It had been just a little over two weeks since the pups had been born, and not long after that they had opened he had opened his eyes, taking in his first glimpse of the world. The small pup, moved towards the round orb of light, that lit up the small area that had been his world. He moved slowly, but with determination, his stubby legs carrying himself as graceful as they could manage between occasional stumbles. He was nearly there now, the light was growing brighter, and brighter with every excited step.

Breaking into the sunlight, he blinked several times, disoriented as he adjusted to the light of the world. It was cold, and his fur was being ruffled by something, what did the big wolves call that? A triumphant grin danced along his jaws, as he walked forward slowly, letting out a high pitched howl, of triumph. He had made it, he was out in the world!

Vereux wanted to stay in the den longer, and sleep, as long as he could. Really it was the best thing, after two weeks of life it was what he had found most enjoyable was the dreams he had(mainly consisting of hunting rabbits and thrashing them about). Though, after hearing his brothers puppy howl, fairly high pitched as the male stood on his paws clumsily. What was so important that he needed to make such a noise? Flimsy he crawled and clawed his way out of the den, until his brother, lighter color than him, appeared. The boy looked at Gensis, and gave a small smirk. That looked like a lot of fun. He stood beside the boy and lifted up his head to make his own high pitched noise, that many could possibly consider annoying. His eyes widened though when he realized how vast this place was, was this the outside? "Genesis, we're OUTSIDE!" There was white stuff covering the ground. It was cold too, very cold, Vereux splayed himself into it. Laughing at it as he stuck his tongue on it curiously. It melted in his mouth! Vereux was filled with wonder as he turned to his brother and wiggled his skinny excuse for a tail. "What IS this stuff?!" He exclaimed excitedly. Speech,

The world was coated in white. The air was cold, a stark contrast to the warm world he has experienced at his mothers side thus far. An excited squeal sounded behind him, and he turned to see his brother Vereux enter the wonderful white world. 'Genesis we're OUTSIDE!' His brother exclaimed, and Genesis nodded excitedly, his little tail wagging. He watched as his brother looked around in wonder. "Yes! We're outside!" He said in soft amusement, as he looked around his amber eyes wide in awe. More white was falling from the sky, and a small flake landed on his nose. It was shockingly cold, and he watched, nearly going cross-eyed as it melted, disappearing into his skin. "VEREUX! We should go explore!" He suggested excitedly. Speech,

Vereux smiled at his brother, yes exploring! The little boy pressed up against Genisis happily licking him over the cheek in a slightly brotherly affection. Before shooting off into the snow. Tripping over his paws before doing a somersault into one of the pine tree's. He was upside down green eyes looking up at his lighter colored brother. He giggled splaying his paws out towards him. "Maybe I should go a bit slower." He squeaked, pulling himself over and shaking the white stuff off of him. He looked towards his brother for him to lead the way. On their little adventure, Vereux couldn't wait. He wanted to be out in the world, and he was ready to conquer it one paw step at a time. Little ones at that. Speech,

Athea blinked open her two-toned gaze sleepily, her little jaws stretching wide in a yawn. As soon as she had worked the sleep out of her eyes she glanced around the den, seeing both of her brothers gone. "Wait, gone?! Where are they!" she thought, scrambling up to her still slightly unsteady legs. She shook out her fluffy fur and steadied herself before running up to the door of their den, skidding to a halt at the edge of the cold, bright white snow. She caught sight of them a little ways away, seeing Vereux upside down against a tree. She bounced over to Genesis, her little paws making holes in the snow, and her head tilted to the side as she looked at Vereux curiously. "What're you doin?" she asked, looking back and forth between her brothers. ooc: finally got her accepted. jeeze. Speech Thought Others

He watched his brother tumble, landing in a pile of snow as a chortling burst of laughter left him. Trotting carefully through the snow, which appeared to be more of a rabbit hop than a trot he reached his brother's side just in time to hear his words. "I think that's maybe a yes." He giggled, as he playfully scooped some snow in a paw, flinging it on his brother.

A voice broke into his play, and he turned to see his sister Athena. 'What're you doin?' His sister asked, and he turned casting a wicked grin at his brother before casting a pawful of snow at his sister. "Playing." He sang as he watched it fly towards her.

The wraith had just been returning from a bit of a hunt outside of the territory and three little voices happened to catch her interest no doubt spawn of her brother with a brow rose the dame made her way towards the three. Standing off slightly as she watched them play around in the snow seemingly having just gotten to leave their den and seemingly explore the big world outside of it no doubt it being a shock to them all and very, very cold with the winter that now plagued their home and much of Alacritis. Drawing closer finally the phantom likely had been seen or smell by them before she was upon the three, a bloodied haunch sitting within her jaws seeing Abel had eaten their fill perhaps they were hungry. Setting down the meat the fea titled her head. ?Well, well three little fur balls already out of the den, hm?? Her words proving to be soft as those eyes drifted from one to the other no doubt the family was growing due to her beloved brother perhaps in time the dame would add to it.

