SL - Shadows of Sonoma

[PuppyWuffyKins]

-Situation-

The wolves of the Sonoma pack were in danger. For months, now, a carnivorous pack had been praying on them when they were asleep. Guards were put up to protect the pups- but not for long, when the guards became the prey(thankfully, they never took the pups. Had to leave wolves to grow for food, hmm?) instead of the pups. The cannibal wolves were invisible like shadows; or rather very good at hiding in shadows.

Being cannibals, the wolves could eat more often and always had food. They were, as a result, much larger then other wolves. Stronger, but not smarter, nor faster. For when your a cannibal, what need is there for agility?

-Prophecy-

The five will dream
The five will meet
The five will come,
And leave the cannibals in defeat.

Three wolves from the Sonoma pack will dream of two wolves from the cannibal pack, same for the two. They will be confused, as they continue to have this dream. Eventually, the all decide to take a walk..and bam. They meet.

-Plot-

So the five meet, and continue to have dreams while the leader of the Sonoma pack dreams the prophecy. Eventually, the three convince the two cannibal wolves eating other wolves is not right. So, what do they do? The do what any noble heroes would do. Fight the bad guys. Save the day. Or, will the save the day part happen? That all depends on the role players' wishes!

-My Characters-

Starrichi *The Sonoma Princess*

She's the daughter of the Sonoma Pack's leader, shes light brown, thick-furred, and has emerald green eyes. Yet, she's touch, rough, and not without her mighty temper! Why they nicknamed her the Sonoma Princess instead of the Volcano Princess, only her pack-mates would know.

Rokujiraiya *The Sarcastic One*

Rokujiraiya, Roku for short, is one of the hated and feared cannibals. But, he's also one of the more friendly, eh? Though quite sarcastic. He has light blue eyes and dark, dark black fur. He can be quite random at some points, and usually he does his randomosity in sarcasm. When he doesn't, people think he's serious which freaks them out.

Thought the prophecy only holds five wolves, as many people can join as they want. Gotta have the non-goodies, right?

([OCC.] Monarchy made me post. I woulda waited for ya Alice but Monarchy got impatient XD So yeah, Sowwy. 83 You can still join in when ever you want ^_^ I sound like Angeli O.o[/OCC.])

The light, brown-furred wolf was pouting, however a wolf pouts, as she always did. She was walking around; pacing, rather. She was bored! She was almost hoping one of the cannibals would raid the camp so she could fight. Starrichi sighed, her beautiful, bright emerald green eyes half closed as she stared around, looking for something to do. Chase a bird, roll in mud, just something! Eventually giving up, the she-wolf decided to try and nap or something. She shut her eyes hard against the sun but it had little effect. Groaning she opened them again and decided to just watch what was happening around her, despite the fact is was boring, it was something to do. The birds chirped, some more obnoxious then others, and leaves fell to the ground in the strong breeze. Fall was coming; there would be less places to hide from the cannibals. The cannibals frustrated her. The fact no one would put her on gaurd duty frustrated her even more. As such, she sighed once more as a leaf landed on her head, which was soon pushed off by the breeze, and then pounced upon, and torn up by the pups. Which made Starrichi smile slightly. She missed being a carefree, mischevious, disruptive and destructive pup. It was fun.

"I really don't think this is a good idea Kalina!"

[/color] a dark-colored wolf murmered to the female in front of him. Her head shot back, her brown eyes burning into his blue eyes. "No one will know, now come on! And be quiet!"[/color] she shot back, swiftly slithering up the hilly entrance. The Sonoma pack's camp was more or less empty, with everyone being asleep or out doing something. It was the changing of the guard, where the other guard left their post to go get a new pack member to take over - meaning that for a few minutes no one was watching the entrace. This would be the perfect time for an attack - or two wolves to sneak out without being noticed. Which is exactly what Kalina and Akaician were doing.

Kal set off first as soon as her paws hit the camp boundry. She rocketed forward, using her speed to get as far away as possible - a little white blur. Kai rolled his eyes, bolting after his friend. "Sure nobody saw yes?"[/color] the male wolf said when he got closer to her. "Positive!"[/color] she said, giggling slightly. Kai-Kai was always so uptight about those things, he needed to be more loose. She slowed her pace a bit when she was sure they're wasn't anyone else around.

