Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Cerulean woke up and stretched as she yawned and smacked her lips.* "What...happened? Why am I in the middle of a field? And where's everyone esle?" *Suddenly she recalled the incident and looked up into the sky for any sign of the helicopter. Nothing. She howled for a long time, mourning over her brother and whimpering for his saftey. She remembered the others and ran to their dens. There they were, the whole pack, scattered, torn and covered in blood. She whined and her jaw shivered as she sniffed each one, then finding out that they were all dead, even her mother and father had been killed. But she noticed something, Alfadar was missing. Where could he be? She sniffed around and caught his scent trail then a sudden flash of excitment flooded through her as the scent got stronger. Then, the scent rose into the air and vanished. Cerulean's jaw shivered and she howled a long, mournful howl, letting the whole forest know that the pack had been killed and her two brothers missing. She ceased howling and ended it with her jaw shivering violently. She had to keep moving on, she couldn't just let it all out, she had to find Dark Mage and Alfadar. She fought back tears as she jogged through the forest towards the direction from where she had last seen the helicopter disappear. Eventually, she ended up at the edge of town, and it was FILLED with humans. Great. More humans. She walked unfearfully through town and saw puppies in a box. She tilted her head and walked up to them, they were the same size as her, but they were all black and one of them caught her eye. A little female jumped out of the box and sniffed Cerulean curiously. Cerulean sniffed her back and they hit it off, playing and running around with each other.* "What's your name?" "Mine? I'm Cerulean, what's yours?" "I'm Apollo, nice to meet you Cerulean!" "Nice to meet you too, hey do you want to help me find my brother?" "Well, I don't know...I guess I could, it's not like my brothers and sisters play with me anyway." "Well, we won't be doing too much playing, just adventuring." "Sounds great to me!" "All right, let's go!" "Wait! Would you mind if I snagged a hot dog Cerulean?" "Hot dog? I don't know what those are...but ok." *Apollo wandered through the town with Cerulean close behind until Apollo stopped and crept up next to a cart. Cerulean tilted her head when a new scent entered her nose. It didn't smell too good, but if Apollo wanted it, she would get it, on her own. Apollo jumped up, snatched a hot dog between her teeth, and took off into the other side of town. Cerulean galloped after her and laughed as she was panting hard.* "Are you tired already Apollo?" *Cerulean laughed.* "Yeah, aren't you! We just ran all the way through town! You are a German Shepherd aren't you?" "German Shepherd?! I don't even know what that is! I'm a wolf and proud of it! Aren't...you?" "No, I'm a German Shepherd...hm...well, I'm hungry, here, take some." *Apollo tore the hot dog in half and threw one half to Cerulean and started eating. Cerulean tilted her head and licked it curiously.* "Blech! This is gross! How can you force yourself to eat this!?!" " Force myself? I love hot dogs!" "Well, if it's food, it's food. As long as it keeps me alive." *Cerulean snapped up the hot dog, threw it in the air and let it plop on her tongue. She swallowed it whole and waited for Apollo to finish hers.* "You ready to go?" "Yeah, let's go." *Cerulean and Apollo jogged together, side by side.*Apollo------>

