Doe

original lore written by Charcoal🌾🐾!

Doe was born in the Winged Keepers Pack on May 18th, year 2.
Her thin figure was concerning for the only pup to survive out of her litter. Pebble always says that she doesn't care what other wolves say about Doe, she will forever be her pup in Pebble's eyes.

May 23rd, year 2.
"Why?!?! Why did she leave me... she said I was her prize and joy of her life! I usually seek comfort from Frost, and she always says that my mother was strange to the rest. Oak always cheers me up by saying that she left to protect me, but I swear... I swear she left because she didn't love me! .... I miss you mom... I just want you back home..."

May 28th, year 3.
"I have vowed to myself that I will find my mother once I am older. I do not care what Frost or Oak think, I am doing what is right in my heart."

Anything after this point is written by October.

May 31st, Leaving the Winged Keepers.
The night sky was darkened with rain clouds when Doe spotted the familiar white tail of Seal slipping out of camp, his bright white pelt practically acting as a spotlight despite the shadows that loomed over them.

What was he doing up so late at night? Where was he going? The questions ate at her until she couldn't take wondering anymore and finally pushed herself to her paws and slowly crept after him, careful not to alert any attention to herself as she went. If one of the Winged Keepers gifts were sneaking away at night she wanted to know why, especially when Ibis' pups would be born any day now.


At the border.
Soft rain had become almost as merciless as hail by the time Doe stood at the edge of The Winged Keepers' territory, feeling anticipation prick at her pelt as she began to pace along the border.

This was it. One more step and she'd be the farthest she's ever been.. But why would Seal go out this far? The realization struck her hard as she stared into the forest she saw him disappear into. He was running away.

But why? She wondered, staring into the bushes where she had last seen the white wolf. She felt frozen in place, paralysed by uncertainty as she stared into the unknown. Whatever the reason, she could understand wanting to leave more than most.. She had once promised herself that she would leave everything behind when she was older and go searching for her mother.

She was only a few moons away from that now.. But could she really wait that long? Waiting meant a losing moons that could've been spent searching for answers. When would another opportunity like this appear? Maybe.. Maybe she didn't have to go alone.

It was then that she decided that, If he was leaving, she was coming with him. She couldn't let herself miss out on a chance to start her search early.

Finding Kenopsia.
"Seal! Wait up!" Doe's voice could barely be heard in the vastness of the taiga, along with any other sound that tried to escape being drowned out by the splashing of the rain and mud.

She raced through the underbrush, searching desperately for any sign of the wolf she had been following. Surely he couldn't have gotten that far? She only hesitated at the border for a few seconds, maybe a minute at most!

She could feel the ice cold chill of the wind swirling around her as she ran, squinting in an attempt to stop the stinging in her eyes and to prevent it from obscuring her vision. Any attempts at easing the ache only seemed hopeless and she was forced to blink her eyes shut and shake the rain from her head.

She let out a yelp as she felt the muddy ground slip from under her and she went tumbling blindly down a slope until she barrelled into something that tripped into the mud with a strangled sound. Doe scrambled to her paws and managed to stutter out half of an apology before letting out a yelp as she felt something just barely brush past her face and a sharp pain splitting through her ear.

She felt panic strike through her as she jolted away and ran, the sound of rapid paw-steps trailing after her. She blinked the water out of her eyes and looked over her shoulder, only to be met with the sharp amber eyes of a lynx.

Tears threatened to spill from her eyes as they flickered through the spaces between the trees and searched for any sign of the snow-like wolf. Even with the mix of fear and adrenaline rushing through her, she could feel exhaustion starting to seep into her limbs.

Was this it? Was this how she was going to die? Scared out of her mind and running through a seemingly endless forest?

"SEAL!" She screamed out, only to feel claws sink into her back leg and pull her down into the mud with a crash. [Scar: Scratched Upper Leg [Left] obtained] The lynx tore its claws away from her leg and Doe paused her struggling, watching the claws of the cat raise high into the air with a hiss, and shut her eyes tightly.

A dark blurr abruptly crashed into the lynx and Doe's eyes shot open at the cat's panicked yowl. She managed to catch a glimpse of a dark coloured wolf standing above her, the lynx's arm trapped between the stranger's jaws. She watched as he fought them off, earning a few scars in the process before turning to her.

When she finally got a good look at her protector she felt her blood run cold and couldn't tell what she was supposed to be more scared of, him or the lynx. The last thing she saw before the world around her spun and her eyelids grew heavy, was the pitch black void of his eyes that seemed to hold two yellow pin-pricks of lights trapped inside.
