It was early morning, the sun hadn't fully risen yet. Amy padded across the clearing to where Killian was sitting. "so...how is he doing?" he asked slowly. "he's in and out of consciousness at the moment." amy sighed. "so how exactly did....THIS happen..." he said after a moment. "well...dawnray said she suspected he simply tripped over his own paws." amy sighed. Amy spoke again before he could respond "although...I..I don't believe that...I mean...its true he's old and well his eyesight is deteriorating but- that just means he's more careful and he goes on walks at night ALOT even if he cant see he still knows this territory like his paws- so remind me how...he can...*accidently* fall of a small cliff- a CLIFF killian- A CLIFF a fu- "ok ok ok I get the point- also how did you go from deteriorating eyesight to blind in one sentance??- perhaps your exaggerating a tad...but anyway you are right about it seeming suspicous- do you think maybe one of the other potential heirs might have tried to take him out?" he said dipping his head to the side. "yes....deffintly not whisper- or cool guy...or even fremlin...so that leaves...- "nic" the two sighed at the same time. "why!? why does he even want to be lead this badly??" Amy sighed in exasperation as she slouched against him. "beats me- maybe he- "ahem" midnight coughed very unpolitely as he trotted over. Midnight shoving himself down between the too. "hello hello- were talking bout nic right?- yes yes you know he's very gloom and doom so I'm surprised its taken you this long to figure everything out- " midnight snorted judgementally. "please remind me why I ever liked you" Amy sighed. Killian glared at him "congragulations you've evolved from annoyingly curious to full on narcissist- but I suppose it could be worse...anyway...yes we are and...we've suspected for a while but- he never did anything dangerous so...why confront him- he could've easily been overly ambitous weirdo-" he shrugged. "hmf well all I know is he tried and almost succseeded in eliminating me- thankfully your annoying spawn saved- "wait wait- back up- he went after you-" Killian said staring at midnight. Midnight nodded "yea..." he then tilted his head upward and pawed at his neck fur- Killian and Amy stared at at partially healed gash. "wow- I- wait I thought you cant get hurt-" Amy said in a quiet voice. "well...so did I...apprently nic isn't a normal wolf- about 2 weeks ago I was doing my normal routine of chilling by the lake side- to put a long story short I encountered nic who...attacked me- I I- I had to defend myself so I fought back- but I..I was a pacifist- and I still aim to be one..so..I...I couldn't finish the fight...I didn't want to be divide- so I loosened my grip on him- he flipped me and....held me down...it was over- until...met, Kenny, and their friends saw this scenario- They came up with something so weird that nic got distracted- I managed to rip myself free! nic somehow didn't notice- he was mumbling something a fire hydrants...any way I got free! though... not without injury...anyway met and Kenny helped me back to camp." midnight finished taking in a breath of air. "that's nice and all but- WHY DIDNT THEY TELL US ABOUT THIS" Killian growled lowly. "because they know you'd bite off there ears for not being heroic enough or somthing stupid" Amy sighed completely serious |

"ok ok visiting times over- scram, SCRAM" reed barked at the last of the scraggling visitors."bu- "he'll be fine! he's made it this long now- please GO" he snapped at the wolves. "finally some peace and quiet- no more stupid wolves with even stupider questions- I'm going to go nap in my dark corner" reed yawned as he walked away from the entrance. "reeeeeeeeeeed" dawnray whined. "dawnray unless you are in the process of dieing please leave me alone- go make sure grizz is still breathing or something."reed said as he continued walking "well I was just going to say..do you really think he'll get better?" dawnray said in a mildly hopeful tone. Reed looked straight at her "no- "so why did you tell all our pack members he'll be fine?" dawnray blinked. He sighed and sat down "things like this are among the many many reasons I never wanted pups- its called a lie dawnray, sometimes you have to lie t- "but why couldn't you just tell them he might not get better? Isn't the truth always the answer?" dawnray blinked tilting her head. Reed flopped sideways onto the ground "ugh, dawnray that's just a quote you took from qaurtz, he never really cared for my spotty morals.."reed said trailing off. After a few moments he re-gathered himself and sat up "listen, you set out on the path of being a healer....its not a path of sunshine and rainbows- its a dark path it tests you.....eventually