My worlds on fire, how 'bout yours? (OPEN!)

[Ireni]

If you were to have taken a photo several months ago, and then compared it against her now, chances were you would not recognise that they were the same wolf. Ireni had been a complete wreck when she had turned up in the Exousia lands, not only had she been severely under weight, covered in painful scars and wounds and been absolutely terrified of everything, she'd also been heavily pregnant. Now? Well, now it was as though she was a completely different individual. The scars on the back of her neck, although still quite visible, had cleared up fairly decently, her body had thickened up to a healthy weight, and she no longer heald herself with fright and terror at every sudden noise. The silver fae had also recently given birth to her long-since-due litter, of which sadly only one pup had survived, meaning the swell of her belly had reduced.

The Exousia Betan padded silently through the Islands forest, keeping each step of her paw well balanced to provide little to no sound, not willing to scare away the young female Deer whom would be providing dinner for both her, her single pup, and the rest of the pack, should they make an appearance and wish for some. Purposely keeping her body low, Ireni glanced around the area once, assessing her surrounding and judging how risky it would be to attempt to take down her chosen Doe by herself. The small herd seemed not to have noticed her presence yet, and hopefully it would stay that way until the doe's fate had been decided in her favour. The young wolf crept up, her body showing confidence that she had never before possessed in her previous life, and with a slow count to three, threw herself into the herd, focusing on the one particular Deer she had been hunting, and lunged for its throat.

[Lobolita]

Still upset about her loss to the Xyla brute the Snow white alphess made her way though her homeland with thoughts of revenge running though her mind. This was uncommon for the usually level headed fae but the Xyla had interfered with a matter that did not concern them in the least. She did not care if there was love between the two packs which there were rules in place to prevent that exact thing from happening but Oak was in the Exousia at the time there for he was hers to do as she wished but the Xyla had stepped in on perhaps their fae's behalf. Either way the way that she was treated by the xyla would not soon be forgotten. She could hear some rumbling up ahead and decided to go and check it out and hopefully get her mind off of the whole thing with the xyla.

As she padded though the brush she could see her new pack member hunting which brought a smile to the alphess's lips, At least someone seemed to be adjusting to their new home quite nicely, Once again her thoughts were brought to that former pack male oak, She would deal with him one of these days even if she had to take apart the xyla to do so, She shook her head slowly before lowering her rump to the ground near a nearby tree. As she did so she pointed her snout skyward and let out a very audio able sigh. She wasn't exactly hungry and besides that point her whole frame was still killing her from the close-encounter with the xyla brute, ramming him was like hitting a brick wall. she slowly drifted off into her musings.

[Ireni]

Ireni clung on with all her strength as the doe thrashed, only beginning to release her grip on its throat when the creatures frantic struggling began to cease. It was an old animal, with little meat on its bones, and a fragile feel to it, but it would be enough to provide her small self with a decent meal, and in turn feed her young pup, too. It was just what the mother and her child needed. The rest of the herd had run off, leaving this one poor elder to meet its death by itself, and meet its death it had. Ireni smiled to herself, please with her kill.

A just audible sigh came from within the trees, causing Ireni to immedietly adopt a defensive stance. Her fears from her past had still not granted her freedom, and the father of her baby, Takrin, immedietly jumped to her mind, bring a cold chill to the depths of her heart. But the scent that met her nose soon wrid her of all these thoughts, and she relaxed once more, a smile brightening her face. The fae turned to face the trees, and bowed low, marking her show of respect. Alphess Lobolita.

[Lobolita]

"Alphess Lobolita"

Those words brought the alphess back to the realm of the living. As she slowly opened her eyes and peered down at the fae of who was already bowing to show her respect. This caused the alphess's smile to grow a bit. So far ireni was proving to be more loyal then that waste of fur male that she banished from the pack. she rose up to her pads quickly shaking the dust and other debris from her pelt as she glanced over at her fairly new beta and while she was still new she had already proven herself as a capable second in command."Yes?. what is it my dear" Lobolita said in response to her name being called.

she looked down at the young doe that the betan had killed then back at the fae before her. With a simple nod of the head she lowered her rump back to the ground giving her pack member permission to go ahead and enjoy her kill. "That was a impressive show by the way". she lowered the rest of her frame to the floor to rest after all she was still abit sore after her run in with shade.

[Ireni]

'Yes?. what is it my dear?'

Ireni observed her Alphess, considering how to word her next sentence without seeming nosey or disrespectful- that was the last thing she wanted. The safety and security of the pack lands was allowing Ireni to raise her single pup with a relaxed, almost trouble free youth. Their was plenty of prey animals, for now, providing Ireni with the strength to keep producing milk for the recently born baby, and living in the centre of a pack territory meant she was always content with the knowledge that she need not be contantly checking over he shoulder for threats. The other pack members were around to protect her, and more importantly, her little family. No, she would not risk losing all of this by a simple error of the tongue. "You look .. troubled, is everything ok?"


