She Who Walks Alone

[vanillahoneyy]

A lone wolf wanders through the trees of the golden forest the Autumn leaves crunching gently under its paws. Rays of sunlight filter through the trees to shine on the wolfs coat. The wolf continues on its way through the forest somewhat uncertainly as if it was new to this area. After awhile it comes to a small stream, here it bends down and takes a drink of water before carrying onwards. The wolf reached a large clearing, it walked through the trees and into the center of the clearing. Here it raised its head towards the sky and let out a long lonely howl as if to summon any other wolves in the area.
This wolf is a small black she-wolf with white wings and strange red markings on her legs. She goes by the name Astra.

Astra continued to howl for another few seconds until she was sure every wolf in the forest must have heard her. She sat down where she was in the middle to the clearing to wait and see if anyone would answer her cry, maybe a few wolves would even come to the clearing. She had only just come to the forest so she didn't know if a pack lived in it but she hoped not because if there was she probably would get in trouble for trespassing onto their territory. She pricked her ears and waited to hear a sound maybe a howl back or a wolf to come approaching the clearing.

After waiting for a while she sighed maybe no one at all planned on replying to her howl. She lay down resting her head between her paws sadly but then suddenly she raised her head again ears pricked forward could that be a wolf that she just heard or was she imagining it? She scrambled back up to a sitting position and looked around alertly was there really a wolf coming....?

[bg=04ce63][atrb=border,0,table][atrb=width,399,table] The warm sun beat against her back and through her thick coat as it traveled across the sky. Her back was still covered with a thick winter coat, back from the years of her long winter days back home. Her pelt's caramel-brown merged with that of the leaves of fall. Her pawsteps were muffled against the heavily-padded forest floor as she made her way through the trees. Her ears tilted at a crow flew from the trees in the grove down the hill. The sound hit her ears of another wolf, female, that was currently in the vacinity. She cursed herself silently. Why didn't you realize she was here before? She chastised herself, You should have broadened to include minds at a further range. You have the ability; use it. Her grandfather's inflection still clearly rang inside her mind, giving her advice and the occasional slap over the head that was necessary to the continuation of her studies. She set her shoulders to the direction of the howl and lashed her mind out in the direction of the stranger. After probing her mind, she didn't realize much. The stranger meant no ill to her, and she wasn't member of any nearby pack. Strangely enough, Kenai could not divulge the stranger's true purpose of the howl. She just... did it. On a whim, Kenai shot back a mental-howl, to ring through the head of the receiver and translate as a sign of friendship. Which, many commented, meant on many levels, 'I come in peace.' Which she did, no false diplomacy. And that was kinda her policy. Think it, mean it. Of course, there was the occasional exception. But, there are always exceptions.

OOC: For the curious, Kenai makes this appearance during her journey to Cascadia. Also, if you have absolutely no idea why Kenai is shooting thoughts at Astra instead of saying them, click the picture above the post. It should link you to her profile, would should explain discreetly.

(Excuse the late reply I've been busy but I will edit this post and finish the post just have time to start it now)

Just as she was about to give up Astra heard a howl, well not really heard she heard it in her mind. First she thought she was imagining it but it sounded so real and she knew many wolves had special powers like she did so it had to be a wolf who had a power. The howl sounded friendly so Astra gave a short friendly bark in reply and waited for the wolf to show itself to her. She got to her feet and scanned the area trying to spot the wolf who had howled. Since the howl was in her mind she couldnt tell from which direction it was coming so she just waited.
