For Kira and her Kiriana. Random title I know, it's from AFI's "Summer Shudder". Atra's such a lazy bum with always coming out of dens as an intro now. x]
atraiyu the time when our steps are retraced Gray clouds overhead began to disperse and break apart, revealing the endless blue skies behind their puffy barriers. The Mountain range was becoming to be light again, after the previous darkness that swept over the Valley earlier that day. That morning an isolated thunderstorm managed to roll into the area; hailing down massive amounts of rain, creating big lights in the sky to streak overhead in bright zigzagging patterns, and the roars of the heavens above to boom with amplified thunder. One would think that the heaves were reaching down to take hold of the earth, for one’s sights could see in the distance the heavy grayness of rain falling miles away from the Valley, only to be headed in the direction of Mount Shadow. Storms were pretty much unavoidable as far as it came with mountain territories, but one thing could definitely be avoided, and that was keeping dry in one of the lofty dens upon the Shadow territory. Waiting for the thunderstorm to move on, the Arctic Beta remained nestled and cozy in her den that was quite a ways up the peak. Not too high, but around the middle elevation. It was a random, nameless den that she frequently claimed as her “own”, even though everything here was in possession of every pack member, and every wolf had a right to something on the territory. Knowing that the forgotten Cypress had his own personal den with walls of glittering diamonds and rare earthly ores, Atraiyu figured she could at least have her “own” den too. Anyone was welcome in at anytime, and didn’t mind any visitors stopping by and saying greetings to her. Shaking her thin ivory coat, Decadence made ways out of her hiding place for the morning to view down at the lower elevation from what her brown eyes could see, and also at the grayish white horizon before her. Well, it seems as if the rain was fading away and clearing up. The humid, arid smell of dew hung heavy in the air, causing the alabaster wolfess to slightly breathe through her parted jaws for more air. Though Atraiyu had a good night’s sleep (and slept through rest of the morning), there was something wrong with her. Her stomach had suddenly become upset, and through the night she felt somewhat queasy and warm. Was it something I must’ve eaten? But I’ve been watching my diet. Her mind could not recall any “bad” prey she managed to get her teeth and jaws on, so this sudden feeling of queasiness was suspicious. Brushing it off, however, Atraiyu just thought of it as some little seasonal virus that came along. Yawning and stretching her tongue out from her jaws, Atraiyu’s agenda today would consist of simply wandering around the territory and sniffing out anything new and interesting. Everything lately had seemed pretty bland and same old, but perhaps the female would run into something curious today, even though she wasn’t in the mood for anything too shocking. With a snort, Atraiyu began her careful ways down a few elevations, seeking to patrol the lower levels of the Mount on this humid day in the Valley. ![]() cute atra avy created by orli (: <3 I'LL NEED A GUILLOTINE TO GET YOU OFF MY MIND | ||

I used to always forget the time of day when I type a post, so I always include the weather now just so I don't forget and it makes some sense to the thread. :p And yay for delusional Kiri, Atra's gonna have an interesting time with this one. xD
atraiyu the time when our steps are retraced Bland day. Gray skies (was clearing up slowly but surely, though). Same old, same old, same old. Either Atraiyu just felt really uninterested and zoned out from reality, or that she was sick of the fact of making the same rounds and finding nothing to turn up. And just how many times did Atraiyu remember passing this particular boulder on the way down, and noting that a specific bush, hanging for its dear life by its weeds on the edge of the Mount cliff, would still be clinging on to the earth on this day? Patrolling really wasn’t as hyped up as she thought it would be. Now the female could probably relate to Oni and the time where the Alpha had to be observing the Valley borders for newcomers. That must have been a real pain in the tail. A leader’s duty was a leader’s duty, however, and Decadence was in no mood to be chewed out by Dokuga if a simple duty slipped and caused disaster. The Arctic might be on good terms with the large female, but when it came down to business, one’s performance solely relied on that. Paws barely brought her pallid figure far enough until a scent wafted at the entrance of her wet nostrils, but the scent’s owner appeared before the Beta’s olfactory system could recognize who this particular wolf, or wolfess to be exact, was. Up ahead was a tawny like female coming up at a rather hasty pace. Atraiyu knew right then and there it was Kiriana, the Eta, the one who was punished severely with their last meet by their Alphaess. Cringing inwardly at the memory, her flesh crawled, as she thought about four fangs piercing the tender skin of her muzzle. Not a good image nor feeling, and could only imagine what the poor female felt on the inside when that happened. Not noting how fast she was actually coming toward her, Atraiyu’s tail behind her (drastically thin from fur loss of shedding) wagged at a mild speed, and the corners of her muzzle turned up in a small smile toward Kiriana. Their last meet probably left things just a tad bit awkward, but Atraiyu wanted to break the ice on that if any of those feelings were present. As Kiriana was now close, Atraiyu’s jaws opened to say something until her words were caught in her throat, as Kiri walked right past her. Utterly confused, Atraiyu’s vision remained forward for a second; tail ceasing its wagging and hanging limply. Blinking, her head then turned around, to where Kiriana went right into her little den that she claimed for the evening. Wait, what just happened here? The female found that strikingly odd for another to just bypass someone and head right into the den. An ivory wolven brow rose on its own accord, as her head was slanted to the side with a quizzical look upon her pale face. “And certainly a good early afternoon to yourself as well?” Atraiyu questioned with slight sarcasm dripping in her cool and collected voice. Dumbfounded, the Arctic stood there, just staring at Kiriana, who was in fact staring right back at her as if nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Okay, this was a strange meet-up. ![]() cute atra avy created by orli (: <3 I'LL NEED A GUILLOTINE TO GET YOU OFF MY MIND | ||

Posting at 1am is always fun when you're sleep deprived and on the brink of passing out right on your keyboard haha. Try attempting to post while you're buzzed, it's even better. Lol.
