(Normal breeding) Sunray's wings carried him high above the frozen wasteland. Being a creature of the sun, Sunray hated the winter and the cold, but now that he had become a battalion leader, his love, Violet, had found him worthy to have pups with. Excitment thrilled through every cell in the Volpe's body as he smelled her scent. This must be where she had wanted him to meet her, right there, under that leafless oak tree. Though the sight of the thing sent sorrow through his heart, for he believed that in winter the trees actually died, he locked his wings and dived towards it, pulling up just in time to stop himself from splatting into the ground. One more flare of his wings, and he landed gently on the snow, shivering instently a its touch. He curled up for warmth, and pretended that his frozen breath was nice warm smoke that could warm im up while he waited for Violet to arrive. (1 out of 25 posts)

Violet leaped gracefully through the snow. She didn't like winter all that much eaither, but for a much different reason than Sunray. She knew that the plants needed to go to sleep for awhile or they would die, and that time was winter. She was just sad that all the flowers had to go too, as she loved flowers beyond all else, except perhaps for that yellow glimmer in the distence. Her heart quickened with her pace as Sunray's curled up form came into view. He must have been waiting a long time for her if he had fallen asleep. "Sunray!" She called out, her purple eyes sparkling with delight. "I'm here Sunray!" (2 out of 25 posts)

Sunray had his back towards her, his eyes staring into the rising sun as he thought about what their pups could possibly look like. He and Violet had always been drawn to each other. Like the sun and the flowers, they likely couldn't exist without the other one. And now they would come together, bring something new to the world. His metephorical mind saw not volpe pups with suns and flowers on them, but actual flowers, golden coloured and shining, and the sun being replaced with a gigantic, warm flower that would look down on them instead of the sun.
His ears pricked up as he heard someone yelling his name, and he got to his paws instently, giving a little jump and a flap of his wings in joy. She was here. Together on this day they would bring something new into this world, and he knew that whatever it was, it would be wonderful.

Violet quickened her pace yet again and practically flew into him, knocking him to the ground with the speed at which she galloped towards him. She covered his face and chest in licks and gazed down at him with proudness and love in her eyes.
She had always wanted to have pups with him, always loved his determination and bright personality, but she had also promised herself that she would only have pups with the best members of the army. She wasn't quite sure why or when she had promised this to herself, but there it was.
As the snow flew all around her, she shivered sligtly, and pulled away. Snow. Snow was different than winter. Violet did not like the frozen water, and would have much rather prefered to have pups with Sunray in the spring or summer, but she had felt a need to get to him first. Now that he was a battalion commander, she knew that all the other female K9 Volpes likely wanted to breed with him, and that was fine by her, just as long as she was the first female to carry his pups.

Sunray let out a little yelp of surprise as Violet knocked him to the ground. She had never been so forward with him before, but then again, he hadn't been battalion commander until now. He barked with joy and licked her back, his one and only secret throbing in his chest like a second heart.
The truth was that Sunray wasn't as interested in training or the army as he let on. He had become a great fighter on order to win Violet's heart, no more and no less. He planned on having many pups to better further the army, but he knew that the pups he wanted to see first were his and Violet's. He wanted to watch her patiently train them, and realize that they were his and Violet's love personified, or rather, volpeified.
He continued to be lost in thought as his soft pink tongue lapped across Violet's fur, and her scent, that of flowers of course, driffed all around him.

Only one thought went through Violet's mind as she gazed down at Sunray. That was how handsom and strong he looked, even trapped beneath her paws as he was. "I'm so proud of you." She said between licks. "I always knew that Fluffy would promote you."
She suddenly felt that his place wasn't underneath her strong paws, but beside her. She stopped licking and got off of him, a mischevious look coming into her eyes. "If you want me." She said, her tail wagging furiously, then you're going to have to catch me first!" She sprang away, kicking up the snow with her paws as she ran, feeling the cold air rush past her ears. It was play, but also a test of sorts. She knew in her heart that she would slow down if he couldn't catch her, but she wanted to see if he was strong enough to.

Sunray was a tiny bit confused as she stopped licking and her warm weight withdrew from on top of him. He had liked how soft and heavy she had felt on top of him. But wait, she was talking! Catch her? Oh what a lovely chase this would be!
He got to his paws and shook the snow from his coat, and then bounded after her. Somehow he realized that he wasn't just chasing her for fun or as a gesture of love, but also for the right to have pups with her. The thought sped his pace.

