The sun rose slowly over the Helidos lands. The small white fae stretched out her paws in front of her, slowly opening her deep amber eyes to stare out her den. She stayed like that for several minutes, glaring out of the hidden den towards the sun. She finally squirmed out from under the large tree root, licking her maw slowly in thought. Her paws shifted in the cold earth, hardly heated from the sun. She smiled weakly and shook her head, twisting to turn and face the camp clearing. She breathed, taking in the spring air and shaking her body to rid of sleep. She slowly stretched downwards and then started walking towards the center of the clearing. Her ears twitched at the sound of water flowing nearby. She was not quite hungry, but she did feel a thirst. Her paws carried her away from the pack clearing towards a small stream. She leaned down and lapped up water until her stomach was full and she no longer craved water, but now she was hungry and her body was slowly waking up as she moved. Her tail swayed slightly from moving, slightly because she was happy that early morning. She looked around slowly to study her surroundings. The sun was still down somewhat and so it was dark in some places. Flowers swayed with the gentle breeze that rushed by, and life slowly came to and was starting to bustle about. Creatures of all sizes rose up, darting around to gather water and food so they may live and survive. She turned and studied the birds that flew about, collecting worms and small nuts. She turned and started her hunt, ears flicking forward and body lowering closely to the ground.

She prowled through the taller grass away from the pack clearing. Her ears roved forward and her face held no emotion as she finally heard her prey. She moved quickly, listening instead of seeing. Her paws shifted silently, and then she pounced. Her small frame leaped through the air and landed upon a small white rabbit. Her jaw opened and she clasped her teeth down around it's throat, pulling sharply and snapping it's neck. She then settled down, placing her paws on either side. She tore away the flesh and chew the meat in peace. As she finished eating, she pushed the remains aside and started cleaning her paws and maw. She finally stood and made her way across the Helidos lands, her amber eyes searching for some company. She had grown tired of searching for friends, she wanted them to come to her. She had found many friends, and she had watched some of her pack mates gain love and become mates. She smiled weakly, thinking about the wolves she had met. She loved her sisters, Aleu and Faith. Yet she could only wonder about her older brother, Thunder. She shook her head and slowly breathed in and out, she wouldn't worry about the past. She blinked slowly as she realized she had walked into a clearing. It was large and held enough room for deer to graze, for a good run. She let her paws slide forward into a quick jog, moving to a corner and sitting beneath the shade of a tree as she watched the sun rise overhead.

Rose had been sitting alone for only a short period of time. She breathed in silence as an oddly colored wolf approached her. She hadn't seen such beautiful shades upon a wolf before. She tilted her head and chuckled, nodding quietly as the brute rambled on. Her amber eyes sparkled and she nodded slowly. "Today is indeed beautiful. You did not disturb me, deary." She spoke with a singsong voice, smiling warmly to the brute. She listened again, roving her ears forward curiously. "Pleasure to meet you Sitka, I am indeed one known as Rose. Fancy yourself to breakfast yet?" So that's the new Delta... She thought quietly to herself, beaming with joy. If the male had not eaten, she would offer to hunt down a decent hare for the brute, unless he wanted to do so himself. "It is days like this that make me yearn for my home back in the snowy hills of Pine Summit." She twisted away to look at the sun rising slowly, her eyes filled with sadness but soon she brightened up. She heard water trickling nearby, another stream. She tilted her head to the brute, realizing the male might not know of Pine Summit. "Sorry, I think about my past often and come to forget that I am no longer near there. Helidos is my home now, and I am mighty glad that it is." She would speak before the male could say anything about her mistake. She pondered about her last home, the one covered in deep snow. She had met eager brutes and shy faes. Bold she-wolves and tired he-wolves. They all were a blur in her memory, the only ones that stood out were the ones she spent loads of time with. She could remember the ones she called 'sisters', the ones that were known as her 'brothers'. She could recall her alpha, how large he had been. She could have easily stood underneath him, or at least lay under him. He had been massive and she had felt so small standing next to him. She didn't even feel like she should stand next to him, as she had been very submissive when she was in those lands. She breathed slowly, listening for a response from the rustic male. Her amber eyes sparkled with joy, as if nothing could bring her down. Her tail curled around her body and thumped the ground that she sat upon. Her eyes stayed upon the brute, not calling him to be submissive but to just chat and enjoy the day with her. She smiled once more, a small innocent smile that was nearly as bright as the burning sun. She was beaming, because she was at home.

