Respecting the Lands{O}

[Chasen]

A zephyr blew pleasantly right at that moment. The sun streamed down and warmed the shoulders of a large wolf lounging in the shade of a bush. The beast of a predator yawned and every one of his teeth showed. Pearly white and made for cutting and tearing into flesh. Either of prey or of an enemy. The regal creature lowered his head to his paws and gave a sigh. Peace had over come him since he stepped onto the lands of the Lervot lands. Hunter Class were usually welcome on the lands of the Gods, or they welcomed who ever they pleased. A weary traveler was no threat to them and their trees, especially one that gifted with nature. The Hunter believed in the Gods but he also knew that they had chosen to be silent watchers over Their children instead of interfering with the wolf's personal agenda. That suited Chasenl just fine. He could lay under the Lervot Tree if he wanted too. He was off duty today, of course not that he hadn't done a lap of the boarders or kept his ears pricked for the sounds of a calling howl.

He'd rolled to his side one way then figured he'd roll on to his back and glance up at the sky through the leaves. The large male ran a paw over the bottom of his mane as he pondered. He was beta of the lands and soon it would be his birth season. He would three years old. An odd thought but he was growing older, no longer a pup though his adoptive siblings wouldn't believe it if the Gods told them themselves. They always treated him like a baby though he now towered over both. He'd achieved his Beta status through proving to his siblings he had gained a lot more skill through their training so he knew it was just teasing. He squeezed his eyes closed of the thoughts just as a stronger wind blew a scent towards him. "Huh?" he rose from his laid back position and tucked his hind legs underneath him, ready to rise quickly if he needed too. Though he peered through the foliage at the tree in front of him. Was there some wolf there? He thought of his siblings coming to bother him and set up an aura shield around him so he'd be alerted if anyone came to close.

In that one breath though he swore smelt a pack wolves, old blood, and felt the presence of some other that he could not explain. Chasen looked at the old tree that had been there longer than Ankaa and her mate, possibly had seen hundreds of wolves pass by it. . . . Ghosts? He was getting spooked shoving it off he went back to his spot in the bushes with a snort. After he relaxed and told the Gods he was just a weary being in need of a place to rest for awhile he'd felt a sense of peace. He felt that death here was not welcome and the one guilty of the crime would earn a similar fate, he would keep his jaws and claws to himself. He felt like here was a place of meditation and peace, what his pack stood for. Freedom and wind blew leaves towards his face and huffed at them making them fall around him.

The sun shined through and he felt himself getting sleepy. Confident his warning processes would suffice he relaxed even further letting the sounds of the rushing wind sooth him into sleep.

[Orion]

Orion watched his adopted brother lay there. Chasen was being unwary, and allowing his guard to drop to easily. Orion didnt like it and he thought he would teach his younger....brother a lesson. Moving silently through the trees and to Chasen's side. The other wolf was sleeping, and Orion smiled.This will be fun He thought, as he raised his paw and batted Chasen acrossed his snout, hard. "Dead." Was all he said simply, before turning and walking to the old tree that stood nearby. He gazed up at it and wondered how much it had seen, how much it knew. If trees could talk, this one would have so to say.

But Orion couldnt focus on his thoughts now, he had to talk to Chasen and make sure the young wolf knew sleeping out here, even within the Dan'ale borders, was dangerous. Any Rogue or hunter could sneak up on a sleeping wolf and kill them. Orion sighed as he turned and faced the bushes that he had left Chasen in.

[Chasen]

Chasen was busy having a dream. In the dream he was chasing after a rabbit he was getting closer and closer. The rabbit was nearly within his grasp. His heart thundered and his mouth watered at the thought of fresh rabbit. Right when he was about to grab the creature and thank the Gods for his luck on catching prey it's foot started to grow and grow . . . . The rabbit kicked it's foot out . . . . then . . . .

Chasen opened his eyes right as his brother said "dead". He wanted to call bullcrap but then again Orion was a rouge he wasn't fooling around. Rolling from his back the large lion-like wolf stood and shook the leaves and twigs from his body. He stretched as he emerged from the bush giving his mane another shake. He smacked his lips tiredly and finally got himself to wake up. Usually when he was forced awake he was not the best at conversation. He looked at the Alpha. Sometimes wishing he had his brother's skills at knowing everything. The younger wolf knew that the male in front of him could conjure up ever single embarrassing thing Chasen ever did in his entirety of staying with the Dan'ale pack. Well he guessed he could add another thing to that list.

"Yes? Need me to go run the boarders?" Chasen asked, mostly in hopes, false hopes that is, that he could escape a lecture. A lecture was not something he wanted to hear.

Curious as to what they were supposed to be looking at Chasen followed his brother's gaze to the tree. So the older male felt it too. The odd feeling of welcome here. The tree was a symbol of hope for their pack. Deciding to voice his opinion on the tree he spoke again, "it's like it's saying we're allowed here. You ever get the feeling that if a wolf murdered another on this ground, in war or in cold blood, that the Gods themselves would punish them? It's crazy to think about it like that, huh?"

Then almost as if agreeing with him a small wind swirled around the brothers, sending a chill down Chasen's spine.
