HPU: Blue Peak Shore

''Ah I see...'' Lars replied, now having a big horizontal blush across his face. He was thoroughly enjoying himself as they scrubbed him clean from every dirt and impurity on his body. And being a German Shepherd, his tail was extremely thick and bushy. The Lycaon girl was doing an excellent job at cleaning and scrubbing his tail.

''Hmmm yeah. You might get recognized at the spas in the city for your talent honestly.'' he said, giving her a thumbs up. ''Maybe one day I'll take you there and let 'em see wha-''

At that point he remembered something. He still had a chip implanted into his leg. If he goes back, they might seize him....and torture him. Was he, after all, fated to stay here for all eternity? It didn't seem so bad.

''Ah I mean....yeah...you should've been to the city. It's real nice yeah. Keep doing what y'all are doin'. In my opinion, you ladies are doing a real good job.'' he smiled, lifting his paw and giving the female in front of him a gentle stroke to her chin.

These creatures didn't giggle or act like girlies.
The one in front of Lars, thiugh, didn't retract or looked annoyed. Instead, she showed him that exotic lips-only smile.
"We have what we need, here. But if you think you could make us a favor... Would you really?"

thrasherblades · Post by **thrasherblades** » Sun Dec 11, 2011 11:40 am

Lars was stunned. This was the first time she had asked him for a favour. After all that silence, she finally broke out. Did she need something from him.

''Oh...well I could try m'lady....what would be your request?'' Lar asked, putting his paw on her arm.
--------------
Meanwhile, back at the helicopter, Mae was getting a little restless.

''Uhm....are we there yet?'' she asked the pilot.

"This time we weren't in such a hurry, ma'am," the pilot said. "But here we are, look!"
Seen from above, Arcadia was like a bunch of pebbles scattered here and there in the midst of the forest.
The helicopter started its descent
---
"Allow us the honor to bear your pups," said the female

"I might sound a bit off, but it's because I have all those problems on my head, but I say that you haven't seen either the Grove or the view of the island from some other parts of the island..." his voice lowered drastically "... like my Father's unofficial grave..." he muttered quietly.

The man shook his head "Nevermind me!"

Dimitar heard the helicopter once more from the direction of Arcadia
"Now what!?" he exclaimed, turning to the German Lycaon with him "Charlie, come with me. Let's hope to catch the chopper this time."
He turned and ran towards Arcadia, yelling at Charlie "Come on!"

Mae stared at the microscopic village from the chopper but the huts and buildings became more apparent as the vehicle descended to land. It looked beautiful. A safe haven tucked away in the middle of nowhere. "Huh....this doesnt seem so bad. After all, this is ten times better than prison too..." Mae told Salina, keeping her paws and nose pressed against the window, wagging her tail.
-------------
Lars eyes widened like tea cup saucers. Did he hear her correctly? Did she just say that she wanted pups?!

....Sure. What's he gonna lose anyway?
"Yes....I think...." Lars said. All this added up to drive his senses up the wall. He leaned forward and zoned in onto the Lycaon's muzzle. He gave her a long kiss and reclined back to look at jet beautiful face.

"Do not see it as a prison, or a confinement," Salina said. "That is a place of peace and for healing. All troubled souls, like Randy, come here to find a place in life, just as you're seeking yours."
---
The female returned with strength, though she acted controlled, not lost in passion. The other female kept scrubbing Lars' back.
When the two separated, the first female said, "German Shepherds are a sacred breed. Their blood gave new life to Tricania. You belong to the breed, you are strong an healthy. Your offspring will be a fine addition to Arcadia, and a sign of you entering your new life."

Charlie nodded her head at the large man’s words, “I understand sir, it’s a tough thing, it really is.” Charlie said, moving slightly closer to Dimitar. Then, the Lycaons ears perked, as she heard fast spinning of blades nearby.

“It’s the helicopter dude…” Charlie said, attempting to hint Dimitar on, to leave Arcadia and finally leave the Jungle.

“Right!” Charlie said with an enthusiastic nod, before she sprinted off with Dimitar, running straight back to the whirring helicopter.

The helicopter landed in the glade nearby the village.
"Off you go, guys," said the pilot.
Kaiser held Mae's paw. "Now it's up to you, my dear. This is a path you will walk on your legs, in the company of the shamans. be strong and remember: I will be there for you."

The Moon Howler · Post by **The Moon Howler** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 10:37 am

Luckily for them, Dimitar and Charlie were close to the glade where the helicopter landed and soon they appeared out of the forest.
The man ran to the helicopter, waving his hands rapidly, signalizing him to wait with both hands and yelling.
"Wait!" he was yelling "For Christ's Sake, WAIT!"

