Dark Star, Nyscee

About an hour after sun-up, the brute padded onto his terra, chest heaving. He was amazed after his injury how far he had just went, and had so many to thank for it. He loped up to Kana, checking if Snowden and the others had arrived. "Kana!" He spoke. "I believe we succeded in getting out!" He wagged his bushy tail and continued with regret. "The moment had to come, and we couldn't wait. I am truly sorry, but this way we had little to lose." He licked her lovingly, and barked to the others, who were most likely close nearby. "I would like to introduce you to our newest pack members. Death's Angel and Winter's Wing." He nodded to a fae to his one side with the eagle. "We have others as well, such as Nyscee and Tri-Tundra, and I do believe we also have a new brute named Jais? We still must accept him, but Tri-Tundra had sent news that he wants to belong." He smiled, his pack had grown quite strong.

Nyscee bolted over as she heard the bark. Her eyes were full of hate and fear. "A...Bear....at the Den!" She spoke between gasped breaths. The brown fae nodded and smiled to Cavan and Peregrine, as well as the leopards, before dark star replied.

Dark Star looked concerned. "A grizzly bear at the den?" He looked to Kana and spoke in a malicious growl. "We must stop him." He looked to the others. He was unsure if they would help, after all, they needed a break. Something told him that in the end a great debt might be repaid this morning.....

Snowden & Auna

Snowden had made it to the territory and sat back on his haunches, panting. He was glad to be in a more mountainous area, where it felt like home.

Auna made it back a bit sooner than her brother and was sitting as well with her long tail wrapped along one side. She gave a friendly smile to Kana and nodded a 'hello' to her and the others. At word of the bear, both leopards stood. "We'll help." Auna announced.

Peregrine

Peregrine sauntered up to the group and, for the first time in a very long time, he lowered his head. He had been alpha in a pack not far from here when he was free. He had been alpha of the Red Stones territory. But now he had no pack to guard and keep order over. This was Dark Star and Kana's home, and he had to respect that. He gave a friendly nod of his head to greet the others, then listened to what the wolfess had to say. "Best to confront a bear in large numbers." Peregrine pointed out, stepping forward, "I will help."

Dark Star, Nyscee

He nodded and sighed. "I am very grateful to have such companions." He looked to peregrine and thought. It must be hard, after so long. To lose it all. He then spoke, a bold commanding was in his voice. "Peregrine, I will ask you not of submission, but of friendship. Lift your head high, my bretheren." He nodded his head to Peregrine in return. He would not forgive himself to make Peregrine do the unecessary. He expected it of his pack, and even if Peregrine were to join, he would not expect it of him. Or Cavan. They had been through enough. "We must take action against the bear, we will have plenty of time to feast and such later." He nodded to the others, and with a bold anger in his face, and pride in his stride, he dashed off.

Nyscee too, hearing Dark Star's words, submissed for Peregrine. She did not mind, for she was in no way ill thought of by doing so. She only wanted to please. She did the same bowing routine for Kana. She then dashed off behind. She put on what seemed to be her 'Game' face. "I have warned the bear. If he doesn't leave we must kill him Dark Star."

Kana

Kana grinned at him and licked his cheak. She nodded to Nycee, "lets go" she said, fallowing her mate.

Snowden & Auna

They didn't really understand the wolves' ways of posturing. The one thing they did know was the almost universal mammal signal of looking away from another's eyes to declare the other superior. And of course a lower-toned growl or rumble as a warning or threat. Auna was especially curious to watch how the wolves used their gestures to make intentions clear, although Snowden didn't seem to enthralled with it. When Dark Star and the other two headed for the den, the two felines followed after.

Peregrine

Peregrine lifted his head after receiving permission, "You're a grand leader, Dark Star." he praised sincerely. He knew his old territory, the High Cliffs, were gone now and divided up into the Aspen Grove and Parnassian Meadows. He also knew his son was the alpha of the Parnassian Meadows, but he wouldn't live there with him; it was his pack. Peregrine wanted to stay here in the Avalanche Grove pack, but he would seek their finally acceptance later. Now they needed to rid the den of an unwelcomed visitor! As Peregrine sprinted off after the others, he knew he'd never be alpha here. He never challenge Dark Star; that would be stooping to low. Peregrine was just happy to be free now, and helping to defend his new friends, and hopefully his new pack mates.
