Razorblade

Saydin came back into the packlands, two of her three pups at her side. At a month and half, they were nothing frightening but they were at least able to walk. Well, stagger. She lay down atop a rock, a place where Moon Spirit herself had lain so often. The Sedge Creek territory was starting to look more sinister, although still beautiful. The young wolfess watched her pups, while waiting expectantly for her mate and other son.

Razorblade, a little grey fellow, was the more daring of the two here. He would constantly see how far he could go before Saydin would give a warning growl, before trailing back towards her a few feet.

Framed, the little cream baby, was quiet. Very, very quiet, and although Saydin found that odd she didn't mention it. Some children just needed to grow into their voices and for now she could wait. Framed lay down by the creek, whose waters were violent during the winter but were calm and graceful now during the summer and waited for her last brother to arrive.

Paragon; Kahvi

The big black pup followed his mother to the packlands. He stalked toward Razorblade, not making a sound. And then he pounced. It was his intent to pin his brother down.

Kahvi soon arrived, smiling at his children before sitting next to Saydin. "They're growing fast." He said contently.

.framed.

Framed watched as her larger brother pinned down Razorblade then gave a tiny smirk. While the two were wrestling, she snuck from behind Paragon then leapt upon him, her small body vibrating with her snarls as she tried to grab hold of the scruff of his neck. It wasn't a favorites thing. She just wanted to prove that she to could get in on this big mess.

Razorblade hadn't been listening nor paying attention, so it was quite easy for his black brother to pin him. He wasn't about to give up without a fight. He snarled and kicked, trying to overthrow his brother when suddenly he felt another weight atop him and his creamy white sister flashed into his view. Framed! Get out of here, its not your fight. He was angry with his sister, for he to wanted to prove his fighting skills, little as they were.

Saydin smiled up at Kahvi. That they are. She murmered softly. She watched them all, then looked up at her mate. Kahvi... Framed has not ever spoken a single word. Her brothers... they speak, they snarl, they fight. But she... Is silent, but for her growls. Is that normal? She was slightly worried with her daughter, but wanted not to show it to her mate lest he to worry.

Paragon; Kahvi

Paragon snarled at his sister when she got a hold of her scruff. "Nah, Razor, let 'er in on it!" He laughed as he struggled to keep his brother on the ground.

Kahvi looked at Framed and pondered. "It runs in my family. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but it's quite possible." He suggested. "Just give her some time. I'm sure she'll talk when she has something to say."

.saydin>

Saydin nodded to her mate, then watched as the three tore into each other. She wouldn't seperate things if it got to rough, they needed to learn that pain was just another fact of life and if they chose to tear each other apart then so be it. Nothing would change that.

Razorblade snarled, then let go of his brother before he snapped and caught hold of his sisters paw. She gave a sharp yelp through her brothers scruff, but refused to let go. She shook her head, trying to tear into his flesh a bit while trying to tug her foot away. Razorblade finally let go, then began to wriggle and try to get out from under his larger brother while biting at the males legs to try and get him to back off.

Paragon

Paragon yelped when his flesh was torn into. He rolled over, trying to get Framed to let go. "Just try to beat me, mutts!" He taunted.

Karitania

Karitania had been patrolling the borders in search of her mate when she caught sight of the return of her alphas. Saydin and Kahvi were joined by their pups, and the Beta female was eager to greet them.

"Saydin!" she called out, approaching her best friend with a wicked grin on her face, "I wondered where you'd been. Now I can see why you've been away." Her stunning amber eyes flickered to the fighting pups, and she felt a wave on longing come over her. She wanted her own pups. Xina had pups, Saydin had pups, now it was her turn. In fact it was what she had been meaning to ask Diseased for a while. Speaking of Diseased, where the hell was he...? "They're beautiful, my friends, and I'm sure they will grow to make you both proud."

Karitania barked loudly, hoping to interrupt the youngsters, "Hello, I'm Karitania. What are your names?" Karitania,
Sedge Creek,
Beta Female,
Mate to Diseased,
Mother to None,
Friend to Saydin, Kahvi, Xina, Domnio, Vandras & Lyckos

.razorblade.

Razorblade slid out from beneath his brother, finally free, and looked to see Karitania. His puppy blue eyes dropped for a moment and looked away before landing back on her again. He moved forward, a stalking motion as he did so with his head down and his movements quiet. He stopped in front of her, and said softly I'm Razorblade. The little white one is Framed, and my brother is Paradon.