Vereux straightened himself out as soon as his brother flung snow at him. He lunged forward to try and catch the snow in his mouth only for it to land on his snout. He laughed and shook the snow free, before turning his head towards his sister. "We're doing MANLY playing!" He snickered. Moving over to her and tapping her on the head. It wasn't until he heard someone new and smelt someone new that he pulled his ears back to look at who it was. "Who are you, I'm Vereux!" He happily bounded over towards the lady. Bunny hopping as you wished, flicking his skinny tail. She was so much bigger than him. Though not as big as his daddy. His daddy was huge! Then again every single adult to him seemed big. Speech,

Athena sputtered and shook her head as her brother sent a scoop of snow flying into her face. She blinked her eyes open again and glared at Genesis just as her other brother said that they were doing manly playing and tapped her on the head, irritating her more. She was just about to tackle Vereux into the snow when a new voice caught her attention and she turned to see who had interrupted them. She saw the fea that was a blue color a couple of feet from them and wondered why she would care if they were out of the den or not. Shrugging the thought off she followed Vere over to her, sitting down on her haunches beside her brother. "And I'm Athena," she replied as well, watching the fea curiously. Speech Thought Others

Isardis Armada

The commotion of his bustling children was enough to encourage The King forth with a brisk bounce to his stride, features tainted to that of eagerness and mild worry. He didn?t want the treasured blood of his queen to venture unsupervised; their lives that of importance to his packs standings, and to his emotional wellbeing. They were not his first babes, but they were the first he had aided in upbringing; he loved them, in a twisted way that was no less than unexplainable. Awkward he was in his emotional ties to them, but as he rounded a small bend in the pines to find Abelinda watching over them, he could do less than smirk proudly. Weren?t they all so precious, perfect? Genesis? markings were one of an oddity, however he wouldn?t frown upon his strange colouration; Satis had proven to be his acceptance of difference. His sons played amongst themselves, small Athena seeming to be the centre of their torture. He meandered casually towards the group, stepping carefully over the tiny bodies to reach down and scoop the small female into his jaws, where he would then carry her a few strides away; to place her down between his paws and groom dotingly at the base of her tiny tail, ?A princess must always look the part.?

This is the grace that only we can bestow.

Their teasing of their only sister went on, and Genesis found himself snickering at the comment his brother made. 'Manly playing,' Yes, that sounded good. A new scent flooded his nostrils, and his head whipped around to see where it was coming from. A large wolf was moving towards them, with the bloody haunch of some kind of creature in her jaws. Amber eyes flickered to his brother and sister, as they bounded over, and he moved more slowly, his head held high in a semblance of grace, well deserved for him as he eyed the female. Coming to a stop near his siblings, he looked at her quizzically, before he spoke. "Is that for us?" His head tilted ever so slightly to the left as his eyes flickered back and forth from the haunch to the lady. " I am Genesis." He spoke calmly, quite proud of his name. Suddenly, an albino form appeared, one he recognized as his father. The king moved in scooping Athena in his jaws, and coming to rest grooming her. Turning towards his father, he listened to his fathers words to his sister before turning back to the strange lady, more curious as to what she brought for them, then whatever apparently torture his sister was undergoing. He shuddered to think of his father or mother 'grooming' him. Ew. Speech,

Well thins only proved to get all that more interesting as a brow was rose as she watched the two brothers playing with one another while their sister seemed to be the one in the center of all of their torture. Before the silver dame could do a thing he beloved brother showed up scooping up the sister before trotting off with her a few paces away. Smiling a tad the serpent turned her gaze to the ones before her. ?Abelinda; your aunt and yes this is for you all.? The serpent would speak lightly as her gaze left the small forms before her proving to switch to the back of her brother. ?Be sure to share the meal; it will be one of the many you will receive.? Stepping past the two before her she'd stand just to the right of him. ?So the King finally decides to come out and play, hm?? Of course teasing him, why not after all? Despite with her niece and nephews here she saw little harm in it after all they were all family by blood.

Vereux tilted his head to one side looking at the meat curiously. Though his head turned slightly to his father and sister, frowning a bit at the fact that he wasn't being payed attention to. Though he was more concentrated on the meat at the moment. His skinny tail flicked back and forth as he gave a simple nod to his aunt and hopped up to the meat. Giving a bit of a cheesy smile to his brother as he sniffed the meat once more before taking a small test bite. This was DELICIOUS, his tail started wagging back and forth. His first taste of fresh meat, before he started taking more nibbles of it. Leaving room for his brother obviously. And it looked like his father was occupying his sister at the moment. "What is this?" Vereux asked wondering if the two adults would even listen to him since they were speaking. He wanted to know though, since it was just a lump of blood from the looks of it now. And two feet, or something around there. Speech,
