Awesome! Thanks so much Passion ^-^

How come acid art works just fine for everyone, but when I try, it doesn't work? I do a pattern, erase it with low opacity, then copy it forward, paste the copy down, copy it again, paste the copy down, and again, and again. And then it just doesn't get any acid-er than how the pattern originally started.

You have to do it multiple times, as well as going back and forth between the layers. Also, putting the design on different layers once finished, helps'

so do we just switch to here?

( Yes, we do! But I did post a comment on the other pic which I think everyone should read. )

(so did i. ill switch to here now .-.)

Phasma nodded at Scree's howl. Thankfully, she had found Karoshi. He picked up more water and noticed Ice freezing an odd fire wolf, he thrust his water in right as she finished the sphere. He swirled it around the inside of the orb, drowning the fire demon. Lumina continued to slash at the flames, making quite a bit of progress.

"Phasma!? Do you need my help!?" Karthania yelled through the flames. "I'm ready and willing!"

Scree was tripping over her feet, struggling. she had been running for some time now. Karoshi seemed unconscious, or close to it, Scree couldn't tell. Trees were falling everywhere and she was having troubles dodging them all. branches and thorns wipped against her skin leaving scratches and cuts Kar was probably the same.
Finally, in the distance she saw the opening, using that last bit of strength, she shot across the burning forest, her feet barely touching the ground. "almost..there." she panted hard the heat was getting to her, and her feet were on fire. /wait s minute.../ she looked doen and the blur that was her feet. /they are on fire!/ the fire had caught her fur and now sll for paws were ignited in flames. she screamed as she shot out of fire, into safety, Kar sliding off her back but still in the safety of a clearing by the wolves

"Hang on Scree!" Karthan ran up. "Here, hang on" She slowly splashed water on the wolves burnt paws. "We need some ice."

Rue was panicing Kar was in there some where! But he had to stay back incase someone needed him. He was a star wolf which ment he had electrical powers, he could jump start somewolfs' heart if he needed too. And that was why he was staying back, somewolf might need him to do that. But the paniced feeling was only made worst when he heard Kar howl! He stood there shaking, he wanted to go in there and rescue her so badly, but he was needed here more then there. Scree will save her, scree will get her out... He hoped! (time lapse) She did infact save her, Scree came running out of the burning forest with Kar on her back. Rue rushed forward and grabed kar by the scruff of the neck and pulled her to a safer distance from the burning forest! "Kar! Kar, wake up!" He put his ear to her chest, there was no beating! Rue took his paws and rubbed them together creating a static of electricity between them. He tgen pressed hard on her chest, sending the shock into her! She fintched upward and Rue put his ear to her chest again. Still nothing, he repeated the process untill her heart started to beat fantly. Rue sighed and rubbed his forhead when it was over. It was a good thing Rue had stayed behind or else it would've been his paws that had caute on fire, then he wouldn't have been able to jump start Kar! But it wasn't over yet, the forest was still on fire! Rue ran to Phasma and asked "What can I do?"

Karoshi's eyes snapped open and she jolted up, snarling and looking about wildly. Kar was breathing hard, parts of her sking seveerly burned and multiple cuts covered her sides. The wolfess coughed up soot, enabling her lungs to breath more easily. " What the devil happened?! ," the beta growled as she caught sight of the burning forest. Wolves, mostly with power over water, were darting in every direction, doing everything and anything that could ki'll the ruby flames. Suddenly Kar felt week. She layd down, gritting her teeth at the pulsing pain eminating from her wounds. It was all coming back to her now. The evening patrol; the flaming creature; Scree carrying her through the burning forest; and Ruedawn over head . . . Karoshi sighed, ashamed and tired. She tried standing again and again, but fell every time. Kar knew that there was no way she could possibly help put out the flames, but it was partialy her fault. If she hadn't aproached the beast, perhaps the forest fire would never have happened and Scree, an Alpha, aswell as the pack, wouldn't be in such danger. Whatsmore, Ruedawn could've been ki'llef. And he still could be . . . Karoshi scowled, digging her claws into the dirt, enraged with herself. " How could I be so . . . reckless?! ," the beta murmured, bearing her fangs.

