John & *Cattle*

The teen rode across the pasture on one of his family's horses, Nass. As he rode along the fence, he saw that part of it had been broken. Also, he noted that there were cattle prints leading out of the broken fence, and into the wilderness. But the tracks became too hard to see much beyond the fence, so John couldn't track the creatures. Frustrated, he whistled shrilly for his dogs to come.

Scent will tell where these cattle have gone; five in all. One is a female with two calves. The three of them made it to Galar's Marsh. The last two are bulls; one made it to the Ashen Domes. The other ended up in Pike's Lake.

Abigale, Masena, Nak

Abigale, followed by two of her pups came dashing across the field and halted beside Nass and John. Eager to help and please their master, the collies looked up to him.

John pointed down to the ground, then said, "Find 'em! Track 'em, Abigale, Masena, Nak!" he shouted, though not in a mean tone. "Track 'em!" Abigale had learned that command before. Swishing her tail in signal for her pups to follow, Abigale took off after the tail. When she reached the area where the trail split, the collie took off after the bull at the Ashen Domes. Masena and Nak followed.

Koren

.>.Koren trails after Abigale and halts beside the two-legged. He gazes up, a questioning look plastered upon his features. Visage turns back as he looks for Cronus to be sure he wasn't about to tackle him. Koren knew Cronus didn't like him from the start and Koren, in turn, despised him as well.>.

Ivy

the pup was a little older now and was stronger...she walked up beside e Abigale, "what is going on? what are you doing mama" she says, she had no idea how to track...

John, Cronus

John looked down at the wolf pup he had taken to his house a short while ago. To him at least, it seemed Koren was bound to stay at the Ranch.

Cronus scowled slightly when he saw Koren and narrowed his dark eyes. Then bluntly ignoring the pup, he spoke to Ivy . "I think she went that way." he informed, looking in the direction the she-collie went; knowing this by scent. Yet he wasn't sure why their mother went that way. Before he could speak again, John interrupted.

"It looks like you three arrived just short of your mum! She went that way." the teen said, pointing in the same direction Cronus had earlier. But the pup just looked up at his young master intently, and waived his brushy black tail a bit. He understood 'mum' as another name John referred Abigale too. But the rest of the words slipped past his reach.

"Go track 'em! Go find the cows! Follow your mum!" Again, 'mum' and this time 'cow' caught his ears. He had also understood 'go' vaguely. Piecing those words together, Cronus made his own interpretation, "I think he means that our mom is with the cows. But I don't think the cows are suppose to be out of this area..." he trails off, "You wanna go find Mom?" he finally asks Ivy.

Koren

.>.Orbs rolls in annoyance. Koren rises and looks at Cronus.
And you just noticed that? Some of the cows went thataway. A cow and two little ones...
He informed, a hint of mocking tainting his voice. Jerking his head to the left of the trail Abigale took, he indicated that's where he was going, not alone though. He didn't want to be trampled by the mother. Koren would rather go with one who was familiar with the cows.>.

Ivy

she snarled a little at Koren, she didn't like the way he was treating her brother. ignoring Koren she looked at Cronus. "lets find her!" after that the pup starts forward sniffing the ground, she could smell her mom and fallowed her all the way to Ashen Domes.

Koren

.>.The snarl from Ivy cause him to leap up, ivories bared. He had been taught a snarl from another was a threat and here he found a threat. Already he wished for a challenge from Cronus, but e knew Cronus would find something to excuse himself with. He bowled past her, shoving Ivy roughly aside and departed to Galar's Marsh. He'd bring back those cows and show them all.>.

Cronus & Elsa

The fiery adolescent snarled suddenly at Koren when he shoved Ivy. The young collie was about to declare war against the young wolf when John intervened, "Cronus! Stop that! No growling, don't be a bad pup now." Cronus looked up at his youngest master with pleading eyes, but the tone of John's voice told Cronus that he didn't want a fight. With a heavy sigh, the collie stalked off after Ivy. If John didn't want to see him fight, he would simply not fight where his masters could see.

Several minutes later, little Elsa showed up. John and Nass had already headed further along the Cow Pasture by that time. But Elsa easily picked up the scent of her siblings. She started off following after Cronus and the rest, but the stench of sulfur from the Ashen Domes deterred her. Instead, she followed after Koren.

Shimmer

She ran off to Galars marsh as well. She wanted to try and help. Calves wouldn’t survive as long as bulls. She sprints out.
