Cassia lowered her head as she finished her howl, and then heard the answer and smiled to Xelain. Cassia hoped that Auriga had found food, but she knew that she should be trying to hunt again before she became lazy. She was happy when she saw Auriga had caught a big breakfast, and waited to see who was going to start eating first. Cassia was still very confused by the fact that she had only seen the Lunaris leader once, and she hadn't been very kind to her except for letting her into her pack, and then she just...dissapeared.. " Do you know where she is?" Cassia asked Auriga suddenly. THen realizing that Auriga couldn't read her mind, she added, " The Lunaris leader.."

(( xD )) Auriga looked up at the sudden question obviously surprised at the new discussion. She quickly looked down not really wanting to share all her thoughts on it but she had to tell Cassia something. She knew that a one point they would have to face the problem of not having a leader and now looked like that time. "I can't say for sure...but I think she might be dead." she said slowly "I mean no one has seen her in a long time and she was heading in a very dangerous direction the last time I saw her." She got up from the ground and looked at the two wolves seriously "We need to elect a new leader or Lunaris will fall to the rebels." she said without thought.

'Yah, my thoughts exactly...but, how can we choose a leader? We atleast need to wait for Rand, give him a day, to see if he's coming back, before we do anything like that." Cassia said looking at the sky. She really hoped that Rand would come back, atleast sometime. (( Short, but eh. I really have no idea who's gonna be leader, so discuss it with me via IM, because I don't really care who it is, but, the story is really messed up if we choose certain people, so I am really confuzzed.))

(( xD ok)) Auriga nodded and was silent. Xelain looked out at the still raging storm and sighed. He finished eating his share and went over to a corner "Well we better get some rest then. We can't do much with that storm going." he said to them. He laid down and went to sleep in a instant. Auriga stayed await watching the storm restless not sure what to do. She rested down and acted like she was asleep.

Cassia pulled off a large chunk of meat and walked outside to eat it. She lied down in the damp grass and let the raindrops soak her damp coat. She didn't really know why her pack mates were inside, she loved the rain, escpecially when there was a storm. Lightning struck, lighting up the whole clearing with a very bright light. Cassia smiled as she watched the storm and looked down into the water of the stream. She listened to the sound of raindrops on water, then started to walk back towards the cave. The looked at her forelegs to see that they were unrecognisable, and were a dark brown color. She just hoped that she wasn't too unrecognisable..

Auriga looked up and saw Cassia go outside. She got up and decided to join her. She went outside and laid down a foot away from Cassia. She watched the memorizing lightening strikes and listened to the deep booms of the thunder. She let herself relax and forget all the problems at hand. She finally looked away and noticed Cassia had left. She went under a tree and closed her eyes. She listened to the rain fall on the leaves and every once in awhile a drop would land on her. She soon lost count of how many drops fell on her and she drifted into a dreamless sleep.

Cassia walked back outside and layed down next to Auriga, soon falling asleep. Suddenly, it started to snow, Cassia looked around at all of the falling snowflakes and gazed in awe at their beauty. She scooped up a little bit of snow in her paw, and threw it at a nearby tree as best she could. Somehow, the snow didn't feel cold at all, it felt like nothing. But Cassia didn't really realize that, because she was focused on an approached wolf. " Hello Cassia." Rand said smiling. " Did you miss me?" But Cassia didn't move, she just snarled, for this wolf did not look at all like Rand, nor smell like him, but he sounded just like him. " You aren't Rand, you're Daken, leader of the Rebels." she growled evily. " What do you mean, Cassia, I love you." Cassia stopped growling and looked at the Rand-Daken with a confused look, then attacked him with her fangs. She tried to bite into his chest, but he turned into mist as she touched him, leaving only his laughing voice. " You'll never see him again, darling." he said menecingly. She realized that wasn't in the snowy valley of Lunaris, but in a deserted waste land, with nothing around but dead plants. She heard the battling of wolves, then saw it, Rand battling Daken, but couldn't move. She saw that other rebels were crowded around the two wolves in the shadows, and tried to warn Rand, but she couldn't, they attacked him, and she heard the sound of his dying cry. Suddenly, everything was black. " I love you, Cassia." Rands voice echoed around in her head. Cassia woke up, and looked around, realizing she was covered in sweat, and that it was still raining.

Cassia sat up quickly, and laid back down again. She wanted to go back to sleep, but didn't think it was possible, so she starting to sing to herself. "We've roamed the wild country My beautiful yellow eyes, Side by side we've hunted Shadows dancing on northern skies.
There have been times of plenty We were content and serene, Peacefully sleeping Dangers few and far between.
We've also known much hunger Ribs protruding from each side, Mournfully we howled When our starving cubs had died.
And then there was our first winter Romping thru the glistening snow, Tasting each crystal snowflake Falling gently to and fro.
Ah my dear, sweet yellow eyes I've known no greater love, Without you, I am nothing Our wild souls are one.
And now you lay there dying Steel jaws upon your frame, Life's blood slowly seeping I whimper your sweet name.
Helpless, I watch you struggle Chest heaving with labored breath, Steel jaws clenching tighter Winds whisper the song of death.
The blood has now stopped flowing I know the time is near, And you will forever leave me My love, my life, my dear.
And now my world is silent Your struggles now have ceased, I lay my head upon you And know you are at peace.
Perhaps your soul has lifted To skies where eagles soar, And there you'll greet your brothers To run with them forever more.
And someday I shall find you In the heaven's so far above, And when our wild soul's unite There'll be no greater love. "
By the time she finished, she was almost asleep, so she moved closer to Auriga, and fell asleep once more.