you learn to take the pain- but other wolves...they...they don't know the pain, they cant handle it....it breaks them, one thing you learn is...you have no power- no matter what you think no matter how hard you try sometimes they just....dawnray- do you know how many wolves I've seen..." reed's voice trails off. dawnray dips her head and looks at her paws "no..." "for some its sudden- painless....and for some its more prolonged- but other wolves- they cant handle these sorts of things. Therefore its better not to force them to understand, its better in theese scenarios to....not really lie just....give them hope...." he shrugged. "so...false hope....so...lies..."dawnray clarified. "technicly....but anyway its for the best- plus not all our pack members are trustworthy we don't need anybody getting any ideas....as long as grizz is alive he's our leader- and until he chooses an offical heir....it shall stay that way." reed barked. 'but what if....- "in that scenario its up to a close relative doesn't have to be blood to choose a fitting heir- now mind you that relative isn't eligible to choose themself- now if the lead doesn't have a relative the healers pick- neither are the healers able to choose themselves...this leaves a pawful of decent choices...' reed shrugged. "like....who?" "hmmm Amy is the rela- 'huh" dawnray blinked. "Amy is reed's adopted daughter meaning she isn't eligible to be lead- unless grizz picks her while he's still alive, now some other good candidates would be Killian and cool guy- oh and perhaps acid. Killian as much as I hate to admit...is arguably one of the smartest wolves I've ever met- now mind you I think his ego is a tad to big but...whatever- cool guy is level headed and fair- oh and acid...he's a yearling- but he's pretty smart and a fast learner....he also has some keen judgement." reed said deep in thought. Dawnray flicked an ear "somthing tells me you have alot on your mind..." dawnray said tilting her head. "I- I have this weird feeling- like something bad is going to happen- I...I don't know what though....The other day I had an odd dream... I- I saw qaurtz- and my father sun and florafur the tribes first herbalist- my grandma- and They they were speaking- but...I couldn't hear them- they stood around me- all trying to say something....It felt important but... I couldn't hear- it felt real- I had another dream yesterday-" reed paused and took a breath "this one was- REALLY weird....there was a bear and it was standing in a pond- and it was...on fire- and then it jumped out of the puddle onto the land and- it was struck by a lightning bolt- and then...I woke up-" reed panted. "that all sounds....concerning- maybe we should tell someone...?" dawnray said slowly. Reed shook his head trying to regain his breath "n- no we...don't know who to trust-" he gasped. |

"I'm fine- its fine, I'm okay now and that's what counts" grizz said as he went back to attempting to eat his breakfast. "all I'm saying...is.....are you really sure that's your best judgement...I mean- as your healer AND adviso- "I thought Killian was advisor- you know since he's smarter than you." grizz said blinking. Reed began to feel offended but then reminded himself grizz was old....when wolve- and dogs get old they get...blunt...cranky...overly opinionated...ok and maybe a tad wiser but- still. "well I mean...YEAHH but I'm your healer an- "what's this about me being smart?" Killian said pausing Infront of the two of them wagging his tail- he clearly was soaking up the validation. "oh I was just telling reed how stupid he is!" grizz said laughing. Killian flashed reed a sympathetic look and sat down. "oh- and also I was assuring reed that I'm fine- you said yourself I'm in good health!" he barked at reed. Reed gulped grizz started at him thoughtfully while Killian was giving reed a cold glare. "right....oh yeah just remembered why I came over here- whilst scouting Peine D'amour said he met this weird charecter- a bright pink guy- bird name I think? dove or swan somthing- anyway they said they knew you??anywho their by the mountain border near the old caves- "oh I do know them!" grizz said estatic as he leaped to his paws and sprinted off. "you sure its....safe" reed sighed as grizz disappeared. Reed glanced over at Killian "that was a load of elk- a bright pink wolf named after a bird-" reed said staring. Killian shrugged "actually I'm not kidding- even I cant come up with something that....odd" reed blinked at him. "SO...remind me why the guy who was unconscious yesterday...and the past week is now walking around because...let me get my details right....the healer said they were completely fine...he cant even eat" Killian growled in a low tone as he pointed his snout to