atraiyu the time when our steps are retraced What was to come from the Eta’s mouth next came as a mild shock. Giving her a very crazy sideways look, Atraiyu blinked a couple times before what Kiriana said fully registered in her mind. Wait… midnight? It’s not midnight outside... Following the Canadian wolfess’ gaze to the sky, she proceeded to look up at the clearing clouds. The clouds didn’t look black enough to be very dark or make the atmosphere dark, so just what in the hell was Kiri talking about? Auburn eyes searched through the skies, trying to find something that Decadence might have missed. Nothing. Bringing her eyes back out to the peering female inside the den, both wolven brows rose at her. “Uh, correct. I said good afternoon, for the fact that it is daytime and not midnight. What are you talking about?” She questioned, wondering why Kiriana would say such a thing. Either the poor wolfess was highly displaced or something strange was going on. There was something that Atraiyu could sense on Kiriana, but it was something she could not place. They said wolves have the sense to foretell coming storms and other occurrences with wolves and the land, and from what the ivory wolfess’ senses told her, something had to be definitely wrong. The next thing to follow from the female’s creamy jaws made Atraiyu’s ears double swivel in even more shock. Alpha? Atraiyu as the Alpha? Everyone knew Oni was the Alphaess, Atraiyu the Beta, and Shingle the Delta. The three femme leaders of the Mount. A crazy look was then given to Kiriana, as her ears slightly lowered against her head. “I beg your pardon? I’m the Beta, Kiri. Didn’t you know? I mean… with the confrontation at the borders with that trespasser that one time. Oni… the one who bit you… she’s the Alpha.” As much as Atraiyu didn’t want to bring up that scenario, it was the only one she could think of that could help the Eta remember who the real Alphaess was. Everyone knew that Atraiyu was the Beta of the pack, she was (beside Devon) the only other white wolf in Mount Shadow after all. But why would Kiriana not know this? She had been around here long enough, and plus all the members knew who the leaders were. Her head stooped down a little, giving the Canadian female a sideways look. “Kiriana… are you... alright?” She finally questioned, wondering just what in the world was going on with her. Perhaps she might have woke up on the wrong side of the den this morning, or ate a really bad meal that altered her mind? ![]() cute atra avy created by orli (: <3 I'LL NEED A GUILLOTINE TO GET YOU OFF MY MIND | ||

You play the flute too? I love the flute! I've been playing ever since 6th grade in middle school, I was second chair in my band class. Everybody thinks i'm such a dork for playing it, but I
it. Do you know how to play "Yankee Doodle" really fast? xD
atraiyu the time when our steps are retraced The more this scenario carried out, the more and more Atraiyu began to think something had to be seriously wrong. Last time on meeting Kiriana, she was perfectly sane and her bearings were straight. Now, she didn’t know what to make of this. At the mention of what was on the menu for this afternoon in regards to food, Decadence gave her another crazed look, and at the same time her own stomach burbled and growled. For some reason, the slight growl was unpleasant, which was strange, but Atraiyu brushed off that uncomfortable feeling. This was more important. Looking around at their surroundings, the Beta tried to figure out what to say. “Uh… well up here, you’ve got a choice of goats, bighorn, and selection of rabbits?” Two white, bony mountains rose from her figure in a shrug. If Kiriana was asking Atraiyu to catch something for her, however, then the Beta would find that a bit suspicious. Not that she wouldn’t have a problem doing that, Atraiyu loved to hunt just as much as the next wolf, but Kiriana seemed like she was in perfect shape and capable of doing it herself. Was she sure she wasn’t the Alpha? The ivory female looked around. Of course she wasn’t, unless Oni somehow disappeared and Atraiyu was unknowingly left to take the reigns of Mount Shadow, but figured that was highly not likely. Oni wouldn’t abandon the pack territory just like that. Then again, Cypress left without a word. Coming back to the odd situation at paw, white lobes caught Kiriana’s talk about five puppies. Five puppies!? Since when did this happen, and how come Atraiyu didn’t know!? Uh-oh, perhaps she wasn’t doing her pack duty. Shaking her head from side to side, she tried to make sense of all this. “Wait wait… you have five puppies? Since when?” She questioned in a started tone. Watching as the Canadian wolfess stumbled out of the den, Atraiyu began thinking