Sphinx

[Ice]

Ice lay on the outskirts of the field, the wheat rising high and covering her body. Anyone looking down from above would see only a dark patch in the golden field, whilst anyone around the area would have no inclination to her being there. With her paws crossed infront of her and her back legs tucked underneath, Ice lay her midnight head on her front legs and let her ice blue eyes follow an ant as it scurred across the ground.

[Feuer]

Feuer had been watching the field, occasionally sniffing the air and finally decided there was no danger here. The slight breeze was blowing across the field toward him. He walked out from the trees and took a number of steps into the tall grass. He had been looking for a place he could rest and be alone. He stopped, catching a faint scent of another wolf. There seems to be no anger in the scent and it's coming from a distance, probably on the far side of the field. Feuer lay down where he was, relaxing but ears up and alert. He felt the warm sun on his back.

[Ice]

Sighing, Ice slowly got to her feet, shaking out the kinks in her body where she had been lying still for too long. Flicking black fur from her eyes, Ice's sharp, piercing eyes travelled across the field as the smell of another Faltor caught her attention. Thinking nothing of it, the Thunder Leader was suddenly struck by the remembrance that she should be gathering information rather than resting. Stretching out her libs once more, Ice ran a paw over her head and began to make her way across the field.

[Feuer]

Feuer suddenly raised his head and sniffed. It's another Faltor moving through the grasses and is certainly aware of my presence. I'll stand and make myself known so there are no surprises as to my exact location and identity.

Feuer stood tall and looked in the direction of the scent. He spoke loudly saying, "I'm here." Not knowing just who it would be. There was still no anger in the scent and Feuer was relieved.

[Ice]

Ice's deeply calculating head turned in the direction of speech. It was a male, that was for sure. Careful not to show any emotion, Ice continued to walk, aiming her direction a little more towards the other Faltor. "And just who, may I ask, is here?" She asked with a slight raise of her eyebrow, her voice just as cool and unconcerned as always.

[Feuer]

Feuer heard before he saw her approach. He smiled slightly at the assertive request for information. There's no doubt that this is a Clan Leader. He responded, "I am Feuer of the Clan, Fire. Greetings Clan Leader. Who might you be?"

[Ice]

Ice stopped when she could see the Faltor, and sat back on her haunches as he announced himself. "I am Ice of the Thunder Clan." She replied, cocking her head slightly as surveyed him.

[Feuer]

Feuer also lowered himself to a seated position, keeping himself erect and his ears up and listening. "It is good to meet you Ice. I anxiously anticipate more Faltors joining us so we can be about our business. Have you been meeting with the other leaders to begin plans for us?"

[Ice]

I have, but as of yet I am unable to give you any more information then you no doubtably already have." She informed him. "However I will tell you this....it is soon to get very interesting around her." Her lips curled into hat could be descibed as a smirk.

[Feuer]

Feuer nodded and said quietly, "Have the leaders talked at all about Shadow?"

[Ice]

"They might have done." Ice replied vaguely. "Why do you mention such things?" She asked curiously, ever ready to learn something new.

[Feuer]

Feuer shifted a bit and faced Ice more directly. He spoke quietly. "I have made friends in many places and with creatures of many species. I communicate with them often through many means and I learn what is going on. The voices and whispers tell me of a Shadow Clan that has powerful members and they seek to stop the destruction of this planet's eco-system through whatever means necessary. Some of them are still Faltors and all of them have been Faltors at one time and continue to look like Faltors. I sometimes wonder if this is the reason Faltors are so slow to join us."

[Whitewave]

Whitewave, who is listening intently from afar, begins to think very intently on what Feuer has just said. He is very intelligent to notice things like this. He would probably do good to help us in our mission, should Durango or Wolf of Silence be willing to tell him about it. She continued on her way through the fields, where she was on her daily hunt for food.

[Ice]

Ice nodded. "I too travel enough to hear the same things. The leaders have indeed brought it too the attention of us all, and yet it seems none of the others have gathered information the way in which we have. That is, almost directly from the source." Ice sniffed the air and decided not to comment on the other Faltor in the vicinity, she would just control what she said. "Do not worry about the other Faltors, they will come. So far there are few, but it is said that this is just the beggining."

[Feuer]

Feuer's head came up as he glanced at Ice. His ears were erect and he sniffed the air. He sent a thought to Ice. I am careless with my talk. I thought my quiet tone would be enough but someone has passed through here and I detect an interested scent; perhaps interested enough to be an evesdropper. He remained seated but far more alert.
