Magnus walked through the mangrove and was sweltering in the heat. Even though his pelt had thinned he was still too hot. Especially his feet. The black was keeping in the sun. He stopped suddenly and looked around. This was pack territory, he could tell. He could smell the other wolves, which meant that they could smell him. He could be exiled or killed if he did not have a purpose. Well he could come here. Join this pack, even if it was only temporary. He might even stay if he'd liked it. Found a mate, found friends. He hadn't found love well since... Since, he pushed if from his mind.

He stopped and howled, hoping to attract attention.

(Speech)

It was oddly hot for the fall, she could feel the heat of the sun pounding upon her white pelt and she was thankful to not be marked like her husband. He was almost completely black and she knew the heat would affect him negatively on days like these. So she had volunteered to check the boundaries that day. Delicate white paws would tear over the pale earth as she hurried to finish the rounds, she wished to be back with her family. It was almost the time when her children would begin to be taken on hunts and she was already going over strategies with them. She was eager to take them on their first trip. Her thoughts were disrupted as the welcomed sound of a summoning howl filled her ears. A wolf who wished to join their ranks perhaps? She would turn her course, happy to allow herself the time for this stranger. She was always excited about new members and new family. Her trot would start and bring her quickly to the sight of the stranger wolf. First she would take in the deep blue of his eyes, and slowly look his tall form over. She was used to being shorter than most of the creatures she encountered. Greetings stranger, she would smile brightly, I'm Song Destruction, Borealis of Ludicael. What business might you have? Speech,

Magnus was happy to have gotten someone here so fast. He was very eager to join this pack. He would stay here. Find a mate, have some pups. It looked not too bad a place, the mangrove was strangely beautiful. In it's own way. "I would much like to join your pack. I would like to settle down, have a family." A smile spread across his face. The femme was beautiful. But he could smell a male on her. To flirt with her would be a death wish. Her smile made him smile only wider. He would surely be accepted. If he could find a mate like her... his smile was heading to his forehead now. God she was beautiful... shut up he told himself, if she was a leader she would have another leader as her mate. And that would really, truly be a death wish.

(Speech)

Song would imagine that the wolf would not have been waiting very long on her, and as his words quickly left his jaws she didn't think he would be standing at the border for too long of a time. As she had suspected he wished to join her in the family of Ludicael. "I would much like to join your pack. I would like to settle down, have a family." His goals were somewhat similar to her own, though when she had joined the pack her plan had certainly not included settling down. She had found Cherokee very early in her life, but she was glad that the events had happened to put her where she was that day. It sounds as though you have honorable goals, and I can see why you would choose Ludicael. It is a fine place to raise a family. She would tell him, What might you have to offer Ludicael? Are you a hunter, a warrior, maybe a healer? She would ask before granting him access. Speech,

She asked him his duty. He would reply honestly, he did not want to lie. "I am a warrior" he bowed his head in a show of respect. "And I thank you for telling me my goals are honarable, most people find wanting to settle down a, weak or petty thing. I have wanted a family since my love...Sierra... passed away." He looked to the sky. He did not know why he was sharing such personal information with song. But he did. He felt like he could trust her. This woman may not have been a possibility for a lover, but she was certainly a possibility for a friend.

(Speech)

As her question reached his ears he would reply with honesty, and she was glad of his answer. She could feel the tension rising in the lands, and if her hunch was correct they would desperately be in need of warriors. His head would bow respectfully to her, and she would become even more confident in her decision to allow him into her home. "And I thank you for telling me my goals are honarable, most people find wanting to settle down a, weak or petty thing. I have wanted a family since my love...Sierra... passed away." She could feel her ears fall in mourning, it was never easy losing someone you cared about, especially a mate. She had no idea what she would do with out her Cherokee. I'm very sorry to hear that. she'd whisper her condolences. This is where I came to raise my family, settling down is one of the most honorable actions one can do, to bring life into the world... she would trail off as she thought about why someone could belittle Magnus for wanting a family. Speech,

Magnus raised his head. She understood, she was kind, if all members of Ludicael were like this, it would be lovely. "I thank you for understanding. I would much like to join your pack. If everyone is as kind as you it will be Amazing. If you will have me of course"
He would think very highly of this female. Even if he was not accepted into ludicael, he would remember her. Her kindness. He could sense that she truly meant what she said. "Whoever your mate is is a lucky man. You are beautiful and kind and your memory shall stay with me forever, even if you decide not to accept me." Be looked up at her and bowed again. More solemn this time.

