Shadow at Dawn (open)

[brasurr]

The moon had just fallen and the sun showed only a quarter of its light. Clouds drifted just aloft the trees and along the forest floor lay a small black varg, weak and left behind. The sun nearly blinded him as he awoke. He stared the sun in the face for as long as he could bear only to roll to the other side, keeping his paws in close to his body for warmth. His entire body hurt, Why did I have to get so noble?! He thought to himself. To fight the Dragga was foolish! Now Brasurr lay a pup abandoned frightened and in pain. Was there no kind soul to lift him from this heartless land?

He struggled to his feet and tried fruitlessly to walk. He meerely landed on his side again triggering pain in his entire body by falling on a severely bruised rib. All around him life skittered by, small animals he could've been eating if it hadn't been for his arogance. He stood again resting his weight on his right paw so he didn't further injure the left and tried to hobble along. This is better he thought to himself. Maybe he wasn't destined to die after all. He continued on until the sun was high in the sky and fell to the opposite side of his injured rib and rested until the sun fell behind the trees and the moon rose opposite the sun. He got up and began his weary treck until he made his way beyond the woodland and into an open field with tall dying grass and slept another day.

He awoke again to the familiar call of his own kind, only to realize he had made the noise in his mind. This was utterly pathetic, he couldn't even feed himself. It was then he found a small rabbit, very small and injured, maybe in his same prediciment. Brasurr inched forward twards it trying to keep his hobble quiet was tricky at best. He made a fruitless swipe at it and it ran away. He hoped it fell in a lera hole, one much bigger than the little scrap could handle and be killed on the spot! He rolled to his side again, this time he smelled another rabbit. stupid lera's making fun of me now! he thought then he rolled his head to look and saw a freshly killed one laying a few feet from him. It was torn apart, obviously already been eaten by his former Dragga or another Varg. He hobbled over and examined it, there was some meat left but he found when he began to chew that it was tough and stringy, but it was better than nothing so he continued gnawing at it until it was gone, rolled over and fell asleep agian.

The moon reflected off of the young pup's snow white coat and she journeyed through the forest.

Karis felt herself starting to weaken from going without food for 3 days, for the fear of stopping to hunt would bring them closer to her. Night after night she heard the haunting howls of that scary lone Dragga calling to her, she had to get away.

All of a sudden the sweet sent of rabbit drifted to her it was close and she had to eat something before she died from starvation. Creeping around the trees silently Kairis tried to pin point where the smell was coming from. She was distracted by another smell on much stronger then the rabbit. It was the smell of another varg.

Bracing herself for the unexpected she stepped into the opening to see a black varg lying in the grass.
Was it dead? she wondered going to investigate.

[Snowflame]

The young fae padded peacefully through the forest, sniffing around for any hint of Lera, though she was not fussed. Her pale muzzle was still stained from the deer carcass she had found not long ago, and her belly was full with the delicious venison.

Suddenly, Snowflame picked up the mouth watering smell of rabbit from not far away. Should she investigate? Even though she had not long eaten, a meal shouldn't be ignored.

Her pale grey pelt glistened in the moonlight as she hurried towards a meadow. Instantly Snowflame saw a young black mann lying on the ground like he was dead. She also noticed another Varg, this one a female, near the male. They both looked younger than her, so with the air of authority, she boldly trotted towards them and said in her bravest voice, "Why hello there! My name is Snowflame! What are you two doing here?" She tried to sound as if she hadn't a worry in the world, even though she did.

She hoped with all her might that the black mann wasn't dead, so she came over to investigate, all the while keeping an eye on the snow white fae.

The young cubs black body slinked through the calm forest after hearing what seemed like other wolves. The wolfs fur shined in the dim sunlight making her shine like a black diamond. She trotted to where she heard the sound.
"It seems like ages since i've had contact with another wolf." she thought.
She continued trotting through the trees. The wolf peeked around a tree and saw two wolves.
"Maybe I can make friends with them so i won't be lonely anymore" she sighed.
The young wolf watched them, hoping they would notice her, becsuse she was very shy, and had not been around other wolves since her parents had died.
She continued to watch the wolves excitedly, trying to build up enough courage to say hello.
