[ COMPLETED ]

She twitched her ears while she listened, and was excited that a wolf that knew magic could explain it to her. Still though, with how much time she spent up north and around water she felt that surely she should have had more affinity to it. She shrugged, "Guess I will have to play with water more!" She grinned, in a much better mood now that her stomach wasn't trying to eat itself.

"You know, the wolf that took me in must have been super good at staying hidden. Its only been since the beginning of spring since he passed and I have already met another wolf... But we were alone for at least a year. So, I dont know much but the mountains up north.

From the comment Symia made, Aura gathered that she did like water. With a smile, she produced an orb of it herself and bobbled it around a moment. <b>"Water is a difficult one sometimes because it's so fluid and tends to want to go certain ways of its own. However, I find it is a most gentle element to work with, at least to start. Once you master it, you can even change the water into it's harder form, of ice."</b> She barked with a grin, the orb swiftly turning to ice as she set it down on the grass, exhibiting her own prowess over the element.

As she then further explained her own situation, Aura grinned and nodded her head. This was fairly common, it seemed, for wolves that had come to this area. <b>"This whole area . . . it's strange. There's fringes of this main area where there just aren't many wolves at all, those of you that wander in suddenly seem to find more wolves, well that's not a coincidence. There's something about the stone ruins to the north and east that seem to attract wolves in. You'll find more wolves in these areas trust me. And if you're going north, you might meet The Aegis, they're a pack of good wolves that live up there. Sif's really nice, she'd help you if you needed it."</b> The tiny azahi continued, hoping that this information would be of benefit to her new friend.

She nodded as she watched the orb form and freeze after moving around briefly finally coming to rest on the grass. "I need to be able to do that!" Her yips were raised in excitement, and it was more a promise to herself than a comment to Aura

She had never heard of these stone ruins, but the wolf that had taken her in had been kind enough to warn her not to venture into the gray and black covered island so perhaps that was what he was reffering to. She didn't quite know what she wanted out of life anymore. A pack sounded like something she wanted but a part of her felt like she was still missing out on something. She ached to remember her past, even just a little piece, but her mind just couldn't reach that far. "Are you in a pack? I don't know if I want to go to pack territory, not yet. I'm still just beginning to explore these new areas... But I would understand why there are more- even I feel like I am being pulled by... Something." She paused, shifting again- wondering what could be in the ruins, "Have you been there?"

Well, it was good to see another wolf excited about magic. Aura herself had always enjoyed it, but then again, she had been born with some, even before she had come to Sverige. However, then she moved on and seemed a bit concerned about pack territory. She nodded, realizing that this wolf clearly had a good sense of caution. It could be death to walk into some pack territories . . . she didn't think any of those were still around but it did not hurt to be careful.

<b>"Oh! I'm not in a pack. But I help a lot of the packs around here. I think I would be in one if I didn't just want to help all of them. I don't know. I suppose not always does a wolf fit a pack or vice versa."</b> She offered up in her chipper barks as an explanation of her thoughts. Then, continuing, she knew that it would be important for her new friend to understand just what was going on in those stone ruins. <b>"The stone ruins aren't . . . well, they're not the nicest place. There IS a really nice pack, named Zanali, in the ruins closer to the north edge of them, and they are pretty cool. But there are strange creatures there that have sticks that spout fire sometimes and have been known to harm wolves. There's also a few of the stranger creatures that live there as well, flying lizard like birds and creepy canine creatures."</b> She shook her head at that point and made a face.

She nodded an agreeance, she didn't have the capabilities to help pack or other wolves for that matter. But, one day she would have loved to join one. For now though, shw would train and hone her skills. Perhaps even finally figure out how to connect with her magic.

Aura spoke of the strange fire stick creatures and she pulled her ears back, things like that she had never seen or heard of and she imagined something out of her worst nightmares. And yet, she was still curious to know what these creatures were like. Canine creatures were mentioned as well, and Symia wondered what she meant by that.

"Canine creatures? Like us? How are they creepy? Do these fire stick creatures have packs? Will they hunt us...?" Her barks were both fearful and intensely curious, the pull was growing deeper.

