Love is where we started(((Mist)))

[Chayton]

The cool air tickles the bi-hued mann's back, his auds focus on one sound that he waits for. What seems like years ago, is actually more like months. But the love that he and his mate declared burns brightly every morning, every night. It is especially today, that the mann feels the emotion, raw and unhindered. So enourmous that sometimes it swallows you up. Love, every story has it, every varg had heard of it.

The days have gone so quickly, up till now when every moment seems like an eternity. Chayton smiles softly, his long and slender form slwoly pass by the trees as he waits. She will be here, shortly, a nother minute more is all. His thoughts are calm, the only sound he can hear is the beating of his heart. It speeds up then slows down. Rapids.

For a moment he pauses, thinking he hears something....only a bird. A sweet bird that follows him about the Deor Terra. But today the mann stops, and turns to trot back to his original standing. To his original quest, intent, thought. Love, they had first met and something woke inside him, the way she was, perfect with fishing, kind, gentle. Him, a dejected runt of a mann who stood out like a sore thumb no matter where he stands. But Tor and Fenris saw it fit for them to come together as one.

He lets out a sigh, wonders where she might be, he had told her he had a surprise, he did, it wasn't much. Some fish bones, and twigs and dried grass put together to make a small bed, for the pups. When they were born. Which brings him back to his intent, thought and being.

Where was she? Has it been only a few minutes but to him it feels like an eternity? Was he more time sensitive now that things seemed more important, now tha tthe love seemed to burn brighter than the sun it'self? Or was it that she was taking her time?

[Mist]

To the grey fae, moving like a shadow through the wooded landscape of the Deor pack, today seems like the perfect day. Every day she has had Chayton beside her has seemed almost perfect, but today is different. Who knew when they first met that they would become mates with a burning love for each other so powerful that they will prove this love to the world in the form of pups. When they first met they were both young - she taught him how to fish and after a few days they talked about their future in Deor - as friends. Even then no one could have had any idea what that friendly love would come to. This, the perfect, burning love between mann and faemme...

Striding softly closer to where she knows Chayton will be Mist suddenly shivers with a sensational feeling. Her whole body from nose to sleek tail quiver with excitement, and she knows that if she goes any faster than her current pace of swift walk she will not be able to contain herself and will race forward with all possible speed. Shaking her head as these thoughts fly swiftly jumbled through her head she throws her head up to the sky and lets out a loud call, telling the world of her feelings and her love that she is coming. There is no need for hesitation, no reason not to give herself fully. Bounding forward she races toward the high point above the cave where she knows Chayton will be waiting for her.

He had told her that he had a surprise for her, and recalling the soft, proud look in his eyes Mist cannot help but wonder what it could be. Well, she will soon find out. As each second passes her powerful limbs take her closer to the future as well as closer to her love. Spotting him not far from where she had imagined him to be the shadowy fae slows to a steady lope and swiftly comes to his side. Her eyes shine brightly and she cannot supress another quiver of tremendous feeling as it runs through her once more. "Chayton..." She says softly, that one word seeming to ripple through the cool air. Laughing softly she nuzzles him. "I love to say your name, Chayton. And I love that you are going to be the father of my pups..."

[Chayton]

She came like a light that moves across the land. A sensation runs through the mann's body and chills make their presence known. At her touch he lets out a sigh."Waiting to see you felt like an eternity." he laughs "Even though I saw you in the morning."

Father?The words seems strange and familar. So many moments have been spent waiting. With out a nother moment wasted the mann pads up the cave's side. Beyond the top lies a gathering of trees, perfectly hidden from prying eyes. Only the gods can view the moment when two souls become one. "Mist, I love you soo much, I'd do anything for you, and I will do anything for our pups."
He smiles, excitment builds.

As he appraoches the begining of the trees, he moves aside a branch of a low hanging tree to reveal the hideaway. Gorgeous colors surrounds the two vargs. What a perfect place. "I hope you like it." He grins and nuzzles her, the setting sun casts an orange color over the vargs. "I have something for you."
He pauses, he hopes that this small gesture, this small token of love will let her know. Something to prove to the world that he loves her more than life itself. Strange how love can be, you can die for one another, you take your own life with a grin, but your loved one's life is precious like a tiny piece of glass that could break at any moment. But he had to be a strong rock to protect the glass.

[Mist]

Sighing softly as she notices the almost electric feeling in the air as Chayton involuntarily mimics her shiver. Somehow it makes her smile knowing that he is feeling the same strong emotions as she is. At his words she nuzzles him gently and nods. "I'm sorry I kept you waiting, love. For a while there I couldn't trust myself to go any faster than a walk. I felt that if I ran to you I would start to fly and would not be able to come back to you..." She leans gently against him for a moment. "But now I'm here..."