that the five puppies didn’t exist at all. There was something wrong. Her nose could smell it. Taking a few cautious steps forward, the Arctic stood nearly nose to nose in front of Kiriana. “Kiriana, are you alright? Something’s wrong with you. You’re acting… strange.” Brown eyes searched the other female’s gaze for any signs of a glossy tint to them. Was it just Kiriana got hit with a very large rock from a landslide somewhere, or (and Atraiyu feared the worst for this) she perhaps caught a nasty virus that altered with her mind? Those were the only two things she could think of, and now she was intent on figuring this all out for Kiriana’s sake. ![]() cute atra avy created by orli (: <3 I'LL NEED A GUILLOTINE TO GET YOU OFF MY MIND | ||

I apologize that this took extremely long to post. xx; I've been immensely occupied with outside things the past couple of weeks, and ontop of that i've just started my second job, so it hasn't been giving me any leeway for internet time. Don't worry, I haven't forgot about this even when it's not listed in my post log (which i'm going to update as well)! But yeah, my flute is pretty rank, I haven't cleaned it in ages, and it still works like a charm (when I use it, whenever that is, however) xD
atraiyu the time when our steps are retraced Was Atraiyu up for a hunt? Certainly, there was never an opportunity where the female wouldn’t pass up a hunting session with a pack member, but unfortunately Atraiyu just had to pass up this one and save it for another time. She wouldn’t mind hunting for Kiriana at all, but the Arctic’s attention had drifted into something else entirely. No, this wasn’t Kiriana. Atraiyu could sense it. A smirk would’ve appeared at the corner of her maw at Kiri’s mention of “great white” as a fitting nickname for the Beta of the Mount, but at this moment the leathery line on her muzzle was almost frowning. Shaking her head back and forth, Atraiyu didn’t move her spot. “Thanks, but… no thanks. Not now, Kiriana. Not with the way you’re acting.” Chocolate eyes kept a curious glance on the creamy femme. “Something’s wrong with you. There’s a little… I would say… trait about you that’s off.” She said, taking some time to figure the correct words to say, and wasted no time getting to the point of things, bringing it up to her attention immediately; all the meanwhile searching the hunter’s figure for strange markings of any sort. “Do you have a fever? Did you eat something untactful?” Immediately she fired questions at her, wanting to get to the bottom of this, for Atraiyu knew this would forever eat away at her curious gut and she wanted to know just what in the world was going on. The more and more Kiriana spoke about her imaginary puppies, the more and more she became concerned rather than gawking at her like a crazed wolf gone mad with rabies. Which, in fact, did sort of weird her out a little. Arctic wolves were no exception to the foreign diseases found in other habitats; she came to learn that quickly. Some diseases, believe it or not, existed in the tundra as well but were rare cases. Could it be that Kiriana harbored one of those strange diseases from here? It was quick to jump to that conclusion, but it was a chewing thought of hers in the back of her mind. Shaking her head to herself, Atraiyu thought that it had to be another reason, or else the female would be foaming at the mouth. “Kiriana… uh… where are your pups, exactly?” She questioned, curious to get some information out of her. “From what I know, or what has been reported by the leaders… there’s no record of you giving birth to any sort of litter. We, the leaders, would certainly be aware of this. Unless… you’ve had them without notifying the rest of the pack?” The birth of new wolves was certainly a joyous occasion for all wolves, and everyone knew that wolves were crazy over newborns. Why, then, would Kiriana hide her birthing? Didn’t she want to share her joy with the rest of the Mount too? ![]() cute atra avy created by orli (: <3 I'LL NEED A GUILLOTINE TO GET YOU OFF MY MIND | ||

I like that table you have there, Kira. :) I'm having fun playing catch up with all my threads. I swear, i'm too much of a busy person nowadays. -_-;
