To The North

[Soulsaver]

She had left the camp a total of nine days ago. Since then, she had been traveling with Dramz and the others, heading far to the north and slightly west in hopes of reaching their homeland by the ninth evening.

"Hey," Dramz shouted from up ahead. He had decided to lead for a bit, his memory of the path clearer. "I see the river!"

Soulsaver's white head shot up. Her usual necklace of flowers and vines had been discarded for the sake of traveling. The river? So soon?

She bounded up onto a large boulder to get a better view. Yep. Sure enough, there was the sparkling body of flowing fresh water that was the river they would follow the rest of the way to their home.

"Come on!" she shouted as she twisted her head back, calling out to her traveling companions. "We'll be there sooner than expected!"

[Nightmare]

(Not sure if by 'other members' you meant the whole group or just rayne, u , dramz) Nightmare had been tracking Soulsaver and Dramz's scent for some time. She had gotten back to the pack after Soulsaver had left. Nightmare wanted to have an adventure and so decided to follow. She had lost the group a couple of times but managed to find their scents again. She drew in a deep breath of fresh air and heard the faint sound of running water. "I hope they are close by," whispered Nightmare as she stretched out her tired limbs.

[Soulsaver]

((By group I mean anybody who decided to go with them. This is a continuation of a rp in a different section. Basically, Dramz and Soulsaver are going to their home and invited a bunch of fellow wolves to come along.))

[rayne]

((and Rayne)) Rayne hurried over to her sister. "The river... Wow remember when we passed this way just before we foud Chaos Reigns?" Rayne said with a wolfish grin. "I could use a drink too..."

[Soulsaver]

((Yes, and Rayne)) Soulsaver smiled deeply. "Of course I remember, sister of mine. The last time we set eyes upon this river . . . oh my heart, will I ever get over the joy? Do you recall how when we were pups this was our favorite drinking place because it was always just the right temperature?"

"And, if I remember clearly," Dramz put in, "This was where I said my farewells to Kane. I wonder how that lump of flesh is doing. Maybe there will be word of him when we reach the base?" he said hopefully, staring at the leaping waters that jumped over rocks and branches, sending droplets of liquid into the air.

"Rayne?" Soulsaver asked. "Would it be wise to let out a greeting howl? Sure, we aren't on Fading Light territory, but if there is more fighting since then . . . or do you think we should just continue to venture until we are within our own border?"

[Nightmare]

(K gotcha! ^-^ thanks for clearing that up for me)Nightmare looked down, from the small hill she was on, and saw Soulsaver, Rayne, and Dramz. Relief and joy filled her as she saw them. "Hmm I wonder if I should call out to them or should I sneak up on them," wondered Nightmare as she slowly crept towards. "Sneak attack it is." thought Nightmare as she leaped into the water, splashing the others.

[adolpha]

Kohaku,who had been silently following the group of wolves in the shadows quietly moved upwind from them to make her presance known.She howled excitedly to them and awaited a response.

[rayne]

Rayne let out a yelp of supize as water splashed her face. "Nightmare?" Rayne asked laughing. Then she was going to add that they should tell their old pack that they were coming but a howle brook into her thoughts. "Well that settles it then we shall respond to the howel." Rayne said stating the obious.

[Soulsaver]

"Very well, O Raynebringer the Mighty!" Dramz teezed, throwing his head back in a wild howl of greeting. Joyous, Soulsaver did as well. Soon, the entire river area was echoing with their greeting call.

"I suppose we should wait for a scout to come find us and verify who we are before venturing in much further," Dramz told them when he ran out of breath.

"But this is our home! We should be welcome here no matter what!" Soulsaver protested. "Right Rayne?"

"Yeah," Dramz continued, "but we are traveling with a bunch of strangers to them. Wouldn't it be common courtesy to wait? Rayne?" Dramz barked. The heads of both friends were swiveled toward Rayne, opposing sides each wishing for agreement.

[rayne]

Rayne lookked from her sister to Dramz. "I think I agree with DRamz." Rayne said slowly "We don't want to alarm any one unless we have to."

[Soulsaver]

"Aww, I never said we shouldn't alarm anywolf!" Dramz teased.

"Okay, Rayne, we can play it safe." Soulsaver nodded.

"No way!" Dramz laughed, obviously pleased. "We just sent out a greeting call. I don't think it's that big of a deal." He smiled at Soulsaver's gaping mouth. "What? You know messing with your heads is what I live to do," Dramz joked. He carelessly walked forward.

"Wait, Dramz!" Soulsaver leaped a few steps after him.

"I'm going to find a scout. And, my apologies, Raynebringer the Magnificent. No hard feelings about me yanking your tail?"

[Nightmare]

Nightmare only chuckled at the other wolves. She watched Dramz go off and decided to take a long drink from the river.

[rayne]

"Yanking my tail... grrr... I should yank his tail..." Rayne growled to herself turn between being anoyed and amused.

[Nightmare]

"So how long do you think it'll be till Dramz gets back?" inquired(sp?) Nightmare

[Soulsaver]

((Sorry to do this, everybody, but Rayne is gone on a trip like I talked about in the thread "Bon Voyage, Rayne!" For that reason, I'm pausing this rp. I feel it would be unfair to continue without Rayne. However, I've started some new rps for us to keep busy with until she returns. When she does, both she and myself will let everybody know.))
