A Wandering Soul....Finder~Mustangs~

[mazzira]

Yelena

Let the past stay in the past

The whispered pleas of trapped souls filled my swivelling ears as I walked through a forgotten wasteland. Grey, almost colourless, fog drifted in the air around me, hiding this place from all the world. The whole place seemed to be bleached of life and colour. Even the grass beneath my feet was a shade of dreary, unemotionless grey. So dreary and depressing, but all that I could really expect for a place where lost souls gathered.

'Save us....' one whispered in my ear as it floated past. I looked at the shadow as it floated past and pit welled in my heart. Poor thing, trapped here forever, unable to find freedom in the sky. That pity made me reached out wth my mind and touch the trapped soul's bindings. With soft, gentle encouragement I untied the tangled strings tying it to this shadowy world.

When the strings finally fell free of the soul it rose into the air, pure joy radiating from it. My soul flew into the sky with it and rejoiced in the freedom that was almost tasteable before I came back to myself in the dark, dreary place that my body was. The joy of freedom that had filled my soul died until only an ember remained. An ember that glowed dully within my soul, lighting my way.

"Ah Yelena. Wandering on your own again?" a mocking voice that I knew only too well spoke from the shadows around me. Then, forming from the greyness, Reyad, my torturer, my first murdered, appeared next to me, his sandy coat perfectly groomed and his light blue eyes mocking. I bared my teeth at him and snapped out at his shoulder, but my muzzle went right through him as I knew it was.

"Who else would I be wandering with? Valek? Oh, wait, that's why I'm here. Because he decided getting lost was a good idea," harsh, hurt sarcasm filled my voice as I glared at my personal demon. The ghost chuckled with little amusement, his ice coloured eyes barely visible as mist wrapped around me. Not us, because he wasn't there. He'd never be there again. Not able to hurt me, or torture me. He was dead.

Except he could still torture me. Even dead, it seemed Reyad's soul had lingered with me, the Soulfinder, and would do until the day I died. He still tortured me, even though he couldn't touch me. Just seeing the face that had inflicted so much pain was torture, but when he went a reminded me of the time I spent in his presence.... That was almost as bad as when he had raped me.

I shivered away from those memories of the moments before I became a prisoner. They were a trap in my mind, ready to spring when I wasn't careful. And even after divulging the story to Valek, once my captor but now my unattainable love, I still couldn't bear to relive those memories with only a ghost of my past as company. Maybe with a friend. Valek, for example, or maybe my brother Leif... But not with only Reyad, my torturer, as company. Although, he couldn't really count as company when he was dead.

"Thinking about our time together?" The spectre asked with mock sincerity. I glared at him, my jade eyes annoyed and dangerous. He leered at me, his sharp canines in harsh contrast with his pink gums. Then he disappeared, his sandy coat merging into the misty grey shadows swirling around me.

Relief flared through me as the last traces of sandy coat merged into the grey. He was gone for the moment. The warmth drained from me as I realised I still had the problem of having no idea where I was and in possibly the bleakest place on this Earth. If only Valek was here. He would know the way out and would walk on those obsidian paws to the green land beyond the vortex of trapped souls, allowing me to follow him. Then we'd lay down on the grass and argue, most probably. But Valek wasn't here, he was lost, and that was why I had come here in the first place. To find him.

Longing welled within me as I thought of the short time I had spent with the moody assassin. Those bright, sapphire eyes. Sometimes intense, sometimes cold and lethal, but always piercing, and always welcoming to me. Then there was him, with his muscular body, but not over muscled. No fat clung under the shaggy onyx coat that covered all of his body.

Unfourtunately, as much as I had wanted him to, he had never seen me the way I saw him. Or at least he had never told me that he did. So I would have to be content with friendship, or, if I didn't find him, nothing at all.

Way to think, Yelena. Valek dead, Leif g*d knows where, Reyad haunting you and the Commander probably being poisoned. I berated myself, but somehow I couldn't believe my sarcastic boss was dead. It just wouldn't be like him. And as for Leif, he would survive. He knew how to fight, and his powers would help him out so he couldn't be ambushed.

