Cavan, Nachi, Geinah, Huerosan, Dawn, Monarda, & Bergamot

Enlisting the help of his sister and Monarda, Cavan began to tote the pups from the basement and take them to Dima's Temple. With Geinah hanging from his jaws, the scarred brute entered the water and paddled across towards the safe house. Geinah panicked as water engulfed her, but Cavan was mindful enough to keep his daughter's head above the brackish surface.

Coming ashore, he set Geinah down in the starewell. He wouldn't take her upstairs until the Mothers arrived to help gaurd from aerial attacks. "Dima! Be on your highest guard, we are at war!"

Dima had watched the beta enter the water, though he remained half-submerged in a patch of thick algea. It wasn't until Cavan outright spoke to him that the alligator glided towards the staircase. "No one will get pass me if they are not of Haunter origin." He assured.

Soon, Nachi entered the water, carring Huerosan across. Directly behind her was Monarda, enjoying a precious few moments as she toted her own daughter, Dawn, across the pool. Waiting for his ride over was Bergamot, sitting obediently at the edge of the water as his mother had instructed him.

Coriscan, Warfell, Panther, & Angel

Under Cavan's orders, the four headed for the Temple. As they entered the waters, Coriscan took hold of Bergamot and escorted the pup across the deep waters.

Together, the Lurker cousins scrambled ashore and packed into the narrow staircase. While Destroying Angel and Panther sat at the top of the stairs, Coriscan and Warfell sat at the bottom, with the pups in between. Shoulder to shoulder, each pair effectively blocked the narrow passageway.

Nymph*Ard-RaI

Giving a momentary glance of distaste to the swirling water, Nymph loaded Ard-Rai's waiting back with three pups, placing three more on her own back before sliding easily into the water and heading across with the caiman. As they came up on dry land, Nymph grabbed up the loaded pups, depositing them on the ground gently before moving away to shake her fur out. God, she hated water. Finally, she moved back toward everyone, voice soft. Everyone here?

Ard-Rai pulled up beside the platform, though he remained in the water, a last defense if the enemy got past the barricaded path and decided to take their chances at a swim.

Orinoco/Hector/Sekunti

Orinoco looked up at the canines. "If an outsider dares to come in here I will rip his flesh from the bone." She growled, coming up beside Ard-Rai and nudging him gently with her snout.

Hector looked down into the water. "Oh boy are those the dragons?!" He had a way of saying 'oh boy' when he was excited. Sekunti crouched low to the ground. "I think they are..." She whispered.

Ynear .+. Pups .+. Gymba .+. Yzunala

The black she-wolf came in with the tiny Anathema hanging from her mouth. As she submerged into the water she walked up the stairs and placed the helpless pup at the top where the others were gathering. Then moved down and helped gather the rest until all where on the other side. "Head up to the balcony children, we will be safest up there." She told them all.

Demolition and Violence moved up to the balcony slowly. They didn't much understand what the big deal was. A war, so what? The Haunters were strong enough. Or so they thought.

Havik moved up the stair way with grace behind him. As he got to the top he moved to the open ended balcony and looked down toward the water. "Wow, we're so high up." He smiled. Riot came up beside him and looked down as well, giving her tail a few wags and laughing. "I bet it would hurt to fall..." With the comment she swiftly moved away from the edge and toward the middle of the platform.

Tumult growled beneath himself as he made his way up then found a corner to sit in. The corner Anathema was in. "This is so low grade." He growled to himself then looked to the pup. Anathema had heard the vibrations of his voice and looked toward him. Though her eyes were all but on him. She opened her mouth, then closed it and lowered her head back down. "A girl of few words... I understand.." He said and lowered his own head to the ground.

Fragile chose the corner opposing her brother. Licking her lips before laying down. "So are we gonna play a game?" She asked wagging her tail somewhat inviting.

Gymba slowly treaded toward the water, although she stopped outside of the croc made lake. Standing just by the shore she looked to the baby rhino and little elephant. "If danger comes I want you to move into the shallows alright? The water reptiles will keep you safe." She said to them.

Yzunala nodded to her mother and looked to Joe. Lifting her head she bumped him on the shoulder and began to run around a bit."Tag! your it" she said moving to the shallows of the water to cool her feet then around to a small patch of grass.

Notorious, Misery, Omen, Kaos

Notorious, Misery and Omen all stood along the opposite edge of the water, looking down into the dark yet clear liquid. Completely unlike Misery, who was staring down into the water in awe, her two brothers were threatening to push each other in. "No, you'll go first!" Notorious shot back to his brothers last words, and then aimed a swift paw for Omen's face. This almost sent him toppling over but he caught himself with a shriek, and darted off toward the indicated balcony. Notorious was right on his heels, snapping those little puppy teeth at his brother's rump. Soon they were standing atop the balcony, but the height wasn't on their mind. The two siblings began bickering, Omen mostly, about what had happened; Omen being 'chicken' and Notorious being 'mean'.
It took a moment but Misery soon caught on to what was going. She strode quickly up after her brothers, watching with mild interest as they continued with their scuffle. She sat not far from them, her eyes fixed on the waters below.

Kaos hadn't gone with the others since he had been hanging around the little fight with Flak, but he figured it just as well to stay behind and check up on things, whatever they may be. So he stuck nearby, simply watching with his two-toned eyes as the pups were moved across and were situated on the opposite side.

Orinoco

The caiman looked up at the pups from the water. "Good evening, children. I am Orinoco. How are all of you today?" She greeted them politely. She watched them for a while, then looked at Ard-Rai. They had become good friends, she thought.
