A Hopeful Wish

[~*Silver*~]

Sheba looked up at the twin trees, should she make a wish to Tor to give her brother eyesight? His nose and ears worked alot better than a normle wolf so even since he is blind he can still hunt but if only he had working eyes. He would be great, he was wise at such a young age but because of his eyes he could not hope for a high postion. She knew Luna planned on becoming the lead hunter when she was older so that she would have enough power to stop other wolves from mistreating Zephyr. Zephyr was born blind, it was not fair! He could have become an alpha if only he had eyesight!


Sheba knew Zephyr did not like being pitied or other varg treating him gentally because of his sight. Zephyr was level headed and strong even if he was blind he had taken down a fawn some time ago. Sheba edged closer to the twin trees, she truly wished what they said about them was true. She would wish for Zephyr to have eyesight even if it cost her her life! She felt that Cassiel was close by, she would have to wait untill later to wish for Zephyr's eyesight.

Cassiel crept forward, his brown fur glistening in the shining sun, his blue eyes looking over to Sheba as he asked bluntly, "What are you doing here?"

He had followed Sheba over here at a descreit distance, curious as to why she would walk to the twin trees with some ledgend. He sat down on an outcropping rock near the twin trees, looking to his sister. His long tail wagged slightly as he looked about the area, wondering what else could of brought her to this area.

Besides the twin trees, all that was around here were more trees, nothing interesting in that.

[~*Silver*~]

Sheba tried to think up a lie but she knew she couldn't fool Cassiel, out of all the other pups Cassiel had always been the one she stayed with. Even if all the pups were very close, Zephyr and Luna depened on eachother the way Sheba depended on Cassiel and Cassiel to Sheba. She had always told him what was troubling her but she knew she couldn't now. All of the pups called Zephyr, Zeph with the exception of Luna who called him Zephy. Sheba was the only one who called Cassiel, Cass.

"I was just out for a walk, that's all." Sheba lied to him, even though she knew it was to no avail. Sheba sat down beside the Twin Trees and looked down at the pool bellow. She sighed, knowing that Cassiel would chastise her for thinking in such a way. Sheba knew that perhaps Cassiel would be great, even if he started his own pack she would still love him. The pups had been brought up close because Sky made sure of it. Sheba then looked at the sky above, were Tor and Fenris really looking down on them, looking after them?

[Blizzard]

Cassiel stood up from the rock he was sitting on, striding over to Sheba and simply sitting beside her before saying, "Zephyr is stronger than you give him credit for Sheba, and you know that." He looked up to the sky, adding, "He isn't happy with everyone treating him as though he is weak."

He turned his gaze from the sky to the twin red leafed trees, standing up to stride towards them. Blue eyes looked and reflected the bright red before he sat down at the base of one of the large trees, saying, "I wonder what it is like at the top."

[~*Silver*~]

"I know but it isn't fair! Why did he have to be born blind while the rest of us have sight?" She replied even though she knew he was right. Even though Zephyr was strong, he was blind and perhaps it balance out. He was blessed with intelligence beyond his years and he was also the first one to speak. She know knew that Zephyr was destined to be born blind, "What do Tor and Fenris have for Zephyr? What do they have for the rest of us varg. We are born with sight yet, Zephyr didn't even have any at birth!" Sheba yelled at the heavens before letting her tears come out, they had all had times when they pitied Zephyr to the point where they cried. It had only happend to Cassiel once, when they were still very small pups.

Sheba laid down and tried to calm herself. All she could do was pray to Tor for her to look over Zephyr, the rest of her siblings and her Ma, Sky. Sheba sighed, pitying herself for pitying Zephyr. She knew that she would have to worry about other varg other than Zephyr to make Zephyr feel better, to help him feel equal.

"Being fair is for the weak. Tor and Fenris do not exsist. They are for the hopeless cubs who need a crutch in life."

A lean monochromatic form slithered into the scene, standing effortlessly on a limb of one of the trees. Her colorless eyes glistened among the contrast of the shadows of the blood laden leaves.

A thin, demonic line that could have been seen as a smile in the eyes of the truly observant crossed her features, morphing into a full blown, toothy grin. Still, the bloody leaves surrounded her form couldn't have felt any safer.

"I've kept an eye on your brother Zephyr. He's strong, even without sight. He would do well in anything he did. He just has to have the right..coaching."

Drea smirked, an angry recognition lighting up her ivory eyes. The question of Cassiel couldn't have brought any other feeling but of her pre-Alpha days.

"Up there? Only the strongest and the best go up there. They say they've seen the true gods, the ones that really have the power in this world. Citali couldn't make it up there. They say that's where she died. Do you remember her?"

The cruel smile was back, just a simple, jagged line. There was no feeling within her eyes, but the way she gripped the limb of the tree gave away to her inward anger.

[Blizzard]

Cassiel began to growl low, but a deeper rumble suddenly filled the air. Cassiel stood up infront of Sheba and looked about before listening intently, a deep voice saying, "Run, coward, for only evil beings growl at pups and mock the dead."

