Freedom. To become free again was a dream only one can wish for, at least if they were half as dense as her when she left her pack. Other things were on her mind, and now, this was her punishment. Floriana was now a loner, gone rogue. Before, in her life, sure it wasn't exciting, but hey, it was something. Noticing the peaceful and quiet view, she chuckled a little. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad. Besides, she could do whatever and whenever she want. No longer bound by the chains of wrong or right. But something told her in her heart, she was still good. Or was she? Right now, she cared nothing about the good, evil, or neutral allies and enemies. If she was a murderer, no one would care. So this was what it was like being free.. Over time, your mind would be corrupted, no longer knowing right from wrong. And it wasn't the way for her. But, since Flo was free now, she might as well enjoy it... Now. Closing her eyes, she listened to the sounds of the wind, and could hear these last words as she drifted into a almost lightly disturbed, deep sleep.

Enjoy while you can..

Life was good now, she had finally found her pack that she could be happy in. Though for her young nature she still did enjoy her adventurous way of life. Running free through the freelands, having no worries about anything, oh yes this was the life! Still, this wolf knew her place and always remembered how lonely she was before finding her place in the neutral pack. Marlina was very much happy, here geen eyes scanned the terrain and sighed to its beauty. Her coat coloration of white, grey and black shinned as she walked along the tall grass. Tail floating behind her and ears pirked high in the air for all types of sounds. Then Marlina's noise lifted as a smell came across her maw. "Another wolf?" she whispered in excitment. Of course for this young female she was always excited unless her pack was in danger. She gazed around slowly looking for the other creature and began to bound toward the newcomer.

Being the graceful and usually perky female she was, Floriana had already sensed Marlina in her sleep. As her parents would always say, be alert now and then. Maybe she could learn from them after all. Besides, this was her life, she could easily dispose of it or transform it into anything she wanted. Her pale, usually light blue and amber eyes seem to wonder at what life would hold in store for her. No doubt, something nice, for she had never, or at least didnt think she had, ever commited such a horrible sin. Actually, she wouldn't have cared if the great gods themselves killed her right now. They were horrible, killing her parents in an accident. Not killing them theirselves, but this was the way she was thinking. Shaking herself throughly, yet again, she opened her eyes and glanced up at the new wolf. Welcoming her with a wave of her tail, she offered a spot right next to her, as it was quite amusing and fun to listen to stories. Right now, boredom was getting the best of her, so their must be a way to cure this.. Maybe the stranger would help?

Legs moving to fast for her body to catch up, Marlina tumbled to the ground as she aproached the new canine in the lands. Giggling, she blew the grass from her face and once again got her stance back. Green eyes looked over the new female and a big smile came over her maw as she was feeling excited just like a young pup would on its first days out of the den. Though Marlina was already 3 years old, she couldnt ever overcome her wildness nature, but she knew the difference of when to have fun and when to be serious. Marlina sat in front of the female and smiled once again as she spoke "Hello... I am Marlina. What is your name?" Her tail twitched as she felt anxious, it had been awhile since she had seen a new face around and this was turing out to be a fun day of which she thought was going to be boring. Waiting patiently, the multi-colored female watched a butterfly as it passed by her white nose and between her black ears.

Floriana managed a slight smile, amused at seeing the female tumble on the grass. Even though it looked really fun.. Maybe just once she could do something like that, besides no one was here to watch her other than this full grown female, who really looked more of a pup than a full grown wolf. Shrugging a little, she rolled over in the grass a few times, and let out a excited laugh. She had almost forgot how it felt to play around again. All she ever learned was to be serious, and be lady like. Well not here in the wild. She can be a pup again. She was free and enjoying it as much as she can! Staring at the butterfly passing through, Flo batted at it, missing of course. "My names Floriana. Hi Marlina!" Excited at having a new friend, well maybe she doesn't know her that well, but hey, she considered anyone she talked with her friend. "We're gonna have fun, right? Have fun while this we're here right now?" She asked, her eyes shining brighter than ever, losing its bored, dull look, and forgeting her stressful past.