No one had answered Snow. She could hear so many barks and howls coming from the forest. Snow knew she had to do something. But she knew the thing that she was going to do, will severely zap her energy. Snow close her eyes to concentrate. The snowflake on her back began to glow. All of a sudden Snow formed wings of pure ice and flew towards the forest. When she got there Snow let out a howl. "What can I do?"

Scree struggled. She managed to stand up and survey her sorroundings. Kar was alive, laying down, most of the wolves were working to put out the fire. She tried walking over to them but took one step and pain scre,amed through her legs. gingerly, she looked down, and started shaking, her feet, up to her knees on all fours were completely raw and bleeding, black and charred aroynd the edged. Blood was pooling out and left a large trail around her. the pain awful and to top that, sticks and branches had jambed into the raw parts when she had been running. It was a gruesome sight, she stood there for a minute, shaking. Then she blacked out, falling to the burnt ground.

Snow was hovering there in mid-air. When she looked at the ground and saw a Scree laying on the ground. Snow tucked her wings in for a dive. Snow landed on the ground like a snowflake. "Are you ok?" Snow asked Scree with concern in her voice. Snow let out a worried howl.

Rue saw Kar moveing and coughing, he went over to calm her. "Kar rest easy now, your safe, *sets a paw on her shoulder, pushing her down gently* don't strain yourself you've been in the smoke for far too long." Rue looked into her eyes and smilled warmingly "I'm so glad your okay." Then Scree tried moveing but fell down. "I'll be right back Kar, don't move, stay there." he said as he moved for thee Apha "Apha Scree your hurt, let me take a look at your paws!" He ran forward and took a look, he grimaced. "I'm going to give you a slight static shock okay, it'll nume your nerves and replace the pain with a tingleing feeling. Do you want me to continue with that approach?"

(Oh wait Screes' knocked out sorry)

Karoshi just stared at the ground ifront of Ruedawn, nodding. Kar wasn't worthy to even look at him anymore. Not by a long shot. The she wolf watched Scree intently, examining her wounds from afar. The alpha's burnt, raw paws were a messy, discuting sight to behold. They were some of the worst wounds the wolfess had ever seen, and she had witnesded numerous gorey attrositys. Karoshi looked away, ashamed. It would have been better for her to die doing her duty then to cause such damage to an Alpha. If the canine had still been in the N.A.M, she would have been shot for causing such an accurence. " And they would have been right in doing so ," she thought, laying her sooty head on the grass, staring at the ground.

Chiffon was going over the little bundles of herbs as Luna rushed out, so she didn't notice. "Luna?" The apprentice was gone, probably to help fight. That wasnt surprising. The wolf was of the element snow. Chiffon didn't run off to stop her. Soon enough the small shewolf came back for herbs and bolted again. Chiffon decided to allow Luna to handle this, since her immensly long fur was ignited easy. A second time, luna returned, seeking something for scapes and bloody wounds. Chiffon quickly grabbed some soft lamb's ear and gave it to her apprentice. As the wolf bolted yet again, Chiffon sighed and paced her cave, fearing leaving.

(I decide to sleep through the first half the day, and you guys leave me a novel. Thanks >.<)

Snow looked at the group of wolves around Scree. "Would you like me to take Scree back to camp?" Snow asked everyone there. "I can fly dack with Scree." Snow added, knowing that it would be hard to do over land. With it being so badly damaged from the fire.

(Doesn't anyone respond to my character???)

Phasma looked at Snow, "No, I think we'll be ok." He helped Ice by lifting the other half of the damaged Scree. It pained him to see her in such shape, so much that a few tears slid from his eyes. He felt as though he had failed his pack, it should have been him stuck in the fire, or him with blacked paws. He was alpha male, he was supposed to die a most horrible death if nessecary to protect his pack. After some time, Ice and Phasma had reached the healer's den. They gently set her down in a nest. Phasma layed next to her, not willing to leave her side... not ever.

Snow nodded in responce. Watching Phasma and Ice carry Scree away back to camp. Snow stood there wondering what the reason to the fire was.