Well, she so far had succeeded in slightly scaring Symia, which made her feel bad for a moment, before remembering that it was important that she knew this information. So when she asked about the canine creatures, Aura gave her more information, hoping she never would have to deal with them. <b>"Well. They're short of short and stocky, and they look like azahi, but not as fluffy, sometimes they're missing fur and and it's really short. They usually have funny teeth or a messed up tail and they're brown mostly. They don't seem like much but they're crazy and don't seem to have any thought behind them. So a whole pack of them can be pretty dangerous for a wolf, because they'll just attack for no reason!"</b> She barked, her tones a bit alarmed at that part, although as there wasn't actually any of them here at the moment, so she wasn't outright afraid. However, they were sort of alarming to talk about.

The tiny azahi also could give her more information about the other creatures too. <b>"They might, or they might not. I've heard from some that the weird creatures that walk on just two legs have hurt wolves, and I've heard they have been nice to some. I don't trust them. They're weird, they don't seem to make sense to me. They do live in just one area, in the stone ruins, in a weird shiny sort of square dwelling thing."</b> In Aura's case, she would rather warn others to stay away from them. They simply were just too weird.

She mulled these two things over for a moment or two. Wondering how she had never run across any or why the wolf that cared for her never mentioned any of this. "Yeah, I think I will just... Stay away from that place."

She shifted her weight, swaying a little bit. She was still mildly boring. Full, well rested, but bored. She enjoyed this little wolf but wasn't sure exaclty what else could be done.

"So Aura. What is fun, then?" She meant it as a way to ask what Aura did for fun, but she still wasn't exactly good at interactions.

Aura could only nod agreement at the sentiment to stay away from those places. It was a good idea, truth be told. <b>"I tend to stay away as well unless I'm flying over and see the need to perhaps aid another wolf that I spy from the sky. I have some magics to aid me, however, so at the very least, if I do run into trouble, it's not so fatal."</b> It wasn't that way for others, which is why she was often found to stop and help if she noticed any down below when she was making a trip. The least she could do with her magic was to help others, it was one of the tenents she lived by.

Then, she was asked what was fun. It made her tilt her head a bit, the query and she chuckled a moment and nodded. <b>"Well, I like a nice flight about sometimes, or working my magic to grow something really fantastic. I could show you something if you wanted. This place could use a bit more . . . interest, I guess. It is rather a bit dull."</b> Perhaps that was what Symia was meaning by her odd query. It didn't bother Aura in the slightest, the tiny wolf was always glad to make a friend, however that may go.

"Dull? I suppose..." She looked around, wondering what this tiny little wolf could do to make it impressive.

"What do you think you could do to this place Aura?" She herself, having nothing for now, could not envision anything to be done. But maybe she would slowly gain creativity.

The meadow was a nice one, with soft grasses and even a pond that allowed for those that traveled it to have a drink to refresh themselves. However, it was flat and not rife with many other features, and Aura, being an earthen mage, could change that fairly easily. When Symia asked her what she could do, her eye sparkled a bit and she fluttered herself up into the air with a barked <b>"Watch."</b> to her new friend as she looked out, not too far away from where the wolves had been standing, and chose a place in the canvas that was the ground. That was what it was to her, in this moment, a lush canvas that she would breach something out of using her powerful skills.

Then, she concentrated on bringing to bear her earthen affinity. The ground rumbled only slightly, but it was localized towards the area she was working with. Suddenly, a bump swelled below the ground, causing the earth and the grasses to shiver a moment before a tree suddenly broke free of the surface and grew upwards, a huge oak tree trunk simply arising from the earth, it's girth easily twice as wide as a full grown wolf. As it rose, branches sprouted from the top of it, forming a leafy canopy all around that looked as fresh and new as if it had just seen the spring's birth. It wasn't the tallest tree, only perhaps 20 foot tall, as she stopped it's growth at a decent size, allowing it's roots to sink into the ground well all around. She fluttered over to it and landed within it's shade and barked back to Symia. <b>"See? Less dull now maybe!"</b>
