Alone in Peace

[crystlia]

It was quiet in the meadow yet again as the area ws blanketed with darkness as the lands along with the animals began to take their rest, that would be every animal except or one very peculiar wolf who was near a small stream that always went around the hills like a long snake as it would travel off to the other parts of the land.

This wolf named Ferison always loved to come around her at night though he never really did know why exactly, it was a possible that it was because that he was born on these lands at night, or it was possibly something more. He layed there by the stream-side as he would take tiny sips of the refreshing water that always came down as he began to look up into the sky.

Why is it that I am the one that has to be so diffrent? Why couldn't I just be normal like everyone else? He then layed his head on his paws as he let out a small radiation of heat around him to keep warm as the cool winds swept through the lands darkened by the night sky.

Neutral green eyes scanned the seemingly deserted meadow from the shade of the trees. Shiva was at the border from the protection of the forests around to the clear stretch of grasses. She nervously shuffled her paws, the trees behind her whispering softly. It had been a while since she had been in this part of the land before. Though strange, it was beautiful non the less so without hesitation she took a few steps forward, feeling the long wild grass brush against her underbelly. Under the moonlight, she paced on quietly like a shadow, the indents in the grass that her paw prints made moments ago gently swaying back into its original position so that it kept the peaceful look of being untouched. A cool breeze swept over her and she enjoyed the feeling of being tickled by the grass. But it said something else. From where she was, she couldn't see another but the grass told her differently. Their voices weren't as loud as the trees but they were still heard in the silence of the night.

A tense shiver rolled down Shiva's spine and her hackles raised defensively. She wished that she could ct more relaxed around others but it had been so long since she had been in the company of another wolf. Her creme and black body leaned forward cautiously but there was an air of curiosity about her. The mysterious she wolf headed in the direction of where this other was though she couldn't be sure. She slinked away in the night, silent and devious, her head tilted to the side. Ah yes... there was a stream near by, she remembered from her last visit a while ago. It was a shame that she had never been as good with water as she was with the plants... the clear serenity of the liquid did intrigue her.

A dark form was beside the trickling stream, laying down, maybe even asleep. Not wishing to draw too much attention to herself, she inched closer to the stream, green eyes fixed on the other wolf's form. She soon came to the edge of the river, a good several feet away from the other wolf and a small silent sigh escaped her maw. Deciding not to disturb him, she turned back to the water and lowered her head, gently lapping up the water. The grass whistled but they told of no danger. But she didn't know the grasses very well, she couldn't be sure.

[crystlia]

Ferison just layed there on the long grass by the small stream as old memories that he charished for a long time now began to come into his mind as he tried to make himself go to sleep and rest his tired body for the next day, though strangely he couldn't get the feeling off of him that he was being watched by someone or something else around the area. He slowly opened his eyes to see the areas to the left and the right side of him and didn't exactly see anyone around which made him a little annoyed. Ugh, what's wrong with you? there isn't anyone even here stupid! Just calm yourself down.

He began to close his eyes again to possibly this time get some good rest, but he still couldn't get that feeling off of him that somebody was nearby and just quietly growled to himself in frustration, why couldn't he get that bloddy feeling out of him and get some sleep? He then looked up yet again but this time raising his head as her looked around, then to his side he saw the other wolf or at least its body formation not too away from him. He almost instantly stood up with his ears pinned flat on the back of his head as he wan't exactly too sure of what this other mysterious wolf may do as either wolves ran away from him or just began to viciously attack him for reasons he knew of a little too much. He just stood there waiting for the shadowy wolf to do their actions, he was ready for it.

::Shiva::

Dark ears pricked slightly as her gaze slowly turned onto the figure. For a while there was silence and an eerie tension in the air and Shiva twitched her tail irritably in the cold air. Suddenly the lying figure had jumped up and immediately she reacted. The suddenness of it all had also made her jump back wards, fur on end. For a moment she bared her teeth in the dark, eyes fading into a dark panicked green but after a moment of nothing she realized, that the other wolf seemed to be just as wary and cautious as she was. Shiva lowered her defenses thingying her brow a little.

