It was cold at high altitudes and Nastrix was getting used to that. Even though the large pup was from Ice Pack, there was nothing quite so cold as the air above the clouds. However, that was something he'd just have to deal with if he wanted some freedom from his family. Ever since his father passed away, Sol and Rei made it their personal priority to make sure he was as uncomfortably stifled with safety and a babysitter at all times. THAT he just couldn't deal with. So, with some new found apendages, he was often somewhere they couldn't follow. Yes... the skies.
Wings.. The crimson and onyx pup couldn't believe it at first. He'd first noticed a change in his body with a strangely irritating pain in his shoulders, like something was stabbing him from the inside out. Then, one day he just woke up with two small nubs poking out of his back. He thought at first that they were something bad, like tumors, but eventually they grew and developed feathers. Wings! Large black angelic wings with red remex feathers. He liked them... A lot. They gave him one of those untouchable looks, like he was more than just a wolf.
The fun part was learning to fly on his own. Being blind, that was no easy task. But as he grew older, his senses formulated around his lack of sight. There was no way to describe it thoroughly, but he could feel things, see them in sound and wind. Anything that disrupted normal vibration patterns signaled object and obsticals to him. It was like a second language really. He'd learned how to translate different patterns into specific objects. Of course, the first one he learned was "wolf" seeing as they were constantly around him. Without his father and with his mother often gone, he was no longer simply the child of a pair, but the child of a pack. Oh how he hated that.
Even from as high up as he was, a faint sound came to him... And made him grin. Nastrix pinned back his wings, folding them neathly against his body as he started to plummet back to the surface. The moisture of the clouds coated his fur, turning to ice as the wind rushed through his brilliant red overcoat and even startled the black undercoat beneath. He could feel the ground coming at him fast as he accelerated toward the Ice Pack lands. When he felt the right pressure and the earth seemed almost too close, Nastrix shot his wings out. The wind hit them, the sudden multiplication of his surface area making him slow his descent at a rapid pace. His black paws made contact with the icy surface of the ground, little claws sraping the surface as he skid a couple feet. The red fur settle over the black undercoat that now just barely peeked from its hiding place.
A smirk spread across the young wolf's face. He was in that odd stage at the moment, somewhere between pup and adult. Of course, in his mind he was still rather the pup. He wouldn't let go of that no matter what. After all, he WAS the youngest in his family so he had reason to act the part.
With lengthy strides, the young brute jogged the rest of the distance to his only friend. "Yo, Mello!" he barked from twenty or so meters away. Running the rest of the distance, wings folding back to his sides, Nastrix skid to a halt in front of the tri coloured wolf his age. "What's up? Haven't seen you in a while!"
The cloudy blue blinded eyes stared in the other's direction, but not quite matching gazes. That was the hard part about being blind. You could get it just about right, but never exact. A lot of wolves hated that, the fact that he couldn't make eye contact, but the little brute didn't care. It's not like he could help it... In any case, Nastrix could feel the presence of a large being. Dragon. He knew that shape as well. There were quite a few in the pack, most belonging to Sen, Mello's sister. The relization that he must have stolen an egg from her crossed his mind and his grin grew. "You, uh, find that somewhere? Like, maybe in a den?"
Nastrix snickered, waiting for Mellow's answer.