Wind blowing through her coat, Marlina smiled again and laughed joyously. This was the most excitment she had had in several months. Even though she had played around with her pack mates, this was more fun to her. When she was in her pack she couldnt really get to the full extent of play unless there were young playful pups around that she had to take care of while the other adults were out. Marlina popped out of her thoughts and back to reality as Flo spoke. Giving a quick nod, she giggled again "Well yea, of course we can have fun!" Marlina stood up slowly and wondered to herself for awhile and then glanced back to her companion. "So what pack are you from? I havent seen you around here." Feeling abit stupid for asking that question, she shook her head. Of course she isnt from around here, if Marlina hasnt ever seen Flo before she couldnt possibly be from here. Her ears went down slowly as more thoughts came to mind. Flo was a rouge just like she used to be before she found the Whispering Mountain Clan. She hated those days and was glad that they were over. Marlina always felt so alone and scared that things were going to kill her, and if she accidently went into another clan's territory. A shiver went up her spine and shook her head some, a smile appeared again on her muzzle and her attention went back to Flo as she waited for her answer.

[Airamiss]

A new feeling came into her chest, one she had only felt when she was a pup. Carefree maybe? She didn't have to worry about anything or anyone. Right now, Floriana could just focus on herself and her new found friend, Marlina. She had never had a friend like her. Marlina was just so childish, but Flo knew she could be serious when she had to be. All of the other females in her pack act snobby and everything. It was almost a law to be graceful and not be immature. "Isn't this great, Marlina?! We arent bound by the laws of anything, and being free is just great. You can be yourself for once." She said, a smile playing on her face. When Marlina mentioned a pack, her eyes started to turn dull again. Remembering her pack and her past made her seem small, like a child almost. Now, she felt and looked surprisingly lost in this territory. Managing or in other words, forcing another smile to show, she tried to be cheerful, for herself and for Marlina. "Well, I'm not from here at all." She said, trying hard not to let on to much information. Floriana was the best hunter in her pack, and she had never thought about anything hunting her when she left, and she still didn't think about that, and she probably never will, unless a bear or lion had her in their jaws. Maybe being as dense as she was wasn't that great after all..

Marlina noticed the sudden strange feeling between her and Flo. It was weird, so she thought of something else to by pass the question. Before she could think of anything, Flo had already replied with just a few words. Giving a small smile, Marlina nodded slowly and understood by she didnt mention anything else. Marlina wouldnt mention things either if she was asked that question, but that was only because she never talked about the past and just moved on to the future. Her future included a new life and home with friends that loved her and would protect her, of course she would do the same thing to anyone else who had befriended her. Marlina moved on away from the questions about her pack and thought that she could try and make Flo feel better about the past, and teach her the things that she had learned from her alpha. Those words of wisdom really helped her out with creating her new life and maybe it would help Flo as well. Clearing out her throat and scratching her neck with her back paw, another smile appeared "Well dont worry about with your past because with life yesterday is history, the future is a mystery, and today is a gift, thats why they call it the present." Her eyes locked on with Flo's as she finished her sentence and remembered the first time her alpha Luna had said those words to her. Luna was a good friend to her as well as a good leader to everyone who needed guidance. Marlina would soon need to get back to her pack, but right now this was her time to have fun and maybe show Floriana around the territory.

[Airamiss]

Flo smiled and then nudged Marlina on the shoulder slightly. "Its okay, you didnt know. Besides, I have you with me right now, and thats all I could ask for." She said, with a genuine look of satisfaction showing. For someone like Flo, it seemed only natural for her to get all defensive when someone asks about her past. But with Marlina, she seemed to like her to much to even hurt her feelings. She had never had a true friend before, and she felt a warm feeling inside of her. So this is what pure friendship was like. Knowing that Marlina was here with her right now already comforted her, and hearing her say such kind words had made Flo seemed blessed right now. "Since we're here together right now, lets enjoy to the best we can." She said. As if trying to be serious, she chased her tail around, to show Marlina that she was okay, and still the same old her, that enjoys company. "Maybe you can show me around your pack to." She suggested slowly, before smiling at Marlina with a grin, that showed she didn't really mean it, although it would be nice. And who knew what packs like these would be like. They could hate newcomers or whatever. A new start, a new life. Time to turn over a new leaf, huh?