the nibbled on wolf leg. "your concern is...well placed bu- "look...ok.. I TRY TRY to like you- but I'm seriously struggling to find reasons not to attack you right now..."Killian spat at him. "look- I'm TRYING as well- " catching the look that flashed across Killian's eyes he rephrased "well- I don't- I'm not going to attack you....I...Im just saying that somtimes...you need hope- " reed shrugged, Killian gave him an unconvinced glare. reed paused looking around. "he's not going to get better...telling him to eat...it was a test to see IF he can eat- he managed to get down a few nibbles but then kind of just chewed at it without swallowing- I think he's not letting on about pain- its incredibly possible that that fall did some internal damage...meaning...he could have ripped something or something could be bleeding or- I- I don't know....since he's awake and on some herbs that help with the outer pains like the gashes but..."reed said quietly dipping his head. "has it occurred to you that...oh I don't know...YOU.SHOULD.TELL.HIS.FAMILY..."Killian growled quietly. It suddenly occurred to reed that Killian was reffering to amy- sweet sentiment but did he really have to take out this on reed?? "I get it I get it- but....I don't feel its safe to reveal how fragile grizz is." reed said hesitantly. Reed had always had a tiny bit of resentment towards killian- for multiple factors...but reed knew he was...despite reed's personal opinions...a decent wolf...perhaps he would be the perfect wolf to confinde in. "you....have a point but...I don't think Amy would go around telling everybody..."Killian says slowly. "well yeah but....she does sleep talk and also talk to herself so......someone could overhear somthing- "overhear?? what y'all gossiping- what about??? THEY ARE GOSSIPING" met barked loudly. All the wolves on the other side of the clearing looked up from their breakfest. ".....excuse me whilst I skin them..." Killian said non-chalently. "yipes-" met said sprinting away. |

Met sat beside grizz with his head on his paws. "its just...." met snuffed. "hm well if you feel that way why don't you go tell them?" grizz sighed "or else they'll keep doing...well...that." grizz barked roughly pointing a paw at kenny and shadowy demise who fixed met with looks of pity. "I cant-" met growled frustrated. "hmf- perhaps things have changed since I was young- but I always thought your supposed to tell someone you feel hurt, appoligies, yaddayada and move on" grizz said flicking an ear. Met sank onto the ground "how about you go talk to Killian? he is your dad- "no no NO- he is not relatble at all- " met interrupted. "ugh fine- say you wanna share this- while we talk" grizz said nudging his lunch towards met, it was a rather appetizing shoulder blade...mmm- met restrained himself, "shouldn't you eat some more....to keep your strength up?" met said not taking his eyes off it. "pft- I've had plenty, I'm full" grizz declared. Met blinked, he could've sworn he'd only seen grizz take two bites...but...if he said he was full...he was full..met lunged for the sizeable chunk and dug in. "so back to it, you've always liked shadowy- and she liked you too.... and then...you wanted to be official and then...she didn't...but then a few days later she announces she thinks, she is having pups! whoose father is most likely Kenny. and Kenny feels a bit bad- and has been extra nice to you lately" grizz sighed. "well.....he shou- "perhaps you should just move on...pursuing this seems like a hopeless love triangle/ third wheel situation....first things first you should go and talk to th- "why there nothing to me- both of them" met snarked lifting his head up. "bu- met got up and trotted off before grizz could finish. He padded over to where Kenny and shadowy where. Shadowy didn't meet his eyes "hey" she sighed, Kenny looked at met brightly "hi hi- did you hear the news!" Kenny yipped. Met nodded silently "I cant say I'm happy for you- you know Amy always says speak your mind.. so I'm going to do that...I am not happy, I hate you shadowy- I feel betrayed, and kenny- how could you? really- this is low." met whined. He padded off in silence and shadowy and Kenny didn't respond. Met needed to clear his head, he was close to the camp exit. Then he heard a faint whisper from behind him "why is he so whiny-" "no idea shadowy- met is a bit like a mouse, whiny, beety eyed, and squeaky, oh and a nuisance- he's always been an annoying as- met blocked out the last bit as he sped up his walk. |

