Starlight walked up to the border.Looking at the beach her eyes softened comepletly.She was moved by the sight.A true wonderful and glorious place she thought.Her white gray sprinled pelt was lean showing her hardships being on her own.She prayed that the alpha that lived here would let her join.Letting out a harmonizing howl she listened for a response.Her light baby blue eyes shone like a light that had just been made.This was one way how she had gotten her name.The other was that her mother loved that name and thought it matched her.Rembering her mother made her proud instead of sad.Her mother had died bravely proctecting her as a pup from a tiger.

Smoke-washed auds tilted north, catching the fading sound of a wolf's howl as it echoed across his shores. Ashen dial tilted into the wind, the soft sea-breeze filling his nares with the scent of the fae. He rose from where he sat percked apon one of the tall rocks and streched the thick muscles benieth his ghost-hued pelt. pale brown paws carried him across the cold white sand. He rounded a bend in the beach where the wolf waited for him. Banner and head held high, his stance radiated his autority are the alpha of the pack. The femm was delicate and thin, years of trials were written in the lined of her body, except for her eyes. They looked alive and warm, like when a pup opens their eyes for the first time. It was as if all her pains couldn't dim the light in her eyes. He walked up to her and almost regretted what he had to do. He bared the tip of one of his yellow daggers, his pale yellow orbs never leaving her's.

"Sumbit yourself to me and speak your name. I will not hurt you, for I can see you have had enough hardships."

His voice was gentle and his tail swayed a bit to convay comfort. HE couldn't pull his gaze away from her blue eyes as he awaited her answer.

Starlight watched as a male wolf appeared.She knew from the moment she saw him that he was the male alpha.When he showed her the tip of his sharp dagger she lowered her tail and head."I'm Starlight and i seek a home,"she in a whisper like a gentle breeze over the ocean.Her eyes shone brighter and looked like they were dancing around.She met his eyes with hers.Her eyes spoke of her history in a magical like way although this was real.

Again those star-blue eyes dazzled him, as if they gazed out from far away, but felt so close that you could almost touch. And her creamy moonwashed pelt seemed to glow in the gentle light. He let her voice carry him away on the salty sea breeze for a moment before he spoke.

"Starlight, you seek a home and you have found it here. These lands are vast and beautiful, and I hope that you find happiness here."

He knew these next words would be harsh for a wolf that had seen the things she had, but they must be said.

"It took a lot of courage to come here. There are a few rules to live by, and they are not to be broken or you forefit your life. If there is ever a battle to be fought to preserve this land, you must be at the borders with your teeth in our enemy's throat. No changing sides. In the lean part of winter, all food killed by a member of the pack belongs to the pack. You must share. Yourself, your mate and your pups first. Then other pups and female's, and then the other males. If you find a mate outside of our borders, bring her to me first, and you have my blessings. This land is free for you to roam. From the shores to the high mountains is our vast pack lands. There is a stream that runs to the ocean with fresh water. Hunt what you like, but do not waste. Any other rule changes will be mentioned at pack gatherings. If you find our home and rules suitible, you may enter."

He had given her the choice and now he jmust wait to here her responce.

Starlight listened to what Kahota said and her eyes lit up when he said she could stay.Then they dimmered when he spoke of the rules.Once he was done her eyes flared up more but not to their full extent.True few has ever saw them go to their full extent and its a wonderful thing if they do.Silently she dipped her head to Kahota in acceptance."I will follow your rules for as long as i live here,"she said.His words about a mate had disturbed her at first.For in truth she had never thought about taking a mate.She thought about it before looking at Kahota again.Smiling she wanted to know more about thisd pack."Are their any others that live here,"she asked her voice taking on that gentle whisper agin of the sea.She had never met any other species except for her kind and a tiger that had almost killed her.Rembering that day made her angry and sad at the same time.Her eyes flared up except for her eye color that turned to baby blue for the sadness in her.After awhile she calmed down and her eyes went back to glowing normal.

He saw her eyes dim as he spoke and it made him feel a litte sad. "There are three other wolves and three tigers. Do not fear them though, they are gently and kind. If you like you can follow me back to the den and get to know part of the pack."

Starlight was a little nervous when he said their were tigers in the pack.She then realized they must be okay if their in the pack.Her eyes glowed a bit brighter when she was given the oppourtunity to meet some of the other pack members."Okay,"she said her voice more certain than before.She wagged her tail a bit then waited for him to lead the way to the others.Smiling she perked her ears a bit listing to the sea gulls as they call to one another over the beach.

He lifted his head and banner high once again as he lead the way down the beach. They reached the looming cliff walls and large sun-bathing rocks and he didn't pause for a moment as he padded through some greenery that grew out of the wall. To others it would appear as if he was walking through the towering stones, but there was a hidden entrance there that was just big enough to allow a large tiger to enter crouched down. He poked his head out and motioned for her to follow him in. A short tunnel lead to a small valley, with a small stream that cascaded down the side of one cliff to pool in the center, then drain out into some underground water source. There, a short distace away was the den's entrance, sheltered by more dead greenery. "Welcome home," he whispered, still awed by the place he had found. He sat back apon his haunches and threw back his dial, letting out a long eerie howl to his pack. It called to those who wished to come and meet the rest of the growing pack.

Starlight followed silently behind Kahota a smile on her face as she watched the beach and everything else.Suprised when it looked like Kahota was walking through some mountains.Padding before she saw a hole.Making her way through she saw one of the most buetiful thing she ever had.In that instant her eyes shined to their full light.Then it was gone in a few heartbeats.Looking around astonished she heard a howl near her.Turning she saw Kahota howling to the pack.
