Welcome to Gaia! ::

Suna shifted to his wolf form following the large pack as they calmly padded into the camp. Women sat outside doing different things, mostly sharpening weapons or making pottery. It was considered wrong for them to take their wolf forms unless in battle. The men that hadn't gone on the hunt or that weren't in wolf form were conversing and eating some type of prey. The wolves that were just regular animals played with children, all of which were in their human skins. You could tell the actual shifters from regular animals due to the fact that they were the size of horses and some bigger, and they were decorated with odd patterns or beads or piercings or feathers.
"Follow me," Erin murmured to the group as the pack dispersed. Eyes watched the odd group as Erin lead them to a large tree that had been hollowed out.
"Red woods," Tatsuke murmured as Devin stared at the tree in astonishment. A woman was inside the huge tree, potions and herbs littering the hollow.
"Ayala, You have patients," Erin addressed the older woman with care. She smiled fondly but her smile faltered as she gazed at Kuri. She touched the gashes on kuri's face.
"Ashter," She hissed before turning and grabbing two bottles from one of the inner crevices of the tree. Erin was ordered to lay her down as Ayala prepared herbs.
"Leave me." She ordered and shooed them from the den. Suna cursed, but walked out anyway.The wolves around stared at them curiously, eyes wide. Tatsuke glared back at the eyes, as did Suna. Didi just nervously looked away, but Devin raised an eyebrow.

"Suna, introduce us to your friends," the large black wolf from earlier came and sat in front of them, Erin at his side.
"Devin, Dark, and Didi," He gestured to each of them in turn and then glanced at Dark's expression.
"How about we take you on a tour? Tatsuke don't forget, you are always welcome. No matter the fact that you're from the Northern tribe," Erin smiled. Tatsuke nodded and gazed at Didi.
"Come on Didi, i'm going to show you and Grim where Suna and I use to spend our time." Tatsuke knelt down, allowing her to board his back, and then set off into the forest surrounding the island.
"The rest of you will follow me, a tour seems fit for you," the black wolf grumbled. Erin shook his head.
"I'll take them dad," He smiled, and the black wolf padded away.
"No, the demon Devintarus stays with me," Ayala suddenly appeared from the tree and beckoned to him. Devin's eyes widened at the use of his full name, but followed her back inside none the less.
"Dark, come on," Suna nosed her again and then began to follow Erin.

Erin looked at Dark, and smiled.
"You needn't worry. Kuri is in the hands of the most powerful Shamanka in all the wolf tribes," He smiled again and lead them to a rock wall with a huge cave in it. Suddenly a loud roar echoed, and a bunch of small children being chased by one of the tribal men squealed with laughter as they ran from the cave.
The wolf was large and gray a little paler then Erin. He turned and stopped as he gazed at the trio. His eyes were a beautiful blue.
"Erin, who have you brought?" He managed a toothy smile in his form, and then gazed at Suna.
"Little brother," he acknowledged Suna in the native language.
"This is Kane. He was suppose to be Kuri's mate. it was decided when they were pups, when Kuri was first born. but of course, their mother took them away from us and this is the first time we've seen these guys since Kisuke left to the vampire realm," Erin smiled. Suna shook his head.
"He's back in Assiah (The earth realm) with a vampire boy named Noire," Suna sighed remembering how they ran off. Erin nodded.
"Sounds like him," Kane gazed at Dark, and then Suna.
"Is this your mate?" He asked curiously. Suna looked exasperated as he laughed.
"What? No!" He laughed again, causing Erin to chop him in the back of the head.

Erin saw through her face, but Suna was oblivious due to the growing welt on the back of his head.
"Would you like me to tell you their history here?" Erin asked curiously as Suna lunged for him, instead falling on his face beside Kane.

"Right when Suna and Kuri were born, Their mother brought them here. She introduced them to Ayala, who blessed them, and took them to see their father. and when she did, it made their mother mad. so she took them away and then ended up abandoning them." Erin sighed and then continued.
"When they were thirteen they had already gotten tatsuke's company, and they came back for a visit upon tatsuke's advice. he had told them about us, and he knew where we were, so they came here. that's when they met me, and Kane again. Although Kane liked kuri, kuri didn't necessarily like him," Erin grinned. At this point Kane shifted to his human form.

Erin continued, "Well Suna and the others were very odd to the tribe, due to the god's blood that runs in their veins. Our tribe is known for our abnormally large wolf forms, but they were on another level of odd. You know the wings, and spikes and all?" He looked at Suna before continuing.
"Tatsuke and Kuri were even more odd because, well Tatsuke's mother is of the Northern tribe, which explained his predominantly white fur, but coming from the other tribe made him different. Kuri broke the laws of society because she was constantly in her wolf form, and that's just not the norm for our tribe. When they left it was sad, but they've always been regarded of highly for their gifts and such. Speaking of which, where's that little rodent that Kuri always keeps around?" Erin asked curiously, his eyebrows raised. Suna's head whipped towards Dark with a questioning look.
"Did you grab him?" He asked his face showing slight panic.

"We have no way to get back into the plains, unless Devin left open that portal," Suna said. he thought for a moment briefly before nodding.

Suna gazed into the portal opening his mouth open.
"Irresponsible one he is," Suna smirked before stepping inside the portal, looking to make sure Dark followed.