"So where to?"[/color] Kai asked, looking ahead with his ice-blue eyes. "I was thinkng maybe cannibal territory, not too deep into I mean - just around the border!"[/color] The white wolf, shaking her fur. "And you wonder why they don't let you out of camp,"[/color] Kai muttered, walking forward through the trees. Kalina narrowed her eyes, holding her head higher. It was true, the little white wolf was bound to camp unless she had at least three other adult wolves with her. It was stupid, so she had run into a patrol of the opposing pack, but was that really /her/ fault? Young Kalina continued to ponder this as she padded after Kai, toward the other pack's border.[/blockquote]

[PuppyWuffyKins]

The black wolf layed there grinning in the mid-day heat. He blinked his blue eyes, and panted. He loved gaurding the border. Sometimes it could get him such an easy meal. He yawned, and as he did, he swore he caught the scent of two Sonoma wolves; male and female... The young cannibal wolf took another sniff, but couldn't trace any hints of it. He sighed. He must be getting hungry, to imagine Sonoma scents.

The young male wolf was named Rokujiraiya, but everyone calls him Roku. Though he was a cannibal, he acted like he wasn't. The black wolf got up and stretched, soon settiling back down to a sitting position, keeping all his senses alert for any more traces of wolf by the border.

[▐ MONARCHY ♥]

After a little while of running the pair were finally at the border. "Yes!"

[/color] Kal said, grinning largely. Her eyes then darted to the sighing Akaician. "Oh stop worry Kai, learn to relax for a change!"[/color] she said, giggling softly. The younger wolf then pranced forward - Kai following her solomnly. Everything would've been fine, two wolves in for a little mischeif. Except there was a hill - a steep one - and Kalina's balance wasn't the best.

She slowed down a bit, her dark eyes looking around the territory. "So, where d'we go from he--"[/color] he question was cut of with a small squeaking exclamation as a stone slipped from under her paw. The white wolf began tumbling down the hill - faster then even Akaician had run before. She didn't even slow at the bottom, she sped up. Then she hit something - hard. Something furry. Something like a wolf. Kalina groaned slightly, her head spinning. "What hit me?"[/color] she asked, expecting an answer.

Then poor Kai - not able to keep up decided to walk down the hill carefully, to not end up like Kalina. And thus, he was not there when Kal ran into the cannibal wolf, and thus - he did not know. So he continued at a leisure pace down the hill. ( xD )[/blockquote]

[PuppyWuffyKins]

The cannibal wolf did not expect anything to come down the hill, let alone bump into him. He let out a suprised yelp, and got up, turning around gwoling, his black fur bristling. Then he saw the white wolf, and he sniffed deeply. One of the scents from earlier... He looked around and saw no other Sonoma wolves, but he certainly smelled one. The male. He looked down at the small, young wolf. "Whats your name, little snack?" He asked, not really hungry right now and as such decided to use sarcasm, though that was probably the wrong word to make sarcastic. He mentally shrugged it off and waited for the response, Roku did.

[▐ MONARCHY ♥]

Kalina shook her head, standing up from where she was. At the voice her brown eyes darted to Roku, sizing him up clearly. Cannibal wolf no doubt - even though he looked like a regular wolf. Black fur, and the most shocking blue eyes she had seen, even more so than Akaician's! She narrowed his eyes at his comment then. "No actually, I'm dinner if you were wondering,"

[/color] she barked - her voice thick with sarcasm, a smirk planted on her face.

Then to the rescue, the all mighty Akaician. A little late, but hey - what heroe actually shows up on time? The dark brown wolf raised an eyebrow - if wolves have eyebrows that is - at seeing Roku and Kalina talking in such a calm atmosphere. He gave Kalina a questioning look, and then sat down. Yes - the might heroe sat down. He would wait to see what happened, and if he was needed he would do something. Better to stay quiet and watch - rather then barge in yelling , like Kalina. ( =P )[/blockquote]

[PuppyWuffyKins]

"Oh really? I thought your name was Lunch," Roku replied. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm your worst nightmare," The black cannibal said with a yawn. "Also known as Death." Roku growled, as he stood up. He wasn't hungry but it was his duty to kill intruders. Supply fresh meat for the little cannibal pups. The black wolf loved being a cannibal, but Roku hated the killing part. It was so...bloody. Blood tasted deliscious, but he hated killing other wolves though he loved eating them.