"Oh...my...." Chiffon sensed Phasma and Ice carry Scree in. Chif gently touched her nose to the lavender wolf's chest. Still alive, but unconcious. Chiffon quickly grabbed up some aloe leaves and chewed them equally as rapidly, then applied the paste to all of the burnt wolf's visible wounds. The mysticwolf loathed the taste of aloe, but this was for her alpha. "I think...she's good for now..." Chiffon panted. She had worn herself out with worry.

Snow stood there among all the devestation. "Would the forest ever return to normal.?" she ask, not expecting any answers. Snow made her ice wings disappeared. Looking at the forest one more time then started back to camp. Snow stumbled a couple times on her walk, Snow knew that she would sleep so hard that night.

Karoshi sighed in relief when they had applied healing herbs to Scree's extreme wounds and had taken her back. All of her pack, so preoccupied with Alpha Scree and getting her back to camp safely, had left the entire area, leaving it void. The beta sniffed the area, wondering where Ruedawn had disappeard to, but the sheer smount lf charred plant life and smoldering earth and blood masked any scent. It was probably better that he was probably not there, though. Still, she wished she could have seen him again . . . " Well then ," the she wolf said to herself, straining to stand, " it seems that my traveling begins oncemore. " The canine cried out in pain as she struggled to her feet, her burns and uncountable cuts causing her great pain, but she somehow managed to stand. Karoshi panted for a minute, catching her breath and letting herself get used to the pain. Kar scanned the area, deciding what path she would take through the burnt area. She found a slighter less burnt path though the desimated land scape and nodded. " Forward unto dawn. " The canine stiffly walked over charred trees and scorched rocks and smoldering earth, each step a blast of pain. Her paws had also been seered, but not as badly as Scree's, and afew bones weren't idzactly in the right places and patches of her skin had been burnt, almost to a crisp. Still, she moved slowly through the forest, taking a very familiar root over the forest. She just had to make it that one special spot. ( to be conginued so please don't comment just yet )

(Urrg but Rue is not going to like that)

( I bet he won't! ) After an hour of sheer agony and slowl going, Karoshi halted. Kar stood at the edge of a clearing deep within the forest. For a mile in every direction were slender, icy-blue trees glowing with an eerie light. Some were only seven feet tall while others were taller then the tallesy red wood tree. Ealegant light-purple glowing flowers grew in patches around the base of the trees, releasing a sweet, vibrant scent that filled the air all around her. The wolfess took a breath and forced her charred legs to move. The canine slowly made her way to the cnter of the clearing. She halted just infont of a clear, still pond that glowed with a faint white light. A mas/sive tree, taller and wider then any in the entire forest, stood tall and proud next to the water. Those ealegant purple flowers grew in ex'ce'ss around the base, more beautiful and fra'gr'ent and healthy then any others. Karoshi looked down to see a paw mark perfectly preserved in the dirt next to the etherial pond. Kar placed her pawn on the mark and fit perfectly in the indent. She sighed. " Ruedawn would have loved this place ," the wolfess said and slipped into the coll, calm water. She gritted her teeth as her seveer burns stung and her cuts flared in pain. The she wolf ignored this and laid her head gingerly on the bank. Her wounds started to heal. The beta had found that, for whatever reason, the water helped to excellerate the healing process, but it only went so far. Medical care would still be recquired. After afew minutes, the healing stopped, and her wounds felt alittle better, but were still drastic. Karoshi lay there, a dep'ressed look on her face and a sorrow in her eyes. " I wish I could have stayed with thee, Rue ," Kar said, her ears drooping. " But it has to be done. " Rustling. Paw steps. Sound. She snapped her head to the side and walked half-way out of the pond, snarling. " Whom is it?! ," she barked, in no condition or mood for a fight. The she wolf's expression-

suddenly reverted to its previous forlorn look and she let herself fall onto the ground. The beta knew she could not engage in combat with another wolf and win and, for the first time ever, had not the will to fight. " If whomever is there wishes me dead ," the wolfess said in a raised voice, her upper body laying limply on the grass and the rest of her still in the etherial pond, " then go on and do your part. You would be doing me a great service. "

( forgot to add this ) " But, please, do me one last service after I am dead. The pack I once haild from is known as Celestpack. Tell them of what you did and, afterwards, look for a wolf named Ruedawn. We were goung to be made mates tomorrow. Tell him I loved him . . . please? " Karoshi sighed, ready for death.

