Sweetbrier

The little vixen came rushing in, her short legs flying a mile a minute. "V.estige! Lady!" She yipped out in a panic, flashing her eyes this way and that, trying to locate her alphas. There was some serious trouble headed their way from the south.

Aquila

The elderly wolf heeded the fox's call and came limply stiffly in her direction, "I'm not sure where the alphas are. What's the problem?" Sweetbrier was no more than a blurry, graying object in front of him, but at least his scent and what remained of his hearing told him who she was. And although he doubted he could be of much help with any problem, he'd do what he could.

Sweetbrier

"Humans! Humans and giant hounds, just south of our terra and they're heading this way! The humans are on horseback, too!" she cried frantically, her eyes darting from Aquila to the southern boarder. "They are so big... what should we do?!?"

V.estige

The alpha came bounding over, head held high and ears pricked forwards. He came to a halt near Sweetbrier.

Whats wrong?!?!

Lady

Lady troted as fast as she could towards Sweet Brier. "Whats up?" she asked coming to a halt next to the grup Nudging a quick hello to V.estige

Sweetbrier

"There's a hunting party heading our way! Three giant hounds, and two humans on horses!" Her dark eyes were wide with fear as she looked from V.estige to Lady, "I spied them in the No Wolf Zone to our south; I don't think they saw me though."

Lady

Lady grumbled quietly at the note of humans. "They alwase have to fear us or kill us." she growled. "Why, we arn't much diffrent from those hounds. but on another Note what are we to do?' she said "Brier is there anything else you can add to what you saw?' she questiond

V.estige

I live for the day the world comes to peace...

The words V.estige hoped would never sound did as Sweetbrier confirmed his fears. Another war was brewing and there was almost certainly going to be a casualty, and this he could not take anymore.
Thank you for the warning Sweetbrier, Yes, Is there anything else you saw?
He knew what he had to do, but he knew it was a hopeless plan. However he could not risk another death of one of his pack and so he listened for Sweetbriers voice again as his mind calculated the best way for him to go about it.

...but that day will never come

Sweetbrier

She thought a minute, trying to remain as calm as she could while her heart thumped a mile a minute. "The humans bear weapons. And the hounds... they are massive! The largest I've ever seen. They looked to be fast, for their legs are long." Sweetbrier switched her gaze from alpha to alpha, wanting to be of some help, but knowing her small size didn't lend itself well to 'helping' in many situations.

V.estige

The alpha nodded, accepting what the fox had to say and recording it to memory. He seemed to be in some other world as his gaze dropped to the emerald blades below, His mind racing, trying to find some way they could beat the hounds, or some way to avoid them.

We have two choices, Stay and Fight or Hide. Even if we did fight we would be outnumbered as there would only be me and Liseli who would stand any chance of matching these hounds. Even then I dont think Liseli would feel up to another fight after the recent war... He sighed and paused here, seeming to be remembering Sauda, And so I think we should hide, and if they find us, then we run or I'll fight them or lead them away...If anyone else has any ideas then I would be glad to listen.

He looked between them all, as if just noticing Aquila. He gave a small smile to the elder wolf but continued to look between them all for some sort of solution to this big problem they all now faced.

Aquila

Aquila stood silently, peering with strained eyes on the blurred faces around him. He couldn't imagine trying to fight these big hounds that Sweetbrier spoke of. Maybe in years past, but not now. The old wolf thought hard, wanting more than anything to bring himself to some use to this pack, but he was unable to think of anything. Worse yet, he didn't know where Shika was; although, she could climb trees, which there were plenty of in this terra.

"I agree with hiding. It sounds like our best option now." Aquila said at last, tilting an ear back as if listening for the hounds. Of everyone, he'd probably be that last to hear them coming. But if he had anything on his side, it was wisdom and experience. If only he could figure out something...

Sweetbrier

Like Aquila, she too was debating her usefullness in this situation. She could climb trees rather well, thanks to her short limbs. But what good was that skill right now? It might save her from the hounds, but she couldn't abandon the others. "Hiding does sound the best choice." She piped up in support, before an idea came to her. "Maybe... well, if they found us... I could help you." Her eyes went to V.estige, "I can't outrun them, but I can go to the trees. We can run opposite directions. If they are split up, we'd have a better chance..."

Lady

Lady looked to V.estige then to sweetbrier. "Neather of you are going along." lady said "We hide or get help from other packs but i won't risk you guys all alone. I won't do it i won't i won't i won't." lady said to them.

Azin

He watched them all, "V.estige, My name is Azin, I suggest hiding, Maybe I can fool them into thinking i'm a pet? I could give it a try. What do you think?" He whimpered, knowing he was putting his life on the line for a group he didn't know.
