Tread Lightly, Dear.

[†〈Gin〉†]

.:Gin:.

Some say that things that've happened in the past should stay in the past. Memories are built every time something happens. Whether these memories can be summoned easily or nearly impossibly is all dependent on the minds state, age or attention to the matter. Some memories can't be when it comes to being remembered, others just can't seem to be placed. Past and memories alike, sometimes dwelling on the matters can send the thinker in a state of calm or in a state of woe or anger. It all depends on the matter. In this case, the memories are a mix. But mostly sad and heartfelt are the ones that are brought up, not able to be stopped.

Tall, thin tree trunks were scattered around the area. Random patches and flakes of ash laid either visible or hidden on the grass and dirt. The air had a hint of smoke and ember, something one should be used to when dwelling in a fire-bound land. The time of day seemed to be later afternoon when the temperatures were just slightly changing. Clouds rolled over the sky, overcasting all that surrounded below. A wind brushed against everything in it's path, causing things to either rattle or shake when blown against. The air was thick and warm, but the breeze could send a sudden chill down anyones spine.

"Damn cold."

A black nose traced over the sooty ground lightly as the silver canine padded forward, paws tenderly touching the ground. Every few seconds her body would pause and her lungs would inhale the scent before her. The wolf let out a snort, blowing up dust and ash that had laid beneath her muzzle. Raising her head, dark blue eyes cast their gaze up toward the clouds. How dare they threaten to cool down the day. It was just starting to feel really good. But no, the clouds just had to come in and foretell a possible storm. Figures.

With a shake of her pelt, the she-wolf glanced around for a moment. With a gentle flick of her tail, she traveled on forward casually. Gin, as she was known, had just recently stumbled onto this elemental land. This particular area had attracted her the most since it was watched over by fire. With that being her race, she was instinctively drawn to it. The fact had also intrigued her since that last elemental land she had been to was her own with her parents a few years before. The thought of coming here made her think of her family that she felt behind.

How were they? Were their lives going well? She hoped so, oh, she hoped so. With a gentle flick of her ears, Gin dismissed the thought to concentrate on other things for now. Her sight swept over the land calmly as she walked. A sound gently tickled her ear fur, making her pause for a moment. Water? It sounded like a river. Encouraged, the wolf continued forward.

Dark blue eyes settled onto the sight of the river as she drew closer and was within range of sight. It was running smoothly over a pitch black ground. Lava must have run through here before. Fascinating. Taking tender steps forward, Gin stood at the edge and gazed down. It smelled safe to drink, but safety wouldn't really matter. She was of fire; a little ash or smoke wouldn't hurt her. Carefully, she rest her haunches down on the ground. Turning her head upward, Gin rested her gaze on the overcasting sky again. Another gentle breeze brushed by, causing her to shiver for a moment. She repeated her earlier swear with a snort. She hated cold.

After she had taken her time looking at the clouds, the silver wolf bent her head down and gently lapped at the flowing water. The liquid felt refreshing and good as it passed by her tongue and down her throat. This was just what she needed after two days worth of walking. After several minutes of lapping at the water source, Gin stood up and traced back a few paces. Satisfied with her distance from the water, she slipped into a laying position. She flicked her tail to her side and shifted a few times to get comfortable. A rest was just what she needed. With a yawn, Gin shook her head after a moment and cast her dark gaze once again at the sky. The movement of the clouds, though discouraging with the breeze, somehow fascinated her with their speed. Relaxed, she watched tirelessly, ears pointed forward to listen to the rustle among the trees.

Black pads sizzled as they touched the ground, burning the grass beneath them. Muscles ripple beneath the pitch black pelt of a broad male. A white spot stood out on his chest along with his firey orange orbs. His auds twitched atop his head as the sounds of the woods echoed around him. He kept a steady pace as he trotted through the woods. He was on his way to the fire pack lands, searching for a home.

