A White Endless Road...To Nowhere

[gyalia]

Anio didn't answer at first. She wasn't exactly looking for it in the way Raven thought. She needed to know more about it first, so she could figure out exactly what it was. A perfect place wasn't good enough for her. She needed facts. Facts... and to know if the rumors were true. If only wolves could enter paradise. She needed to know if there was any hope for the rest of them... the people she loved and cared about. She couldn't just leave them, leave his work unfinished. He deserved an answer to his asking, at east. The answer of exactly who could join this exclusive club called paradise.

"I'm looking..." She said, almost cryptically. "Just looking..." Her eyes snapped into focus and she she stood up. She couldn't wait any longer. She had waited long enough. She needed to know now.

"If you're coming then come now," She said shortly, but not unkindly. "otherwise it was nice meeting someone decent for a change." She started walking, paying little attention to the biting wind or what Raven's choice was. She wouldn't mind company, but she didn't mind being alone either.

The harsh winds blew across the frozen tundra. As usual, sun set at the worst times. With temperatures far below zero, it was best for a wolf to follow it's instincts (if they have them) and hunker down.

Raven once more shook the small ice that had clung to her fur and stood walking slowly following Anio..
..She knew that herself needed wolves help to make it to paradise but how was this wolf 'just looking..'

the sun was slowly setting as the tempuras lowered rapidly great and with harsh winds biting at her now she could Imagen how much colder it would be

she smelled the air and could get a small nip of it the flower but along with the cold crisp air

Anio didn't want to stop, but it soon seemed that nature itself was against her on this one. The winds were beginning to pick up a more deadly chill, and the sun had almost completely sunk below the horizon, leaving only a trickle of light to see the white endless landscape. She spotted a small cave not far from them, and turned towards it.

"Let's rest." She said, and began to dig out a big enough entrance to the small, cramped cave. Inside, the space was big enough for a couple of wolves, but still small enough to be easily warmed by their body heat for the cold night. Anio stood aside once the entrance had been cleared.

"Go in first so I can seal it when I get in."

[bloodwolf119]

Raven had to trust and slowly she crawled in..
..thank heavens snow was a good insulation

once inside she curled up the harsh winds blew unpacked snow around a snowstorm why oh why was this what she had learned instances kicked in and her body heat increased as it became warmer..

..the dim light shone it was what was left of the sun's rays soon she would awake if the snow storm had subsided

[gyalia]

Anio crawled in and sealed the entrance. She could already feel the warmth fill the small hollow, and curled up quietly to go to sleep.

[bloodwolf119]

Raven closed her eyes as she saw colors she smiled and fell asleep.

[gyalia]

ooc:who's Emilly? I think you mean Raven?

bic: Anio woke with the first light of day. Her eyes fluttered open and her tail uncurled from around her paws drowsily. She couldn't tell that it was light because of the dark cave, but she knew all the same. It must have been her wolfish instincts again, the she thought with dread.

She moved quietly without waking Raven. She needed a little fresh air and time to watch the sun rise before she was ready to travel again. She broke through the wall of snow, and covered it up just enough so the light wouldn't wake the sleeping wolf. Sighing, she rested her head gently on her paws. Her human guise leaned back on it's hands and looked up at the sky. The snow was the color of a ripe peach and it was hard to tell the end to where it began and the sky ended. She just sat there quietly, thinking to herself and waiting for Raven to wake up.

[bloodwolf119]

ooc: for all my Rps my characters name is emily srry :3

Bic: Raven yawned and stretched then busted through the snow wall and scratched her nose in human form she stretched the sun rose quickly she smiled

"how was your sleep.." Raven asked looking at the sky shaking the snow off of herself the new found hope lifted her up to a new found strenght...

....Courage

[gyalia]

"Nice." Anio said, continuing to watch the sun rise. She said it dismissively, not because she wanted to dismiss the subject but only because she wasn't thinking about the conversation. Her mind was wandering far beyond the drifts of snow. She shook her head suddenly, remembering herself.

"Let's get going." She said, and began to retrace their steps back to where they strayed from the path to find shelter last night. Her mind began to wander again, and the thought of Raven came up. Who was she, exactly?

"So Raven." Anio said, trying her luck at striking a conversation. "How long have you been out on your own?"

[bloodwolf119]

Raven sniffed the ground "about a month.." she said "..but thats just a guestment" she said and kept walking the sun was now high in the air..

...Buy now you could be snow-blind but Raven was use to it still the sun hurt her eyes..

..You?" she asked "how long have you been free?" she asked curiosity struck her now more then ever

[gyalia]

"Since I was a pup." She said, a little remorse in her voice. "It was hard at first, living alone like that and so young... But I've managed."

She remembered how hard it was at first. All the struggle she had to go through, not knowing if she would starve to death before she found something edible again, being so cold at night that she wasn't even sure she'd wake up, and the way people always looked at her. They saw the wolf in her from day one, and so it made her younger years all the more difficult. She hated that more than anything else, but it was over now. She had made it.

"So you say you ran away from the lab you were in?" Anio asked, thinking about her childhood before the 'freedom'. She could have taken or left paradise in those years. It was just her and him, happy as could be. "Why would you do that?"

[bloodwolf119]

"I lived in a small cage all my life was ripped away from society just so they could have a 'tool'.." she said..
..yes Raven was referred to as a tool a object only useful when needed

"so I wanted to be free like everyone else why should I have to stay in a cage.." she contunied...
..the cage was small big enough for herself and a water/food dish and a small bed

"..I want more then anything to live a normal life.." If only raven knew what that was

[gyalia]

Anio considered this for a moment, and saw the irony of it. Here she was, only wishing she could have lived a long life and died old and happy in that lab with her master, and of course he was murdered at the very prime of his life, and here was Raven who had to escape her own laboratory for the sheer ability to be free and not live in a cage her entire life, and she was certain the people that did this to her were alive and well. It just proved to her how cruel and random the world really was.

She sighed. She was always being negative lately. It put a weight on her shoulders that was slowly crushing her under her own misery. Maybe what she needed was paradise... but the thought of using it as a 'cure all' was not appealing to her in the slightest. No, she needed to solve her own problems before she could go there. For now she would just learn about it.

"Well," Anio said, sighing. "You're free now. How do you feel?"

[bloodwolf119]

"great now I can be free to run rather then cont my steps in a cage.." Raven smiled "in paradise I will be even more Free I will be away from all the troubles in this world.." Raven said and smiled..

..Forever free forever happy never knowing what sadness was nor will she further know what sadness was or is once was..

.."so what about you what are you hoping to find in paradise?" she asked
