Blazed

With a set jaw, the Toklat Canyon alpha rose abruptly, his mind made. His youngest daughter had brought disturbing news about a certain pack from the Ruins with high ambitions. They had either to join this pack's cause or face death and Blazed would have none of it. He had confidence in his pack's ability to stand and fight, but he did not know the dispositions of his fellow alphas. He did not think they would willingly submit to Risen, but he could be wrong. So now was the time to make a coalition, before Risen could make her move against the packs. He held a fierce loathing for the female, and he would not stand by and let her attempt to dominate the packs of the Valley. They had to act swiftly.

The ebony hunter made a straight for the edge of his lands that bordered the Emerald Pines pack. When he reached the perimeter of his lands, he tossed his cranium back and let fly an urgent song for the alphas Crucified or White Tip. He requested their company for talk of an alliance among the packs.

Sarcifice

She snuck in and growled to Blaze, she hadn't been in Risen's land for long so she still smelt of Crucified's pack. "Leave brute we don't take kindly to your kind." she hissed and passed him.. sneaking farther into the lands in search of Kalaber. Hoping to catch White tip off guard so she could steal the little runt.

Kalaber

He sat grooming himself his mother far aways off panic stricken.He yawned nad licked his chops.He was growing quiet quickly.

Hidden Betrayal

The female had gone and rubbed herself clean of her true scent making herself smell of lavender and roses. A natrual scent. She growled as she saw Blazed and turned her body away from him. She looked different now, and as long as she didn't face him, she should be ok. She had filled out well, her frame no longer gaunt and thin. Seeing Kalaber her eyes raised and she came forth towards him, softly in his ear she whispered "Your poor little dear. Where is your father?" Her eyes raised to Sacrices and her meaning was clear. Go find other pups. She had Nachi on her way here, she had been passing by and noticed the wolfess. Kalaber was still able to be picked up, but barely. IT would be much easier to hit him once hard enough to knock him out and take him that way but Hidden Betrayal did not believe she could do that without causing an uproar. Well....Maybe an uproar was in store. Or....Maybe Nachi could do her little trick. Yes thats it. Have Nachi begin her master minded brainwashing of sorts. But for now she needed to get on Kalabers good side. Make him trust her

Kalaber/White Tip

He saw sacrifice and wagged his tail but then heard an unfamilar one and growled b aring his fangs."Back off wench you do not belong here who everyou are get lost."He growled and then quickly called to his mother.

If she wasn't already panicked she heard her sons call and ran off to see what was wrong and then she saw a fem that was not part of the pack near her pup she bared her fangs and snarled.She moved over her pup so he was under her."Get lost now or ill kill you"She snapped her jaws tail above her back.

Palintina:The young daughter sat in a bush hiding feeling somethin was up and she didn't like it.She was still very small.

Blazed

Blazed snarled and squared his stance. Normally, he might have retaliated, but the want of an alliance was too great to forfeit. "A subordinate such as yourself should not disrespect a bordering alpha so." The minx was stepping way out of line, for he remained within his border and no self-respecting traditional alpha would set paw into a no wolf zone and onto another's without explicit consent. Sacrifice was lucky for the old ways binding alphas to their harem as they did, but that did not mean Blazed would be left out. The ebony monster called out brusquely to his beta and eldest son. Heero could put his zeal to good use. The beta hadn't had much to do lately, and Blazed was sure he would enjoy the opportunity to play an alliance emissary. Cavalier just needed the experience.

As he waited, the alpha male watched with great interest. His nose told him the alpha femme was here, with her pup, and neither seemed to like the second intruding femme. Something along the lines of trivial familiarity struck Blazed about the strange minx, and he didn't like it. The brute opted to keep an eye on her.

Heero

Heero's ears perked up at Blazed's urgent call. The beta hopped to his feet and headed off in his direction. Taking a brisk pace, Heero ran through the deep green trees of his pack's land. The underbrush crunched and broke at his feet as he continued to run. As he went, a thought occurred to him. Blazed hadn't specified why he was being summoned. COuld someone else have challenged Blazed for the canyon? Heero began to sprint to the aid of his pack leader Blazed. Taking long strides, he moved as fast as a wolf like Heero could move.

In very little time, the beta reached his leader. Heero surveyed the situation and gathered the mother and his pup did not take too kindly to that one fae who carried the scent of lavender and rose. "Blazed, what is it you need me to do?" He asked. Heero realized that Blazed could not cross into the Emerald Pines territory without invitation, but being on the edge of the no wolf zone was better than at the edge of their canyon.

The phantom wasted no time in getting to his father. Cav knew Blazed was working on alliances, and it he had to call them in, he didn't think it was going to go so smoothly. The brute's powerful limbs were a blur as he closed the distance between himself and his father. When his azure orbs drank in the scene that played out before him, his mind jumped to possible scenarios. He came up beside Heero and once over-ed the group gathering in the Emerald Pines Terra.

"What's going on father?"

Sacrifice

She was about to silence Kalaber by saying she knew the female, but it was too late. White Tip was already there. In a sudden growl she hissed to White Tip "Dearest White Tip, she is a friend of mine." Her eyes flicked to Betrayal as to say play along. "However, you have a visitor on the edge of your lands. Don't worry, I promise she wont hurt anyone." She was so convincing she believed herself.