Grizz padded silently through the forest carefully trotting over sharp rocks. He trotted quickly, he felt drawn by some outside force. Every now and then he would hear an echo of his own name. He came to a shadowy clearning and glanced around. "grizz" said a soft yet commanding voice from across the clearing. "q- qaurtzeye!?" grizz sprinted towards him like an overly excited pup. He stopped just short to avoid crashing into him. During life qaurtzeye and grizz had had an interesting relationship he was not a stranger, but he also wasn't qaurtzeye's son. "I have come to warn you- I was not sent....the afterlife is currently in....a situation....mud advised against anybody visiting the mortals since he cant garunteed our safety- even in dreams.." qaurtzeye sighed glancing around nervously. "but you- "I know I know- but at the moment things aren't normal....were being hunted grizz- you must be careful. Don't trust nic."qaurtzeye said solemnly. "huh- he's a nice guy though."grizz barked simply. "n- actually you'll figure it out eventually- good luck" qaurtzeye said turning and padding off. "hey wait- the rest of his words faded into nothingness as he began to wake up. |

(Peine D'amour means heart-breaker ) Met and Peine D'amour trotted along the border. Met was still new to the whole scouting thing- so till he got more familiar with the role he and a Peine D'amour were scouting partners. After getting frustrated with met's inability to say his name- Peine D'amour had agreed to being called Heart. "so- how long have you be scouting,heart?" met said breaking the silence. "mmm....since I was a yearling, I think" heart said after a while. "cool- er is it supposed to be this warm?" met barked. Met had a thick coat- just like all the other wolves- so naturally all this heat was uncomfortable...he couldn't possibly fathom how his ancestors lived in the desert- like seriously NO snow- howwww?? "...no....its pretty late in winter and the sun is still bright and we haven't seen a single flake of snow..." heart sighed partially confused. "maybe.... "you better not be about to ramble on about some conspiracy- Amy was bad enough- I don't need another theorist." heart sighed. "still....somethings off"met insisted |

"no,no,no- why didn't you do anything!" amy hissed at dawnray. "I- I dont know what you expected me to- "leave her out of this" reed sighed stepping between the two. "This was going to happen eventu- "HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT MAYBE IF- "can we atleast try to listen to them." Killian interrupted softly. Amy gave a cool look; she then took a deep breath and sat down. "er thanks Killian..um- oh yeah right- so grizz he...was already considerably weak since he hasn't eaten in a while and....still....perhaps it was against my best judgement to leave my trainee who has never dealt with this sort of situation alone while I go collect herbs- after I promised I wouldn't leave and said I'd simply send a yearling out for herbs. Its...not dawnrays fault- besides she found him like that! what is she to do??" reed sighed. Dawnray's gaze glanced upwards to grizz's den. Amy stared blankly in no apparent direction. "also...the other night he was kind of twitchy in his sleep- mumbling...odd things...nothing...helpful- meaning it Is my duty to choose a leader- well sortof- anywho Amy your leader" reed shrugged. (Two days after grizz died) Killian dragged the nest to a different spot in the den "this good?" "no". He frowned moving it to a different spot "is- "no" . He sighed moving it into a corner "how ab- "no". He tilted his head back and groaned agonizingly "look- it just doesn't feel right- everything has been happening too fast, it just doesn't feel like I'm leader...of....anything really"she sighed flopping on the ground. "ouch- ok maybe I shouldn't dramatically fall on stone but anyway....*sigh*" she sighed. Killian sat down across from her "I....get it, but the pack needs you!" he whined "no- the pack needs you! or maybe cool guy- possibly whisper" Amy retorted. "I recall something about the leader having to be related either bio or adopted to the previous lead- so cool guy isn't an option....all that leaves are our pups, who.....no- offence or anything took all of our worst traits..." he sighs. "yup, met is smart...but sensitive and easily discouraged, tuna and chippy are impulsive and over excited, floundy and sturgeon...don't think.."Amy sighed miserably. "whisper is overly confident, Kenny has a bit too much ego- thinks nobody can see through his nice guy mask, and lil mackerel- I think he is developing a cold personality- he doesn't try to talk that cute gibberish like his littermates he just...watches.....