It really seemed that Magnus had found his much needed home, a place to rest and recuperate from the coldness of the world. Song would do her best to provide it, she would protect the land with everything she had so that wolves like him were able to have a place to feel safe and accepted. "I thank you for understanding. I would much like to join your pack. If everyone is as kind as you it will be Amazing. If you will have me of course. Whoever your mate is is a lucky man. You are beautiful and kind and your memory shall stay with me forever, even if you decide not to accept me." She was not ready for such kind words to reach her ears, but she was glad to have made such an impression upon him. It seemed like he would be a valued member of their pack, loyal and quite willing. You speak such kind words, Ludicael would be better with a member such as yourself. I would love to call you my pack brother. Welcome to the pack, Magnus. She would smile and nod her head in acceptance, Your Alpha, or Sol as we call her, is Jupiter. She is a fine queen who is fair and cares for her members. My husband Cherokee and I are the betas, and the pack is filled with our offspring. She would let a smile sneak to her face once more, trying to lift his spirits from the memory of his lost mate. We have a few members who would be more than happy to meet you, I think you'd particularly enjoy my friend Aurora. she smiled as she moved to head into the territory. Come, we'll tour the territory and look for Jupiter, she'll want to meet you. Speech,

Magnus's ears perked up. She had accepted him! His grin returned to his face. She started to move into pack territory. So Jupiter was the queen, and she sounded nice. And Song had even offered to introduce him to a friend.

He could not wait to meet his new pack. Still not believing the fact that be had been accepted. All thought of Sierra was gone from his mind just now and he was as happy as a flea on a mountain of dogs. He had made the right choice coming here. He trotted happily beside her. A huge grin on his face. This was a fresh start, away from the horrors of his past.

(Speech)

He would follow her eagerly, he seemed quite excited about his new home and all thoughts of sadness dissipated. She was glad to be able to offer him such a thing, and grateful to Jupiter for her allowance of such a respected rank. She felt passionate about her family and her responsibilities, ever glad to help her Sol with running of the pack. He would trot by her side she she took him past the border, Of course, all of Jupiter's words are to be obeyed. You don't seem like you want to endanger the pack, so I think you'll do well here. She would pad a bit father, searching for the scents of two specific wolves. Since she found herself unable to track them, she would call for them. With the slight tilt of her head a howl would leave her delicate lips. She would call for her sol, and for her friend Aurora. She wanted them to meet the new member. Speech,

She was right, he did not want to endanger the pack and he did not mind following orders. Song tilted her head and howled, it was a pretty sound, not to violent or rough. He had met some wolves with truly ghastly howls, things that sounded like nails on a chalkboard. She was clearly calling for the sol. Or someone else.

This place looked not bad. The autumn was strangely hot, why he thought, his feet felt like they were in a mini oven. His eyes danced around his surroundings. Wow, he thought. This was his home now. He did not know the role of a warrior, would he defend the pack at simply be called when they needed representing in a fight?

"Who are you calling for m'lady" he asked softly

(Speech)

A summoning howl would reach her ears, sensitive ones she used to track prey quite well. The call was from her friend Song, calling her to her for a reason the alabaster temptress could not fathom. So she set off, her long legs eating up the distance at an easy lope. As she came closer, her hyper sensitive olfactory sensor detecting an unfamiliar scent, coupled with that of her friend. So, she left the shadows of the Mangrove behind, revealing herself to the wolves in the clearing. As her pace slowed, and her feminine hips would pick up their natural sway, her long ivory banner sweeping along her tall heels. She met her friends eyes, smiling kindly and dipping her head respectfully to the man who she did not know. You called, Song? She spoke, an eyebrow raised quizzically. Her voice was melodic, otherworldly, but quiet as a whisper, and smooth as silk. The only thing to marr such a beautiful voice was her faint Russian accent. She stood a few of her long strides from the pair of wolves, and waited. Her face would not show emotion, yet in her eerie, consuming moonstone pools, there was curiosity. Talk like this

Magnus was stunned by this woman's beauty. She had thick, ivory fur, much like his own (apart from his feet and tail), silver eyes, like the moon on a summers eve. Her paws were large but suited her In a way that it would not have suited other women. She had a slight ladylike swish to her hips and two feathers, that he suspected were raven, swished behind her as she walked. She was truly, stunning. As beautiful, if not prettier than Song. She would no doubt have a mate too.

