Paws graced over the foliage, a form weeved through the forest. A frown marred the blue maw of the gray femora. She'd been staying in the forest for a rather long time with no contact to the pack unless Kaizun called everyone, other than those moments she kept to herself. Why? Ever since Cadence became Beta she felt she would only bother him if she went to mingle with him. Cadence had been the one she found a somewhat friendship in. They had been captured by the humans, stuck together then, and then reunited after escaping before they were to be at a pack meeting where Cadence had been crowned as Beta of the Alpine pack.

A sigh escaped her muzzle as she plopped on her haunches wrapping her blue, white tipped, tail around her side as she closed her ocean blue eyes. Her pendent shimmered before a blue mist began to curl up in front of her. When she opened her eyes she found that of a small fox, perhaps a young pup that had barely began life, sitting in front of her with it's head cocked to the side in curiosity. "Hrm..." She pondered to herself, perhaps she let her mind slip and she subconsciously summoned the little creature.

No matter, atleast she now had company. "What's your name kit..." She murmured to it and she saw the fox smile as her eyes curved while she got up on her feet. The fox made a small circle before bounding away from Amaya. Amaya tilted her head before she got up and followed after the Spirit. Soon enough the following turned into a game of chase and Amaya found herself grinning as she chased after the kit who floated through the air remaining only a few paw steps in front of her. Amaya pulled to a stop when the spirit leaped from a ledge and she peered down it. It wasn't a long drop, but one that would catch someone unexpected and most likely hurt them in surprise. She watched as the spirit twisted and twirled through the air down and down until it reached the bottom and took off again.

Amaya grinned humorously before she leaped off and landed in an omph as she skidded down the side. She crouched as she began to come upon the ground before she shoved off the edge and took off in a sprint after the spirit intent on catching it as a small sign of mirth coiled inside her. Unusual? Indeed it was, but she always enjoyed playing with spirits.

She couldn't help but laugh as the fox spirit suddenly realed around and rushed at her causing her to skid to a stop and duck just as the spirit rushed over her head brushing against her audits. She grinned, spun around, and lopped after the spirit again. She ran and ran, enjoying the wind through her fur and watching the spirit dance around the air. Then there was a faint sound, a moving of paws across the ground. One moment she was running by herself with just the spirit, the next a familiar form was running along side her, didn't say a word, but matched her pace exactly. She looked at him out the side of her eyes.

Finally she looked away when he remained silent and slowly stopped her run, slowing into a jog, and soon a walk, then finally slowling to a stop. Her chest heaved with light pants as the Fox spirit whirled around her form before perching itself atop her head looking curiously at Cadence. "What brings you here?" She asked quite distatched from her words. She felt awkward, her friend was now a higher rank than her. She was torn from showing him his deserved respect or showing friendship too him. She had no idea if you could do both and so she assumed you could only do one.

She slowly sat back curling her tail around her side as the fox rolled from her head to perch at the front of her paws. She gazed down at the kit in a mild humor before swirling her eyes a different direction, but kept an ear perked towards Cadence to let him know she was not ignoring him. She made a light frown as she pondered to herself. Shaking her head lightly she finally turned her gaze to Cadence and waited his answer.

It was his simply reply that brought Amaya to bring her gaze to meet his in a slight wonder. The spirit's fur ruffed a moment before twirling into itself before disappearing before their eyes. Her? Why would he come here just for her? She pried her gaze off of him as she soon felt herself relaxing again. Perhaps she was being a foolish child with the way she was seeing this. She knew back at her old pack, before she was kicked out, one of her best friends had became a higher rank than her and the next thing she knew she was merely a ghost that he never once looked at again. Her tail twitched at the thought of her old pack and a dark look passed behind her eyes before it was gone as quick as it came. "I see..." She could feel her muzzle twitch with a grin that was wanting to show itself, but she refused it. For all she knew he was here strictly on 'business' than just to see her.

