| In the world of Antichthon Dragons fly, and unicorns prance. It's a world of magic, fluid and vast. Counter Earth, So similar to our own...but not. Here man is uncommon and dwell together in small settlements. Here, elves, dinosaurs and myth are real, commonplace! In Antichthon, Animals talk, think, and learn together. It's no surprise, but do expect the unexpected. As mankind does on Earth, it does in the counter Earth. Animals fall to weapons of various kinds, any quadruped must be wary. Come down to a cove, not quite a Valley, at the base of the mountains. Rich and green, untainted, but for a settlement of about 50 humanoids whom live further south. A forest fire caught near them, which pushed them away, but drove out much of the larger game. Small game is abundant though, in this virgin forest, riddled with clearings. This beautiful shallow Valley is about 150 miles across. cutting a track across the western side, close to the mountains is a large river, which runs to the base like a giant tear, collecting at the base of the mountains to a lake, shining a blue wonder. The hills at the base of the mountain are large, and before the land settled itself volcanic activity caused many natural caverns to form, some of which are interconnected by tunnels. There are three tunnels that lead out away from the main collection, one only small animals, perhaps the size of a fox could get through, and another is blocked by rock fall. It leads under the river. The last, large enough for two wolves atop one another to walk, leads out to a rock formation in middle land, marked by a clearing and a young cherry tree, not yet baring fruit. The rest, not large hills, but not plains, is rolling forest covered hill. Oak, walnut, Hickory, and Maple are the main trees found there. Pine, poplar and Cherry woods intermingle, but are not as present. Where the Fire had consumed new Birch, Beech and Pines are springing up. The young trees are no more than 2 feet high right now. Ground Cover is still struggling to come up. Common ground and fruit bearing plants are wild strawberries, Queen Ann's Lace root, cattail tubers at the edges of the lake, Huckleberries in the high hills, black and raspberry, Young tart cherries and small sweet apples, a random small grove of apricot trees from birds eating fruit. This is the land Cross Roads has come to populate! Crossroads land was not always populated by wolves however. It was full of cougar, bobcat, bear, moose and game. A few wolves who had no home banded together and in their strength and will they chased away many large predators. Together they came, and though each was from another land, another life, another rule...they became one. Each of the wolves, but ten all told, expressed their tales. Two young pairs searching for a home. One young female saw how they were, and how they worked together. She confided to her mate what she believed and he addressed the older ones. "From across each track of land we've come here. From many different paths we've trod, but here together we now stand. We should call ourselves Cross Roads, and take in any, like ourselves. Everyone deserves chance, peace, and friendly faces to call home." A few older ones were not sure, and stated that there would be those who turned away, or found them fools. The younger were not disheartened, and said that each must choose how they will stride. None of the elders of that groups, which there were three of them, between the ages of 7-9 wished to rule this new land, because much still needed done to take it as their territory. The young pair who suggested it, rose to the challenge and took the older mated pair as Betas. The last young couple became Gamas. The last four were members of the pack, as they chose to be. They knew that the age old pack, across the River, would not like them there as a clan. Slowly, the young pack built it's empire and grew. A few other wolves, loners all joined the growing pack. Their Rivals did resent them, in heir newness, their naive nature, their open kindness. Sure it would break them down before long. They were strong, generations strong and valued knowledge of war and land. They would send splinters to heckle Cross Roads, but as the new pack grew the attacks became less and less. Now, as the old Alphas drew to twilight years, and were soon to pass a youth who had joined them near the beginning, named Tris, stepped into the role of Alpha Female. Together, with her Mate, Cross roads will grow and flourish, even with dangers that lurk, and enemies threaten. With the fire having chased away large game, the pack hunting together, thus some community time, was lost. This must be made up, for the pack to stay as one. Tris bows to you, bottle green eyes closing "Welcome friend! I hope you will find safety with our family, we can be odd, we have our faults, but we are one." |

