Austin

Austin, still bleeding from Dakota's attack, padded to the Ruins. His alpha had a way of being...completely insane. Still, he believed what she did was right, so never betrayed her. He knew as well that if he did betray her, he would face punishment. And that's never fun.
This time, Dakota had ordered him to get allies, for they were going to invade Kalaber's territory. For what? A former member of the Sombra Cazadores left and joined the Avengers, and Dakota would ensure that the traitor and her new pack would be punished. Obviously, she wasn't very merciful.
Austin stopped just outside of the Temple. "I am Austin of the Sombra Cazadores and I mean no harm." He first said. "My alpha requests your help for a certain task."

Lion, Kintanese, Zanfire, & Dandelion

The ebony hybrid was quick to respond to the potential threat of a stranger. "Follow me and learn." He said, speaking to the three young stags that had been choosen as future guards. They weren't quite adults yet, and had no antlers. But next year, they would be a force to reckon with.

"Who are you, and what is your business here?" Lion demanded, as the three young stags gathered around and slightly behind him. "You are in the land of the Shadow Haunters, so speak quickly!"

Austin

Austin bowed his head and raised it again. "I am Austin of the Sombra Cazadores - a hunting group - and I am requesting alliance. We have an enemy that must be taken care of. Kalaber is his name, I believe. Him and all who serve him." He explained quickly.

Risen

Stalking across the lands she spotted the new deer that were to help guard the warrior's lives. She gave them a nod of approval but when a trespasser came up seeking alliance, her attention faded from them and she moved closer to him. Her eyes flashing dangerously as she approached.

At the sound of Kalaber's name Risen's hackles rose up. Teeth flashed dangerously as she spoke from a perch just above those below her. "I wish to take part in this. but hope to make it a slaughter. My army is in no condition to fight, however, when is this plan going down?" She waited for an answer. Eager when to slaughter this enemy.

Lion, Kintanese, Zanfire, & Dandelion

About to speak, Lion snapped his maw shut when Risen's voice sounded above him. Likewise, the fawns remained silent as well and stood at attention. The four kept focus on Austin, ready to attack if he proved a threat to their leader.

Onslaught

Panting heavily, Onslaught slowed down to trot into the Ruins, casting glances behind him for his comrades. They had retreated after being overwhelmed by enemies and many had sustained injuries of somekind. Onslaught, however, had escaped unharmed. He heard voices, and so proceeded to follow them, and came across Austin and his fellow packmates, with Risen.

Silently, he came to stand beside Lion, in front of the deer guards, fixing the cat with a harsh glare.

Austin

Austin looked at Risen, nodding a greeting to her. "We will dispose of our enemy as soon as our army is assembled. And I hope you would help us." He explained, smiling in that friendly way of his.

Risen

Risen gave a grave nod. "Of course. It will be one less foe to worry about. Retrieve us when the battle starts, I will be sure to prep the warriors before hand." She woofed before turning her head toward the temple. She heard the sounds of others calling her, and she placed a smirk upon her face.

Turning back to the feline she gave the casual question, ready to answer any response. "Will that be all for now, Austin?" She gave a relax looked, contrasted by a dominantly raised head.

Austin

Austin bowed in respect. "Thank you for your help, Risen. I will alert you when it is time for war." He said calmly. "That is all." With that, he turned and left.

Risen .+. Ghoul .+. Gymba

She nodded to him as he left and then turned to address those inside the temple who were calling out to her.

Ghoul made his way back. His head low in disappointment. He didn't want to lose, and the fact of losing further pushed the fact that he was still young into his face. "I have much to learn." He mumbled to himself before looking up his brother. Ashamed to grow close to the hybrid. His mission was to save Tahti and he failed.

Moving past the group, he barely acknowledged the deer, moved into the temple and up the stairs to his room. Life had been exhausting and he needed his rest.

Those to follow him was Prisoner, who quickly paced herself into a trot. She whinnied out for the other horses before searching for a small patch of crass near the center of the ruins. Munching happily on the stalks of grass.

Joining her was Gymba, the mother growled out for her daughter and adoptive son. They must have been hungry for she had been gone longer than she expected.

To the mother's call came the feisty little rhino calf. "Mom!" she squealed before loping to the mother with a greeting nudge. Little time was wasted and the calf began to consume her fill of milk.

Alderon easily stepped out of the temple to see his mate. With a smile he called out to her, and with joy she called back. When he approached they gently nudged horns and nuzzled before taking to the ground for food.

The others who were in the fight had dispersed and made into their own ways. The Assassins made their way back into the shadows of the wild until further being called upon. Rasheetah took to resting in her room while the others moved off to help build the mote.

Mikia,Greda,Royal and Joe

Mikia had been off grazing when her ears flicked in prisoners direction she moved and soon stopped by her but didn't graze being full.

Greda she followed after. Nares flared She lowered her dial to graze

royal moved but just stood.

cain watched over his family.He stod tall and would protect all of the mares. How dare that stallion think that he could steal his family.

Joe he was quickly following the rhino calf and he immediatly went to drink and tried to becareful with his tusks.

Risen

Prisoner looked to Royal and called out to her, "I'm really sorry for my absence. I have been here on business due to the fight." she tried to explain. But as she went to open her mouth a second time the alpha showed up "Prisoner" She barked. The draft horse looked up to the wolf "We need outside lines into our group. I would like, when you are ready, for you to foal if you will. Our member count is still lower than it should be, and the equine count is one of th lowest." The mare nodded. "Yes mistress." She said before looking to Royal.

Suddenly, she felt as if she should ask her adopted daughter. "Do you mind?" She wanted her true opinion, preparing herself for the worst.

Risen looked to Mikia. Her expression softening a bit. "I understand you still have foals, but do you think you are ready for a second season? If not then you may wait." Prisoner had never foaled and was very well open. If Mikia wasn't ready for a second bunch, she wasn't going to be forced into it.

Mikia

She nickerred and looked up to risen.I am ready yes I love foalsShe spoke quietly.

Royal snorted and pawed the ground.I don't mind

Prisoner

Her eyes softened as her adopted daughter gave her word. Slowly she moved up to Royal and offered a loving nuzzle. She hadn't meant to be so absent.

She stayed for a moment before turning to Mikia "Let's go" She said before walking. Turning to the foals, looking directly to Royal, since she was the youngest. "Stay with Gymba and her children. They will protect you." With that she took off into an extended trot into a breeding area.

Mikia

Cain stay close to your sister pleaseShe said and then moved off.Greda was ready for a foal but mikia wanted her to wait another year.

cain and greda snorted.

royal noddeed.