His nostrils flared and a smile crossed his maw as the smell of ash filled his nares. He slowed his pace and his orange orbs looked ahead at a black river. His smile grew into a grin as he moved towards the river. The sweet smell of ash filled his nose as he stopped at the water's edge. Since he was a pup he had always enjoyed burning things, and the smell of things burning was his favorite. Even after the things had stopped burning and there was nothing but ash left, the smell of the ash always made him smile.

He took a few more steps forward and let his paws enter the water. He dug his claws into the cooled lava and ash, enjoying the feeling beneath his paws. His head lowered and he lapped at the black water. As he lifted his head from the water large drops fell from his muzzle. The fur under his chin was wet and he licked his chops happily. He shook out his pelt and turned his body, looking up the river before starting to walk once more.

He had been looking for these lands for a while now. He was glad to finally be going to live with wolves just like himself. To be around others like himself. But in the back of his mind he couldn't stop thinking about his sister. He wondered how she was doing and if she was ok. He shook his head to rid himself of the thoughts as he picked up his pace.

As he headed up the river his nostrils flared with a new scent. A female. His auds slanted back as he moved up the river, his orange orbs searching for her. His mucles tensed as he slowed his pace and a smile crossed his maw. But he stopped it quickly and pricked his auds atop his head. He stopped at the edge of the water and simply looked at the female. He wanted to wait and see her reaction to his sudden presence, if she would be upset or not.

[†〈Gin〉†]

Another swift ripple of wind passed through the trees. It sliced through the silver females pelt, causing her shiver after a moment. She shot a glare towards the burnt branches of the trees, despising them for allowing the wind to hit her. Even though this place was a wonderful area to relax, it didn't do justice with his overcasting and wind. Gin parted her jaws in a yawn before shaking her head quickly. Her eyes traveled up to the sky once more, idly watching the gray and white bundles of puff float above swiftly. With a snort, she looked toward at the ground. There, she notices some rubble. Maybe it's flammable, she thought, blinking slowly.

Reaching out a paw, Gin clawed some of the leaves and sticks toward her. She gently nosed them into a pile, grinning at how neatly they stacked. She swiftly clicked her jaws together above the pile, causing a small spark to light up the top of the pile. The silver and gray flame traveled over the small pile and soon engulfed it. Gin watched to calmly, shifting her paws closer to it to get a good feel of it's warmth. Closing her eyes, she let out a calm breath, letting the heat sink into her paws. It felt good.

A scent drifted over toward her, causing Gin to open her eyes and take a quick sniff of the air. A male? she wondered, blinking after a moment. Her ears twitched at the sound of someone approaching. Turning her head, the silver wolf caught sight of a black male with a white chest across the river. He was looking at her. She angled a ear toward him curiously for a moment, before giving her pelt a shake. Her claws flexed into the ground and she gently shifted where she lay. After looking at him for a moment, she gazed back up at the sky. "You a member of the pack 'round here?" she called over the rumbling water. If he was a member then there was a chance she'd get to meet others. If there are others, she corrected herself.

[/color][/size][/font]

[Rachy<3]

The brute watched as the silver fea lit a pile of leaves on fire in front of her. A small smile slid over his maw as he watched her closely. His tail flicked and he sat on his haunches, waiting patiently for her to notice him. His fur blew about as a breeze ran over his body. He shook himself as the feeling of cold ran over his body. It was not a feeling he enjoyed at all, being a fire element. His auds twitched and he lifted his head as he heard the female's voice. So she had finally noticed him.

"No I am not a member, yet. I am on my way to the pack lands" he replied to her. He knew by her question that it meant she was also not a part of the pack. He flexed his claws as he looked her over from across the river. "Are you going as well?" he questioned. He shuffled his paws a bit and small flames flickered about his paws, warming him. His auds twitched and his muscles flexed beneath his pelt. As he looked her over once more he wondered where she had come from.

