Slavic had met the one he wanted for the rest of his life. He had left her alone for a while in a safe place, told her that he needed to go see his Wild Dog Master-to make sure he was alright. One did not know how someone would react. Especially Machu. So, he had left Kupala in a safe haven, and promised his return.
Then with a quick step, headed towards where he knew Machu would be. Plodding along, his hooves hitting the earth quickly, he caught smell of something. His nose wrinkled. Something smelled awful-death. He felt his body shutter. Something had died... and something was atop it. He stopped to stare at he carcuss of-what ever it was-and in disgust at the creature feasting. He made a noise in the back of his throat.

Anastasia was already used to being alone. She had in fact-liked it. Padding along, her blue paws padding lightly, sending little tendrils of dust over her... she enjoyed walking immensely. She liked lots of things... and then there were things she didn't like. She didn't like babies... she didn't like birds... or rabbits. She liked big animals... not small ones. She liked water... not the sun. She hated-HATED anything she was supposed to eat...
But... there was one thing she hated-and that was hunger. She had smelled the dead animal before she saw it. Hunger tempted her and she could not help but dig in. She had her mouth full of the not-so-bad food when she heard some noise behind her. She turned, to see a waterbuck-a prey... standing there. She growled, her little chest and tail puffed as she bounced down to stare up at him.
"MINE!" She barked, her tiny eyes narrowing.

Slavic stared down at the bundle that would be scary at a time of her life that he would not see. He smiled down to her, blinking at her outburst. What a lively one... and already demanding things of him-what a little trooper. Made him want to have little girls of his own, and hoped that if Kupala did have his children-there'd be a girl... He smiled wider.
"It is alright little one... I do not plan on taking your kill... I do not eat that stuff... much." He said with a chuckle, stepping over her and on his way... when he stopped for a moment. What was a little girl like her doing out here alone? "W-where's your Mom?" He asked suddenly, looking to her with a worried look. Was she an orphan?

Ana stared up at him with a nasty look on her face. How dare food talk to her like that! All smiling and what not. She felt her anger flush her face. He was being rude... not respecting her at all. She stood up and glared with two toned eyes at him. She stood tall, her ears up... tail erect. She wouldn't let him intimidate her into giving up her food. She lifted her head. "It's mine... so you couldn't have it anyway..." She said, looking at him from the corner of her eye.
She sat down and was glad to see he was going away but as soon as that happy thought passed her head, she seen him turn to her and stop. No... go away... "My Mom is somewhere... I fine alone." She said, speaking in syllables, like she did when she felt angry or dominant. "I eat alone... I fine." She said, lifting her head high.

Slavic gazed down at the little lady and could not help but laugh. What a personality. He lowered his head to gaze at her closely. What a little fireball.. and so oddly marked. He had never seen such a thing. He observed her marks, the white and blue spots, the navy fur... the odd eyes. She was a bit of everything wasn't she. He stepped over her, gazing down at her. "Well I am glad you don't want to share." He said with a laugh, lifting his head to gaze around. He was hoping Machu wasn't around... if he found a lone pup who knew what he'd do it her.
"Doesn't your Mom get worried?" He asked, looking back down to her with a questioning look. "Don't you think you should stay by your Mom? She might be missing you terribly." He said, nodding his head affirmatively.

Anastasia glared up at him. How dare he keep mentioning her Mom. He knew nothing of her. She stood up and snapped at him few times to show him how strong and mighty her teeth where. She made a few yapping noises too, just for kicks. Just to show him how strong she was-how she could hold her own. She tossed up her head, eyes shut in a gesture of not caring. "Mom doesn't need to know where I am all the time." She simply said, sitting down and looking the other way, her ears back angerly.
"Mom stays with the siblings... and Anastasia goes where she wants too. She does what Ana wants.." She said matter-of-factly. She wagged her tail a bit, looking around to make sure her mother was not around. She didn't want to go home-not now.
"Ana does what Ana does."

Where all little girls like this? He blinked down at her and imagined little girl Waterbucks around and about... and felt his heart swell. Oh... Kupala... He wanted so badly to make her think of him highly... to prove to her that he was as good as any other. He shut his eyes... he wanted so badly to be a waterbuck again-to not worry about his master... to be free with her.
He sighed, looking down at her with a kind smile. "Ana... is that your name?" He asked, looking off into the distance, again checking to make sure that Machu was not coming again.
"That is a very pretty name... did your mother give you that?" He asked, looking off into the distance with his brown eyes blinking slowly. He shifted his weight, scenting the air for a moment to keep his surroundings in check. He didn't want any surprises.

Ana stared up at him hard. She'd like to give him a good bite on his skinny legs-to make him go away. She darted her two toned eyes away from him, licking her chops. She would like to eat something right now. She sighed, ignoring him for a moment-before looking up at him. "Yes..." She said simply to his rather dull question. She rolled her eyes, sitting down and curling her tail around her paws. What a rather dull creature.
She wondered if her mother have ever given her any waterbuck meat before. She pondered it, licking her lips again. She bet it was rather tasty. She smiled up at him, her little forehead wrinkled. "Ana will be a big girl someday-and she'll eat you..."
She giggled to herself quietly.

Slavic stared down at her. What a cruel little thing she was already. He shook his head at her, his horns reflecting in the light. He lowered his nose to her, giving her a snort and a push with his muzzle. "Oh really." He asked, not a bit afraid of her now, but in the future he very well would stay away from her if he could. He didn't trust many, only Machu. He would not eat him-not right away anyway.
Ugh, he shook that thought from his head. No more being so down and so lowly. He was an adult.. and... he would not have to rely on Machus company. He felt rather empowered by this. He stood up and puffed out his chest-his heart pounding. He dared that prince to come-so he could give him a good fight... he'd prove if he had too-that he was stronger and that he'd take care of Kupala...

Ana glared up at him and snapped at his nose as he touched her. HOW DARE HE. She growled, standing up and turning her side to him to show how puffed up she could be-how big and scary she was. She'd like to give him a good lesson in how to behave in the presence of a hunter such as she. She growled and bared her teeth at him. "Ana kill you." She said simply, looking away from him and standing up. She started to head past him, looking the opposite direction of him... and then
When she got close enough, she snapped out at his leg-attempting to take hold of it and scare him... make him scared of her. She missed though, only managing to throw her chest into his skinny leg. Standing up quickly, she saundered past him again... happy to have shown him whats-what.

Slavic was not at all startled at the little pups attack on him. He narrowed his eyes, looking down at her as she made her move. what a little turd. He wrinkled his nose, lifting his leg away from her before she decided that nibbling on him was a wonderful idea. He snorted again, surprise at her reaction to missing him completly with those puppy teeth of hers. He could not help but smile though, at her turning and walking away. A grand final'e for sure.
He reared up, and making sure not to hit her, slammed his hooves down behind her-sending tendrils of dust into the air. He then gave her a snort and tossed up his had-turning away from the little girl.
He hoped that if he had calves someday-they were not as... rambunctious as that little blue girl.

Ana heard him shift from where he stood, and when she turned to give him another snarl, he was trying to stomp the living daylights out of her. She squeeled, her tiny legs scrambling as she felt his hooves thunder on the ground, sending up smoke. He was a demon-A DEMON. She cried out in fear, running as fast as her little blue and white legs could carry her.
How horrible. First he attempted to steal her food and then to stomp her guts out. What a horrible horrible creature. She promised herself that she'd get him back someday-when she was bigger and meaner-she'd gnaw out his eyes
