Rocky Shore

Beginning of his journey:
SpoilerRocky Shore never knew his mother. All he knew was that she was a traveller. days turned to months into a year where he hadn't seen his mother, and one day a traveller came into the pack, causing the whole pack to whisper among themselves. The traveller, known as Rufous, settled in and soon approached him, informing him that she was his mother, the one that had left after he was weaned to explore.

Rocky Shore was confused. How could exploring be more important than him? Then again, Rocky Shore wasn't very useful. He was always just... there, and nothing more. He spoke to Rufous the whole time she was there, but the pups she was pregnant with were all born too early and died, causing Rufous to run away from the pack where the memory haunted her.

Rocky Shore only had a few days with his mother and she still chose travelling over him! What was so good about travelling? He wanted to try it out.

Approaching Shadow, he informed her of his choice. He hadn't felt a calling or a need, it was just curiosity that led him to his decision, but he still had one valid reason. He never fit in with the pack. Maybe exploring and seeing other packs will make him more content with staying in one place? He was no herbalist and it probably didn't work like that but he was clueless and willing to try.

Shadow allowed him to explore and he left the pack that day, trekking through the forest to the edge of his territory. Then he left the area he'd known his whole life. Was being a traveller the right choice for him? Would this even be worth it? Oh well, it was too late now...

SpoilerLost in thought and wandering through the forest, Rocky didn't realise that there were two stranger wolves running past him in some distance. They were running straight towards his own pack.
What he sensed, though, was a strange smell. It felt familiar but still... unknown. It was the sweet smell of another wolf, but different to the ones he knew and still, he had already smelled it before.
Without even realizing, he followed the scent from where it came - the Taiga.
After a while, he spotted a clearing with wolves buzzing around. He watched them for a while until a voice ripped him out of his thoughts. Rocky Shore quickly turned his head, his fur prickling, and looked into the eyes of Delilah. She looked friendly, but her eyes - she had 3 of them - freaked him out.
The - as he found out later - leader of the pack he was watching asked him about his intentions and he shakingly explained that he was just a traveller and looking for his first pack to visit.
With a grin, the leader told him to work on his behaviour because staring at a den site may not trigger friendliness.
WIth a shy smile, Rocky Shore nodded and followed the pretty shewolf to her pack. There he was greeted by many of the members. They had some nice talks and the traveller got along well with Blu, a young hunter.

Later that day, one of the pack members mentioned the name of the pack "Noname Pack" for the first time. Rocky Shore's ears - and himself - jumped up. He came closer to the wolf who said it and asked "Do... do you know a wolf called Rufous? She is firey red."
The one he was talking to was barely an adolescent so no, they didn't know her. But another pretty wolf named Lilah stepped towards them and nodded. She was her half sister.

The young wolf told her about his relationship to Rufous - her being his mother and him desperate to find out more about her. Lilah looked at him with understanding eyes and told him to follow her. They sat in a cave just by themselves - with her pups tumbling around and talked for a long while. She told him a lot about his mother and also that she had just been here not long ago, before she chased another traveller out and into the forest. Seing his saddened eyes, the elderly female told him that it should soon be time for Rufous to end her travelling career: she should return home soon. When he would either wait here or return in a few months, she should be back with the rest of her family again. That information made the poor traveller look up and get his hopes up.
As his mother hadn't yet returned home after a while, he decided to move on and come back in a few months

Decors added(Optional): Blue Jay Feathers
Lore(Optional):SpoilerAs Rocky Shore trotted through the Tundra, enjoying the cool breeze that blows his fur, he encountered a dangerous predator. A very VERY hungry Polar Bear. Normally a wolf wouldn't have to fear a Polar Bear if they had the numbers, but Rocky Shore was alone. He fought his hardest to defend himself but the Tundra had barely anywhere to hide from a huge Bear. A Snowy Owl flew down from the sky, it's talons outstretched. It scratched the Polar Bear's muzzle, causing it to flinch in pain. It soared by Rocky Shore's face, signaling him to follow. He followed the Snowy Owl, thankful that he had not been a Polar Bear's lunch. The Polar Bear recovered from it's pain and chased them again, but this time it was the wolf's turn to take the high ground. Rocky Shore turned to fight the Polar Bear again, and behind him arrived a hunting party of wolves. They snarled and barked, scaring off the unwanted intruder. Rocky Shore was saved! He joined them and stayed in their pack for a few days, and was given a traditional gift of Feathers by the pack upon his arrival. The gift had a meaning of "Where ever you go, you can always carry the memories of your days here". Rocky Shore happily stays and played with the pups of the pack.

Rocky Shore leaves the Eclipse pack peacefully, "thank you for this fun adventure"

SpoilerWhen Rocky Shore finally arrived at the Night Keeper Pack, Grey, his father, immediately greeted him after laying eyes on him. "Rocky Shore! How have your adventures been?" Rocky Shore smiled. "Wonderful. What's changed here?"

Grey paused before lowering his voice to a whisper "You have a sibling. Gold. She just turned into an adult. She has the same problem that you had. Take her to Noname pack for your next adventure. Take her to meet Rufous. She'llbe there... She's retired from travelling..."

