Searching [zeus and open}

Midnight

Midnight was new here and had a chance to start a pack in this new land. He howled in hope someone would hear him and answer his call. He need followers to start a pack but to get followers he needed to be known. He continued walking through the forest. It was nice, quite. Not many here. It would make perfect place to live. He took a deep breath in. The air was fresh, clean, not like the air at his old territory. He had hoped to meet others by now but he had to be patient, that is one of the good things he was taught. His father may have been crule and mean but he did teach him how to be a good leader. Since no one has showed up yet he decided that he also search in other parts of the area around the forest as well.

His ears perked as a howl reached them. He lifted his own maw and let out a howl of his own, answer it. It wasn't as pretty as a wolf's, but it was close. The wolf-dog turned and headed in the direction the wolf had howled. His ears perked, wondering if anyone else was around. Juliet should be. After all, he hadn't gone far from her since they met.

It didn't take too long before he stumbled upon a wolf. He stopped and stared at him, becoming hesitant. "Were you the one that howled?" he asked, golden eyes staring with confusion. He wondered what the wolf had wanted. Why he had summoned others.

Lukear stood by the river on top of a flat rock.  He lowered his head and lapped at the water a heartbeat then raising it with his ears pricked and eyes open before taking another drink.  It wasn't that he was worried or frightened that made him alert for danger but because he is alone.  With no one watching his tail he had to make sure he is ready for anything.  A lone wolf isn't a wolf without others by its side.  This is why he needs to find a pack, not just for the comfort of others but for survival.  After all there are creatures a lot stronger than one wolf.  No one knows that better than Lukear.

A howl echoed around him in the trees.  Lukear lifted his head, ears pricked and listened to its tones.  It wasn't a howl signalling to others that prey has been caught or a mating call.  It was in fact a call he had been listening for, a summoning howl; someone was looking to create a pack!  He was sure of it!  Not long after the howl another different howl answered.  Lukear noted it didn't sound like the beautiful howls wolves make but he cast it away.  Lukear licked his wet muzzle and lifted it up to the sky with his own replying howl.  He stepped away from the river, ears pricked to listen for the howl that will hopefully lead him to the source.

Midnight

Midnight was about to move on and search some where else when another howl pierced the air. It was not a beautiful of a wolves but sounded similar. It must be a dog wolf He thought to himself but quickly dismissed it. As long as they are loyal and trust worthy he was ok with it. He answered the howl with his own. A black wolf with the markings of a dog upon his face and legs. He was young and would do perfectly for the pack. He brings new blood that may be tainted with blood of dog but still good, if he was willing to join. 

He was about to answer the dog-wolf when another howl hit the air. It was a beautiful howl, pure. A pure wolf has answered his call. He responded to the other wolf's howl to show him where to look for him. Now he was to deal with the wolf at hand. "Hello sir. My name is Midnight and I was indeed the one that howled. What is your name sir? I am looking for other to join me in making a pack on the mountain. Would you care to join me?" he told and asked the wolf he was blunt and to the point. He did not want to be rude, but he did not have time to play games with others. The sooner the better for the pack. He waited for an answer from the wolf in front of him and waited for the other who called to join them.

[Kiba]

He looked to the sky as another howl pierced the air. The wol in front of him answered again. His tail swayed as he turned and looked back at the wolf as he listened to the brute's questions. He tilted his head. He had already decided to be in Crimson's pack. But she hadn't been around. He hadn't seen her or heard her call in a while. He wondered if she was okay.

He hesitated on answering. No. Crimson must have left, whether it was the territory or in spirit. She was gone. That or she had lied to him. And he didn't want to believe the latter. It would hurt him way too much.

"My name is Zeus. I had been promised the position of Alpha Male in another pack. Something has happened to them, though. I know nothing of this pack and why ask a wolf-dog? Not many other wolves will join knowing that you've accepted someone like myself," he commented, looking at him with curiosity.