"Hello?" She said timidly, her body still tense but her tone changing eyes steadily returning to their usual bright green colour. She knew that both of them had expected some kind of attack but for the moment, the air had once again become tense. The only sounds were the stream and the grass as she breathed heavily, chest rising and falling under her thick fur. There was nothing to worry about, but Shiva couldn't help but get a strange feeling about the male. Maybe he had powers too? She didn't quite know, she'd just have to find out... but coming out with stuff wasn't her strong point. She took another deep breath before taking a small step forward into her original position. "Uh..." She said under her breath, her voice soft and as nonthreatening as she could make it.

"I don't want any trouble" She said finally, her creme patterned tail flicking behind her. The she-wolf attempted a friendly smile before realizing that the other wolf probably wouldn't be able to see anyway.

[crystlia]

Ferison just kept a steady eye on the other wolf despite not being able to see who it actually was, but even if he did there would be a high chance he would keep his position cause you couldn't be too sure who was your ally or your enemy. However hearing the soft femine voice telling him that this other, possibly a she-wolf, didn't want any trouble from him. Ferison began to calm down some more knowing the other wolf wasn't here to to hurt or even kill him.

Then all of his nervosness had turned into curiosity as his ears became straight and pointed like usual though his head had turned to the side a little bit as he began to wonder who this could possibly be if they decided not to run or fight from him, on the other hand it was possible that they couldn't see his complection. "Well uhh..." For a moment there he couldn't think of anything to say, but he knew that he had to show that he trusted this other wolf. "You may come towards me if what you say is true." He told her though he was a bit nervous still as he didn't know what the other one may do.

::Shiva::

The elegant she wolf tilted her head to the side, her breath slowly rising in the night air. Things were starting to calm down and as she heard his voice she knew that it was a male that stood before, perhaps just as nervous as she had been. Her front paws shuffled nervously at his request. Shiva took a couple of steps forward towards the male as the moon peeked out a little more from the grey clouds. Her body language was relaxed for now, brows raised in curiousity.

As she got closer she felt as though the male was giving off his own warmth which differed from her own body heat. She ignored it, her tail swaying behind her. "I'm Shiva..." She spoke after a small silence, deciding it would be polite of her to at least introduce herself. Again, she was unsure of what to say; she had never been great with making small talk. Half her mind wished to be back at her den, surrounded by the forest but the other half wanted to know more about the strange male.

Shiva cleared her throat, toes drumming against the ground, small flowers sprouting from where her paws were placed, twisting among the grass and dancing around her toes. They didn't fear the male, she didn't see why she would. "So... what brings you to the meadow on this cold winters night?" She asked, not really sure whether it was her business to ask in the first place. At least she was saying something.

[crystlia]

When saw the she wolf come up to him though stayed back at a safer distance and saw that she was showing no traces of offence behavior and only gentle and relaxed body body languages making him feel quite calm though he was still nervous and yet curious about the female. Soon enough she had deicded to tell out her name to him Shiva? Hmm... He nodded his head to her and went to tell her his name, it was only fair after all.

"Name's Ferison." He told her calmly as his voice was very soothing at the tone as he tried not to show any hint of nervousness to Shiva beside him as his warmth radiated the small area around him making the snow that was around the area melt away and joined the stream off with its journey downwards. Sometimes he wished he could be just like that snow, turned free from its icy state like him being free from being feared and attacked and then joining at least one other and going off to he didn't care where, as long as he felt that he was loved and cared for by someone else.

He then turned his hed to look at the shewolf again when she made small talk about why he was here and a small chuckle escped his maw s he went ahead and told her. Honestly? I don't know really, I just come out here at night to at least feel that I am not alone. Then he looked down at the stream as he let a out a tiny sigh before he began to talk again. But Im a Loner, I have no friends and family with me. and I may never have a mate and pups to care about... and all because of my stupid, pathetic looks and powers..." his last sentence he said angerly as he made a glare at the water which made his eyes turn a bright yellow as the it made the water bubble and steam as the heat concentrated onto it making large puffs come up until he relaxed his eyes that showed the shimmering ember ones as his ears dropped to his sides, he knew he said some things he probably shouldn't have said just then.