He bowed back to the female. "Hello, I am Magnus Bane, you may call me Magnus. I am new to Ludicael." He looked up to her then to Song. This was no doubt Aurora.

(Speech)

The male would curiously follow her lead his paws in line with hers as she strode through her home, "Who are you calling for m'lady" She would finish her summoning and stay where she was, she would not want to wander off after asking those two by her side. She hoped they would appear, she wanted Magnus to meet Aurora both of them seemed so lonely. Well, Jupiter is one and I'd love for you to meet my friend Aurora who I mentioned earlier. She smiled at him encouragingly. It would not be long before the white form was within her view, her gorgeous aura spilling out before her as she made herself visible. You called, Song? She nodded in greeting and would bridge the gap between them, giving her old friend a quick nuzzle. I want you to meet our new member, Magnus. She would back away so that the two could get a good look at each other. Speech,

"Hello Aurora, Song has talked about you" he dipped his head again. As he had thought before she was truly beautiful. "This is our new member Magnus. She said member." Said Song. It made him feel like he was part of a family. Well he was, Ludicael was his new family.

"I would much like to see more of the pack lands. It would be a pleasure if you showed me around" he did not really address it to either of the women. He loved Auroras accent, it had a subtle Russian hint. Well Russians were know for thier elegance and beauty. That is what this woman radiated.

(Speech)

Wolf from dawnthieves, manip by Ocena. Character belongs to Denden! The albino woman accepted Song's nuzzle, returning a greeting by resting her deceptively delicate cranium upon her neck. Listening to Song's introduction, as well as Magnus', she dipped her tiara in a respectful greeting to the duo toned male. A new packmate? Wonderful, Ludicael could always use more members. As Magnus mentioned Song had been talking about the alabaster temptress herself, she was shocked. What was her friend up to today? She looked at her friend with mock scolding, a smile playing at her lips. "Oh has she now? Well, I'm sure she has at least introduced herself, right, my dear?" She asked the woman, lifting an eyebrow and chuckling. The sound was like a mockingbird's cry before it took off, melodious and sweet. At his comment on being shown around, Aurora would surely oblige. She turned around, looking over her petite shoulder and waving her silky banner, beckoning for the pair to follow. A pair of raven's feathers danced wildly at the quick motion, and she was still as a statue once more, waiting. A flawless marble statue of elegance. "speech!"

"Yes she has, I am happy to make your acquaintance. You are truly stunning Aurora" He turned to look at song and before she saw winked at Aurora. Her eyes shon in the sun. "I would very much like to get to know you Aurora." He flirted in a very subtle way. Not in a very obvious or playful way that other men flirted. This girl was sweet and he did not want to offend her by making too big a move.


He moved slowly over toward her, the ground soft under his paws. He was not too hot now. He seemed to have cooled down. He stood beside her and looked at her. "So this is your home, well I suppose it is now mine too." Be smiled

(Speech)

His compliment left the ivory damsel stunned for a moment, ironically. Was Magnus..... Flirting? She wasn't sure what to do, was she supposed to flirt back? At his next comment, she decided to simply go for it, because she would most likely regret not doing so in the future. "And I would like to get to know you, Magnus." She murmured in return, smiling at him. He was a tiny bit smaller than her, and yet, Aurora felt like a tiny child. She could care less that her gigantic build made finding a man bigger than her next to impossible, because now, in this moment, she felt something towards this wolf. When he mentioned this place, calling it home, the angelic furred woman was hit with the realization that it was her home. She finally had one. She had always thought of her old forest as home, the one that had been ravaged and destroyed by a fire. But this was home, her real home. So, with a grin that teased up her lips to reveal her teeth, she let out a sigh of contentment, and replied. "Yes, I guess it is."

She flirted back!?! That changed everything. She might have been a few inches taller than him but she didn't seem to mind. This filled him with a newfound hope, he might have a chance of a family here, he could have what he couldn't have with Sierra. Stop it! He told himself. It would ruin everything if he kept comparing her to Sierra. He had to forget her, she was gone.

What should he do next he asked himself. Casual or flirt. He decided casual. "I cannot wait to meet the rest of the pack." He smiled at her, In a kind of lazy, but flirty way. There a flirty smile. That wasn't too much but it wasn't completely casual. He really had fallen for this girl, he didn't know what it was, but he had.
