Anakaros
My gray paws sloshed through the puddles, causing the muddy waters to slap up against my legs. Normally, I would have avoided it, but I didn't quite care right now. It was raining at a decent pace, soaking my pelt thoroughly as I padded slowly into the Grasslands.
I felt like hunting, so that was why even though I was soaking wet, I was out here in the open. I figured that I may as well, since I was hungry and I was sure others might me too. Ever since I had found out through my sister, Vesetai, that a war was coming, I had started preparing myself. I hunted more often, and I just put myself through training excercises. It may sound stupid, but I didn't planning dying whenever it happened. If it did happen, because nothing at all seemed to be happening right now.
I wasn't sure, however, if I would come across a herd today. With it raining, they probably had retreated into the trees. I couldn't see any prey, nor could I smell anything, but that was hardly suprising. The rain washed away most scents.

Oh, how long has it been since I've seen any of my kids? I had heard Lavina and Xyria had been slaughtered by Cesaru, and I hadn't even had the chance to spend any time with them. I had only recovered Lavina's still body, so Xyria very well could be alive... Vesetai had only told me what she had heard. She wasn't exactly sure that Xyria was dead, but she was sure she had been raped by none other than Cesaru. Thank goodness Xyria was infertile anyways.
My long legs carried me through the wet, sloppy ground, bringing me closer to what I hoped to be Anakaros. He still seemed to love me, unlike the rest of his siblings. Kirodos did, but I'm not even sure where Dhaval took him. Rexene probably did.. but Vesetai didn't. She seemed to have this idea planted in her head that I had deserted her as a pup, though I merely allowed her to go wandering if she pleased. She had grown up to be a similar wolf to myself, though, and I'm starting to wonder if that's a good thing or not.
"Ahh!" I shrieked, my feet sliding out from under me and my side squishing down into a big vat of mud. "Ahhhh mother." I grumbled to myself, rolling around and trying to regain my footing. I rolled up onto the side of the mud pit, shaking out my fur to try and get some of the slime off. It didn't really work, instead just making my fur stand up in funny directions, but I figured the rain would eventually cleanse me. I sauntered into the Grasslands, spotting a dark brute in the treeline. I let out a howl, hoping it might be Anakaros, or some other member of Bloodshed. I hadn't come into contact with anyone in a long while, and I needed some socialization.

The howl suprised me, causing my hackles to jump up and for my muscles to tense. It was all unnecassary, though, because I recognized the voice almost at once. Of course I would--I'd heard her the moment I was able to listen to the world.
I turned around, my dark purple eyes landing on a shape of a wolf, whom I recognized as my mother, Tesevix. I could tell it was her even though the light drizzle hindered my vision. My tail waved behind me, and my grim mood seemed to partially melt away. I hadn't seen her since....well, since Kiro was taken. And that hadn't been too pleasant of a memory. It had been a year ago...
As I though about this, I started padding towards her, my tail still waving. Unlike most of my siblings, I still did love her. She had never done anything against me. "Hey Mom!" I called out when I was close enough. When I got to her, I put my neck over hers, as a typical wolfy hug. "Wow, have you shrunk or something?" I teased, looking over her. In the past year, I had shot up. I wasn't as big as Cesaru, and I wasn't sure how I ranked with Kirodos, but all three of us were certainly bigger than Tesevix. Hey, we couldn't help it. Our father, whomever he may be, must have been huge.

Now that I think about it, me howling probably wasn't that great of an idea. Anyone could have come along and caused me some trouble, seeing as we were in Bloodshed and anything was bound to happen. Cesaru could show up and I could be raped or killed by my own son, or maybe Kane and Masquerade would show up, Kane to bug the crap out of me and Masq just sitting there watching me get pissed off. Maybe there were wolves in these lands that I hadn't even met yet, wolves of a similar nature to Cesaru, ones that could do the same thing. Then again, my son was pretty screwed up, and I didn't think that there were many others that fucked. I've been wrong before, though.
I grinned at my darker son, recognizing his dark form and his bright purple eyes. I wondered where he had gotten those from, maybe whoever had raped me. Kiro had golden eyes, Cesaru had pale, sea-green eyes [most likely from Tempest; he was my mother's brother, after all], Rexene and Vesetai had brown eyes, and Karos here had purple. It was pretty odd, I must say, a bit of a color range going on there. He threw his neck around me, hugging me tight, and I leaned into his embrace. "Ahh, you're getting so big, Karos," I said, and sure enough, he commented on my own small stature. I laughed, pulling back and looking up at him with my own hazel irises. "Perhaps Liam just blessed you with insane height!" I teased, licking his muzzle. I hadn't seen Kiro in some time, but I figured he was just as big as Karos, though I wouldn't be surprised if Cesaru was bigger.
"How are you, Karos?" I asked, ducking under his neck again and grooming at his shoulder. It was muddy and wet out here, and he was getting kind of dirty. I nuzzled through his fur, picking out burs and pieces of grass that had gotten caught in his longer black hair. "What are you up to?" I asked, trying to perhaps create a conversation.