Karth sat down by the edge of the forest. The ashes were still warm. She lightly sat her paw down. Her wet paws soaked the grass beneath them. "How long shall this danger be here? When every one of us is dead?" She quietly sat down. Her head sank low, her tail didn't budge. For once in her life she felt unneeded. With her back towards the light, she quietly sank into her own little world.

After Scree was taken care of Rue went back to help Kar, but she wasn't there? "That stupid canine she should've let me help her to Cheifs' (is it her den or is it like a hospitail?)." Rue shrugged figureing the tuff shewolf had huffed it on her own, but when he got to Cheifs' place he saw no Kar. "Cheif were is Karoshi? Did she stop by to get her wounds checked?" Cheif tilted her head in a way that said No, I don't have a clue to what your saying. That was all Rue needed he ran out of the den and back to the black chared forest! "Karoshi!!!" He yelled at the top of his lungs! Rue was devastated, he didn't understand hadn't she started to come to like him? Then why wasn't she- "Wait the den! Maybe she's at the den!" He said to himself reasuringly and ran back to the betas' den. Maybe the stupid shewolf skiped medicare altogether, but she wasn't there either... Rue slumped to the ground and put his paws over his head. "I don't understand, only a day ago I didn't know hardly anything about her, now, now it feels as though my heart has been torn in half by her disappeance..." Rue started sobing

Scree's dreams couldnt be called dreams at all, they were more like muddled flashes of many things. fire. trees falling everywhere. Phasma, his strong yet gently eyes. spraying branches shooting at her. The pack wandering about, smiling. Kar. barely breathing. smoky hazes. running that felt like flying, her feet a blur under her. this was her race, her competition? time. A burning, bleeding agoni,zingpain. raw feet. blood soaked everywhere. Scree's eyes ripped open, scre,aming a gutteral, painful sound. it felt as intense as if someone were jabbing knives into her raw bleeding legs. She stopped short her scream, confused and shocked. Last she remembered she was in the forest, now she was in the healers den. Scree looked down at her feet, the pain had ebbed away once she woke up, it still hurt, just not as much. Aloe and other things were smeared onto her legs. There were still small branches and things jarred into her flesh but she would have to take them out later. Scree looked around confused. "Kar. wheres Kar? Has she been taken care of?" Scree needed to make sure she hadnt risked her life for nothing, her main concerns right now were Kar. She turned seeing Phasma beside her looking worried. "what about the others. is anyone hurt? Is the pack alright?" staring at him wide eyed. She felt dazed and light headed, but she had to make sure everyone was fine.

Rue stopped sobing after a moment and sat up whiping his noise. He then ran back to the forest to try and pick up Kars' sent, but to no pravel. "Cats! I can't pick up a thing!" He cursed at himself but then said to himself "Maybe Cheif will have some sort of remidy or a potion that'll give me a way to seek her out!" He ran back to Cheifs' place and asked as unpanicy as possible "Cheif I need some sort of poition, remidy or anything really that help me smell, see, or hear, were Kar has dissapeared too." Rues' words came out quick and unordally, and he didn't give her much time to reply before pleading "Please Cheif, do you have something? Anything just something that'll help me find her, I don't care if it's dangerous or not!"

(Her name's Chif ;3 ) Phasma's ears flattened when she mentioned Karoshi. "I... She disappeared..." Suddenly, Rue came busting in. "I need a potion, something to increase my senses to find Kar!" Phasma stood up. "I don't think such a thing exsists... but I'll help you find her, no matter what it takes." He looked at Scree. It was for her, and for Ruedawn. He knew Scree wouldn't rest until Karoshi was found, and neither would Rue, Ruedawn might actually pass out from depression. "Lets go."