The co-pilot stepped down the aircraft. "Dimitar! What's wrong with you, buddy? You look like we stepped into a minefield."

The Moon Howler · Post by **The Moon Howler** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 11:06 am

Dimitar managed to reach the helicopter and stopped holding to his knees, catching his breath "If I... have missed... one more... helicopter..." he began, but stopped to calm his breathing.
It didn't took him long to do so.
"What's the big Idea? What exactly happened? Who were these knuckleheads who attacked?" he asked the pilot,
then his attention turned to Kaiser, E.R and Mae "And when did you three came with the choppah? I don't remember anyone telling me you were gone!"

''I promise. For our pups and our future Kai. I will persevere like you;ve never seen before and I will walk in the path of righteousness. I hope we can meet again...'' Mae said, leaning forward to give him a hug.

''Dimitar....you won't believe this but...I was one of the knuckleheads who attacked...and I'm so sorry. I've come here to seek the forgiveness of those I hurt. I hope you'll forgive me...'' Mae asked, bowing her head.

Lars had a huge blush across his face as the Lycaon girl returned the kiss. Not only was he excited, but he was a little confused and nervous about his decision. He would have to be a father soon, and the girl her wife. He had never felt the warmth of even his own late Mother before....would he take the risk despite the lack of knowledge? He decided to follow his feelings.

''Tell me Lass....'' Lars said, using a paw to gently stroke her cheek. ''What is your name?''

Dimitar scratched his beard "You lied to Spencers... You lied to me... yet..." he sighed heavily "Just to tell you - your pal' here is dead..." he looked at his hands "I personally took him to Arcadia so that they can give him a proper burial..."
The Man glanced at the husky "Under other circumstances I doubt I would've forgiven you... but since you're here now, I guess Spencer have forgiven you and I trust that man enough to know that you have fixed your mistake..." He smiled lightly "So I forgive you, Mae."
He turned to the Pilot and the rest of the canines "Any of you want to add something?"

"My name is Diana."

Kaiser and E.R. saluted sharply and both said, "No, Sir,NO!"
The pilot just shrugged. "My job was only to deliver the guys here. So, if you don't need me, Sir, I'll go back to the resort. There's a lot of cleanup to do." He went to the helicopter, giving his goodbyes one last time to Victor, Salina and Randy.

Dimitar tapped on the glass "Make sure to pick up my "escort" 'till nightfall from the wolf village, okay?"
He then turned the canines and raised an eyebrow "Let's go to the village, pups."

Kaiser and E.R. joined the pilot on the helicopter. As the vehicle took off, the German Shepherd waved one last time to Mae.
The group followed Dimitar into Arcadia.

Charlie heard the Siberian huskie's words; she was worried about her father’s safety. And knowing that this dog helped with the retaliation, she became angry fast. The Lycaon's eyes widened at the sudden impulse, her paws balling into fists and her face becoming flustered fast.

Charlie then began to push past Dimitar's side, the world around her becoming a blur and hazy. Her pace then quickened as she approached Mae, only her breathing, and the fast pounding of her heart could be heard by her. Suddenly, Charlie moved like lightning, and shoved right on top of the husky, pushing the pair down to the ground. The Lycaon swiftly thrust her paw around the huskie's neck and held her down hard.

“DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE DONE!” Charlie shouted into the huskie's face, her silk fur sticking to the side of her mouth slightly.

“My father works at the resort, if I find out anything happened to him, one single hair out of place. I’ll rip out your throat and feed your body to sharks. If you don’t believe me, I’m Black Operations CXC3 TOPLINE. One word from my moth to the team, they’ll hunt you down, and have your hiney in jail until you rot.” Charlie finished, baring her sharp canines to the husky, before using her superior strength to roughly push away from Mae, get back up, and walk back to Dimitar's side.

"Oh and thanks for the heads up Victor. I totally wanted to be left in the Jungle for all these hours." Charlie said, before shaking her head slowly and watching the male Lycaon.

Edmund was grinning as he steps out of the Store, having just purchased spare batteries, lots of them, for his digital camera and video camera and some extra rolls of film for his back-up camera, it was always ncessary to have a back-up! He took a deep breath and started to wander about, he would so before going and inquiring about the recent Incident on the island and his tail wagged as he thought of getting such a story!

The red headed wolf was now turning his head constantly at the two female canines. Both of them were beautiful. Both of them were uber cute in their discreet yet charming personalities. And both were super smexy as well. He couldn't decided which to mate with first. His head was about to explode.