- and occasionally growls" Killian shrugs. "hmm....reminds me of someone....hmmm" Amy said sarcastically. "oi- I'm talking to you aren't I." he countered. "mhmmmm" Amy sounded. "look I have my own problem sometimes" he snapped turning away. "right, right-" she sighed. Just then fremlin padded inside and paused, sensing the atmosphere. "um...am I interu- "no" Amy and Killian said in sync. He nodded "right- so no signs of nic...anywhere....and the temperature is rising...again...and" fremlin paused shaking out his fur. "and..." Killian began. "and......a bush spontaneously combusted on the mountain's far side." fremlin said only half believing it himself. "please excuse my laungage- what the actual fu- (2 weeks later) "whatcha going to do- cry, its all you ever do" dash snarked. Tuna squeaked in rage "He never cries- he's blue! he just looks like th- "shuuuut uppp" dash groaned. "Look- if you don't leave us alone I- I'll....uh...call my mom!!" sturgeon said stepping Infront of mackerel'o. "that is all you ever do! and anyway- you started it! You made fun of my friend!" dash declared loudly. Kip lowered his head "Its...fine..I forgav- "NO NO YOU DIDEN- "bu- " I CANT HEAR YOU" Dash barked loudly. Kip sighed. "what is going on here..." a deflated voice called from nearby. Everyone froze instantly recognizing the voice "sorry ki- oh- false alarm its met!" Chippy yipped. None of the pups respected met- mostly because none of the adults respected met. "what...were y'all doing- your making a lot of noise..." he groaned. "mackerolo made fun o' me cuas I gots a strange voice." kip said shyly. "hmf well I don't see how or why- mackerel'o cant even talk..." met sighed. "yea he can" tuna said bluntly. Met blinked "uh no he cant." I can talk, I just cant TALK. a sharp voice said from somewhere nearby. Met blinked looking for the voice's owner over here! the voice snapped demanding his compliance. He blinked at met "you...aren't moving you mouth.."met said struggling to close his mouth. SOOOO observant The sharp voice snarked. The voice reminded him of his own voice- which reminded him of killian's voice. This voice was sharp and snappy, a bit like a impatient adol; Killian's voice was deep, but also soft- though...in a menacing cant tell his thoughts kind of way...he also had cold eyes which didn't help- he couldn't remember the last time he had ever heard him be...nice-; met's voice was strikingly similar- but...more..trustworthy it didn't have that...edge to it, he also had his father's eyes though as Amy had told him before "your...just like your father, just....two different versions- part of the reason he resents you is he sees too much of himself- the carefree, giving, loving side, he just doesn't want you getting hurt! he's been through things" to which met responded something like "really- giving- carefree???" met was convinced his dad simply needed someone to hate. Met blinked- he had gotten wrapped in memories...again- all the pups had scattered except mackerl'o and kip. heloooo earth to met the voice snapped. He blinked "oh er right- mackerl'o you ha- telepathy the voice interrupted. "yeah that- can yo- nope, pretty sure my vocal cords are botched- not anybody's fault just bad genetics I think- macherl'o sighed. "also...why's your voice so- old? hmf- with enough mind power you can do ANYYYTHING- manipulating what I sound like is a perk of having magic . Met blinked "how.. do I keep knowing what your going to say? I can read the minds of blood relatives- freaky huh? oh and could you stop thinking about those wolves you met the other day- Im a pup and I kind of cant close my ears to your...fantasies... "oh er- hold on...that better??" met asked tentatively "what's he thinking??" met whispered eagerly pointing to Kenny with his nose. he's wondering why your hiding in a bush... mackerl'o sighed. Met blinked realizing it was pretty weird since the bush only hid his head. "okay..what's he thinking now...." "I'm craving fox today.." mackerl'o chimed. Kenny then disappeared out of camp. "your awesome- oi what's acid doing-" met said his attention darting to dawnray and acid chatting quietly outside the healing cavern. their not related I cant read th- MET WE TALKED ABOUT THIS Mackerl'o screamed into met's eardrums. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO GROSS MET Mackerl'o bellowed. "IM NOT" Met screamed. Met froze- The entire camp stared at him. He turned to the healing cavern. Dawnray sat alone acid had fled to the other side of camp and watched intently. "I..um.." Met said quietly. STOP Mackerl'o yelled again. "I DID" met yelled back. N- No not you- AHH- so much...blood- everywhere wh- AHH Mackerl'o screamed shrilly before fading out. His ears picked up a sound through the crowd's whispers..coughing. Met turned around spotting mackerl'o hacking and convlusing on the ground. Met ran over and crouched beside the small pup. "he- he cant breathe!" met yelled. Everyone stared "DO SOMETHING" He barked. Reed and dawnray rushed over and carefully grabbed