Ace

It was winter time. This was one time of the year that Ace hated the most. You see, he didn't have some warm house to live in or anything like that. He was born a stray. His siblings had been mainly born with thicker coats, but Ace had been born with the short sleek coat his father had possessed. He appeared to be a mixture of Pit Bull and Great Dane, though there were many more breeds in his lineage. One good thing about being born in the valley was that he knew where to go to keep warm. The best place he knew of was the Ashen Domes. So, he moved towards the area, the bitterly cold wind passing straight through his short coat and chilling him as he moved. Soon he was there. The warmth of the volcanic area was welcome to him as he moved carefully to his favorite spot and sat down...

Abe Snow

Abe Snow moved towards a place she had never known before. She had just got her e after a long journey. She came to this place and instantly felt warm. She saw another dog. She had never been owned by any human. Never been petted, never been loved. She wasnt skittish she was ferocious. She hated humans, being petted. She would do anything to avoid humans. She saw the male and went over sitting a few feet away. ''Hello im Abe Snow but call me Abe.'' she said. She wagged her tail a little bit

Ace

Ace sat there, basking in the warmth that the volcanic area offered to him. The air and the ground were much warmer than in other places in the valley. As he sat there, he heard another dog approaching him, her unkempt nails clicked on the hardened surface. He turned his head in the direction of the sound to see another mutt approaching him. She introduced herself after sitting near him. I'm Ace. That was all he spoke. He was a friendly dog, but he wasn't much of a talker until he really knew you. He was more the strong silent type. His tail did wag slightly to show he was glad to have company.

Barbaros

Barbaros was tired and he was cold. He'd left the Breve Ridges, a place he commonly enjoyed staying because of the sheer cliffs, and made it easy to pounce on any unsuspecting prey near the lower parts of the Cliffs. He slid his pink tongue over his white lips, his dark eyes scanning the dome for any signs of danger. He was naturally cautious, especially when it came to the two legged, half naked creatures with those dangerous lightening things in their hands. He didn't like them. They shot his food, the deer he hunted to survive, and they didn't eat them. This single thought angered the cougar, who now flicked his tail side to side in quick, vicious movements. He had come to the dome several times during the colder days of the year to gather the warmth and the energy before going back to find some meal to fill his stomach.

He padded silently over the hardened surface, his ears swiveling lazily for any unusual sounds. There were smells that stood out from the usual volcanic sulfur that clung to the Ashen Dome. Living scents, and now voices that followed. Distant voices, but he heard them with his rounded ears nonetheless. The cougar paused, lowering himself instinctively and sniffed the air. His tail flicked about excitedly, displaying his mood. These scents were not familiar to him, but his curiosity pushed him onwards towards the direction the voices had come from. There had only been two different sounds, and their conversation had been brief.

There they were. Two canines. They were not wolves, and he was curious about this. Tilting his head to the side, he watched them quietly from a distance, sitting down on his haunches. Barbaros was not hungry, he had hunted a raccoon earlier that morning and did not kill if he was not hungry. Barbaros kept his distance from the two, in case something happened that needed him to get away quickly.

Abe Snow

Abe looked at Ace. ''Nice to meet you.'' she said. She lifted her muzzle to the air and sniffed. There was more then just them two. She searched the area with her eyes. There. She spotted a canine. She let out a bark and looked at Ace. ''Theres more then just us here.'' she said. She looked at the other canine that was hiding and then at Ace

Ace

Ace had also caught the new scent. Yet it was not one of another canine but instead the scent of a big cat. He knew there were many big cats in this area and some of them were friendly with canines while others were not. This scent was not one he had encountered just yet. So, he was on edge. He stood up and looked around, nodding as the female spoke. He spotted the large cat who was hunkered down a short distance away and he spoke to the animal. Are you a friend or a foe, cat? He knew that alone he probably couldn't take on the big cat if he was an enemy but he would try just so that the female could escape, he did have some sense of chivalry.
