Snow (3:12 AM) :
As was his usual ritual he went up to the Sky rock, carrying the items he would need to commune
with the spirits. He built up a fire and burned the scared roots to keep evil away. He was here
to see what the future would hold for his tribe. They had been through a lot in the past year,
drought, and fights. His people needed a sign from the gods , and if one didn’t come he would
return to continue to devine what he could.
The Holy man didn’t havelong to wait, the first night passed without event and so did the day
that was to follow. He beat drums and burned sage and other things to inspire the spirites to
talk with him. As the western horizon bruning with bright huesof red, orange, and yellows as
the eastern sky faded into it with it’s blues of twilight and darkness. It was if it happened
in a dream. A woman, or more likely a small girl approached the fire and the holy man from the
darkness of the east. She wore a beautiful white deer skin dress embroidered with beads of all
colors. As she moved it was if the beads swirled and moved with her movements. Stars, suns
moons, spirals. As if they were trying to tell a tale. With her at her sides were two beautiful
grey wolves who’s eyes shone first in the firelight before they were each seen, one black as
the darkest moonless night. The other silver/grey like the clouds before a good storm. They
walked by this woman-childs side. Standing behind her were two, obviously great warriors, in
Crinos, their power and strength evident.
The holy man wanted to cower in fright, were they there to harm him? He didn’t move but watched
their actions. The woman-child stopped a few feet from the fire, as if the others were following
her lead the two wolves sat by her side, and the men in crinos stood behind her their arms
crossed as if to sya that if something was done to her there would be hell to pay.
The woman-child, waves a hand at the fire with a soft smile on hjer face. She did not say a
word.
Snow (3:27 AM) :
The holy man looked into the fire, and watched how the flames lept and danced, then the flames
slowed to be barely moving. A wolf moved in the flames and jumped, and as it did this it split
into two. But not two wolves but one wolf and one human. The holy man smile this ment that a
kin and a garou would be born into the tribe, they were so fortunate! As he thought this is was
as if the stars from above rained down around the one he thought was Kin. He looked up to the
woman-child, her eyes held a sorrow but still she spoke no words. The holy man turned his gaze
to the fire once more to watch the sparkling human and the wolf. they run towards him, but as
they do, the flames in the fire start flickering faster and faster, moving the two children apart
,untilthey fade at the edges of the flames.
Snow (3:48 AM) :
The holy man blinked his eyes still staring at the fire as the immages faded. What did this mean?
He looked up to ask the woman-shild and she was gone as were the wolves and her crinos warriers.
were gone. A lone wolf howled into the night an eery feeling crept up the man’s spine.
The holy man looked over to the eastern sky and saw the dawn approaching the sky lightening a
violet color at the fringes of the horizon. He sat and thought on what he saw. He needed to
make sure all of this was documented, and thought over.
He wasted no time as the sky continues to lighten into the new day, he made his was back to the
tribes home and didn’t stop to speak with a soul except the leader of the tribe to tell him he
was back. He made his was to his dweling and pulled out the things he would need to record this
event. He spent him time for the next two days detailing what he saw in the vision and meditated
on what was to come. What this a bad sign or a good one? He had heard tales in passing of
those that sparkled, they were not welcome in their family. The holy man decided to wait and
see. The future could be a time away from now, and he hoped that this was the case.
The holy man did not have long to wait. The tribe had been blessed durring the year with the
rains and food and victories. The holy man watched those that were to have children closely
durring the months making sure that no rwins were born. Ther were rare to this geroup as it
was but he was not taking any chances.
His vision came to light one night near the dawing of the new day. Their great warrier stood
outside his den waiting to hear the news of what was happening to his mate. Little did he know
that both of his mates were in the throws of labor. The holy man arrived, when he saw who it
was that was going to be blessed, a lone wolf’s cry echoed in the night, and he got the erry
feeling he had not felt in several moons creep up his spine. Soon enough as the dawn over head
continues it’s accent towards their home, two women cameout of the dweling, each carrying a
child in their arms. their heads bowed to the great warrier they showed off his fortune. Two
children born of different mothers, but the same father, born at the same moment in time.