All was fine. Well, at least I hoped it was. And there was nothing to fear in this swirling vortex of mist and souls. Why then, couldn't I feel safe?

Words: Around 950
Muse: This is my first time RPing her, so I'm still trying to sort out her reactions.
Playlist: Some songs.
Notes/Other: Ok, the Valek and her thing need a little explaining. Pretty much, she was working for him( as a food taster) and she fell in love with him but never told Valek(naughty naughty). Anyways, she got in trouble a few times while he was still there, and he managed to save her, even though he was in danger of death most of the time himself. So that explains why she was saying that it wasn't like Valek to be dead. Now, to explain their relationship. As I said before, she fell in love with him while working for him and didn't tell him. When he wandered off she was torn up, so she asked permission to try and find him. She was allowed, so that's why she's here. Oh, and Valek does actually love her, but he loves Stealer more. So I see a potential love triangle forming....

Kodex
...The Death Keeper...

One after another ,
black paws landed in the sand,
lifted,and landed again.

The depressing grey fog surounded
me, souls flying with it.The

stench of death radiated from every
kernel of sand that rested upon this

ground, along with the dead
bodies.....Why I am here you ask?

Well, Im the keeper of dead and souls
and all that stuff related to it.I jerked

my large head quickly, It was quiter.A
soul had just been released from this

world, I let out a low growl and turned
in the dirrection of the silence.

I grumbled as a figure came into veiw,
its eyes mezmerized by somehing infront

of it.that's when i realized i had stumled
upon the being who released the soul.

I cleared my throought,
" Excuse me but, What do you think your doing to my souls?"

I snarled betweeen clenched teeth.
I disliked others here unless they

came to die. This female seemed just
fine. My lips curled up into a menicing

snarl, bubbly syliva dripped from
my large pearly canines. It slid

down my bottomlip and sailed down
to the thirsty ground below,and the

earth sucked up the syliva. I placed
a ebony paw forward, planting it

firmly in the sand, which inprinted
the dissapeared as I lifted my paw.

I circled the female, under the protection of the fog, She couldnt see

me but, she could hear me.The
sides of my jowls curved into a smirk.

" Those souls"
I spoke, my voice full of meaning and
anger.

"Those souls are not to be disturbed, by you."
I lowered my head so it apeared I was

stalking her.
"THey arent your buisness, they are mine."

I starred at her with my yellow orbs
before lifting my head and letting

out a cackly bark.
"You probebly dont even know who I am, do you?"

I sat down, still fully aware of the female,
My ears still glued her way. I let out a short

growl, and slowly lifted a paw and put it
infront of my line of balance,Ready to

tackle this female into sumission, make
her feel my anger.

A ghost battered at me
with its paws, trying to get

me to release them. They
began to moan in sadness

and anger. They truely couldt
hurt me here but, back In

my lands, a ghost pack roams
With a taste for their own kind.

Almost twice, has either
one of my females been attacked.

The ghost began to surround
the figure, closing in on her.

Wanting their freedom, the reached
out their paws. 'Help us' . They

Chanted ,getting closer to the female.
I smirked and waiting for her

to be held down against her will,
needing me to save her.

Words: 489
muse: err..
Other: Okay in my next post with stealer she is going yo see what Kodex is doing ,by seeing through his eyes (She does alot of mind stuff), And starts to explain the scene to Valek (Here goes a plot) , So she describes it in detail and Valek gets memory or something about Yelena. So he ask Stealer about what the female wolf kodex sees looks like, and he comes to the conclusion its yelena and Valek wants to see her and they have to go to Kodex's land and yadda yadda.

Don't let the past ruin the future

I listened as paws fell upon the ground. Was it Valek?I shook my head. No, Valek wouldn't make any sound. He would stalk up behind me and surprise me before showing me the way out. Leif? Nope. My brother wouldn't come to a place like this. Souls really weren't his thing. Seriously, he even tried to avoid my Soulfinder magic if he could.

So, who was the wolf out there? No one I knew, certianly. Well, unless it was one of my enemies. And I had alot of them. So that was probably it. Another one of my enemies. I closed my jade eyes and used my magic to feel who was there.

