Polo

Polo was a fast pup. He did not really have any manners when eating, but was still a very skilled young wolf. One day, he wanted to become a hunter. The problem was, his twin brother Marco had the same plans. And they didn't like each other. They were very similar, but Polo was the one who turned out well and Marco was the one that's just boring - Polo's opinion.
So their whole childhood was basically competing against each other and not liking each other.

Until one day near growing into adolescence, they had a fight. After giving each other a few wounds they "talked" - or rather snarled:
M: "I really don't want to be in the same hunting group as you when we grow adults!"
P: "Absolutely! I want to stay away from you as far as possible."
M: "Same with me! I'd rather go to another pack than have to be with you!"
P: "Hah! Why not? Just become a traveller and leave me alone!"
M: "Yeah, why not? And then I can do cool stuff all day and don't have to talk to you anymore!"
P: "I bet, I'd be a better traveller than you!"
M: "Bet?"
P: "Bet."

So it was decided. They wanted to leave the pack when they were adolescents and find out, who was better at being a traveller. They planned on taking different routes aswell.

Thank you for letting Polo stay withhin your pack! Feel free to let them help you with chores, socialize with your wolves, give them decorations you don't need and (most importantly) update their Bio! I would love to gather some lore on them :))
I am very curious on how two identical wolves would do on completely different trips so I decided to send Polo and his brother off :D
If you want to breed them, feel free to form a pair bond.

Rules:
- Please keep for max. 4 rollovers (can stay longer if being bred)
- Feed and play
- Please read bio and update it accordingly
- Prompt: What happened during the stay? Were they liked by the other wolves? Did they have even find a lover?
- At 6 years old, please send back to Nonamewolf #84672

SpoilerAfter the fight, one of Polo's wounds healed but was still visible. It would be a reminder of his absolutely annoying brother who made him go to his limits.
Marco had talked to Rufous - a former traveller - and planned on following her tip to visit the Night Keeper Pack. Polo thought of this as just being scared and felt superior. He wanted to trust his nose and see where he would land.

When he got old enough, he left the pack, being bid farewell by his whole family and walking in the opposite direction of his brother, not turning his head back once.

SpoilerPolo was worried. He felt like resting for a bit, maybe at home? He made his way towards the Noname Pack to calm down for a while. Or that was the plan, until he sensed Marcos scent.His damned brother thought it was a good idea to come home at the same time as him? Polo was angered, he just wanted to see his family... But he couldn't. It would be too dangerous to meet him - and he didn't even want to see that face! So he quickly moved past the den site, hoping that noone would realize that he passed through.

Pack name and ID/link: Moirai Den
Decors added (optional):
Journal: SpoilerMarco showed up to the Moirai Den first. He was excited to start fresh, without his brother Polo. About a day or two later, Polo showed up at the entrance of the cave with his head low. He had gotten lost and ended up in the pups play space. One of the older pups lead him to their Leader, Myoga. Myoga ran the pack with an iron paw, keeping everyone fed, working, and moving at all times. When Marco found out his brother was around, he flipped out. He yelled at Myoga and anyone who would listen about how awful his brother was. Myoga didn't care to listen, nor did she care for the yelling and arguing. Marco became a hunter for the pack, training alongside some of the best hunters in the moirai area! That was until one of the members of the hunting pack was injured. Polo was forced to join alongside his brother. Snarls, clawing, and arguing ensued during the hunts. They fought eachother instead of the prey, which lead to many many failed hunts. It left the hunting pack members irritated and annoyed beyond reasoning.
Marco and Polo had both fallen for an older wolf named "Onyx". She was more of a "cougar" or so you could say. Once Marco found out polo liked her too, he messed up a hunt horribly. Two members were injured in the process, leaving marco and polo to fight once again. They both told Onyx separately, but both were rejected, harshly. She schooled them on manners, behavior, and knocked some sense into them. They were kicked from the hunting pack, and ultimately, Myoga decided it was best to send them back where they came from. With cold regards, Myoga sent them home, hoping to never hear from them both at the same time again.

