				Long ago there was an girl of an great curiosity and wonder, an child who held such innocence that the village welcomed her free spirit with warm smiles of delight upon her.Born to an happy union of an baker and trapper, the young family was blessed with the birth of an lovely daughter who's bright eyes that were the envy of the earth itself; an astonishing shade of peridot that mocked even the fine stones of jade in comparison. With the unmarred flesh of fresh cream and fiery spin of silk upon her head, the child was named Arina, an suitable name for the lovely if not untouchable child of nature.The village reveled in the gift of such an child as she grew before their eyes, marveled by her sheer sincerity and kindness among the lack of fear she held even in one so young to aimlessly travel with no hinder of misfortune to cloud her naive mind. The young girl was forever found with the delicate smile etched across her creamy features, the delight of a hum at her pouting lips even as she explored the world around her with little hesitation; even when she was soon tasked to carry goods to her sick grandmother who resided within the dark forest that lay on the outskirts of the town itself. There had been stories of monsters one could never imagine, haunting myths of beasts that were to be feared and yet Arina did not find such in her young heart to ever be truly fearful. She was however warned of the dangers, to never part from the path laid out painstakingly by her father in his years of hunting, to stay upon the trail of light meant her safety during her travels and the child did so for quite some time.<br><br>Arina had made the harrowing travel to her grandmother's cottage time and time again without trouble, the thick cloak of an scarlet hood masking away her small form to appear like an beacon of fire in the otherwise darkness that was the forest.With goods and medicines tucked within an wicker basket at her arm, this became Arina's chore, one she did with delight as the forest both tempted the child yet fascinated her all the same.Though it was one fateful day did the young girl find herself drawn from the path despite the warnings, as curiosity gripped her spirit in such a way she could not fight any longer, Arina wandering from the safety of the blazed trail in pursuit of an strange sound that beckoned her. Upon her travels into the forest there had been an legend of an beast who ruled the darkness, it's eyes following those who dared to enter as the story itself was firmly rooted in the child's mind. The girl's naive nature had taken her from safety to follow such an rumor as she followed the sight of those very eyes that watched her, which for her daft behavior she was repaid by becoming quite lost within the tangle of shadows and limbs that was the very forest itself.<br><br>Deeper and deeper did the child wander from the trail her peeked curiosity having seen Arina into the depths of the woods themselves, darkness becoming what surrounded the girl as with each step did she become more and more entrapped. Nearly stumbling over an gnarled branch that stretched out from the forest floor, the low growl of an beast radiated out upon it's discovery of it's nubile prey, such an easy picking for the animal to discover as the flash of protruding canines became her vision. The child scrambled back in horror of such an beast that began to stalk closer, hounding her down with every heavy step that nearly broke the forest floor beneath it.Arina could not even offer a sound as she fell back in fear, the first strike of the emotion to ever cross her young features as those emerald eyes gleamed ever brighter with the burn of tears that glassed over them.An killing strike however was never given, the young girl would find herself no longer alone with the fearsome beast barring down on her terrified form, as before her doe like eyes Arina found the first rare glimpse of an legend before her.<br><br>The stories of lore Arina had all but became learned of now appeared before her very eyes, the young child in such an awe she could not help but remain frozen in place. As the cloud of anticipation began to fade the child could now fully take in the sight of her savior, an beast,no a hero yet animal alike the rouge wolf who by all appearances stood so stoically and yet so human as complete wonder remained across her expression as she blinked back her confusion.Staring in wonder Arina would repay her hero with the kindness of an sweetened smile, the once stench of fear having all but dissipated, the burn of tears long dried as she began to idly converse with the beast like boy who saved her. Upon their meeting Lily found herself completely engrossed by the strange beast who both amused her as well as excited her, the girl reaching out to understand the boy as the odd relationship soon began to take shape. With her safety promised Arina was sent home to recall her lavish story to the villagers, the tale falling on mixed ears as many found the odd child simply too crazed for her own good. For a while however this became Arina's world, entering into the forest each day as she was soon greeted by the forest wolf who had saved her, as their days were spent by one another teaching and showing the other new examples of their vastly different worlds. Arina would read to the wolfling stories passed down by her mother, whilst he would show her various herbs and plants that would be useful in remedies; the children becoming closer with each passing day as their adventures were anything but blissful and full of joy.<br><br><br>After some time Arina's parents began to grow worried of their wayward daughter spending so much time with this imaginary child wolf of the forest, as in an effort to protect the child she is forbidden to enter alone as it breaks her heart. Search parties were soon sent out in order to put a stop to this growing myth, as the villagers return empty handed despite their persistence, the angered men growing more annoyed with every passing day. Not to be detoured however Arina managed to sneak out one night, finding herself compelled to warn her endangered friend of the forest.Yet upon entering the young girl was startled to find no sign of the wolf, heartbroken she was left alone once more as years go by without another sight nor sound of the wolf boy who had saved her all those years ago.