After a moment more she tilts her head in curiosity as he pads softly toward the cave, looking back at her to make sure she is following. Smiling softly she trots forward until she has reached his side and then follows his gaze to see the hidden spot. It is perfect... As he speaks she turns to gaze into his eyes, filled as hers are with anticipation and burning love. She licks him on the muzzle and nods. "You truly will make a wonderful father... our pups will not know how blessed they are. I love you too, love... so much that I could never possibly tell you the extent of my love."

Knowing he wishes to show her something Mist follows him a short ways and as he moves aside an overhanging, protective branch she cannot help but gasp at the beauty, for at this moment Fenris has chosen to bathe the area in his warm, golden rays. The mates are surrounded in light and color, and at this moment, nothing could be more perfect. Nodding dumbly she cannot take her eyes off the sight for a few minutes and then finally turns to look at him, her face shining. "It is perfect.... the gods have truly blessed us, and have guided your decision..." At his next words she tilts her head again, wondering what else he could have to show her. Nodding she lovingly touches his maw with her nose.

[Chayton]

For a moment Chayton stands still, his nose touching Mist's. It didn't seem possible that this was all happeing. For a moment, he even forgot what he was going to show her, but the sweet fading warmth reminded him of the journey they were going to take. "I almost forgot what I was going to show you love." He laughs and departs from the soothing touch to carefully pull something out.

"It isn't much." He pulls out a small amount of bark with twigs and leaves. "When the pups come, they can lie on this and be protected from the hard ground." He lets out a sigh before he pads a little ways to seek out a nice spot to unite their souls.

As the sun sets Chayton looks to Mist, her coat shinning in the sunlight. She looks like a beautiful gift from heaven, but not a gift because no one owns her, only he holds the right to her heart. What a wonderful thing to hold indeed. "Beautiful."

He stands in silent awe, as he waits for her to join him. Their hiding spot is perfect, above the place where the pups will be born, such a wonderful life this mann leads.

"Mist, I love more than anything in the world. I know that you are going to be a wonderful mother, our pups will be so lucky"

[Mist]

Mist joins Chayton in laughing softly and nuzzles him before following the blue and white mann with growing curiosity. She too had forgotten that he has something for her, but now cannot help but greatly wonder what it could be that he would be showing her now. Watching him as he, with noticably great care, pulls out a soft, nest-like bundle of leaves and grass. Her heart gives a bound and she smiles. "Oh Chayton... love, you're wonderful. They will not remember it, but I always will, and I will know how much you love them... and me" Nuzzling him softly she thinks again how fortunate their cubs will be to have Chayton as their father.

Hearing his softly spoken word she tilts her head, wondering what exactly he was speaking of. The evening truly is beautiful. The distant sound of Deor's waterfall mixes with the soft, comforting sounds of the night. All the night creatures are starting to venture out of their daily hybernation, but there is something that keeps them at a distance from the two vargs. Perhaps it is fear of the putnar, but somehow Mist knows that the gods have smiled on the mates and are even now blessing this night together, keeping them from being disturbed.

At Chayton's words she smiles once more and nods softly. "I hope so, darling... Funny though, or not so funny, but I was just thinking the same thing about you." She shrugs slightly before continuing, thinking of past, present, and future all at once. "I don't remember my real parents, and I didn't have time to get close to my adopted father. Graht was Deor's Dragga, with Aztec, my adopted mother as Drappa. I thank Tor for her... she showed me what it was like to have a mother. I only hope that I can do as well as she would like me to... and I'm sure my real mother was wonderful. I would like to make them both proud..."

[Chayton]

Chayton smiles, though a small act, it would be gratefully appreciated. "It's nothing love, I just thought you don't need to be running around with a belly full of pups trying to get somethign for them to be born on." He grins


Chayton gives her a nuzzle before letting out a deep sigh. Life as he had known it, was changing. Not that he minded the changes that were eveloping his life. "You will make them more than proud Mist, you will be the best mother ."

With a smile he parts a another section of branches to reveal a nother secret place, this spot, the most important one. He slips inside and waits for her to follow. Together in this haven they will commerate their love. Two souls joining into one, an act of love.

Above the sky darkens and Tor opens her orb, the light shines above, illuminating the hidden area. Below the two vargs a tiny river runs through. The sounds of water lapping over rocks fills the night. Under the watchful eyes of the gods and the soothing sounds of the forest, the two vargs become one. Forever sealing their love. Up above a bird chirps, perhaps the one that has followed the lovers around, almost like a guardian.