His thoughts once more went back to his sister. She had been the only one he ever got along with. He shook his head and stood up, stretching his legs. His nostrils flared as he stepped closer to the river. He wasn't sure if his moving closer would make her uncomfortable. But in all honesty he wasn't really too concerned with her comfort. He felt the cool water touch his paws and his toes flexed. His tail flicked behind him as he stood, now with his front legs half in the water. He could easily dry himself off later, for now he was comfortable in the water.

[†〈Gin〉†]

Blue eyes continued to watch the clouds roll across the sky. They sure were moving, no doubt about that. Were they getting faster? Probably, she thought after a pause. Her ears flicked across her head as she listened to the wind whistle through the brittle branches of the near-by trees. The burnt leaves rustled around her, making almost as much racket as the river. Taking a breath, she stood up from where she lay, arching her back in a stretch.

Swiveling her ears toward the male, she relaxed her pose and turned her head to look at him. So he was a loner like her. She hadn't expected this. But hey, something new, right? Giving a small nod, she breathed in his scent again to remember it. Sitting down, Gin rolled her shoulders and placed her paws once again close to her silver fire. She loved the color of her flames. "Yes, I was taking a break," she replied, raising her head to turn it and looked at him again. She inspected him for a moment and watched as he advanced toward the waters edge. Odd, she thought, not expecting him to stand in the water as if comfortable.

With a final glance up at the sky, she turned and focused her full attention on the new male. "What's your name?" she called. "I'm Gin." She didn't mind giving out her name. She thought it was a nice way to greet people nowadays. She rolled her shoulders again, feeling the slight twinge of another wisp of wind blowing at her. She really hated wind. She held back a snort of irritation, wishing the storm would just come and get over with. Stop threatening with cold wind. Just unleash, she challenged mentally. With a sigh, Gin pricked her ears forward and watched the male calmly.

Enter Rave...

It had been hours since the solitary wolf sat in the shadows made by the canopy tree tops that loomed heavenward. His empty eyes watched as the oncoming darkness chased off the daylight towards the west. Just a few hours ago the day had been cool, unusually so for spring, and the sweet oncoming night promised to be chill. Scattered clouds masked the sky, casting their silhouettes upon the earth, drifting in the manner of aimless beasts between moon and stars. A hush filled the void left by the fading light like a voice was waiting to speak and yet…only more silence unless you counted the gale that screamed through the unknown lands.

Twigs lay broken from their main life source upon the firma, lifeless and auburn. They where easily broken when you just slightly touched them. They often left a sound to those that where around you when you often where incautious to where you where going. Leaves that had made the valley look alive where now fallen from their life source and where now on the ground of the timberland. Tracks could be seen imprinted in the soil as they lead into the north. No! The east. It was hard to tell by just a first glance. One set of tracks you could find in this forest belonged to a certain creature of grace and intellect. That creature is known as the wolf.

Odd hued eyes that are uncaring and a heart to match walked through, scanning all that he passed. Attached to those eyes and heart were the series of blood lines and muscle fibers which wrapped around sturdy bones that created one of those graceful creatures, one of those wolves. Physique stood tall and masculine, muscles not exactly bulging from his pelt but do not think they are non existent. A pelt of multi hues caressed his flesh, keeping it mostly warm and safe from harm that others might bring to this night hunter if they dared to try and be foolish enough to take on this massive brute.

A vicious attitude clouded his malicious mind, his torture chamber. At this moment of the night thoughts raced through his head. Mostly the thoughts of where he will get his next meal, his next desire to consume the flesh of a living soul. No, he was not thinking of eating just the flesh of a normal prey source. His mind was more demented than that. He wanted to find the delicacy of his kin, the wolf. He was looking for a certain wolf that ment more then life to him. But he soon gave up on that night of his killings

Moist and midnight nostrils began to flare to the stench around him. His frame stood silent, his heart the only thing he could hear. His soulless eyes scavenged the horizon, searching for anything that might perk his interest. So far, nothing not even a small woodland creature. Disappointment. Boredom began to run through his blood, the lack of something to excite his blood had been going on for quite some time now and he thought that it was quite time for a change. His head threw back to the night moon that cast its silvery shadow upon the earth as a tone was heard. Midnight lips where parted as his mighty howl was heard. It started out at first as a low pitch; slightly anxious of what reply he would get he raised the pitch. The howl was short but got his point across.