<br><br><br>Years had long passed since the last utter of the strange tales of an man like wolf who lived within the forest, the legend dying out with the sadness of Arina who had to come to terms her childhood was filled with nothing more than imaginary friend she had created. The bright and cheery child grew into an lovely young maiden who had become quite learned in the art of medicine using herbs and plants she had been taught so long ago, others speculating she had discovered the raw talent for such on her own despite the truth behind it all. The village itself had grown as well, becoming larger in numbers as hunting became the main support of wealth to keep the town alive because of this such tales of myth and legends was firmly frowned upon even for their youth. Talk began of the once famed child who spout out her beliefs of an boy beast who resided within the forest, the children flocking to the lovely maiden despite parent's warnings of such. Arina's small shack doubled as her home on the outskirts of the very forest she loved as an child, the village children quickly flocking each and every day to hear the woman's wondrous stories she had learned as an child as well as ones she came up with herself. Among stories Arina became an gifted herbalist, often drinking dark teas that seemed to cure all kinds of ailments as well as make her appear all the more youthful and beautiful. <br><br>The villagers were becoming more and more angry with the free minded maiden who continued her trade of herbs and spices despite the warnings of the enraged town folks who wanted to put an stop to her. Such talk however was soon put to action as word of an angry mob began to spread to warn others to not remain outside as they tended to the 'tainted' witch of the village. Fear and propaganda spurred the men of the village to swarm upon Arina's small home, the maiden fleeing in fear with barely anything to call her own. Those doe like gems of peridot were wide as Arina was forced from her cottage, the burning smolder left clinging to her petite form as she began to run for safety away from the blazing fire that consumed all her life's work. Deeper and deeper did her feet carry herself into the forest, the once warm memories of it's safety no longer felt as the maiden gasped for breath in panting ache of the thundering feet just behind her. The cascade of fiery hair billowed out from the burn of her scarlet cloak still clutched at her breast, the vision of fire streaking across the darkness of the woods as she made her escape followed by the sounds of men intent to hunt her down and dispose of her for reason of treason.<br><br>Arina wasn't sure how long she could remain running, the tangle of her skirts being torn by the low hanging branches and burrs of bushes impulsing the maiden on only further, the heavy ache of her chest heaving with every panting breath as the maiden mourned her own quickly approaching end. They would find her there was little doubt...and when they did...she would perish...<br>

				Smoke.&nbsp; There was burning embers in the air and the pungent smell of wood burning and fear, raw fear.&nbsp; Lifting his muzzle to the air his nostrils flared a few times as he took in this scent and began to move toward it.&nbsp; Normally this wouldn't have been any cause for concern but the scent of fear had crossed the boundaries into his territory and now it had become his problem.&nbsp; Moving through the dense forest at a blinding speed, his normally upright body was now on all fours to move faster and closer to the ground.&nbsp; Dodging the thick tree trunks his claws dug into the soil as he turned, offering him the grip he'd need to make a hair pinned turn at a moment's notice.&nbsp; Coming to a stop at the crest of a hill he stayed hidden in the low underbrush and watched as a flash of fire red hair moved through the woods.<br><br>Even in the darkness of the forest, that hair would stick out like a sore thumb.&nbsp; Narrowing his eyes he looked on and saw the unmistakable red cloak.&nbsp; Then her scent was carried to him on the night breeze as he looked on.&nbsp; Arina.&nbsp; It had been years since he'd seen her.&nbsp; Over a decade actually.&nbsp; The night that the hunters came into the forest, his pack had decided to pull back into the safety of their own territory, a place that the hunter's did not venture into because of all the wild beasts that were unknown in that region.&nbsp; The increase in hunters had been assumed to be the fault of Arina.&nbsp; Koda's human friend who he'd grown so close to.&nbsp; His father, the Alpha at the time had allowed the relationship but at the increasing pressure of the hunters, he'd forbidden Koda from wandering that far into the woods and instead sent him to focus on his Alpha training.<br><br>Looking behind Arina he noticed a band of about six human males following her.&nbsp; They stuck out very nicely as well as they carried torches, swords and shovels.&nbsp; Apparently they had issues with Arina that would not end well in terms of her health.&nbsp; Had she been anyone else, he would have let the killing take place simply because it was not his concern what the humans did to one another.&nbsp; However, he was the Alpha now.&nbsp; His father was dead and gone.&nbsp; Growling a bit Koda moved through the forest, staying ahead of Arina.&nbsp; He needed her to stop moving, find a place to hunker down, which he probably wouldn't have to wait long.&nbsp; <br><br>She was breathing very hard, her heart beat was rapid which would make pulling air into her burning lungs that much harder and soon the adrenaline would be wearing off which would slow her movements and make her limbs jelly at best.&nbsp; Staying out of sight from her and the human males he found a dry river bank ahead of her.&nbsp; High dirt walls that were hard from the lack of water in that area.&nbsp; Large boulders that would be hard to cross from someone in a rush and loose dirt on the ground which would make running a slow process.&nbsp; Staying off to the side, up wind, he simply waited and watched.&nbsp; It was dark enough that the human males wouldn't get a good idea of what he looked like unless they were right in front of him, which he wasn't planning on allowing.&nbsp; They were so focused on catching Arina that none of them would see him even if he was right next to them.

