So it was Rage- how interesting, and yet it seemed fitting. So many wolves seemed to have come on account of the small black female. She might have felt she was weak, but she certainly had a nature about her that was pooling others towards her. But the real question was, had he seen her?
Phib thought back, reviewing the day. He’d gone to see if Cellen was still gone, then he’d gone to see Amélie about where he was. He couldn’t remember seeing Rage, but assuredly she and Cael would be together. “She would be with Cael I imagine.” He spoke, the corners of his ear shifting. “I can’t say I’ve seen her this morning though. It’s not too hot out yet- I would think they’d be around the beach about now.”

Nix pawed at the ground with anticipation, she wanted to see Rage so much, it had been so long. So many questions, of if Rage changed, if she had a mate like Nix did Cellen, what had happened to her thus far since they had been apart.
Had she ever thought of going home...
"The beach?" Nix turned to Cellen with ive blue eyes that were pleading with his, "please, can we go and see if she's there please?" she asked, mroeso begged under the stress and exhileration that had occured over the past day or so.
Then Nix turned back to Phib with the same look in her eyes, "Can we go to her, please?"
----------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile Rage indeed was on the beach, but not with Cael, she was alone. Rage had found herself like that the more recent days. She was trying to get stronger, to prepare for what was to come. But she felt alone...
Rage had gone to meet up with Cael this morning, but he wasn't there, out, probably hunting or something. SO she had wandered to the beach, and was laying on "her rock" looking into her reflection. As if trying to call upon a force within her that could only be seen in the rippling water.

The punk wolf peered into the softened, blue eyes of his mate and, never being able to refuse, he nooded his head. "Of course, Marra, of course!" Brushing up underneath her chin, Cellen drew a deep, soothing rumble from his chest and nuzzled against her.
"Let's not waste anytime...you never know where they'll venture off to," he commented as he began padding towards the opening of the small cave and glanced about.
His brows furrowed slightly as he gritted his teeth slightly.
"Cael, where are you, mate?"
-----------------------------------------------
Running.
That's what he was doing.
As his paws swept across the coarse grass with great stride, the purple and black hued wolf blazed through the wooded area of the packlands. There was something- something was calling towards him. He didn't know what it was, but, it was telling him to run; To run towards the ocean. Not really taking the time to question the feelings, he persued the ocean.
With his tongue lolling out of his mouth with deep breaths, the young teen darted towards the right and began deviating towards the breaker rocks and where the small surf washed upon the warm sands.
Continuing upon a downgrade of rock and sand, Cael stumbled and headed towards the beach. Staggering in step as the deep sands engulfed his every footstep, the teen gritted his teeth and pressed onwards until he came towards the waters edge.
"Still fresh," he muttered as he walked paw deep into the water and winced. A small trail of blood drew from underneath his paws; the cost for finding mischief. Letting the wounds soak and heal, the young teen stood there.
The sharp smell of the ocean overtook his nostrils, stinging unceasingly, until a familiar scent plauged his senses.
"Rage?" He called out as he glimpsed towards the ocean breakers; the long row of rocks that stood a few feet away.

Phib had a feeling his work here was complete. But there was a sense of curiosity involving the girls that for the moment kept him following behind the now enthused Nix and loving Cellen. Rage had been acting funny recently. But between his dealings with Audi, and the rest of the teens, it was hard to say who legitimately acting out and who was simply being rebellious. He was good with adult women. But these teenagers confused the hell out of him.

Nix was pawing at the ground and letting her legs carry her as fast as Cellen would lead. Nix would finally see Rage again! It could just be like old times, well, not exactly. But it could be! Nix wasn't sure though. She hoped Rage hadn't changed too much.
Down the shore they went, Cellen leading of course, Nix following him close behind. Phib was still with them too. Ice eyes scanned the shore ahead of them, what seemed like two far off shadows were down the shore. Maybe Rage was one of them, with that thought Nix's expression grew even more excited.
But who was the other shadow?
------------------------------------
Rage was still staring at her reflection when she heard someone approach her from behind. She almost flinched but when she heard Cael speak all thoughts that 'he' was there faded.
Rage wanted to be prepared, but she didn't know how to fight, how to protect. When she had met with Meskeet, Meskeet told Rage to live she needed to fight, but how coulf she fight if she didn't know how? Something inside Rage told her to just let go, but she couldn't, if she did, she was afraid she'd turn into something like Arguin.
Then everyone would hate her...
She sighed and put her paws over her head, as if trying to block out the world and her thoughts and her past. But there would be no escape, for some reason Rage was feeling alone when there were obviously others around...

