Anya The woman wandered back with him in a relatively up beat tone despite her slight tiredness. Frigus seemed to make everything seem just a little bit... better, she supposed. Yes, she'd been upset about this whole thing, because she'd be leaving her home, and her family, but the man somehow made it seem not so bad. They were getting ready to sleep on deer skins, underneath an old, fallen-apart cabin, and he made it seem alright. Like it wasn't so bad. She'd miss her home, she would, but if it meant she got to spend time like this with her old friend, like this... then she certainly wouldn't object to it. It'd been years since she'd left the village, since she'd been out in the woods, causing trouble and running around. She felt like a little kid again, and it was something she welcomed with open arms. When the man settled on the furs, she flopped down next to him with a soft huff of air before looking up at the sky. She didn't think she'd ever seen so many stars... and each one of them seemed to be dancing around in such a clear sky. It was a sight to see. She rolled her head to the side, about to say something to Frigus, but was quite astonished by the sight she saw. It was still him, only, the moonlight was bouncing off his hair and the stars seemed to be twirling around his eyes too... it almost made the man glow like he didn't quite belong next to her at that moment. She gave a small smile before turning her head back so that she was watching the stars again before turning over and getting under the make shift blanker to get comfortable. |

Frigus As they lied down he smiled softly, his gaze flickering in the night as he watched her watch the stars. He was glad to be there. Although he was afraid what shed do once she gained control of her shifts once she did. He knew itd probably be a couple years at least but when she did have control would she leave him? would she return home? He didnt like those thoughts. so he pushed them away and enjoyed the fact that she was with him in the moment. Soon though his eyes grew heavy and he shut them, his breathing slowing to a steady rythm as he fell fast asleep. drifting into his dreams. but he couldnt find rest there either. the feeling set back in and he began having flash back like dreams. although none were his memories. A flash of a woman he had no recolection of, she was distressed, sad. then just like that the flash was gone. then another, of a rope and a stool. he didnt like how this made him feel. it made his chest twist and his stomach churn in dread. He could hear yelling and screaming, distant, as if they were outside of the building. then another flash and there was an unsettling snap andd the image off dangling feet. the image stayed imprinted in his brain no matter how much he wanted it to leave. then the last thing was the sound of a soft voice, saying something he couldnt understand, but he felt comfort from it. it felt warm and calming. this all confused him but in his sleep these images only brought a few twitched to his physical being before they faded and he was left to peacefully dream. |

Anya The woman kept her eyes up for a little while longer once she'd gotten herself comfortable under the blanket... she was almost scared that she'd close her eyes and it would all be gone... that she'd wake up in the castle again, in the four walls that held with them the safety but dreadful boredom that she'd be doomed to. A place where her life would amount to nothing other than being a pretty face in the corner... someone that wouldn't be surrounded by love, but rather the greediness that humans would come with. In the end, she wouldn't be someone that people remembered fondly. She only had one person with her now, though... and she'd felt more cared for than she had in her entire life. His entire presence just made her feel full. She turned her head slightly to look at him, a soft smile crossing her face when she realised he was asleep, though, it disappeared when he started to twitch. She gave a soft sigh before shifting ever so slightly so that her back was against his, then curled up a little more as she closed her eyes and forced herself into a restful state of sleep. |

Frigus In the dead of night he woke with a jolt, a strong scent lingered in the air, it was one of his own. had they known what he had done? were they coming for him. he had to find out before making any rash choices and movements. quietly he listened, ears flicking to pick up any noise from outside till he heard a whisper, "Frigus." who was this? howd they know his name. His gaze peered through the trees as he slowly and quietly got up, not wanting to disturb Anya. he whispered quietly as he spotted a pair of bright green eyes, "whos there?" he said as he approached and the voice sounded once again, "That doesnt matter, what matters is you right now. I have been sent to tell you a very important matter. you will need to sit down. It is a lifetime to unfold." soon the figure of a dark brown coated female came to view, glancing at Anya, "who is this? will we need to disclose in-" she paused as she caught her scent and dissapointment seemed to shatter her gaze as if her hope dwindled, "Frigus... you know the consequences of this? you will be considered a disgrace." she shifted into her human form as she now resembled a woman possibly in her 40s-50s with dark shaggy brown hair to her shuoulders and bright green eyes, a perminant kind of scowl on her face but her green eyes seemed gentle. she was a worn woman it seemed. tired, and had been through children and war, "it will be harder to get the people to follow you." |

Anya Anya found herself in a pretty peaceful sleep... she did give a type of groan in a complaint to his leaving but settled down again after a while. There were a couple of uneasy dreams, all of which were about what would happen to her and her family if they'd found out about all of this... every outcome possible, she seemed to have drempt it in a matter of hours. Some of them were alright, really... they'd just stopped talking to her for a while, but she wasn't locked away, and she hadn't been hanged... neither had Frigus. He wasn't there though... not in the dream. She wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not. There were dreams about her not seeing them again, too... and not a single one of those ended well. Figus, though, wasn't in one of them. Would he leave her once she had full control? Go and live his life, start a family or whatever the wolven people did. It was the kind of thing he should be doing now... and yet, he was stuck with her. The thought made her chest twist in a type of pain she couldn't quite describe. She didn't want to hold him back like that, and she didn't want him to resent her because of that. After a couple of hours, the woman felt her stomach start to rumble, in a type of ranging hunger... it seemed to have come along so suddenly, which was odd because she'd eaten not long ago. She'd barely woken up, but simply shifted around a little more before forcing herself back to sleep... she'd eat whenever they woke up again. |