As her brother grabbed hold of her, she yelped again and let go, trying to get away from him. She pulled back, not caring if she cut her own flesh, and tried to head over to Karitania.

Saydin smiled at her friend. They are beautiful. Stubburn, evil little tempers, but they are beautiful. She smiled at her three children, but worry still lingered in her eyes. Would Framed ever speak?

It didn't take long for the black and white male to arrive. In his jaws he held a rabbit, one that had eluded him the past few weeks but he had finally got the little bastard unaware before he could dive into his little hole. Saydin. Kahvi. He said with a nod as he dropped the rabbit. He nuzzled his mate, then whispered softly We could have children to. Saydin wouldn't mind. Razorblades eyes were on the rabbit, and Diseased nudged it forth. Practice your killing skills. He missed Toxin, and it was evident in the way he watched the small grey pup. The youngster pounced on the dead animal, his snarls filling the air as he grabbed hold and began to shake it, sending fur flying everywhere.

Karitania, Abraxas & Others

Karitania's grin faded, but the warmth in her eyes for the pups did not. She caught the glimmer of worry in Saydin's eyes, but said nothing of it. A gentle nod was given to each youngster as their name was spoken, but no further words were said.

The arrival of Diseased prompted a coy smirk from the wolfess, who returned his nuzzle, pressing her body against his. "I'd love to have some pups with you." She placed a rare but affectionate lick on Diseased's muzzle, turning her head to watch Razorblade tear into the rabbit. Karitania had picked up on her mate's longing for Toxin, but there was little she could do at the moment. Once the numbers within this pack had increased, they could return to Montagne Meadows and get Toxin back by force, because she knew Oemor wouldn't give in to her demands easily. He didn't like her, and the feeling was mutual.

Karitania gently nudged her mate, signalling they should probably head to the breeding grounds. She gave a small nod to Saydin and Kahvi, before leaving Sedge Creek.

Not long after, another canine entered Sedge Creek. Behind him followed a band of canines, who were commonly known under the banner of the Militia Legion. The tales of the infamous Sparkling Creek Valley had spread far and wide, with packs and creatures that had once never heard of the valley, finding themselves absorbed by stories from the region. The war-torn valley had quite a reputation, and it was this reputation that had pulled Abraxas into the heart of Sparkling Creek. Behind him, he led a brigade of warriors, all seasoned combat experts.

Behind their alpha, seven adult wolves circled him, and three young pups bounded over to their father's side. Laquaine stood just behind her older brother's shoulder. As Abraxas' sister, she was Beta female, and was the more level-headed of the pair. Behind the siblings stood Adonis, Harlan, Tye, Marron, Dagon, and the only other female, Vacelle. Beside Vacelle were the three healthy adolescents, Radon, Xenon and Iridium. Abraxas ran a very tight group, with strict rules that were physically enforced. Only he was allowed to breed with the females, and as Vacelle was the only female who wasn't related to him, she was the mother of the three young adults. Only on very rare occasions was anyone else allowed to breed, and that would only be with his blessing.

Abraxas' pack came to a halt a good ten feet from the alpha pair to show their respect. Abraxas, with Laquaine by his side, approached Kahvi and Saydin. "We've heard much about you and your recent take over of this land. I wish to propose an offer. My name is Abraxas, and I'm the alpha of the Militia Legion. We are seasoned combat experts. I wondered if you would be interested in having us live on your land as allies. That way we can be safe with many wolves on the same land, especially with your new pups. What do you say?"

Saydin

Saydin watched as her two friends left, but were soon replaced by more wolves. As the came near, she stood with a slight growl, but then listened to the propostion she was given. Her eyes narrowed, and she glanced to her mate before saying softly You may all take up residence along the southern part of the land. The creek runs through there as well, giving you plenty of water. If you wish to eat, you eat yourselves. I rarely send out hunting parties. I am Saydin, and this is my mate Kahvi. Just remember whose land you are on, and how quickly I can send you on your way. Although she was tiny, she had an aura about her that said she was not one to be messed with and that she rarely let others close to her. Abraxas would have a fun time getting her to finally trust him, but until then.... He was just another wolf to her.