Rocky Shore's eyes widened. Not only did he get the news of having a sister, but now Rufous would DEFINITELY be at Noname pack. And he would be bringing Gold.

"Where is she? Gold, I mean."
Grey nodded in the direction of a yellow wolf that stared right back at him. Bounding over, Rocky Shore introduced himself... badly.

"Hi. I'm Rocky Shore." Thankfully Grey continued for him. "Rocky Shore is your brother. He was heading to Noname Pack next, so he wants to take you with him to see Rufous, your mother."

Emotions played out on Gold's face, most notably surprise. "Let me think about it." She mumbled before bounding out of the clearing. Obviously this was big news, so Rocky Shore understood.

Grey nudged Rocky Shore towards Shadow, saying Gold would most likely agree, thus meaning they'd have to ask the Alpha. So they talked until Gold came up to them, interrupting their conversation.

"I'll go. But I want to be a traveller. There is nothing here for me."

Gold look at Grey, telling him that she didn't mean anything bad when she said that, as Grey was her father. Then looking at Rocky Shore, she nodded, and he knew that they would be going today.

After brief goodbyes, Gold and Rocky Shore padded side by side towards the Taiga, following a path that seemed to already be carved out for them, as if many wolves had already gone this way.

And Rocky Shore knew many had.

SpoilerWell, Gold really was something. She was so energetic and blabbered the whole time they walked. Still, Rocky Shore had this warm feeling all this time... he had a sister. And she wanted to follow his steps and also becoma a traveller? Wow.

They walked for a while, when they found the clearing where the Noname Pack lived. Rocky Shore told Gold to let him walk in first, he might be recognized. And yes, he really was! Blu ran over to the entrance, greeting Rocky Shore happily and telling him about the progress he had made as a hunter. He also wanted to know, how the travels had been. A little overwhelmed with the greeting, Rocky Shore stepped to the side to reveal his sister. His friend turned quiet and greeted her. Right after that, he called for Delilah - the leader.

When she arrived, Rocky Shore explained their situation. The two then were quickly escorted to the Adventurers cave, where scouts, herbalists and travellers stayed. In there, there was Rufous with a few pups. He stepped closer silently showing his presence towards the loving mother. She happily greeted him and she even recognized his sister.
They were invited to sit next to her and talk. They really did talk for a while, but Rocky Shore felt a little off. He really loved these two, but they weren't on the same wavelength. After some time, he excused himself and started looking for Blu. The traveller thought, hanging out with his friend would be a little better for him.

Rocky Shore enjoyed his time in this pack again. He spent a lot of time with Rufous and Gold, but these two had spent waaaay more time with each other. He was hanging out more with his buddy and some other wolves his age. Sometimes, he was even allowed to join in on a hunt, even though he was just pupsitting usually.

After some time had passed, he decided to leave. He said his goodbyes to the Noname Pack, being grateful to have it as a promising spot to travel to. His goodbye to his two female relatives was very sentimental. He had the feeling, he would not see both of them at the same time ever again. With that thought, he left.

Role given: Hunter & Mentor

SpoilerAs Rocky Shore padded through the dense forest, it wasn't long until another wolf found him. To his surprise, the wolf seemed quite small and timid for a scout. She gave a small dip of her head before speaking in a quiet tone. "You must be another traveler, follow me." And with a flick of her tail she led him towards her pack.

She led him through what seemed to be a small tunnel leading beneath bushes, the tunnel opened up into a clearing with many dens, bushes, and moss. She gestured with her nose to an older wolf, with a similar pelt as her. "That's Shinzu, he's our Alpha." She said before turning and stalking off to a gray wolf.

The clearing was bustling with pups brawling, wolves arguing, and hunting parties rushing about. The only calm person out of the whole scene was Shinzu. He slowly rose to his paws, his frame thin. Rocky thought to himself 'Why is such a weak wolf leading a strong pack?' but of course, that'd be rude to ask.

Shinzu gave him a warm smile as he slipped down from the rock and he dipped his head. "Greetings traveler, welcome to our pack. I'm sure you've seen it's quite... Chaotic. I suppose that's what happens when you have so many different wolves together." He chuckled.

Rocky Shore couldn't help but smile at this Alpha's attitude as he gave a respectful nod. "I appreciate the hospitality. If it isn't too rude to ask, how is your pack so... Well what I mean is, how are you..." He trailed off, how could he ask his question without sounding rude?

Shinzu smiled. "How is an old man like myself leading a pack like this?" He raised a brow at Rocky Shore's shocked expression. "Well, I wasn't always so old. Most of these wolves I've watched grow up, they respect me and care for me as I do them. Most packs have some hierarchy, and I suppose in some ways we do as well but we don't enforce it. We're just one family, even if we don't all get along." He said as he sat beside Rocky Shore.

As Rocky Shore looked around, he saw what Shinzu meant. Yes, some of these wolves didn't get along, but regardless they cared for each other.

Throughout his stay, Rocky Shore mentored many pups and grew close with the pack. His departure was a hard one, but his adventures weren't over yet. Shinzu approached him and placed a necklace of owl talons on him and he smiled. "Just so you won't forget us." He rasped, it was clear the leader was getting weaker. Nevertheless he kept a smile and gave Rocky Shore a respectful nod before he left the clearing.
