upon further inspection there were all sorts of "treasures" to be found ranging from strange metal "sticks" (guns) half rotted and decayed and pins and bobbles that she couldn't put a name to. Had she been with a much older wolf they probably could have told her they were human objects, but she wasn't privy to this knowledge so they remained a mystery to her. Instead she could only sit and gawk at them with immense curiosity as she tried to figure out what they were and why they existed in the first place only to be abandoned here. Walk, "Talk" Think |

The northernmost lands, as well as winter seemed a distant memory now, though in reality it had not been all that long ago. He was merely pleased to have completely left behind the desolate landscape that he had spent so many days wandering aimlessly through. Adrian had grown accustomed to his life of solitude, but when almost every day he was greeted by a vast expanse of nothingness, with only a few exceptions, it could prove to be quite lonely and.. depressing. Although it had made him stronger too, both mentally and physically. He was realizing that now.
None of that mattered now, however. Prey was plentiful, free for the taking, spring plants and flowers were quite literally everywhere, and the best part was.. the fields seemed to go on forever. There was not one mountain in sight. Only small hills, which he could easily traverse. He'd not been so content in quite a good amount of time.
With every one of the important needs met for the moment with the exception of shelter, the sandy wolf was free to explore the land at his choosing. As usual, he had no particular direction, but his paws still somehow managed to carry him to a place that was incredibly out of the ordinary from what he'd seen so far. It had started out the same, just a small hill leading up to another expanse of land, but when he'd discovered the.. object, he had then begun to notice all of the other things around.
Small things, mostly, that one could potentially miss. Golden eyes stared down at the thing before him. The object was long and thin, seeming to be made out of wood, albeit incredibly smooth, unlike anything he'd ever seen before except when it was very old. It was also made of some other element that was not quite like anything he had ever seen before. Everything here was.. unnatural. What could this thing be? What purpose did it, or had it served?
A number of questions ran through Adrian's mind. Unfortunately he realized, he would probably never get them answered, unless he looked for them himself. And even then, most of his answers would probably only be his best guess. Wandering a little further, he discovered something even more intriguing that lie contained within a slight dip in the land.
This object (wrecked tank) was large, and seemed to be made of a similar material to what the other half of the smaller object was. It was obviously old and disfigured, appearing kind of like a cave with a gaping hole in the side of it, and it seemed to beckon him forth. Adrian approached it, completely forgetting about caution, only pausing once he was close enough to rest his paw upon it's surface. Again, smooth and cold to the touch. But not like rock, this had a different feel to it.
Realizing he could go in further, he did just that, climbing into the rather small, confined space. His eyes eagerly studied every detail within the interior of the thing, even if he still had no idea as to what he was looking at. Perhaps it could function as a shelter, though. He was out of the sun, and it might also keep him dry from rain. He would just need to find a way to make the surface a bit more comfortable to lie on.

The longer she sat there the more she realized she wasn't going to learn anything. No amount of studying the strange objects was going to tell her what they were. Losing interest in them rather quickly, she soon rose to her paws and padding farther along the plateau. Even without the strange bits of metal littering the ground, there were still many things to focus on. It was a rather nice day out after all and any territory was worth exploring. This one happened to be one of the more interesting ones, even with the lack of natural land marks and things to do. Faite's interest soon switched from the landscape to something odd in the distance. It jutted out just enough for her to be able to see it over the hill. Curiosity consumed her as she padded towards it. She knew she wouldn't figure out what it was either but it was certainly worth the trip. She'd have a fun story to tell her youngest siblings and her mother when she returned home. She wondered briefly if Regulus had made a trip here yet. If not she certainly was going to try and convince him to come here. Maybe he had a better idea of what had been here before them. She finally reached the hill and was surprised to see a large structure. It was a bit bent and very much broken looking. She moved closer to investigate but was surprised when another scent hit her nose. She paused for a moment and her nostrils quivered in surprise. She hadn't been expecting company out here. They were loner lands so she shouldn't have been too shocked. Maybe they were as interested in this thing as she was? She maneuvered around the side of it towards the more open and broken part of the thing and peered inside. There she came across the sight of the other wolf. Bi-colored gaze rested on the sandy wolf as she looked him over. He was slightly taller than her and his lighter colored pelt was fun to look at as the browns shifted from sand to cream with black flecks mixed in. She didn't focus on his appearance for too long and instead offered a friendly smile. "Hi!" She greeted him with her usual sunny care-free nature. She'd never had much caution with strangers after all. "You wouldn't happen to know what this thing is, would you?" She ask. She had no qualms about quickly initiating conversation. Of course if he didn't want to she'd just continue along her travels and leave him be. There were bound to be more things to explore around here before she decided to head home. Walk, "Talk" Think |
