Water clear as crystal reflected the new dawn light in the sky. The face of Tor and her dead souls faded away into the golden-saphire skies, filling quickly with light, marshmallowy clouds in innumerable shapes, sizes and forms. Foliage, dense and dark, could not block the delicate sunlight from brushing its cheek against the ground, warming it slowly.
Ebony and ivory pelt had grown less thick, but eyes were still the same, stunning emerald. Raeya longed to see the sunrise in her life again, but she had only come in contact with him once, and had then ran away due to the swift coming of others. Once again, Calamity's presence had destroyed it all. So why then, did she keep him by her side? Because he had power, power to fight and catch food, even though he was blind. His hearing was better than hers, they helped eachother. She was his eyes, he was her ears, they traveled together.
"Mistress Raeya, what are you looking at?" His dark voice broke the silence of the early morn, shattering the surface of the calm, glassy river with her sudden jolt. The tambourine bells jingled loudly, sending a finch to the skies in an uproar of fearful cries. "Calamity, I was only looking at the sun, why do you break the silence, why torment my thoughts so?" The hawk-eagle smirked, eyes unblinking and dull. "My appologies, Mistress, but...You must understand, he has changed, he will never become the same, give up, move on..." Raeya snarled, breaking the water's calm surface again, droplets spraying everwhere on the banks, her chest down soaked and sticking to her skin. She looked abnormally thin with wet fur, sallow and unhealthy, but her eyes burned with the brightness of a healthy Drappa.
"I will not move on, not untill I get a chance to talk to him again. You may try to persuade me, Calamity, but only after I see him, truly see him, and am not living in the fear of being seen, do you understand?" Calmity nodded, still unblinking.
"I understand."

ooc: Who does she want to see again? Who is he?
" Ey, I wish to see someone again as well." Her dark, gentle voice seemed to slip out of nowhere. Following her voice, Kanika's sleek black, muscular body slid through the bushes and she sat down. Her brillant green eyes, shone in the sunlight. Her lifestlye had been traveling, moving from place to place, as she finally settled down at Starwinder with her brother and family. She looked up at the hawk-eagle, and glared. Soon her sweet low hunny like laugh bubbled in her throat. "He used to have one of those. He was a quite strange fellow, starving, when food traveled alongside him. No offense," her stream like voice spoke, the low whisper carried away by the breeze.
She stared blankly at the other drappa, waiting for a sign of response, but then looked over shoulder, and tossed her head. A multi-coloured pup snuck out of the underbrush. She let a smile slip across her face, closing it, a ivory fang still hanging over her lip. "Go on Lipika, our den is quite near, we might be neighbors, squeak out a hi," Kanika persuaded her cub. LIpika stared at her mom, her golden eyes, pleading for the abilty just to leave.

ooc: Squ, can I call you that? She's looking for some one hugely unexpected >_< I'm evil, and won't reply <3 I shall be mauled 
Naw, just joking...I'll see what I can do...
-runs off-
bic: His cursed presence had been alone for a while now. But when exactly had it become cursed? Was it his pelt's color, that deep charcoal black? Or that horrible stance he walked with... One that held anger and seemed to have no room for even a bit of kindness anymore?
Pah, nothing but lies, cursed thoughts borne by other, and he lived with it. Why wouldn't he? The word of one's deeds seemed to travel quickly, his own had followed since the second winter of his life. And even here now, he was possibly the most....overlooked kerl in the plains. Who was this cursed one exactly? Valence, simple said...the black varg Valence.
------
He scanned much of the area rather than walking. With neither his sister, brother, cousin or hawk to break his silence, he seemed to observe more than he traveled. The soft green-blue covering over his left eye seemed to have thickened over the summer, but not of blindness at all. He had acquired that injury a year back, and, surprisingly, it hadn't taken a bit of his sight away from him, it was as if the eye only wore an injured mask over it.
His coat, like the rest of the siblings, was now thin, and his sleek figure rippled through every movement. At first glance, he actually looked regal, though the thought was usually changed when it was discovered it was only him, the cursed Keel.
The time was dawn, a beautiful, painted sky above him, and a waking earth before him. Strange. Why was he traveling then?
Simple, he was searching for her. Who exactly? He kept what she was to him secretive, he didn't want to disrupt the kind thoughts others had kept of him. But, in truth, she seemed to be the only thing he cared for, or, cared for much. He met her a while back, not to long ago, but their meeting was quick, and somewhat disruptive. How he wanted to talk to her...in peace.
As he continued on, her scent drifted into the air, she was nearby, nearby indeed. But he wasn't hugely pleased. It seemed another was with her, not just the hawk that was with her, but another varg. He sighed, a huge hint of annoyance evident. But, she was close, and that was enough to keep him moving on...closer, even if there was another Varg. He would stop only when he set his eyes on her, and that was that.
His thoughts set straight, he bounded forward. Exactly where she was, he didn't know, but she was close. It was the only thing that drove him to search in the first place.
ooc: -cough cough- my brain died