*Cerulean stopped and looked back, head held high. She had sensed her brother howling in the opposite direction. She closed her eyes and chanted some words in her head and listened intently as they echoed through her mind. Suddenly, an image of her brother Dark Mage, came into view. He had a spiked collar around his neck and chained up against a pillar. He was struggling to break out of it and biting the chain, but stopped and continued jumping forward, trying to break the chain. Cerulean flashed back into reality and confronted Apollo.* "Apollo, he's this way." "How do you know? Do you really know for sure Cerulean?" "Don't question me," she barked, "he's my brother, of course I'm sure, let's go!" *They turned and ran towards the direction from where Cerulean had sensed him calling to her.*
~3 Years Later~
*Cerulean's coat was slick and shiny as she ran against the wind, her fur rustling in the wind and her ears erect and forward. Her tail glistened in the gleaming moonlight and her backbone outlined her magnificent shape. Her long, slender legs resisting the wind's strength, running hard.*
*Apollo ran a good distance behind her, trying to keep up, but gave up and stopped abruptly panting heavily and hanging her head low. The moonlight showed off her elegant features. Her head gleamed despite her hanging it low, she smiled, glad to be with Cerulean. She didn't call for Cerulean to wait, she could always follow her scent trail later.*
*Cerulean slid to a stop and jogged up beside Apollo.* "Are you holding out all right Apollo?" "Yeah, I'm fine, you go on ahead, I can follow your scent after I catch my breath." *Cerulean reluctantly held back her overpowering ambition to run ahead and get more distance traveled between her and her brother, but remained behind with Apollo.* "No, that's all right, I can go hunt down some food for us while you rest, wait here." "Ok." *Cerulean jogged into the thick of the forest and saw a flash of brown zoom by her.* Finally, something with some challenge! *Cerulean didn't even have to take a step, she leapt high into the air and landed smack-dab onto her prey. She killed it quickly, snapping it's neck and instantly killing it. She jogged back to Apollo and dropped the hare between her paws.* "No Cerulean, it's your kill, you eat it. I can find my own food." "No, you need to eat, I've gone a month straight before, without eating a thing. Living off the snow for water, believe me, I'm fine. Besides, we're friends, go ahead and take it." "Well ok, but we're more than just friends, we're our own pack! You know you're the alpha, I'm just the Omega!" "That's not true! We're equals, I'm no greater than you, we're well...I guess both alphas, we're our own leader. I need that...something to hold on to." "If that's what you want to believe, but I still think-no. I KNOW you're a leader Cerulean, some wolves have a knack for it and others don't. I'm one that doesn't." *Cerulean tried to get Apollo off the subject.* "Hurry and eat, we still have a good distance to go." "All right." *Apollo strated eating the hare and Cerulean remained standing, eager to keep moving on.*

"Yes, we are the alpha wolves of this territory. I'm happy to meet all of you. And yes, I have already met Secret. Now then, are you all new wolf pack members? If you are, welcome to Wolf Grounds. Feel free to make find yourself a separate home among our territory from everyone else or you can also share the main wolf den with the rest of us." Sabre welcomed them, but was prepared to protect his territory if they were intruders, looking to claim Wolf Grounds for themselves.

"i can be just as dangerous,if not more,i still havent tested all of my limits yet..we dont know what im cabable of anymore..."she turned to kiba,nodding gently."welcome to our pack,kiba,you too moon.and now,i take my leave.if you need any assistance,just howl a warning and ill be there to assist you."talah turns and walks off towards the tallest peak in the mountains,where she could communicate and extend her telepethy abilities far beyond the neighboring packs.

*ark Mage howled was on guard for intruders and saw there were 2 robbers and bit them somewhwre unpleasent*( *And they ran off to there truck and drove to the hopsital* razz poor people.....)

*Blaze had always been a loner, he was young and had no family to speak of, so he kept to himself, on any other day when he heard gunshots he would make a wide arc around the spot where he heard the noise and just keep moving till there was no other noise except the night air. On this particular day though the shots had been to close. He immediately dropped to the ground and hardly moved for several minutes. He looked up from his hiding place in a tall patch of grass in a snowbank, he saw a few hunters carrying two wolves to a couple of cages. (humans) Blaze thought, (always trapping and taking down anything in their path, ah well, better lay low and make a quick escape before they find me) at least, that was Blaze's plan as always, but.......... And then he saw her, both wolves were female, but the first wolf, the white one, was more beautiful than anything he had ever seen. He was captivated, he kept staring and forgot all about his escape. (grr, I can't fight all of those humans, but maybe if I follow them) He resolved to follow the hunters and free the wolves when they were left unguarded. Blaze had broken through enough locks and barriers left by humans on dumpsters as a pup to know how to pick a lock as well as any creature with apposable thumbs, he was even better than most. His claws were well filed and if all else failed, his teeth could bite through anything. And so he crept behind in pursuit of the captives.*

Okami sat on the ground, bored, Kiba and Secret had not come back yet, she looked over at koji "Kojiiiiii! I'm boooooored!" she said, Koji sweatdroped "well what do you want me to do about it?" he asked

*Dark Mage growled deeply then stopped* "wait your scents familiar I know from somewhere....... but where........" *Dark Mage stared at Cerulean curiosly of where she came from and how he saw her.*