She suddenly blinked. No one had known she could summon spirits, now he did. She gave a light shrug at that thought and cast it aside to ponder on later. She closed her eyes a moment. It had been a long while since she summoned a spirit, and doing it subconsciously only made her a bit more tired than usual. Shaking it off mentally she opened her eyes and looked at Cadence, this time not looking so detached this time. "How you been, Cade?" She asked curiously, truely genuine in her question of his wellbeing. She had missed conversing with him, but with him being a Beta now she always figured him to busy to just simply hang around.

There was another curt answer. What, did he loose his vocabul...- Her thought process suddenly ceased functioning as his single word fully absorbed. She could have gapped at him, Cadence had actually said such a word?! Holding it in, she merely stared at him again. Had she been anyone but Amaya she would have gone all giddy like any femora would over such a simple word spoken from a handsome brute. Wait...since when did she start seeing Cade as handsome anyhow?! She shook her head and a light chuckle slipped from her muzzle before she could contain it. How could she not? It was Cadence for Animus' sake! How could she not chuckle at such a word coming from the brute's muzzle. This time, at the twitch of her muzzle, she allowed the grin to pull back her muzzle. "And loneliness brought you here then I am guessing?" It was just a way to keep a conversation up, and then maybe perhaps remind him that he, Cadence, had uttered the word himself.

Her blue audits twitched, swerved to the side as the sound of leaves and twigs rustling and snapping in half. The scent of elk soon drifted into her nostrils and she looked off into the direction. When was the last time she had something other than small rabbits? Unconsciously she slid her tongue over her chops in a hungry sort of fashion before she was quick to shake it off and turned her attention away from the creature not eleven tails away. "So how's life as Beta? Kaizun keeping you busy?" She asked idly, half interested and the other half not quite that interested.

She lifted a single paw up, a bluish light swirling around to the tip of her claw before a small racoon swirled into view, glowing the same blue color that had swirled around Amaya's paw, "By the way...I can summon spirits..." She gave a half teasing grin as she winked at him. Sure she knew he probably already deducted that, but she felt better now that she actually told him one of her gifts.

Audits perked forward as Cade spoke. The words seemed to settle in and she felt herself try and relax, but there was a deeper side that told her not too. He was still her Beta now, and maybe she still resented the fact that he had been giving the position, but wouldn't any other wolf who had been in the pack longer? Finally she let one side win the inner battle and she looked away from Cadence. He was here on his own, not because Kaizun probably sent him. Maybe their friendship wouldn't change just because Cadence was appointed Beta.

With a much friendlier and normal note she use to speak to him in she asked, "You up for a hunt?" She looked at him out the corner of her eye. Eager to hear his response and hoping it would be an agreement. She hadn't had a nice taste of elk in a long while and shew as more than anxious to sink her fangs deep into the juicy meat of the herbivore.

OoC: sorreh D: The old one had been a lot longer, but i lost that post ;-;

Audits twitched and moved as she kept pace with the targetted elk. Her tongue lolled to the side as she huffed a moment for breath that seemed to be scarce in her lungs. It angered her, to still be feeling the effects of her time with the humans. She was at the point of giving up the thought of ever becoming normal again. Seeing Cadence race along before throwing himself at the beast and latching onto it's neck and dangle there.

She shifted and sped her pace. On the next few steps she pushed herself off the ground with her back paws launching herself at the elk. Front claws dug into the flanks of the elk. She slipped a bit and claws raked over the elk causing it to buck it's hind legs managing to slam a hoof into her right flank. Fur bristled in anger as she kicked her back feet. Claws caught the flesh of the bucking hind legs and she was able to push herself up onto the back of the fleeing beast.

That was just great. Now she had an injured leg to go along with her unhealthy body. She scrambled up the back of the Elk trying to keep from falling off the slowing down elk. Claws tore the flesh to shreds when she would slip and when she reached the shoulders of the elk she shoved herself off the back. Her fangs caught the horns as she flew over them. The momentum flung her around and managed to knock the elk right over. sending it flipping right over her back and slamming against the ground. She panted as she plopped against the ground in a sit. She didn't even bother to look and make sure Cade had managed to get free of the elk before it flipped over against the ground. Rather she left him to finish killing the elk that was now on the ground flailing about as if to kick it's last defense.