Quote Akil: Solstice tiled her head and lowered her ears in an annoyed manner. " Kill you? You are very over dramatic aren't you? Comfrey soothes the wound and enacts the regenerative process in your cells.. Sooooooo in short they help the wound heal up, which would be the opposite of killing off the cells.." She said with a kind of sarcastic tone. She gave a slight smile before looking at Nero. Solstice didn't normally act out like that, but She absolutely cannot stand people that are over dramatic or hypocrites. She looked to Nero to see his reaction before facing the three strange wolves once more. |

Nero caught the sarcasm thinly veiled in her tone, was there annoyance there? that was not common for Solstice, addle as she tended to act, relaxed really is what it was. "Solstice has no cause to kill strangers, and in this instance nor do I." He comes closer to Solstice, and gives her a bigger smile, letting her know he agreed with her words and attitude towards the more overbearing female. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kizzy takes the information with a grain of salt, but does not move, instead she takes to having an acid tongue and replies with bitter words "It would be temporary, my thanks there but long term healing will elude me." |

Quote Sully: Cortland had checked out for a moments time, since he was kind of out of the loop he yawned and hoisted his rump in the air to stretch as he kept an eye on Nero and Solstice as a very dramatic Kizzy yowled and dug herself into a hole she did not wish to be in. "Excuse Kizzy, she's a bit neurotic these days." he said, giving Kizzy the 'shut the fuck up before they kill you' look. Now, he's sure that they would not do such a thing because he just got double the ass that they both have had in a while, he assumed. Cortland grinned a bit as his tail wagged as he looked from Kizzy to Zevi as he'd hoped Kizzy would behave from now on. ---- Zevi nodded at Cortland as he shushed their mate, as she motioned for the little cinnamon maned wolf to come and sit with her so she could nurse her female and perhaps pregnant mate to full health again. Her tail wagged, awaiting her arrival since she had made such a big deal about her paw and then speaking of them killing her. It was surely time for her to be shushed, and pre-occupied. |

Contrary to being soothed the Russian Wolf, thick of body, mad of mind bares her teeth with her words, directed to Cortland and his wagging tail "Don't presume you can make excuses for me, I am well aware of myself, more than you are of me." Her society and family is/was female run, not male, and she'll not stand his insolent assumptions of control. Males, all the same in the end. Inadvertently, she took this anger of illusion of being ganged up upon, on Zevi too. She had done no harm to the lost cinnamon-blond fem, but it was not to be helped. She scooted away from them both, making her own space, which she licked her paw and eyed them all, once in a while showing her teeth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nero lifed his lips, thinking that Kizzy may be a danger now, but it became clear she was sulking, and felt ganged up upon. He said nothing, but deciding (though it may not be the best time for such acts) to be kind. He picked some of the comfrey, and lay it near the bristled female. She was larger than he was, and that was somewhat intimidating up close, since she gave off such an odd smell and behavior. He backed away, back to Solstice, having said nothing more than a hushed 'here.' For his kindness, though first thinking thinking it was another attack on her in some new way, his offering had been accepted. |

Quote Sully: Cortland gave a groan when Kizzy decided to have her tantrum and pad away. He was not afraid of this female, nor would he mind if she decided to take her small mistress and vanish. He was used to being alone but since the cinnamon female had a glow to her, showing early signs of pregnancy he decided to lay low and let nature take it's course with her. He'd never dealt with such a strange female before, nor did he really care to. Yes, Cortland was a genuine and caring wolf... but enough is enough sometimes. ---- Zevi gasped and became overwhelmed rather quickly as Kizzy stormed off. She felt her face getting hot, as embarrassment kicked in over the whole thing. She mouthed a sorry to the others so Kizzy could not see and followed quickly as Nero gifted her with something. "Kiz..." she whispered as she neared, her eyes set upon her unsettled mate as she approached with her tail between her hind quarters. She knew she did nothing wrong, but she knew more of Kizzy than others so she acted as though she had made the world crumble. "If there's anything I can do..." her tone was soft and forgiving... only if Kizzy knew that. |
