-Hello World ((Open))-

[Mama Z]

The early fall air was cool. The sun had shone brightly, but was letting off a different color hue. It wasn't the bright harsh light of summer, but a softer almost oranger light to signal that the seasons were changing. It was perfect weather too. Not too hot, not too cold. The way the wind blew through actually cooled the skin beneath the fur and didn't make it more miserable.

The trees seemed to be enjoying it too. Gently they wavered, dancing to their own song which was whispered on the wind. Showers of leaves and needles fell from the willow-like branches, covering the forest floor in a soft carpet of pine needles. Various animals floated on by, getting what they could before the weather changed massively.

The scout had fallen asleep in a soft undercut of a tree. Her long and lean body was draped across the lifted roots, looking almost like a dead body left for a sacrifice to the trees. Her underside was a mixture of green textures, while the upper part of her body was the starkest white. Zaynah had some time off and was taking full advantage of it. This was her time. Her moments of peace.

Kaj ran, his over large paws drumming a tattoo on the ground. His over-large claws cut the soil deeply as the dire wolf reviled in his prowess. Though never fully accepted in Giak, Soran Kaj was off to fight in the battles in the heartland. He growled gentler as a scent caught his nose and he slowed to a slow rhythmical walk. The sun shone on his dark pelt making his black and red markings stand out. He grunted as he caught sight of the owner of the scent and smiled. It looked like a scout that was enjoying her moments of peace. Kaj slowly walked up to the sleepy scout and sat about two yards from her. He grunted and asked quietly.
" hail scout. Do you have news of the fights? " Kaj's rough voice came out in a gentle grating sound and he winced. He silently cursed the cur who had damaged his throat.
"Forgive me for disturbing you."

Zaynah could hear something in the distance. This transcribed into her dream and what she heard was growning thunder getting closer and closer. Her tail twitched as aggitation filled her dream. The thunder was fading, now becoming soft pitter patter of rain. Her ears flexed forward as her dream dissolved and her eyes cracked open a degree. She sat there for a moment, listening carefully. Movement caught her eye and she only moved her eyes to watch the male approach then sit down not too far from her.

He asked a question, then for forgiveness and she wanted to snap at him. Yet this was her duty. Her job was to inform and keep her own life seperate. If she wanted to be hidden, she should have done so from the very beginning. 'Wars are over. An unheard truce is in place.' She inhaled deeply then sat up, stretching her narrow b ody like a cat before sitting up. Her upper body was a brilliant white color, while everything midway and down was a series of green colors, giving her body half a chance to blend in with what was around her currently.

'It stopped only a short while ago though.' Which was a good thing. Too many loses on either side.

Kaj smiled at the scout. She had unusual marking but that just made him happy he was not the only one without a green pelt. He bowed tothe scout, his left leg tucked neatly underneath him.
"Thank you miss... Ugh forgive me. My name is Soran Kaj. I thank you for the information. I am indebited to you."

Kaj gasped standing up right to hide the ugly scars on his back.

Zay watched him carefully. She was trying to put a name to the face, but even then she knew she had never seen him before. His scent was too new to her. It was at that time he introduced himself. Nope, she didn't know the name or the face. Not even in whispers. Then he stood and she tilted her head, 'The war is over.' She commented, 'What's your hurry now? Might as well stay and enjoy the world arund you.' and be thankful it was still here.

Kaj dipped his head to her wisdom.

"I am in mo hurry now. I detest war. I just want someplace to belong. For a scarred beast it is hard to find one when others think you are a threat." he paused and licked his jaws.

" I shall enjoy the peace now. Maybe a hunt and the nice sun shall let me be at peace. What is your name wise scout? I would like to know whom I thank when I pray and kill from now on." Kaj razors and smiled gently in friendship.

[Mama Z]

Scarred beast? She tilted her head slightly and let her eyes look over his body, finally spotting what it was she just missed. Here he'd blend right in. So few don't have scars that they look like outcasts. With the more aggressive wolves, they were one for targets. He had to be new to these lands, because he'd find out soon enough, he'd get more scars easily from

Her eyes moved back up to his face, 'Zaynah.' She introduced dipping her head in a mild greeting, 'But many just shorten my name to Zay.' Which was fine by her.

Kaj dipped hid head in turn.
"since that is what you prefer I will go by your wishes Zay. Would you like to hunt with me?" Kaj asked. His eyes lot up in a playful way and his massive body wiggled in the delight of a prospective hunt with a fellow wolf.
" there is game here correct?"

[Mama Z]

He wanted to go for a hunt and she thought it over. 'There is game yes. Im not sure how much at the moment. The war brought out the hunger to replinish energy so there might be a few things of game around.' She gave a shrug, she didn't know. She had hunted a few days before and also had a hard time finding things. She stood up, stretching out the long legs and overly long tail, 'I can help you though.' Might as well stretch herself then eat while she could.

Kaj nodded eagerly and waited for her.
" what kind of game is around here?" he asked as he began to ad away. He joes for rabbits and maybe a elk or deer. The poor dire wolf was starving from long nights of running and no rest.
