Shuba wai

First breath has long past of the new pup Shubawai. Her long sleek muzzle raised toward the stars. A new day dawns. Her coat gilsening like the last embers of dieing fire set off by the green glowing within her eyes. She lets her gaze fall across the land, taking in everything of this new world. She can see the pink tints of dawn approching. Slowing she stands and shakes the melting snow off her fur. Only silence seems to be a close companion.

Crucified

Watch my breath, breathing in, out, into the air in which both Heaven and Hell seem to sit in both harmony and anguish. I do not quiver, shiver, tremble to their sound as they wage war and promise peace, then break that promise only to rage onward again. My eyes behold both truth and lies as I sit between the squabbling sides, and I wonder. "Am I the one to stop this war?"
--------------------------

Ghastly figure loomed out of the highest mountain peek. Dusty brown eyes quivering left and right as his breath inhaled and exhaled as fast as it could. He was hurried and scared mindless for a pup that was never even his. bodice shaking and shimmering in the early day as Apollo readied himself for his climb.

" BELAIL!!" The white wolf cried in agony, pain. He knew something was wrong. Something would hurt the pup if he could not find him. He tried the pups real name " FAUTE!!" he roared and whirled around. His calls echoeing through the crevas's of the mountains, the sky becond the wolf to stay calm but he did no listen. Instead he wheeled back around and continued forth on his search.

A second too late, Crucified noticed he hadn't seen a small drop off infront of him. Quickly he tumbled to a thud and rose with a tremble he could only speak softly, " Faute..." He gave a soft whimper, unknown to the fact that the pup's sister was alread dead. Faute could end with the same fate, and He knew the pups life was in danger with the way Faute's sister looked.

Soon the white child rose and he began a blind trot, against his pain and doubt he pushed himself forward. Until he saw a crimson figure, that of the color of the rose. He slowed to her sight, realizing she was not very old herself. He froze in his tracks and stared at the child then lowered his head in greeting softly he spoke " Dear child, are you lost?" His words were as kind as they could be. His father would resent him for how kind he had grown to be. He didn't like evil, he only supported a firm hand in rulling and law. Quietly, with his kind expression, the ghostly figure stood and watched, hoping the she-wolf would answer him back.

Shubawai

The fridge wind rushing through shubawai's mane seems to be the only thing moving. As the last of the pink fades from the sky, she gazes at this new being. "..no, not lost. Seaching for something...love..family?" she whispers. She stares off at the looming peeks seeming to see something more.

After awhile she shakes her head and seems to remember the ghostly figure beside herself. The young pup gazes at the figure like this is the first time she is really seeing him. Her ears pull back against her head as she takes a step forward. "I am Shubawai, and who might you be stranger?" She looks out over the peeks again her proud frame straight as a rod in powdered snow. Without looking back shubawai solfly whipers, ">B?Seems a rather dark place to call home, wouldn't you say?" She gazes on as the solf snow gathers on her coat till only two lonely green eyes gaze out.

Shubawai

Soon the wind fades and two ghostly figures stand ridged in snow. The looming peeks grow brighter as the last of the snow settles on the rocks. Shubawai untamed spirit holds her proud; as fear runs through her at the coming of another like herself. She holds strong not knowing what things this meeting will bring. "Stranger, do you believe no meeting is coincidence? That all things to come are planned?" Her body quivers as the adrenaline rushes into her blood. With eyes alight she stares back at the stranger. "How about a run?"

Crucified

The young male brute held the vix in his eyes. No eye contact, but he took in her whole frame at once. " You search for a family? You can join a pack, My pack is young and accepts all as if we were one. I will not bind you to my lands you can wander and find love, and bring your love home if you shall like." He was soft with his words, letting them escape like the soft zephyr himself. As she asked him of his name he replied with a prideful ruling voice. " I have been dubbed Crucified, However I am not one with a good heritage. My mother is a Slika, The lowest in the pack. My father is a cold blooded murderer, Humans should beware him, he has already killed enough of their kind. What about you Shubawai? Where do you come from. Mind you I will not force your answer." He was kind hearted, any could see, None would relate him to his blood thirsty siblings. The only reason he would use his rage would be to defend his lands and pack.

As she questioned about coincidence he tapped into his religious beliefs and answered her promptly. " I Believe Cerberus has a plan for us all, He gives us new company but we decide who we keep in our lives." He smiled, " I try to hold on to as many things as i can. Especially if they are from Cerberus himself." Pale brown eyes stared to her forehead, his lips never let down that kindly smile. " A run? Sure, I could use some exersize. However, If I smell my beloved Faute I must veer and find him. He is a loyal companion and I fear he is in danger, But I haven't the slightest on where he went." Crucified spoke as if Faute was his own, He had grown fond of the wolf pup and was determined to find him.

His weight shifted and he readied himself to chase after her if she were the first to dart. Ears back a little so the wind would star out of the sensitive organs. "Ready when you are" He announced and waited for her mark.

shubawai

Shubawai stared at this kind male perplexed by such a friendly offer. "I thank you for your kind offer, and if you will let me join so easly; it would be an honor to follow you." She lowered her head and gazed at Crucified with her nose only a couple inches from the ground. He seemed a strong leader and someone that would lead her along the right path.

A small frown played across her mouth."As of my heritage I cannot say? I was left as a young pup, and any memory I had has been lost." Her shoulders slumped and her eyes seemed to dull."I'm sorry if this is not fit." Shubawai heart beat faster; hoping he would not turn away."You said you've lost a companion? I would be happy to help you find him." She lifed her head to look at him fully. The thought of running sent the adrenaline rushing back through her. The young pride ran down her spine making the fur stand up. Everything was alive and begging for her to run till she could almost fly. "Let us begin!" she called with a new fire glowing in her. She was off racing down the peeks never looking back to see if he followed. She hoped he would, but nothing could stop her now. The wind whistled by and somewhere behind her she could hear cracking twigs. The world screamed to her and keep pulling her farther down the peeks. A smile played across her lips as she charged on sniffing for any signs of Faute.

Crucified

His kind expression followed her and he smiled then turned and began after her, then barked ahead. " How about I show you my lands first, Besides, Faute may have returned to my land." He could only hope, but he doubted it. It didn't hurt to check plus it could give the fea a chance to see where she was offered to live. Quickly he darted infront of her and picked up his pace.

After a few minutes of running he turned back to her. "Do you think you can keep up?" He smirked and hoisted his body into a full out sprint, Back arching and flinging back as all his muscled strained for their full speed. Tail flagged behind him as the rest of his body looked like that of a thuroughbred horse in its finest glory. What a magnificant sight to watch a wolf run, even more brilliant to watch a pair run together.
