Thread: Alpha and Omega (SilverDreamer x JacksAreWild)

Sasha nodded an affirmative she really did love to listen to stories, her ears were always open. And because her father didnt approve of her adventuring past the city walls on her own, or with a capable male chaperone, Sasha had to often settle for fictional tales rather than her own real adventures. Her mood stayed bright at the promise of some stories, and only got better when Azura had said that they could perhaps spar sometime. It was rare that Sasha got to show off her skills, and being able to actually teach Azura, who admitted to be a bit of a novice, would give her confidence a much needed boost. And it would let her prove that she had been a good choice to serve as the Alphas guard. That sounds like fun. It would be good to get some practice in so that my skills dont get rusty. And here came the part of the trip that Sasha had been hoping to avoid. Usually people didnt ask her why she didnt come to the festivals, they just wrote it off to Sasha being a clutz and not wanting to cause a mass catastrophe by attempting to dance with the rest of the group. While it was true that she was not particularly graceful when just walking on her own, when her movements were set to music, or she had a sword in her hand, Sashas body had a grace and fluidity that was easily enviable. But now, posed with the question about why she did not attend, she had to think up an excuse because she was in the spotlight. II cannot control my wolf as much as I would like to It is better if I stay in seclusion when the full moon comes out. Sasha was picking her words carefully, shed always been taught to not lie, that lying was for snakes and cheaters. But her true form was a special exceptionit was too hard for her to admit that she was a freak of nature. Besides, she was partially telling the truth to Azura. Even though she could shift right now, without the aid of the moon, she did not have control over the fact that her wolfs form came with some extra bits and pieces that she did not want. I can dance just fine in this form though she added quickly, and then seemed to be eager to drop the subject all together and talk about where they would go swimming and set up camp instead. Hmma cave or an alcove huh? I remember Zev saying something about a small cave he had found on his last assignment. Sasha wracked her brain, trying to remember her friends exact words so that she didnt get them lost. Wherewhere the river forks, you follow the small branch and itll take you past some rapids and to a waterfall with cave She paused for a moment, an idea popping into her head, one that would hopefully distract Azura from their previous topic once and for all. Since its going to be out of the way, how about a race? A little friendly competition to see if your fresian is as good as my percheron. At the word race, Destrys ears perked and her tail flicked flicked in excitement. The giant mare did love a race, and even though she was laden with Sashas gear, it wouldnt deter her from running free. So while Sasha was patiently waiting for a response, Destry decided to take matters into her own very capable hooves and get them going. The dapple grey mare began to sprint off, leaving Three Socks and Azura in the dust kicked up by her humongous hooves. Of course Sasha hadnt really been paying attention or holding onto the reigns all that hard and they easily slipped from her grasp, falling off to the side of the mares big neck and out of her reach. Destry! No! I did not say go! Sasha shrieked as her hands gasped tightly onto the mares mane to keep from getting thrown off. Gaaahhhh!! Im going to eat you if the winter becomes too harsh! Sasha shouted her idle threats. But when she turned around to check if Azura and Three Socks were following after them, she was smiling and happy despite her horses brazenness. Sasha was absolutely loving the freedom that Destry could provide her.
