V.estige

The wolf trotted back into the main lands with a small grin on his face. He had found a wolf on the borders and had accepted him into their lands. He glanced back every now and again to make sure the brute was still there, and the feline if she had come too. He reached the middle and howled gently but loud enough for the three that he ahd been talking to earlier to hear him. He waited for their arrival.

Aquila

The elderly, black-pelted wolf trailed his new alpha in, noting the way he moved slower. He's a thoughtful one, for sure. Aquila noted to himself, thinking even more highly of V.estige. He was thankful beyond words for even being accepted into the pack.

Staying quite, his yellow eyes looked this way and that, although they could not take in the world as they once did. Everyone and everything was a blurr to him, yet he retained just enough sight to get himself around. It was his nose, ears, and wisdom that let him read his environment now.

As Aquila waited, his mind began to dwell on the words of V.estige. A war was coming? Well, he could do little to help in that, although he do what ever was asked to his best ability. A hint of worry washed over him as he recalled the way his alpha had told him of the war; Aquila had detected that change in tone, and knew that this battle could be a bad one.

Liseli*Sauda

Dark and light came running to alpha's call, skidding to a halt as they reached the pair. Liseli stayed carefully back, watching the newcomer. She was the more suspicious of the pair, and wanted to ensure that this wolf was welcomed by her alpha.

Dark Sauda shot her sister a look. Do you think he would be here if V.estige did not want him to be? Relax. She then smiled softly at the old wolf, her voice soft. Greetings, elder. Welcome to Aspen Grove.

Shika

The young feline dashed in and stopped near Aquila. She streatched her paws and legs out before wrapping her feline tail around her leg, it blending nicely with the rest of her greya nd black tabby fur. She watched the two others arrive and greet Aquila. Shika didn't show one hint of fear, afterall when she was a kitten she grew up around the wolves that used to live with Aquila around here. She purred another thank you to V.estige just incase he hadn't heard her other one then watched Liseli and Dark Sauda curiously before parting her mouth to meow. "Hello." She greeted in a friendly tone before glancing back to Aquila. The word of war had concerned her slightly but she didn't know much about it so she wouldent worry till she learned more.

Sweetbrier

The gray fox wasn't sure what to think of war, for her small stature didn't do her well in battle against her larger cousins. Still contemplating the idea, Brier headed towards her alpha's latest call. She stopped near Sauda and Liseli, turning her bright eyes to Aquila first. Not realizing his vision was so poor, the little vixen gave a friendly nod to him before turning her focus on Shika. Here was someone more her size. "Hello!" The fox piped up, hoping that this tabby was nicer than the ones she had met during her stay near the human town.

V.estige

He smiled as the group grew and the rest of the pack came.

Hello everyone, This is Aquila, He is a new addition to our pack.

He then heard the small hello from the tabby and looked down. He smiled a little embarressed.

Oh, I'm sorry, I dont know your name...

He then looked to Liseli and Sauda, giving them a smile and a nod of thank you for joining him in the fight before looking ot Sweetbrier.

Have you thought anymore on what we discussed earlier?

Sweetbrier

She looked up promptly to her leader and gave a confident nod, "I will join you. I don't know what use I will be, but I will find some way." The vixen declared, raising her head up as if it gave her more strength and prowess. The more she thought about it, the more she came up with useful ideas about her smaller size.

Shika

"Shika." She said in a freindy tone when she realized she hadn't told V.estage her name yet. She then turned her attention to Sweetbrier at hearing the hello. "Hey nice to meetcha." Sika said. She was in a bright mood at the moment, afterall she was reunited with her friend Aquila, and now she had a new home and perhapes new friends. Shika then thought of the war that she heard about. She'd help any way she could, the young Tabby was pretty courageous. She glanced up to Aquila for a moment and then to all the others.

Aquila

He smiled to the sisters, "Thank you." Aquila was feeling better than ever now in his thoughts. This pack was indeed very kind and accepting, even with war calling at their heels. The sight of the vixen inspired his trust further, for it showed that this pack would probably take to Shika very nicely if they have accepted a fox in their ranks. The old wolf looked to V.estige, "I don't know that I would be of much help in the war. But whatever you ask of me, I will do."

Sweetbrier

The vixen watched Shika for a moment before her large ears swiveled to a distant sound. "He is calling us..." Brier said after a moment. Though she didn't know Forsaken, it was clear he was calling for the allies to come to him. This must be the wolf that Vestige had spoken with. With a final look to everyone around her, the vixen headed for the Canyon.

V.estige

Thank you Sweetbrier.

He smiled, at least he wouldn't die alone, if he died at all. At Aquila's voice, the brute turned and although he knew he probably couldn't amke out his face, V.estige still smiled.

I do not ask anything of you Aquila. I think it would be safest for you to stay here, My mate and our pups are hiding in a den in these lands, You could go there if you want? It is up to you though.

V.estige

He too nodded to Sweetbrier. He heard the call.

Sauda, Liseli, Come we have to go to the Canyon. Aquila and Shika, You can do as you wish. The den isn't too far away if you wish to seek shelter there but for now farewell.

He gave them a final smile and nod before taking off after Sweetbrier for the Canyon.

Sauda*Liseli

Two heads nodded, one dark one light, and then peds trotted softly away.