(( More with the musyness! Oh, and i didn't write that, I probobly could have done something like that, but I didn't really feel like it right then. With amber eyes he watches. Over his pack, his family. Strong together as they hunt for survival.
With angry eyes he sees. Fences across land, men with guns, and a thrill. He only kills to survive.
With sad eyes he looks. At sharp traps, the soft furs of his pups. They didn't run to survive.
So he asks, why did he survive? This one's sad tooo))

((Silent paws trotting on a well beaten trail, alone in the wilderness, so young and so frail.
Little yips go unanswered, the moon is now his guide, looking for ones just like him, or have all of them just died?
He sniffs the dampened ground and senses man everywhere, the silence is deafening no howls in the air.
Oh why did he venture so far from his den, while his pack fell silent at the hands of men?
His stomach is growling but the hunger he’ll endure, his pack family is out there it’s their blood he smells for sure.
He stops in his tracks and raises his head up high, the terror overwhelms him as he lets out another cry.
But still there’s no answer he can’t understand why, he’ll follow their trail or he surely will die.
For days now he’s traveled his spirit and body gone weak, he lies down in white clover no more energy left to speak.
Soon the soul hovers over this tiny, frail pup, whose future now will be guarded as his soul travels up.
What right does man have to take life from a living thing, that has no way to voice its defense against a human being?
The wolf is a symbol, a brother, a friend. it’s time now for action before his existence comes to an end. ((*cries))

((He stands alone at the top of the hill And sings his mournful cry, His mate and cubs are missing He's not certain why.
He had been out hunting Was gone for only a day, And hurried back with empty jaws So scarce now was their prey.
He wasn't gone long Eager to get home, But the den was cold and empty And he sensed something was wrong.
The smell of man was everywhere With footprints in the dirt, And blood shed from his family He knew they had been hurt.
He sat and waited day by day With hopes they would return, There wasn't much he could do Except quietly sit and yearn.
Why would man come all this way To hunt and shoot them down, To interrupt their quiet lives When no harm had been done?
Their territory plainly marked And not once did they stray, For they would rather starve to death Than to get in man's way.
The smell of chickens, cows and sheep Were so tempting at times, But instincts warned not to hunt them Or they would lose their lives.
And so they lived a quiet life Existing on small game, Careful it was only wildlife And nothing man had tamed.
So he could find no reason For the blood shed on that day, So peacefully they lived here So far out of man's way.
Maybe they'd be coming back His cubbies and his mate, Wolves are mated once for life So he would sit and wait.
That was many moons ago And they have not come back, But he will not stop hoping For the reunion of his pack.
He now knows men are murderers But still does not know why, And every night he climbs his hill And sings his mournful cry. *cries again*))

Snowflakes fell onto Lamedas' coat as she climbed through the snow making her way to the hidded cave. She had travel far to get to this one place and help those inside. She quickened her pace and soon was in the entrance of the cave behind the waterfall. Auriga looked up and saw this wolf. She growled and soon Xelain woke up. Auriga pushed Cassia to wake her up and turned back to the newcomer "Who are you?" she said wondering how they found the cave. Lameda looked at this wolf who asked "I am Lameda and I bring grave news for Lunaris." she said to the wolves.

Cassia instantly jumped up and started to growl at Lameda, but stopped growling when the black wolf spoke, and instead started to get tears in her eyes, but only she could tell that they were there. " What's happened to Rand!?" she screamed, looking at the cave floor and then at Lameda, slightly glaring because she kinda thought that Rand might have run away for this wolf.

Lameda stared at the wolf confused and not really sure what to say. "I'm sorry but it's about Luna. We were out searching when we were attacked and she died of blood loss." she said slowly to them. Auriga lowered her head and nodded it. Now it was Xelains time to be confused " Who's Luna?" he asked looking at Lameda. Lameda stared shocked "Do you know nothing of the battle that is going on?" she asked them. Auriga looked up "Yes we do but Xelain is now and we have yet to fill him in on some things. " she said and did a small bow "I assume you are the new Lunaris leader." she added. Lameda nodded her head and then turned to the other wolves "Yes I have come to help stop the rebels but is this all that is left of the Lunaris pack?" she asked.

" No...uh...my...friend...Rand, he uh..left..but I'm sure he's coming back soon..?" she said, putting a fake smile on her face. " And when he gets back...maybe we can....uh...uhh...Find!...some more wolves to join our pack, but besides him, this is all we've got. Cassia finished, slightly blushing. " I'm sorry that you've lost your friend, and our leader, she...well, I only met her once, and she wasn't very nice to me then, but she was nice emough to let me join her pack, and she seemed like a good leader, even though she was never really here, but I'm sure she was out doing good things..." Cassia stopped, realizing that Luna hadn't really been such a good leader to her pack, since half of the wolves in her pack had never even seen her..but she still had to try and say something nice. " By the way, I'm Cassia, pleased to meet you, Lameda, new leader of Lunaris." she said, pulling a sort-of bow. "But...if it's alright with you, right now I feel like playing in the snow..unless you want us to hunt or something?" she said, rather impatiently, yet contently wagging her white tail. She looked outside to see that the river was fully frozen, and she had a sudden urge to slide onto it with Auriga...or Xelain..or Lameda..or Rand..but she knew that it was her leader's job to decide what she should do, she hadn't fogotten respect after these months of playing around and living without a leader.

Lameda looked at the wolves and then turned to Cassia "You can go ahead but I want to talk to Auriga on what has been happening." she said to Cassia. Auriga went up to Lameda while Xelain went to Cassia. He pushed her playfully "I may be old but I'm still fast." he said touching her then running out for a game of tag. "Have you had any encounter with any of the other packs?" Lameda asked Auriga. "We ran into the rebels but that was awhile ago. It seems all of the other packs are short on members too." Auriga replied as Lameda sat down. "I see. We need to find the Pyralis pack and talk to them. We should team up with them and soon. The rebels have always had stronge members in their pack." she said to Auriga seriously. Auriga nodded "We should get going soon then." Auriga said to their pack leader. Lameda got up "You should be the one to tell the others since I haven't known them for long." she then went outside and just stared at the snow in deep thought. Auriga went over to Cassia and pushed her playfully. "Tomorrow we are heading to find the Pyralis pack." she said to her friend not sure how she would respond to this sudden decision. Xelain was hiding in a bush near the two wolves when he heard the announcement. He came out of his hiding spot and joined the conversation. "Interesting but I can see why she decided this." he said mainly to himself.

"Yah, I was thinking about doing that a while ago, but I didn't want it to seem that I thought I was atomatically the leader or something for some weird reason. I...I would like to ask them something too.." she said, knowing that they would know what she meant by that. " So....do you guys know if we're going to meet just at Pyralis, or at Sunset Meadow, because that's where meetings between the two are supposed to be held.." Cassia bolted off for Lameda, not waiting for an answer from her two friends. " Lameda," she said once she reached her leader, " Is the meeting between Lunaris and Pyralis going to take place in Sunset Meadow, where it's supposed to...or are we just going to travel directly to Pyralis..?" she asked, her eyes on her leader's.

"We will be meeting at Sunset Meadow." she said looking Cassia in the eye "It is right between us so we could just how from there to have them come meet us." she added cooly. She remembered Sunset Meadow for she had been there a long time ago negotiating with Pyralis. "Anything else you wish to ask?" she said to Cassia sitting down.

" Um..not right now, Lameda." Cassia said, her eyes shining. " Thanks....Uh..hey, uh..do you wanna come outside and play with us...or..are you too busy..?" Cassia asked, knowing thta she sounded like a pup, and that she wasn't making such a great first impression on her new leader. Cassia started to walk out of the entrance and into the snow, but looked back and waited for a responce from Lameda.

Lameda grinned and quickly ran over knocking Cassia into the snow. "Even I like to play every now and then." she said to her and ran off into the snow. Xelain saw this and ran over to Cassia. He touched her slowly with his paw and whispered "Tag your still it." and bolted off. Auriga ran and knocked some snow onto Cassia then went into a bush. Lameda looked around and saw a tree that had a lot of snow around it and a hole at the bottom. She started digging and went into the snow, then into the hole in the tree. Xelain went and hid between a few trees and then waited for Cassia.

( Poor Cassia, since she's my only wolf, she gets picked on..xD) Cassia quickly got up and shook off the snow, happy to be able to run around again. She dashed across the white valley, towards Lameda, but suddenly turned right, onto the frozen river. She had played on ice every year, and she could control her feet as easily as she could on hard ground. She then continued running towards Lameda as fast as she could, then suddenly sat on her back feet, and causing her body to slide, faster than she had been running. She slid infront of Lameda and jumped off of the ice. She quickly changed direction in midair, then ran off, tagging Lameda before she passed her. She spotted Auriga and launched herself towards her, and on impact, they both rolled over in the snow. " Don't worry," Cassia said, laughing, " Lameda's it." Cassia then got up, brushed the snow off of herself and Auriga, and ran off into the trees.

Auriga gave a sigh of relief and looked for a good spot to hide in.Lameda ran off sniffing the air searching for someone to tag. She saw Xelain who had his back turned away. "Xelain." she whispered to him. He turned around and backed up. "I'm not it. I was going to ask you if you knew." she said getting close to him in order to tag him. "I'm not sure either." he said looking around them "I haven't caught anyones scent yet too." She grinned and pushed him playfully "Well since you are unsure I'll fill you in. You see since I pushed you, you are now it!" she said pilling snow on him then running off laughing. They continued for the rest of the day and soon the sun was setting. Lameda howled for all of them to go to the cave and ran to their home. Now to get a good nights rest for the trip tomorrow.