White Tip

she glanced back at sacrifice."all the while i will not let her near my pup"She snarled picking kalaber up and moving away and toward the other alpha.She placed kalaber down gently."What is it thy seeks?"She quesionted.One ear on him and the other on the unknown fem

Kalaber:He glared at sacrafice.Just because she knew this fem doesn't mean she was allowed in his father s territory.HE held his tail high.

she stayed hidden not sure what was going to be happen but somethin was.

Blazed

The brute regarded Sacrifice and her friend warily. Dropping his voice for those only within a few feet of him [Cavalier and Heero], he whispered orders.

"Heero, watch that one's friend." He tipped his head in Sacrifice's direction. "Cav, watch her friend. She seems strangely familiar."

Satisfied they had heard right, he glanced up at White Tip as she transferred her pup closer. He locked eyes and then dipped his head respectfully in greetings.

"Thank you for meeting with me. I request an alliance between our packs and numerous others."

Blazed had delivered his proposition loudly initially and then abruptly dropped his voice once more, his words explicitly for White Tip's ears, and Kalaber, if he so wished to participate. Blazed realized that, from the border's scent and the scents he picked up right there and then, that Kalaber was to assume his father's rank when he came of age and as an pup, Risen might find him an interesting asset to try and turn him against her adversaries, just as she was doing with Litharaz.

"There is a new up and coming pack that is looking to overthrow us and our fellow alphas. I do not intend to go down without a fight. I'm looking to see if you are of the same thought, especially since you are rearing pups. I ask that you join me against the Shadow Haunters and grant me your support."

Long ago when Cavalier and his siblings were birthed, they had faced a similar threat when the only thing their father and his kin had ever lived for was fighting the Lurkers. The grudge remained, but Blazed did not bother to rekindle such violence. The alpha male sincerely hoped White Tip would consent to his request, for he was making the survival of the valley packs part of his responsibility. He refused to let all their ancestors had worked for to fall to the Shadow Haunters.

The iridescent ebony prince dipped his head in concurrence and then again in greeting to White Tip and her pup. The next moment, he turned his attention to Sacrifice's friend, his ocean blue eyes staring coldly at the minx. The tone Sacrifice had used when explaining the predicament to her alpha did not sit well with him. You did not hiss explanations nor speak with contempt to your alpha. Cav moved forward to place himself between White Tip and Blazed as they spoke and signaled Heero to follow; they were to act as physical barriers. As he moved up to only a few feet away from Sacrifice, he was able to pick up the new scent she found interesting. A young female pup. Cavalier furrowed his brow and went over the scent once more. Could it be one of White Tip's other offspring? He quietly shared his observation with Heero.

Hidden Betrayal

She growled low and dark at White Tip when suddenly a new idea popped in her head. She raced to White Tip, her eyes frantic as she came up beside her. "You don't understand, alphess! I bear grave news about your mate. He is at the Alleys. They are going to kill him, he needs help!" She kept her body turned to the side away from Blazed and her voice was held at a low timber to further disguise herself as her eyes stared into White Tips trying to relay her message. It was true that both Enola and Crucified were at the Aegis Den with Hydras and her new friend attempting to kill them both. "You needed to know. Now you must go save them! This pack would not be able to stand two fatal casualties." Her tail twitched in agitation as she turned her eyes to Sacrifices. Go find more pups. They seemed to say to the other wolfess. But just as quickly the look was gone.

Blazed

Blazed's icy blue pools snapped over to Hidden Betrayal, trying to figure out why she seemed so oddly familiar when she broke the news. A snarl welled up in his chest and his eye narrowed furiously. Those Lurkers, although unknown to them, were making his job very difficult. He hadn't heard much of the Lurkers and had been ready to drop the grudge, as he had just previously and recently thought, but now things changed. If Blazed had to fight to help White Tip's mate to forge an alliance, than so be it. It wasn't like he was making himself more of enemy to the Lurkers, he'd fought with the dwindling Alley Pack until they disappeared and he'd claimed the canyon. In fact, what was one more brawl with the Lurkers? Hey, he might even call in old Danger to help. His aging father was nearing the end of his fighting fit prime, and the taste of Lurker blood before he passed on would do the brute a world of good.

Blazed held off offering her Cavalier, Herro, and his services, wanting to see if she required them at all.

White Tip

she listened to his proposition."Yes i think an alliance will be in order"She said calmly and then the wench came over and stared her in the eyes telling her this.She snapped at hidden."Get out of my terratory before i kill you"She snarled.She then turned back to the other."if what you say is true about the shadow lurkers then my pups are not save i have no way in helping my mate.Do you think you could help him?"She questioned

Kalaber."pappa in trouble i want to go help mommy"He whined rubbing up against white tip

white:"no kalaber you are for one too young and if i were to loose you now your father might become distraught you are the heir of this place and you need to grow up"She said nuzzling him.Then she smelt her youngest of the four offspring.She called to her to come to her.

Pal:She heard her mom and came skitting out from under the brush and right under hidden."momma where's daddy this place has changed"SHe whined.

Sacrifice

She watched as the alphess of the land took the heir and walked over to the brutes. She smiled at what Betrayal said and then saw Palitina skit toward Betrayal. This action in itself made her wary and smiled as Palitina took a trusting to Betrayal.

The silver hued temptress sauntered up to Betrayal, her words so low the wolfess herself would have to strain to hear."If the adults leave, Tell the pups the Lurkers are coming. In huge numbers, they will have to follow." She whispered and stepped back from the group, glaring at Blazed though she kept her eyes low so the plan could pull through without much trouble.