Chiffon grew worried as Ruedawn came by in a haste, flipping out about Karoshi. The foolish wolf was missing? She must've had the intelligence of a lowly ant! Chiffon made sure Scree would be fine alone for a few minutes. The pink wolf slipped off, then carefully drew her bone-whistle into her mouth. Gently, she blew, and a few soft notes were expelled. Suddenly, a small flock of sparrows, as well as a rare zebra finch flew in front of her. "I need you to search for a black and purple, winged wolf. She probably looks damaged," Chif hastily whispered, and shortly after, the avians took off, fluttering in different directions. Chiffon shortly returned to the den and laid beside Scree. "Anything especially painful or anything I missed?"

(whoops sorry) Rue nooded at Phamas and ran out of the den "Okay, last I saw her she was here." He stomped his paw onto the stone were kar had been lain. "But I can't find her sent with all this, with this this-" Rue sneezed and shook his head "Sorry had an itch there. Now where should we start? Were would she go? Why would she just take off like that?..." Rue slumped down and almost started sobbing again but managed to hold it back "Phamas, why did you asign this matage? I don't understand..." Rue put his head down and his ears went flat.

(you know, i think all our wolves are like...vampires...the elixer is the only form of food so far xD )
Scree's head lolled of a bit, she felt weak and dizzy and couldnt bare to look at her salved feet. As Chif came over to her she lifted her head as best she could. "No, youve gotten it all. thank you Chif." she glanced back at her feet. "just wish I could get these branches out." she mumbled setting her head back down.

( LOL! Your apsilutely right, wolf soul! We've almost completely forgotten about that! Lol. )

Karth turned around. A few meters away stood Rue and Chiff. She quickly stood up. Not wanting to look lazy. As she watched them she saw a big bird fly past in the distance. "I wish I had that kind of freedom. Kar is lucky to have wings." Karth gently walked among the ashes. Her attitude changed. She was no longer that small Warrior, but a young Hunter. She lunged into the trees. Her heart racing, she dived through bushes and limbs. "I will help find Kar. I shall!" She happily ran through the underbrush. Her thoughts on one thing, "I must let my dear fellow pack members know I'm not getting old and useless!"

(Rue and Phasma)

(Oh, yes! Thanx Soul. X3 )

(I was actually thinking of making #celestpackspoofs about that! XD) Phasma looked lovingly at Rue. "Scree and I saw you both might be lonely... Karoshi, she was almost cold. We saw that you two might be something, and you could teach each other to truly love. It's not about the pack or being Beta..." Phasma noted several birds flying above. /That must have been Chif's work./ The fire site was within sight soon enough, and Phasma set to work looking for any sign of Karoshi's wherabouts. He saw a small tuft of fur caught on a bush. "Rue! I found some fur!"

Snow had just come back to camp. She perked up her ears. Snow could just barely make out that Kar was missing. She didn't know any of the details, but Snow decided to turn right back around to the forest to help with the search.

(you shoooould dream xD and Expect many spoofs from me!)

(Van Domar you need to make a ref for Rue cuz I need to make another spoof D: )

(Lol sorry, I've just been so busy, I've barely been founding the time to rp, but I will get it done soon >.< as soon as possible) "You were really thinking of us?... Cause honesty at first I thought it was some kind of joke... but now..." Phasma then spotted the tuff of fur and called out. Rue jumped to his feet! "You've found something? He ran to the tuff of fur and sniffed at it. Yah it's deffinatly hers." Rue then noticed the drag marks in the soot "Follow me!" Rue followed the drag marks to this magnificant place! Rue walked threw the entrence and heard Kar! She started going on about she wanted the stranger (who was actually Rue) to tell Rue (which tenically she was already doing that) that she cared for him. (Wow I lost myself in that XD) Rue ran forward and covered Kars' face with affentionet licks, then he pulled away and said almost sobing "You stupid, stupid wolf. You had me so worried! What were you thinking? Doesn't matter now though, your safe now, that's what matters! Here lets get you home now, you shouldn't have run off like that. You probably hurt yourself even more. What made you do that? Kar?" Rue was talking so fast that Kar couldn't answer. So he slowed down and asked slowly "Kar?... If you loved me so then why dist you run off? Did you not think that I cared for you? Cause I do... I wouldn't have freated over you if I didn't care, I wouldn't have run all this way, draging our Apha leader behind if I didn't care... Kar I love you..." Rue pawed the ground nervously waiting for a response

(snap, sorry Fall I was writing when you commented)

( Actualy I like your version better Van, so I'll go with that. Kay? )

"Hmmmm..." Chiffon looked over Scree a moment. "Luna...very gently pull the twigs out of her paws, then apply pressure. It'll reduce the bleeding," Chiffon told the icy-blue apprentice.