the pup and rushed him off to the cavern. (roughly 2 hours later) Met sat in the corner of the main cavern, watching dawnray mix a strange medicine- or well probobly a regular one that met just didn't recognize. Amy had showed up a few times prodding at the pup and asking how he would turn out, then she left. Met had decided to stay so when he woke up he could have someone to talk to till he got out the cavern. Reed had diagnosed mackerl'o with several conditions- all of which too lengthy to remember. He suddenly felt claustrophobic- probobly because acid had creeped up beside dawnray and was now whispering about who knows what- no..he couldn't think like that at least...not directly next to mackerel'o- even if he was unconscious. Met trotted out the cavern |

Bolded sections are by murra dire wolpard Killian trotted ahead with the others trotting behind him. "ok everybody- SMILES- oki! we don't want to look intimidating!" Killian barked. "do we have to smile..."fremlin groaned. "hm...no...you'd probobly look more threatning- anyway-" Killian shrugged. Met repetivly said "are we there yet" over and over till they reached the border. "ok- everybody sit." Killian sighed. Met, fremlin, and cool guy all sat down. "oh- one question...um why is makerelo on your head." cool guy said casually as they waited. "hm? oh well he jumped on my head and bit down- Amy got mad when I tried to shake him off so....now I just have a puppy latched to my ear...its...very painful if anything." Killian sighed. "its hot out here I'm hot- my fur is melting and stuff " met whined. "be patient.." cool guy growled as they all sat and waited on a patrol. To The group on the edge of Storme Pack territory, what they were about to witness might actually be considered confusing at first, then perhaps lucky. The first obvious sign anything had even noticed them was a sharp barking noise, followed by, 'This is why I suggested you should be a Pupsitter, Bean...barking is loud, loud alerts things to your presence...', this voice had a different type of accent then what was usually heard from Storme Pack, instead of Irish, this 'wolf' sounded Dutch. 'She is nervous, you know how she gets.', said another Dutch voice, followed by some mumbling. 'You are sure, Bean?' the first voice asked, seeming much more alert. Then there was a pounding of paws, 'I said I smell a group from the Mountain with a Pup! Come on, come on, I wanna see the puppy, I wanna play!' came finally an Irish sounding female voice. Three wolves burst into sight, Two larger than the third, the largest was dark furred with brown eyes, then there was a Fox colored one, and a lighter black and grey wolf with purple eyes. She was clearly female, and her eyes lit on Killian's 'hat', and she padded forward and got right in his space to study the puppy. 'Look, Lucca...this one is being an hat!' she trilled, attempting to touch the pup's teeth. 'Come on, don't you want to get off of there?' Lucca asked the pup, also approaching...'Okay, and as date has de-railed, what is being an problem with you guys?', Darius asked the group sitting before them. Mackerel growled; Killian dipped his head gently to the wolves "greetings, Im Killian co-leader of the tribe that lives up in the mountains." he says turning his head to point. "these are 3 of my pack members, coolguy, met, and fremlin. oh and- the pup clinging to my head is my youngest son mackerel- he doesn't speak so and attempts to reason with him end in him biting or growling..." Killian sighed, before anyone could interrupt he began again "well- he doesn't talk yet- he probobly can talk- well I know he'll talk- when he's....ready...I think- I know." Killian stuttered. The wolves behind him all blinked, they had never seen him...out of his element like that. "Right...anyway...we came here to inquire about...several things....has storme pack seen any....odd weather lately?" Darius looked thoughtful, Lucca sat and gestured at the literal lack of snow starting at a specific area and heading back from wence this group with Killian in it had come and Murra...she flashed her teeth at the pup and growled. Then she started singing in a way that could only be described as matching how she may have heard Adols singing. 'I've been waiting... I've been waiting for this moment...all my life. But it's not quite right...', she sang, dancing around Lucca and Darius. 'Oh heck with the...Bean! The pup isn't going to dance with you! Can we focus please?', Darius asked her, sighing as she tucked herself against him in response. 'There, now. The weather actually Isn't the issue here, just something being affected. What have you noticed that can point at a general issue? Perhaps fires? Perhaps, some wolves that are missing could have gone investigating? Obviously checking it out isn't the best idea. Sit and think. What makes sense? What can maybe make sense?', as he asked he could see eyes growing focused and he nodded. 