A large silver wolf sprinted out of the trees, a snarl printed all over his face as he literally flew from the trees, long strides pulling him forward at a fast rate. Cassiel looked from the silver wolf to Drea, confused. Neither of them smelt like they were good, but one smelt of anger and danger, while one was...protective. The large silver wolf bound over and past the two pups, leaping from the bottom of one tree and up into the branches. Ivory fangs glistened brightly, along with the hard and intense blue eyes, the same rumbling from before filling the air.

[~*Silver*~]

Sheba looked at the silver dragga from behind Cassiel and whispered, "Behind all those scents, I smell the Starwinder scent. Who do you think he is Cass?" Sheba wondered if she could be one of the former Starwinders pack members. Sheba sat down with her ears folded down, she was afraid she and Cassiel may be caught in the fight between the two wolves, if there was one.

Sheba looked intently at the two Varg, one the current alpha female and the other a kerl that had a hint of starwinder scent but it was very faint. She felt safe with Cassiel infront of her but she knew even together she and Cassiel stand no chance agaisn't adult varg. She nuzzeled Cassiel in the back, showing that she would stay close to him if anything happened.

A stiffness in her neck hairs gave away that this wolf was unwanted. The Drappa was Kerl, though, somewhere, deep down, Drea could sense that she had some other connection with what was now her pack.

"Oh? And who says I mock the dead? Who has never mocked the living?"

ooc:short. doing homework.

[Blizzard]

Tempestas continued with his growl before roaring, "The fact that you had a smirk on your scum face when you mocked her! She is higher than you, and always will be!"

The tree seemed to rock as the lone wolf moved about, but it seemed that he was holding himself back. He looked down to Cassiel and Sheba before sighing, seeming to calm down as he muttered to himself, "Young ones shouldn't have to see death or fighting when so young."

He turned his head back towards Drea, saying before he calmly walked down out of the tree, "I am going to become a problem for you, and I will not leave. Those who mock Citali will suffer my wrath, and the wrath of Fenrir and Tor!"

He looked to the two children before walking off, saying, "Where's Kaeric when you need him?"

Cassiel looked to Sheba, whispering to her, "Let's follow him. I want to see this Kaeric, and why he smells like a Starwinder." He looked to Drea, adding, "Watch where he goes and we'll go after she's gone."

[Gina]

She wanted desperately to roar curses back at this Kerl in her territory, but found she couldn't. Her throat was coated with fire, and she found that she could not speak. Shaking her head furiously, Drea reached her voice.

"You're the one she thought was dead, aren't you?"

ooc:Sorry..really short.

[~*Silver*~]

Sheba nodded, locking on the dragga's scent. Sheba wanted answers to who this honourable dragga is and who he was. He stopped himself from attacking Drea because the two pups were present, wich meant that they could probably go after him and ask him questions. She knew that Drea was fuming and it would probably be a good idea not to bother her before she leaves.

She hoped that Drea would leave because that dragga wasn't getting any closer. Sheba had song stuck in her head. She had been wondering near the human village and heard the song coming out a large noisy animal(aka a stereo) Even though she didn't understand it she liked the song. From what she heard the song's name was SOS because it was sung alot in the song.

[Blizzard]

The dragga looked over his shoulder before going in to the trees all the way, replying as vaguely as possible, "Many dragga have died before, what would make me different?"

He looked to the two pups before muttering to himself, "I've invited trouble." Shaking his head, he turned and returned to walking away from the twin trees.

Cassiel looked to Drea before returning his looked to the dragga, mumbling, "Whomever that it, Drea is somehow related to him, and obviously not in a good way."

Cassiel was beginning to have second thoughts about his curiosity...but it was starting to overwhelm the caution. Who was this kerl, and what did he have to do with Drea...and Citali?

[~*Silver*~]

ooc: Just thought of a plot idea! There could be dark hidden secrets about the pack and the new alphas...

ic: "Let's go." Sheba said walking in the other direction of the way the kerl went. She was locked on his scent so she would follow it when they were out of Drea's sight. Sheba wanted to find out what the conection between Drea and this kerl was. She usually relied on Cassiel to be cautious for her, so she was excited to meet a wolf that could tell them what was going on. Sheba signaled to Cassiel with a slight flick of her tail that they were going to take a long route to follow the kerl.

Sheba broke into a fast but silent run, following the kerls scent. She could smell the scent getting closer so she knew she was getting closer to his direct trail. She wanted to learn what the past alphas were like, were they honourable and believe in the gods? Unlike Drea, were they mean like Drea or were they nice? Sheba would understand if they didn't like kerl, she hated them to but then again some like this one might have been a starwinder she would accept. Even if it was just a slight scent of Starwinder on him.

[Blizzard]

Cassiel quietly followed after Sheba, looking back to Drea to make sure she wasn't watching before sprinting after Sheba. All of his caution was wiped away in the excitment at meeting someone different from Drea, someone who seemed so old and wise. He quickly caught up to Sheba, asking, "What happens if he tries to attack us?"

Cassiel looked ahead, adding, "IF he attacks us, that is."

The dragga lifted his head up before his nostrils flared, sighing before he turned around and sat down, muttering to himself, "I just know I'm going to regret this."
