Austin/Dakota

Austin bounded back to the territory, calling for the alpha. "Dakota! I have good news!" He cried out, standing just below her favorite cliff. The cougar, Dakota, stalked down the hill at the edge of the cliff and stood in front of Austin. "What news could possibly be good at this time?" She asked. Austin, seeing that Dakota was still in a bad mood, lowered his head respectfully. "We have allies. The Shadow Haunters. Some of the most feared creatures in the Valley." He informed submissively. Dakota smiled at this. "Good. Kalaber will pay, and Adulthi will be begging to be accepted back!" She said darkly.

Then Dakota turned around to face her mate. "Austin, this is Ronen." She said, nodding to the snow leopard. Austin bowed to Ronen. "Good to meet you. I'm Austin."

Ronen & Stone

Ronen listened with mild interest at first, until he heard his cousin's name mentioned. Still, this didn't bring about any distinct emotion to the leopard. He didn't hold most of his family in very high regaurds, and didn't consider it a problem of his if Adulthi got herself into trouble. Now he focused on Austin, and nodded his head vaguely, "Same to you." Quick and simple.

Stone was cuddled up next to his mother, watching Austin with far more interest than his father did. His eyes were light blue now, but in the coming weeks they would shift into a pale green.

Dakota/Austin

Dakota looked at Ronen and smiled. "Perhaps you have heard that a war will be starting soon." She said casually. "An enemy, Kalaber, has foolishly stolen a pack member. We're going to make him pay." Austin would have rolled his eyes if he hadn't known Dakota almost all his life. If there was one thing Ronen had to learn about the cougar, it was that when she wanted to do something there's no stopping her from doing it. The clouded leopard slid up next to the snow leopard. "She's crazy. You'll get used to it." He joked.

Ronen & Stone

If Austin had been a wolf, Ronen would have attacked him for getting so close, but he relented with the feline. Shifting a bit, he lifted an eye at the comment, "At least things won't be boring." The leopard looked to his mate then, "My father was killed not too long ago in a war. I tried to stay out of it, but..." Ronen gave a gruff shrug, "...looks like that's not going to happen."

Stone looked from one parent to the other, curious about this whole 'war' thing.

Kavik/Dakota/Klondike

The Eastern Brown Snake slithered silently through the brush, his tongue flicking in and out. He lifted his head above the grass when he reached the territory of the Sombra Cazadores. He saw the cats in the distance. Klondike noticed the snake and padded closer. "Hey! Stone! Come see this funny animal!" He called out, going as close as his instincts would allow. Dakota spun around when she heard her son. She growled and stalked closer to Kavik. "You are trespassing on the land of the Sombra Cazadores. Who are you and what is your business here?" She said dominantly. The snake smiled and looked at the big cat. "I am Kavik. I'm only hunting. I had no idea this was your land." He replied gently. Then it hit Dakota that a snake would be a good addition to the pack. "I am Dakota, alpha female of the Sombra Cazadores. We are a hunting group. If you join us, you can have all the food you can eat." She said, lowering her voice a bit. Kavik thought for a moment. "Alright. Sounds good." The snake said to the cat. Klondike's eyes widened. "You're going to be my packmate?!" He exclaimed. Kavik simply smiled and nodded.

Majikan

News reached Majikan that the Shadow Haunters had allied themselves with another pack. He liked the fact that this pack was mostly cats. So he thought he'd meet them. He stopped at the edge of the territory. "I am Majikan of the Hidden Oasis Territory, ally of the Shadow Haunters, and I am here to see the Sombra Cazadores." He called out. Then he sat back and waited.

Dakota turned around when she heard the tiger. Smiling, she approached Majikan and bowed. "Greetings, Majikan. I am Dakota, alpha of the Sombra Cazadores. Perhaps you have heard that we are also allies of the Shadow Haunters." She said warmly before turning her head to face the Snow Leopard behind her. "This is my mate, Ronen, and our children, Klondike and Stone." Majikan bowed to the family of big cats. "Good day." He simply said.

Tajsh

Tajsh son of Rajsa and Majikan had ventured out on his own to try out his hunting skills. He had no clue that his father rest near by. he had started out on different lands just on the border of this place. A deer came running pretty close to the hunting group and soon he followed it.He caught site of his father but intended on following the deer.

Majikan/Dakota/Irakli

Majikan spun around when he saw his son out of the corner of his eye. "Tajsh...how nice it is for you to stalk me. That is what you're doing, isn't it?" He said, slightly annoyed. Dakota narrowed her eyes when she saw the intruder. "Who are you and what are you doing on my land?" She hissed. Irakli followed after his father. He stopped when he saw his brother. "What are you doing here?" He asked angrily.

