A Chance, Always A Chance (Toralon's Pack)

Toralon

The brown and white wolf grinned a bit, through the wet sands as he headed towards the den he'd made for himself and his pack. It was large, with enough room for eight or nine fully grown wolves. It had to be large though, since four she-wolves had joined him, and eventually, he knew, there would be pups. In addition to them, one of his nieces, Tirona, a blind wolf and earth elemental, visited them every so often, gravitating between his pack and Modet's pack every few weeks.

First in his pack was Lupita, blind, and at one time deaf. However, thanks to the queen of the land of wishes, she had gained her hearing. She was charming, sweet and lovely. Innocent, and capable, and he loved her dearly.

Next was Anila, the wolf goddess of love. She was far his senior, but he had pleased her, and she had chosen to join him, if only for a while. Who could help but love her? She commanded grace and mystery, and there was always something different to see in her.

Third was Nashira, she of the long legs, the large ears. She of the red-brown coat. She was wonderful, and they had found in each other complete understanding. Gentle, kind, and loving was she, and simply being able to see her stole his breath.

Fourth, and last, was Tulip. She was naive, and very much a pup. Still, she was willing to learn, and kind. He loved her for her curiosity, for her wonder, and for her sensitivity.

Now the brown and white brute weighed all this carefully in his mind, checking and rechecking his decision. Would Anila do well, with her experience and her knowledge? No, for she might leave at any time. However, would she be offended if he didn't choose her? Hopefully not, and if she was, Torie would do his best to explain why he had chosen as he did.

Lupita had been the first to join him, but, despite her many strengths, he needed to choose one who was fully capable of using all her senses. If she could see, Toralon was sure the decision would be even harder to make. As it was, her disability was the only thing that had come against her in his mind, and he hated it for that reason.

Tulip... Well, Toralon loved her well, but she was far too inexperienced, and had far too much to learn. Perhaps she never even would, and so choosing her would be a grave mistake.

That left but one... Nashira was strange, but she was able, and balanced him, she was perfect in so many ways, and nothing spoke against her, not even the slightest thing.

Nodding again, Toralon barked a few times. "Lupita, Anila, Tulip, Nashira. I wish to speak to you all. There is a matter which I must discuss with you, immediately." Stopping, he stood still, his back to the ocean, waiting for them to come. Yes, his mind was made up, and now was the time to speak with them of this.

Soft and shy, Lupita walked in silence beside the love goddess. Her ears twitched, taking in all the sounds around her. Though, she was more outgoing then she had first been when she had entered this land, she still felt somewhat left out and felt herself falling more and more in love with her pack leader. Toralon. It was everything about him that drew her in, the way he spoke called to her. Ever time she smelt his scent, her heart fluttered helplessly without thought.

Anila sighed softly as she walked beside the fae, she knew the heartfelt cries of the fae beside her and knew there was little she could do in return. The fae's heart all but bled for her true mate, and yet Anila wondered if Toralon knew. That the love between them was rarely seen and would end as the perfect mated couple. She may of been the love goddess, but she was no miracle worker. And she had to leave it up to the both of them to sort out.

"We are here Toralon," she greeted the brute with a tilt of her pink tinted wings "as is Lupita."
The grey tipped wolf nodded her head, moving without aid to rest beside Toralon "That I am," she said quietly.

OOC: Waiting for Otho Phantom xD

Tulip

I liked this place, but i still could not hunt right, but that was something i did not care much about any more. I knew my purple coat was to blame for my lack of being able to catch smaller prey and with the larger ones if i could get close with being seen then my coat did not matter as much. I just shrugged those thoughts off and listened with my overly larger red tip ears.

I heard Toralon call and started to run to were i had heard his call come from. I saw with my reddish eyes three others. I knew that they most likely see me from here better then i them. I stopped a little off from the others then walked into the group "Hello Toralon" i said then to the others " I am Tulip" I looked at the others, then to Toralon with a joyful smile.

Toralon

He smiled at each of the four as they came, dark eyes viewing them all contentedly. He liked being around his entire pack, especially later in the day. Pack meetings were rare here, where he could usually find those he needed to speak to easily, and otherwise wait till they came back.

"Thank you, all of you. I've missed those who have been gone... The company of my old pack is good, but my own pack is worth much more in many ways. The matter I've called you here for you've already guessed probably. The matter of the alpha female. I've been long in choosing, but I've decided at last."

he looked at them all, one at a time, sighing a bit in his head. Lupita he knew would make a fine alpha, and were it not for his desicion to grow his pack more before deciding, she would have been chosen. He would have to spend some more time with her later, he knew. The brown and white wolf frowned slightly, barely a twitch. Anila, he could tell, had an idea in her head, and he could guess at what it was. He wished it could work out perfectly right then, but it couldn't if he paid attention to other factors...

"Nashira..." he murmured, gently at first, then, "Nashira, I've chosen you, if you agree. Lupita however, will be the beta wolf of the pack, for various reasons."

Anila smiled sadly, feeling the tug and battle of the rose hearts around her. Each wanted his attention, his adoration. To be his only lover. But none would get it, she knew as such. As a reader of the mind and of the soul, she knew each of their greatest wishes. Some had been long lived and would even continue with the news she knew Toralon would announce.
Funny, she thought softly, how one would do anything just to rest eyes on their lover.

With a noble tilt of her pink tinged head, she awaited for the words she knew he would say. It had nothing to do with her, for she was a goddess. She had no wish for the titles these mortals fought over, she was just content to have a place to lay her head and friends to speak with.

Lupita's blind eyes searched listlessly, trying to find the figure as he spoke. Her harks twitched, the gentle movements of his maw finding sounds to create the melody to her perked tips.
Her heart broke slightly with his words, but she forced all feelings back and understood. She was a cripple. A blind wolf. A danger. She would never be a queen, no matter of her love and feelings. He had chosen the strongest to lead at his side, and maybe even the one his heart lay with. She had never met the fae now known as queen, she she tilted her head in the general direction.
"Well done, my queen," she whispered and nodded slightly to Toralon, glad to at least be near him "and I would be glad to, My King," she finished formally, keeping her head bowed and blind eyes lowered.

Anila half smiled and nodded to the couple.
"Lead well," she murmured, the sound of wisdom within her lyrics and curled her wings tightly around her bodice.

OOC: sorry it took so long!

OOC: waiting for Otho again....XD or Ala.
