Yeah, I am. I don't care if they're happy with me anymore. I don't need to change because they want me to.

The merging process stopped.
The Adrian-thing looked puzzled. "Oh. If that's the case, then... Spoilsport!" And a moment later, the thing melted off Adrian's body, turning back to its primary components.
The shaman interrupted his quiet snoring. "Hm? So? Looks like you *did* know what to do with your life, after all." He yawned, revealing a very weathered dentition. "Anything else you could be useful to yourself with?"

Adrian looked around puzzled, Did that really just happen?

No, I think I got the message loud and clear. What was that thing? Adrian shuddered and continued to look around nervously, as if the thing was going to reappear somewhere in the hut.

The old canine chuckled. "My that was you., Or, rather, that part of you who would bury your true nature to please your owners' wishes. I just gave it life, so that you could see it and face it, instead of laying down on some bed and talk to a stranger. I am happy that it worked."

That's...that's incredible. Thank you sir.
Adrian was still a little on edge but he was pretty sure that there weren't going to be any more unexpected suprises. He still wanted to get out of this place though, he needed some fresh air and time to let everything sink in.
I really should be going, thank you for your time, I'll be sure to come back if I need help with anything.

''Well okay...but I know I am not thinking cuz....wait...why are there echoes whenever I speak?'' Mae asked, suddenly taking notice of her words bouncing off walls she wasn't able to perceive in the darkness. ''Hara...I don't think I'm thinking this time. What would be your advice now?'' Mae asked. She never realized that her mind was now speaking, and outside her physical being just sat still, with her eyes closed and mouth shut, not uttering anything.

E.R. nodded dumbly at her question. "Uhh, yup. Of course, dear. It's a prerequisite if you want to work on this island. Why ask?"

Tiara laughed and caressed his cheek once more. ''Of course I know that. I was just wondering if you would like to show me the waters around here while waiting for our meal? don't think we can just bum here on the beach all day can we?'' she said, some playfulness slowly creeping into her tone. She playfully used a finger to tug on his collar. ''So...how 'bout it?'' she said, using a paw to stroke his chest.

Lars awoke from a short nap after the invigorating massage by his two mates. He smiled sleepily at Diana and Athena as he stretched his hulky build. He gave each a kiss and went on to tend to his lobsters. ''Wow...I guess that depth had taken a toll on me huh....how long have I been asleep for?'' he asked, taking a cooked lobster from the grill and carefully scooping the meat out.

((OOC: Told TMH how i was going to make the post, but apparently he had to leave...for 5 hours. =w= Ffff.....ffuuu...))

Charlie’s eyes suddenly snapped open, she had rested to the point where her body refused to rest anymore. “Well, alright then” she muttered, proceeding to groggily sit upright and stand up. She stretched as the clean white sheets over her exposed body fell to the ground, pooling at her feet. She gently rubbed her back and head. “Oww my head…” She said, beginning to rub her backside. “Oww…” She continued to mutter, shaking it off and grabbing her clean set of clothes. She began to move along to the fountain at the middle of the rather empty village. She stepped under the crystal blue cascading stream, washing out her matted fur.

After a few minutes, she was finished with cleaning her fur. She dried off, and put on her clean clothes. "I hope everything went okay..." She said, setting off to find the missing half-wolf.

Balkan sat on the bed "I'm dizzy, hurt and tired." He looked around "Hello, uncle!"
"Hello, nephew, are you feeling well?"
"Well enough!" the half-wolf rubbed his forehead "I need to talk to you."
"Good enough." Valken replied "I wanted to you as well. About what you said to the Firstborn."
"I meant it." Balkan said "I want you to lead the wolves to a better future."
"I... see." Valken bowed "If that is your wish, then I will do my best to continue what you began, Ambassador!"
Balkan bowed lightly "Honor to you, Chieftain!"
Valken nodded "Come, Ambassador Balkan, we must bring the news to the population."
The Ambassador bowed lightly "As you wish, Chieftain Valken!"
Valken glanced at the shaman and went out, followed by Balkan.

As Charlie walked through the village, she stopped. She noticed a large group of wolves surrounding a certain hut which she recognized as the shaman hut. She quickly made her way to the group and attempted to make her way around the large wolves. Soon, she began to push through to the front of the crowd. She smiled as she saw Balkan, standing proudly before the wolves. She smiled and waved to the proud warrior.

Drake was going to answer, but the crowd seemed to go silent. When he felt the silence was done, he turned back to the ferret and said with a smile "Most of this crowd is made of locals." He then knelt down and to get closer to her level. "you want me to ask one for you?"

Esper · Post by **Esper** » Fri Mar 23, 2012 4:27 pm

Tacitē smiled weakly at the man and wrote again, "Please, if you could. I fear I'm too shy..." Tacitē held the pad up again and squeaked nervously. She looked around at the others, afraid of the crowd.

Sat Mar 24, 2012 1:55 am

"alright then." Ha stood up and tapped one of the locals on the shoulder and said "excuse me. I know this is an exciting moment for this village, but there's a tourist here who would like to know a little more about the island. Could you help her out?"

Esper · Post by **Esper** » Sat Mar 24, 2012 7:43 am

The ferret fuffed indignantly, she wasn't a tourist, she was just kicked out of the house. Tacite shrunk back as the large Lycaon turned too her, "Hello, sir... Are you well?"she wrote quickly, waiting for the lager animal to speak to her.

She smiled as she saw Balkan, standing proudly before the wolves. She smiled and waved to the proud warrior.