He had the strangest feeling they were being watched, but he payed no heed. He knew the other wolf was somewhere. He blinked his sharp blue eyes, scanning the forests but seeing nothing but wha looked like a tree stump- all beit a furry one- and he trained his gaze back on the white wolf as he crouch down, preparing to tackle her. He glanced around the forest one more time and sprang.

[▐ MONARCHY ♥]

Kalina smirked. So he played right back did he? Well, it takes two to tango. "Actually, my worst nightmare's a whole lot cuter then you buddy,"

[/color] she said, smirking at her own words. She sat down, perfecty comfortable in the atmosphere - and began to groom her left paw. She knew what the fuzzy stump was - Kai of course. It was amazing that the large black brute didn't notice the blue eyes, maybe he thought they were flowers or something. She was confident. The rogue wasn't going to hurt her - she had Kai right there. Though, the flying black wolf scared her a tiny bit.

Kai grunted slightly, figuring out that the big brute of a cannibal had no clue he was there. So he slowly inched forward, careful not to make a single sound. He would stop of course if the others turned to look at him, but for now he would get closer and closer. Perhaps all the brute needed was a good scare and he'd be off. But then, his thoughts were changed as the wolf sprang. Akaician - faster then most wolves his size, well, faster then any wolf actually - launched as well. He hit the other male wolf direction in the side of his rib cage - right before he hit Kalina.

She felt her fur sway slightly, and she opened her eyes to see what had happened. Yes, there he was. Kai-Kai pinning down the big brute. The young wolf ruffled her fur slightly, giving a somewhat accusing look at Kai. "Took ya' long enough!"[/color] She then continued grooming a paw.[/blockquote]

[PuppyWuffyKins]

So there he was, Rokujirayia, in the air about to kill the young white wolf. Then he felt pain, and next thing he knew, the furry tree stump was pinning him down. "Looks like the furry tree stump is attacking." Roku said all lazy, like he really didn't care. But of course he did. So the black cannibal said something else. "Jeeze, are you sure your a tree stump? Ya look more like a wolf to me. Haha, the furry tree stump is gonna eat me." Roku yawned, and studied his attacker. Guess my eyesight is failing, then, huh, the cannibal thought. He poked the furry tree stump with one of his paws curiously. Very muscley.... Much better meal then the white wolf. The cannibal yawned once more, and then got ready to push his opponent off of him if he tried to kill Roku.

Starrichi blinked. Did she just see Akaician and Kalina sneak off..? She got up and stretched, her mouth gaping open in a yawn as her tongue curled at the end. When she was finished, she decided to go out for a 'walk', and track their scents. Spy on 'em. She padded out of camp, and sniffed. When she was sure she caught their scents, she padded in that direction.

Hiding behind the bushes, her brown-furred female watched what was happening with her bright green eyes. She gasped and got ready to spring when a giant wolf, probably one of the cannibals from the scent of him, sprang at Kal. Then Kai-kai knocked him down, and now they seemed to be conversing..? Loopy cannibals...talking calmly with the prey? She though bewilderedly.

Roku, bored, sniffed. He loved the smell of the forest, and the scent of the Sonoma pack. His black fur bristled when he felt they were being watched, and his nose confirmed it with yet another female scent. His shocking blue eyes darted around the forest once again, but all he saw were emeralds... or were they berries? Probably berries, why would emeralds grow on bushes, he wondered. Or maybe they were flying monkey emerald demons with lazer vision. Yum.