				"Don't let the witch escape!"<br><br>"Get her!She must be burned for her crimes!"<br><br>"Burn her!"<br><br>The men were ruthless in their pursuit of the maiden who ran for her life, the lovely creature's crime being only of what the villagers could not understand nor wanted to admit to be truthful as they had long resented Arina for her gifted ways. She healed the sick and dying with remedies that seemed almost unnatural, filled their children's heads with corrupting stories of lore and myth, but above all she still held her belief of the forest dweller who seemed to not exist. Her warnings to not take more than needed from the haunted woods fell on deaf ears, as each day she prayed to the legend for forgiveness which only angered the villagers more and more with every passing day. The last straw that sealed her fate however was the seemingly magical 'cure' she provided an young boy who had been struck with fever, his still body coming back to the world of the living after all hope had been lost as it proved to be her very downfall.<br><br>The fiery haired maiden ran as far as her slender legs would carry her, the desperate gasp of breath coming out in aching sheets as she stumbled and wound around the very forest she knew of from childhood to be her salvation. Upon her parent's own deaths did she not enter so deeply into the woods themselves, out of respect for her family's promise to live her own life not in mystery of myth as she had as an child but to become someone grounded. Fate however had long severed any chance of such to ever happen in her young life, branded an witch had long made happiness non existent. Burred from her own home the men savagely chased the poor maiden deeper into the forest's depths, the darkness barely allowing the flicker of fire that was her presence to be seen except through the small patches of light that fell from the shrouded canopy high above the forest floor.<br><br>Bare feet crunching across fallen leaves and twigs alike Arina could feel the burn of her tears streak across her terrified features, obscured briefly by the flame of her long hair that billowed out like an running flame behind herself as every step kept her only an fingertips length from her captors. Rounding around the large oak she had often as an child slept beneath Arina found her feeble attempt of escape fleeting with every passing moment, the tattered remains of her long skirts having seen the destruction of her escape as the light scratches lay across her milky flesh where flesh was available. The crimson cloak of fur provided little protection but served as an running mark for the men to follow, the warmth it once held all but lost as Arina found her weak knees threatening to buckle under her slender frame as she felt herself begin to slow.<br><br>The maiden prayed for forgiveness for those who gave chase to her that they simply feared what they did not know, as those who had been healed and brought from the brink of death were thankful for Arina's wisdom and kindness. Stumbling over herself the fiery haired maiden had become so distraught in her own fear she had not realized that her running would soon end as the empty and barren river bank of the old river long dried up soon was noticed around her much to her own dismay. Crying out softly the petite maiden's form collided in exhaustion against the dry and earthy wall of the river's side the large girth having no longer been submerged with water as now it stood as her untimely grave sight for the men who had quickly caught up.<br><br>Having cornered the witch the men leered down upon the medicine woman their torches and pitchforks glistening in the fading sunlight that had begun to disappear beyond the horizon."Hear ye witch...you are to be executed for your crimes against humanity...for your sins of magic and power no doubt from the devil itself.."the seemingly leader of the group spoke now, his watery eyes narrowing to the frightened Arina as he sneered.<br><br>"Please...I have only healed the sick...I have not committed any crimes..."Arina begged softly, her heart racing as she felt the men begin to tread closer.<br><br>"Please stop...I'm not a witch I beg of you!"