She took a deep breath and shook her head slowly, amazed that the brute knew of the lands before Helidos. Her ears perked forward and she nodded, listening to his words. "First, let me bring you a meal, then we will talk." She was worried for she knew it was bad to miss meals. She stood up, her small frame darting into the woods for a brief moment. She lowered her body close to the ground and leaped over a root, right onto a rabbit. She caught it's throat in her teeth and pulled until it was dead. She grasped the small beast and came bounding back towards the rustic male. She slowed her pace and released it in front of him before taking a few steps backwards and sitting upon her haunches. She breathed in slowly, recalling his words in her mind. Cedar Grove burned with Maple Woods? What about Thunder? She thought quietly to herself, worry taking over her body as she thought about losing her brother. She would let him settle down and first she would answer any questions. "Pine Summit was not struck by fire, but around the same time that Maple Woods burned, a disease struck Pine Summit. Wolves fell ill, not to recover. I had isolated myself from the others, bringing herbs to our Healer, but it was of no use. Many died from the disease, I only escaped the disease because of my isolation. I was a mere Warrior among those ranks, but I trained hard and came to know many a wolf. I was especially close to the Alpha and the Caretaker, they were like brother and sister to me." She paused after speaking, slowly her amber eyes lifted to meet the male's. "Cedar Grove, you wouldn't have happened to have known a brute known as 'Thunder'?" She tilted her head slightly, worrying that perhaps her brother was dead. She and her siblings all turned 6 years old recently, so perhaps they were aging more and more. She wanted to hear that he knew her brother, but the chances were highly slim. Her tail flicked and she tilted her head, awaiting any more questions from the brute about her old home. She didn't doubt that there were probably many questions, both of them would ask and chat. She had only known that a few wolves from her old home had survived, she was pleased to hopefully find a friend among another who shared nearly the same past.

She listened for his words and chuckled when he teased her, she had spoken about Pine Summit and now it was his turn. She watched, amber eyes shifting back and forth to the brute and then away. "He does, indeed." She said in response to his first question about her brother, and then he continued and she leaned forward as if to catch every word. When he finished, she smiled weakly, somewhat saddened by his words that even though there was a chance, it could still be possible he died. "Thunder is my brother by blood relations." She shifted from paw to paw, her gaze dropping. She wasn't afraid to tell, but she felt like the brute might have thought that Thunder was her lover. She flicked her tail and lifted her head to study the rustic male. His pelt held hues of light brown, with some orange hints. The shade of midnight covered his back in a decent shape, making his pelt dance with colors. She was curious, was he the only one with such colors? Surely it came from a mix of his parents, or grandparents. She chuckled as the male spoke again and she had to ponder exactly who all she had met. She smiled warmly and shook her head, eyes dancing with excitement. "There was no one of interest in Pine Summit, nor in the packs within those lands. One brute, though... he took me in at around the age of 1 year, he mentored me until I turned three, and then he died. But he was not mine to love, for he loved another... my sister. I am jealous of her, her skills have always been better then mine except in herbs, but I do love her... and the past is the past, she and I are together again and I am no longer jealous. But here in Helidos, no male have caught my eye, then again... I spend my time with other faes mainly." She grinned like a child, so innocent and yet bold with her words. "Did you fancy a she-wolf in Cedar Grove, or perhaps around these lands?" She tilted her white head and grinned, ears flicking forward to listen. She shifted again, moving forward ever so slightly before sitting upon her haunches and searching the brute with a curious look. She wondered, did he share a dark past? Or maybe an easy one. "I'm curious, what was your past like Sitka? Were you glad to have found Haven, and then sad to leave due to fire? Are you alright now that you have a home here in Helidos?" She spoke gently, her words full of concern and curiousness.

She rolled her ears forward with excitement as the brute seemed to understand exactly what she had meant about her brother. Her white fur fluffed up as she listened, getting comfortable as the male's voice echoed through the area."I know Clare, I accepted her at the border when I first became Delta female, she is such a dear thing." She nodded slowly, shifting from paw to paw as she thought about the one she had accepted. It had been  a quick acceptance after finding out Clare had been from the previous lands she called home. She wondered if the brute still took a fancy to the white she-wolf, but she didn't dare ask. "She disappeared? How odd..." Rose felt sad for the brute, knowing the pain of loving another and having them leave. She shifted and looked down, her amber eyes full of understanding and sorrow for putting him through such memories. Her ears flicked forward as the brute spoke his mind. So he's glad I have no interest in anyone? Why...? She pondered for a brief moment and met the brute's gaze, her amber eyes glistening with curiosity. "Why are you glad I have no interest in anyone?" She spoke loud enough for the brute to hear, her eyes staying upon him.

