~*In the Moonlight*~

[fiory]

"In the moonlight, I felt your heart.
Quiver like a bow strings bows,
In the moon's pale light, you looked at me.
Nobody knows your heart.

When the sun has gone, I see you.
Beautiful and haunting but cold.
Like the blade of a knife, so sharp so sweet,
Nobody knows your heart...

All of your sorrow, grief and pain,
Locked away in the forest of the night..
A secret heart belongs the world..
Of the things that sigh in the dark,
Of the things that Cry in the dark.."

Padding upon silent pads of violet the shadowed figure moved with ease and grace. Eyes of brilliant gold glistened in the pale light given between them, whilst ears had yet to move from their erect state. Streamline bodice was quick to move in and out of shadows, almost appearing like an illusion in the dark forest on this starry evening. Paled brush and shadowed bramble seemed like just background noise for the female that traveled amongst their grabby branches and grasping bows. Finally the trees appeared to part where a small clearing came into view. There the shimmering moonlight of silver and white glistened like stardust upon the tiniest of streams that trickled through the wood. Violet pads stopped at the banks of said crystaline water's edge, that ebon form lightly falling to lie comfortably alongside it's bank. Shimmering gold eyes gazed skywards, a grin spreading across the agile female she-wolf's muzzle, basking in the starshine that trickled down upon her; sparkling gently upon her multicolored coat. To only make this evening more complete would not to spend it alone...

OOC: I think of it a bit cliche to bring a male out - a lot of members sometimes do this simply because there is a female... or a male... but don't get the wrong idea. ^^; I only say this because rarely do I pull out male characters when a female is around. My characters are straight. x.x Anyway, haha. By the way, I adooore that song.

Elemmíre was strolling in the dark, to put it simply. A large fellow
with the uncanny ability to be loud - well, he couldn't help that;
he was a very large fellow for his unique species. His pawsteps
were brought forward with a heavy patter, his monumental weight
drumming the earth. It was almost the equivalent to the sound
of thunder, thus exaggerating his mass. He was an Aist-móre--
an exotic, perhaps unheard-of breed of wolf, not quite so rare, but
rare enough in these parts at least.

For now, his appearance seemed wingless. He may seem yet
like one of many who might have to summon his wings, yet his case
was more special than others, but that was a secret he held in
himself. The rest of him was black, but indeed though black is
seemingly too colorless, his coat seem to shine silver as the
glossy highlights. His eyes were of a greyish-icy hue, yet unlike
most, these eyes seem to bear a long, despairing past.

His wavy black mane, like a lion's, quivered some as he halted. His
nose was stifled by the stench of a creature. "Apparently, I am not
the only one in the vicinity," said he, flicking his very long, tufted
ears. But there was color here, so striking in the darkness, it forced
his head to turn. There by a shoreline lay a wolf he had never
seen before; he had scouted the lands many times and knew
almost every wolf in the family.

"Oh..."

Elemmíre said just this one word; perhaps he was surprised.
Instead of issuing a formal greeting like most wolves, he'd step
up lightly - there was not another wolf to socialize with for at least
another mile.

"The stars are considerably bright tonight," he commented with
delicacy.

((00c: It's quite alright, I don't mind you entering. I'm actually flattered that someone did reply to my post...it was quite bad by my usual standards. And besides, whether you wanted something in particular because my character is female or not, does not matter to me, Not in the least. So I thank you for your reply, and I do hope this thread will be to your liking, with no more boring posts from me, because you certainly can't give ones yourself, if I am to assume by the previous one you left me. ))

A trickle of splashing waves barely echoed off of the grass knoll where the she wolf lay. A golden rod triangle flickered intensely, and a shine grew within those yellowed eyes. Almost immediatly, a stary little figure, mostly of smoke and of the wind shot foreward out of nothing but the thinnest of air. The little sprite seemed to resemble that of a fictional fairy upon closer inspection, though it was hard to tell with it's sparadic darting about in front of the stranger who approached. Dark was his coat though the shining silver reflections that bounded off of it's lusterly thick top coat was something to be intreged. Indeed, this male appeared much larger then the femme had ever seen before, and thus her own tiny star had halted the brute before he could appear to come any closer.

His talk of stars, oh what a marvelous subject; something Fiory herself knew much about, dreaming and living beneath those twinkling lights. A light pop and a soft shimmer of ivory light and the little pixie had vanished, the golden hues of the she-wolf dimming only just. With velveteen royal purple paws lightly placed one over the other, tail curled delicately over her hind quarters, the she-wolf spoke quietly in more a harmoniously honeyed way, a mysterious ebbing dabbled between the syllables of words that escaped her ebony black muzzle.

