Thread: Alpha and Omega (SilverDreamer x JacksAreWild)

Sasha was a little curious to what sort of lack of control went on at the festivals and what lack of control, if any, her new friend had gotten herself into. Azura seemed so put together that she couldnt imagine the Alpha cutting loose and letting herself grow truly wild as it was rumored that other wolves did. But she was unable to contemplate such things for long, because now she was busy holding onto a rampaging mare for dear life. While Destry was definitely powerful, she was not made for charging off for the long haul. The horse put up a valiant effort, running free for as fast as she could before finally slowing down to a steady trot once she grew tired, at which point she was overtaken by Three Socks and Azura. Once the other horse became too tired to continue at its brisk pace as well and was quite a ways ahead, Sasha called out, Okay! Okay, you win. We concede. The young wolf smiled, not minding the loss, and pat Destry lightly on the neck, whispering soothing words to the mare that had done a very good job. Eventually the pair caught back up to Azura and Three Socks and the group resumed their journey together. For hours they traveled, amicably talking for most of the journey, even going through long silences for a lot of it. The silences Sasha didnt much mind, they occurred often during marchesand they were actually kind of nice. The quiet moments were not awkward, allowing both girls time to let their minds wander in the realm of their own thoughts before speaking once more. She liked not feeling the urge to speak, and reveled in the fact that Azura was very nice company to be around. Though a substantial meal was probably the main thought on both their minds after several hours of riding, Sasha kept them pressing onward, only allowing their little party short breaks, time outs that were long enough for the horses to catch their breath or her and Azura to tap into their rations for a bit of a snack. Even though she was growing tired as the day stretched on, Sasha knew that it would be best for them to find the cave and then use that for their first camp. Then they could at least relax and rest after engorging themselves on whatever they could trap. They had ridden through the night and morning. It was late afternoon by the time they arrived to the place where the river forked off. Following the small branch led them about a half hour out of their way before finally it widened and turned into a swiftly flowing current. Further still and it led to the bottom of a small waterfall that had rapids that were so weak and so shallow that Sasha was fairly certain they would be able to swim without fear of drowning or getting cut on sharp stones. Sure enough, near the waterfall was a cave that had been cut into the stone when the river had been much larger hundreds of years ago. Phewwe finally made it! Good thing too, Im starving. Destry gave an offended snort, as though Sasha had no right to be so hungry when she had been the one doing all the work and carrying all the gear. Yes yes, I know youre hungry too. The young wolf chuckled and patted her horse lightly on the side before springing off saddle. Soooshall we unload the horses so that they may rest and graze, then set up our own camp? And then a thought occurred to her, one she probably should have thought to ask at the beginning of their journey. Ahhave you ever been camping before? Do you know how to do things like set up a fire or build a shelter?