'Problem is, whenever you gain a problem that has too many confusing elements, you can lose focus, or focus on the wrong things. This actually is an exploitable weakness.', Lucca calmly chimed in. Murra flicked an ear towards the mountains, 'Problem is, your very easily defended camp is also very vulnerable. Mountain paths and caves and forests, deep ravines, dangerous rivers. An excellent set up, in concept...but your safe zone is also a trap. Easily.', Murra informed them. "well....most of those hazards are traps for anyone passing through the territory- all us hunters know where all the abrupt cliffs and wolf-made pitfalls are- so naturally we tell the others where to avoid...; were also expert climbers- well not everybody...the nursing mothers, pups, and young adols cant climb...or swim. Though most of the rivers are...really dangerous regardless of swimming ability...typically ending in massive waterfalls... or if your lucky enough the rapids shred you." fremlin sighed grimly. "yes...and as a scout I can confirm most of those dangers are more close too the borders, this border with storme pack for instance...about 200 steps behind us a decent ways up from the treeline is a pitfall covered by a thin moss layer- its about a 8ft drop, you wouldn't go splat...you'd just have your neck snapped... 20 ft away from that is a random sinkhole...along the border with the grasslands is a river...it starts in the mountain and then waterfalls down a sheer cliff and seperates the land...yikes....the northern border against conifer forest is littered with hunters.." met sighed. "unfourtantly when the tribe was founded it was supposed to be....our sanctuary- we kind of aren't meant to leave so if we ever need to evacuate....were kind of trapped- also our missing packmates disappeared long before all this trouble arised- speaking of which...has anybody seen a unusual wolf, jet black white stripe, color changing eyes, literal wings, does lots of apocalypse talk-" Killian paused and winced as mackerel gnawed on his other ear, "anyway- seen him?" The three sat exchanging looks, clearly not impressed that these wolves would both acknowledge and shrug off the 'you live in a death trap and you're worrying about some Weather?' statement. At the mention of the particular missing wolf, however, if one of them looked carefully they might have seen Darius's eyes flash red before shading back to dark brown, Lucca's fur shivered at the same time and Murra had a slight shift in the purple shade of her eyes. 'That...is not a wolf. Specifically not 'a' anything...have not a clue what they are, but we know something like that is not ever the singular.', Darius decided this though vague was the best response. Murra pointed to the pup, 'Perhaps it could be they're a chew toy for him? Nah, I'm joking...but one as fierce as that pup is far safer near the menace you've lost track of, then anyone who may think themselves strong enough or brave enough or wise enough or immortal enough.', she added. "UGHHHHH why is everything so harddd- not only is stuff randomly catching fire we have a legit monster on the loose AGGHGHHH- "met" cool guy sighed "A MO- "met" fremlin growled "Oi- I "MET" Killian snarled. Met snuffed and turned away. "essentially were all do- "METT" the fremlinl, cool guy, and Killian said in unison. "as soon as we get home...met your going in the shame pit- anywho..." Killian sighed regaining his focus. "we should be heading back now....before Amy assumes met got us all killed- oooh right- that's one of the other reasons- we have a new leader now! its complicated....but anyway we'll be off! and also- be careful! fremlin and met forgot to mention there's a acid pit over there" he says pointing a paw. "its exactly what it sounds like- a pit...of acid! highly corrosive- " Killian shrugged. The three eye the group as if unphased by the mention of and acid pit, and then Murra grins at the group, 'Yeah, don't know about most wolves but we can smell all your traps... it's how come we don't get hurt when we visit or when we check your territory for things.' she mentioned as casually as if they regularly explored there. 