				Koda saw Arina break through the loose foliage around he opposite end of the river bank and as she hit the wall directly below him he planted his belly to the dirt as the men came through moments later.&nbsp; It had been a while since he'd heard her language, something that she'd taught him a long time ago.&nbsp; Koda's people spoke to one another mainly through low growls and body movements.&nbsp; Still, as he looked down at them he heard her desperation as she pleaded with the men and as one went to reach for her, Koda's large clawed hand shot out and gripped the top of his head, yanking him up the river bank into the shadows.&nbsp; His screams were heard briefly before they were silenced as Koda's jaws had locked around his neck and snapped it.&nbsp; As the men backed up Koda used the strength in his limbs to propel himself up and over their heads.<br><br>Landing on the soft dirt silenced his impact as he grabbed another male from behind.&nbsp; His claws digging into the male's face as he gripped the back of his head and threw him into the nearest large boulder.&nbsp; A sickening crunch sounding as his skull cracked against the unforgiving stone.&nbsp; The men fell one by one.&nbsp; Human's relied heavily on their sight and in the dark, with the limited view from a torch, Koda was able to move quickly and simply snatch up the men, taking them out one at a time till it was only the would be leader standing there gripping his torch like a life line as Koda let himself be seen this time.&nbsp; <br><br>Stepping up to him he gripped his hand that swung the torch his way and leaned down, towering over the male as black lips lifted and bared long white fangs as he growled at the male.&nbsp; His violet eyes glaring at the male as he snapped his long fangs in the male's face.&nbsp; The scent of urine let him know the male had relieved himself in fear as Koda released his hand and the male turned tail and ran like the devil himself was at his heels.&nbsp; Snorting a bit Koda looked behind him and crouched down, inspecting the small scrapes and cuts on Arina's feet and legs she wasn't in any condition to walk let alone stand.&nbsp; Standing up he looked around a bit and walked to a white weed and picked it up.&nbsp; Walking back he popped the plant into his mouth and worked up some saliva on it while chewing it.&nbsp; Pulling the paste from his tongue he began putting it on her feet.&nbsp; The paste would seal the cuts and clean them until he could get something more substantial on the wounds.<br><br>Once he was done with her feet he looked up at her and cocked his head a bit.&nbsp; He didn't remember a lot of her words so he simply lowered his ears and let her take in the sight of him to see if she remembered him.&nbsp; He wasn't the runt he used to be anymore.&nbsp; Now he was over six feet tall and very strong.&nbsp; His barrel chest was strong, still baring the scar he'd gotten from saving her from the rogue wolf, as well as a handful of other deep scars where his midnight black fur was no longer growing.&nbsp; <br><br>Sitting down on his ass he looked at her as his tail thumped on the ground to show he was in a good mood while he let her inspect him, even going as far to lift his hand so that she could see that he remembered some of the things, like how humans greet one another.&nbsp; Lifting their hand and waving to one another.&nbsp; He didn't trust himself to speak just yet after not having to do it for over a decade he wasn't sure the words would be even recognizable.&nbsp; They had some time for her to relax as that male wouldn't be back here for a while, so she could take all the time she needed to remember him.

				Closing her eyes tightly Arina held her breath as she waiting for the man to bring down the pitchfork that would no doubt bring upon the end of her life, the maiden truly helpless as for those brief few seconds before she was struck down her life flashed before her eyes. There were the times of happiness when her parents were still alive, the laughter she used to hold, all the warmth and innocence she had in every action she did. Then there were the almost magical moments of the forest and where she had come across the wolf boy and all his glory, her happiest moments spent in the depths of the woods themselves as for a moment Arina chided to herself that if there was indeed a place she was to die she would at least find happiness it was here. Yet as Arina waited for the blinding pain that would end her the maiden was confused to have such an lengthy pause, jade eyes soon opening as the space where the man had once been now seemed vacant as well as the confusion that was written across the features of the other men as well. <br><br>Blinking in confusion the screams of the men soon found themselves within Arina's ears as she gasped, the men themselves being picked off one after another by some unseen force as the shroud of darkness seemed to follow around the figure and his carnage. One by one the men's numbers began to decline until finally the last man standing was face to face with the very creature of darkness that had taken down his men with such ease, his frightened retreat leaving Arina now all alone with the monster as the maiden shook.Was it her turn now? Was this beast to be the one to end her?<br><br>Initially Arina pressed herself further against the dry wall of the river bank as the wolf approached, no doubt terrified at the sights she had witnessed by the beast as for a moment she feared she would meet her own end just as quickly.Scrambling back with a teary gasp the maiden swallowed quietly as the wolf seemed to wander off for a short moment, curiously finding himself tending to the scratched and bloody lines across her creamy legs from her fearful escape from her own village people. Flinching lightly Arina was stunned as the wolf began to paint the wounds with the herb he had chewed within his powerful maw, the fear receding from her teary features as the maiden found herself all the more curious.