All You Have Is Your Fire...

Pyralis was wandering along the creek bed, or had been until she'd spied a particularly decent set of trout swimming in the area nearby. She'd froze almost immediately and bit by bit the fish were starting to swim back to a small cove that shot off from the creek near which the goddess was waiting. It was almost agonizing for her to stay still so long. When one finally got near her head shot down like lightning. She seized the fish in her jaws and was about to haul it to shore when the powerful tail whipped around and smacked her in the face. "Oh!" She let out a yell, dropping the fish flopping onto the ground. "No, no no!" she pounced, trying to get holding of the wriggling creature by throwing her forelegs over it.

Today seemed like a good day to stop lazing around. And it was a good thing, because as she was headed towards the lands beyond her territory, she heard a noise coming from the creek. Uh oh, had one of Ana's kids fallen in? Were they drowning now? Rolling her eyes, she trotted towards the water and nearly ready to leap in and play lifeguard, but what she found instead was even better! Instead of a drowning pup, she found her littermate trying to get the upper paw on a flopping trout. She couldn't help herself, a laugh escaped her as she watched her sister struggle with the fish. Oh, this was priceless! She had seen many funny things in her life, but watching Pyralis fight a fish was so far, the best thing she'd ever seen! "It would be easier if you got your teeth on it, y'know. Less wiggle room." She came to a stop near her sister, a teasing grin on her face.

OOC: Hope you two don't mind Ardat dropping in...? If so I'll remove her.


Again, the female's paws had began to move, but without much else known to the girl, she'd returned to the place her sister had been days ago. A sigh escaped her ashen lips, and she walked slowly. If these two places, are the only two in this pack, it's about to be boring. She was referring to the den and this creek she was aiming for. Thinking as she walked, Ardat tried to remember what had woken her. Clearly it wasn't her siblings snoring, for they were already out and about, probably getting into a vast amount of trouble. With a roll of her shoulders, she rounded the bush she hid near before, voices reached her ears, as well as splashing. Intrigued, her own soft-colored ears perked up, and her minty eyes intensified, scanning the cattails for the signs of others.

Unfortunately, she was too far away to make out what either was saying, but she could pick up on their tones and knew that they were both female. Silently, the girl stalked forward, her focus on trying her hand at being stealthy. She rounded the weeds her sister was wrestling, the broken pieces left in her wake a reminder of their first encounter with their elongated family. Her tail swayed behind her, flicking twice in anticipation of what she'd see as she peered around the cluster, her cover would be gone, or blown, the moment she did. Inhaling sharply, the girl let her head snake around, and she caught sight of two wolves. She analyzed their faces, but from this distance, she was still on the lower end, not able to gauge them properly. I must get closer, her brows knit, and she drew back, creeping around the other side of the water-logged plants.

As she drew closer, keeping to the edge of the creek, her paws slipped, and a startled yelp fell from her lips. It wasn't that she was afraid, she had known how to swim, it was the fact that the ground had given way underfoot, and unearthed her, sending her spiraling into the water. With a splash, the girl's head went under, and as she clawed her way to the surface she sputtered. It was definitely not the entrance she wanted to make. Drenched, and treading water, she drew toward the edge, and struggled to pull herself up.

Pride was waning, her eyes dark with disgust at herself, but her face struggling to remain expressionless. Her ears drew back in shame as she shook out the water, and she spoke, her calm voice faltered a little, "I'm sorry I interrupted." It wasn't like her to be so clumsy. She was ashamed, but determined not to look weak in front of these two. She drew a little closer, but remained safely at a distance from them. It's not bad to be cautious, and know ones' escape. Her head tilted a little as she drew out her safety path back to the den. Once all was "to plan" she turned her attention back to the adults. Their smell was similar, in a way, but also extremely different.

All You Have Is Your Fire...

Pyralis was about to get her jaws around the fish when she heard her sisters voice. Grinning she turned to her sister and sneered. "I was about to til you opened your face." She playfully blew a raspberry at her sister, grinning all the while. The fish continued to flail beneath her but with her weight settled over it the fish wasn't going anywhere. It had been awhile since she'd had a chance to hang around her sister. Even when they were younger she'd been prone to wandering and when she was at home well, she and Amon may as well have been born siamese twins the way they'd been attached at the him. Well, til her great journey. When she'd finally broken free from the family she ran and ran until some how she'd managed to run so far she ended right back into the clan again. This time was better though. This time Amon was the leader.

Her head dipped down again to start eating her meal. She ripped at the flesh, pulling off great chunks to eat as she carefully worked around the bones. It was nice for a change but ultimately it reminded her why she preferred other prey. It was a lot of work for what seemed like little meat. She was chewing on the head of the fish when a yelp caught her attention and she turned to see one of Ana's new pups. Pyralis laughed as the girl fell in the water. She grinned and licked the blood from her lips. "Oh, you're fine dear. We weren't doing anything important. You're Ardat aren't you? I'm your aunt Pyralis and this is your aunt Kasdeya. Where's your mother?"