'We meaning Storme Pack, in general...though it's been awhile. You might have noticed there's dating going on everywhere lately.' She added at a look from Lucca. Killian and cool guy nodded. "YAAA- you know I myself have been VERY interested in all of that."met said slowly as he got uncomfortably close to Murra and the others. Fremlin yanked him backwards by his tail. "none of that"fremlin sighed. "oi- you get all the attention!" met barked "well I mean I'm stronger, faster, cooler, less annoying..."fremlin sighed. "OI my momma said I was SPECIAL" met spat. "not in a good way...." Killian interupted. He then got to his paws "welp, we best be off before met gets anymore absurd ideas...seriously..anywho good day~" Killian said with a nod padding back towards the mountains. Cool guy followed instantly. Met lagged behind, "contact m- "MET " fremlin said shoving him forward. "sorry- he's....um...just excuse him he cant help he's annoying. Were not all like him.....his mom's eccentric and his dad is know it all- enjoy your...well its not really afternoon anymore- more like dusk" fremlin shrugged and dipped his head to the trio before sprinting to catch up with the packmates. At the unwanted approach, Murra backed up until she couldn't, and Darius in response pulled her beneath him until only her nose could be seen. No warning would be needed, he knew, hiding her would make his point. Lucca, meanwhile, weaved slightly in front of Darius, just enough that to even attempt another approach at Murra would mean risking unwanted teeth in the face from both Lucca and Darius. 'Watch it, mountain wolf... she's not to be touched...', Lucca warned musically, as the three watched the retreat of the group. As Met was being noisier and more distracting, Lucca slipped from beside Darius and watched the area around the group as they were retreating. Something smelled...off. 'Hey, Killian...not to distract you from your journey but...take a different path.', Lucca said lightly, and with that, the three Storme Pack wolves headed off talking about what to do to restart their Date. 'Too late too swim, too early for bat watching...', Murra was commenting. |

Met sat in the back of the crowd listening intently; Amy had been leader for a little while now and had decided to adjust some rules. "okay...lets begin today I wanted to talk to you about rule changes!! First of all...no more coyote hunting! Overtime this pack has accepted loads of different canines into it....coyotes, foxes, dogs..and since not everyone can magically change species.." Amy paused to glance at Killian. Met blinked, he never really stopped to think about that- those odd stories about his dad once being a fox, he asked whisper about it once. Whisper simply shrugged and confirmed it was true but he didn't know how he just...wasn't a fox one-day. It was essentialy the tribe's unsolved mystery. Amy interrupted met's thoughts "anyway...my point, we shouldn't hunt them- well unless their being a real nuisance...anywho Iv been thinking.....about..an heir! Yes, I just became leader but....I'm not exactly a yearling myself so...Ill announce who I've chosen some other time though- I'm indecisive. oh- and moving onto the next rule..nobody is allowed to call me old!- "ehem" "oh or killian old, failure to comply with this rule will get you in the shame pit for a week depending on how many times you called me or him old, this is a very necessary rule." Amy barked solemnly. "ehem" "oh right almost forgot- in order to feed your new king's ego you are required to include at least one compliment in every conversation you have with him- I myself am exempted from this rule since he can be an a-hole and I must exert dominance...but yeah failure for yall to do that is a day in the shame pit." Amy barked "that's all y'all are dismissed" she barked |

"ok you two play nice!" acid yipped leaving the adols in the clearing. "so...were supposed socialize" kip said nervously. EmoWalker fixed him with a dead stare. "er...ok- hi! my name is kip!" kip barked. "EmoWalker" EmoWalker said dryly staring at kip. "uhhh-..." "that's my NAME" EmoWalker said stiffly. "Oh- that's...cool heh heh" kip whined with a nervous smile. Kip calmed himself "so...is it true?" kip whispered. "what" EmoWalker growled. KIp took a few paces back and sat down, "that...you broke whisper's leg!?" kip said in awe. "...yeah, I was travelling through the mountains since I intentionally wanted to go to the rainforest and live but...I got attacked by one of your hunting parties" EmoWalker sighed "It was his own fault thinking because I'm an adol he could take me down easy- I fight well, my dad taught me how to fight- well...when he had the time." EmoWalker shrugged. "thats- so COOL, hunters are quite literally trained to...well...you know- and you seriously injured one! that's so cool- your so strong!" kip yipped. "you thin- yeah..I am pretty strong, and besides your hunters are pretty weak" EmoWalker said smugly. Kip shrugged "eh typically they use distraction and traps to get the prey in a easy spot for ambush." Kip shrugged. "yeah well...I'm pretty smart so..." EmoWalker smiled. |