[{t}empest]

Not long after his howl did another howl answer him back.  He followed after the source of the song and wasn't long till he picked up the scent of wolf.  He followed the scent and found two canines standing in a small clearing.  Lukear slowed down, barely panting as he approached.  Instinctively Lukear lowered his head slightly and dropped his tail so not to offend the black wolf in front of him.  He didn't need the brute to tell him this was the wolf that made the summon, simply his body language and his golden amber eyes told him everything he need to know.  And as he suspected the other brute was a wolf-dog; black wolf with unwolf-like brown markings and eyes of a wolf.

"My name is Zeus. I had been promised the position of Alpha Male in another pack. Something has happened to them, though. I know nothing of this pack and why ask a wolf-dog?"  The wolf-dog asked curiously.  "Not many other wolves will join knowing that you've accepted someone like myself."

"I'm curious myself," Lukear grunted as he approached. He didn't know whether he was intrigued or disgusted that a pure wolf would allow a wolf-dog in a pack meant for pure wolves. Lukear wondered for a moment whether he should really think about joining this pack if the half-wolf was going to be accepted. But he reminded himself that he can't be picky. Sure its the beginning of spring but if he doesn't find himself a pack before winter his chances of survival will be about zero. Besides, it is better than going off to join a pack full of dogs like some of the traitorous wolves have. He halted a couple feet from the pure wolf and dipped his head. "Greetings, I am known as Lukear, he introduced himself.

[Zantalia]

 

Living alone in the woods had been working well for Zantalia so far but with the constant threat to the lives of lone wolves in the wild, and with the pains of her past, Zali didn't want to stay alone for too much longer. She had just finished eating her kill, a thin rabbit in the Dewdrop Meadow when she heard a sound and in fright darted for the Whispering Forest. She really had to get over that worrisome state of mind. She bolted into the trees and then found a shelter, a few tumbled rocks under some fallen tree limbs. The smell of fear was strong from her frame, but she simply reminded herself she was safe and took calming deep breaths to ease the feeling.   

As she huddled under her tumbled shelter, Zali felt the worry and fear receding from her frame and then she scanned the forest floor outside her shelter, her pale golden eyes alert for even the tiniest of movements out there. As she crouched close to the ground, her flattened ears picked up a howl, she lifted her head and sniffed the air. Not too far away. As she uncrouched, she heard an answering howl, a crossbreed's call, then the first voice rang out again, and then, a new voice, the pure sound of another of her kind, very close to her shelter. She slipped part of the way out of her shelter and sniffed the air again, then a blur of white flashed past and Zali's ears flattened and then perked forward as the white blur disappeared into the deeper shadows of the trees.   

Staying partly in her shelter for a few moments more while she argued with herself about the pros and cons of leaving her shelter she raises her muzzle to the sky and parted her jaws as she sent her own sweet howl ringing toward the others, then she darted out of her shelter and loped the direction the white blur had gone. She was a couple paces behind it when her ears picked up lyrics from a small gathering of others, My name is Zeus. I had been promised the position of Alpha Male in another pack. Something has happened to them, though. I know nothing of this pack and why ask a wolf-dog? Not many other wolves will join knowing that you've accepted someone like myself, this from the wolfdog. Then she swiveled her head as the white blur responded next, I'm curious myself, Greetings, I am known as Lukear. Zali's pale golden gaze shifted then to whom she had heard as the first caller.   

A black wolf. Zali lingered outside the group of males, uncertainty climbing into her frame as she parted her own jaws and spoke, "I heard your call, my name is Zantalia, Zali or Talia for short. I am hoping I may find safety and shelter in a Pack." She was slightly surprised at how strong her voice remained as she stood humbly at the edge of the gathering. She would have better luck in a pack than she had on her own. Her pale golden eyes traveled among all three males, all were pretty wonderful looking to her, she smiled and moved in a little closer as she relaxed a little bit more, already feeling safer than she had previously. Zeus and Lukear, definitely interesting names, the black one had either not introduced himself or he had and she had missed it, but never-the-less, he had been the original caller and so the Alpha wolf in Zali's eyes.

[DENI.]