[Apalla (admin)]

The female smiled and nodded to her as she began to feel better that Flo was getting happy again. Marlina sighed in relief and then giggled to what Floriana was starting to do. She used to do the same things when she was a young pup and when she first discovered her tail as she started to learn how to walk. Remembering those times of her young life was good, but some things about it she couldnt replace or make better. Though, she survived and made a better future for herself and perhaps others as well. Marlina laughed again and nodded, "Yes..I could show you around my pack...my alpha shouldnt mind..." she paused for a moment to think and then spoke again. "Well. At least I dont thing she will mind." Marlina smiled slightly but knew even though if she couldnt show Flo her pack, she could still show her the other lands. She glanced around to the valley and sniffed the air checking for anything that might be near. Of course so far there was nothin, but you never know. Marlina stood up and nudged Floriana with a laugh. "Come on! Lets go roam. I will show you around."

[Airamiss]

Floriana, seeing that marlina was giggling at her, shot her a dark look, that looked offended, being a joke of course. Chasing her tail was something she had always wanted to do, never getting the chance of course. Now, seeing this new life, she kinda felt resentful that she didn't start on these stranger, almost alien behaviors her parents would have scolded her for in a second earlier. "Really? That'll be awesome, Marlina! Maybe I could meet a new friend to." She said, but Flo hadn't really expected Marlina to say yes. Her alpha would have never let newcomers in their territory. Maybe that was what they were missing. Her pack had aways been tight, like a family, and was weary of any other wolves other than the one belonging to the pack. "Maybe we could even explore the other lands!" Her eyes flashing mischieviously at the idea. Besides, what was the worst the other alphas or wolves could do? Kill them? Yea right. "Great, lets go!" She exclaimed, before starting to follow Marlina, a grin obviously on her face.

[Apalla (admin)]

The young she wolf smiled and trotted along beside her friend, her tail wagged as she moved through the tall grass. She was so comfortable in being herself and figured that Flo felt the same way. Marlina closed her eyes as she walked and felt peace within the lands, as if her heart, mind and soul was one with the land. She listened to Floriana's words and nodded as she giggles slightly. Then as she heard Flo speak of the other territories she opened her eyes and thought weary. She slowed her pace and glanced to the ground and then to Flo. Marlina questioned herself some before speaking wondering if it was a good idea to venture into other lands. She looked around before speaking back to Flo. "Umm, well I dont know about the other lands. I mean the only lands I really venture to is my clan's, sometimes my alphess's sister territory and here. Though the only reason I really go to my alphess's sister lands is because I was told to, other than that I dont go anywhere else. It is forbidden." Green eyes locked on with Floriana's, thenh she slowly continued. "Sarabi's territory is forbidden, but that is only for our protection. If sarabi caught us in her lands she would kills us in seconds without caring." Marlina looked away and into the distance towards the evil lands. She stared in that direction for awhile before looking back towards Flo waiting for any responce.

[Airamiss]

Floriana had to smile as Marlina smile. It made her feel so happy and at peace to see her friend like this. It was like she was in her friends mind. Whatever she feels, Flo would feel. And hey, thats not that bad of a feeling, since being happy was something she was good at, even if having to force it. Seeing Marlina look uncomfortable at the mention of the other lands, she gulped and wondered if she said something wrong. Hearing the words about the other territories, she shrugged a little at the thought of the so called Sarabi killing herself. It wouldnt hurt to die. Maybe she could visit her parents then. But getting Marlina hurt was something she was worried about.. Her new friend getting hurt or even killed? That pained her heart greatly. Looking a little bit thoughtful, she nodded slowly, very slowly. "Okay, we wont cross the border towards the border. At least not with you with me." She said, and then added hastily, "Not with you anywhere near me if that is okay for you." A part of her was stubborn, so stubborn she wanted to go to the other lands and check them out, no matter what. Besides, if the best the evil lands could do is kill her, she would rather die anyways. It wasnt like she liked to live anyways, besides, like they say, living through something is always experience. "You can just show me your lands now, and forget about the other lands." Floriana said, before staring towards the evil lands that Marlina was looking at. She had to go there. No matter what, and at any cost to herself. For some reason she couldnt explain, something was attracting her there. Maybe to lure her to her death, but it would be well worth it.