Look in my eyes and see your death....

[Rachy<3]

His auds twitched and he followed her gaze to the sky. He wondered why she kept looking up at the clouds. He lowered his orange gaze back to the fea as she got up from her spot. His head tilted to the side as he watched her carefully. He shifted his weight between his feet as a cool breeze blew up his spine. It was getting cooler as the night was getting closer.

His auds pricked atop his head as she spoke. Taking a break, huh? He backed up out of the water and lowered his body towards the ground. His muscles tightened and he sprung forward, leaping over the river. He landed in the edge of the water on the side that Gin stood upon, making a bit of a splash. His belly and legs were more wet now as he walked out of the water. His black fur stuck against his skin and making his muscles stand out more. With a big shake water droplets flew from his body. His fur puffed back out as heat ran up his legs, tiny red flames flickering and then disappearing.

"Pleasure, Gin" he said, trying to be polite. He wasn't used to be nice to other wolves, besides his sister that it. "I'm Siyah" he responded to her question. He sat back on his haunches and his tail curled around his paws. Auds twitched back and then forward, the sound of a howl ringing in his ears. His head turned and looked around them, orange orbs searching for the wolf who was calling. He lifted his nose into the air and his nostrils flared as he tried to find the scent. The fur on the back of his neck stood as a small growl caught in his throat. He couldn't smell the wolf, but the call was definitely that of a male.

He stood and his eyes narrowed as he searched the woods. His tail flicked behind him and then lay still as his ears slanted back. The ground hissed beneath his paws and then red flames flickered around all four of his paws. Where was he? he wondered as he turned and searched the other side. Is he part of the pack? he then thought. His fur still bristled as he stood tense, waiting to see if this new wolf would present himself.

[†〈Gin〉†]

Gins' right ear twitched slightly, tilting to the side as she listened to her small fire crackled and pop in front of her. Even though it wasn't a shield, it worked a little in blocking out some of the cold. She knew it was only going to get colder in nightfall. If they didn't find the pack were still sticking together, they might have to combined fires to make a bonfire to keep warm. The idea wasn't too bad, she admitted, but it would be much nicer to find a pack first. Oh well, she thought. Might as well deal with what we find. ...Or don't find.

Blue eyes watched as the male crouched and took a leap over the running river. Her ears shifted forward and she watched as he stepped out of the water and onto the side she was on. Gin waved her tail in a casual greeting and nodded as he spoke. "Nice to meet you, Siyah," she replied. She hadn't really met others outside her family. Those she had met in the past were those who challenged her for food or for passing rights over a packland. She usually staid away from the majority to keep herself out of trouble. But now maybe she'd have a pack of her own to stay in.

Ears rising at the sound, Gins' head turned as she looked around. What was that? A howl, she confirmed. She listened to it carefully, fur feeling edgy. Maybe this was someone patrolling the pack borders and they'd scented them. But I don't smell any borders, she pointed out. Her ears strained to listen and her eyes searched the area for the howler. He wasn't in sight. He must be farther down the river. I wonder if he's- Gin paused, eyes wide. Her fur bristled with surprise and almost disbelief. "It.. it couldn't be," she whispered. Oops, that was a little louder than a whisper. Her legs stiffened and she had to hold herself back from shaking. Was it with excitement? Thrill? She wasn't sure. Her eyes searched the woods desperately. She knew that voice, she was almost certain it was him! "Rave," she breathed. He was OK!