The female wolf was on the very edge of the forest, her nose lowered to the ground as she searched for dinner. Ever since Crimson had offered her a place in a pack, the she-wolf had been hopeful that she would run across the other wolf again... But she hadn't. Crimson seemed to have just disappeared, and it had left Juliet feeling lonely. She had been so hopeful that she was going to find a place to belong.

Her head jerked up and her ears perked as a summoning howl sounded through the forest. Her heart-beat sped up, and she started toward the howl at a measure pace. After all, she didn't want to get caught up in the wrong kind of pack. Due to her slow pace, it took her awhile to reach the meeting. A large black male seemed to be heading it, and she listened in disgust as a white male judged Zeus just for being half wolf.

She entered the clearing around the same time as another female wolf. She missed most of the introductions, but that was okay. She got the general idea. She walked up to Zeus, feeling less confident than she looked, and pressed her shoulder against his. "I would perhaps be interested in joining the pack... Depending on the attitude toward wolf-dogs." She said, her gaze on the male who was clearly in the lead. Her ears were lowered a bit, as was her tail. She was not trying to assert dominance, she just wanted it to be known that she would not join a pack who discriminated for something so silly.

"Speech."
The male said his name was Zeus. Interesting name for a wolf he thought but that was no matter to him. Midnight understood the wolf-dogs concern. Why should he let a half-breed in? To him it was not the half-breeds fault; it was the wolf parent's. They should have known that their offspring would be denied and treated horribly. The wolf parent should have been more responsible and not mingle the bloodlines. It was all right for half-breeds to breed with wolves and have more wolf blood. They were equals to him. He was about to answer Zeus when the second wolf who answered his call.

He was a pure wolf, a white wolf, a sign of pure blood. He was glad to have some pure blood in the pack. He got the feeling that he was against half-breeds. This would have to be dealt with if he was to join the pack. Zeus was to be treated like every one else if he was to join. He would not have and disorder and fighting among members of the pack. They were supposed to be a close knitted pack where they are all family.

Another wolf appeared that the edge of the group. She came around the time Zeus introduced himself. He smiled and relaxed a bit as she introduced herself and saying she wishes to join. Zantalia The first female to want to join. It was good to have females interested in the pack. He would need an alpha female during the rain of the pack but he would hand pick the alpha female to the female who would be the best for the position.

The fourth was another female. She seemed to know Zeus and whether she joins or not depends on whether he allows half-breeds. He sighed and decided to start from the beginning. "Let me restart so all can hear. Hello, my name is Midnight and I seek to start a pack. Just so I know I have all of your names, Zeus," he said pointing his muzzle at the wolf-dog, "Lukear," pointing at the white ball of fur, "Zantalia," pointing at the first female "and you are?" he said pointing at the newest member in the group. He wanted her name but he still continued.

"I allow wolf-dogs and I will treat them fairly because they are equals in my eyes. I see them equals because it is not their fault that they are half-breeds it is the wolf parents." to Zeus he added, "I mean no disrespect to your parents, if they were nice I will not hold it against them, against any of them but I frown upon the mingling of blood." he said in hopes not to insult him or his family he just wanted him to know how he sees it. He waited for them to answer with any thing else before continuing and explaining the rest and his ideas for the pack.

He fliched slightly at the other wolf's words when he appeared, but waited for an answer. As he waited, a she-wolf appeared and introduced herself. And then Juliet at came. He visibly relaxed as the she-wolf defended him and pressed up against him. His golden eyes stayed on her for a moment until he realized the Alpha was talking.

At first, his fur started prickling as his parents were called irresponsible. He loved his mother, although he hadn't been around her for that long. He wished he knew his father too, although he had never met him. Still, he forced himself to calm down as he realized this may be the only pack who would accept him among their ranks.

"I think I will join then," he said, glaring over at the brute that called him Lukear. He looked around at everyone. It was the beginning of a pack. Nothing big, but big enough to protect each others from dangers like a cougar or bears. Even strays. Maybe even to be able to protect a territory.

"I will fully decide once you explain your pack more."