His paws swept in long, leaping strides as the punk wolf trailed down the sandy incline and began diverting himself towards the rocky breaker that outstretched into the ocean. Cerulean orbs drifted to where a mass of black sat upon the breakers and, down upon the shoreline of the beach, another figure stood within the ocean.
With the lingering scent of the salty sea, the familiar scent of a good friend penetrated his nostrils. A wide grin spread across his maw as his curled tail swayed a mile a minute.
"Cael! Mate! Where have you been this mornin'?" He exclaimed with his drawn, british accent as he ran towards the younger male and launched himself upon him. Though there was little time for the teen to react, Cellen pinned the male and began nipping at his ear and pawed at his face.
Pinned upon his back and sprawled out within the waters of the ocean, the young teen let a smirk spread across his face as he nipped at the punk wolf. "Hey, hey!" He growled as he rolled onto his side and staggered up to all fours. "I told you this morning but you were still asleep!"
"Well...just tell me again next time then," Cellen chuckled as he stepped aside the male and settled upon his haunches, his curled tail sweeping through the rolling waves that washed upon the shore.
"Have you seen Rage?"
"Yeah. I think she's up on the breaker but,- well, she's not talkin' to me." His ears swiveled back as a rather disheartened look washed upon his maw.
"I'm not sure if I did something wrong."
She had been acting strange lately, and, Cael couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. Did he do something wrong? Did he offend her? He had no clue. Perhaps the female just needed some solitude and time alone? Perhaps.
Shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head, Cellen softly laughed. "Give it time, mate, give it time. Just keep your distance and be curtious, chivalrous and caring; The three C's, mate." Turning back towards Nix and Phib, Cellen nodded his head and directed his gaze towards the rocky breakers. "She's up there, Nix."

Nix tilted her head and blinked, Cellen seemed connected to this other younger wolf, were they brothers? But their colors did not match so well, perhaps they were like her nad Rage...could be.
The other wolf, Cael, seemed upset, Rage wouldn't talk to him? Odd. Usually she'd be as talkative as ever, what happened to her to make her act so strange?
Nix nodded to Cellen and padded forward, now onto the rocks, Rage wasn't far out actually, just kind of leaning over the side, looking in the water. Her tail wagged and her ears folded back,
"Rage?"
-
Rage was still in the same place, focused on her reflection and almost nothing else she could hear voices, one quite familiar, Cael it was, and she smiled. But there were others as well...one...one Rage could've sworn belonged to someone she had lost.
She had to be going crazy.
Then someone called her name. Raising her head and view Rage looked around to have her amber eyes meet blue...impossible. She stood up, her joints quite sore for reasons unknown to Rage...silver pelt...no. Couldn't be.
-
"Rage come on! Get off these rocks...the tides coming in..." Nix then turned around and padded back until her paws were against the sane of the shore, then she watched to see if Rage was going to come or not.
Rage seemed in shock.
-
Walking forward slowly Rage watched the silver pelted female before her...there was blue on her too...but a black symbol on her should, that resembled Rage's but in a different sense.
It couldn't be...
"Nix?"
Nix smiled when Rage stated her name, and she nodded. Rage noticed Phib, Cellen and Cael on the beach too. But her attention was on Nix...how?
Rage's tail started to wag at an unbelieveable rate...keast to her, and she bolted forward, almost slipping on the rocks and dive tackled Nix. Both tumbled over and rolled in the sand, then remembering others were around Rage got up and pawed at Nix,
"How's it possible?"
"Lets not worry about that now, I found you though, thats what matters." Both smiled and pawed at eachother as if they were both pups again and Rage ran over to Cael and pawed at him too, and nudged him with her nose to go up to Nix,
"Cael! Its Nix...my sister...well, literal sister, but she's okay!"
Then Rage turned to Phib adn seemed happier, surely Phib found her yes? Maybe Cellen...how'd she find this place anyway? The Nix pawed at Cellen to push him forward towards Rage,
"Have you been takin good care of her Cellen yes?" Nix said plauflly, she hoped not too well as Celen had been taking care of her recently.

For the time that Nix and Rage were up upon the breaker, Cellen sat silently alongside Cael as they shifted their paws within the sands. The punk wolf could only hope that everything would be alright between both Nix and Rage at their reunion while Cael only hoped that Rage would talk to him again.
When the two females began joyously reuniting and playfully pawing at one another, a warm smile trailed upon Cellen's maw as he watched. "'Nother happy reunion," the curly tailed male remarked as he glanced towards the young adolescent aside him.
Vibrant green eyes grew soft as Cael was surprised and somewhat startled when the black wolfess pawed and nudged him. Rumbling and nipping on her ear, the purple and black hued male pawed affectionately at her face. "I'm glad your happy again, Rage! I never like when you're silent," he smiled as he glimpsed towards the silver-grey pelted female.
With Rage nudging him to proceed forwards, Cael nodded and, with a casual approach, he smiled warmly as he perked his ears upwards and wagged his tail. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Nix. I see you've met Cellen, eh?" Smirking as he tilted his head slightly, Cael chuckled.
"He's a good guy."
"Me? Taking care of Rage? Maybe a bit when she was younger but teens these days seem to leg it and venture off somewhere new...all of them are a bit hot to trot." Wuffing low as he paws back at his mate, Cellen nuzzled against her and stepped towards Rage.
"You're alright, right Rage?"

