Recruits Run-Through

Karatavuk, still awaiting a response from the new pup, glanced at Aeria when she spoke, and smiled. "You'll find that out yourself." He promised, "Mine is control over the currents within the winds. Nothing major." In all honesty, however, Karatavuk would be lost without his control. He bent the currents to help him fly in harsh conditions, or in close calls while falling. If he didn't have the control, he would have died dozens of times over. He looked at the small pup and wondered himself of what her mutations may be.

"Indeed," Karatavuk said, "Of course, there are other things that an Ales can do. Create rain, lighting, twist the winds into tornados, heat and cold control.." Everything he talked about were, indeed, things that an Ales could do. It was all scientific, really. An Ales moving the clouds could effect the electrostatic charge between the clouds, creating lighting. Rain was possible through compressing the water droplets within the clouds, causing them to murdge into drops. Heat and cold based on the movements of air's molecules...

And of all this, he could only move the currents.


"That's another thing that varies with every Ales. I can't even remember when I got mine. I only noticed it when my wing was broken in mid flight during a battle. It was the wind that slowed me. That's when I began to learn how to truely control it." He said, then looked at Aeria before glancing back to the new pup. "Well, then. Back to the main matters at hand. Who are you, young male?"

Karatavuk, upon hearing the pawsteps of a wolf behind him, turned to look at Aquillo. Almost immediatly he bowed his head in respect to the Divine. He smiled at his comment, and said in return, "He will, too." He looked to the pup as she spoke. She seemed to be very excited about the air and about flying. "We'll go up again later, as well." He promised before turneing to the Divine expectantly. "Sir Aquillo?" He asked, his tone hinting that he was curious as to what the Divine was doing. Coming to meet the new pups? He wondered. Subconciouly, his smaller wings spread, made a few flaps, and folded themselves up again to release the knot that had been forming in them.

The sound - and scent - of another wolf coming into the area stirred Karatavuk, causing him to look over at the Fluidus WhiteLighter. He nodded in respect to the hurting water-wolf, giving him a curtious smile. He knew all too well the pain the WhiteLighter must have gone through, though Karatavuk didn't know the story of what happened, nor did he ask. Instead, Karatavuk tried to silently support the year-younger male.

He turned his attention to Aeria, and lowered his head to close the front of his jaw around one particular down feather. It had fallen off already, and he plucked it from Aeria's fur. He froze as he pulled his head up again. Her wing feathers are just like... He dropped the feather and shook his head, clearing his thoughts. Well, now, he thought, what to do about these pups... he looked again to Aquillo to await the Divine's words.

Karatavuk looked over at the fire wolf that had appeared before them as she spoke. "Hello, Blaze." He said. His tone was welcoming. It wasn't often that an Incendo came out of the desert. It made him happy to see Blaze in the clearing. "You've met Aeria. She is an Ales. The other..." He paused, looking around. Where was the other pup? He made a questioning glance at Divine, Aquillo. He looked back at Aeria and Erasmus, smiling a little at the fact the young one had started a conversation with the silent male. "Just like Silvai..." he murmerd under his breath.

Kamea walked into the meadow where the new recruits would appear. Her brow furrowed wondering how the one of the pups had just disappeared without a trace. However immediately she spotted the other young pup. A blue tinge was already making it's way over her coat along with feathers starting to grow off her shoulders. She was sure to be a Ales. Apparently her name was Aeria.

Moving over Karatavuk and Erasmus, she put on a smile. "So this is our new recruit?" Kamea gave her wings a slight ruffle before looking down at the pup again, with a smile. "I see she shall be joining you, Karat. Take care of her then."

Karatavuk smiled at Kamea when she spoke, replying with, "Of course!" before he looked at Aeria, who seemed to have gained the liking of the water wolf. He smiled, obviously happy, until a wall of light hit his eyes. He turned to look at the deminishing source; Blaze. He laughed a bit at the ring, admiring the burned grasses. "That was cool. Would you do it again?" He asked, his head lowered to the ground as if he were looking for a spark. That was the odd thing about Karatavuk; he simply was awed by fire. Despite what happened so long ago, the unknown substance within fire intrigued him.

Karatavuk stared right back at Blaze. He didn't understand the anger she showed. "A small one?" He asked. His own eyes glinted with confusion. "Blaze?" He asked, curious as to her reaction. His wings stretched and flaped once, but not enough to lift him from the ground. He watched Blaze eagerly as he waited to see the substance of fire that wasn't coming from her paws or ears, though small wind spikes spiraled a few little flames into a dance around her paws.

[/ultra lame. x.x]

Kamea's gaze turned upon the Ignis. With a raised eyebrow she watched the female whirl around flames. It was interesting to see Blaze so happy. Apparently she really wasn't into pups. The grey female's eyes looked back to the pup in front of them all. Blaze's sudden flare up of fire had frightened the young pup. There would be a lot for the pup to get used to around the four clans, each with their unique traits.

The Charmed one could have laughed at Blaze's reaction to Karatavuk's comment. So she restrained herself to a small smile and a slight wag of her tail. He's impressed Blaze, there's no need to be like that. she sent the thought to Blaze.

"Don't worry Karat, maybe you'll get to see some more from her another time," she said. The female knew she herself could do some work with fire herself but wasn't willing to show off her stuff unless it was needed. Kamea lifted her head to look a the sky, there was something on the wind, a feeling... It stirred up a strange feeling in her gut, one she was not fond of...

The White Lighter flinched as the thoughts were projected into her head. No matter what, she would not ever get used to the feeling of another speaking into her head. Shaking it out, Blaze looked at Karatavuk. "It would be dangerous to play with what you do not understand," she grumbled. He may be fascinated with the flames, but sometimes, that fascination was often a dangerous thing. To have fire bend to your will was a task that took careful procedures.

Her red gaze flicked to Kamea. Oh really? she thought, not knowing if that would work. The Incendo Clan leader wondered what having others to care for felt like. The last leader had died a long while ago, and since then, she had been alone. These other clans were growing, and hers dwindled at the single denominator of herself. No, she did not envy them for getting pups. How I detest those things she sneered to herself. If there was one to come across her, she wondered what would happen. Would they clash?

With a sigh, Blaze sat. Something did not feel quite right, and by the looks of it, she was not the only one to pick up on the odd feeling.

"I may not quite understand it, but I know not everything is dangerous, yet everything is at the same time. Fire's dangerous, sure, but....rarely. It's mostly just beautiful.." He stated. Though fire was considered dangerous, Karatavuk didn't see it that way. For him, fire was only dangerous if one made it to be. Say a human was camping. Their fire was harmless unless a human didn't know how to control it, and it spread...but even then, if nothing could be hurt, then it wasn't a danger. Fire in the wildernesses is sometimes needed to create new life, while in other cases it is needed for other select reasons. It's not a danger...it's nature's tool...

Karatavuk looked at his blackened paws as a rather unpleasent memory invaded the depths of his mind. He shook it out with a shudder from his body. I haven't had that memory come back to mind for years... he thought. Shaking it off, he looked at the fire wolf's paws. The small wind gusts spiraled the fire like vines around her legs. He watched in awe at the fire's tongues of light before a sensation overcame him, causing his wing feathers to fluff.

What...what is this? He growled in thought, trying to shake the discomfort.