ooc:Sorry!!!
ic:Her emerald optics scanned the trees, glinting kindly as they settled on the cub and her mother. Calamity screeched angrily, for he was not yet deaf, he was not completely helpless. This sudden rage within him sent a fire into Raeya, they were connected by the pain he brought her.
"He catches food for both of us, his hearing is better than his sight." She eyed the cub again. "Hello..Lipika, is it? How are you, don't worry, I won't hurt you."
Her head snapped upwards as the sudden sound of snapping foliage beat against her ears. By the scent, it was him, and, by the scent, he was getting closer. Calamity irritably hobbled about on a limb, screeching.
"Excuse me, if you will, please..." Raeya asked politely, turning towards the bushes, bounding towards them, swiftly seeing a glimpse of him. "Valence?" Her voice was quiet, a whisper, beautiful.

ooc: You can call me that or Taz. My brain is rotting right now so I'm severly sorry that this is kind of short.
Kanika's gradient black fur slowly rose into short spikes on her back. Another varg, the cursed kerl of which she had heard of, was bounding towards their direction. Their direction as in her and the unknown she-wolf, hawk and the young cub she held deeply in her heart, their direction. As if were searching for something, but what? Kanika took LIpika in her mouth as the hairs on her body fell swiftly. He didn't seem as bad by the smell, the simple scent she had gotten, but the cursed tint, and the family line inheiritance that had most likely skipped her, but still haunted her in her dreams, was still lingering there in the air. The fact her father too, had been cursed.

ooc: Taz, I like that XD
bic: He panted heavily, she was near indeed, but so was that hawk, and that other varg; a pack member presumably? But both "distractions" where not enough for him to stop, no, not now. How his stoned heart, as others would say, longed to see her again, to hear that wonderful voice of hers.
It was there, her scent heavy in the air, and the sounds of another approaching, her approaching. And then that voice, her voice, caused him to stop, his head snapping quickly in its direction. "Raeya? Raeya, is that you?" His tail wavered slowly, but surprisingly, he stayed still, waiting.
ooc: my brain died again (:This short for me is just....embrassment >_<

Her ears perked upwards, eyes dancing like an unseen fire. Her muscles bunched together, lean and powerful, though hidden behind thick layers of fur, springing right through the thick foliage, coming face to face with Valence. Calamity screeched from the limb, not moving to protect Raeya.
"Valence, Valence, it's me! Valence, I've been looking all over for you, this is amazing, oh, I'm so glad I've finally found you and get to speak with you!" She breathed heavily, for she had not taken a breath before or inbetween her words.
ooc:Short...SHORT!!!

ooc: And...let's be a bit similar to the story...
bic: Valence's tail wavered more strongly at the sight of her, and his frozen state, as it was, melted away. He approached her, not much of an excited, hugely emphasized greeting from him, only a hardly visible smile across his blackened maw. His expression held content, not overwhelming joy, just a small, soft content, something he longed for a while now.
She wasn't far from him, and when he had reached, her, his first reaction was to nuzzle the white fur of her neck with his muzzle, whispering, "I missed you..."
He sighed, and then continued his incomplete greeting a little while later, sitting himself down, his head lowered to the ground, "...before I left, I told you not to come looking for me again...Raeya, why didn't you listen? A kerl who knows me...seems to be disliked quite greatly here, I'd be in much more misery if something happened to you..."
At first, he feared the snakes, the two serpents who had threatened him, but after their first meeting a short time back, Valence had come realize that other pack members themselves could be a threat to her, she didn't know what she was doing...
But that had been his nature from the beginning, truth be told, it seemed he hadn't changed since they first met. And, even though he seemed to be slightly upset at the fact she was here, his heart was content that she was, none the less...
ooc: and that's what happens when I'm rushed D:
