Welcome to the world of Arvandor. A place where many wolves have ended up. Some are vagabonds, some power-hungry, some are foolish and others wise. They've all ended up here at the same moment of time, breathing the same crisp air. A place where personalities clash and mesh, where hearts are broken and connections are made, where you can almost hear the darkness and feel the passions. Where will you fit in? Or do you even dare to commence this life altering adventure?

What now.. « Thread Started on Jul 7, 2009, 6:51pm »
After walking for what seemed days Vehiron plonked himself down into the grass with a groan. "Uhhhhhh maaaaa feennn" He was knackered. He just wanted to shut his eyes forever. It didn't help that a few hours before he had been thrown about like a rabbit between rabid wolves by a quake that had quite literally changed the shape of the land.
It had been a good thing he had decided to leave what was once Mithril to Galadriel, his sister or he would have to find his way back. He grinned at the thought, how impossible it would be to find anything now. So much had gone on in his short life... His brow crumpled he didn't like to think about how old he was. He hated the thought of aging, he was too vain for that. Sagging skin and dull fur sent shivers up his spine.
He sat up, where was he anyway. He couldn't smell any wolves, but that wasn't a surprise. The air was filled with the scent of the newly moved earth. It saturated the air.

Estolad took his time as he wandered his land’s borders. He knew he had to know the land if he was going to rule a pack here. ‘I’ll have to find dens soon, once I’m done with this…’ Most wolves had dens in caves right? He had grown up in very unusual dens, and he knew that, but he’d never really seen real wolf dens before. Caves sure, but not dens. ‘I guess dens should be large enough for the pack, with lots of rooms… Geez, I hope there’s a place like that around… The older pup frowned slightly, it was kind of sad that he was almost two and had never seen a proper pack dens. ‘I guess it doesn’t really have to be proper… As long as it’s livable’ That made him feel a bit better. As long as it was some place him and his future pack could live safely, it would work as a home.
By this time Esto had nearly made a complete round of his territory and was up in the highlands. Standing up on one of the higher hills in the immediate area, he took a deep breath of the fresh air, his head held high and his tail wagged into the air. Esto so naturally held the Alpha position it was as though he’d been doing it his whole life. ‘Yes, I can defiantly do this’ He decided and grinned slightly, the thought of having his own lands, and them being as beautiful as these, was like a dream he never wanted to end. Suddenly, movement caught the brute’s attention, causing his head to swivel in that direction. Esto’s stomach jumped into his throat, it was a wolf. ‘Shit, does someone actually want to challenge me for the lands? Or is it just someone passing through?... Maybe it’s someone who wants to join?’ Figuring two out of three was good enough a reason to greet the wolf.
Making his way across the hilly landscape Esto approached the other brute slowly, warily. A gust of wind blew through, blowing the other male’s scent in Estolaad’s direction, causing him to stop dead in his tracks. ‘I know that wolf… It’s… It’s…’ The black and gold brute’s eyes widened slightly. It was Ron, one of his siblings. Part of Esto wanted to just tackle the brute and lick him in greeting, but he knew that it wouldn’t be Alpha like to greet someone like that, so instead he resumed his slow trot towards his brother. ‘What if he doesn’t remember me?... Do any of them remember me?’ Esto had never really had a relationship with any of his siblings, they had never paid any attention to him when he was young. Neither had his mother or father. And then he’d run away.
Swallowing roughly, Estolad slowed his trot to a hesitant walk as he closed the last few feet between him and his brother. “Ron…” Esto’s voice was feeble and he winced slightly. “Hey, Ron, long time no see” That was better, it came out firmer and less whimpy. He had to get over his shyness if he was going to be an Alpha. Sitting down in front of his brother Estolad smiled slightly and held his head high. Ron was bigger then him, as Esto was the runt of their litter, but the black and gold brute was Alpha here, now, so he had to let his posture show it. “How are things back home?... How is mom doing?... I mean, before the earthquake and all” He dared trod on the delicate subject of their homeland. Esto had not heard word of all the things that had happened back home, and he didn’t know his mother was dead; he had been gone far too long.
[OOC: Ron can tell Esto about their mom being dead, but I’d prefer he not know about Alagos’ involvement in it, as I’d like Icari, Alagos and the pups to be allowed in his pack, and they won’t be if he knows everything xD thanks]

As he looked around a scent finally hit that wasn't soil. 'Esto?' The scent was eithier his or his memory was slipping. Soon his thoughts were confirmend. His tail wagged, as he stood to greet his brother. He eas glad it was a farmiliar face he was now confonted with rather than a stranger. He grinned at the short brute, the hight diffrence was quite unusual concidering they were born in the same litter. He decided it best to lay down so he didn't seem so... Big. He didn't want to seem so intimidating.
His ears flicked back 'He doesn't know?'. He let out a long drwen sigh and eyed the ground. He decided to keep it simple and to answer as he had asked. "Home? Heh. No one is there as far as I know. Everyone kind of... Scattered as the quake hit. The ruins are no more, they couldn't handle it. You would never recognise the place."He hesitated now, a large lump formed in his throat. "Mom... Umm.. Mom.. Well, She... How could you not know? She. She is no-longer with us Esto. She was killed. She was comming back to us but someone else got there first." He stopped for a moment to let is sink in. He didn't know if he would take this hard or not, hopefully not as hard as when Dad died. "Mom did have pups, a litter of three before she... There were other pups there too but I didn't really pay attention. To be honest I wasn't there long. I left Galadriel there and retrned to look around after the quake, then I came here." He didn't give ther little brute too much information, he had given enough as it was.
He looked to him, not knowing the thoughts in his head. "Are you okay Esto?" His auds flicked back, he didn't want his brother in pain. He was posed and ready to hug.

Estolad relaxed slightly as his brother seemed happy to see him, at least he remembered his little brother… Really little, Esto was barely half the size of Ron now. ‘Damn, when did he get so big?!’ The brute thought with a small frown, his siblings had always been bigger then him, but… Damn. As soon as the Valasse saw his brother’s expression to his question the brute’s heart sank, something had gone wrong back home, hadn’t it? Part of Esto was instantly glad he had been away during whatever had happened, but at the same time the brute felt as thought he should have been there for his family and old pack. ‘Nothing you can do now, Esto…’ As Ron started to talk about the pack Esto sat quietly and listened, nodding slightly to show he was paying attention.
The news of the ruins being destroyed was saddening for little Esto, but the chances of him seeing them again were slim anyways, so it wasn’t that big of a blow to the little brute. “That’s understandable, they were old, I would have been surprised if they’d held up to the quake” He said softly and shifted slightly, watching his brother as he became nervous at the question about their mom. ‘Oh no…’ The small brute’s ears backed slightly and a moment later the brute’s worst fear was realized. His mother was, indeed, dead. “Mom…” His voice was weak as he croaked out the single word. The black and gold brute’s eyes closed as he fought back the sudden onrush of tears at the realization that both of his parents were gone.
For a long time Estolad had be angry at his mom, he had thought her the reason his father had died, but as the young brute had gotten older he realized that it couldn’t have been true, that his mom had loved his father and would have never hurt him on purpose. And he had also learned that there was no point in holding a grudge against her, but… “I didn’t get to say sorry…” He mused softly and heaved a heavy sigh, a few tears streaking his cheeks as he looked away from his brother and out over what was now his lands. As Ron spoke again Esto listened with half an ear, he caught what he said but it didn’t quite sink in yet, the realization that he had half-siblings would probably hit him later on.
‘Mom’s dead… The dens are gone… My old life has been completely destroyed’ He frowned slightly, in a way this might have been a good thing, without his old home he wouldn’t feel as though he had to go back to check up on things and could focus on what would now be his pack. “Are you okay Esto?” The black and gold brute jumped slightly, he had almost forgotten his brother was there. “What?... Oh, yeah… I’ll be alright” He gave Ron a thankful smile and nodded slightly. “Thanks for letting me know…” He paused for a moment before deciding to tell his brother what he was thinking. “I’m just a little upset because I never got to apologize to mom… I ran away, because I thought she had killed dad… I know now she didn’t, but I was young then, and I didn’t know…” He sighed and hung his head slightly. “I was going to come home, and I was going to tell her that I was sorry… And that I wasn’t mad at her, and that I loved her, but…” He smiled weakly at Ron. “I guess she’ll know now anyways, huh?” The young male nuzzled his brother affectionately and smiled, despite the fact that his brother had brought such grave news, it felt good to see his brother after so long. “It’s really good to see you again, Ron, I missed you guys”

The golden brute was glad that Esto was okay, 'But is he really?' He brushed that thought away, course he was okay, he as an Undomiel. They are made of tougher stuff, well, mostly. Thinking back to his reaction to his fathers death. A little embarassing on his part. 'Oh well, the past is the past, I must look forward, to the future' then another voice popped into his head, that of his fathers 'Hopefully full of femmes', he had to conceal his grin, it wasn't the time for grinning. He cleared his throat and focused on what Esto was saying. "I thought she had killed dad".
A frown creased his forehead. "Don't be silly.. At least now you realize the truth. Mom will always be here, I'm sure she will know you are sorry." He had to conceal yet another emotion, deep anger and pure hatred for the wolf that caused the deaths of both his parents. He would not tell Esto or anyone for that matter as he knew that the small brute would seek to kill Alagos then Alagos' pups would seek to kill Esto. He knew it would lead to murder after murder. He, himself was fine with Icari and her young as they had done nothing wrong but he would hate to see Alagos in any pack with any of his family.
After moments thinking about this he turned to Esto, "So, what are your plans for the near future?" He looked to the ground, what were his own plans? Stalk Alagos to prevent him killing again, Settle down.. What no. Go seek some.. Company, join a pack. He snorted out of annoyance. He truly had no idea what to do with himself.

“Don’t be silly” Estolad smiled, his tail wagging a little, his brother was right, he had been silly to think his mother had killed their father. He had been young then, he had seen his father, dead, and his mother there with him and there were no others around, so his first reaction had been that his mother had done it. ‘Of course she hadn’t, she never would of done something like that, to herself, to us or her pack’ He was completely certain of her innocence now, there was no question about it. “Yeah… She’ll always be with all of us, and she will help us go where we need to” He smiled, suddenly not feeling so bad about his mother’s death. He had never been close to either of his parents, or his siblings, but he was sensitive, especially when it came to death and it was an unconditional love, his love for his family. ‘But I can’t let that stop me, I have to be strong’
Suddenly, something Ron had said before hit him. ‘Wait, pups?’ “Ron… You said mom had more pups… We have half siblings? Do you know who the father is?” He asked, the thought of having more siblings intrigued him. Perhaps one day he would meet them, but would he recognize them? ‘I wonder… If I’d just know’ His ears flicked slightly and a small smile formed on his maw, yes, he’d love to meet his half siblings sometime, but in the meantime he would have to worry about his pack. ‘Speaking of, I should go den hunting soon…’ He glanced around, it was starting to get dark, hopefully he could find dens before it was too dark to see.
His brother spoke up again, making the black and gold brute snap back to attention and he smiled. “I’m going to start a pack of my own” He grinned slightly and puffed his chest out proudly. “In fact, you’re on my lands now” He said and smirked a little, it felt good to say that these were his lands. “What about you? What are your plans?” He asked and flicked his tail slightly as his bright blue orbs scanned the highlands. “I should probably find dens soon, before it gets dark…” He frowned a little, he didn’t want to leave his brother, but he had to take care of this. “You can come with me, if you want, if you don’t have anything you need to do” He said and smiled, the company would be nice, but he wouldn’t make his brother come if he didn’t want to.