[/color][/size][/font]

[».Tuulikki.«]

The large male's ears flicked back as the sound of a soft voice reached him. He turned his head and a demonic smirk crossed his face. He rose to his feet and licked his teeth over with his tongue. He then folded his ears back and snarled a little bit. He headed towards the sound of the voice. It was familiar to him. He knew that tone. He had to get to the wolf quickly. He snarled some as he stopped and looked at the area around him. He turned his head and then shook it slightly. He took a deep breath and padded towards where the Grey wolf stood. His ears flicked around his head as he slowed his pace and stopped just a few feet away from Gin.

Rave's black ears flicked some as he narrowed his odd red eyes towards the female. He barred his fangs at Gin and lowered his head and shook it. He stepped forward towards her and placed his paw on hers and folded his ears back. He was unsure of what she was was going to do. He looked at her and then smirked. He then touched his nose to Gin's and sighed some. He took in her scent and closed his eyes and sighed some. He was now sure that it was Gin. She had the scent of their mother. He pulled himself from her and smiled.

"Gin. Where have you been?I have searched for so long for you."

[/b]

He asked her softly as he stood there. Now some wolves would say Rave was intimidating, brutal and aggressive towards others. But If they were to see him now they would see the softer side of Rave. He looked at her and then looked towards the sky and then towards the male that stood close to his sister. Razor sharp fangs barred and a dark and fiery snarl erupted from the large male.

She had grown up, she looked so much like their mother it scared Rave. He was glad that she took their mother's look more then his. He turned his head away from her and then folded his ears back. He soon reclined back onto his haunches and laid his tail down next to him as he sat there and just looked at her. He wasn't really sure what to say to his Sister. he was speechless actually for the first in his life.[/blockquote][/size][/right]

[Rachy<3]

Siyah's fur was still bristled as he stood, still searching for the owner of the voice whose howl had rang through the forest. His auds twitched as he heard Gin speak and his head turned to her. He couldn't tell if she was shocked in a good way, or bad. All he knew was that she obviously knew this other wolf. His auds slanted back and he growled as he heard paws thudding towards them.

His orange orbs narrowed as the black and red male moved towards Gin. He let a growl escape his throat as a warning to the brute. If he meant harm then he would stand up for the female. So far she was the only other wolf he had gotten along with besides his sister. His growl was cut short though by the words that came from the brute's mouth. Head tilting to the side, Siyah's auds twitched and he simply stared at the two.

It was obvious now that the two knew each other, and there was no danger. To the female anyway, he wasn't so sure about himself. His tail flicked behind him as he stood watching the two interact. His orbs narrowed once more as the male snarled at him, his fur bristling once more. He returned the snarl with one of his own, his red flames flickering angrilly around his paws. He watched the brute closely as he sat, his muscles tense, waiting to see what would happen next.

[†〈Gin〉†]

Gin's eyes continued to search for the owner of the howl. She was almost certain is was her brother, there was hardly a doubt in her mind. Would he show himself? How far away was he? How much had he grown? All these questions and more buzzed and swirled around her head, almost making her dizzy. She had to dig her claws into the ground to keep herself from falling over with the all the thoughts and sudden emotions. She hadn't seen Rave in two years plus, she couldn't believe he was here! And then the footsteps came. Her heart raced. He was approaching now? Gin looked up as she saw a dark figure approach the treeline.

It was him. He was huge, just like their father had been. And he looked like a perfect mix of the two with his markings. He had grown up so much! Gin watched him as he approached, hardly able to move. He placed his paw on hers and touched noses with her. He remember her! Excitement rushed through her like the running river beside them. She was a caught off guard when he spoke. He'd been looking for her? For how long? "Brother," she breathed. She couldn't hold back a sad smile as she looked at him. "I've missed you." That was all she could muster up. She couldn't think, couldn't process. This was wonderful. Her ears twitched as she heard the two males growling at each other. Her fur rose in the tension between the two and she stood. "Hey, it's OK, Rave," she assured him. Gin gently placed her maw to his for a moment before looking at Siyah. "This is my brother, Rave," she told him.

