Marbled -Agate

Swift and Agate met when Agate, still a new leader was patrolling his territory, looking for any possible threats for the pack, followed by his dove, Aiki. He soon picked up a scent, a hare, and hungry he decided to follow it. Walking low, hidden by bushes and guided by Aiki he slowly got closer to the hare, he was some steps away from his snack when out of nowhere a fox attacked the hare, stealing his prey. Agate jumped, landing on the fox and grabbing it by its neck but the fox struggled and managed to get free running away with the hare in his mouth. Agate could not sopport someone stealing his food. Chasing the fox was difficult, it was fast and agile, and clearly knew the territory better than Agate, but Agate was smarter, he sprinted, moving to the left forcing the fox to change direction and soon the fox found himself at a dead end, the path blocked by a huge rock and Agate just behind him. The fox, having nothing else to, do dropped the hare bowing and whining to the wolf, hoping that his life would be spared. Now Agate had time to look at it well: it was smaller than other foxes and had a unusual brown very short fur, and a long slim tail, he had never seen such a strange fox, and for sure it wasn't a animal that lived in that biome. The fox was also fatter than every other fox Agate has ever seen, apparently, it did not have any problem looking for food: maybe he was a very good hunter or perhaps he was a very lucky fox. Usually Agate would've killed an intruder like that already, even if its meat was of no use, Agate did not sopport thieves, so that fox should've been dead already but Agate saw in him something special. Noticing that the wolf was unsure, the fox used the moment to speak: he started pleading for his life asking to le wolf to let him go. It did no effect on him so the fox tried to offer him a deal instead: he would hunt hares for him everyday, only if he spared his life and let him live in his territory. Agate was deciding the fox's fate he was about to chose to just end the fox's life and leave. His dove, Aiki, had been watching everything from a tall branch, he flew down, landing on Agate's head, whispering on his ear about what he tought: he too found the fox had somehing special. Agate offered him another deal, the fox was agile and knew the territory well, with his help they would've been able to hunt bigger prey, buying the fox's loyalty in exchange for sparing his life, of course he accepted. At first both Agate and Swift still didn't trust each other and together only hunt rabbit or other small prey, but their trust and skill grew with time hunting toghter Aiki, Swift and Agate: the eyes, the brain and the strength, even tought Agate was not a hunter anymore since he became leader he was still one of best hunters, and if befor the food they hunted was mostly only food for them three now they were able to locate very large prey, bulls, even, for the hunters of the pack to hunt down.
