Rheia, Diavolo, Ferro, and Diedamia
The four cougar cubs move slowly into the terra, curious about the noise. Not knowing the danger of wolves, Diavolo looks around, confused by the larger lupines. The chicks and the bird confused him as well. Not being sure what was going on, Diavolo backs up, Diedamia and Ferro backing up with him. Rhiea watches, not too sure of what to do.
Black Feather
Black Feather immediately hunched over the loon chicks and spread his wings out to make himself appear larger. He was frightened himself of the four creatures he's never seen before, but he hissed in aggression to hopefully keep them afraid.
Rheia, Diavolo, Ferro, and Diedamia
Rheia immediately backs off, frightened of the hissing creature. But Diavolo and Diedamia knew better. It was a bird, yet, a rather large one. Ferro is the more curious one, and slinks closer, curious of this bird.
Black Feather
His feathers flatten back against him in fear, but he keeps his wings spread out, and ducks his head down slightly. Black Feather then sways his body back and forth, still hissing. He would snap his sharp beak at the Ferro if he came any closer...*
*Loon Chicks*
They peep weakly, flapping their small, fuzzy wings and pecking at the frog and fish that lay near them. They didn't fear the cougar cubs yet, they just wanted food.
Black Feather
He gives a fiery glare at the cubs before arching his neck down to the dead frog. His sharp talons clench the small body, and he uses his beak to tear a piece off. Then he holds it before one of the loons...
The falcon still swayed back and forth, ready to defend himself from the cubs.
Darkstorm
The large male wolf runs up, standing in front of the loon chicks and Black Feather. He looks at Rheia, Diavolo, Ferro, and Diedamia, then smiles.
"So, you're the cougars I smelled, right? We wish not to harm you, if you won't harm us." he says, then continues,
"Would you like to be friends?"
*Loon Chicks*
One of the loons reaches up and snatches the bit of food, and swallows it ravenously. The other dropped its head down, peeping softly. The first one peeped louder, and jabbed his beak at Black Feather, wanting more food.
Black Feather
He instantly calms down when he realizes Darkstorm is there. Black Feather quits swaying and hissing, and folds his dark wings back over his sides. His attention turns back to the chicks. He tears off another piece of the frog, and holds it before the loon chick that was begging for it. He didn't really notice the other one... his instincts just guided him to feed the begging chick.
*Rheia, Diavolo, Ferro, Diedamia*
Diavolo is the first to step forward, looking up at the wolf. "Uh. Hullo. I'm Diavolo." Ferro and Diedamia then make their way forward, their fear lessened by Diavolo's courage. "I'm Ferro. That's Diedamia, and that's Rheia." She said. "What's your name?"
Darkstorm
He smiles, saying,
"I'm Darkstorm." he pauses, then hesitantly asks,
"It seems strange that you don't have a parent with you.. Where are they(your parents)?"
*Rheia, Diavolo, Ferro, Diedamia*
Diavolo ponders this for a moment. "Well, our father didn't live with us, and our mother just lay there on the ground when we were cubs, and didn't move."
Darkstorm
"Oh.." Darkstorm says sadly.
"So you're mother is dead?" he says, then sighs.
"Hey, would you guy like to stay with me? You could probably join this pack. Oh yeah, this is Black Feather. He's my friend."
he says, motioning to Black Feather.
"And these.. I don't know their names. But, they're my friends too." he says, motioning to the loon chicks.
*Cougars*
They nod. Diavolo thinks, before speaking. "But Black Feather was going all puffy, like he was going to explode, and was hissing." The others nod in agreement.
Darkstorm
"He was defending the loon chicks and himself, because he thought you would attack."
Black Feather
He promptly flattens his feathers, and raises his head higher after hearing what the cougars had said, feeling a bit embarrassed that he wasn't as terrifying as he had hoped to be. Then the hungry loon chick caught his attention again, and he continued to feed it, but not the one that didn't beg.
*Loon chicks*
After the one chick eats all he can, he lies down and falls to sleep. The one that didn't eat was already asleep. And the egg that didn't hatch yet, does nothing...