He then continued on, talking about his past and she felt sad for him. "I am glad you are here now." She spoke softly, trying to reassure him about coming to Helidos, starting a new life. She felt bad for his past, but she was confident he would be alright. "My past? Well..." She paused in her words and shifted so she could fully see the he-wolf. "I was born in the deep south, lands covered in thick snow during the winter. Hot sun during the summer, flowers that would make you see beauty for what it truly is and leaves that showered the ground, showing death brings harsh life and then it brings hope. My mother looked much like me, but with deep blue eyes, like the sea or a blue flower. My father looked like my brothers, but with deep amber eyes. My family was well known in the pack, my mother being Lead Healer and my father being the Beta. When we were old enough to see and hear, the Alpha came to the Caretakers den and took us by age, Thunder, Faith, Holmes, and myself. He named us each, calling us what he thought be fit and our parents beamed with pride. When we reached the age to become Apprentices, we were brought to a field and the Alpha spoke to us. He told us the importance of our pack and how we must defend them. At the age of one year, in the same field, the Alpha asked permission from my father to have me be his mate when I turned of age. The alpha was young, 4-5 years of age as he had just taken over when we were born. He was kind, but I did not love him. My father agreed to it however, beaming that his daughter would be an Alphess. But a short while after that, our pack was attacked by the rival pack, lead by a vicious Alphess and Alpha. She killed her husband and took Faith and Thunder from me. Holmes, the third eldest, ran with me deep into the woods. But Holmes had been ill from birth, his lungs gave in and the two Elites chasing us had gained to the point of being minutes away. He turned around and fought them, telling me to leave. With the fact he was ill, and not the strongest fighter, I am sure he is dead." She felt sad by what she had to say about her brother, the one whom had saved her life.

"I wandered, too young to really understand anything, on the verge of starving and losing my own life. I met a wolf named 'Raven', a brute who stood at the tallest height I have ever seen, broad shoulders, and icy blue eyes. He teased me, and then mentored me in life. I became his companion, traveling with him and following him around like a small pup. After a while, he had discovered my sister and mentored her as well. He loved her, and I did not know he was leading her in the same direction as me. He kept us apart, not wanting us to meet until the time was right. One day after he had admitted loving a fae that looked almost exactly like me, he and I walked upon a mountain, attacked by a large cat. He died saving me, but he killed the large beast. He told me he loved me like a sister, that I would be strong enough to continue on without him. My sister was left unknowing his death, waiting for him to return until she decided he would not." She flicked her tail and looked down at her paws before continuing. "I then found myself in Pine Summit, greeted at the borders by Alpha Obsidian, a brute that looked exactly like my old mentor! It startled me, and then he explained they were not the same wolf and accepted me. I made friends, and found my brother in Cedar Grove. Then the disease struck, and I roamed the lands until I ended up here. Quinn's Betess, Juno, accepted me and then later I met Quinn and discovered she was Alphess of Maple Woods. I had heard Fenris had come to these lands in search of Quinn, and their love brought them together, it was amazing." She stopped talking, her amber eyes searching the rustic colored brute. She grinned as he spoke.

Hunt, or run. She pondered, a small and innocent grin dancing across her maw. "Race! If you can beat me, I'll catch you something better to eat!" She stood, her tail swaying as she bounced to stand beside him, her paws shifting in the dirt and she looked across the large field. "Halfway across the field or all the way?" She shifted and crouched down slightly, shaking her hips as she prepared to dart forward with the male. She would beat him, because she had been running all her life and was as quick as ever. She took several breaths, waiting for the he-wolf to say the words that would make her bolt. Her fur bristled against his because she stood so close to him, her tail swayed in a wag and she tilted her head upwards to see the males face, a grin crossing her maw at how tall he was compared to her. She was bubbling with excitement and joy, blood pumping through her veins. She wanted to go, to win and to be victorious. But she knew there was a chance of losing.

