Patience is power

Clear is the sky... dim is the light... crisp is the air upon bare touch.

Early was the morn', but time would be wasted if steps were not taken before the sun would fully kiss the earth. 

An adventurous kick was always in this one's step; a yearning to learn more than what she knew kept close in consideration.

Coming of age meant a great deal. No longer would Askari be under the watchful gaze of austere guidance. From here on, she was free to make decisions beneficial to her future and no one else's. 'Twas all refreshing, really. Think of when the tongue is dry and the mouth requires for thirst to be quenched... once the opportunity is standing near, it is hard to object. Of all occasions, this would not be turned away with ease.

Regardless the time of day, Askari had a gentle, but excited bounce to her stride. There was no location set to mind — only high hopes stowed at heart. Where the future would guide, she knew not. But, the more it is thought, a mystery takes the place of question. Who doesn't love a good mystery?

As quick stepped as the stride of the visitor is as determined and swift the guardian. Ragnar strides the path of forestry within his home he had woven over the months now. His destination but the stretch of evergreen lands arching the north and eastern stretch of the mountains of Northfall.

Quiet it were but peaceful it was not for as Elentari healed and Ynness rested in death, the king of these mountains gathered and readied for more battle to come. Peace would not be made until Dragonford dispursed or its leader laid as dead as his daughter now.

So as he takes scent of a stranger, he is far more tense and weary then his usual open and friendly self. He howls to the other to announce his presence near and when he can see the brown and black malted wolf in the distance his banner is raised high and proud at his backside.

“Welcome to the foothills of Northfall, traveler. ”

1... 2... 3... 4... The steady count of each beat that thrummed deep in the pixie's chest. Before the fifth thump, the organ jumped and then went silent.

She was no longer alone.

Askari's optics darted upward, frantically searching the vicinity.

Soon, each hazel hue settled upon the stranger who had called for her attention.

The beats now quickened, toppling over one another in count. Each ear fell flat and the red woman's tail sunk between her legs.

“Oh... I- I wasn't aware there were inhabitants of Northfall. My apologies if I'm trespassing... Really, I mean no ill intent.”

The first instinct when placed in near sight of a possible enemy: plead for mercy so he doesn't tear you to shreds.

Did you get the name Askari from the Serengeti show? There is an Askari on there! BTW, I play Aiolos on Wolf w/ your Xynos, funny!

The small woman looked about frantically before earthy eyes landed upon the blonde in the distance as he made long-legged strides to close the distance between them. Ears flat, tail quick between her legs, the stranger had flipped a switch from her bubbly self into submission when she realized her error.

His golden ears tipping back, his dark lips formed a tight line of I'll content. He didn't mean to frighten her if he had, but their boundaries needed made clear regardless of her delicate personal.

“Our settlement here is still young and the land vast for just my family and I. If you mean no ill intent, you are welcome here with my escort.” Of course, he wouldn't allow her to freely roam around through his families forest, hunting, sleeping and pissing where she pleased. Though newcomers were welcome, even if tensions were high. “I am Ragnar Stormborn, and you, stranger?”

Ah, no.. I think I found it somewhere. Not really sure where, tbh. That is quite amusing, xD. I love Aiolos! He is quite a favored character of mine. Also, so sorry for taking a while to respond! I got caught up with Wolf RPG and forgot this place existed, hah!

“T-thank you...” She stammered, fumbling on the two, simple words. 

Quickly after the embarrassment of her speech, the red woman nodded her politely, a second form of thanks to the man for being merciful of her presence. 

“It is a beautiful land,” She went on, this time finding more confidence in her tone. Still, her figure was kept low. Words would not be the only thing to prove her submission in this state. This was another's land and so she would respect they who owned it. “A pleasure, Ragnar. I am known by the name Askari, if it pleases you.” A second nod then came; an exchange of formal greeting.

Thanks about Aiolos! And I understand. It is quite difficult bouncing around multiple sites myself...

A stammer of words slipped past her lips and he continues to watch the brown and auburn young wolf curiously. “Thank you...” He gave after she had found her voice once more. She remained submissive which was a respectful gesture especially given the fact that she was still a trespasser. Not one he would have much trouble with however and Ragnar was grateful for that. He had enough problems with his neighbors to the south already to have to deal with more.

“It does,” He then began to turn, jutting his muzzle to the side in gesture. “Come Askari, I will show you are forest.” It arced around the northern and Eastern borders of their home and a safe distance from whatever hidden treasures lie among the mountain slopes beyond.