'That was a impressive show by the way.'

The young fae smiled, glancing down at the kill as her Alphess made the gesture that is was ok for her to eat it. She had actually been planning on taking it back to her den and saving it for a while, until she needed a strength rise again. Would it be deemed rude of her if she did not eat the meal now? Ireni pawed the ground uncertainly, glancing at the food once again. "Would you perhaps like any?"

[Lobolita]

The alphess slowly drifted back into her own little world in the silence between her chat with her beta, The thoughts of that traitorous brute once again bubbling up in her mind, Why couldn't she just let it go for one night, But that was something to sort out another night as she was snapped back to reality when she heard her betan address her once more this time it seemed to be out of genuine concern. She slowly turned her head to face her beta female with a soft smile, but it was to easy for someone to see past this act that the alphess was putting on.

"You look .. troubled, is everything ok?"

"Yeah, i'm fine, Just thinking is all.." Lobolita said with a sigh as she looked away the thoughts of that brute and her actions toward the xyla bubbling back up in the back of her mind, How could she of acted so foolishly over one male, She didn't care if he left or mated with a fae so why did it bother her so freaking much?,

"Would you perhaps like any?"

"Nah, I'll pass for now, and you don't have to eat right now if your not hungry. She said as she glanced over at the fae with a soft smile forming on her lips,She never really could wrap her mind around the fact that any wolf would give up their free will to follow a pair of wolves, Not that she was going to force her pack to anything they didn't want to but still the idea of them following her blindly was abit strange but she didn't really mind it from time to time.

[Ireni]

'Yeah, i'm fine, Just thinking is all..'

Ireni pondered the statement for a few seconds, before deciding it probably wasn't her place to start digging for information from the alphess. If Lobolita wished to discuss something, she would bring the subject up herself, Ireni did not have the right to be asking too many questions. Of course, she had her suspicions over what the issue was; the Brute that had run off to make families with a fae from one of the other packs.. the Xyla, was it? The Betan did not quite understand why this was such a bad thing, but then she had little knowledge on pack rules, nor the history between her alphess and the male. She wondered for a few minutes whether the encounter would cause bad blood between the two packs, would the Xyla take things further and launch an attack? The thought sent fear straight to her heart. She could not risk losing her pup.

'Nah, I'll pass for now, and you don't have to eat right now if your not hungry.'

Relief washed through her, and she smiled gratefully. What to do now? She had the distinct feeling that her Alphess needed somebody to talk to, but at the same time felt weary about leaving her Son unattended for such a long space of time. She fidgeted quietly, awaiting Lobolitas next words.

[Lobolita]

The fae parted her lips as a soft sigh made it's escape, Her attention was drawn to the fae close to her and a gentle smile grew upon her muzzle, It was clear the fae was trying to figure out what if anything was bothering her alphess and the truth of the matter was that there was something bothering her but it was a matter for the alphess to handle herself she was not about to drag her new beta into a situation and risk it becoming a lot more hostile then it needed to be. She laughed softly in an attempt to change the mood that had seeming engulfed the clearing. "But enough about me, Are you settling in alright here?"

"If there is anything you wish to know " The alphess paused as she slowly rose to her paws before padding the short distance between them before lowering her frame once more only this time to sit beside the beta female of her pack, She knew the fae wasn't exactly use to kind actions, Not that she had told her anything about her past but the alphess was good at reading wolves though their actions, She gently nuzzled the fae's neck to reassure her that no harm would ever come to her or her pup as long as she was the leader of the pack. "All you need to do is ask."

With that said the alphess would gently give the fae a lick on the cheek before lowering her frame to the ground, slowly closing her eyes and completely putting her trust in her new beta female to handle any situation that might pop up while she took a much needed rest, If she didn't think she had Lobolita's respect before, this was the ultimate sign of respect and trust, To leave one's self completely defenseless before a wolf that had just joined the pack, A lot of wolves would call it foolish to say the least but this alphess simply thinks of it as a test of faith and loyalty.

Eternal noticed her alpha, Lobolita, talking with Ireni and turned back. She did not want to disturb them, after all. Ireni looked like she had been hunting, or so Eternal assumed from the freshly killed deer at her feet. She smiled slightly, knowing that was a couple more members of the pack that would eat tonight. She was planning on hunting in that area as well, but Ireni had probably found what there was to find by that time. She wandered off, thinking where to look next. The forest seemed too...busy at the moment, and there wasn't much of anywhere else to look for decent food. She could always fish, she supposed, and headed to the stream to catch something.
After a few minutes of walking, she had arrived at the stream, still not too far from where she had sighted the other two wolves, and sat down, watching the water with an intent gaze and darting eyes as she searched for substantial food.