Phasma stepped into the clearing, but instantly decided the couple should have their own moment... He remembered when Scree and himself were paired, it seemed unlikely, but they were absolutely perfect for each other. Phasma noticed an aloe plant growing on his way back. He gently plucked two leaves and brought them as fast as he could to the healer's den. "We found Kar, Scree. She's ok." He dropped the aloe at Chif's feet and smiled at his mate. He resumed laying beside her. This night... had been an exaustingly long one. He closed his burning eyes and allowed himself to slip into a light sleep.

Scree's eyes snapped to Phasma as he entered the den. She cracked a crooked smile, through the pain. She saw the aloe leaves henset down. Then, as he came and sat down beside her. she moves her head closer to his, giving him multiple licks on the muzzle as he drifted off. After he fell into a light sleep she looked up to the two wolves planning to take the twigs out of her paws.

Rue begins to lift Kar onto his back to take her back home. (going to work be back on tomarrow)

(New #celestpackspoofs !!! XD)

Karoshi's heart ski'ppe'd a be'at as Ruedawn ran out of the forest, realising whom it really was she had been talking too and what she had told him. The wolfess was on the ver'ge of tea'rs as Rue reached her, looking so con'f'use'd and guilty. It took the she-wolf a moment to realise what Ruedawn was saying to her through his shower of affe'ctio'nate lic'ks. The beta could barely understand what was going on . . . until he said those three small, powerful, amazing words. " You . . . love I . . . ? ," the canine asked, staring sadly up at him. " I understand . . . why you were so . . . sweet . . ., always smiling . . . So . . . kind toward I . . . " Karoshi licked him, tears just beggining to tri'ckl'e down her cheecks. She pulled away suddenly, trying to keep from ba'll'ing. " But you should not! You cannot! I cannot be with you, Ruedawn, no matter how deeply I love you! I am a dis'gra'ce! Dishonored! I caused a mas'siv'e forest fire through my reckless words to that dam'n fire creature! Alpha Scree was nearly burned to death saving my pathetic hide! I thr'us'ted you and the whole of th pack in nee'dl'ess p'er'il! I faild in my duty and faild mis'era'bly before I entered this pack! I let myself be duped, causing the death of an entire platune . . . and the wolf I loved before you . . . I have utterly dis'gra'ced myself and shall surely do the same to this pack and to you if I were to stay! If I were still with mine old " pack ", as you would call it, I would be dead . . . Please . . . I do not want you to be mated with a failure like I. I was never truly worthy of you or this pack . . . and I still am not now . . . " Kar doubled over, sobbing out'right. She was dis'cu'st'ed with herself even more. Warriors and betas did not weep like pups! It was sha'me'ful! But she just . . . couldn't help it . . .

Kar slid off of his back, turning her back to Ruedawn, trying to conceal her tears.

Chiffon went to one of Scree's back legs and gently pulled out a twig. Then another. And another. Finally, all the twigs had been pulled from Scree's hind leg, and Chiffon rapidly applied pressure to the wolf's ankle with her forepaws, in attempt to slow the blood flow. "Like this, dear," Chiffon instructed, not taking her eyes from her patient.

