The sands seem to stretch for miles and miles as the sun hovers above it, two shadows run across the lands at a steady pace as they make their way to their dreams, to Paradise.
Wahya eyes squinted to keep the sand out of his eyes as he runs across the sand digging up dirt with every step. It seems like this place does not have a end. He stops for a second as he looks up to the sun then back to Ranulf, "Do you have any idea where we are?"

Ranulf slowed to a soft trot as Wahya asked him a question. "In a desert," he replied with a ting of annoyed wit showing through. The heat was getting to the wolf. "I don't know where we are, only that it's long and hot."
He paused, and looked up at the baking sun, before starting off again, but slowly. He was walking now, not because he was tired, but because he was waiting for Wahya to catch up.

Wahya shakes his head, he quickly runs to catch up to Ranulf then starts to walk next to him, "Eh heh, I knew that much." Wahya chuckles to his self, "I guess that was a stupid question on my part..."
He glances up with one eye closed as he looks to the sun again, "It is defiantly hot..." Wahya shakes the sand out of his fur as he walks.

"Did you have any special place in mind," Ranulf started as they walked on, "that you wanted to go?" Ranulf was treading lightly - the sand was burning his paw pads as he walked. At this point, he was annoyed at many things. The sun, for being so hot, and his fur for being such a dark shade. It absorbed the heat of the sun.

Wahya shrugs, "Not really, I was just going in one direction until we reached somewhere or found something. I have never really been going anywhere, I just ended up in that town because something pulled me there, I do not know what...."
Wahya looks to Ranulf, "What about you? Why did you end up in that town?"

Ranulf fell silent for a while. It was something that he didn't talk about often, his past. Though, he couldn't keep it bottled up, right? One other wolf knowing about it couldn't hurt...
"I don't know really... I wandered in blindly. I lost sight of my path when my mate died," Ranulf's eyes darkened in mourning as he remembered Tala. "She was the only reason why I kept trying to find Paradise," Ranulf trailed off.

Wahya's eyes become distant, he looks away, "Im... sorry to hear about that...." Wahya did not want to share his past, it hurt him and angered him, but Ranulf told him something as equal in pain, Wahya looks back to Ranulf, "You are not the only one that has lost someone... I lost my whole pack and mother when I was just a pup..." Wahya growls to his self, "Because of those damn hunters!"
Wahya continues to walk next to him in silence, then he looks back to Ranulf, "You said you WAS looking for Paradise... have you stopped now?"

"Without her, I didn't feel like going anywhere," Ranulf muttered. "I didn't even hear of Paradise until Tala told me about it." Ranulf hung his head. "I just feel so empty without her beside me."
This probably was the most that Ranulf had ever revealed about himself. He really needed to try and be open with more wolves. It took him a while to trust the Wahya walking next to him.. But he was starting to open up.

Wahya continues to look toward Ranulf, "Be glad you had someone you could remember, I can not even remember the face of my own mother I was so young." Wahya looks back in front him with a chuckle, "I did not even know about Paradise, until some wolves in that city told me about it..."
Wahya could not explain why he was telling him his past, yet he felt that he was Ranulf's friend, he did save him.
He looks back to Ranulf, "So at least you were a little luckier, you have a face and memories to remember.... so hold on to that.." Wahya looks back in front of him with a sigh.

"Huh," Ranulf thought for a moment. "But the experience has left me with a burning revenge, as I'm sure you have," Ranulf added. "Hunters killed Tala right before my very eyes - I can't forget that. At least I have her memory." Ranulf looked around. Nothing but sand, sand, and more sand. At least it was easy to see if someone was going to ambush them, right?

Wahya grunts, "You are right, revenge flows through me as well, seeing my own mother die in front of me is something that is burned into my mind, something I can not forget."
Wahya looks back to Ranulf with a smile, "But something the Cherokee told me, you can not dwell in the past forever for you will never move foward." Wahya laughs, "They also said to not hold revenge, but that one is a little harder to do." Wahya continues to laugh.

A wind whisped through the desert sands. In it's grasp, it held the soft voice of someone only Ranulf would recognize. The voice was that of Tala's, and it echoed all the way from paradise. Paradise was just a myth though, a game played in the minds of wolves...surely it couldn't truley exist...right?

Ranulf's eyes narrowed. Forget the past? Ha! He couldn't do that until he found his revenge.
"Cherokee? Did you get that object from them?" Ranulf asked, reaching over with his muzzle to poke the odd necklace around Wahya's neck. He waited patiently for Wahya's answer until a soft voice entered his ears.
"Tala?" his ears perked up as he tried to find out where the sound was coming from.

Wahya follows his muzzle to his neck, "Actually yes, I did get it from them, they gave it to me as a gift for protecting the tribe from some poachers."
Wahya raises a eyebrow as he mentions a name, "Tala? Who is Tala?"

Wahya said something, but Ranulf didn't catch it. He was sure that he heard Tala. But she was dead - or was she? Did she survive? Ranulf was sure that she was dead when he checked... Maybe she survived! Ranulf, flooded with excitement, dashed off deeper into the desert. He wanted to find Tala!