He took a sniff at Athena, running his muzzle up her arm and to her chest. ''So you're Athena. You definetly have the looks of the goddess herself m'lady.'' Lars casually commented. He put his arms around the waists of the two ladies, thinking a little. ''I guess you ladies DO take this kinda seriously, from the way you express it verbally. But isn't it against the law of nature to have two mates? I mean...it wouldn't feel genuinely right if I were to mix blood with pretty Diana here first and then you....wouldn't that be...wrong?'' Lars asked, trying to clear the doubts on his mind.

Mae fell with a yelp as Charlie pinned her down. Her first instinct was to beat the crap out of her, but figured that she had strength which dominated hers in the end. She closed her eyes in dissapointment as she let her bare her teeth at the husky.

''Your father isn't hurt I can assure you.'' she said, getting up and dusting herself. ''I was about to put a bullet in my head just now, and my dear friend here stopped me. Spencers has given me a chance to redeem myself. That's why I'm here, Lycaon. I'm here to let myself shine in the light of all that is good. If you do not believe me it is fine.

both females raised an eyebrow in symmetrical gestures.
"It would be wrong to conceive a new life in hatred," Diana said.
"It would be wrong to conceive a new life in violence," Athena said with equal dispassionate voice.
Diana lifted Lars' chin. "We do not hate, and we do not fear, that is our creed. Passions generate jealousy, which generates hatred."
"We honor life by continuining it," Athena said, reclining softly her head against the german Shepherd's back. "Do as the honor, mate with us love and devotion. We will love and raise our children in the ways of the shamans."

''Amazing...this culture of yours...is nothing like I've ever seen.'' Lars said with awe. To continue life. What a simple yet profound concept. His heart pounded as he got more excited. Morever, he began imagining his offspring.

''If that's the case, I will mate both of you. It is an honor to continue this circle of life.'' Lars said, using his tongue to lick Athena's face.

''Shall we?''

''So...this is Arcadia huh? Looks -pretty scenic. I wonder what I'll be doin; here. What do ya think Salina?'' Mae asked.

Dimitar was brief, but clear when he spoke "Nice stunt, but if anyone even dares to do that again, I'll make sure to drag him or her in the village by the tail..." he didn't even turn to the canines, but he was sure they got the message

Since the others had left, Levi had been wandering exploring within the resort. He had had enough adventure to last at least a couple hours. He was carrying on a conversation with Barty in his head and didn't even notice the wolf in front of him. He bumped into him and fell to the ground.
He looked at the wolf, smiled and rubbed the back of his neck with his paw as he said "Sorry about that. I wasn't paying attention."

After Colin had turned over the two criminals to the security staff, he'd decided to take what he saw as a well-deserved nap. He found a a lot of ways to justify lounging around, but this time he'd actually earned it. With that knowledge, he'd found a a sunny spot on a wide concrete wall, set his sling off to the side, and dozed off. But now, a few hours later, he was awoken by the sound of talking very nearby him. Sleepily, Colin rolled onto his side and looked down over the edge, at Levi and Edmund. "Oi! I'm a' tryin' ta sleep up here!" he called, before sticking his tongue out at the pair and rolling back on to his side.

I tell ya, some people. Can't a hero get his sleep around here?

Edmund grunted as he ran into the cat and was pushed bck the slightest bit, then helped Levi up and dusted him off. He smiled as well and said ''Oh no, dont feel at blame, it was my fault really! I'm so absent minded when wandering a new area!'' Edmund let out a small laugh and then shook Levi's paw ''My names Edmund, Edmund Decus Strauss, lovely to meet you!''

I'll get right back to you though!" And so the wolf turned back to Levi and began "Okay, first off, where were you when the incident happened?"

"We shall start at my temple," a female white rabbit, her body dyed with elegant blue tattoos, said. Her voice was calm, soothing. "I am Hara, Mae. Please be welcome if you feel welcome."

Mae stared in awe of this tattoo covered slender rabbit. The patterns were of intricate waves and they seemed to interweave and explode out into many other complicated patterns after her eyes had traced one of them to the end. She looked up and resumed eye contact with her and with a smile she nodded her head.

''I....I definetly feel welcome...thank you Hara.'' Mae said with a sweet smile. ''And those tatoos....they're really awesome. Is it okay if I get that one of your arm on my arms and back?'' Mae asked, pointing to a beautiful pattern on the rabbit's arm.

Randy gave a slight sheepish look. ''Sheesh Mae...you're supposed to be here to reflect on your actions, not go on a tour...'' Randy mumbled playfully.
