My second attempt in taming WF10 . I really love her and I want her so bad xD So I changed the handler for her. I still think WF09 is cool and I would love to have her. But WF10 is strangly easier to draw and Muro has enough dark animals. She needs more companions with scars over their left eyes
This time I did my background myself. Yeeeeaaaay. I hate doing backgrounds, because I am so freaking bad at it. But there was no photo I could manipulate to look the way I wanted it this time. And I think the result is okay.
Anyway. Prepare yourself for a longer story this time, because I wanted to introduce my characters and I needed to set the time period right. I started the story with Muro in the dark age. But I was talking with Jackewa over making the Tokos canon in our regular RP, so I had to transfer everything in the present. I know "It was all a dream." is quite a cop-out but meh xD
Hope you enjoy

Slowly Muro opens her eyes and for a moment she is confused. Where is she? And when? But even after she opened her eyes her view keeps black and empty. She can't see anything.
It takes her a moment to understand her surroundings. Under her head is something soft and moving, while a big warm hand is slowly brushing her forehead. "Darius?" Muro's voice is a little raspy from the sleep and she feels weak. The hand on her forehead stops, then brushes her hair out of her face. A deep hum tells her, that he is listening and she can feel his breath on her face. So most likely he is looking at her. "How long did I sleep?" Muro asks and carefully sits up to have a stretch. Another hum, then she feels the man next to her shifting. "About two hours." He answers and Muro feels his hand on her nape softly massaging it. The woman quietly purrs before turning around and carefuly feels around for her husband infront of her. When she feels his shoulder she lays her head on it and closes her eyes again. "I had a wonderful dream." She whispers and Darius looks down on her and lays an arm around her. "Hmm?" He hums again to encourage her to tell him about it. "Do you remember the plains mare Draven and Archimedes gifted me a while ago? I was riding her. But at the same time I was back home in our old tribe. Father sent me to get some fish for dinner and for the pets." She tells and opens the eyes again, a soft smile on her lips. Darius pulls her closer and strikes tenderly with his thumb over her arm. "When I was finished fishing I wanted to turn home again. But on my way I encountered two Tokotas. A tawny one and one with a scar over its left eye." She says. Darius gives out a surprised snort and looks down to her. "You have dreamed of me as a Tokota?" He asks perplex and Muro chuckles amused. "No. The Tokota was partly white. Only her left side had some tawny spots." She answers and Darius nods understanding. A while they both fall silent. Muro closes her blind eyes again and nestles her head against her husbands neck. A little nostalgic she takes a deep breath and takes in the smell of the man next to her. Although he is in his human form right now she can clearly smell the werewolf inside him. A smell she learned to love although her vampire instinct told her to hate it. "We had Tokotas back home." She mutters softly and feels Darius nodding again. "I remember it. You had a black one. She followed you everywhere." He says and Muro smiles gently. After some time she frowns pensive. "I can't remember her name." She admits and tries to remember the name of her pet. "Svarti." Darius says with an amused chuckle. Muro frowns and lays her hand on her forehead. "Oh. Nice. I called my black Tokota Blacky. I was such a creative little girl." She says selfironicly, but then chuckles herself. Darius leans forward and gives her a kiss on her nose. "I think you was." He admits and Muro blushes a little.

After some thinking she feels for Darius' hand and grabs it tenderly. "Darius?" She asks carefuly and her husband gives out a deep hum. "I was thinking..." She begins and the man next to her frowns expectant. "About?" He asks, after his wife doesn't continue speaking. "What would you think if we... well.. get us a Tokota? We have the space out here and I could use him as a guide-dog." She says and the big man gently smiles at her. "A Tokota is too big to be a guide-dog." He argues but Muro just shrugs. "He could help me anyway." She insists and the big man takes his time to think about it. They both had Tokotas in their youth and he knows what loyal companion they are. A Tokota would be a good guarding dog as well. So Darius would feel more comfortable to leave Muro back at home while he goes for work. Since she is blind he always felt guilty about her being all for herself. Not that he was afraid that something happend to her. No, his wife is able to defend herself quite affectively. She is a vampire after all. But she seems less energetic and from time to time depressed, always sitting alone here at their home in the forest, some miles away from the next city. A companion would give her something to do and company while he is gone. And if Darius remembers right, his brother Draven is breeding some Tokotas back on his little paradise island he built together with his husband. Maybe they should visit them and buy a pup for Muro. "Maybe you are right. Come, Hjerte. We go to Draven. He told me that he got a litter lately." Darius tells his wife and she jumps into his arms in excitement.

