Kirrick & Draven

The cold of the season didn't bother the two hybrids that entered Sunset Beach. They were both large, but the male was obviously the bigger of the pair. Draven stood slightly behind his sister, taking in the beautiful sights of Kirrick's home. "Wow, Kirrick, you've certainly done well for yourself. I know you said it was amazing, but I didn't think you were actually telling the truth!"

Kirrick grinned, winking at her brother over her shoulder as they padded over the sand, her senses searching for the pack that she had been absent from for a while. "I just hope they haven't kicked me out. I'm sure Kahota will understand why I was away. It's just a shame that I didn't get a chance to see Lasota and her kids."

"Last I heard," Draven replied, concern entering his deep voice, "her pack was growing strongly. The alphess apparently found a mate, and gained a few members, but I haven't seen her for a while."

Kirrick sighed, her eyes gazing down at the sand as she pictured her sister and her neice and nephews. She hadn't seen them in a long time, and was not aware that her sister was being called to battle with her neice. "Oh well, I'll try and visit her soon. Still, you're here now, best introduce you to my pack!"

Draven smiled, trotting quickly to catch up with his sister and match her pace. The pair of canines covered the ground easily, reaching the grass covered ground near the south of the terratory. Kirrick tipped back her head, as the pair came to a halt, and a loud howl rang out over the land. She was calling to Kahota.

Kahota

Smokey gray paws emerged from the shadow of the forest, carrying forward the sleek and powerful form of the alpha male. Pale yellow orbs gleamed in the light as he cast his gaze around, scanning the diamond white sands and saphire waters of the ocean. His head rose proudly and his nares flared to catch a scent on the dying wind. Some one had called to him and his dark gray ears had pricked at the familiar sound. His tail rose behind him like a banner and his fur was raised against the cold, making himself appear larger as he approched the two hybrids. His wide paws barely marred the flat plane of sand as he padded forward to greet them. His tail wagged behind him as he came closer, eyes bright as he touched noses with her in greeting, then nuzzled her cheek affetionatly.

"Welcome back, Kirrick. I have missed you so much. It's great to see you again."

He turned, indicating the brute that stood beside her, his head canted in curiosity.

"And who might this be?"

Kirrick & Draven

Kirrick smiled brightly when she spotted the approaching form of her alpha, and her tail began to wag behind her. "Here he comes," she whispered to her brother, as Draven moved forward to stand beside her.

Kirrick gladly returned the nuzzle from Kahota, her eyes shining with joy at seeing him again. "It's good to see you too, Kahota!" Then his attention was turned to the large brute beside her, and her smile doubled as she looked upon her brother. "This is Draven," she began, her gaze sweeping back to her alpha, "he's my brother. I figured it would be good for him to meet my pack, and for you to meet him. I have a sister, too, but she's currently unavailable. I'm sure she'd love to come another time with her children, though."

Draven smiled; a reserved but friendly smile. "Hello, Kahota. Kirrick's told me much about you and your wonderful pack."

Starlight

Starlight came up silently.She probly smelled like blood and Helios,Dionysus new cub, not to mention Jenny and Magic.They were probly on their way still.She had told them to leave Dionysus and Helios alone for a bit.She didn't want to make Dionysus to tired and agressive over her cub.She saw Kirrick and a new stranger."Welcome back Kirrick,"she said politely.Then she turned her head to look at the new stranger."Hello,I'm Starlight,"she said.Then she nodded her head to Kahota in hello.Sitting she wrapped her tail around her paws,and waited for their reactions.

Jenny,Magic

Magic came up behind Starlight silently.He had smellled the two strangers,and ordered Jenny to stay near him.He may be only a pup,but he was very protective of his sister.They had lost their parents at an early stage,and came here one by one.Jenny was the first to come.Magic had came next to Sunset Beach.Kahota,Starlight,and Dionysus had cared for the two of them since then.He dipped his head to Kahota in hello before staring at the two strangers.

Jenny came up behind her brother,and stood near Starlight and Kahota.She was a bit shy sometimes,and this was one of those times.Her ears pricked she stared at the two newcommers curiously.She didn't know Kirrick was already part of the pack.

Kahota

He dipped his head in welcome to Draven, immediately liking the large brute that Kirrick had introduced as her brother. "Welcome Draven. Are you here to visit, or do you wish to join our pack." He indicated with his nose the wide stretch of beach and the vast forests that covered the mountains. Starlight, Jenny, and Magic had padded up beside him as he spoke. He licked both pups tenderly, and nuzzled Starlight. "These bundles of fur are Jenny and Magic. Two of the newest members to our pack. Starlight has adopted them and has been taking care of them. Dionysus is further down the beach, and she has a new cub named Helios." He couldn't help but smile as he thought of the cute new cub with his bright blue eyes. His eyes cast down slightly before he spoke, "but I haven't seen Jake or Black Heart for a while." He pushed that aside for the moment and looked back up at Kirrick, "What have you been doing since I last saw you?"

Kirrick & Draven

Kirrick smiled, returning the greetings to the pack as they gathered. When Draven was questioned about his purpose here, he simply smiled and shook his head. "No, Kahota. I have a home with the Aspen Grove pack. We recently lost out alpha male in a fight, but things have calmed down now. I'm simply visiting you and your pack to see where my sister lives."

Kirrick was surprised to see the pups, and to hear of the new tiger addition. "Hello Magic, Jenny. I'm Kirrick, and this is my brother Draven." She was saddened to hear about the disappearance of Jake and Blackheart, but she was sure that they would turn up soon, just as she had.

"Well I went to visit Draven for a while. I was going to also see my sister, Lasota, and her children, but couldn't find her. My nephews, Riven and Tyran, have found their own packs, so I couldn't track them down either, and my neice, Illiya, always sticks with her mother. I'm sure I'll see them soon, though."

She was obviously upset that she hadn't seen her sister, her eyes clouded and her smile faded, but she tried her best to put on a mask. Draven sighed, muzzling his sisters neck in comfort, and she smiled gratefully but the quiet sorrow still hadn't left her eyes. "What about you? I know of the pups, but what else has happened here in my absence?"

Then she added, curiously, "You said you were going to choose an alpha female a while ago, did you pick someone while I was away?"

Jenny,Magic

Jenny a bit shy just nodded her head to Kirrick and Draven.She didn't know that Kirrick was already a member till now.Sitting she curled her tail to her side.

Magic smiled at Kirrick and Draven."Hello,"he said before becomeing silent again.

Starlight

Starlight was listening silently.Her ears perked when she mentioned a female alpha.She didn't know about one,but had Kahota pointed one in her absent while she was with Dionysus.She turned her head toward him and waited for him to answer Kirrick.Eyes shone a light blue.

Dionysus † Helios

Dionysus had decided to go and meet Kirrick along with the others. Helios was glad she was willing to let him explore and graciously climbed onto her huge back. unfortunatly it was so high that when looking at Dionysus from below you would never be able to see the little one.

Dionysus, still in terrible pain, let out a grunt and sprang forward soon setting a fast but leisurly pace along the beach.