[Anika]

::Shiva::

Shiva was glad that the male took no offense from her... in fact, it was just like talking to a friend... well, a friend that she didn't know very well. She sighed to herself, paws shuffling again in the grass and snow and frost. She noticed that there wasn't any snow around the male who introduced his name as Ferison. She found it quite strange but decided not to say anything for now. Things would eventually explain themselves.

The black and creme she-wolf listened to his answer and a small feminine chuckle escaped her maw. She didn't really know why she was here either... it was a strange meadow, not her usual comfort zone. But as Ferison talked on, Shiva leaned forward sympathetically. Powers? That might explain things. She watched with curiosity as well as caution as the male turned and made the water bubble and boil in the pale light of the moon.

Again she gave another chuckle, her gaze turning to the dark form of the male. "Well, I see nothing wrong with your looks... but then again I can barely see anything" She smiled, fur bristling a little. And since then male was being open, she didn't see why she should hide anything.

"- and as for powers" She started again, green eyes sparkling with friendliness, "you're not alone there. I'm also a loner... though I prefer the surroundings of the forest." spoke Shiva, letting the flowers that toyed at the height of her ankles grow pass that, weaving up her legs and blossoming into large white flowers that let off the most calming of scents. After a moment of enjoying the fragrance she let the flowers shrink back into the earth. "You shouldn't put yourself down because of them... " She said with empathy, knowing that it was hard to live with powers. But she managed to get on with hers just fine yet the male seemed to have a different attitude.

[crystlia]

Ferison was actually glad that this female didn't run off when he made the water boil, some others that he knew would run off not knowing what was happening at all or that they thought he was some sort of demon. Most others thought of him as that with the mere look of him, and he was worried since Shiva wasn't really able to see him in the dark that she may want to run away from him as well. But he so dearly wanted a friend with him at least, it was probabley best that he should tell her of his complection so that she would be so shocked when she saw him.

"Theirs noting exactly to see of my complection Shiva." He told her as he looked down at the stream and silently sighed to himself before looking back at the female again to tell her of his looks. "My colours are a coal-black at the top and bottem with the sides are a blood and fire red with a horrible scar and a chipped ear to resemble my awful past..." After that he made a small chuckle come out of his maw as he made it sound like his looks were an awful thing, though he wasn't too happy of them exactly.

That was when he saw something unusual happening, large flowers started to grow rapidly and in the winter time too! This made the male tilt his head in confusion as the flowers bursted open and let out a calming scent which soothed him a little making him a bit more relaxed, though soon enough the flowers began to shrink back into the earth again as they went into their slumber until Spring came again where they would awaken again and grow back, but that wasn't for a long time yet. "You contol the plants."

It wasn't a question but a mere answer seeing that the plants were growing around her and her saying that she had powers as well. "My power is fire." He told her as me made his body radiate more heat which began spreading a bit more making the area around him lmost feel like it was the Summer time already, though it was much farther away than Spring was.

[Anika]

::Shiva::

Shiva gave a small unconvinced smile as the male described himself. He didn't seem too bad, she really didn't know what the fuss was about. A small sigh escaped her maw. "Nobody can help what they look like" She spoke softly into the calm air, her tail wrapping around her back leg a little. "Anyway... looks aren't anything" She said absent mindedly in a mystic voice, eyes trailing up into the clear sky. "I think personality matters more than anything" Said Shiva with a smile. This was true, she never cared much for looks. Even the ugliest weed had its own unique voice that she would always listen to.

Her eyes flickered back the males form as he seemed to have noticed the flowers that had sprouted from beneath her paws. She nodded at his observational statement. "Yes" She stated rather vague tone. "They can grow any way I want them to..." She said, a rare look of overwhelming power and control in her bright green eyes. "To grow... or to whither" She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, knowing that it was this attitude that would put a danger to others. Tis was why she never had a pack... this was why she never wanted one. She snapped back into reality, a faint smile on her maw and a dazed look on her face. "I can also hear them speak" She added, flicking her tail away from her leg.