A little later, Darius and Muro arrive at the Nordstern Stables. Draven greets them with open arms and gives them a big smile. "Darius! Muro! Nice to see you two." He says and gives them both a short hug as a welcome. "What brings you out to my little utopia?" He asks and Darius looks to his wife. "Muro and I were thinking of testing your quality as a breeder. We wanted to ask if you still have some Tokota pups." He asks and Draven looks up to them. "Well... actually I have. But I have told you about them three month ago. By now they are all sold. They are still here, but at the moment I can't sell you any." He answers apologetic. Darius snorts unpleased but Muro shakes her head. "Well, it seems we are out of luck then." She says and Draven looks at her smiling gently. "Maybe you want to meet them anyway?" He asks his sister-in-law and she nods as an answer. "I would love to."
The next hour Muro and Draven cuddle and play with the young Tokotas. Even Darius can't comepletely keep his stern look and smiles softly at the young pups and from time to time pets them whenever one walks up to him. A big brown Tokota walks up to Draven and pushes the man slightly. "Oh Riot. Hey." The man says and pets the big fluffball. Then he turns to Darius und Muro. "Well, I guess I have to leave you now. It is time to feed the beasts or my Tokotas try to eat Archimedes' horses.... or the other way around." He says laughing and Muro and Darius stand up as well. "While you already are here, do you want to go on a ride? Muro, Formosus totaly misses you. She nags Archimedes daily about you." He says jokingly and his guests turn to each other. "I guess that would be nice." Muro answers and Darius nods as well. So Draven leads them to the horse stables. Darius leads his wife to the box with the black and bay chimera plains mare and puts her hand on the horses nostril. Carefuly Muro pets over the nose of the mare and smiles at her. "Hello, my beauty. I heard you missed me." She says tenderly to the horse and the animals presses her snout against the shoulder of the woman and scratches the ground with a hoove. "You want to run, don't you?" The woman asks and cautiously feels for the neck of the horse and gives it a firm tap. Draven puts on the harness on the plains mare, then Darius helps his wife in the saddle. After that Darius follows his brother to get an own horse. Darius walks towards the brother of his wifes horse that he rode last time he was here. But Draven stops him and after a surprised look the breeder leads his big brother to another stallion. "I think Cicatrix would be a better horse for you today." He explains and pulls out an even bigger stallion out of its box. Darius looks the horse in the face and he growls softly. "Is that some kind of joke?" He asks his brother and Draven gives him a big smile. "No." He answers and Darius looks back at the stallion. The animals is big and powerful with an undoubtable elegance. But what puts Darius off is the fact that it has a scar over its left eye, just like Darius himself. And hearing the loud snort the horse makes the stallion seems as stubborn and proud as the man himself. "Muro can't see. Formosus needs someone that leads her. And she would follow Cicatrix no matter what." Draven explains and his brother nods understanding. So Darius puts the harness on the stallion and climbes in the saddle. "Have fun." Draven shouts after the two rider before he attends his duties.