<br><br>Letting her doe like eyes travel across the features of the battle hungry wolf those jade gems would pause at the rather interesting and all too familiar scar painted across his chest, one that she knew from years before and yet only now could she begin to discern as to why.Those violet eyes bore down upon her and her frightened state, the midnight sheen of his black fur, the playful thumping of his tail...no it couldn't be...<br><br>Without a thought the delicate curl of Arina's hand gently and cautiously drew forward as the tips of her silken fingers traced along the old scar across the wolf's chest, her eyes wide as the realization soon hit her."K-Koda?"<br><br>It was him...the same wolf boy who had saved her all those years ago, the very same being she thought she would never see with her own eyes ever again...he had returned..and he had saved her...<br><br>

				Koda offered as close to a smile as he could, which involved his lips straining a bit as his eyes softened in her direction.&nbsp; He then tapped the tip of his nose against her forehead which was his way of greeting her when he was a pup.&nbsp; Leaning back he looked at her feet, seeing that the bleeding had slowed to a stop and the paste was doing what it needed he slid his big hands under her body and lifted her like she weighed no more than a child.&nbsp; Letting her legs drape over his arm while he held the backs of her knees and his other paw was holding her around sides, just under her arm.&nbsp; He let her rest against his hard chest as he tried to talk.<br><br>"Need healing...taking you to home.&nbsp; Rest."<br><br>He said in a rough growling tone as his voice was much deeper than it had been as a pup.&nbsp; Rough and obviously hadn't been used in quite some time.&nbsp; Like two rocks grinding on one another.&nbsp; Hopping up the river bank's wall he landed on his feet and looked back at the corpses of the human males.&nbsp; They'd make a good easy meal for some of the other predators in the area.&nbsp; Walking past the one who he'd pulled out of the river bed he headed off towards his pack home.&nbsp; Most of the pack resided in a large intricate cave system deep in the forest while he and a few of his Captains had large hut like homes just outside the cave to keep an eye on things around the area.&nbsp; His hut was made out of hard mud that had solidified into a stone like formation and his roof was that of thick leaves, mud and logs.&nbsp; His hut was about the size of a good sized tavern in her village as he had multiple rooms that he kept his things in or held pack meetings with his Captain's.<br><br>Once in his hut, he took her to his room where he set her on a pile of furs that was his bed.&nbsp; Setting her down he motioned for her to wait.&nbsp; The room was lit with small wax candles, lots of wood carvings that made up his furniture.&nbsp; Leaving the hut he went to find one of the pack healers so that she could offer more medical treatment to Arina while he informed the scouts of his pack to keep an eye out for human hunters.&nbsp; In his home, she'd also see a collection of things that she'd given him.&nbsp; Some of the old books that she'd let him have that he'd liked as a pup, some of the random bits of clothes that she'd tried to get him to wear, as well a little straw filled stuffed bear that was sitting on one of his tables.&nbsp; It had seen some years and the cloth holding the bear together was fraying, but it was still noticeably a bear.<br><br>When Koda came back in he was also with a smaller female wolf.&nbsp; She was a lot older, her fur was grey and black, her eyes soft and as she made small movements with Koda, whimpers and whines, he growled a few times and motioned to her feet with his nose.&nbsp; The female took a pot of healing salve and began using a soft brush to coat her wounds.&nbsp; A wet rag was then used a few moments later to wipe the wounds and clean them before a thicker paste was put on the wounds to fully seal them.<br><br>While this was happening, Koda was sitting on a chair to the right of Arina while the healer took care of her legs.&nbsp; As the healer finished up, a large male with dark grey fur walked in with a plate of meat, bread and some cheese as well as a cup of water.&nbsp; Setting the things down in front of Arina as he nodded to Koda.&nbsp; Koda waited till they were alone then sat in front of her again, his back propped up against a wall as his tail was still bumping the floor and he waved his hand to the food, signaling for her to eat.&nbsp; Food and water would help stir the healing along more.

				Arina could hardly believe it, it was really Koda, the young wolf cub she had befriended all those years ago. The sheer amazement of it all easily flickered within the maiden's doe like eyes, fear all but soon banished from her petite form as she had to remind herself to breath less she pass out from the pure delight she felt. It was just like all those years ago when the wolf cub had saved her from the jaws of a powerful beast as a child, the very same that she mourned his absence of when her people had sought out to find and destroy him.The warm nudge of his snout across her forehead brought the pleasant memories to the surface as Arina smiled sweetly, those sweet eyes watching Koda as he began to adjust himself before all but scooping the maiden up with almost magical ease. Gasping softly she would turn lightly in his grasp as he cradled her demure figure against his chest, Arina allowing her head to gently rest against his shoulder as she blinked. The way he spoke was rough like the very ground they stood upon, grainy and hard and yet the maiden was able to understand the wolf's bumbled words after a moment, Arina finding herself flustered as she swallowed quietly. "Y-Your home?"she repeated quietly though before she could protest any further Koda began to make his moves in the general direction. It was during this time however that Arina would glance back to the distraught path she had once come from, the same path that led back to her village who had all but outcast her.She no longer had a home to call her own as her cottage had been burned down by the angry villagers in their rage, no place to return to, it saddened the maiden greatly as she soon drew her gaze away with an disheartening sigh.