"Yes, they do seem to be...Perhaps it is a sign of fortune for this place...or perhaps it's inhabitants..." In a fluid motion, the lithe figure stood upon all four violeted pads, that stripe of purple rippling with her movement and long feathered tail swaying from side to side. If he was a rarity here, she no doubt would be as well. With the look of the ancients of Russian wolves, a mix of the now extinct Hokkaido wolf of Japan seemed intertwined within her DNA. A lithe figure, yet fairly tall and sleek; she almost would have appeared like a Greyhound to the untrained eye for but a moment. Auburn ears pivoted foreward, and a soft gentile grin spread across that ebony maw, her tail lightly swaying in what appeared to be a friendly motion. Of course, this could have been mistaken for the wind lightly nudging it back and forth once or twice, if there was a wind nearby to be felt passing through.

"My name is Fiory, and you are?"

The Aist-móre gazed in wonder at the little star-sprites. They were
so magnificent in their little forms that he couldn't help but to grin.
It was when it dissapeared did the wolf speak, granting his
attention to be brought back to her. It was then that he realized
the gender of the wolf, that his gaze fell. He simply had to look
away, for any female he met up with reminded him of his darkened
past. He felt his heart drop to his stomach, thus he had to stay
back. Elemmíre was not a rude fellow; he did not intend to be
rude, and he had absolutely nothing against females in general.
There might have been a strong hint of despair borne through his
grey-blue eyes.

"Oh child, perhaps it is both," said he after a while. "The land
and the creatures are blessed. After all, that is the essence of
Shinkou Ookami - it means 'Wolves of Night'." There was a pause.
"Elemmíre is my name. The pleasure is mine to meet you."

There was just - and only just - a slight dab of annoyance hindering
his last few words, for he hated to repeat himself in situations such
as this. He found that whenever he greeted most wolves, he had
always said the same thing, and Elemmíre was certainly not a wolf
that liked to be repetative. He did not mean anything at all
to the female, at least; he didn't allow his silly annoyances to
be perceived through his words.

"Fiory. I expect you're not simply stargazing. There are so many
constellations in the sky... I've never been able to look up and
admire what the heavens foretell... perhaps some of us are
afraid..."

As vague as his words might be, he might make some sense,
perhaps, to the wolf.

((I do appologize greatly for my lateness in replying. I'm afraid I've been quite busy as of late and have neglected several rp sites I am on, including this one. Do excuse my absense. ))

A spark, as if made by a newborn star gleamed within those shining yellow gold hues. A glow, so beautiful, nearly tranquil began to emmit itself from the iris of each eye, overtaking both optics in a light dazzling and misty shine. A whisp of smoke, and then another and another appeared out of the air itself, gleaming brightly once the sprites had returned into forms much easier to spy. One flew high to the male's forehead, and playfully poked a gentle digit against his skull, wings fluttering lightly and a harmonized giggle escaping it's little lips. A second merely examined Elemmgre from all sides, swishing and zooming here and there, upways, downwards and all possible positions inbetween not to mention flipping itself backwards, forewards, upside down and even lopsided at times. The third seemed to want to check every nook and cranny of the male, first peering into his auditories, before flitting around to his underbelly, before zipping back to inspect every paw.

"No, I do not simply stargaze anylonger. I foretell what the stars grant me to know, and I share the information with any who wish to hear. It is not a special power I possess with this, but merely a skill learned over a millenia of observing." It was Fiory who spoke, in that same honeyed voice, mysteriously airry and light to the touch. Turning fully to Elemmgre the she-wolf sat delicately upon her haunches, stareing eerily at him with those shinningly glowing hues of liquid gold.

"May I ask why one such as yourself has suddenly turned so sad? If I have offended you in any which way I appologize from the depths of the soul I bare, though I must ask if this is the case, for you to tell me so, for I may never do such a thing again to anyone else. I do hope you do not think me prying, but I could not help but to see the despair clouding your eyes when I spoke just earlier..." Another sprite kicked in, though this one merely floated at eye level with Elemmgre, hands folded delicately before it with eyes sparkling as if by coming tears. A flutter of monarchian wings sent a shower of glittery specks to earth, only to dissappear into nothingness....

((bleh, it's kinda bad...sorry..x.x'))
