[Let us take flight]

[.J e n n a.]

Jenna,the half-breed wolf,raised her crimson muzzle to the rising moon and howled,a howl filled with pain and dread,with a tiny flicker of hope.The darkness pack was becoming stronger,soon the neutrals would be forced to join a pack or face death.The alphess couldn't let that happen.

She lowered her crown and sighed,sitting on her perch in the rocky outcrop,above the lands of the neutrals was uncomfatable,but she could bare with it.

You must go to the west,go to the east
The road is rocky and the way is far
It's a dangerous trail,a difficult quest.
If you want to know who you really are

There are voices all around you
To comfort and to guide you
Fathers and teachers,powerful creatures
And the voice that sides inside

For you can turn back around,run along home
Back to the place where your friends are,prehaps that is best
where you leave the rest.Who wants to go on a redicuilas quest
Unless you want to know,you truly want to know.
Unless you want to know,who you really are,

The words echoed around her as Jenna raised her muzzle to the moon,

Forgive me,my pack,I must leave

She whispered,before standing up,her pads made swift work of the land.Silently,she turned,and howled a goodbye,as she often did,before leaving the lands.Turning to the side that called so often to her.The side of a loner.

if i lie here,
if i just lie here,
would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Another loner, another wanderer, was out in that forest that night, his grey-brown fur highlighted by the silvery moon.
Harks flickered at the sound of the long, pained, yet daringly hopeful howl; he raised his muzzle to the skies, and whispered softly to the moon;

"Goodbye, Jenna."

Then he threw back his head and let out his own howl, a song stirred from the depths of time, powerful music that carried over the lands and was sure to hit the harks of the other Neutral wolves that wandered these lands.

He knew Jenna hadn't left from mere fear; he knew she wanted the best for her pack, and that if she succeeded, it would result in the downfall of the Darks and the freedom of all the wolves that treaded the line between the alliances.

That made him want to go with her, and witness their downfall through his own eyes; still, he knew that she would not take one as scrawny as him. He was only a part-wolf, a half-blood; he wasn't fit to be by the side of a full-wolf, a pure-blood.

As his song died slowly into the wind, he let his belly make contact with the turf below and laid his muzzle on his paws.

Have a safe journey, Jenna, and hurry back...

::i.don't.belong.here::

forget what we're told,
before we get too old,
would you lie with me and just forget the world?

OoC// Balto doesn't know that Jenna's a half-wolf too xD

[.J e n n a.]

The howl caught her thorns and Jenna froze for a moment in her running,throwing back her head she sent back a call,louder than a wolves call;husky.Her husky side was calling,calling to all loyal wolves,to stay where they were.Jenna didn't want them to die if she made a foolish mistake.

Oh Balto,I wish you could come with me,but I fear you'll die,and we need agile males in the fight

She whispered,to herself,her pads dug into the cold snow and she broke into a hastened trot,then a run.The snow was coming down thickly and it was almost impossible to see,lifting her coal nose to the air she sniffed.Balto was behind her,the light lands to the west,so the darkness pack was here.She froze and sniffed the air again,she sighed in relief and carried on running;It was just the wind blowing their scent down to the Neutral Lands.She lifted her pad slightly and winced,that last rock had cut into her pad and made her limp.She whined in aggitation and set about cleaning it quickly;she needed to finish the task before she returned home.

The darkness of night was losing the fight to daylight,Jenna yawned loudly and stretched,looking around she remembered the night before,the few hunters of the Darkness Pack were hunting and thought she had died.Her sides ached where their bites had torn the skin and her claws were ripped,teeth bloodied and muzzle drenched.If anything,she looked like the loner she was,for now.

Lifting her crown from her resting spot,she howled,a howl with much less fear and pain,more hope than anything else.She wanted her pack to know,she was closer to the dream.

OoC//I see xD Well then,Jenna shall show off her Husky half! XD

[. B a l t o .]

::balto::

Jenna's final howls caught in his harks again, one that signalled him to stay put, and one that was full of hope; at the last, he couldn't help but let a smile cross his black lips. He knew Jenna had been planning to battle the Darks since he could remember, and he also knew that she was close to acheiving her dream.