<br><br>Upon seeing the huts and opening of the cave system for the first time Arina was amazed at such structures, that such lay deep within the forest almost unbelievable. Those wide eyes would remain glittering all the way into Koda's assumed hut, the massive home something that the maiden did not expect truly as she couldn't help but twist her head in wonder to it all. Feeling the soft warmth of the furs beneath her tattered and torn skirts Arina shivered softly, Koda's unexpected leave causing some alarm though the maiden did her best to remain as she was, after all her legs were a bit worse for wear and she couldn't flee too far even if she tried. It was glancing around the room however she would find her warm smile melting to the seemingly cared for treasures he had kept all this time, the most important being the little straw filled bear as it had been the last gift that Arina had given her hero before all the village had tried to hunt him down.<br><br>Reaching out Arina would pick up the small stuffed bear with kindness, it's frayed material feeling worn and thin though in all it seemed to be held together for the most part as the maiden hummed to herself. With Koda's return with the fellow female wolf Arina's attention was directed back as she sat as still as she could, not wanting to disrespect either&nbsp; wolf as well as to allow the female in question to take care of her wounds. The brush of the healing salve brought a burning sensation for a brief moment as Arina winced, though soon she grit through the rest of the treatment as she swallowed quietly, finding the soothing scent of the herbs relaxing the maiden further as she released her tense grip upon the fluff of her skirts.Once the healer had departed they would be visited by another wolf with a tray of food surprisingly, Arina feeling more and more tense as she was so cared for by the wolves who she felt she did not deserve such treatment from.<br><br>After what felt like hours the two were finally alone as Arina couldn't help but feel honored for the chance to speak to Koda privately, though perhaps talking wasn't the right course. He motioned for her to eat the lovely spread of bread and cheese, though far from hungry she did oblige as she took a piece of bread before nibbling on it lightly.Swallowing after a moment the maiden would lift her eyes to meet those violet pair of his own, the small bear held gently in her lap as she cooed sweetly."Thank you Koda...for saving my life once more...I owe you my life..."she cooed softly, her words as soft as a coo of a dove as she smiled sweetly.

				Koda watched as Arina took a small bite of her bread.&nbsp; Apparently she wasn't very hungry but she'd need to eat something in order to speed up the healing.&nbsp; However, with the fear and the emotions running rampant through her, food was the last thing on her mind he was sure.&nbsp; So he simply sat there and watched her.&nbsp; Looking to her lap he noticed she'd moved the bear and he just stared at it for a moment.&nbsp; No one in his pack was very good with cloth simply because they didn't wear clothing.&nbsp; They didn't feel the need to, while the females were bared to the world, it was just part of the society as their fur kept them warm.&nbsp; Humans had no fur to do this so they wore clothing.&nbsp; Something that Koda had found strange about Arina when he'd first met her.&nbsp; Asking why she had no fur or why she hid her body behind so many layers of cloth.<br><br>When she spoke his eyes lifted to her soft jade green ones.&nbsp; The same eyes that had captured his attention more than once before.&nbsp; The soft melodic sound of her voice soothed him so many years ago when he was nervous or upset and it still had the same affect even now.&nbsp; While his father had blamed Arina for the human hunters tracking into their territory to hunt them, Koda had never really blamed her.&nbsp; He knew she didn't have it in her to do something like that.&nbsp; However he did know that she liked to share stories so that may have been where the hunters learned of them from.&nbsp; &nbsp;Hearing her say how she owed him her life he shook his head and waved it off.&nbsp; He didn't like anyone owing him something.&nbsp; Scooting closer so that he was sitting to her side he placed his hand on his chest then moved his hand to hers.&nbsp; From his heart to hers.&nbsp; <br><br>In most normal human society, a male just randomly touching the breasts of a female was considered rude and often times resulted in a slap.&nbsp; Koda wasn't doing anything like that for a sexual advance.&nbsp; He was simply trying to communicate.&nbsp; His lips opened as he cleared his throat a bit and tried to speak.<br>"Friend.&nbsp; Special.&nbsp; Don't want you..h-harmed."<br>He ground out those words as he tried to remember how to talk and in that he stood up and grabbed one of the books she'd given him as a pup.&nbsp; Opening the book he looked at the words and recognized some of them.&nbsp; He'd have to freshen up on this book while she was here.&nbsp; Looking back at her he turned his muzzle in the direction of her home for a moment then looked back at her clothes seeing the burned markings along her clothing.<br><br>"Hunters?"<br><br>He asked as he tapped the charred scorch marks on her clothing and began checking her skin for burns.&nbsp; Lifting her skirts up higher on her legs to search for any burns.&nbsp; He didn't go too high, but high enough to show her thighs.

