Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sahala had been a wanderer all of her life and she liked it that way... until recently. Her poor vision had never proved to be a problem for her and it never stopped her from living alone. Though after a strange meeting with a lion who claimed to be a seer, she realized that she was no longer a pup. It was time to settle down. The lion also mentioned the wild dog pack called the Peke Na and Sahala had also met some other wild dogs along the way that had told her about it. It sounded like the perfect place for her to settle down. She had been traveling for days but to no avail. Animals pointed her in all directions and now she had to admit that she was terribly lost. She found herself in a forest and far from any place that she was familiar with. So now, Sahala could only hope that she could find her way either out of this forest or find the Peke Na.

Little Sonara- or Goldensound- was wandering a little bit too far from his parents. He probably should have turned back by now, but adventure was too exciting! The juvenile dog was sniffing about, nose to the ground and tail in the air. His big radar-dish-like ears swiveled with every sound. His tail wagged like a flag and he was tracking the scent of an antelope. Or maybe a waterbuck. Or maybe a herd of them. He was still young and mostly self-taught, so at least he was able to recognize prey animals when he smelled them, right?

He paused for a moment to look up and examine how far he'd wandered. Well... He'd never been into the forest this far. He frowned, but went back to tracking, until he did a double take.

Was that another wild dog? He tilted his head and with a jaunty smile, trotted over to the female. Maybe she was an older pack member and could show him how to hunt- or at least how to get home.

Sahala had been able to find plenty of prey in the jungle and she was actually beginning to like it here. Was it possible that this could be her new home? If she could just find the Peke Na, that would answer her question. Shaking her head and trying to relax a little, Sahala didn't want to get frustrated about something that she couldn't control... for now at least. Tilting her head, she heard soft footsteps in the distance. Her body instinctively tensed up and prepared for the worst. Sahala had very poor daytime vision but even she could see the small figure approaching her. The juvenile didn't seem like he was looking to harm her. She almost felt a little relieved to finally be in the presence of another animal. It was eerie walking around here all alone. "Hello there?" Greeting him, she called out softly wondering what a young dog was doing out here by himself.

Shaking her head, Sahala wished that she had a home but hopefully that was going to change soon. "Alright Sonara!" Listening to him tell her about his home, Sahala was happy to hear that he liked it there. It really sounded like a pack that she would like to settle down in and maybe she could have a family. Having no familial ties had molded her into a careful and distant creature but it was time for a change. "Yeah? It's good that you like it there. What about your parents? What do they do?" His enthusiasm was so refreshing and Sahala's mood was definitely improving. "Would you be willing to take me back there with you? This forrest has got me completely disoriented and I have no idea where I'm going. I would definitely like to talk to your pack leaders about joining."

Sonara happily barked out "My momma is a healer and my poppa is a scout!" His tail waved happily. Would he take her back?

"Sure!" He smiled, happy he'd made a new friend and that she'd be sticking around as a part of his pack. He furrowed his brows but he had a smile.

"I uh... I think I know my way back..." He looked over his shoulder and looked down the path he had come. He could just follow his own scent trail, right? "Yeah, I can do it!" After all, Sahala was counting on him!

"Healer and scout..." Sahala had contemplated how she would fit into a pride and her poor eyesight had always been a disadvantage for her when hunting. Though she's learned to compensate by hunting only at night. She knew that she could make a good scout as long as she was patrolling at night. Sahala really hoped that she would be allowed to join. It had been a long time since she had had a purpose in her life so she was ready to dedicate her time to the Peke Na. "Alright, lead the way!" She could probably figure out where the young one had come from by following his trail but she would let him try to figure it out.