[▐ MONARCHY ♥]

Kai laughed, he really laughed! This is a rarity, snce Kai is always worrying about everything besides himself, and more or less following Kali around everywhere. His laugh sounded kinda weird, since of course the mighty hero never really laughed, just sort of listened to Kalina's tingling laugh and padding around, making sure she didn't get into trouble. Though that didn't mean that he was the perfect angel and never got into trouble either, because believe anybody, he definately did. Anyways, furry tree stump? "Hmm, I don't think so buddy. I'm not a cannibal like some,"

[/color] he said, a smug smile appearing on his face. He adjusted his body, so one of his back paws was now on the stomach of his enemy, so he wouldn't be kicked off of course. I mean, what hero actually wants to tell the story and say that he was actually kicked off by his opponent, not like he'd actually tell anyone of course.

Kalina growled happily, an odd thing yes - but it was her similar thing to do. Like when a cat purred, growling happily was her equivilent to that. Her brown eyes danced happily as she watched Akaician tackle his enemy, and of course pin him down better. She kneaded the ground, another odd thing for a dog to do, but she did - even though she had almost never seen a cat in her life, at least when she could remember. Only as a puppy had she ever met a cat, and she could barely remember what the darn thing looked like, but probably it had made a bigger impact on her of course. The white wolf let her eyes dart to where the cannibal was looking. Green eyes? They weren't berries, or emeralds. Wait, was it a wolf? Green eyes weren't common - at all. It was mostly brown, gold, and the occasional blue-eyed guy like Kai. But green? No. There were only three wolves in Sonoma with green eyes. Heather, Star and Sadie. Sadie was nursing currently, so wouldn't be out of camp, Heather was an elder so she wasn't allowed out of camp, Star on the other hand. She wasn't technically allowed out of camp, but she would sneak out anyways.

Since Kai was keeping the cannibal busy, she snuck out behind the bushes. She snuck quietly, her body close to the ground. Her paws purposely touched the ground very lightly, not stepping on anything to make sure that Star didn't hear her. She saw Star's fur, there, her face into the bush watching them. She walked up behind the princess, standing up a bit more. Kalina was naturally very light footed, so this had been very easy for her. She smiled lightly, her brown eyes sparkling. "Watcha doin' outta camp princess?"[/color] she barked, her eyes dancing with amusement. Maybe she should throw her to the cannibal, it would definately teach little star a lesson. [/blockquote]

[PuppyWuffyKins]

"Oof. Get that paw off my belly, tree stump! Or your face is going to meet last night's supper. Which I think was one of your pack mates," the cannibal protested- he was feeling nauseous with the added pressure on his stomach. He had already felt sick earlier that day- he just ignored it and offered to take the border guarding position today- besides, if he did up chuck, he'd rather be alone doing it. And if he ever had any reason to hate Akaician; being forced to puke would be it.

Rokujirayia attempted to throw Akaician off because of the nausea he felt, but of course the paw stopped him, like it was supposed to. Too bad the paw was the reason he was struggling- and of course moving around made him more nauseous by the second. He stopped moving and groaned. While he did so, his eyes followed Kalina- who was a ghost in his bad vision- to behind the bushed, where the flying monkey emerald demons with lazer vision were.

----When you wish upon a star...----

And like Roku, Starrichi's eyes followed Kalina- but only so far before moving back to Akaician and Roku. Getting tired of standing, she slowly- and silently- sat down as she tried not to rattle the bushes. She was enjoying watching this.

Perking her ears as far forward as they would go to hear the two males "talking", she almost laughed as she heard the cannibal suggest he would regurgitate onto Kai. That would be hilarious-if not a big gross- to watch. "Keep him pinned, Akaician!" She muttered to herself, "rooting" for Akacian- until she jumped, rattling the bushes, as she go her face scratched by the branches and leaves turning around and standing up, fur raised, only to see Kalina there. "None of your business why I'm out here," she growled angrily to the white wolf, sitting down huffily and thrusting her muzzle back into the bushes, not even noticing the small pricks of blood slithering down her face.

* furry tree stump of doom

Kai glowered at the cannibal. How rude he was, to say something like that. It obviously wasn't one of his pack mates, and he knew it. They took head counts before bed, and before breakfast. Everyone was always there, and had been their last night, and in the morning. "Eh, fine. Wouldn't want the cannibal to barf up a bunny rabbit," he saidmoving his paws swiftly onto the male's limbs and stepped on his tail with a back paw. The tail always worked. They never liked the paw on the tail. It hurt to much, like running into a wall. It hurt.