He likes me! Her mind almost exploded at the thought. She stayed quiet, her small body resting near his large body. She was waiting for the right timing, perhaps she would speak about him liking her? No... She shook her head and simply gave the brute a quirky smile. When he said on her count, she would wait a few more minutes. Hoping to tense him up. Her tail flicked, brushing up against the brute. "Now!" She barked out as if it was a command, her paws tearing across the ground a few seconds after her voice had grown quiet. She took off, paws hardly touching the ground. Her white figure almost becoming a blur when looked at out of the corner of an eye. Her amber eyes stayed trained on the other side of the field. Everything around her disappeared as she entered her comfort zone. Tail reaching the ground and swaying back and forth for balance. Her ears slowly folded against her skull, her body lowering a bit more to the ground as her hind legs pushed her flying forward. She wasn't paying attention to where Sitka was, but she was hovering near the edge of the large field, as she didn't want to startle any of the deer. She didn't look back, but she felt as if she should push herself more. Paws scraping against the ground, everything else a blur. She loved it. She hadn't run like this since... Pine Summit... She thought quietly, distracting herself as she moved forward with as much speed as she could pull off. Her body swayed, stumbling slightly from being distracted. This was enough to give the brute a good start on her. She regained her posture, taking off without even flinching. She breathed deeply, a grin flashing across her face as she listened to her heartbeat match her paws pounding against the soft earth. This is the way life should be, nothing but enjoyable. She let her smile grow as she thought quietly to herself. She loved running, and she ran everyday by herself. It was good to let all her energy out, to feel her blood rushing, her heart pumping faster then anything. She could picture her future as she ran, perhaps she would have a family soon. More then just a pack, or maybe she would make more friends and grow to fancy the male Delta.

-Bump for Sitka-

Rose let her paws touch the earth until she had made it to the other side. She lowered her head, body weak with adrenaline. Her heart pounded, ears flattening against her skull as she tried to gain her breath. She didn't even know she had won until she heard the brute plop down and pant out words. Words, she couldn't even think about what he was saying. She slowly stepped towards the brute, collapsing beside him. She leaned against him, her weary head resting against his shoulder as she breathed in and out hard. "Si....Sitka." She felt her lungs expand and take in air. Her heart couldn't stand it, being so close to the brute and her adrenaline pumping. She breathed in and out quietly, gathering her breath as she tried to calm down. She was still trying to lean against the brute as she collected her thoughts and prepared to boss the male around. Finally, she closed her eyes for minutes on in, trying to find something to say. She opened her eyes and rolled slightly away from the rustic brute, amber eyes piercing in his direction. "Well, good sir, let us catch our breath and thoughts before we decide anything major." She let the words fall out with a rumble of joy in her chest. "We should hunt, perhaps. For the pack and for the both of us, we can enjoy a meal and chat some more if you like?" She spoke slowly, amber eyes searching the male. She didn't want the day to end, not now, not ever. She loved being around him, he was amazing. She wanted to learn more about him, but she didn't want to pound him with many questions. She wagged her tail and slowly stood up, stumbling slightly. "I must admit... it's been a while since I've run that far." She paused, thinking quietly. In reality, she simply wanted to take a nap in the shade. But she knew they should eat and regain their strength, then perhaps they could rest a bit more. She smiled warmly at the thought.

Rose shifted and blinked as the brute's words didn't register in her mind. She lay in silence, watching his figure disappear. She blinked, her eyes shifting to the ground as she lay in wait for the brute. She huffed out a heavy sigh and perked her ears forward as the male came back with a rather plump rabbit. She twitched her tail and smiled, eyes dancing with joy. He disappeared again and then returned with a squirrel. She watched him dig in and slowly she mimicked him, tearing away the flesh from the rabbit and eating until she was completely satisfied. She licked her paws and muzzle, cleaning her white pelt to the best of her ability. She giggled at his words, nodding her head in agreement. She squirmed closer, pulling herself to just a few inches away. Once he was done eating, she would lean forward and lick his muzzle clean. She wagged her tail slightly and stood up, nudging the brute quietly. She turned back to the herd of deer and instantly started to pick out which one seemed the more likely to catch. She flicked her tail and spotted an injured doe that was away from the herd. She turned to look at Sitka and then crouched, moving quietly through the tall grass. Her small body shifted with ease through the area. She got closer to the doe and then circled her prey. Since it was injured, it was an easy target. She licked her muzzle gently, creeping up on the target, her small body shaking with every step she took. Her small body was close to the ground, creeping forward. She shifted her paws slowly and once she was clear to aim her attack, she lunged forward and caught onto the beasts neck. She heard a snapping, something had scraped against her hind leg, but she clung until she was able to drag the injured doe down. The rest of the herd scattered into the woods when she took down her target. She struggled, bruising the doe to the best of her ability. It was obvious she was going to need a bit of help from the Delta. Her amber eyes never left her target. Pain seared through her hind leg and she grumbled, a low growl. She had done something to herself, when taking the doe, the doe had struck her with a front leg, a hoof that cut into her like a razor sharp rock. "Sitka!" She barked out, just loud enough to gain his attention, hopefully. She lifted her hind leg as she re-attached herself to the squirming doe.