Looking at both of them, Gin tried to ebb the tension. "We were going to look for the fire pack around here," she explained to Rave. She cast a glance to Siyah to see if he'd agree. Turning her gaze back to Rave, she smiled warmly. "Would you like to come with us? It'd be so great to catch up with you," she woofed, tail swishing behind her for a moment. This was great! She'd met another loner like herself, she'd found her brother and they were all in elemental lands. If they got along OK, this would seem perfect for her.

[/center][/size][/font]

[».Tuulikki.«]

The odd eyes of Rave looked over his sister as he sighed some. He picked up his paw and wrapped it around her and rested his head down on hers and sighed some. He closed his eyes and then nuzzled her a little bit. If another wolf were to walk upon the two wolves they would think mates. Rave pulled himself from Gin and looked towards the water, towards the cliff's then towards the sky and just looked up at the shinning sun, then turned his head down towards the wind.

He was unsure of what he was to do. He did not smell Barley here, there was only Gin. His blackened ears fell back against his red mane and a dark growl erupted from him. He turned his body away from his Rave and clenched his teeth together. He then looked at Gin and sighed some. He looked at the male and still snarled, he was not going to trust this male, Oh no, he knew what males wanted these days. He snorted and then looked at Gin as she spoke again and then sighed some. A pack[]/i. It had been almost a year since the last time he was in a pack.

she wasn't like him, she didn't need this kinda life. He knew that she needed better, she needed to be in a pack and needed to be part of something. He turned his head away from Rave and then closed his eyes once more and then opened them. He threw his head up towards the sky and let out a demonic howl. He ended his howl with a sharp note and then turned to face gin.

"I have been to the point of no return Gin, You have nothing to fear. You will become something. You will join the pack and you will be part of something huge."

[/color]

He said as he stood there. The wind had picked up and his fur bristled in the wind. As the wind blew scars were more visible on the male. Ones that covered his sides, his legs, his back. there were many scars on the male that no one could see unless he was in the wind. He then looked down at the ground towards his paws and then looked at her and smiled some. Rave rarely smiled, his heart had locked itself away when he had lost everything in the war of his last pack.

"Aye you have grown. You are very beautiful Gin, You have the beauty of our mother. It has been not so good on my end Gin. My heart has become black. I no longer feel the same i did when i was with you and mother. I have turned. I have gone to what our father was before he met mother"

He spoke as he stood there. It was something that even Rave was afraid of. he did not want to hurt his sister. But he knew if he allowed her to get close to him he would end up hurting her some way or another. It was the way he was. He never allowed anyone close to him. He was afraid that he would end up getting hurt once more. He turned his head away from Gin as a single tear slid down his face and hit the ground. He was confused on what to do. His head told him to run to let his sister have the life she wanted and to not interfere but his heart told him to stay and be with his sister. He took a deep breath and then sat down and flicked his ears, the tuff of fur upon his head fell over his face and made him seem even more demonic.[/size][/right][/blockquote]

[Rachy<3]

Siyah's auds twitched as he watched Rave and Gin speak. His nose wrinkled as he watched the two acting caring towards one another. His mind wandered from the two for a few moments as he thoughts about his own sister. His ears slanted back and he took in a deep breath. He let it out slowly and sat on his haunches, his tail curling around his paws. He wondered how she was doing and if she was having any problems. He shook his head as he stopped himself from thinking about her.

His auds pricked atop his head as he heard Rave snarl at him again. His eyes narrowed at the other brute and he barred his fangs, but didn't make a sound. He wasn't going to be intimidated by this brute. He hadn't done anything wrong and wasn't going to take the snarling. The fur on the back of his neck bristled but then fell back down as he watched Rave's mood change once more. He snorted, annoyed, and turned his gaze to look about the forest. He stood and cleared his throat as if to excuse himself. He walked away from the two to give them space, not wanting to listen to them be all sweet and lovey. He sat by a tree and relaxed, not having to listen to Rave snarl at him any more either.

