[Bronze Woods] Two Wolven Kelvic (Lynes)

by **Celestia** on August 12th, 2012, 1:51 am

70th Day of Summer, 512 AV

Celestia had grown tired of Sunberth, the same old thing every day. So she had decided to just get up and leave, travel to a new place, maybe even a new region. But before that she wanted to visit the most popular city in the Sylira region, Syliras. The good thing was that Celestia didn't need to worry about her house, for she didn't have one. She just stayed outside in the wilderness or in an inn. She hadn't come across a forest yet but when she did, she planned on hunting the animals there for her food. For now though, she had to buy her food.

The day was bright and sunny as Celestia walked nearer and nearer toward the city gates of Syliras. But it wasn't the city gates, or the city itself, that caught her attention. It was the smell of trees, bushes, and everything else. It was the sight of, what she believed and hoped, was a woods. "Maybe I'll go there instead. I can always go into the city later. This woods seems so inviting..." She whispered to herself, her feet already moving in the direction of the woods. She didn't necessarily care if she was allowed in there or not, she just wanted to run through the woods. It was rare to come upon woods, and even rarer to find forests, so she always took the chance to run through them when she found one.

Celestia took no time in finding a good bush to place her clothes, her bag, and her sword. She even found some leaves to help hide her things. Then she surveyed the area before she stripped down naked and stuffed everything she had into the bushes, adding some leaves to better camouflage her things. The next thing she did was shift into her normal form, a wolf. It took maybe a minute. After she was done shifting, her black haired had turned into midnight black fur. Her piercing yellow eyes and elongated teeth stayed, but she gained claws on all four of her paws. Celestia was smaller than most female wolves her age, so sometimes she was mistaken for a wild dog or even a coyote. That was fine with her, she didn't care what people thought of her. But it would be nice to be called a wolf instead, since that was what she really was.

With one last glance at the bush, she took off with a sprint. She loved to run, and running freely in her true form was the best damn thing she has ever done. Nothing, to her, could compare. She wasn't exactly sure where she was heading, and she didn't really care. She hoped maybe an animal of prey or another wolf might come by. She was a little hungry, and a lot lonely. She hadn't talked to anyone in what seemed like forever.

Lynes walked into the depths of The Bronze Woods, stepping off of the well-versed road; leaving it far behind him as he progressed. The light shone against his brindle hair, making him eager to switch forms and relax some. He met the tree he had seen oh so many times; marked by a claw mark cut into the bark of the tree at the very bottom, right before it met the earth. Few people would have noticed the mark, but he had placed it there for one reason. Walking around the tree, he quickly stripped out of all of his clothing, placing them in a pile before him. He had never really cared if anyone saw him naked and out here in the forest it was irrelevant, he could not be punished for such an innocent act out here.

He reached down and picked up his clothes, still bent over he reached into a hand, or rather claw, dug hole at the base of the tree. Once his hand beneath the tree he turned his wrist upwards, placing his clothes on a shelf like plank that had naturally grown within the tree. Only a corner of his shirt was visible and few wandered into the woods any way. Turning around he observed the immediate area. The trees showed their colors above his head as the canopy protected him from the majority of the light that would have grazed his skin. Leaves lay scattered across the ground, ones torn off prematurely by the wildlife.

Shifting, Lynes walked towards the subtle sound of the nearby stream. He generally walked along it to a pleasant little crevice within the woods where he could relax a tad easier. He reached the edge of the stream and turned, following it. He knew these woods rather well and this was the area that he would generally choose to come to. The silver streaks within his dark hair were being shone off by the light as he walked. His golden eyes piercing the area, wary of his surroundings. You never knew what would happen in this forest, it was unpredictable.

His pace was steady and slow, he was never in much of a rush. Why rush? He could always figure out his life on the way. He needed something to do with his days. Someone to entertain him, not like that person would present themselves out here, but hey, at least he could relax here. Perhaps even find a meal or two.

