Bullet, Scaria, Pharisee, Isille, Violet Reign, & Glacier

Leaving the alphas to talk, Bullet sprinted lightly over the ground, head low as he went. He knew more or less what Hydras would talk about. Loyalty, allegience, expectations... yatta yatta. Stuff that made Bullet glad he wasn't the alpha, so he didn't have to deal with.

"There it is!" He woofed lightly, spotting the hill amongst the mostly level terrain around it. Leaping over a swollen creek bed, he slowed his pace as he neared the entrance. "Scaria? You there?"

Sure enough, the young Lurker's voice drifted out from the darkness. And soon, her head peered from the mouth of the den, "Bullet! Hold on a second..." The hybrid vanished from sight. A few seconds later, she brought a tiny furball up from the den chamber and set him on the ground. Then she vanished again, only to reappear with a second, then a third, and finally a fourth pup. They scrambled around blindly, squeaking and complaining until Scaria nudged them to her belly. "I spoke with Mesa not too long ago, but I didn't expect you all to show up so quickly!"

Bullet crouched down, tail wagging madly as he looked at the four little whelps, "Hydras sent us out as soon as she heard." He couldn't help but smile at the tiny creatures.

Vitani

Closely following Bullet, the wolf sprinted over the terrain to the Ochotona Mountains den. She stopped a few feet away from the den entrance when Bullet and Scaria spoke. Then, once the mother had brought out her pups, came forward. She was grinning, tail wagging, her eyes bright. "Hello, Scaria." Her eyes travelled now to the four bundles of joy, and she smiled, "Your pups are beautiful."

"Thank you." She replied, tail thumping against the ground as she cleaned the little pups. The light mood was quickly shattered when Hydras's howl rang out from the central lands.

Bullet's head shot up as he perked his ears at the cry. "Our allies need help." He said, almost quietly as he looked to Vitani. "Stay safe, Scaria." Bullet said, nuzzling his neice briefly before sprinting off to the Shadow Hedge, where his sister's howl had directed him too.
