Moonshadow & Pups

Moonshadow wakes up, blinking in the total darkness. She gives a happy bark, and digs through the snow. Once out, she deightfully looks around in the startling whiteness. The pups tumble out, yipping happily. Amaroq gleefully runs in circles, barking loudly. Katani sniffs at the snow curiously, wrinkling her nose. Stormcloud digs his muzzle into the snow, snorts, and wags his tail, rolling around.

Moonshadow enters the den, puzzled why her other two pups did not move. Soon after, she leaves the den, ears and tail drooping. She sits and howls in sorrow, singing of her lost pups. The remaining pups huddle around her, then begin their own howls, sad. Even brave Stormcloud tucks his tail between his legs, ears folded.

*Blue Moon*

Blue Moon awoke to the sound of the howl. He flicked his ears, and got up stiffly. He opened his eyes, but found ot his surprise he couldn't see anything. He whimpered, frightened, and not wanting to move.

Storm Dancer, Ninaki, & Pirqua

Storm Dancer and Ninaki rush over to greet the pups and Moonshadow. Then they see Moonshadow emerge from the den, and her song tells of their loss. Ninaki and Storm Dancer throw back their muzzles and howl as well. Pirqua takes flight, and lands in a nearby tree. She didn't understand the song the wolves sang, but she could tell something bad had happened.

Storm Dancer cut her howl short after hearing Blue Moon's whimper. She makes her way through the snow and gives a worried whimper, then a woof to Blue Moon.

Blue Moon

Blue Moon heard Storm Dancer, and then got up, moving towards her. He whined softly, nudging her sadly. He threw his head back, joining in the sad song for loss.

Ninaki, Pirqua, & Storm Dancer

Storm Dancer looks worridly at Blue Moon, and voices her consern. "Can you see alright?"

Ninaki finished his song, the looked about at the remaining pups. Then he aproached Moonshadow, "I'll get some food, if you want." the young wolf glances up at Pirqua, and the falcon flies down and alights near the wolves. she would be a scout for food.

*Blue Moon*

Blue Moon nodded. "Yah, out of my right eye, but not my left."