Celestia, still in her true form, slowed her running down to a walking pace. She didn't want to use up her energy, she still had to shift back into her human form so she could possibly enter the city later. I could enter it like this, she thought. But I think the guards might get a little angry haha. She rolled her yellow eyes at her thought. She pictured a wolf walking into Syliras and the guards and everyone one getting a little panicked, or in the guards case, mad. A noise that sounded a little like a chuckle rumbled from her throat, she found her own thought funny.

She walked quietly through the woods, the sun peaking in through the spaces in between the trees. Her black coat absorbed the heat quicker, for black attracts heat faster than any other color. Celestia's ears perked up at the sound of running water. A stream! I could use some water, and maybe some fish will be in there! She picked up her pace again and jogged over to where she heard the running water. It sounded closer than it actually was, it took her about ten minutes to reach the water. It was a stream with rushing water. Her eyes lit up and she quickly walked over to the stream. The first thing she did was stick her whole muzzle in the water, slightly cooling off her face. She then started to lap up some water.

After a few minutes of her cooling herself off and drinking the water, she looked up at the sound of something moving. She sniffed the air and smelt another wolf. Where are they? Celestia thought, moving her head side to side to try and find out where this mysterious wolf was. She hadn't seen any animal in this woods yet and the one time she smells one, its a wolf. She was a little glad it was one of her kind, but there was always the fact that they might not be friendly. They could be aggressive towards her even if she doesn't do anything to them. That thought unnerved her a little. As she moved her head around, she caught a glimpse of dark fur in the distance. She turned towards the downside of the stream and started walking it, planning to hopefully meet up with the other wolf quite soon.

The sunlight heated Lynes' skin, his fur only amplifying the heat as he continuing to follow the stream at a very slow pace. Looking around he looked for any activity; only to avoid it of course, he didn't quite know everything that lived in this forest, but if it didn't want to kill him then he had no problem with it.

His golden eyes looked ahead of him, the clearing was within sight. He came here often enough to know how to get in and back out of it. He enjoyed being in his wolf form far more than his human one and this was the only place that he could come to that allowed him to be himself, so it had become his place to relax. Close enough to Syliras to scare off the majority of large predators, but far enough to scare off curious wanderers.

He heard the splash of water to his back as if someone was drinking from the stream. It was rather off though and he doubted that it was a predator. It wasn't worth on his attention on this peaceful day.

The shear fact that the wolf didn't seem to notice her annoyed Celestia. Her eye twitched in annoyance as she picked up her pace and started running toward the wolf. She wasn't planning on attacking them, just getting in front of them so they would be forced to notice her. They were in close enough range as it was so they had to of been able to smell her.The first wolf I see in forever and they don't pay me any attention, not even a look in my direction to see what I was! She angrily thought. It didn't help that she was a little tired, which can sometime make people snap at the most simplest of things.

She soon caught up with the wolf, as they were walking and she was running. She got ahead of them and stopped right in front of the wolf. She narrowed her eyes at them. "Do you always ignore your own species?" She said, though it came out more like a hiss, to the wolf.

Lynes continued to walk down the stream ignoring the noises he heard behind him, up to the point that he heard steps approaching very quickly directly beside him. At this he turned, snarling loudly as he followed the other wolf's movements in front of him. There were no words behind the snarl, only a threat. After holding eye contact for a moment the other wolf spoke, insulting him on her first sentence.

Although common didn't leave their lips, he could understand the sounds and motions that she made and translate them to words. “Now is that anyway to speak to a fellow wolf, to insult me on your first words. No, I don't always ignore my own species. I just happen to ignore you and perhaps it would've been even better planned, instead of accidental.” He barked his retort at her, realizing it came out sounding like a pompous child. He didn't care much, he felt that if she would threaten him just for being in a relaxed mood, then perhaps he should ignore her. He felt no guilt for being harsh on the mysterious female wolf, although he did feel like he may have ruined a chance at making a new friend to speak with, especially in both of his forms.

