Cavalier && Rouge

Like A Knight In Shinning Armour

The silvery hunter crossed the borders into the canyon, nose in the air. Something didn't quite sit right with him. His cerulean pools, a genetic mutation common among Danger's kin, narrowing cautiously. He called out to his sister and moments later the femme appeared at his side. The two identical siblings exchanged wondering glances before pressing on. Rouge threw her cranium back, calling out Blazed, Vindari, her remaining two siblings, Heero . . Anyone. Cav mixed his deep baritone with his sister's beckoning mezzo-soprano. As Blazed's eldest offspring and heirs to their share of the canyon, they needed to know what had happened. Rouge's uncanny sense of smell told her of three new feminine scents, one a pup. The strange information she picked up from the scents piqued her curiosity as well as her brother's.

Chessa

The small American white shepherd pup had began to follow Risen, but she found Risen to be too nice for her liking. Something was up with her, and since she lied to Blazed and Vindari, Chessa did not wish to follow. She bought up the rear of the group and dived into the bushes when Risen and Betrayal weren't looking. She had bolted for it when Risen was out of sight, into Blazed's lands. She knew she was taking a huge risk with this, but she couldn't go with Risen. The pup soon collapsed, exhausted, in some long grass not too far from Cavalier and Rouge. She was downwind of them both and they could not have heard her, she was too far away. For now she just lay in the grass, silently, trying to get her breath back. She did not notice the two adults until Rouge howled to Blazed. Unable to run any further, Chessa fell silent, and lay down flat against the earth, trying not to be spotted in fear of being killed for what Blazed might think of as "Trespassing".

VINDARI

Vindari's twin peaks rotated atop her finely crafted cranium and drank in the siblings' searching call. She tossed her response into the warm canyon air and started off briskly in their direction. She had much to fill them in on, and by the looks of it, they were concerned about things already passed. Her porcelain coat glimmered with health in the mi-afternoon sun, in spite of the fact she and the pack had not eaten recently. Maybe it was time to suggest another pack hunt? Blazed would most certainly concur. Her keen snout picked up Chessa's whereabouts well before she actually saw her. The poor thing! She was hiding . . . Wait! Why was she hiding here? A warm inquiring smile decorated her features as she came up beside the lass. A myriad of questions rose in her throat, but she limited them to just a few.

Chessa! What's wrong? Did you leave them? Where's your brother?"

True concern laced the edges of her queries as she tried to figure this out. If she was here, where was Litharaz? Her fierce dislike of Risen swelled in her chest as she thought back to the recent events. She glanced up and put forth a gentle call to Cavalier and Rouge, informing them of her situation. When she finished, she turned her soft azure eyes back down to Chessa, questioning and concern showing through.