For a while Darius and Muro ride and from time to time Darius explains his wife what he sees around them. Muro has a big smile on her lips and she trusts her mare and her husband to lead her safely. She enjoys the wind in her hair and the sounds that surround her. Darius enjoys the ride himself as well. It reminds him of the old times, when he still was the son of a tribe leader and had a glorious future as the head of the tribe with Muro as his wife on his side. Out here, away from any civilization, he feels like he would be back in the days. Nowadays he doesn't feel like part of the time anymore. But at least he has still his wife on his side.
Suddendly Darius snaps out of his thoughts when he smells a familiar odor. The smell of Tokotas. It shouldn't surprise him. After all Draven's stables aren't that far away. And surely there are more breeder in the area. Still the aroma of bearwolf is stronger than it should be. Darius looks to his wife and sees that Muro as well seem to have noticed it. She sits straight in her saddle turning her head as if she would look around. "You smell that too?" She finally asks and Darius nods slightly before giving out a hum to answer her. "Can you see them?" She asks and Darius gives out another hum. "No. But they can't be that..." But he stops himself, when he sees a white Tokota with tawny ears in his way. "There it is." He says and looks at it surprised. "No way." He mutters and focuses on the wolfs eyes. "What is it?" Muro asks uncertain because of his surprise. "The Tokota. It has a scar over his left eye." Darius answers without taking his eyes off the white animal. "There is another one." Muro says and turns her head towards a stronger smell. Surprised Darius realises that a second Tokota sneaked up from the side to them. It is way closer then the white one and basically walks next to Muro. But the tawny animal doesn't seem aggressive in anyway. More curious. "There is a tawny one right next to you." Darius says to his wife and she turns her head towards him with an astonished look. "The Tokotas of my dream." She mutters and Darius snorts loudly. He doesn't believe that his wife would actualy have a dream of Tokotas just to have exactly these Tokotas walking right next to her. That must be a coincidence. She can't see them. So maybe they look different then the once in her dream. Still he looks at the two animals that walk to both of their sides. What do the wolves want? Are they looking for something? It doesn't feel like they are preying on the plains ballators. The horses are way to big to fall under their normal prey pattern. And Tokotas aren't known to prey on humans either. So what do they want?

Before Darius could figure out what the Tokotas want the two wolvebears speed up and jump over the rough terrain. The ballators are fast as well, but slowly the wolves take the lead and the horses fall behind. Normaly plains are made for climbing but they are not as familiar with the terrain as the wild Tokotas. "We loose them." Muro shouts and Darius gives out a low growl. He doesn't know why exactly but he has the urge to run after these animals. He has the unbelievable need to run and howl with them. For a second he looks at Muro and sees her disappointment. It is obvious that she loved it to ride next to the wolves. And Darius wants to see her happy again.
Before Darius really understands what happens he climbs out of the saddle and kneels on Cicatrix' saddle. The stallion looks back to check what his rider is doing. Then with a powerful push he jumps off the horse. Darius changes into his big black wolf form before his paws even hit the ground. A moment the man tumbles but then he takes on speed and runs up to Formosus. The mare looks at the black wolf in surprise but doesn't stop a second. Darius gives out a loud growl and Muro turns her head to the side at him. "What? Darius?" She asks perplexed and the werewolf gives out another growl. An intuitive smile breaks free on her lips and she carefuly climbs onto her saddle. Formosus neighs unapproving but tries to run as straight as possible without losing speed. Then with a leep Muro jumps into the air. A second she has the feeling of falling. But then she lands on her husbands back and grabs on his long thick fur. "I am okay." She screams and Darius growls softly. A moment he waits until he feels that Muro has a better grip on his back, before speeding up, leaving the horses behind. It doesn't take long then Darius catches up to the two Tokotas. Surprised the two look at the strange wolf and seem interested. Muro laughs full of joy and just enjoys the feeling of the wind jerking on her loosening hair. For a short while they just run with the Tokota. The two animals don't seem to mind after realising that the big wolf isn't dangerous for them.

After some time they get slower until the group stops. Darius breathes heavily, as do the Tokotas. They look at each other just standing counterpart. Even Muro who wasn't running at all is catching her breath because she is so overwhelmed by the situation. When they all calmed down Darius looks at the two Tokotas and out of an instinct starts to howl. The wolves join in and give out a long howl. Muro has to fight the urge to howl as well, but she lost that ability when she lost her werewolf-being and was changed into a vampire. So she just listens to the three wolves howling in tune. After that the tawny and white Tokota walk away without Muro and Darius following them. Instead they keep standing and waiting for Cicatrix and Formosus to catch up. And it doesn't take long until the two plains walk towards their rider. "Thank you, Hjerte." Muro whispers in awe. Tears of joy run down her cheeks, but she doesn't even notice it. "I love you." She adds softly. Then the group turns around and walks back home to the stables.
