I accpeted and was honored Lukos did this with the welfare of the Pack in his heart.

What is important is that I know he is a good wolf and that he will always be there for me and every other wolf with love in his heart. So I do not know when he will return, but I know, I can wait. Because, he is a great wolf. And we all love him, especially me. * SilverWlf nods, and listens * BlackenedRain grows silent. * SilverWlf howls softly for Black [SilverWlf SOUND] * BlackenedRain nuzzles silver. * Skiri-ki chuffs softly.......and noses blacky softly...."you spoke well of him, and I thank you..." * BlackenedRain noses skiri 'I was speaking what was in my heart.

(thinks) * Skiri-ki smiles,.... (you wish to go first, silver? Its your start, if you wish it...) * SilverWlf is wanting to try and ontinue his earlier story Because of other hoomans' schedules, many times we were the only 2 in the clearing... it felt like there were many, he made me feel like I am supposed to be here Lukos always smiled first thing he'd do was ask how I was...it's always good to be with people (er wolves) who genuinely care adding to Blacks' story, I can and will wait for him to return...because I know he will all will be as it was, and based on today, that seems to be a concensus opinion * SilverWlf finishes, hoping that sounded right * SilverWlf looks to Skiri and Black for any comments * Skiri-ki blinks..."the true heart knows nothing of "hope that sounded right" :) ...but yes, if that is what you are asking, you have done Lukos proudly and yourself too..... * SilverWlf smiles softly Silver, your story has blessed your name, the name of this pack and the name of lukos... * SilverWlf pads over to Black and bats at his muzzle..10yours too :) Your name obviously is true to yourself You reflect what is in your heart...If you look into your eyes, you can see your heart... * SilverWlf smiles softly, never thought of that * SilverWlf nuzzles Black, thanks * Skiri-ki smiles....and agrees...and is glad another found that to say..... * BlackenedRain returns the nuzzles * BlackenedRain thinks skiri's wisdom is rubbing off on him :P * SilverWlf griggles softly * BlackenedRain thinks that is probably true as his wisdom is of great proportion * Skiri-ki smiles - thats not wisdom. Thats simply the heart being freed to speak of what it knows.....without interference....to see the best and tenderest...and always look for the other heart too..... * Skiri-ki smiles...may I speak too? * BlackenedRain nods Of course you may. It would bless our hearts and yours too. * Skiri-ki smiles...... * Skiri-ki sits up straighter, and begins....... Neva, his Court, his Love, and his Alpha, spoke of Lukos and his loyalty. * SilverWlf nods She spoke of his willingness to leave rather than risk disharmony, and that is a very hard thing to do. BlackenedRain spoke of Lukos, his goodness, that he is always there, and holds others dear with love..... Silver, my dear friend....you have told us of his presence.....among many things you could have spoken.....his way of looking to others and being soft no matter the heartache he himself felt, to keep himself there for others who needed him more..... * Skiri-ki ...I would speak of his passion..... Because underneath....to me, Lukos is a wolf of passion...but not aimless useless passion. The purest kind. He loves fiercly AND well...he has sought a pack for not weeks or months, but years, a mate for years too.... and now, having achieved both..... * SilverWlf listens he still is fierce and devoted in his love for them, still a fire in his heart for those he loves, still a warming presence in the lives of any who meet him. Despite circumstances we know of, he is here with us, and we with him, and howls and hunts and cries - and loves...and is loved. And his passion for those he holds dear, is a blazing fire And it will never go out. * SilverWlf listens And it will be a beacon in the distance, and wolves will seee it from afar and ask each other in wonder... "What is that light, that blazing light so strong even far away" and others will reply "It is Lukos, of the Sweet Mystic Wolfpack.... ...and that light is his heart's fire.....guiding him surely onwards and home And it will never go dim or die....." * Skiri-ki slows...and returns from wherever his mothers spirit, the Seeress, has taken him...and softly looks around......and is silent in thought..... * Skiri-ki Does anywolf have any final words....? * BlackenedRain would like to add * SilverWlf listens to Black I have come across many wolves. * SilverWlf smiles They have all tried to get somewhere and given up half way through But, lukos, this wolf has not. He hasnt set out to achieve his loving and goodness He was born with it. He is a truly special wolf. A loving wolf. Like a father. And the first alpha, the loving, caring first alpha, maybe he was lacking something. But in the way of love and personality, Lukos, in my eyes is lacking nothing. * SilverWlf listens He always will bring peace and love to everywhere that he treads And along the way, every wolf will say 'That wolf, he has a heart of gold. Wherever his home is, they are blessed with his presence.' 'And I hope to the great moon, that he will tread here once again one day, to share his love, and affection with us, for that is his nature. * SilverWlf smiles But even though he is a loving, caring wolf, he will do anything to protect his family, his pack, and the ones he loves so dearly. And I know, I will do the same for him, for when he is long gone, he will live on forever in our hearts. * BlackenedRain grows quiet. * SilverWlf pads up and nuzzles Black * BlackenedRain returns the nuzzles * SilverWlf smiles * BlackenedRain adds a little more * SilverWlf meeps and pads back For his nature, that is the nature of the wolf. * BlackenedRain grows quiet once more * Skiri-ki smiles......and looks one last time at SIlve..... * Skiri-ki ... * Skiri-ki "Silver...you have a special bond with Lukos... * Skiri-ki ...you know him in a way no other wolf does, or can, yet... * Skiri-ki ...it is your place to close this for him and us..... * Skiri-ki ...will you say a few words? * SilverWlf looks to Skiri.....I will try * BlackenedRain listens and sits close to skiri and silver * SilverWlf takes a moment to gather his thoughts, being the last to speak... * SilverWlf takes a moment to gather his thoughts * SilverWlf looks to Neva/Skiri's den, stares for a moment, and closes his eyes... * SilverWlf looks to Skiri, then to Black, then stands... Lukos is a very special wolf He's always there with his positive, helpful, fun presence * SilverWlf thinks of what it is he wants to say... (follow your heart...) he was here on my first day here...and I immediately liked him.. and it's all gone uphill from there :) as I reach the end of my first month here... something I have to admit I have begun to take for granted at times is taken away I know he will come back, and I can and will wait no matter how long he is gone, as Neva said, I will wait for him because he has always been there for me, and I feel I need to do the same for him * SilverWlf ======= * Skiri-ki smiles... ((I must go now.....Bbye)) * Skiri-ki looks round at this place where so much love and affection has been expressed.....for one whose spirit walks always with this pack...whose heart continues to warm the hearts of the wolves who live and visit here.....and whose body will return shortly... *** BlackenedRain (~Nightmare@host213-122-45-6.btinternet.com) Quit (Quit: Run with the wolf ^_^) * Skiri-ki smiles...thank you. * Skiri-ki sits a moment in silence....... * SilverWlf stares at his paws * Skiri-ki ...... * SilverWlf howls softly, emotion to strong [SilverWlf SOUND] * Skiri-ki smiles, and pads over to Silver - "wanna go race up to the far trees and back Silvie?" * SilverWlf nuzzles Skiri