Celestia didn't care so much for the other wolf, she could now tell was a male, and his snarl. She wasn't going to back down because of that. Her elongated canines could be seen slightly protruding from her upper lip. "It is when the 'fellow wolf' ignores another 'fellow wolf'." She said, though because she wasn't in her human form it came out more like a noise or bark. "Oh? And why is that, Mr. I-Ignore-Wolves? I could have been a perfectly calm wolf and a very pleasant conversation partner." She feigned pity as she looked at him, her body a little tense. She figured she was being way too dramatic and harsh on this poor fellow, but eh she wasn't in the best of moods and was just bored. A little fight couldn't hurt anyone, or so she guessed. Besides, she doubted they would actually fight, she hadn't said anything rude enough to start a fight. Now if she really wanted to have some fun and create a fight, she could easily push his buttons enough to make him extremely angry. Though she didn't want to do that, at least not right now. There was still a chance that they could be friends, somehow, and she wanted to hold onto that chance. Especially when he could communicate with her not only in her human form but also in her kelvic form, that was rare indeed. Celestia did remember to keep her guard up, just in case she actually did annoy him to the point of snapping and making him want to fight her. That was always a possibility.

His mood changed drastically as Lynes realized that this wasn't some submissive, female wolf. The female had a very short stature though and looked rather thin, with brindle hair and slightly brighter eyes than himself, but the same color. What seemed to be a smirk crossed Lynes' face.

He began to walk around the female in circles, “Evidently you aren't much of an enjoyable person to talk to, far too aggressive for my taste. Perhaps you should just calm down.” He continued to circle her though, taking in her in her wolven form, sizing her up, in case she decided to attack him. She was very thin and frail although he could tell her will was strong. Confident he could win if it came down to it, although he was also sure that he would come out with some injuries. Injuries that he didn't really want.

Although he was interested in a companion, even if it was an aggressive Kelvic such as this one, that would only make it more interesting if they chose to travel together.

She narrowed her eyes as the male wolf seemed to smirk. When an animal about twice your size in both weight and height smirked, it was almost never a good thing. Celestia knew that. She became even more tense, her eyes following the other wolf's every move. She didn't know what he would, and could, do.

She watched him circle her, a defensive stance quickly replacing her offensive one. "Honey, you just haven't seen me when I am that way. I am way more enjoyable than you possibly could be." She chortled softly at his last comment. "You tell me to calm down? Haha I hate that more than anything." She could feel his gaze sizing her up, determining that she would be no match to an opponent like him. But he would be wrong, quite wrong. Size didn't matter too much in a fight, speed, stamina, and power did. Yes she knew he would beat her in power, but she could easily beat him in speed and maybe even in stamina, depending on what he did as a human.

Since he had decided to size her up, she was going to do the same. Her eyes traveled along his body, taking note of his orange eyes, something rare for her to see, and his pointed teeth that definitely could cause a lot of damage in a fight. His brindled fur looked black, but when the light hit it the fur seemed to be a very dark brown instead. His coat also had some silver streaks mixed into it, a rather nice touch to the mixed array of colors he seemed to be made up of. He was quite big, about twice her size, and would scare any other female wolf that wasn't into fighting, the submissive kind. She hated those types of people, both male and female, that gave in when people got a little violent. She thought everyone should fight back, show those people that they can't be ruled by anyone else. That was her philosophy.

Lynes watched as the female's eyes looked over his body, sizing him up he assumed, same as he had done to her. “Maybe I haven't then, well, what are you waiting for beautiful? You wanna play?” He found himself looking at her wolf shape again, she had to be faster than him, which would be a huge advantage in battle. She also ran here, which may even mean that she could outlast him in a fight. That's two for her, one for him, the chances seemed to begin to switch sides.

He was stronger without a doubt though, if he could get one strong bite in then perhaps she would already go down, then again, did he really want her to? He hated submissive woman, woman that couldn't stand up for themselves or fight for themselves; yet here he was preparing to fight one that he would thoroughly enjoy the company of. Perhaps he should try to deescalate the situation. Nah, it was far more fun this way, besides; what was the fun in a relationship that didn't start with something entertaining.

Perhaps this would be fun, after all, it was just another wolf, it could be a blast. It could also end with either or both of them being broken, perhaps, perhaps not. Maybe he would find out soon enough.