atraiyu the time when our steps are retraced “Oh yes there is.” The Arctic female instantly retorted back without a pause. When Atraiyu had a hunch about something (and when there was perfect evidence to support her assumption), she was not going to let this one slide. Kiriana was acting too strange for her own good. Keeping her chocolate gaze focused intently on the creamy she-wolf, her tail flicked as she began to note all the characteristics of a not so good looking wolfess. The female before her was no doubt beautiful for her species and age, but right now (according to what Atraiyu saw) she wasn’t in her best light. “Kiriana, your face looks deathly pale to me. Have you looked at your reflection lately in the Cascades or in the lake? You don’t…. look very good at all.” Her head shook back and forth with her words. Decadence would not give into her cheesy grin or her sudden burst of high spirit, not after the following words that came from the Canadian she-wolf. “Are you listening to the words coming from your jaws? You are speaking quite strangely. There are no houses here. I don’t know what a house is, but they sure do not exist in the Valley.” Not knowing what the word house meant, Atraiyu probably figured it was something that had to do with the humans, but would ask questions about that at another time. Peering closer at her, Atra’s mind drifted to Kiriana’s mate, Element. Personally, she was not sure how the two got along in their mate ship, but Atraiyu briefly wondered where he was at during this time with Kiri acting weird. “Do you mind if I ask you where Element might be? He’s your mate.” She added at the end, wondering if she would get some wacky answer from Kiriana after asking that. Ears were kept high and alert, listening to every word that managed to fall from her wolven lips. No matter what, the Beta wanted to get down to the bottom of all this. Something was definitely not right. Not only was it her hunch, but that strange “sixth sense” that canines have also detected something was awry. Hearing her say her “puppies” were in a tree somewhere, it made her auburn hued vision take a moment to look down at Lilac Valley below and its numerous growth of trees, before brushing that statement aside entirely. The words that did make sense to her, however, was that Kiriana was hungry. Perhaps she wasn’t just talking silly about that, and maybe it was just the she-wolf’s hunger that was getting to her. “Well, if you’re really that hungry, then I suppose we’ll go hunting then. But let me ask you this. The last time you hunted, what did you eat?” She questioned, wondering if what she last ate was possibly something that was decaying or just wasn’t in season. ![]() cute atra avy created by orli (: <3 I'LL NEED A GUILLOTINE TO GET YOU OFF MY MIND | ||

Sure. I would continue on with more, but unfortunately my inspiration has been slain, and plus I don’t want to keep you waiting from my scarcity either.
atraiyu the time when our steps are retraced For the first time out of their whole conversation while meeting up, her first statement sounded like it had a somewhat sane quality to it. Or as far as Atraiyu could interpret; perhaps she might have been wrong about that. Giving her a quiet once over with her cocoa hued eyes, a quick nod adorned her snow capped skull. “This morning eh? Care to go look at yourself again? I’m not saying this all in the wrong way Kiriana, but you just don’t look like your normal self. Please believe me when I say this. Something is wrong, you don‘t look well.” Was there slight pleading in Atraiyu’s naturally cool and collected voice? It indeed was. Atraiyu was a tolerant and patient wolfess, but there was only so much she could take from doing things that only led the situation around in circles before she would get frustrated enough. The Beta was insistent on getting this through the female’s head. Maybe a trip back to the Cascades, or any other watery surface, would show Kiriana that Decadence was not a crazy Arctic wolf just making up things for the hell of it. A sigh emitted from her muzzle, as the wolfess’ talk about sorcery came to her white tipped ears. She was just going to disregard all of that, because it was nothing that made sense anyway. If only Kiriana was the storyteller of the pack. Boy, would she have some interesting tall tales to tell the pups… There was some shard of hope that shined through, however. At least Kiriana was able to recall who her mate was. That was a good sign. Giving a swish of her tail, she looked around a bit before looking back to Kiriana. “Good! At least you remember Element! Perhaps we should go find him, and maybe he will say the same as I am saying about you.” It was a good plan to Atraiyu. Who better than her own mate, and hopefully with the words of Element, it could somehow move Kiri into thinking some was really wrong with her. The mention of a rabbit was soon brought up, and Atraiyu’s ears twitched idly upon her head. “Hmm. Do you recall what kind of rabbit it was? Or how easy it was to catch it, if you did catch it?” She questioned. When it came to prey and hunting, Atraiyu was a master in her own field, so if Kiriana provided some straight answers, the Arctic could probably get down to the bottom of things once and for all.