A few seconds later, the elder shaman joined Balkan and Valken and spoke loud.
"Wolves of the Green ring and Tricana, a new Chieftain was chosen!" he pointed at Valken "Valken, son of Fen'rir, step in front of your people!"
Valken stepped forward.
"Valken!" The Shaman spoke once more "Are you ready to take the responsibilities of a Chieftain of the wolf village?"
The new Chieftain raised his paw and put in on his heart "I am ready to lead the Wolves to a better future and I'm ready to fight their good until my last breath! I vow my loyalty to them as they are to vow theirs to me!"
"Very well!" The elder shaman turned to the young shamans "Bring the paint! We must to finish his marks, for He, Valken, is no longer the Beta-wolf, no longer the right hand of the Chieftain!" two female shamans came with bowl of paint and brushes and immediately began to add symbols to Valken's markings "Valken, you are now Chieftain of the wolves of Tricana, wear your title with Pride and Honor!"
Soon enough the two females finished with the marking and stepped back, bowing.
Valken looked at his people, took a deep breath and howled. Balkan and the shaman waited for a few more seconds and joined the howl, followed by the crowd itself. It lasted about a minute. After they finished Valken turned to Balkan and spoke.
"Balkan, son of Val'kir, listen to me! You fought for our destiny, our kin, even after our behavior against you. Today, you taught us an important lesson." He put a paw on his shoulder "I will honor your request and I'll give you the title of 'Ambassador'. You will represent the wolf kin throughout the island, yet a condition comes with that title."
Balkan bowed his head lightly "What is the condition, Chieftain?"
"Conditions, actually." The new Chieftain smiled "First, You can go whenever you please, yet mind that your actions will affect us. Second, You have to spend more time here - at least 3 days every two weeks. Do you agree on those?"
The half-wolf nodded "I do, Chieftain!"
"Very well!" Valken let go of Balkan and turned back to the crowd "Now that we settled this matter, we must to attend to properly honor our passed Chieftain Fen'rir." He glanced at Balkan "The news about us will have to wait until tomorrow, Ambassador. Until then, You and lycaons are free to stay." The Chieftain raised his voice "Now, let us attend to our duties."
A few whispers could be heard throughout the crowd, others were discussing something very quietly, pointing at Balkan and Charlie, but whenever the new Chieftain dismissed them, the wolves returned to their duties.
Balkan walked up to Charlie.
"You rested well, Chierlie?"

Charlie smiled her bright smile as she watched the rather wakened half-wolf approach her. “Hey, you’re looking good.” She said, chuckling and punching his strong arm playfully and looking up into the half wolf’s eyes. “So did you do it?…” She whispered, placing her paw on Balkan’s face. “Did you finally do away with Fen'rir?”

The Moon Howler · Post by **The Moon Howler** » Sat Mar 24, 2012 2:15 pm

Balkan nodded "Thanks and yes - It's over." He shook his head "Didn't you heard the new Chieftain?"

Charlie smirked as she stared at Balkan, a very strange feeling consuming her as she blankly gazed into the half-wolfs eyes. She took Balkans paw in her own and gently swung her paw back and forth, her smile widening as she suddenly began blushing.

“I’m sorry what did you say?”

The Moon Howler · Post by **The Moon Howler** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 10:07 am

Balkan smiled and gave her a light kiss on the cheek "I said it's alright. Everything's over, but we have to stay 'till tomorrow."

simple things · Post by **simple things** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 10:25 am

Charlie nodded her head and looped her arm around Balkan’s neck, resting her head on his powerful chest muscles. “Why do we have to stay till tomorrow?” The Lycaon girl asked, smiling as she looped her other arm around the half-wolfs neck, pressing herself to him.

“Not that I’m complaining.”

The Moon Howler · Post by **The Moon Howler** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 10:32 am

Balkan wrapped his arm around Charlie's waist and gave her a kiss on the other cheek "We have to stay and pay our respects to Fen'rir. It's a tradition." he stroke her mane with his free paw "I'm warning you though, it won't be that kind of respect you're used to give to someone recently passed out."

simple things · Post by **simple things** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 11:35 am

Charlie nodded her head and smiled yet again. “Okay, it’s fine. It’s only the right thing to do….” she said, gently releasing her arms from around Balkan’s neck. “C’mon, I want to see where Victor is. If that’s okay.” Charlie said, roughly slapping Balkan’s backside as she walked away slowly.

“What the heck…is wrong with me…”

"Hope so. You keep both eyes and a third on your son, human. I have to go home now." Then he turned his attention to the sky. "High Shaman, please bring me home." A moment later, he was gone, as if he had never been there.

"Oy, that hurts, you know!" Balkan protested, following Charlie "Also I did smell him somewhere around."

"Oh, you don't worry about him." The man said "He's not here anymore. Prolly back at Salisgrave or Arcadia." His voice softened "And hello there, boy, happy to see you on your feet after those hits you took."
The Half-wolf smiled "Good to see ya too Dimitar. I hope you enjoyed that fight, cause I'm not doin' it again."
Dimitar laughed "God, let's hope that won't happen. So how about I call for an evac chopper?"
"No." Balkan answered.
"What?"
"I said no." Balkan explained "There's one more thing I have to do before that. We will go tomorrow."
Dimitar nodded "Very well. I have enough charge for one call, so I'll call our ride tomorrow."

They walked along the path, accompanied by the sounds of the seagulls and the waves against the cliffs.
When they reached Portsmouth, Levi found himself staring at a village that could have been found in '700 paintings. A few houses set against a cliff, some of them actually carved into the rock. not one antenna in sight, not a car. A port where two small boats were tugged. A small plaza with what looked like a tavern and some shops. A sandy beach decorated with nets. People engaged in their business.
And dogs: german shepherds scattered all around, not a member of another breed. If there were other species of pets, they were well hidden. a couple of horse-drawn carts were waiting on the main streeet that biforked in a T -an extremity running from the plaza to the port, the other to the cliff.
"Like it, Levi?" Justine asked.
