Amber, Charcoal

Amber would dart onto the land where she smelt her mothers scent. She had missed her mother deeply and everyone else she once knew but her mothers scent was the only one her and Charcoal had been tracking recently. She glanced around and howled calling for her mother.

Charcoal perked up his ears and padded in behind his sister at a slower pace a faint smile upon his mug. He sat beside Amber and joined in on the howl wondering if they finnaly found their mother.

Cortinarri

The new alphess, as she thought of herself as, was lying beside a frozen stream when the howls arose. She instantly came her her feet, ears straining to decypher the voices that came her way. "Amber, and Charcoal?" She whispered quietly to herself. For only a moment did she linger by the frozen stream. Then she sprung into the fridged air and began to run straightaway for where the voices were coming from. It did not take long before the wolfess was brought into view of the two whom she had saved that day, in the human town. Her teeth were quickly shown in a smile and she nuzzled both of them warmly. "My Amber, and Charcoal. I don't know what to say... but this is the happiest day I can remember in a long time." She stated, looking fondly at them. Her body was littered with old scars, mainly on her muzzle, front limbs, and side. Her hind leg was crippled as well, where Bullet had bitten and crushed her ankle bones there. Yet they were old wounds, and only hindered her movements a little bit.

Amber immidiatly returned the nuzzle and plopped down on the ground laying beside where her adoptive mother stood. "The same goes for me mom!" But the happyness was paused for a moment as her expression turned to worry when she noticed Cortinni's leg and all the scars. "Are you ok?" She asked sitting up very concered. Charcoal licked his mother on the maw and nuzzled her, then he sat beside her as well. "I am so glad we found you.. and so sorry we dissapeered from you just like that.."

Cortinarri

She smiled still, but there was a frown that came to her when Amber looked to the scars, "I'm fine; I just lost another alpha battle." She laughed faintly, shaking her head, "I'll get revenge someday, on Aaka, but I need a pack to do that." Cortinarri turned to Charcoal next, "Don't worry about it, Charcoal. Perhaps it is best that you were gone for a while, so you didn't have to witness my defeat." She add a bit jokingly.

Amber, Charcoal

Amber gave a faint smile at the joking tone but she still was a bit concerned but said nothing of it. Thats when she decided to ask her mother. "Is Vevisca still around" She tilted her head slightly. "And don't worry mom, if you need any revenge I will stand by your side and help you if you want it." She said perking up her ears.

Charcoal gave a small nod and closed his eyes for a moment. He gave a small nod and smiled before reopening his eyes at hearing his sisters question. "And yes... what of Namir? And any of the others we used to know?" He didn't want to overun Cortinni with questions however so he decided after those two he'd leave it at that unless an important question should arise. he was just glad to be with his adoptive mother once more.

Cortinarri

The wolfess sat back on her haunches now, a look of almost elegance on her features. "Vevisca doesn't live here, but he is well. He had a mate at one time, and some pups... but they all died or something. He's wondering around as a lone wolf now." Cortinarri dipped her head a bit, but not in a sad sort of way. "I know he still thinks of you, Amber. Namir told me, he was never truely happy with his new mate, for you were always on his mind. We could see it in his eyes." Now she looked to Charcoal, a grin edging itself on her regal muzzle, "Namir lives here with me, but I'd like to show you something." The wolfess stood up now, "He has three new cubs of his own. And they are quite... interesting. As for the others, I'm not totally sure. Umay has been killed, and Kanan and Keilo are on their own.

Amber, Charcoal

Amber listened and nodded. Upon hearing Vevisca's whereabouts she gave another small nod. "Oh thats a shame.. poor Vevisca." She knew it was probabley hard that he had lost pups, but upon hearing he was a lone wolf now she decided she'd go find him eventually. She perked her ears upon hearing what Cortinni said. "Really?" She asked feeling more horrible about just vanishing like that now and leaving everyone wondering where she and her brother was. "Well I will go find him then after I spend some time with you mother." She said thoughtfully.

Charcoal listened and watched till Cortinni spoke to him. "Really? Oh sure I would love to see them." He gave a small nod at what else was said not really knowing what to say.

Cortinarri

Cortinarri smiled again, in response to Amber "That we will." She wanted to build up a strong pack, like she had had before Sahena and Aaka tore it apart for her. Now her eyes lit to Charcoal, "I'll lead you there. Supposedly, his mate is rather frail.. I doubt she will be much problem for us. And from what I hear, her brother and sister are wolf-friendly. I'm sure they wouldn't mind us visiting." She pointed out. With her head up, Cortinarri made her way for the Orca Bay, doing her best to hide the limp that followed her.

Amber, Charcoal

Amber perked up her ears and wagged her tail a bit, smileing.

Charcoal gave a nod listening fully to his mother's words. When she led the way, he followed as well as Amber. He had noticed her trying to hide her limp and frowned slightly but said nothing. He was just glad she was ok.
