Tahti/Aurinka

Tahti was losing consciousness as she walked back to the Temple. Her right eye was nearly gouged out, and her face was bleeding. She collapsed on the ground. "I'm sorry, Risen!" She called out. "I have let you down!"

"Mom...No! Mom!" Cried Aurinka as she rushed to her mother. "I will fix you, Mom." She thought for a moment, then called out, "Deer! I need your help!" By deer she meant Quil, who she knew was a healer. She herself was only a new, young healer and had a lot to learn.

Risen and others.

Risen snarled, turning to the group. "Warriors fallow. Mothers, stay with the cubs. Healers stay here as well. Assassins, stay and protect as well as Converters. Messangers come. Children, this will be your first taste of war."

She had said it so quickly, the others scrambled and double took to know what was going on. Villain and the assassins moved to the door to guard. Herding the deer, bird and pup into their protection. Ynear called to the pups. Telling them to gather around her.

Sacrifice shook her head to relieve confusion and headed out. Silver Trace limped along, as did Shattered. Both would be back-up. Iota growled and stromed along with them, Ghoul smiled with the thought of killing, although he was to young, he was ready to try.

Incalia & Onslaught

The pair followed the others out of the temple, to the Marsh.

Nymph

Nypmh leaned down to grasp Snowfall gently in her jaws, lifting her high above the ground as she trotted over to Ynear. She used her large paws, more gently this time, to help gather the pups and kits toward herself and Ynear. As soon as the Assasins had taken their place to guard, she set Snowfall back down in the fold of her embrace, purring a little song for her.

When darkness gathers in the lake
Think of calmness, soft and sweet
And I will guard you til you wake
From the dreamfullness of sleep.

Remember fondly days gone by
Remember often, loved and still.
And sleep on dreams spread 'cross the sky
Sleep and be fulfilled.

When darkness gathers round you
And you have no one to turn to
Come running to me
'Cause I'll always be
Your protector, your guide, your friend.

Snowfall

Snowfall grunted as the lioness picked her up, though she did not squirm. As soon as she was snuggled in tight she lisened to her friend's song. Her eyelids grew heavier with each verse and by the last one, she was fast asleep, curled into the lioness's body.

Ynear .+. Runi .+. Hazard .+. Temptation .+. Fawn

Ynear quickly began to herd all of the pups near Nymph, Giving a relieved smile that she had some help now. Settling down she began to groom Temptation and watched the others. This load was much smaller than the last, though when Vicious revealed the news about what he had heard, there would be a lot more little ones.

Temptation sat their quietly with a sour look on her face. Hazard could only smirk at his sister's discomfort, then looked around for his brother. Where had Belial gone to. His search did not last long for he moved toward the older pup, Hostage. This one was only a few days older than Kage's pups, But still older none-the-less. "Hey there, I don't think I caught your name" He gave a content smile to the other. As a male would to any other male. "What do you think you will be when you grow up? I think I'm going to be a Warrior." He smiled proudly, quiet pleased with his choice.

Temptation growled from her grooming, "I'm going the be a converter. Persuade naughty little boys with my charm." She giggled softly, wagging her tail. Golden-silver eyes staring at the two males, Flashing particularly Hostage.

If the war had not been happening, would these two fortunates have found each other? Runi walked in, a white borzoi-wolf hybrid, her sapphire blue eyes darting around, she had only caughten the conversation from outside but was able to decide that she wanted to join and she wanted to be a Mother. But before she could say anything the pack had left. So here she was, moving into a hungry den toward the mothers.

Halabex eyed her and growled. "What harm do you seek us." Runi shook her head submissivly. "I-I only wish to join. I would like to help mother the kids." Her eyes looked timidly toward the two females then back. She had no evil intentions, nothing up her sleeve. Halabex nodded but before Runi could enter another came. A Dingo-wolf hybrid. Her eyes narrowed on Runi for a moment then her tail began to wag. "R-Runi?" She smiled.

The white hybrid turned to see her un-named 'sister' and her tail began to wag as well. "Oh my." The yellow one barked up. "Fawn." she informed, letting her know she now had a name. Both said no more and nuzzled one another. It had been so long since they last saw each other. After greetings and catch ups, Fawn asked Halabex if she could be a healer. "You may both stay here under supervision until the alphen gets back." With the granted pass, the two entered and laid near the pups. Giving a genger "Hello" To both the Mother's and the pups.

Hostage

His eyes flickered towards Kage's pups, and a dark smirk crossed his black lips. Aye, a warrior I shall be. His tail began to wag a bit, but it was no more then thrice. He glanced towards Temptation, and gave her one of his devilish smirks before his eyes turned to his sleeping sister. Only for her was there a soft spot in his heart, only for her. These others, they didn't know just yet what was inside of him. Hell, he didn't even know what was inside of him but he could feel it. That burning feeling, like something trying to break free. It grew harder and harder each day to make it go away.

Snowfall

The sleeping Snowfall stirred a bit. A horrible nightmare raged through her tinky head. Hatred, war, and evil. She whimpered and curled into a tighter ball. This nightmare seemed so...real. Like it was going to be her lifestyle. Her eyes shot open at last and she padded to Nymph's head. "Hello, Nymph," she squeaked to the lioness.

Nymph

Nymph smiled down at Snowfall, proceeding to wash her as though she were a kit. It seemed to her that wolves had to be dirty things, for they did not wash their children very much. Hello, sweetheart. Why so grim? Did the dream-demons come for you? Never fear, dreams are only dreams. They cannot hurt you. She had never become familiar with the term "nightmare", and had always called them dream-demons. She continued to groom Snowfall, purring softly at the back of her throat. It was a sound that always soothed young kits, and, with time, Snowfall would be soothed by it as well, when she learned what it meant.

Snowfall

Snowfall nodded. "Yes, the dream-demons came after me." She leaned into the bath, it felt so good. Nymph was almost like a mother already. Her purr comforted Snowfall. But a nagging in her mind about Hostage came out. What was it?

Hazard .+. Temptation .+. Ynear

Hazard smiled widely at Hostage's responce. "Aye, we should fight side by side. Show that little 'pup and kitty' group who's boss huh? They think they are so good. Look at their numbers, it's a sign of weakness. I could fight off a whole pack of wolves by myself." "Pahaha" Came the laughter of Temptation after her brother's comment. "You couldn't fight off a group of rabits." "Shut your pie whole." Growled Hazard as his attention turned back to what he was hoping could be a fight partner. Awe, so dark he was, but Hazard had a different appeal. Joy in the tormenting thoughts of killing others and bathing in their deaths.

Temptation just growled after the stupid comment of her brother and continued to recieve her bath. It would make her coat prettier, that's all she wanted.