Scree's eyes were shut tightly. The pain was hard but she new it was worth it. She could feel the release thrn added pressure as the two wolves pressed their paws on the wounds. She started muttering to herself, saying anything that would help keep her mind off the pain, for even though the salves and aloe worked it was still quite painful

"But Kar..." Said Rue quietly, then nozzeling her. "Did you not think to consider what I want? I don't care about what you once where, I don't care about your failures either... I've felt something for you... I don't know why nore how, but I felt something, and that... that is good enough for me." Rue laid down next to Kar and rested his head on her neck, carefull not to touch any of the cuts. He then was able to whisper softly into her ear the rest of what he had to say. "Please come back with me... be my mate... Please I know we can make this work... You don't always have to be a strong, undeafeated beta, you can let go when your around me, and be yourself. That's something I wish some wolf would've allowed me to do around them... let go of the barriers and let all the pressing emotions out to them... You can do that with me Kar, you can let it all out to me... I won't think you a sappy pup... I would never, you are not a failure, nore a discrase to me. You are my mate... I know it's not offisall yet and I know that the Aphas are behind it, but I would still go on with it even if the Aphas droped the matage... I would still wish to be your mate... Would you still want to be mine? I won't leave you untill you give me the truth. You will have to give me a better escuse then I shouldn't or I cannot, cause I can, and I will. Will you?" Rue stopped speaking a laid there waiting for an answer.

Snow heard a commotion in the forest. Within the many barks, Snow recognized Kars' voice. Snow didn't want to interrupt, hearing others around Kar. Snow headed back to camp but did not enter. She sat in watch just out side of camp. She was a warrior and knew Snow had to keep the pack safe.

Snow was still sitting outside of camp on guard. She looked around and noticed alittle snowstorm just above camp. Snow tilted her head to the side "What the?" ask Snow to herself. "Oh ok." Snow finally sad seeing Ice sitting there, just behind the snow. Snow smiled at the little flakes of snow, remembering her arctic roots.

Karth walked up to Snow. "You lonely?" She asked. "I'll sit with you if you'd like." She quietly smiled at the she-wolf sitting next to her. "Feeling unimportant? I feel as if I'm in the way sometimes. If you ever need someone, I'm right here." Karth then let her legs fall and she silently lay down to nap.

"Thank you Karth. You'r company is very appreciated." replied Snow to the now sleeping wolf. "I sometimes feel overe looked."said Snow not knowing if Karth was asleep or not. "I can't wait to start training Lumina." Snow sad to herself or anyone that will listen to her.

Karoshi listend to him, a tangled as'sortment of emotions corsing through. Fear. Disbelief. Guilt. Clarity. Love. Kar turned to Ruedawn slowly, a rush of clarity and love coming over her. She just looked at him. The beta nodded, her bright purple eyes shining. The she wolf started licking him, her tears of shame and guilt turning into those of pure bliss. " I love you . . . " the canine said, putting all of her affection and admiration and love for him to that one simple sentence. " I shall never ever leave again, Ruedawn. Not for a day. Not for year. Not for anything. I love you! I love you more then I have loved anything ever before. I would die for thee . . . I love you . . . " ( Now that was sappy! XD )

Karth lifted her head. "I know you will be a great trainer Snow." She smiled as she sat up and started to sing, quietly but blissfully.

(Such drama in these rps XD that's how I like them to be) Rue took Kars' words in like a spong. Then like he was being squeezed by an invisable jaw, he let it all out. He started crying, shaking, pouring out everything he had. It was so releaveingthat someone cared, for him, that someone loved him. After a few minutes of crying Rue managed to get his complecture under control. He whispered into Kars' ear "Let's go home now shall we. We'll stop by Chifs' and get some (was it aole?) onto those cuts and sores." Rue then stood and started nozzeling Kar "Here climb on my back, I'll carry you there."

"Thank you Karth." Said Snow. Snow also decided to sing with Karth. Snow sang softly so not to disturbe the rest of the pack. The song was an very old one that Snow's mother used to sing for her as a pup. The melodies from both songs mixed to form a strange new one.

(It's Aloe) :3

Karoshi, nodded, not wanting to ruin the moment with a protest. Kar gingerly climbed onto his back, her limbs sore and heavy, but not as much as before. The ponds water had help quite abit with her healing. She closed her eyes as Rue started to carry the wolfess, unable to hold off sleep any longer. The canine smiled as she difted off into slumber, Ruedawn's word playing back in her hazy mind.