Frigus He was utterly confused about the whole getting the people to follow him thing. why would they need to? he glanced back at Anya then back to the wolven woman, "we can talk... but let her rest. Its been a long day." he stated as he lightly pulled the blanket over her shoulders, stepping back and then heading out once he was sure she was comfortable. he hated leaving her there without telling her. but he shouldn't be long. he motioned to the woman to follow as they headed towards the stream to talk, just in view of camp, but far enough to where they wouldn't wake her, "what is it that you have to tell me?" The woman frowned and clasped her hands together, "your mother took her life last night during a raid. There's a band of us who wish to take the throne back to the old alphas ruling through his kin. well the alphas soldiers were ordered to attempt to kill us off. your mother was trapped in a building that was surrounded by guards. They were killing off many of our kind outside, so she took her own life before they could take it." Frigus remembered all of the dreamy visions he had last night. it was all her memories. the feelings he was feeling was all hers. he knew it wasnt him. it was all what his mother was feeling in her last moments. but.. as far as he knew, his mother died at his birth, "but... my mother died when i was born, and as did my father..." The lady shook her head, "no Frigus... you were told that for your own safety. you were brought out of the kingdom so the current alpha couldnt desicrate the true alphas bloodline." Frigus was stunned, "are you saying..." the woman nodded, "its true. your father was the previous Alpha. your mother was the empress and who you were raised by was the Empresses hair dresser. you are the destined eir to the throne. and now i ask you to lead the rebels against the alpha to claim your place as emperor and restore rightiousness and glory to the throne." |

Anya Eventually, the woman had woken up and gone back to sleep enough that once she was up again she simply couldn't get herself back to sleep. The sun had started to rise just a little, so it couldn't have been that early in the morning. Probably about six. It seemed early, but she found that she'd been waking up ever so slightly earlier than usual since she'd come out here. She felt a wave of panic rush through her when she noticed that Frigus wasn't there, but she then reasoned that he wouldn't just leave her and everything he owned like that. If he wasn't back in a couple of hours, she could start to panic. She still felt that overwhelming hunger, though. Like her something was tearing at her stomach, wanting out. She looked around and groaned slightly before forcing herself to stand up again. She went to grab the hairbrush he'd gotten her before quickly brushing it through and then putting it up and out of the way. She didn't know where Frigus had gone, but it seemed the perfect time to try her new clothes. She just wanted to do anything to get her mind off this awful hunger, which she still couldn't quite wrap her head around. She tried the dress he'd gotten for her and made some quick adjustments to the shoulders to make it fit then went and tried on the trousers and shirt, which she was, admittedly most excited about. She was surprised to see the trousers fit almost perfectly, and she just had to tuck the shirt in a little more to stop it from falling on her shoulders. She did like it, though... and it was much more comfortable than the skirts she normally wore. |

Frigus This was all too much for him to handle. or even begin to comprehend. His whole life had been a lie, the grief he had went through several years ago, the fact that he felt he was just living in solitude but had really just been in hiding his whole life and never knew it. The woman nodded. "I understand it is a lot to understand at the moment and i know you will need time but the people are counting on you. the whole wolven empire rests in your hands. and what happens is up to you. I will be back in 3 days time." she glanced at his shoulder, "see to it that that wound heals up before you join us." Frigus nodded lightly and frowned, he had a big image to get to. and his now was just the image of a skinny lonesome wolf whos turned a human. "would you like a meal before you go on your way?" he asked but she shook her head, "no, i have my people to get back to. whats left of us needs all of the protection we can get." he nodded and watched as she jumped and shifted into her wolven form, bounding off into the horizon. His head lifted to the sky. it was getting lighter out, he neede to check on Anya. And hed have to tell her all of this too. He walked back a little fuzzy brained, he had so much stuffing his mind now that it was making him anxious. As he returned he saw her with the trousers on that he had gotten her and smiled a bit, "They seem to look like they fit ok." |

Anya The woman sat around for a while, just fiddling with her hair... she'd tied it up, but it was still just in the way, so she kind of just threw it into a plait. She'd have it cut off later that day, or whenever she could find the time. "They seem to look like they fit ok." Anya grinned at the man before standing up and giving a chuckle. "You like it?" She asked brightly, almost in a jokey tone before spinning for him, though it was more for her own amusement than anything. "The dress fits fine, too," she added in a chirpy tone. She then cocked her head a little before giving him a curious look. "Where've you been? I didn't notice you leave. Hope you weren't having too much fun without me," the woman joked as she wandered over to a spot next to the fire and sat down with a rather eager look on her face. "Can we eat? I'm starving," she eventually complained. |

Frigus "You like it?" He chuckled as she gave him a spin and he nodded, "It looks good on you." "The dress fits fine, too," He was glad his trip to the market had been a success for her. "im glad they fit well." he stated as he looked her over a bit. she seemed happy in the new clothing. it gave him a small sense of pride in a way. Her curious look after a moment kind of lead him to know what her next question was, "Where've you been? I didn't notice you leave. Hope you weren't having too much fun without me,""Can we eat? I'm starving," he smiled gently, "Im sorry i hadnt told you but i figured youd be asleep till i got back, but we had an unexpected visitor last night. its a lot to speak about but we can talk after we get the chancce to eat."He threw in a couple more sticks to the fire and tried to get it back up using the ashes, which hadnt took long since it didnt go out but a few minuets ago it seemed and the dew hadnt set. He walked over to the place he hung the meat and took two slices about the size of a chicken breast off, cooking them on the stone slabs over the fire. |
