Spring and the Wonders of New Earth (open)

The beauty of New Earth was something to be cherished. Even though radiation had tainted it so badly after the Third World War, and humanity had still caused the wounds on it's skin, the Earth had mostly healed from their deadly touch. The rain was coming more frequent, and making the world beautifully green once again. He could only guess that the atmosphere was slowly healing, though how, Mikahel was unsure.

Being stuck in a mortal form was rather annoying. He never knew what was going on with New Earth. He was pretty sure when he had been immortal, as a demi-god, his powers had allowed him to sense the world around him much easier. Though he wasn't sure if that was the truth, he sometimes felt so in tune with the wind and waves when he just stood here like this, that Mikahel swore he had retained some of that power from his previous life.

As he slowly walked along the white sand of Silver Beach, the scent of the ocean played with his nose. His nostrils flared, the salt tang in the air bit through the crisp underlying smell of just the pure water. The sand beneath his paws pressed in between his pads, and felt warm and soft. He felt that uncontrollable urge to run that he usually got when he went to the beach and stepped on the sand. Something about it's looseness and freedom of movement, something about the way it felt in between his toes and pads... he didn't even know what this innate desire was, but something tugged at his body, pulling him and telling him to move faster.

He fought it though. It was hot today, at least for spring and his thick, dark fur made even just walking out in full on sun, a chore. But he was here because he needed to get away from the pack for a few moments. Just to think. He loved the pack, they were everything to him and all he cared about, but sometimes it was impossible to think around all the other wolves. Especially during spring when all the pups were being born on a more consistent basis.

Mikahel smiled as he thought of the tiny squirming bundles of fur that were supposed to be wolves but reminded him more of large, squealing hamsters when they were born. Such beautiful little creatures, he sighed and continued with his walk, not even realizing he had stopped.

[Ercival]

Ercival had managed to sneak out and his young paws just led him all the way here. The sand was a very new substance to him, completely different compared to the hard stone and concert in the tunnels. The young pup couldn't help but lose his footing, his paws sinking into the warm and soft substance known as sand. The smell of the water pulled his attention too though he couldn't do everything at once. Struggle in the sand or go in the water? Standing there for a moment, he took off toward the water as fast as his paws would allow.

Course his speed was slowed due to the sand shifting under him and being so used to the solid ground made it even harder. In fact, he ended up with one paw sinking in farther and thus he tumbled forward. Tumbling straight into the water before landing there with a slight splash. Sitting up, he shook himself off as he coughed. A small bit of water went down his throat due to his tumbling but nothing harmful.

His curled tail wagged behind him as he rose to his paws and started to jump around. Splashing the clear liquid up in the air as he merely had his own fun. Rin was a adult so she couldn't play with him anymore, well not as often as she had at first. She was busy with her rank and the duties with em. His father was most likely with his mother and his uncle, well...hard to say. His Uncle could honestly be anywhere doing anything. Landing once more, his blue gaze landed upon a large form of purple fur; the spike stubs were hard to see from here.

"Hello!" Ercival greeted, his tail still wagging as he now stood there in the shallow water.

The fight against Mikahel's own desires to run through the sand like a young pup, had consumed all of Mikahel's attention. It made no sense to exhaust himself and then have some sort of heat stroke. Wouldn't that be a way to die? Burning to death under the heat of his own fur and the sun. It would be utterly pathetic for the great demi-god and alpha of the Purity Pack, to lose this body just because of that. The idols would laugh at him.

He shook off the morbid thoughts in his mind and his bone spurs rattled together, shifting up and down as the muscles that controlled them relaxed and contracted. The huge spikes that lifted from his back returned to their half-erect position. As he finished the relaxing of his muscles he heard a chipper voice call out a greeting. Immediately his hackles rose and with them the spikes rose to their full height, Mikahel did not like being caught unawares.

His amethyst eyes narrowed in on the creature that had angered and immediately that anger dissipated. Mikahel recognized the form of a youngster, not that he knew this pup, just knew it was a pup. This pup however was not completely grown, and yet wasn't so young that he couldn't make it out on his own. As Mikahel moved closer the pup's scent overwhelmed the fresh and tangy scent of salt and water, it caused Mikahel's lip to curl with disgust.

The revolting smell of dog wafted off him. Mikahel felt his inner desire to rip through dog flesh raise it's ugly head. Yet he couldn't, he was just a youngster. How could he even think of hurting such a babe. The young one was all innocence and cheer. Mikahel could barely remember back to the days when he didn't care about anything but playing and eating, maybe sleeping.

It seemed like he had lost his innocence far too young. Ever since his brother had died by his own paw. Frustrated with himself, Mikahel forced an unsure smile, which he was sure looked more like a grimace, "Hello, young one. What are you doing so far away from your pack lands?"

[Ercival]

The raised hackles caught young Ercival by surprised, though his surprise was replaced by awe to see the spikes. Never before had he seen those course he was young. He couldn't recall anyone in the pack that had those things. Due to Mikahel being a distance somewhat, he couldn't see the curled lip of disgust, so the young one had no knowledge of what the larger being thought.

"My Uncle told me about this place, said it was a lovely place to see the sun set." Ercival replied. "Plus it's not getting in anyone's home, he said this place didn't belong to anyone but the world."

The strange look from the larger being was noted though Ercival paid it no mind as he spoke. His tail still wagged as he sat there in the water, it feeling slightly warm now that he'd been in there for more than a second.

"What are you doing?" Ercival asked curiously, his ears pushed slightly forward as he waited eagerly for a answer.

The young one held no idea on who this was, none at all. If he had perhaps he would've been more timid, who knows. It was just a strange and hard thing to know. He never really expected to meet the alpha of a separate pack.
