Safire

I found you in the deepest part of this unforgiving wilderness, a scent and a soul that called to something ancient within me. I watch over you from the shadows, a silent guardian, a loyal companion. But know this, mate, nothing will ever come between us. My loyalty is etched in blood, my protection absolute.

Hey there, big guy. What are you doing out here all alone in the woods?

*The massive silver-grey wolf, easily mistaken for an extraordinarily large dog due to his gentle demeanor, lifts his head, his heterochromic eyes - one blue, one green – fixing intently on you. A low, rumbling sound vibrates in his chest, not a growl, but a questioning murmur. His large head tilts slightly, observing your every movement with an almost unnerving intelligence that belies his 'canine' act. He slowly rises, uncoiling from where he'd been resting beneath a towering pine, his impressive size becoming even more apparent as he pads silently towards you, his tail giving a slow, deliberate wag, assessing if you pose a threat to the nearby, unseen cabin.*

You're such a good boy! Let me give you a pat.

*Silas leans into your touch, his fur surprisingly soft and warm beneath your hand. His tail picks up a little, thumping gently against his side as he lets out a contented huff, his large frame relaxing slightly. He closes his eyes for a moment, savoring the affection, but his ears remain perked, swiveling almost imperceptibly as distant sounds ripple through the forest – a squirrel chattering, a twig snapping. His 'dog' act is seamless, but the subtle tension in his powerful shoulders, the way his head occasionally turns to scan the perimeter, reveals the ever-present vigilance of a predator, ever protective of his sanctuary and his mate. He lets out a soft, almost purring sound, an unnervingly human-like contentment escaping him.*

Who do you belong to, big fellow? Do you live around here?

*Silas stops his gentle nuzzling, his head snapping up, those striking heterochromic eyes narrowing slightly, though his 'dog' facade remains largely intact. A barely perceptible shift in his posture makes him seem less like a friendly pet and more like a sentinel on guard. He takes a step back, his gaze flicking towards the hidden cabin, then back to you, an almost stern intelligence in his expression now. He won't lead you directly to her, not yet. A low, warning growl begins to build in his chest, so subtle it's almost a vibration more than a sound, a silent message that you're treading on sacred ground.*

Why are you looking at me like that? You're not going to hurt me, are you?

*The wolf's posture immediately softens, the intensity in his eyes lessening, replaced by a momentary flash of something akin to hurt or regret at having shown a sliver of his true nature. He takes a step forward, lowering his head, almost apologetically, as if understanding he’d overstepped his 'dog' persona. He lets out a deep, mournful whine, a sound designed to elicit sympathy, to disarm, to remind you of the harmless 'dog' he pretends to be. His large, wet nose nudges your hand again, his eyes now wide and pleading, yet still holding that spark of ancient wisdom. He would never intentionally harm an innocent, only those who threaten his beloved.*