He smiled "I hope not all the time" he added with a wink. He didn't like the idea of his mother watching him always, he needed... Alone time... With other wolves. He was very interested in the loving interactions between wolves. He had yet to experience any but had heard many tales. He shook his head, he needed to keep his mind off that for now, he needed to figure out where his life was taking him.
He nodded "Yes, we have two half sisters and a half brother" He hadn't really gotten to know them or their names but he knew them when he saw them. "To be honest Esto, no one really knows, It's a toss up beween Maglor and Gildor. I don't know the details of it but something funny went on." He sighed, he didn't know the details of her last months and a part of him didn't want to know, it lead to her death so it couldn't have been all that awsome.
Alpha? His brother had gained the title he deserved like Gala, he was happy that at least two of his mothers pups had gotten an Alpha possition. He felt maybe he should be an Alpha but right now he didn't think it was worth the bother and stress. It did her mother no good although most of the stress she encountered came from the deaths and dissaperence of her many mates. If she had been more 'friendly' and faster to get over these brutes Fenris only knows how many half siblings he would have now. "I don't really have any solid plans to be honest. I would gladly come with you Esto." He wagged hsi tail, he was glad his brother wanted his company. Maybe later on he could settle down in this pack with him. Although he did have a little exploring to do first; he wanted to see all of his siblings first and maybe bump into his half siblings and cousins too. He was the oldest so he felt protective over his family.

A soft giggle escaped Estolad’s maw at his brother’s words, he sort of understood, but at the same time the brute was still quite innocent. “Okay, let me rephrase that; she’ll be with us when we need it” He said and poked his tongue out slightly. He was very much enjoying the company of his brother, after so long without his siblings and only the conversation of Nithron, he was happy to have an adult conversation for once. Sighing softly Esto flicked his ears slightly, and for the first time wondered if his brother would be interested in joining his pack, he’s love to have him, but he was a little afraid to ask. ‘Perhaps I’ll ask him later… After I find dens’ He thought to himself and nodded slightly, if his brother didn’t take off now he would ask him later.
When Ron spoke up about their half siblings a small frown occupied his face. They don’t know why the father is? A toss up between two males? Seriously? What was their mom, some kind of whore or something? ‘Something funny went on alright… Sounds like mom went a little crazy before she died…’ His ears backed a little and part of him wondered if it was a good thing she passed away, it seemed as though she’d had some issues… That or the brutes that ‘could be their half siblings father’s’ had something wrong with them, though he remembered Maglor being alright, he never knew Gildor. Even still, meeting his half siblings someday would be nice.
Estolad sighed softly and smiled at his brother, he really hoped he could make it as an Alpha; at least the pack would start small. He didn’t really know anyone so he couldn’t recruit others, but at the same time that would allow him to start with a clean slate, he would meet new wolves as they came to his land and he would keep a decent pack. Grinning slightly Esto turned his attention to Ron again as he spoke, and the brute nodded, excited to have his brother coming along with him. “Great, I’ll be happy to have the company” He said and wagged his tail a little as he stood up and stretched out before looking to his brother and smiling. “Alright, I’m heading for the forest, meet yea there” He said and padded off ahead of his brother, hoping to get some looking time before it go too dark.

He sighed, he missed his mother and farther, why did that bastard have to take them from him? If he ever saw Alagos he didn't know if he could hold back, if he could resist taking his revenge. He wouldn't kill him, no he would take him apart bit by bit and leave him bleeding to death. Maybe leave him drowing in a bog. The hatrid he held for the brute threatened to explode but he held it. He needed to stop thinking of her now and the one that ended her life. This was the reason he would never be the one to spread the details of his parents deaths to Esto, he was happy, free of hate. He could live free of the knowalge that was threatening to destroy the golden brute, make him into just what he hated, a murderer. He watched his brother leave "I won't be long, give me a moment" he called. With his brother gone he sat there, still, so still if he wasn't on his feet you would think him dead. He concentrated only on the wind on his face, nature. The was so much beauty in this world, why couldn't he see it? He longed to be in the ruins again nesstled between his parents, safe and warm. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. It was consuming him. He couldn't let it, it was much like the sadness that consumed his mother, he knew what that had done to her.
He had watched as the light slowly vanished. Esto would be wondering where he was, he was forced free of his hatrid around his brother and had someone to talk about something else with. Maybe the best way to get over these feelings was to distract himself from it? Personally he would love to stop Alagos breathing but that would only bring more hate. The Brute would die before him, he was older, passed his prime. Maybe kama would catch up on him sooner. He stood, he wanted to catch up with Esto before his thoughts drove him to madness. He followed his brothers scent into the wood.