Tajsh

His head had spun to look to his father who spoke and then it looked back and the deer was gone.He growled and slid to a halt.Why would I stalk an unworthy thing as yourself? Your not worth my energyHe growled and soon turned to face him.His tail flicked.Then he looked to the other who spoke.Im sorry i did not know this was your land i was just hunting on the border of it and followed that deer or if you want to listen to that bafoon Stalking him which isn't trueHe snorted and then glared but didn't speak to his brother.

Dakota

Dakota snarled and hissed at the tiger. "Now you know that this is my land. LEAVE NOW." She said hatefully. It was then that Austin joined in. He stood next to Dakota and stared at Tajsh. "You are very unwise to trespass on the land of the Sombra Cazadores. When we kill Kalaber, we will kill you as well." He warned. Majikan stood in front of his traitor son. "Run home to your mother before I bring your dead body to her." The blue tiger snarled.

Tajsh/Rajsa/Mohan/Gaara

Tajsh he growled his fangs bared at all of them but he couldn't take all of them let alone his father.His tail flciked but right then he heard a familar roar and he looked above him.

Rajsa:She had wondered where tajsh had gotten off to and was worries. So she gathered Mohan gaara to come along with her. When she heard majikans words her eyes narrowed and she sprung from cover leaping right over her son and right in front of majikan.How dare you threaten him! And you say i am as bad as the haunters! Ha Look your threatening your own son how pitiful!She snarled.

Mohan the white tiger moved to stand behind rajsa and to the left whill gaara took the right.

Majikan

Majikan bared his teeth when he saw Rajsa. "I'm threatening him because he refused to leave land that was not his, sherlock." He shot back. Dakota snarled and stared at Rajsa. "If you do not leave, I will kill you all." She hissed.

Rajsa

She growled.Her tail swishing.She glared at dakota.Shut up! This is none of your businessShe was angry by all means and wouldn't hesitate to injure anyone who threatened her family.Oh please Majikan he's still your son. You claim to care for your offspring how pitiful! He maybe on my side but thats because h knows the true story!I pity The two you kept but yet i shall never harm them if i can help it! No matter what.She growled a spark in her eye.Her tail flick.You know i pity you too for not seeing the light Majikan your such a handsome tiger yet not noble like you should be

Mohan:Growled.his claws digging into the ground.

Gaara:He stood ready

Tajsh:He growled angerly

Dakota/Majikan/*Big Cats*

Majikan shook his head. "You ramble the same garbage every time we meet, Rajsa. How many times do I have to tell you that threats are a necessary evil in these times? Your son is satanic. That is why I must use threats." He said calmly.

Dakota turned around to face the forest. "Wild cats!" She called out. "These creatures are evil. They are plotting our downfall! They wish us dead. They will kill us while we are not looking and take everything we have! We must rise and fight for what we know is good!" A cluster of curious big cats gathered several feet from Dakota. Among them were cougars and snow leopards. They had lived peacefully with Dakota for this long. Why betray her now? The army stood ready and prepared for battle. Dakota smiled mischievously and turned to Hal, who had just arrived. "Go alert the Haunters that a war is starting now." She whispered. The serval nodded and bounded off.

Rajsa

She bared her teeth at him. Her eyes narrowed.Satanic? Your pathetic your the one who's SatanicShe then caught dakota's words and glared.It was time to head to Kalaber's place.Come we must leave and get ready back to Shadow Hedge.Gaara head back to my place and stay with Tolacca pleaseShe then turned tail and ran straight for shadow hedge.

Mohan:he soon followed.

Tajsh:Followed his mother and also let out a call for Xatia telling her that they were preparing for the war.

Gaara he nodded and headed in the opposite direction.

Dakota/Majikan/*Big Cats*

Dakota smiled and laughed triumphantly as the enemy fled. "We have won the war, and it has just begun! The enemy has retreated!" She exclaimed. "We have victory!" Majikan nodded. "The other side is known for being cowardly." He stated. The big cats gathered around the Sombra Cazadores. They would defend their territory.

Ronen & Stone

Ronen refrained from talking during the encounter, though an ominous and threatening rumble reverberated in his throat. Dark, half-narrowed eyes glistened malignantly at the intruders as his claws flexed into the ground. He had been ready to attack them if they proved hostile, but thankfully, they backed off before there could be bloodshed. Hardly relaxing in his tense posture, the leopard looked back to Dakota, "Just how many do they have on their side?"

Stone followed his brother, curious about the snake. "Oh, hello! My name is Stone." He greeted happily, tilting his head to the side a bit as he looked at the serpant.

Dakota

Dakota sighed and drew nearer to her mate. "I don't know exactly how many. But there are a lot. I sent my wolf friends to their side to spy." She replied.

Kavik smiled and nodded. "Greetings, Stone." He said politely. Klondike circled around the snake. "You're very long!" He exclaimed playfully.
