Blazed

The Toklat Canyon alpha stood stoically at the edge of his borders, his icy blue orbs scanning the visible terrain of the Green Haven Pack. Not satisfied with lack of visible activity, he threw his finely crafted pate into the airspace above his bulk and let fly a lengthy song, his baritone never wavering. He was searching out Moon Phase and her mate, to see if they were still on terms as allies. They would need the friendship now more than ever. He ended his song slowly and waited for them to meet him at their borders as he had requested. He was making other alliances and wanted their say in the matter.

Darkeyes

The snowy alpha came trotting to the call of an ally, whose scent and sound had been taught to him by his mate. Coming to a neat-footed halt at the edge of his own terra, he gave the deep nod that was expected between allied alphen, smiling softly as he was wont to do. Greetings Alpha Blazed, ally to my mate. I trust things are well in your terra?

Moon Phase, Kalei

The silver fae caught ear of the call, lifting herself off of the eath where she lay with her newest litter. They were all growing, and even the smallest, Kalei, was getting bigger, and her senses more obvious. Moon Phase could only nuzzle the alert pup asshe too became alert at the sound, and as the alphaess stood, she waiting for Kalei to do the same. The others would be fine in their large group. Slowly the fae took large steps over the pups, keeping her strides normal and without the urgant length. Kalei followed, not needing any to keep her standing any longer. Her knowledge of the design of the terra aided her path. And her scence of smell kept her almost directly behind her mother. Her snowy pelt only glistened in the sunlight,and madetheir coming more obvious then ever.

Finally Moonphase appeared, making her way near her mate and the allied alpha. Once her presense was well known, she brought herself to a gracious nod. For now she was silent, tendingher child who had no finally slowed behind her and was making her way to her mothers side. Kalei seemed to know instinctivly where to stop, although being unable to see she only knew there was an unknown wolf before them, and not one of an alpha stature. So her pink lamps remained on the alpha, although all she could really do was listen to the words that might be spoken.

Blazed

Blazed's mood lightened considerably as Darkeyes, Moon Phase, and one of her young appeared. At least they were all in good health. What a shame bad times were returning. The captain smiled sadly and sighed dejectedly as he hated to break the news.

"As well is it can be, but only for a short time longer. I am afraid I bear only bad news. We, the packs of the Valley, are all in danger. There is a pack, the Shadow Haunters, who seek to dominate all of our homes and families. You are one of the first I have shared this with, and I fear for you children's life. These wolves are known to have abducted pups; to turn them against their once loved ones. We have either to submit to their will or die trying. I do not intend to do either. I am building up alliances quickly, and I have made another with White Tip of Emerald pines. From what I have heard, they have experienced some strange happens, and are coming to hide in my canyon. I beg that you do not leave your young alone and stick together as much as possible."

Blazed explained this all slowly, allowing each word to sink in. He had intended to try and gather together as many as he could so they might make a stand, but the way things were escalating, he was beginning to think it was too late, he was here to protect those who had not been bothered yet. Early warning would save lives. With a second sigh, the brute locked eyes with Darkeyes, then Moon Phase, concern and sincerity prominent in his gaze. A call from his son, Cavalier, erupted into the air and made the alpha male's auds snap forward, his countenance flashing from rage to uncertainty to finally irritation.

"I must end this quickly now. Do not leave yourselves off guard. As long as our alliance stands, you have only to call for help. My pack is full grown, although small in numbers, but we are of a fighting breed, and will come to your aid, I had only wished to remind you of this. We will not go down without a struggle."

With a parting nod, the caliph whipped around, his maw in the air, sending reply to his son. Soon they would have to fight, all of them.

Moon Phase,Kalei

Moon Phase and her daughter listeend intently to the spoke words, Kalei taking an extreme intrest as the voice was new and unfamiliar to her young harks. Although talk ofabducting pups made the smale white one back up and against her bothersown body. Moon Phase could only listen, the second set of vocals off in the distance turning her peaks to hear their urgancy. Only as Blazed finished did she nod "Thank you for this warning." But before she could speak more, the alpha had gone, leavingly only her family in th lands.

Little kalei could smell the weakening of the new males scent, so now she spoke up, pink eyes looking at her mother as any normal pup would do. "Mom, Da...our kind wouldn't do that right?" Her vocals were spoken with the power her small knowledge of this word provided her, which being here did nothing much for her. Their land had been peaceful since the pups birth, meaning only that the pups had been sheltered from the dangers of the outside world.

Darkeyes

Darkeyes listened closely as well, hiding his horror at the thought of those who would abduct innocent pups. His mate might have noticed, but the departing alphen would not. He gave a deep nod as Blazed left, and turned to nuzzle little Kalei in reassurance. My little one, they would have to go through your mother and myself to get to any one of you. Worry not, darling. All will be well.

He said it for his pup's comfort, but he met his mate's eyes with a worried look that reached to the depths of his namesake. What now?