Journal: SpoilerPolo was wandering the lands, desperate for his next stop when he stumbled across a small clearing in the woods. He was a bit uneasy about it, and decided to look around. He could feel a pair of eyes watching him from the shadows of the trees. He heard a thump behind him and turned to see a large wolf with dark eyes. "What are you doing here", the looming figure asked. He was clad in wolf skulls and fangs with scars striping his face. "I'm just looking for a place to stay. I'm a traveler, and I mean no harm" Polo responded, trying to avoid his piercing gaze. "That's enough, Fastúlfr". Another wolf stepped into the clearing, this one adorned in a cape. The larger wolf stepped back, bowing his head. The newcomer turned to Polo. "I am Rayen, daughter of Aumber. It is our pack tradition to take in those that wander, so you are safe here." Polo sighed with relief. "Please, make yourself at home", Aumber said as she led him to the rest of the pack

Journal: SpoilerThe last pack was quite nice to Polo, but when he continued his journey, he had the feeling that he wanted to visit home again. Especially, as Marco was there last time - which made him slip by unnoticed - it was his time to see his family now! He headed towards the Taiga.
When he arrived, he had a great welcome and started telling stories. He might have exaggerated a tiny bit - just in case, he still wanted to sound cooler than his brother - but he was quiet about what happened at the Night Keeper Pack.
He planned on leaving after a few days.

Journal: SpoilerAfter a visit to his home pack, Polo stumbled upon another pack to set up camp with for a few days. He was welcomed in graciously by the wolves. As he claimed a spot to rest, the Pack's Leader approached Polo, and asked if he would mind pupysitting. Puppysitting, of all things, he thought. He scoffed audibly, and Collie, the leader, frowned a little.
"Don't you think that puppysitting is a valuable job?" The leader asked.
"I..." Polo hesitated a moment, feeling out if the leader may kick him out if he was truthful. "Honestly? Not really. I came out here for adventure, to prove myself, not to stay in the den and watch pups."
"I understand that watching pups might seem like a bore, but I can assure you there's more to it than that," Collie began. "Puppysitters help shape the future, though. They fight any threats to the young, and teach them valuable life lessons. Plus," he added with a small smirk and a wink, "I bet your brother hasn't even tried it. It's something you can say you did, that he hasn't."
Polo thought for a moment. His brother probably hadn't tried it. It was something he could hold over Marco if he hadn't...
And with a nod, Polo agreed to the work.

Pack name and ID/link: Comet Eclipse
Decors added (optional): - Purple Lunar Storm Discharge
Journal: Spoiler Polo wanders in the dead of night, trying to find the next stop in his journey. A bright streak of purple flashed across the sky and he waited for the accompanying boom, only for it to never come. Instead, a voice rang out behind him, warmly welcoming him to the territory of the Comet Eclipse pack. Though he did ask about the lightning, he never got a straight answer and eventually got fed up and stopped asking altogether.
He spent his at Comet Eclipse joining the hunting parties on their tours, and during his free time he talked long into the night with others like him.

Pack name and ID/link: MoonValley Banes
Decors added (optional): - Didn't have anything to spare unfortunatley
Journal: SpoilerAfter his goodbyes to the Comet Eclipse pack Polo spent the next few days crossing from the Praire into the vast seemingly endless grasslands. After what seemed to be weeks Polo came across a luscious biome in which he decided to explore after spotting the sky high mountain that seemed to be in the center of said territory. Not long after crossing the border he came across a wolf whom he now knows to be Boreas, the beta of the MoonValley Banes. The two immediately were able to strike up a comfortable conversation before Boreas decided to invite Polo back to the pack grounds. After meeting the plethora of omegas and lower tier wolves he was faced with his next challenge. That being to climb to the top of Mount Glory, the sky high mountain that the most elite wolves of the pack resided on. Seemingly with ease Polo was able to conquer this challenge. Many of the pack members applauded him and rejoiced. Even Alpha Zeus made an appearance in which he invited Polo to stay amongst the skilled warriors, although Polo declined as more adventures await. Throughout his stay he told many tales of his journeys to the packs pups and adolescents, some of which seemed to want to follow in his steps. After about a week Polo decided to say his goodbyes once more and be off on his next journey.

