Arora, Shrike, & Trogon

The border patrols had all turned up no further sign or scent of humans, though Starscream ordered that the patrols continue for the next few weeks at least, to ensure that the two leggers did not return. Arora had taken it upon herself to personally mark all of the trail cams, and to turn her teeth against them from time to time, even if she couldn't break through the hard shell or damage the strap that held them in place. Every time she saw Tay and Scream though, those insufferable collars reminded her of the foul creatures that had invaded her land, and the desire for vengeance continued to grow.

On this early evening, the wolfess was traveling along the edge of a stream, Shrike and Trogon padding along beside her. She'd managed to gain the pair's interest - and secrecy - in her plan to harass the humans, but since they were only adolescents, Arora was searching for one more packmate to help her with her plans. Darling was too submissive, and Crow too leery of the humans. Kurok and his family were a no-go, and so was Starwhisper. But her brother? Her bold half-sibling might be her best bet, so the amber-eyed wolf continued her search for him...

Megatron

Megatron was confident in himself and was going through the stage of barley having any fear and believing he could do anything. Sure one day he'd maybe take over the pack for his father but right now Starscream seemed content to continue so he was stuck as a subordinate. He was currently stalking a deer.

Arora, Shrike, & Trogon

"I smell him!" Shrike announced, having totally missed sight and scent of the deer. Eyes bright with excitement, the adolescent wolf bounded forward, leading his brother and Arora on a short run towards Megatron without realize the other was trying to stalk dinner, "Hey, Megatron!" He yipped, tail swaying cheerfully behind him.

Trogon followed just behind his brother, excitement also dancing in his honey-golden eyes. He bumped shoulders with Shrike before slowly down and coming to a stop.

Arora sauntered past both of them, excitement also in her eyes, but more controlled. "Megs, I've got a question for you."

Megatron

The deer head had shot up and tail went up and it went bounding away. He growled at the younger wolves.I was trying to hunthe growled his tail flicked. and that is? now in a sour mood.

Arora, Shrike, & Trogon

Shrike and Trogon immediately went flat-eared at their elder's rebuke, but Shrike was the first to start wagging his tail again, unable to hold back the excitement for what Arora had planned. Trogon actually apologized with a meek "Sorry, Meg...", not wanting to get any fangs to the face for having ruined his uncle's hunt. But he, too, couldn't keep his ears lowered for long, and was soon propping them back up as Arora approached.

The wolfess showed no such concern for Megatron's foul mood, though she did watch with some regret as the deer bounded away. "How do you feel about getting some revenge for what the humans did to your mom?" The amber-eyed fae, standing with confidence and conviction before Megatron, didn't show the kind of naive excitement the youngsters did. To her, this was not some fun little romp, but a serious hunt.

Megatron

He sat down still angry.You plan on doing this with them? They clearly can't do a thing like this, their too excited and are not taking shit seriously. Ill go but they stayhe said. it will be for nothing with excited pups coming alonghe growled at them.

Arora, Shrike, & Trogon

Arora looked towards Shrike and Trogon, basically a pair of big pups. He had a point, she had to admit, "That's probably wise-"

"Um, no?" Shrike immediately protested, before Arora could complete her sentence. The green-eyed adolescent snorted and raised his head up, puffing his gray chest forward as if that somehow made him look more mature, You promised you'd take us, and we are taking it seriously."

Trogon nodded emphatically, "Yeah, we can totally handle this! We know what humans smell like, and mum and dad told us what they look like, so it'll be no problem."

Megatron

He growled at them.No you are not coming, I don't care what she promised. The way you approached me and didn't take in consideration to your surroundings prooves you can not handle it. You will get killed or get us killed. You will not comeHis tail was now up and stiff and it was clear he was not budging on this.If you try to follow then we will not go at allHe growled.

Arora, Shrike, & Trogon

The stern rebuke from Megatron had both youngsters turning their ears back and shying away from the larger male. It was Shrike who voiced resistance again, slowly sliding his ears back up, "I mean, once we start to stalk the humans, then I'll definitely be more serious about it. We're just-"

"No." Arora snapped, raising her tail as well and baring her teeth, "Go back."

Trogon drooped his tail dejectedly, while Shrike rumbled his displeasure, but shirked away from the angry adults. "Fine, fine, whatever. You two go have fuuun." He nudged his brother and nodded, urging Trogon to follow him.

Megatron

His teeth became bared at Shrike and he snarled.No you wont, you should of taken approachig me seriously, by not doing so you are immature brats now go back to the denhe snarled. He watched them leave. if we are to do this we need to make sure absolutely sure they can't followhe said.

Arora

Arora watched as the two skulked away, muttering between themselves. Though she was disappointed to lose two helpers in her mission, she realized it would be for the best. Besides, she had gained Megatron as an ally in her campaign, and he was far more experienced and mature than the two adolescents. Once the brothers had disappeared from sight, the wolfess looked back to Megs with a nod, "They're inexperienced, it should be easy enough. Besides, they looked pretty intimidated by you." She gave a snort and shook her head, not truly worried about Shrike and Trogon. "As far as the humans go though, we need to figure out where their territory is - dad says it's miles from here, with a lot of strange, above-ground dens?"

Megatron

He watched the two go and sneeze as he turned his attention.There are a lot of them that is the problem, if we had tehir actual scent it be easier but all i smelt was lavenderHe said.

Arora

"We need to start somewhere at least, we'll come across those two eventually if we keep at it." Arora suggested, her determination undaunted despite having no scent of the two guilty humans, or where to even begin to look for them. "Have you ever been around the humans' dens? I know the general direction of their town, but... I don't know the best route of getting there to avoid detection." She pressed her ears aside in momentary frustration, "Do you know of anyone else, outside of our pack that has knowledge of the two-leggers?"

Megatron

He sat there and scratched at his head with a hind leg.I do not know anyoneHe said.

Arora

"No matter." Arora announced, "We can find someone to help. Grandmother told me stories of the Legendary wolves, the ones the humans feared; we just need to find one of them." The wolfess raised her tail slightly and stalked forward with determination, brushing her shoulder past Megatron, "We certainly wont find any here." With determination lighting her eyes and sounding in her confident words, the wolfess headed for Atroe City.