"Excuse me, but what do you think you're doing with my souls?" a voice asked. I flinched, because althoug the voice sounded friendly I could hear it was insincere. Well, that and I could feel the insincerity from the wolf who was speaking. It was a male wolf and quite confident in himself, but that's all I pick up by just brushing over his surface thoughts.

"Giving them the peace they deserve," I answered without really thinking. That was my job. I was a Soulfinder. I found lost souls and guided them to the peace of the sky or the eternal pain of the Fire World. Never had I had to put one in the inbetween place known as the Shadow World. No souls I had known deserved to go to that dreary, dead place.

Actually, the Shadow World was a lot like this place, but it was different, because I actually had substance here. I wasn't just another soul. Well, I was never just any soul. I was the Soulfinder. The one who guided the dead to their final peace. I didn't trap them. I just guided them and soothed their fears.

"Those souls," the voice said, sounding dangerously annoyed. I wasn't really scared. I had lived with a moody assassin whose mood would swing from relaxed and content to scarily mad within moments. No that had been scary, although as I spent more time with Valek I had learnt to read his mood, and eventually I became used to his seemingly random mood swings. Not that they were random when you knew him well enough.

The voice continued to say that the souls weren't my business. Like hell they weren't! I was the Soulfinder, it was my business to hep souls find peace. And whoever this smug bastard was he obviously didn't know that. A snarl carved on ym face as I spun.

"You probably don't even know who I am, do you?" The wolf asked. Yup, definitely a cocky male wolf who thought he could do anything. He needed his ego deflating a little, and I knew just the way to do it.

Without any effort I sunk into the wolf's mind, ignoring everything he felt, instead focussing on his identity. I felt anger, despair and a malicious streak. And a name. Kodex Eclipse. I returned to my own mind and thought the name. He was the Death Keeper. Kinda like me, except much more evil. Well, sorta. He wasn't all evil, like Valek. Actually, thinking about it, he was a lot like Valek.

"Your name is Kodex Eclipse. You keep the dead here, even though they don't want to be here," I said, twisting a strand of magic around the wolf. I felt nothing. No spirit, no soul. No nothing. He had no soul. My eyes widened. He had no soul. How the hell? Everyone had a soul! There was no life without a soul!

Even when I had been tortured, raped and imprisoned for a year I still had a soul, although I couldn't see it, didn't know it was there. But when I did see it, before I knew about my Soulfinder powers, I knew it had been there the whole time. I shook my head and looked into the mist where I had felt the wolf.

"You have no soul..." I breathed, no sure whether the wolf heard or not as a vortex of souls screaming for help had surrounded me. I looked at the souls, sorrow filling my soul. The poor things, trapped in this shadow place when they deserved the peace and contentment of the sky. I sighed and watched them swirl faster around me, begging for freedom. I shivered, wondering if this woul be fate. That would be ironic. The lost soul of the Soulfinder.

Eventually the souls' pleads got to me, and I gathered the spirits within me before releasing them into the sky. The sure of happiness that followed made me smile. I hovered in the sky for a moment with them, soaking in the peace and contentment before returning to my body. The vortex of souls was gone, and I could finally see the wolf that had been watching me.

He was a large male, black in colour. Cold eyes looked at me and I returned the glare. Living with Valek had taught me a thing or two about silent arguments, as Valek and me had ended up ina fight pretty much every second day. I knew not to back down, and I kept the ice in my jade green eyes. He would not rule me, and I would not submit. I was the Soulfinder, I was master of ym own fate.

"Kodex Eclipse," I said, a slight sneer in my voice. "Do you know who I am? Do you know what I am, Death Keeper?"

Words: 950. I think
Muse: Getting there
Notes/Other: Ooooo. This will be interesting. Yelena's released half of his souls and is now asking the same question he asked. Wonder how Kodex is gonna react?

[Juggy]

OOC- Mazz I forgot to metion! That Kodex sold his soul!!! He has none....Its with la devil....Sorry...I ment to tell you forever ago but, it slipped my mind..

[mazzira]

OOC(Doesn't matter. Yelena can read minds to. Latent ability that all members of her pack have that only works if they have a power.)

OOC(Done! ;D)