Journal: SpoilerPalo arrived in the mountains terrain, paws tired and slightly sweating from the spring sun. Out of the rocks came bounding a large muscular wolf, a rabbit in its mouth, and its moonshine eye with one eye scarred over approaches. The wolf looks him up and down. "Traveler?" The wolf whispered. Palo nodded and the vanilla wolf told him to follow. Palo followed up the mountain, across a creek, and in the dip of a tall mountain through the trees lay a medium-sized pack. "My name is Reaper, I'll let the alpha know you're here. Be careful of the pups. They're feisty this year." The one-eyed wolf trotted off. Palo counted the pups, there was twenty, and then another pregnant female. These wolves have been busy. A medium-sized older female walked up with two pups behind her. Blood dripped from her face, and her ears were pierced. Palo thought it was interesting. He learned her name was Accalia, and she ran a type ship, besides the overrunning of puppies. Accalia told him to stay for as long as he liked, but his night would be filled with the growling, laughter, and rumbling of puppies. Palo agreed to stay, on one condition. As long as Palo got to tell his stories from other packs to inspire future travelers. Accalia happily agreed, and told him to tell them everything, no matter how brutal.

Decors added (optional): -
Journal: SpoilerAfter a while again, Polo found himself near his home. He heard rumors about a war going on in his home pack and wanted to check if that was true. The territory was scarily empty and when he entered the den site, he found out why: His family was holding the burying ceremony of the late leader Delilah. She had passed the night before. The pack lovingly welcomed him aswell as the new leader Viktoria. Woah, she looked tough. He could see her puff out her chest - obviously proud about her new role - and was told that he is fine to stay as he is known by many of the pack members. She was too young to recognize him.
Even though the first impression was strange, he kind of liked her. She wasn't as boring as many of the other members - but a little bit too arrogant for his taste.
After helping out for a few days and fending off some of the "Cultists", Polo left for another adventure.

Journal: LorePolo spent his time at the Kingdom of Light doing some light sparring with the hunters of the pack. He enjoyed himself, and made the mothers of the youngest members give him some dirty glances for his vulgar language in passing while conversing with other packmates. Polo left the pack with a new scar on his left ear, a little notch from a spar with Lakua.

Pack name and ID/link: Winterset Pack
Decors added (optional):
Journal: SpoilerPolo found himself staying with a strange pack of thick-furred mountain wolves, he was settled into a den simply known as the Traveler's rest, where he shared with the pack scouts. The wolves of the Winterset pack were friendly enough, if you ignored their lead wolf, who he had been warned on his arrival was prickly towards travelers.
The pack shared their stories with him, the older wolves giving little mind if he interjected while they were speaking or was too harsh with his language. It was a nice change of pace for him to be met with patience rather than annoyance. While the lead wolf may have glared at him from across the camp, the pack did not ask much from him, the dens were well kept and the pups had plenty of wolves keeping an eye on them. Polo found himself growing comfortable and in no real hurry for a time, but his competitive spirit continued to burn when his thoughts drifted, reminding him of his brother, probably somewhere far off getting stronger as Polo listened to elders tell faerie stories.
After a few goodbyes he headed out again, rested and determined.

Journal: After wandering, Polo came upon a strange pack that called itself 'Stonetooth' in the Coniferous forest. Upon approach, he was brought to their leader, Teeth of Song, to exchange information and hopefully stay for a little while. He learned that they are a highly nomadic pack, constantly moving, diverse and strange with wolves from many places and few permanent residents beside those descended from the First Tooth. He was ecstatic to see such a diverse pack, and immediately began mingling with the crowd. However, his aggressive personality didn't land him many friends, and he knew it was time to move on after a few days.

Decors added (optional): Bone Decor
Journal: SpoilerPolo realized that he was getting old. He had promised to come back home when he was six and that age he was currently close to reach. So he started his last journey back home.

He managed to avoid any Cultists and arrived at the den site rather quickly and was welcomed by a huge group of wolves welcoming him back home. Ah.. family. Then his eyes caught a glimpse of Marco. Ah family... That loser must have arrived a bit before him. When the wolves were celebrating, his brother didn't seem to be around - he was quite pleased by that. After the celebration, the two barely spoke, but Polo enjoyed the stay with the rest of his family quite a lot.
