From the Borders

[Shadow Angel (Armyangel93)]

The fae arrived from the Borderlands and walked through the arch of the mall. There was no door anymore because of the fire, so it was now an arch. The black and white femme made her way into what looked like an old pet store. She looked around. She saw a small blue thing in the ash. She ran over to it and recovered it. It was a chew toy, that had a few burns in it, but was still a good toy. She brought to the center of the mall, where there was a fountain.

She dropped the toy in fornt of the foutain and jumped in it's waters. She dived into the waters and looked down to see change. Hmm... humans deposit there circles to a fountain? She thought. She bobbed her head up and swam under the fountain waterfall (coudn't tihnk of another word, lol.) and washed her fur. Finally... water. She thought.

Silent paws tredded over to where the femme was in the water. The brute sniffed the toy she had dropped and then put his front paws on the edge of the fountain. He looked at the fea and wondered, 'is this the alpha fea? ' He studied her a bit longer and then decided that the best way to find out was always to ask. He opened his tan and white maw to say," Miss? Are you the alpha fea of these lands? My name is Seeker and i would like to be the Male Beta..." He watched her curiously for an answer.

Massive ivory paws made a steady rhythm against the ashen ground of the mall. Angelic paws now growing a darker shade with every step the brute took. The putrid scent of the ash covered city had now grown softer as he allowed himself time to get used to it. Ebony snout twitching as he tried to catch scents other than the burnt smell that was flooding in. It didn't take long as nostrils flared and the scent of two others became more aware to the large beast. The invisible path he was taking now reconstructed into leading him to these two unfamiliar canines. The mall that had once been glorious and busy with people now laid empty with only a few objects left standing. The faint scent of water reached his delicate nose and it was a smell that had been gone for quite some time now.

Dark honey optics gazed around, searching for these two other souls that seemed to be apart of this pack that he had just claimed. Yes, he was now known as the alpha male of the North and seemed to fit the part at his standing of 30 inches if not a little more. The scents became more bold as he found himself growing closer to the pair. Gait being an elegant and quite smooth motion that not many others could possibly carry. The massive ivory carcass of the newly made alpha having a straight and proud posture. His pads already growing black from his constant walk through the ashen city. Paws made quick due of the length of pavement beneath them as he found himself before two canines in a matter of seconds.

One was an ebony and ivory dame that seemed to be smaller than him, as well as the male now conversing with her. The brute seemed to be a mix of sort but also not one of another pack trying to waltz onto his land. Floppy ivory auds perked proud 'pon his large skull at the brute's words. 'Alpha Female? I think not as I would have known this.' Athan has caught a glimpse of this very female no too long ago at the borders. She seemed to be more of the Beta than the Alpha. Jaws parted to allow a set of cool, gruff lyrics to play for the two. "I would say not for I am the Alpha of these lands. I believe she is the Beta Female and you seem to wish to be her Beta Male." His words were not harsh as these two were now his kin and he would treat them as such.

Curiosity was not his manner of handling things but he did wish to see her reaction when he said he was alpha. Possibly not knowing yet that another had claimed these lands for his own. Dial turned to the brute as these new set of words were more for him than the dame. "You seem like a good brute to take the North's position as Beta Male. If that is what you want than the position is yours if the dame has no disagreement." Cool gaze was turned to the dame as he made sure she knew what he was stating. Of course, the brute would still have the position if the dame disagreed but he wished to give her some sort of control in the matter. "Hopefully, she will not abject to the situation.' His wished for no trouble in his pack as they were suppose to be the strongest of the four groups.

At the askance of her being alpha female, she chuckled. "No, as our alpha has stated. I had no male with me at the time I came here, so I declared myself Beta Female. And, I have no objections to you being Beta Male." She spoke, clearly. Her fur was wet, now. She knew that having her fur wet was a great way to cool down.

She smiled to the Alpha and bowed. "Greetings, alpha." She said, withdrawing her bow. She was glad to finally have males in the pack. She didn't like the quiet, nor being alone.

The tan and white brute set all four paws down on the ground once more. He smiled at the fea," sorry to have mistaken you." He said gently. Seeker swiftly turned his head at the voice. It was not harsh but full of athority. Seeker bowed his head and then looked at the brute. His pelt white and his stature large and strong. As the white brutes words reached Seeker's ears he nodded, yes this was definately the alpha. When the white one asked if he would take the Beta Male position if the fea had no objection, Seeker answered gratefully," thank you, i would love to take postion as beta male." he looked at the fea once more and said,"thank you for agreeing." he smiled.

"It's all my pleasure." The black and white border collie mix smiled. She had no objections whatsoever. He was quite the handsome brute and would be her partner, so of course their were no objections.

She smiled to the alpha. "So, now we have three pack members. Great!" She stated and wagged her tail.

[Jersey]

Jersey had, reluctantly, entered the borders unannounced to find herself here, in some sort of burned down building. The scent of ash clouded her sense of smell and made it difficult to detect anything over the over-whelming and sickening scent. She would have stumbled upon the 3 dogs if they had not been carrying on a conversation.

Jersey remained hidden behind some blackened rubble. pricking her ears, she listen to the words exchanged between the 3. Nothing too interesting, 1 was being appointed Beta male and the other seemed to already have the female position. Well, that sums it down to one, the Alpha. Her deep green eyes narrowed, not with hostility, but with curiosity.

Black and tan cranium lowered slightly as she decided she had better step from behind her hiding place before she was detected and considered a threat. Straightening up, Jersey stepped lightly from behind the rubble and revealed herself to the dogs. She kept in check that her head was lower that the Alphas and a bit more than the Betas as well. She was a bit of a distance away and to the left of them all. Her deep green gaze shifted between all 3 of them, never locking with theirs.

After a few moments she spoke, her eyes still looking them over and calculating every detail she could find. "Hello, my name is Jersey." she said simply. Finally, her gaze rested on the Alpha, a large brute, he seemed fit enough to run the pack but Jersey couldn't be sure just yet. "You are the Alpha, I assume." She said nodding slightly. She didn't believe in bowing, it was too degrading for her.

"I wish to join your pack, that is, of course, with your permission." her gaze was even and her body posture calm yet it was very clear she was anything but comfortably around the dogs as she awaited an answer.
