| | Nimble's head shot up at the other wolf's tone. The stranger had a firm, authoritative way of speaking, her stance strong, confident. She had the appearance of a leader, and Nimble knew to choose her words carefully.
She dipped her head in a respectful fashion. "I'm Nimble Foot," she spoke, her tone calm in spite of the way her mottled fur puffed out nervously. "You can call me Nimble, though. Everyone else does," her voice weakened at the end of her sentence, her uncertain gaze dropping to her paws.

|
| | Nova's cries stopped and viva la Gloria was left worried. So she told smoke step that she will be back. She suddenly saw a wolf with brown fur that looked sad, drinking out of a stream. "Who are you?" Viva la Gloria asked the new wolf. |
|
| | Nimble trotted into the vast expanse of forest, tension rolling away with each step. Her pack was in shambles; an explosion of differing opinions, spurred by the recent boom of human activity in their territory. Even the alphas were at odds.
One side wanted to move, concerned with the safety of the pack. The other, wanted to stay and tough it out. Clinging to familiarity, perhaps?
Then there was Nimble. She was with the silent minority who saw the pros and cons of each argument, stuck in the middle, disregarded.
And that's how she got here. She needed to clear her head. One part of her debated leaving for good, to find another pack. This wasn't a concrete idea, though. Her mind was too jumbled for clear thinking.
She kept moving, finding comfort under the shade of oak trees. She had reached the edge of her pack's territory. A river marked the border. The water was calm, she wished to be the same.
With a deep sigh, she dipped her head and drank from the stream. Her worries were not gone, just temporarily forgotten, still worming through the outskirts of her head. |
|
| | Viva la Gloria had a strike of pity for the wolf. "You can stay here as long as you'd like." Then she heard the pup who she had saved cry. |
|
| | Smoke's Step replies to Viva la Gloria, "I have no idea. He didn't give me any information besides needing me to be a spy. I didn't like the idea, but I had to otherwise he would've kicked me out since I'm not much use for the pack. I'm bad at everything. And apparently bad at being a spy too." She says putting her ears back and putting her head down, facing the ground and looking disappointed in herself.
"I... I can never seem to do anything right in my alpha's eyes..." |
|
| | Night seeker heard a bark and ran towards it, soon seeing a red coated she-wolf with gold flakes and a fox. He put nova in a nearby bush and ran towards the fox pushing it off the cliff it fell down and landed with a bone crushing thud “are you ok?” He asked the She-wolf |
|
| | Hot pepper ran through the forest running away from a fox, she wasn’t a fighter nor brave and to her a fox was horrifying. She got to a cliff and stopped before falling off she wept around to see the fox snarling at her “l-leave m-m-me!” She barked but the fox just stepped closer to her, she stepped back but stopped when she felt the edge |
|
| | Viva la Gloria said to smoke step "what did your alpha want from me." |
|
| | Night seeker took nova from her then said “well sorry to disturb you, but be careful I’ve smelled Fox’s nearby and wolf blood” then picked nova up and started to walk away from them |
|
| | Viva la Gloria picked up nova and gave her to night seeker. "That's my name," she told smokes step. |
|
| | Smoke's Step paws the dirt because of how the conversation went from thriving to wilting and awkward so quickly. "Umm... I think if I remember my pack telling your name correctly, it's Viva la Gloria, right?" She asks, awkwardly but eager to keep the conversation going. |
|
| | Nova looked over at Viva la Gloria and wagged her tail and walked over to her and barked “ma!” |
|
| | When Viva la Gloria saw the black wolf who she gave the pup to, she got superstitious. Maybe these two are spying on my pack, she thought. |
|
| | Nova squeaked and went back behind his leg “sorry she’s a little shy” Night seeker said then looked at Viva la Gloria and said “speaking of names I didn’t get your name, you left to fast” |
|
| | "I am Smoke's Step. Nice to meet you, Night Seeker." She looks down at the pup, "Hello there Nova. You're cute, aren't you?" |
|
| | He looked at the gunmetal coated she-wolf and said “oh forgive me, I’m Night seeker” and nova peeked from behind his leg looking at the She-wolf with curiosity “and this is nova, Any you?” |
|
| | "And who might you be?" Smoke's Step asks the gorgeous black wolf, curious and wanting to put a name to the wolf. |
|
| | He was running through the woods when he bumped into the wolf he met earlier “it’s you!” He said surprised with nova by him |
|
| | Viva la Gloria growled, and asked "who is your alpha," but then another wolf came crashing in. |
|
| | "I was forced to come snoop around here by the alpha of my pack," she calmly explained, slowly lowering her head in submission. "I come baring no harm." |