[†〈Gin〉†]

Gin was slightly surprised when her brother raised a paw and embraced her. She closed her eyes for a moment, letting his warmth seep over her for a short amount from him and breathing in his scent. He was so different, somehow. Almost everything about him, including his scent. She opened her eyes again when he took a step back. Looking over him, her ears flattened as she listened to him speak. He was saying that she'd become great... Was that what she really wanted though? What about being normal. "Thank you, but," she paused slowly, glancing down. The way he was speaking, she didn't like it. He was avoiding her question. She glanced to the side to see Siyah dismiss himself and walk away a bit. She took a breath, looking at her brother.

"Rave, it's OK. He's a good guy, he's shown no aggression to me," she tried to reassure her brother. She shot a glance at Siyah, as if trying to apologize for her brothers snarling. Looking back at her brother, Gin whimpered slightly. Scars laced his body under his fur. A strike of pain hit her when she realized her brother'd been through so much. She shifted her gaze down, not wanting to see his past injuries any longer. It was too hard. Glancing up as the wind died down, she listened to him yet again. "But," she began, trying her hardest to hold back her saddened tone. With a sigh, she looked at him. Gin stepped forward and rest her head against his. She staid there for a moment, closing her eyes. "I'd really love it if you came with us," she whispered to him. "And it's so good to see you again. I've missed you. I know that you're still good, don't ever forget that. You're my brother." Taking a step back, Gin looked him over for a few more moments. "The suns nearly set entirely. We need to find the pack or shelter." Dipping her head to him, she turned toward Siyah. She waved her tail to Rave, inviting him to follow her.

Silver paws hit the ground as Gin made her way over to the black male. She paused when she got need the brute and gave him a small nod. Letting off a gentle, warm smile, she asked, "You ready?"

[/center][/size][/font]

[».Tuulikki.«]

Rave turned his head up towards the sky as he watched the cloud gather and the thunder roll in. He turned his head towards his Sister and smirked some. He then snarled and barred his fangs up into the air. An eerie scream reached the ears of Rave as he turned his head and smirked. He then looked at his sister and smirked. he began to walk towards her, the ground beneath him began to light up into flames. He smirked as he walked around her and a circle of flames rose around her. He leaped over the flames and stood there just looking at Gin.

The flames danced around the two wolves. The flames flashed colors, they started out as red, orange and yellow and soon faded into a black flame with green tips. He laughed as he walked around her and then the flames just disappeared into the ground and the ground sizzled as it cooled down. He looked at her and smiled. His tail curled around his side and then he looked back up into the sky. He soon shook his head and smirked as he lifted up his black paw and watched as a ball of fire began to form.

"You are to join the pack that has formed here Gin. I will mearly just stand on the outside watching till i am needed. I shall join with you but i will not be seen till night time. I can not afford to be spotted in the day time."

He told her as he walked up to her and looked down. He sighed and then turned his head away from her. He knew that the pack would not fit his life style. Packs really never fit his life style he was always the outcast. He sighed and then shook his head some. He turned back to face his sister and then wrapped his paw around her once more and pulled her close to him.

"You have no idea how hard it is for me to keep my self from attacking that male."

He spoke as he stood there standing over her really. He snarled some as he looked down at her. He did not want her to turn out like him. that was something that he did fear the day he lost her and barley in the war. His ears were fully back against his head as he looked at his sister. Her markings were almost the same as their mother's and yet she had his life style. It didn't make any sense to Rave, but then again many things didn't make sense to the male. He turned his head towards the pack lands and growled some. He could tell no one had claimed the lands.

He snorted and then shook his head some. He then turned to Gin and sighed some. He needed her to join the pack, he knew that if she was able to be accepted into the pack that she would turn out nothing like him. Which was what he wanted for Gin. he didn't want her to be like him, roaming from pack to pack and roaming alone.