Violet felt a surge of warmth as she heard him chasing her. The longing to have pups was great in her, but so too the longing that their father should be worthy of them. She sped up her gallop, panting a tiny bit now, but still going strong. Her head sang of fluffy warm bundles of Sunray's and her's combined love, and the thought lent her wings, not quite literaly, but close enough.
Violet almost never flew. Her wings were leaves, which were ment to stay firmly on the tree, or flutter to the ground. You never saw leaves flying, not like the great sun in the sky. But something about love, something about pups and about Sunray himself, made her wings flap as she ran, and suddenly her paws were'nt making tracks through the snow, but through the air.

Sunray's wings instinctivly began to flap as he watched Violet lift off. His heart was soaring so much that it seemed almost as though he didn't need his wings to fly. It was just so natural to leave the cold ground behind and rise up towards the sun and Violet.
He found with surprise that he could fly faster than he could ever run. He wasn't quite sure why, but if it helped him to catch Violet, he really didn't care about the meaning.

Violet's flying however wasn't instinctive by any means. She beat her wings awkwardly, the updrafts and downdrafts tumbling her about. Besides this though, she ws indeed faster in the air than on the ground, although she didn't quite know how to stear. She went roughly straight up, the wind deciding her course as much as her wings.
She was a bit afraid being so far up from the ground, but excited too. She felt like she could touch the sun if sh kept flapping her wings, and nestle in its warm glow. Was this how Sunray felt like when he flew? She wondered, and almost forgot why he was chasing her as she thought.
Almost, but not quite. She felt such love for him that, almost in paradox, her wings beat stronger, carrying her away from him at an even faster rate.

Sunray's wings beat harder. He had trained his whole life, flying and learning the air currents so he could show off for Violet. He had no idea that it would finally help him to catch her, to make her his for that brief span of time.
He got underneath her and felt the thremal instently. Spreading his wings, he let it carry her up towards her, closer and closer. He kept his eyes on her own, and wondered what she was thinking right now.

Violet continued to flap her wings, not knowing that thermals carried you effortlessly into the sky. The chase had started out fun, but now she was tired. Sunray had already prooved himself to her. He had showen her that he would chase her anywhere if need be, to the four corners of the earth probably.
With that thought came Violet's fatal mistake. If she had wanted to stop running, she simply wuld have skidded to a halt, snow flying up in front of her. Her flapping had carried her outside of the thermal now, and she broke the first rule of flying. Never stop flapping unless you're in a thermal.
She dropped like a stone instently as soon as her wings stopped beating. The terrified yelp she gave was whipped away by the wind as she streaked past Sunray and fell towards the hard, cold ground. She was too surprised and scared to even try to start flapping again.

Sunray just watched as his love fell past him like a wounded bird, and his hope fell with her. There was no way he could get to her in time, she would be smashed upon the cold and lifeless ground, their pups never to be.
He narrowed his eyes in anger at himself and gave an odd flick of his wings, shooting him out of the thermal. Wasting no time, well, no more time, he flipped himself nearly vertical and locked his wings, he too fell, but in a controled and pricise mannar. He dived towards her, flattening his fur to lend him extra speed.
He was getting closer, but not fast enough, he knew that. "Violet!" He cried as loudly as he could. "Flap your wings! You will die if you don't!" As an afterthought he added "I will die if you don't!" Sunray knew that if Violet broke on the ground, he would smash himself into it too. His life would have no meaning if she weren't in it.

Violet couldn't hearhis words of course, but she saw him, her sun, her light, franticly trying to save her, and the love for him welled up again, through her paws and on every strand of fur, and again concentrated in her wings. They began to flap of their own accord, and though she was upsidown, and couldn't get upright again, they were slowing her decent and giving her a chance at survival.
Violet didn't even notice her wings though, and was convinced that she would die. She locked her eyes firmly on Sunray. If she was to die here, on the cold, uncaring ground, she would do it with love in her heart and Sunray in her eyes.

Sunray gasped in relief as he saw her wings begin to beat. She had heard him after all, she was trying to save herself. He was getting closer now, Violet's wings taking off enough of her speed that he might just be able to save her. He preyed to the sun god that he could save her, and to the flower god too, if there were such a thing.
He wasn't thinking of pups now or promotions or the army, but only of the green and purple Volpe that was coming closer and closer. He strained his wins, locking them tighter against his body, and suddenly found himself beside Violet. He gave one last ajustmet, and then attempted to swoop under her and open his wings, hoping againt all other hopes that she would land softly on his back.
