Hollowed {Ari}

[Akira]

Akira broke through the wind running freely. Her paws were caked in dust. It was early in the morning and now she was free to venture as far as she wanted too instead of sleeping. Akira was always an early bird. The sky was dark with twinkling stars - no sunlight on this planet. It was bitter and cold. The air was moist. Her stomach growled. "I guess it's time for breakfast." she muttered with a chuckle.

Akira had no idea what she could catch this early. Most of time she could withstand her hunger until more animals were awake. A red bird pecked at the ground. She smiled at it. "The bird eats the worm and the wolf eats the bird. Looks like a miniature food chain to me." Akira leaped into the air. Any skilled hunter should know that birds are faster than you and immediately take to the air for safety. If you're already in the air, it's harder for the bird to get away. She snapped down on the red bird and sank in her fangs then fell back down and landed with a thud. The bird cried piteously as the wolf easily split and crippled it's bones with the force of her jaws. It died. Akira devoured her kill. It was a ruthless hunt.

It'd be almost 9:00 in the morning if the time was calculated on earth. She decided to go back to the dens. "Hello, anyone in here?" It was abandoned except for a white and silver wolf who didn't seem to notice Akira. She called again; "Hello, my name is Akira. What's yours?" Ari was a bit frightened. Number one, she had startled her. Number two, Akira looked strange. Arielle replied:

[♥--Ari]

Earlier before the encounter, Arielle had sent herself out into the forest to think for a while. Her studies we're a bit confusing, being new to Lightpack. She was flattered to become an Istari--a trainee to work with magic, but she didn't know how her work would be. Traveling with her past family was all she really knew how to do--which was basically letting her survive.
When she had been shuffling her paws on the ground, her thoughts had trailed back to the past. I wonder how they're holding on without me. she thought. We're a strong family. They're probably great. Ari smiled at the thought of her cheerful family. The moment didn't last long, though.
"Hello, anyone in here?"
Ari's ears shot strait up. Her pupils adjusted back into reality.
"Hello, my name is Akira. What's yours?"
The white-gray she-wolf leapt to her paws, urgently spinning around to face Akira.
"I-I.." Ari nervously stuttered. Her fur still rose with surprise.
Akira seemed to be waiting for an answer.
Arielle loosened her stiff pose, and stood strait up with her ears slightly tilted backwards.
"M-my name is Ari," she nodded nervously. She didn't know many wolves in the forest yet.

[Akira]

Akira chuckled."You don't seem quite the suddenly social type. Sorry if I scared you. She grinned a slightly malicious smile, with bared teeth. The Yin Yang symbol on her back was quite mysterious. She snaked up the rocks, climbing with her talon-like claws to meet up with Ari, circling around behind her back and sitting on her left.. Akira grinned. Her eyes never left Ari. She watched her like a hawk.

Her gaze finally left Arielle, and turned towards the valley beyond. She seemed less interested in the view than the white and gray wolf sitting next to her, but she did know that staring was a bit excessive. "So, Ari.....How long have you been in Light pack? I haven't seen you around here before. I suggest you're a newbie?
