Blue green eyes searched the trees beyond Valhalla's borders. He had decided to come after his meeting with Seraphine, thinking it over about three days before his paws led him here. Three days since he had met the energetic and enthusiastic young wolf, and already he had found himself thinking of her since they departed. Her words rang in his head, "I live in Valhalla, visit me!" He hadn't looked back then, but he never stopped thinking. At last he was here, and he hoped to see her again. He glanced back and forth, wondering if he'd catch a glimpse of her or any of her pack mates. He hadn't been long in these lands, a year without a pack, and he had found Angeal but...he decided not to go to the same pack as him. So he thought that now as a good a time as ever to start anew and begin his life again. He was used to following orders, and so that's what he sought. To join a pack and serve until the day his last breath took him to the kingdom above. Or the raging inferno beneath his feet. The two toned male opened his maw, releasing a hollow sounding howl that resonated beyond the trees. Calling whoever was nearby, telling them that he was here. His toes barely touched land where the border lied. And the wait began... Speech Thought Others

think not, feel not, hear not, act not, see not, believe not. That string of words had repeated itself into Thane's mind as he had grown up. Here the brute was, a grown man still reciting the words in his mind. Even so as the man thought about these words he hobbled on his route around the borders of the territory. His leg was almost healed but he still walked with a hobble. At least the leg had set properly and didn't look like a gnarly thing. Aqua blue eyes looked this way and that; hoping to catch a glimpse of someone he knew. Yet as each day passed by Thane's hope slowly faded away. The outer layer had melted off but there was the everlasting gleam of hope that would not go away like the others. It would stay there forever until the thing he was hoping for was fulfilled.

Even as the man hobbled along he thought he thought about bringing his on with him once he turned a year old. Thane knew of the training all of the yearlings in the pack were receiving for certain positions. He wondered if his son would make a fine Delta; but then Ryker was the only one to stick close to Valhalla and with him. As for his siblings who had gone missing after their mother. If all he had to keep close was his son then by the stars he would! Thane watched as the boy turned out more and more like him with each passing day. The only difference between the two were the way they both grew up. White lined ears perked up as a howl reached the man's audits. He did not rush but took his time for he was close to the caller.

It sounded like someone sought acceptance maybe? Perhaps a visitor? Perhaps a traveler? A wandered? Either or all wolves were welcome, as long as they were kind and gracious. As the brute made his way through the brush his aqua blue gaze settled on the calling soul.

"Greetings traveler, My name is Thane Tsarev. What is it you seek being so close to these borders? Whether it be hospitality, acceptance, or a place to learn about, I can assist you. so which one may it be that you have come here for?" he said as he quickly looked the wolf up and down for any suspicious or hostile signs or movements.

This brute looked like he had just sat down a little while ago. Perhaps Thane made it here in better time as his leg was mending quite well.

Silver audits slowly perked themselves in the direction of heavy mismatched footsteps. Dual toned eyes searched before him, catching in their range a mostly gray and black toned male approaching with a limp. Eyes remained calm and devoid of any emotion as the stranger approached. He guessed it would be the one to answer his call, as nobody else was scented upon the winds. With care, he listened to the polite tone of the male. So Thane was his name...quite a strong brute he seemed. His questions came at Sephiroth in a kind and almost hopeful manner. And without having to think, Sephiroth nodded to him in the respect of a higher up. Noting the way the man called Thane looked him over. Mentally, Sephiroth laughed. If he wanted to cause harm then he would have stalked the shadows of Valhalla undetected and would have already done his bit of trouble. But he was a changed wolf now. The meeting with Angeal had confirmed that. "Hello, Thane. I am Sephiroth Crescent. I am seeking to join the pack called Valhalla, if accepted then you can be assured that I will fulfill any and all duties and tasks handed down to me. I will serve and fight till my last dying breath to protect this pack and those within." He replied with effortless ease as if he had already practiced this. Truth was, he already knew what he wanted. His words did ring true...but all the while, he thought of Seraphine. He would join to protect her, and give his life for her. Nothing would deter that. "So I stand before you, if you are the one to accept then I do hope that I am up to standard. I am a skilled fighter, and my abilities will surely never disappoint this pack." Speech Thought Others

The man eyes the stranger before him as he waited. But as quickly as he had appeared as a stranger did those walls crumble down to someone he would know now, Sephiroth. Now this brute Sephiroth Crescent seemed quite determined to be in this pack. His words spoke of loyalty, very much loyalty. He himself said he would do anything and serve and fight until his last breath. Quite impressive it was. White lined ears remained perked up as the wolf before him spoke again. He waited for acceptance as be said he could fight and serve with his abilities. With a moment passing by Thane eventually gave a slow nod before speaking.

"I am sure that what you say is true. If not then you may even grow in your skill set here. I hope you are as good as you say for in my opinion you seem to make a fine addition to our Valhallan family. Your request is accepted, welcome home; and welcome to the "family". he said with a friendly smile.

Even though about half of his biological family was somewhere he did not know...Thane was reminded of his big family, Valhalla. This made the brute smile and be grateful. It made him sort of happy to know he had others to turn to. Thane hoped Sephiroth would find this as well, that he would enjoy it here too. Honestly Thane couldn't imagine living in any other pack. If he had to he would go back to his old pack if It wasn't disbanded and dead. This is what he had left, his family and the pack he resided in.

With a final nod Thane turned around and took a few steps back into the border before stopping. He stopped and then turned his head and smiled. Motioning with his head for Sephiroth to follow Thane would walk him home.

-Exit Thane-

OOC:sorry, looks kinda short. *goes back to homework

Sephiroth waited with undying determination. His eyes never leaving the form in front of him, as he waited for a response. Finally, it would come. Thane had decided that he was a good addition. Sephiroth nodded in return, and proceeded to follow Thane into his new home. What adventures would he have next? Would he see Seraphine here? Maybe spend time with her? The excitement was expertly contained as he followed calmly. He had a home now. And he would soon get to see his friend, Seraphine. -EXIT SEPHIROTH- Speech Thought Others