The holy man paled behind his sun weathered and tanned face. His vision became clearer, it was
not from one mother but from one father! He looked to the great warrier who seemed to swell
with pride at having been blessed not once but twice in the same night. Although the warrier ‘s
stance, feet apart arms crossed did not change it was just the feeling comming from the man.
He nodded his head to the women who moved with the children back inside. This night they would
be celebrated, a honor to the father. The children once the moon had come back to this point
again would be given their names and a celebration would be held for them. The holy man did not
need to find out what the sex of the children were he know they were both girls.
The holy man took his quest to the sky rock once more this time to ask the questions he could no
longer hold within himself. Although this time it took two whole days and two long nights
before anything happened. The woman-child appeared as if through the mists that surrounded the
fire, This time she was accompanied by only one other. the silver/grey wolf. He waited until
she stopped a few feet from the fire, and the wolf sat by her side. He pulled out the drawings
he had made. “What does this all mean? The children were born, but what does this mean?” As the
firelight flickered upon her features he got a good look at her eyes they were as the morning sky
a violet/blue and the sorrow was still there. Her companion looked as sorrowful as the
woman-child did. The grey wolf’s eyes held the color of blue fading into brown. These two had
to be spirits no other had eyes those colors. The holy man repeated his question. “What does
this all mean?” In responce the woman-child waved her hand once again at the fire and the holy
man’s eyes were drawn to it.
The fire slowed once again from flickering fast to barely moving. Within the fire a tribe rose
up. They fought off the darkness trying to consume them, till just the darkness remained.
They holy man looked back up into the sorrowful eyes of the woman-shild and asked. “Is that is
what is to come if the children remain or if they are split apart?” he was worried for the lives
of his tribe members. The woman-child continued to remain silent with the sadness in her eyes.
Her and her companion started to fade, as the morning light of the rising sun shined upon the
sky rock.
The holy man as he did before moved back off to the tribe home and into his dwelling to once
again make sure this vision was recorded. The fact that this was a vision from the same
woman-child, and it was in responce to his questions he made sure it was kept with the others
about the children.
The namming celebration and the first time the girls were to be shown off to the tribe as a
whole approached quickly in the holy mans eves, who was still focused on how and when he should
bring forth the information of his visions. It was he who would undoubtedly sway the minds of
the rest of the tribe. This would not only affect the lives of the children but that of their
great warrier and his mates and standing within the tribe. One wrongly said word or action
could mean the approaching darkness would swallow them whole.
He had made his decision. When the tribe had gathered for the feast, the holy man stood and
raised his hands to the sky. “Gaia has truly blessed us. We have been fruitful in all our
endevors. Our great warrior has now brought another blessing from Gaia into our fold.” the
holy man leands down to pullout one of the drawings that he has. “I had a vision many moon’s
ago that fortold of two children from one. As our tribe has never had two bron from one mother
I thought that this was going to be. I did not expectit to be two children from one father to
be born of the same day. Gaia has indeed blessed us.” he unrolls the deerskin drawing showing
a wolf leaping and in turn two are formed one of a wolf and one of a human.”This is the blessing
that Gaia has offered us.” the tribe hushed up to then starts to mummor. They fall silent once
again as the holy man speaks. “Let them be named and let them be guided by us, as gaia has
blessed us with them.” with that they holy man sits back down and re-rolls the drawing to
protect it.
Snow (11:07 PM) :
The children are brought into the tribe carried by their mothers. The great warrier stood and
moved to the tribal leaders side. The women moved forward their heads bowed and submissive,
both of the children were quiet and very content. When they were five feet fromt heir tribal
leader and warrior leader, they both sunk to their knees. They held out the children to their
mate. The great warrier took the children one in each arm and looked down to each in turn.
then looks to the tribe. “My daughters. “Besides the mothers and those that helped them birth
the children and the father knew the gender of the children. “Silver Dawn and Dawns light.”