"I heard your call, my name is Zantalia, Zali or Talia for short. I am hoping I may find safety and shelter in a Pack," a feminine voice spoke behind him. He looked back in surprise to see a brown she-wolf standing at the edge of the crowd, looking awkward.

Lukear's attention quickly veered from the brown she-wolf to another that came up to Zeus's side. "I would perhaps be interested in joining the pack... Depending on the attitude toward wolf-dogs," she said, looking straight at the wolf that made the summons. Lukear couldn't help but feel it was kind of directed to him too and looked away from the beautiful grey she-wolf, but turned his attention back to the black wolf.

"Let me restart so all can hear. Hello, my name is Midnight and I seek to start a pack. Just so I know I have all of your names, Zeus," the wolf pointed his muzzle to the wolf-dog, "Lukear," pointing to him and Lukear nodded. "Zantalia," turned to the first she-wolf. Midnight stopped to the newest newcomer, "and you are?"

Lukear couldn't help but glance back at the grey she-wolf. He wasn't certain if he got the name but one thing was sure he didn't like how close Zeus was to this she-wolf. He moved his silver eyes away and back to Midnight, pushing the confused thoughts and troubled feelings to the back of his mind.

"I allow wolf-dogs and I will treat them fairly because they are equals in my eyes. I see them equals because it is not their fault that they are half-breeds it is the wolf parents." The wolf added to Zeus, "I mean no disrespect to your parents, if they were nice I will not hold it against them, against any of them but I frown upon the mingling of blood."

Lukear's ear twitched but he fought the urge to drop his head and lower his ears in apologies. He knew that Midnight was right. It isn't Zeus's or anyone wolfdogs fault for being what they are; they didn't ask for this. Lukear knew he should apologize but when he glanced back again at the wolfdog as he spoke, his blood boiled. He would live with this wolfdog and fight by his side, but that doesn't mean he has to like it.

[Zantalia]

Zali's ears switched a little as her good left eye focused on the other wolves in the area.  As she watched the gathered wolves she saw a second female appear and lean against the wolfdog, Zeus.  Zali smiled as she heard the female's lyrics, I would perhaps be interested in joining the pack... Depending on the attitude toward wolf-dogs.  Zali could have cared less whether the members were pure or mixed.  She smiled again as she felt her ears switch as the others were speaking up again.  Let me restart so all can hear. Hello, my name is Midnight and I seek to start a pack. Just so I know I have all of your names, Zeus, Lukear, Zantalia, and you are?  Zali's good eye followed Midnight's points as he reintroduced the other beings in the small gathering.  Then she tilted her ears as Midnight continued.  

I allow wolf-dogs and I will treat them fairly because they are equals in my eyes. I see them equals because it is not their fault that they are half-breeds it is the wolf parent's.  I mean no disrespect to your parents, if they were nice I will not hold it against them, against any of them but I frown upon the mingling of blood.  Zali smiled again as she peered around the group again, still hovering near the edge, but relaxing a bit more despite the fact that the Alpha was a black wolf that looked very similar to Fang's murderer, which she just fully realized.  Then her ears switched as the wolfdog spoke again, I think I will join then, I will fully decide once you explain your pack more.  Zali lifted her head then as she shifted her position on the ground and then her good eye shifted to the white male after Midnight had spoken and she saw his mind fight to lower his ears or head but he did not say anything else.  Zali turned her good eye to Midnight again and smiled.  

"You seem wonderful Midnight, and this small gathering is a beautiful start to a pack.  And all of you seem like decent beings.  I haven't been part of any pack since my puphood.  Truthfully I have been afraid to join one again, despite the fact that I know I will be safer than if I were alone."  Zali murmurs and then fell silent as she peered at Midnight with her good eye again.  Sometimes she hated the fact that she was blind on the right side, but it just made her all the more observant to the right than to the left, but she kept both sides as equally protected as she could.  She sat calmly then, observing the group and waiting for the next speaker to pipe up.  She was relaxing more as she sat at the edge of the group and wrapped her tail over her paws as memories of Fang's death tried to butt into her mind but she pushed back at them and kept them at bay.  For the moment anyways.