				In truth there were many thoughts racing through the maiden's head as she sat quietly to herself, the small nibble of bread more so for Koda's sake than her own as she didn't want to appear rude to his offering. Even now Arina was tormented with the betrayal of her own kind against her as her only intent had been to heal those who were sick, surely not her business to conjure up demons and plagues as the villagers so thought she was. Deep down it saddened the maiden to know that everything she had worked for was now all but an scorching pile of ashes, her family's legacy no doubt tarnished by herself and her supposed dealings with the evil occult. What did the maiden have left in this world now?With the sad passing of her parents and no other family to call her own Arina was at an loss, those jade gems flickering sadly for a brief moment before she felt the rather warm and rough brush of Koda's hand against the plush silk of her heaving chest, the action jerking Arina from her own thoughts quickly as she offered a blink.<br><br>It was a jarring gesture at first though soon enough Arina would settle herself as she let her eyes flicker to his own piercing violet, his garbled words finding their way to her ears as she understood.That was right...if nothing else she had Koda in her life, something the maiden was more than thankful for as the ruby hue of her lips curled lightly in a warm smile before cooing. "Thank you Koda...I really do cherish our friendship...more than words can describe.."she hummed back sweetly, her hand raising to gently lay over top his own across her own beating heart, to signify just how grateful she truly was for his presence. <br><br>The bittersweet sadness that Arina had been filled with was soon replaced as she watched the wolf curiously, his rough speech and broken english something that made the maiden want to ease his troubles though he seemed to be on a discovery path of his own.Stalking over to the various books she had gifted him she offered a small giggle, no doubt amused as she watched him silently.That was until he mused about the hunters who had been sent after herself, his concern with her singed skirts making Arina give a soft shake of her head."Yes..they had come after me after I had healed a deathly sick child...they burned my home down-K-Koda!"the maiden was startled no doubt by Koda's rather curious exploration, the wolf quickly easing the material of her thick skirts upward in a way that well, wasn't quite modest to say the least.<br><br>She wasn't angry however more so she had been taken back by his actions, the material of her skirts pooling around her hips as he revealed the firm yet creamy texture of her thighs to the air, an inch higher would have had worse consequences though even now Arina felt her features burn fiercely with the rosy hue of a blush. "I-I'm fine really...they didn't hurt me...I promise."

				Koda stopped as he looked up at her and cocked his head to the side, one of his ears flopping much like a normal dog when it was confused or curious.&nbsp; Seeing the pink hue to her cheeks and catching the scents of embarrassment in the air his ears pinned to his head as he lowered the skirts of her dress and looked away for a moment.&nbsp; Moments later his ears perked as his nose turned toward his window.&nbsp; A few howls rang out through the night air and the furs on the back of his neck stood straight up as he stood up when the male who had brought her food came in.&nbsp; A few grunts and growls were exchanged before Koda turned and picked up Arina.<br><br>He carried her into the cave itself and sat her on another bed of furs.&nbsp; There she was with the older female who had healed her feet as rows of wolves were all running out of the cave.&nbsp; All males and all looking like they were about to go to war.&nbsp; Koda looked at Arina and smiled a tight smile as he placed his hand on his chest and then to hers.&nbsp; He then took off after the other wolves.&nbsp; He was on all fours once more to be able to cover more ground a lot faster.&nbsp; In the cave, Arina would also see that his pack had several dozen members.&nbsp; Easily almost one hundred wolves, and that was just what she would be able to see if she turned her neck any direction but the cave went much further back down winding tunnels.<br><br>The cave was lit by candles placed in areas that held the most members and all of the members simply moved on with life as the warriors were out.&nbsp; One female, who looked much older, came walking over.&nbsp; She looked like a female version of Koda, about a foot or so shorter.&nbsp; She walked over and the older healer female bowed and backed off as the female examined Arina with soft ice blue eyes.&nbsp; Sniffing her she offered a much more human smile as she looked out to where Koda had vanished.&nbsp; When she spoke, she'd apparently had more practice with speech then Koda.<br><br>"So you are the female that met my pup all those years ago?"<br><br>He words were still a little strained but she had a very feminine ring to her voice and a very motherly aura around her as she sat on the floor beside Arina while Koda and the warriors were hunting the human Hunter's that had entered their territory.&nbsp; Most likely a quickly gathered force to hunt Koda, unknowing that there were a lot more than one of him.

				Swallowing quietly Arina feared she had upset Koda for a brief moment for her embarrassed outburst, though all things considering it was a far more curious inquest that the pair had taken part of since their initial meeting and friendship all those years ago. After all she had only been a child back then as such modesty hadn't been so much as enforced as it was now, she was very much a woman now as there was little doubt certain features had matured making for quite the bit of bashfulness to overcome as the curious wolf had tried to check her over for anymore wounds. swallowing quietly the maiden had barely managed to smooth over her skirts once more before the entrance of the previous wolf, along with a no doubt coded message in growls and yips was made signalling for Koda to all but carry Arina off to yet another undetermined destination yet again. Blinking curiously the fiery haired maiden was carried deeper into the sanctuary of the wolf's den as the literal overflow of wolfs in flux took the maiden back, to see so many of his pack it felt like it's own lively city of sorts, many sorts all going about their business through the carved tunnels of the cave and so on. There was however something amiss as it seemed all the males were preparing for a battle of sorts, the stern expressions on their sharp features telling of war to come as the sight worried Arina no doubt. <br><br>Though the feel of Koda's hand resting against her own once more lulled the maiden to offer a soft smile in return, Koda soon taking off as he seemed intent on finishing the battle that no doubt had irrupted due to her presence within the forest. Guilt ridden Arina could only watch with peeked curiosity over the swarm of wolves all making their way out from the cave, enough to distract her long enough to nearly jolt to attention as she heard a much more human pattern of speech by a fairly feminine sound more than anything. She was quite used to Koda's rough and broken voice to say the least as jade gems flickered to the source of the more human voice only to discover a beautiful she wolf drenched in the same midnight black fur akin to Koda's own. Straightening herself Arina&nbsp; respectfully gave a small bow of her head to the approaching wolf, her words ringing in her head for a moment before she answered quietly."Yes...Koda had saved me when I was but a child..my name is Arina..."she cooed as formally as she could before her next choice of words soon left her lips.<br><br>"You are Koda's mother?"