When he says each name each baby in turn coos to their father. After the announcement the
Tribal leaderput his hand on the great warriors shoulder. “Gaia be blessed.” and a resounding
cheer and the trib sings out “Gaia be blessed.” The celebration lasts late into the night.
the babies having been returned to the great warriors dwelling after the feast.
The two girls were pampers by the tribe, they might have not been born twins but their lives
were intertwinedon many levels that none could ever imagine.
Dawn’s light
She wasd a beautiful baby, her midnight black hair and blue eyes, eyes so blue that sometimes
people thought that they were the color of the morning dawn or the blue of a clear morning sky.
By the age of one she was walking and taking, although not full scentances her baby talk still
lingering with her, but she was an intuative child. Her and her sister played together they
learned together. She was as curious as the fox, but as motivated as the beaver. She grew
up learning the ways of medicine and herbs and healing. She loves nature in allof it’s beauty
and has a specialbond with the animals that dweled around them.
The Holy man taught the two girls the traditionsof the tribe. He taught themin ways of the
healing herbs. Dawn’s light followed the holy man around when her sister was off herself.
Her curiosity, kept her chattering about anything and everything.
This worried the holy man for he did not know if what he was teaching the young girl would
be the thing that beings the darkness. He had not seenor spoken to the woman-shild, or
had a vision of her since that last time. He still kept his opinions to himself, for the
pride of the tribe. He just hoped that this also would not be what brings the darkness.
Dawn’s light, brought happoness and laughter to the tribe, she was a caring child, but one with
an old soul. Even through her brightness it was if the weight of the world rested upon her
shoulders and even in her young mind she knew this to be true. She never did let it one, but
the holy man could see this in her.
The years passedin quick order. Dawn’s Light. Grew to be a beautiful child the beauty of her
eyes stayed and Her hair was as shinly as the feathers of a raven, and just as black, hanging
down past her rear end. Although She was not a tall girl she was lyth and beautiful.
The dawning of their 13th year, both girls slipped out to the river as was their habbit to do
to go and swim and bathe in the clear waters. Dawn’s light swam and was at peace with the day
as it broke above the trees that surrounded the river. Naked and shivering slightly she lays
down in the grass beside the river dangling her feet in the river. Her hair like a blanket
beneather her as she lays there letting the sun warm her skin.
It happened so suddenly, the awareness of something happeneing around her that stole her breath
away from her. Frightened to move, but even more of what might happen if she stayed where she
was motivated Dawn’s light into action. As quick as a deer she jumps up and runs to the shelter
of the trees, shouting a warning to her sister.
Hiding amongst the bushes and trees she looks around to see what the danger was. There was
only one of them. They looked human but were totally wolf-like. Her eyes widden and she
gasps. And as if something born of eon’s thing flood into her mind, as if not seeing what
is really happeneing but at the same time she does.

*snugs happily* it’s good! *G*
mmrr. ok. so, i need to post about the former Eddie being a child. *chuckles* aaaand…..then about her reaction to the manwolk. hrm…bsd?
Snow (11:17 PM) :
what is bsd?
Harper (11:17 PM) :
black sprial dancer.
or…it could be her sister. *G*
Snow (11:18 PM) :
It could be her sister, or is could have been a BSD that is why I sorta left it open….I do not know what causes the first change.
Harper (11:21 PM) :
*G* often, the same sort of thing that could cause an Awakening. *ponders carefully* hrm….what if it’s a fomori instead of a bsd? a corrupted wolf-thing instead of a wolfnman? and it’s…hrm…killing one of their mothers? one of them could be mute. so, no screaming. but the horror of it, since as close as the girls are, chances are good their mothers were/are very close. perhaps even sisters themselves. in some tribes, i THINK, it wasn’t too uncommon for sisters to marry the same man.
Snow (11:23 PM) :
I didn’t even think of it that way *S* that works as well…..and yeah there are two way for an awakening….a sudden one or a gradual……I think the tansy one was on the verge of the gradual….then this happened. *L*
