Fear was something that could permeate every bone and every nerve within a creature. It fuelled the desire to keep oneself alive, if just to continue fearing and wandering on. Fear was something that could continue the fight, the biggest fear of all, the will to avoid that dark and unknown place known to those that fought and lost. Fear. It was something the vagabond knew well, and she ran from it, trying to avoid it as much as she could, though she knew it would catch up with her one day.

The woods were dark, and her frail form was weak from lack of sleep and food. She was filthy, her coat matted, and mud plastering her lower legs, already in their colouration mimicking the dirt on her black coat. Her dark green eyes, near black in colour, were lacking their spark, and were dulled. She looked the epitome of fear-sick. The female could only blame herself for her isolation from her own species. Her name was Vashti, and she was unworthy of her title as a wolf. She hated it, despised it, and wished it away with every fibre of her being. She wanted freedom from the implications that came with being wolf, but there was no escape. She was what the Gods had deemed her to be, and she could not escape.

Her paws were bloodied and tired, but still she pressed on through the damp undergrowth. A fresh spattering of rain had freshened the whole forest, but left this thin and sickly looking beast looking more of a drowned rat then a freshened wolf, proud of her standing in nature. Her eyes were ever shifting, watching out for dangers to flee from. Her heart leapt at every sound, her bowel constantly tightened. Her fur was heavy with wetted dirt, and she was slowly getting lower and lower as she walked on. Where was she headed? Who knew, possibly not even the dismal looking wolf traipsing through the undergrowth.

Viene didn't know where she came from. Who her parents were, or what pack she was to hold loyalty to. She wandered throughout the forest with her tail between her legs, afraid of what she did not know. Afraid of a past that she was unaware of. Wandering was not something she minded. She could find food, on her own, she kept her health, played with herself most of the time.

She had never known friendship, love, loss, or betrayal. She still doesn't understand how to act around other wolves. This is why she travels alone unsure of others, and unsure of herself. Always hoping though to find someone, something, in these lonely woods. Maybe this wolf here, walking low to the earth, almost blending in, maybe this wolf.

Sensing another's approach, Vashti froze, melding into the mud and dirt about her almost perfectly. Her eyes searched before her, but she saw little. Her mind worked quickly. The intruder on her relative, lonely peace was either behind her, or just off to the side. Her heart rate quickened, and her lax muscles tightened just a fraction, her inability to look after herself these days making it hard for her to escape situations as she once had as a healthy youngster.

Turning herself slowly, still low to the ground, she spied the other almost immediately. Unlike herself, this one had very little natural colouration that would make her hard to spot, if she so wished to be hidden. Her electric lines of teal green were attractive, but they made her stand out vividly in this dark neck of the woods. A snarl momentarily washed over Vashti's face, her yellowed teeth bared for but a fraction of a second, eyes darkening to a near black in her distaste of being followed, or at any rate found, by another wolf. Her ears laid right back, strength impossible to find to lift them up much these days, she allowed her hackles to rise, if only a little; the muck that clogged her fur was heavy, and didn't allow her much movement of fur.

"Speak, why do you follow me? Am I not far enough from civilisation yet? You seek to drive me further? Turn from me, I leave!" She snapped, her voice cracked and fragmented, a course sound. She slunk back a bit, her thin, frail body still pressed low to the ground. "Go! Move away!"

Viene stood poised, knowing her dark colors would almost hide her from the other wolf's presence. Knowing that this wolf was not apart of a pack made her fearful.

She had only seen others together, never alone like she was. She hadn't encountered any other wanderers on her travels before. Fear shocked her body, and her foolish notions of finding a companion slipped away. She bent her head down low, a slight curl to her lip exposed an porcelain white canine. She could take care of herself and was still strong.

Her muscles tensed under her fur as the frailer wolf approached her. Viene noticed the mud and dirt that hung from her coat. As she looked at her still tensed compassion swept through her. What had happened to this wolf?

It was briefly lived as the other snapped at her. Startled Viene knocked her head upward on a branch in the bush she was hiding in. "Oi!" Ah ow," she growled. "No I do not bid you to leave, I only wonder where you come from. I have never seen another wolf alone before, they are usually together in the packs. I do not know what pack I belong too." She put her head back lower eye level to the other not too close but close enough to her ear she whispered, "As you wish me to go away I turn and leave, however, perhaps we could travel for some time together, help each other maybe?"

Vashti quaked in her fur, the female's growl eliciting in her the age old routine of just flopping over and showing her stomach. She crouched lower, her eyes narrowing and heart beating hard. She cowered a little in her position, lip drawn back a little, but not enough to cause fear or intimidation. She stayed put, as the female had said to, in Vashti's hazed mind. Where had she come from, even she wasn't sure anymore!

"Far off. Far off. Close to the sea, yes, close to the sea at one time. Then in a forest, deep inside a forest." She cowered further as the female moved close to her, and she tried to scuttle back from the encroaching electric patterned female. "Need no help, going nowhere and everywhere. Just walk, like I do. No help needed to walk, I can still do that." She muttered. "Once with a pack, once long ago, but no more, decided not to stay, yes? I wander away, and never return. Safer. Not really a wolf, just a husk. A husk on a wind, blown away, away, away..."

Vienne had never seen another wolf act this way, so afraid, so scared. The wolf's dull coloring made her gaze at her own flashes of electric color. Would her color fade away as this lonley wanderer too? He shoulders shuddered, but how could she be so vain? "The sea you say?" Her ears perked up. "Oh how intriguing, I have never been to the sea! No, I only stay deep in the forest where I can easily hide. The darkness is where I mostly stay deep within the dark shadows and green leaves." Her eyes wandered towards the shadows. She bent her head down again. "If I may inquire..." she rested on her back legs and turned her head slightly to the left. "Where are you headed too, do you know? For I am new in these woods and I'm not sure as to where to go."

Vashti frowned at the other female in mild confusion. Why was she still here and talking to Vashti? Most left her to it after a few quick fire questions. This was... this one was most strange. Perhaps it was the electricity that patterned her back? Perhaps it had gotten into her brain and fuddled her thoughts? Vashti knew how that felt... She suddenly grinned and let her tail wag once or twice. This one, perhaps, was mad as she? Exciting!

"Not go nowhere, but go all ways. No set direction, only onward. No place to stop, no place to stay. Just keep walking." She tilted her head at the larger female a little. "Forests full of packs. Full of wolves and wild creatures. All no friend of Vashti. I walk away from them. That is true. True through and through." Her shoulder took up a quick twitching, that stopped as she placed it a step forward, as though a nerve had been trapped, or a bur from her muddied fur had stuck into the skin and caused an irritation.

"Don't know these woods. Don't know any woods. Too young, don't remember. Only a den. Warm, safe. But not there any more. Gone. Don't know these woods."

Viene tilted her head to the side as the other spoke. She spoke so strangely. No home, no den? That's like me! Her head lifted up and her tail twitched from side to side. Hey lets travel together? What do you say? I wander to alone but two might be better than one. We might get into some trouble, but maybe we might be better off together. Who know's? Maybe I can help you in some way, find another home that's warm like you used to know. Viene looked through the dark forest wondering what might lay ahead, in her mind she thought it would be better to share some of her time with someone else. Not knowing where she came from who knows where she would go next. Well I'm off so you can come with me whether you want to or not, in either case staying here with your troubles won't take you to where you want to go. Viene turned away slightly, walking slowly into the dark, thick woods, keeping one eye on the other wolf, just in case.