Rage smiled and wagged her tail, seeing Cael seemed brighter in spirits now. They were close, she knew that, she felt it...but thats what was worrying her...with him coming, them being so close...anyone close to Rage could be at risk...but how could she tell them that?
"Course she has to be alright!" Nix said speaking up wagging her tail and head butting Rage. But Rage seemed lost in thought for a second, then came back into reality, "You okay?"
"Wha?-Oh yea I'm fine...just thinking." she said with a tail wag.
"This is great, it'll just be like old times! Rage, I wonder what the valley is like now...we should go back and see...then we could-" Nix rambled but she was cut off.
"No..." Rage said quietly, ears folding back, eyes falling to the ground.
"What're talking about...we can go back there and just-"
"I'm not going back Nix...I can't go back..."
"What do you mean you can't? What happened in the past is in the past no matter what it may be...besides...your the older of us Rage...that means your the new guar-"
"Nix, no, I'm not going back, I'm staying here..." Rage siad sitting down, tail curling around her. Nix tilted her head in confusion, the Rage she knew never acted like this, but she had to have a good reason for acting like she was. Did she still believe it was her fault...even if it was, it was in the past.
No use dwelling in the past, perhaps Nix and Rage could speak of it at another time.
Nix poked at Rage4's side with her paw and smiled, "Get up you endangered species..." Rage smirked and got up and poked at Nix,
"Don't make me make you become what I am." Both burst out laughing, a game they used to play, making up names for eachother.
Rage stepped over to Cael and seemed to hide behind him, "I bet Cael is strong then Cellen..." even though he was younger. Then Nix trotted over to Cellen, sat next to him and leaned against him...and nuzzled him? Rage's eyes grew wide.
She jumped form behind Cael and pointed with her paw,"You two..your..." Rage couldn't seem to get the word out of her mouth...were they mates? It couldn't be...could it?

There was something about females that males could never understand. Either it was their strange games, their emotions or their actions, both Cellen and Cael were, simply, out of the loop. Both males sat silently listening without uttering a word as both Nix and Rage spoke to one another.
It wasn't until Rage positioned herself behind Cael that the young male grinned and emitted a small, playful hackle as he bared his teeth. Looking back towards Rage with an unbearable grin, the young adolescent focused back at Cellen. "What do you think, Cell; Shall we wrestle for dignity?"
No response.
Either the punk wolf hadn't heard the challenge or he was too busy taking time to...snuggle?
The punk wolf rumbled softly as his curled tail swayed behind him in a fast manner, cerulean orbs gazing back towards the silver-grey pelted female. As he nipped at her ear, his own ears perked upwards as his focus darted towards Rage. Ceasing to gnaw on his mates ear and letting it still rest within his maw, Cellen gave a sheepish smile.
"Mates? Well...I'd perferr the term 'Marra's' but...er-yes. We're mates." Pausing for a few moments, the punk wolf sheepsihly smiled. "Surprise?" Hesitantly smiling as he wasn't sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing, Cellen chuckled softly as he let Nix's ear slid from out of his maw and nuzzled her once again.
Standing behind Rage, Cael was speechless. His eyes looked onwards with either an uncertain sensation or wholesome disbelief. As his tail layed motionless around him, the adolescent lowered his head and walloped a paw over his eyes.
"Great."

Rage was in total disbelief and shock...Nix found a mate before she did? That wasn't fair! Rage was older...well, by six days but still! Rage remembered the days she and Nix would joke around of finding mates, finding the one that would 'complete' them. And Nix found hers first?
Nix tilted her head at Rage, all the whilke still leaning against Cellen smiling, "Surprise surprise Rage..."
"But I'm older then you!" Rage said pouncing forward almost. Rage was smaller then Nix though, it was apparrent in size, Nix had probably grown faster due to she may have traveled alone, and needed to surivive.
Nix smirked, "Maybe..." she flicked her tail and snuggled against Cellen. Rage felt out of the loop, Nix was seeming to have a much better time adjusting to different situaitons, much faster then Rage ever could. Perhaps thats why Rage felt a need to get stronger and better... to find 'him' first and protect everyone here...thats why she was so quiet now and then. Thinking, planning...but she didn't want anyone else to know.
Rage turned her gaze to Cellen now, and she smirked, "You better take care of her...take real good care of her okay?" Rage asked, almost in a whisper. Nix was the only thing Rage had relatively close to a family member. Rage wanted Nix to be happy.
Then Nix turned to Cael, and she smiled, "SO...you seem close to Rage hmm?" Nix had to wonder, he seemed like a nice wolf, young, but strong...Nix wondered if there was anything between Rage and Cael now...