When Rue arrived at Chifs' Kar was already sound asleep. He set her down gently, trying very hard not to wake her, then he walked over to Chif and said quietly "She has many cuts and burns, and needs imeadate care. Could you please tend to her? *yawns deeply* And if you need me to get any herbs, please tell me or wake me if I fall asleep, and I will go retreave them." Rue then walked over to Kar and laid next to her, he put a paw on one of hers then struggled to stay awake, but that didn't last very long. He was sound asleep in seconds! (I'm going on vaction early in the morning tomarrow and will be gone for the rest of the week, so Dragoness or someone else can take over Rue, but only make him do things that you'd think he'd do.)

"We shall be good friends" Karthania thought. She slowly ended her little tune with a lovely verse. Then she stood up. "I had better go check on young Raid. She is probably very lonely. I will return." She smiled and waved her tail as she trotted off to Raid's den.

Snow too ended her song. Turning to look at Karth. "Yes i too hope we can be friends. Thank you for spending time with me. I enjoyed our little song and our short time together. "I should go look for Lumina." Snow said. "But i don't know if i should leave my spot. I am afraid that something else moght happen."

(by van! *big dorky wave* x3)

"Don't worry about it! Everything will be fine. I'll take your place when I return!" Karth yelled as she took off.

"Ok." Snow yelled. Snow returned back to her watch. She curled up on the ground. But still wide awake, with the thought of keeping the pack safe.

Misty walked into Raid's den. Passion flowed into her eyes when she saw the young apprentice sleeping. "You poor thing." She sighed. "I'll visit you later." She then returned to where Snow was lying. "You can go now. I'll wait for your return." She sat down and started singing her song again.

"Ok, thanks." said Snow. Getting up and stretched and walked away to look for Lumina. "I hope that Lumina is doing ok after all of the stuff that has been happening lately. Snow walked through camp to Lumina's den and peered in. "Lumina are you there?" called Snow.

Finally the two wolves had finished tacking all the debri from her wounds. She let herself go limp. her head rolling back slightly in utter exhaustion. "thank-you" said Scree to them both. then fell into a fitfull sleep immediatly.

(Hey our characters should eat something in the morning XD so we don't seem like vampires)

(Eek lol I said Misty! XD Now I feel dumb, I meant Karth!)

(funny thing is, i dont think anyone noticed xD)

Lumina opened her eyes and groggily looked up at her mentor. "Yeah... I'm here, and I'm ok. I didn't suffer any burns." She opened her mouth in a wide yawn, "I'm excited to tain tomorrow!" She layed her head back down, smiled a little and closed her eyes to sleep. (Omygosh I got Acnl! So excited X3)

(I am going to pick back up in the morning.)

(True that Soul! XD Dream, don't let it's addictiveness keep you away from usss! :D )

"I am so glad that you are ok, after all that happened. I can't wait for tomorrow either." replied Snow. Touching her nose to the middle of Lumina's head. She left Lumina's den and walked back to the enterence to camp. Snow just stood there listening to Karth's song for a couple of minutes. "I am back Karth. You can go if you want. I will stay here untill dawn."Snow said, sitting back in her spot next to Karth.

(I did a Rp pic. If you anyone wants me to put it in my gallery, for more Rp room. Just let me know.)

(HAHA forget animal crossing they need to rename it soul kiIIer xD)

( Sure, Snow wolf! )
Karoshi's eyes opened wide and she sat up quickly, but gritted her teeth as the pain from her wounds corsed through her body. She laid back down, sighing tiredly and placing a paw on one of Ruedawn's. " Simply a nightmare ," the beta said quietly, closing her eyes oncemore. The beta's dream had been one of blue and red flames dancing all about. The camp had been set alight and the dens had been so heated by the flames that the rocks had begun to melt. A blue fire wolf, most likey a female, stood in the middle of the camp, hovering three feet above the ground as if she were standing on invisible earth. Before the creature had been Ruedawn, lying burnt and bruised, and Karoshi stood protectively infront of it, her head bleeding seveerly as she scre'amed something. The blue fire had opened its maw, spewing an icy-blue fire onto the two of them. Then Kar had awoken. The she wolf laid her dark head upon Ruedawn's neck, trying to forget her nightmare.

(Ok, the Rp pic ia now in my gallery.)