* puffy white ghosts with chestnut eyes

Kalina scoffed. Not her business? Everything was her business. And if it wasn't, she made it her business. So this, was obviously her business because of the way she made things that weren't her business into her business so they were her business then to say they were her business. "Yes it is, I'm pretty sure a little alpha stated that his Night Princess wasn't allowed to leave camp, at all,"

[/b] she mused, "Or did that little princess forget about that?" she said, smirking. Nobody ever said Kal was nice. No, no, no. [/blockquote][/size]

[PuppyWuffyKins]

Roku heaved a sigh of relief before taking in a sharp breath at the paw on the tail; smart little wolfie, this tree stump was. Roku glared up at Akaician, all sarcasm gone. "Look, are you going to leave or what? Get somebody to keep me here while you make a little breakaway like your little girlfriend? 'Cause if you noticed, she left. She went in the direction of the flying-monkey-emerald-demons with lazer-vision, over there." Roku waved his nose in Kalina and Starrichi's general direction. After a few minutes he sighed and went limp- wincing as that put a tad more pressure on his tail. This tree stump was just too smart... Roku would never get out alive unless the stump was merciful, too. He'd just have to patiently wait for his fate.

WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR...

"Oh, come on, Kalina. I'm pretty sure you sneaked out without permission, too. You're just not the kinda wolf to stay up in a boring, stuffy camp," Starry's reply came. Can't stay mad at Kalina; no, no, no. That would just mean Kalina would rat her out more likely. Just play it calm and smooth... As long as Kalina didn't annoy her. 'Besides, she's smart. If she ratted me out, I'm sure she'd be questioned about how she found me. We'd both be in trouble; Akacian too...' Starry blinked and continued to watch Kai and Roku. Roku looked annoyed, and then rejected. Did he surrender or something? Then she noticed- the tail hold. Ouch.

[▐ MONARCHY ♥]

Akaician blinked his eyes. Kalina had left? Interesting, he hadn't seen that. He was a terrific hero, wasn't he? Listening to all the stereotypes. While good guy fights villian, good guy looses damsel in distress. Yup. He ignored that, surely Kal had a good reason for making Kai a stereotype, he would pout about it later how he was trying to break the mold, and yet she made him fit perfectly in it. "Er, no? And she is not my girlfriend!"

[/color] he barked, "And I'm not sure what I'll do with you yet. Hmmm, maybe I should take you back to the pack and see what the alpha will do with you..." he pondered, that was actually a good idea. "Yes, I think I'll do that..." He looked around for a moment, and saw Kal's fur through the not so dense bushes. "Kaaaleeeeeena, come heeereeee," he howled, looking back at Roku.

Kalina rolled her eyes. Star was sooo typical. Everyone always was nice to Kali - who happened to have a short fuse to go along with her long tail. "Sooo, I'm not the little Princess of Sonoma," she threw back. Sure, she wasn't allowed out of camp, but that's because she's a disaster waiting to happen, like the rolling down the hill and running in the cannibal and being called a snack, lunch and dinner. She twitched her ears, hearing her name. "Come on Star, out into the clearing," she barked, nipping at Starrichi's back paws to get her moving.[/size][/blockquote]

[PuppyWuffyKins]

"Well," Roku snorted. "Your alpha will either want me dead, or as a hostage. My pack doesn't care about me though. Why else would they just throw me out here to stand guard? They hate me. And I wouldn't have it any other way." Roku sighed, then swatted at a butterfly on his nose... which actually happened to be a bee with flower petals stuck on it's wings. And now Roku had a needle sticking out of his bleeding nose. He groaned in annoyance, and turned his head to watch the bushes.

WHEN YOU WISH, WHEN YOU WISH, WHEN YOU WISH, UPON A STAR!

Starry growled with aggression at her back paws being nipped, but followed Kalina none the less. She sighed in defeat- because that's what she wanted everyone to think; that she was defeated, that she gave up. Boy, would they be wrong. 'I mean, I came out here following their scents, and that's a good thing, right? Surely dad would be proud of me for catching them in danger. There's no way he can punish me! Starrichi fought the urge to grin, and focused on looking defeated and caught.