But, in spite of himself, he felt like someone had dropped a boulder into his stomach; he felt heavy, with dread? With anticipation? He didn't know, but his wolf side suddenly lurched and Balto lurched with it, taking the forest at his top speed, covering the ground faster than he even knew he could go. Startled birds flew up around him as he charged, and he told himself to keep running... keep running...

Keep running...

::don't.look.back::

OoC//Another lame post. Sorreh.

[.J e n n a.]

Jenna yelped as,once again,her limp paw caught the terrains rough ground.She snarled in spite of the pain and snapped up a small rabbit,the blood trickled down her chin and she grinned.

Death to the Dark Lord

She howled loudly,as loud as she was Alphess,the Neutrals would fall under the lights,or loners.A sharp grin made its way across her face and she broke into a lop-sided run,only a few paces forwards and she slipped,landing on her injured paw,making her cry out in pain and surprise.

She whimpered slightly,pulling herself up.The once little hope she had saved since she was a pup,was growing,and she couldn't wait.

Her fathers words eoched around her head,
You must travel to the west,where you shall face the Dark Lord,you must defeat this demon,to let everyone breathe without fear of being killed
If she failed,then her whole promise craved in,she would be killed.That was why she traveled alone,but she didn't really care.

Must move on,the Alpha would know,

She muttered to herself,she bade a final farewell to the lands she knew and sprinted off,the scent of the Darkness pack leading her.Like a guide.

OoC// I might made a flashback in the next post xDD,,like her and Balto when they were pups and her dreams xDD

[. B a l t o .]

OoC// That would be an awesome idea! <3 Dare you to use it xD

::balto::

Death to the Dark Lord, indeed.
He let this thought rebound backwards and forwards through his mind. No matter what it took, he would -

Stop, and pull himself together.

What would the Alphess say if she knew what he was doing? Why was he doing this in the first place?
Why did he have the urge to follow Jenna, to fight by her side and... dare he say it... protect her?

He had a pretty good idea of the Dark Lord, what he looked like, his personality, even the sound of his voice, for reasons he would rather keep to himself. Shaking away these thoughts, he made to turn back, but then heard her cry from somewhere ahead.

"Jenna!

Before he knew it, he was heading back towards her, his eyes narrowed and ears flat against the howling wind and snow. He would find her, he would help her.

He didn't know why he was so determined to do this for her, but he was determined none-the-less, and he wasn't going down without a fight.

[.J e n n a.]

Jenna grinned,her small,yet agile, frame pushing her over to the younger Balto,she would tell him that she was half-wolf.She grinned as he looked upfrom his spot,Balto She greeted him quietly and settled next to him,I was wondering if you had heard about my orgins? She whispered,she sighed as he shook his head,Oh,well it doesn't matter,I was only asking She chickened out that day.And the days after that,so many times she gave uup trying to tell him

Jenna groaned in pain as the snow bit against her pelt.Shadows flickered and made the trees whistle,everything was so gloomy.

Jenna

Balto!

She thought,her voice rose high into a howl,though the sound wouldn't travel very far with this weather.
Foolish
A voice whispered,Jenna swung her head round,hitting her muzzle on the ground.She froze as the throbbing pain dulled.Everything had gone wrong for her after her fathers death.

Jenna let her tears fall,the tears of pain and relief,her father was dead,no longer in pain.The last words echoed in her mind.You must travel to the west,where you shall face the Dark Lord,you must defeat this demon,to let everyone breathe without fear of being killed
Only an alpha could leave on missions like that,Jennas head shot up as the elders entered the cave.Miss Jenna,we are to inform you that you are the Alphess,They bowed and left her,I promise you father,I'll kill him,in order for my pack and the others to life in peace,even if it means my life

Jenna shook her head,the snow was doing things to her brain.All those memories she had left behind,they were flooding her mind,the snow stopped and Jenna shook her pelt.The blood red color surfacing.She looked more and more like a loner,her kissers parted for a blood-thirsty howl,one the pack knew to well;she was going for the kill.The main prize was going to die.