She turned her attention back to Ferison. He could control fire eh? This made her very curious but also very nervous. She didn't show it though and kept her body calm but inside Shiva had a deep concern around fire. The plants hated it. She could hear them scream when it touched them and slowly devoured them leaving a small pile of ash where a flower would have been. After slipping into her own little world for a while she lifted her head and surveyed the male. "What can you do with it?" asked the black and creme female, eyes flashing in the pale light.

[crystlia]

A smile soon begn to creep up Ferison's maw when he heard from Shiva say that it didn't matter what he looked on the outside and that personality is what mattered, he was really starting to enjoying this female a lot now as she was much more than he would expect anyone to be. Maybe I should just talk to others in the dark now. He made a soft chuckle when he thought of that suggestion though he looked back at shiva again when she was talking about her powers and took a bit of intrest into it. Making flowers grow and whither at command that would be an interesting ability to have.

Then the female asked about his powers and shrugged, they weren't a lot actually though they were something to talk about. meh, might as well tell her seeing as see trust me and I trust her back. He then began expanding the field of his heat radiation to Shiva seeing as Winter nights were always so cold and paw-numbing and wanted to make sure that she was comfortable and didn't have to leave. Well, one of them you are most likely feeling is that I can make myself, an area, or someone near me warm while the rest of the land stays its same temprature.

He then turned his head and looked at a patch of snow as he glared at it making his yes shine a firey-yellow colour and the snow began to melt away and the brown grass was revealed underneath, then he looked backed at the female again to tell of his second power. I can also do a weired thing with my eyes, when I ever glare my eyes glow and it can melt anf burn stuff. But I never dare try to hurt anyone with it unless I must He last sentence was told very boldly and stern to show he was very serious about it, he would never let his powers be used for evil purposes in his life and would make sure of that as well.

[Anika]

::Shiva::

Shiva licked her chops slightly, watching the male with curious eyes. A warmth slowly crept along her body making her fur stand on end. She soon realized that it was coming from the male. The warmth was far from unpleasant and it made a nice change from standing out in the cold. She gave a small soft chuckle and nodded as he explained that this was one of his powers. It seemed like quite a useful one... especially in times like this when it was cold and frosty.

The elegant she wolf raised her brows a little as the males eyes flashed out in the darkness and the snow melted away leaving the grass poking out. Once again she nodded in agreement. "Yes... these powers are dangerous things..." She said under her breath, shuffling her paws in the grass and snow. For a moment she imagined the destruction she could do with her powers but dismissed the thought after a few seconds. She wouldn't dare do that. Her powers were special to her and she wouldn't do anything like that unless she had to, like Ferison had said.

There was a small silence as Shiva gave a small cough, unsure of what to talk about now. It was nice to have met the male... and it was not like she had a pack to get back to. If she wished, she'd be able to stay out all night but she was craving the forest again. The sun would be rising in an few hours... and a curious mind wandered what the male would really look like for a moment. She giggled to herself, tail flicking happily behind her. "It's a shame that others see powers as a curse, not a gift" she muttered to herself, taking a deep breath of the warm air. "So... where to do you come from?" She asked, trying to keep a conversation going. Shiva was in no mood to leave.

[crystlia]

Ferison had kept himself quiet as he didn't hear anything from Shiva as well not him really having to say anything in particular to the female as he began to close his eyes and didn't think of anything really in his head. He always thought that this had always passed time for him when there was nothing really to do at these times exactly, but he still kept his ears open to hear anything that the wolf beside him had to ask him anymore questions.

Of course he wasn't complaining one bit about it and he was seriously enjoying it with at least somebody by his side, he had almost forgot what it was like to have company and others that didn't judge you because of stupid things like looks. Also he knew that eventually that the sun would soon be rising over the horison and making the shadows that cloaked him disappear and showing what he truley looked like in the daylight.

Then the question came up from Shiva asking him where he came from, he looked over to the female when she asked that question and raised a brow when she asked that question but then made a chuckle and let out a relieving sigh. "Honestly? Im from here on the Skylit Meadow." He told her as he laughed to himself thinking that it was a little ironic but began to continue on with his story. "Yep, I was born here, raised here, my whole life I have usually stayed around here seeing as I didn't want to go out and scare others away." He confessed as he shifted his paws a bit, to him it kind of sounded like he just didn't bother to go anywhere else, and why would he?