Nuzzling against his mate as the two females playfull quarreled, Cellen sat back and took up gnawing upon his mates ear and rumbling with a content nature. Slinking his maw away and off Nix's ear, the curly tailed wolf manuvered his muzzle towars that of Nix but was yeilded as Rage spoke to him.
Perking up his ears as he chuckled softly, the punk wolf smiled warmly. "You have my word, Rage," he replied as he then tenderly planted a small lick upon his mates nose.
Cael was softly contempating and musing by himself when he too found himself interrupted when Nix questioned him.
Raising his head and letting his green eyes meet those of the silver hued female, Cael nodded. "Yes. We've been childhood friends, since we were pups. She brought me to these packlands and, well- ever since that I've stayed here."
Glancing towards the black wolfess, Cael thumped his tail upon the sands and smiled. He truly did love her and vowed to protect her but, still, it remained unclear if that was her intentions as well; to become something much more than good friends.

Nix smiled and nuzzled against Celen, seeing Rage knowing Cellen and Rage having Cellen promise to take care of her...it was good, Nix was glad Rage approved of him. She wagged her tail and playfully poked at Cellen with her paw.
Rage was watching as Cellen and Nix seemed all lovey-dovey. Out of the corner of her eye Rage watched Cael, how he spoke to Nix...yes, how they've known each other for so long though it seemed just a short while ago when she 'met' him, though it was more of a finding...when she got lost.
Rage smiled nad wagged her tail, her tail hitting his on purpose, hopefully he'd know that. Rage was an affectionate wolf, but these times and things she was caught up in...she just wanted to be careful. Arugin could've hurt Cael...she didn't want Cael or anything hurt on her account. Then that reminded her,
"By the way Nix...if you see a blue wolf around...thats Arguin..."
Nix froze for a second, "A joke right? I mean...we talked about him being real before but-"
"Seriously Nix, he's alive, even Cellen knows that...just be careful around him...it seems like...a darkness was built in him..."Rage spoke quietly. But then shook it off and smiled and playfully pawed at Cael.
Nix said nothing else, if Rage said he was real then it was true..and if she spoke of a darkness...then that must mean that 'he' was real too. Maybe thats why Rage was acting so strange, because she knew 'he' might come here...it would make sense.
But neither of them wanted to worry the boys, or Phib, or anyone else. Phib had seemed to blend in with everything around them, probably wanting Rage adn Nix to get aquainted again. Both Rage and Nix looked at eachother...strangely actually, adn nodded to eachother.
Simultaneously they turned and poked at Cael and Cellen and said,
"Tag, your it!" and ran down the beach. It'd be nice, to just forget everything around them, it would do Rage and Nix both good, for what was coming.

The punk wolf rumbled as he slid closer towards Nix and swayed his curled tail with upmost glee.
Meanwhile, Cael sat there but quirked an eyebrow as he looked towards Rage and smiled. As the black wolfess thumped her tails upon his, he did the same; swaying his tail and hitting hers. When Arugin was mentioned both males scowled and gritted their teeth.
Arguin.
That was one wolf that both Cellen and Cael sought revenge upon after what they did to Rage and for what he intended to do to her. But the blue wolf wouldn't stop either male from protecting those they loved and, truthfully, they would put their lives on the line for both Nix and Rage.
Trying to avoid the conversation and focusing elsewhere, Cael's thoughts were aburpted as Rage pawed at him. Pinning his ears back in a playful motion, Cael reached up and pawed back as he growled softly. Just as he was to swat her upon the muzzle, the brown and purple wolf was thrown off as he was suddenly poked along with Cellen.
Shaking his head as the two females fled, Cale glanced towards Cellen.
"Do females like being chased?" He questioned as he knitted his brows slightly in confusion.
"Well," pursing his lips as he stood up on all fours, the punk wolf glanced towards the two females as they ran towards the shoreline. "Let's put it this way; if they're leggin' it for fun and laughin' that's a good thing."
"Best not keep them waitin'," Cellen chuckled as he lunged across the sands, tongue lolling slightly to the side as he began persuing his mate.
"Hey! Come on! Team effort!" Leaping after his "older brother," Cael began darting across the sands as his eyes narrowed towards the black pelted female.
"I'll catch you, Rage!"