'Perhaps Liam just blessed you with insane height!'
I chuckled, shrugging one shoulder. "Maybe." I smiled widely at her--I actually did like my mom, even though a lot of my siblings did not. I didn't know why. Sure, she had her moods, but so did any other wolf.
'How are you, Karos?'
She ducked her head back under mine, picking at my shoulder with her teeth. On the way here I had caught plenty, and I hadn't bothered to clean it out with the mud and rain, for I would catch more on the way back to the den. "I'm good. Holding my own," I said, with a crooked grin, even though she couldn't see it. I nosed through her own shoulder fur, even though it was mostly free of foriegn objects. Her touch was a comfort--a mom was always a comfort, I don't care who you are. She made me feel better about this whole war shit that I had been worrying so much about.
'What are you up to?'
My gaze flicked up to the field, remembering what I had come here for. Didn't seem like it would happen, though--not today. "You know, the same old stuff. Training myself for this war, and all....I was going to hunt today, but, well, the herd is somewhere else." I shrugged my shoulders lightly. "Like I said, the same old stuff. What about you? I haven't seen you in a while."

"Ahh, that's good, Karos." I said, nuzzling the base of his neck, as I had finished grooming that little section of him. I felt his nose running through my own fur, and my heart swelled with pride. Him, along with Rexene and Kirodos, maybe even Vesetai, had turned out the best of the litter. I couldn't say so much for Cesaru, but I had bred him strong... He would be good once the war started, but not so great for much else. Karos, though, he had a good head on his shoulders.
Oh, the war. Yes, that thing I had been trying to forget about but at the same time prepare for. I supposed my part in the war depended on if I was pregnant or not, though I hadn't seen Lucas in some time and I was wondering if he was still around. Many of the new members we had gained decided to leave us, as they had in many other packs too. Maybe we were just too hardcore for them. I smirked at my own thoughts. "I'm not sure if I'm going to be in the war," I shrugged, leaning against his chest again. "Depends if Kane and Masq want me to produce another litter..." I said it with slight distaste. My second litter hadn't gone all that great. One stillborn at birth, and then multiple had died before age one. Carmina, Theravada, Truck, and possibly Lavina were the ones remaining, Xyria, Demetria and Cheveyo dying off. Well, Demetria was in question, I really hadn't seen her. We had three for sure, and they were strong, but it wasn't the outcome I was expecting. Perhaps it was because the male that had raped me the first time and had given me my first litter was bigger, stronger, or just had better genetics than Lucas.
I looked out at the field, laughing softly to myself. "No, doesn't really look like you'll be getting much today." Some water dripped down my forehead, ears flicking around in annoyance as I shook my head to rid myself of the moisture. Stupid rain.

'I'm not sure if I'm going to be in the war. Depends if Kane and Masq want me to produce another litter...'
I thought about that for a moment, wondering if I felt relieved or not if she may not being in the war. I knew that it was going to be bad--I mean, really bad--and that many wolves would be killed. I sighed--the thoughts always made my mood drop, for I wasn't the kind of wolf to want war. It scared me shitless, yes, but I wouldn't admit that to anyone. You couldn't show weakness.
'No, doesn't really look like you'll be getting much today.'
I laughed as she shook her head in annoyance, for the rain had gotten on her face. "No, I don't think so either. But that's okay--I don't mind. I could go another day without hunting." I shrugged my shoulders. Nah, it wasn't a big deal.