				The smaller female, Tara, smiled and gave a soft nod to her inquiry of her being Koda's mother.&nbsp; She looked back at where Koda had run off to and then looked over at her once more.<br>"Koda's father, the Alpha at the time, hadn't taken to kindly to his pup being hunted by humans and so he forbid Koda from venturing into your area after the humans began searching for him.&nbsp; Koda's father actually blamed you for that.&nbsp; Koda never did, he defended you saying that you liked to tell stories and share your feelings...as does any pup.&nbsp; Alpha's can't be forgiving.&nbsp; Toka meant no disrespect in blaming you but the safety of our pup is paramount.&nbsp; I still caught Koda searching the forest for you till Toka put Koda through Alpha training.&nbsp; He was far too tired to leave after that.&nbsp; You made quite the impression on my pup.&nbsp; So I wanted to come and see you for myself.&nbsp; Koda is the one who taught me how to speak like you...he lost track of it during his training but I kept up with it."<br><br>Smiling again she worked her jaws a bit as talking for an extended period of time worked muscles in her jaw that she wasn't used to so her jaw grew tired quickly and she needed to stretch it here and there to help.&nbsp; Tara then inspected her feet for a moment and grabbed a few pieces of leather scraps.&nbsp; She held them up to her feet and seemed to be sizing her feet for a moment then smiled as she nodded.&nbsp; While she sat there she used thick leather cords to begin stitching together make shift boots for Arina so that she wouldn't have to run or walk around bare footed, while she kept her ears pointed toward Arina in case she had any further questions for her.<br><br>Koda on the other hand was sitting at the edge of the creek bed with over forty other wolves as a band of human hunters were picking up the bodies of their dead and fanning out to search for the monsters that did this.&nbsp; Koda simply looked at them and motioned of his wolves to move back into the shadows.&nbsp; They moved back to his territory line and simply sat there waiting.&nbsp; The line that they were at was where they would stay and if a human crossed it, they were dead.&nbsp; Over the course of the next hour or so, a fight erupted as several humans had come into his territory and he and his wolves attacked them.&nbsp; The first few went down without a sound but one managed a scream and that drew the others to him.&nbsp; The fight raged on as humans fought the massive wolves, or tried to.&nbsp; In the end, three wolves were injured and all but six of the humans had been killed or wounded enough to not be able to fight.<br><br>When the humans retreated Koda and his men headed home.&nbsp;

				So she had been correct to assume the she wolf was Koda's mother, it was really somewhat obvious though as Arina could see the tell tale resemblance in the two wolves, both seemingly quite kind to herself after all.The news that Koda's father however disapproved of their relationship did dampen the maiden's spirits somewhat, after all it was a worthy cause for alarm considering the aftermath she had brought upon the tribe."Forgive me for my foolishness...I did not intend for this to put a burden on either you or your tribe.."Arina apologized sadly, feeling guilt ridden she had caused so much suffering to not only Koda himself but for his extended family and followers, her intentions had only been innocent in the thick of it though it would seem she had caused quite a bit of trouble regardless. Hearing she had made an impression upon Koda however did lift her spirits somewhat, the maiden offering a soft smile to Tara as she gave another soft bow of her head.&nbsp; "I am happy to hear he thinks so highly of me...though I would think it is more the opposite as he has done so much for my own sake truly."she mused quietly, forever grateful for the wolf for all these years from both their friendship as well as his gift of knowledge that would help her aide those who are sick and dying.<br><br>What she did not expect however was Tara's overwhelming kindness as she tended to the maiden and her lack of foot wear, taking it upon herself to dress Arina in leather foot wear just as kindly as a mother to a babe would. It touched Arina's heart truly as she couldn't help but feel a deep pang in her own heart to her mother who was just as sweet and warm hearted."I am eternally grateful for your kindness from both you and your son ma'am..you all have done so much for me I can't begin to express how honored I am for your generosity."she cooed sweetly once more, her eyes falling to the she wolf as she swallowed quietly.
