The Acarnanian Den

First topic message reminder :

The Acarnanian Den is found in the heart of our territory. Beauty is this areas middle name. Not only is their plenty of caribou and hares, a large body of water lies close by. It is a wonderful area to hide away and enjoy nature and its lush green woods.

Night could feel everyone's presence, but her paws were flailing in every direction, trying to get a bit of sense of the air around her. Melted in with the rumbling of the avalanche, Night managed to pick out the sound of water. Smiling, she thanked her instincts for guiding her correctly. And within seconds, she felt the liquid surrounding her. And then darknes and silence overtaking the world. And then there was pressure above her, forcing her deeper and deeper as the snow crashed into the water. She knew their troubles weren't over yet..

Talon howled breifly as he made contact with the water, he could spot a white form floating near him and he guessed it was Fear. Swimming underneath her he pushed up with strong strokes seeing they had nearly made it he gave one final stroke and they broke free of the water, Talon sucked in the air greedily looking around quickly to see if he could find his packmates.

As Night surfaced gasping for air, she drank eagerly, filling her lungs with the crisp substance. The current of this a her was stronger them she had hoped, and as her paws faught against the forceful waves, she could feel the exhaustion overtaking her muscles. Panting, a large current if water swept over her head and pulled her down. As she broke free once more her muzzle was drowned full of water, only to cage her lungs against the breathless liquid.

(Alxa, where ina dangrous river fighting for our lives. I thought you were going to ask the rabbit where the pack was xD)
Talon was washed against a rock he pushed himself off whilst grunting. His quick eyes spotted a ledge and he used the last of his strength to jump to it. Talon lay his head on the ledge with the front half of his body dangling off the edge, alon scrambled up; digging his claws into the ock and heaving himself up onto it

Kiba dashed after Rye, feeling a sudden need to run. He stopped and closed his eyes, he couldn't believe his eyes. An avalanche had engulfed the mountain side, leaving nothing but white which stopped at the edge of a steep cliff. He oepened his crystal eyes and started to shout, "Night, Demo, Fear!" Kiba sighed, not hearing any answer.

Nights eyes were wild with fear. She couldn't remember the last time horror had sank its teeth into her, and this time it has penetrated through all her instincts only to leave her with blind terror. She didn't know where anyone else was, except for the fact that she hoped they were all alive. Trying to focus on survival, she snarled as her muzzle was pulled under once more, only to be struck in the head by a passing rock. Breaking to the surface again, her vision was blurry and her head pounding.

Panic shot through Night as she struggled to claw at the slick rocks barely reachable. Panting and exhausted, her limbs were screaming at her to spot fighting. Soon she had no choice. She let her aching body slip into the current as it swept her around the rocks. They need to stop fighting it.. her thoughts raced. But her lungs were full of water and she could do nothing more then cry out with anguish.

Nights ears were thrumming with the wild pulse of her blood. Her mind was somewhere else, somewhere warm and dry where she lay on a grassy bank allowing the heat of the sun to cool her exhausted body. Allowing the river to place her on a resting bed somewhere peaceful.. but as Night sucked in a weak breath, she was slammed back into reality. The water around her was like ice, nipping at her numbing skin and pressing against her exhausted lungs. The Egetes knew she could let go and be washed up somewhere unharmed, but as she heard the distant rumbling of the falls, her instinct was to fight.

Her paws faught against the wild current, her legs cutting through the liquid. Here and there she could feel her claws skim a rock or log on the bottom, but it was too hard to securely grab onto. With a wild howl, she flung all her energy at the banks edge, clawing desperately at the loose and crumbling mud and soil. With a grunt, she lay half in and half out. The currents tugging at her fur.

Alexa jumped up and quickly grabbed the wolf by the neck, gently. She pulled up and helped the female up. She smiled and launched to the next boulder. She gently shook her fur and waited for the other female to come over.

(Writer's block :/ )

Yahto looked at the wolves by the shore from behind a large boulder. A white female was stalking a brown one, and the rest of the pack, he assumed, was gathered on the shore a ways away from him. 'Now is as good a time as any, I guess.' He thought.

Yahto poked his head above the boulder and barked quietly to get the attention of the wolves, 'I hope their friendly,' the male thought to himself. He stepped away from the boulder with caution, attempting to join a new pack was dangerous, especially if they didn't want new members.

Talon lookd up from where he standing, he ssaw the lonr and padded up beside Night wondeing what this loner wanted. Talon calmed himself so as to not scare the other wolf He chuckled to himself and thought 'smooth move Fear'

Ameerie had trotted up beside Talon; going to ask what was going on, but instead she stayed quietly beside him, and watch to see what happens.Ameerie's crystal blue eyes glimmered as she looked at her friends, she already knew Fear hadn't liked lone wolves.. Ameerie couldn't agree more with her friend.

"No, I don't need help, but I think you might. I know wolves don't like admitting that they need it, but I am very happy to give it." Yahto bowed submissively. This wolf was with the pack and if the loner male was seen as a threat he wouldn't make it very far.

"I do believe that female is rather uneasy over my arrial, may I ask her name?" he inquired softly.

Night laughed quietly at this new males question. "This is Fear.." she said smiling weakly. Her legs still felt like rubber, and as she stood, she winced silently. "And I'm Night, the packs leader" before going on, Night nodded an approval to Fear and quietly thanked for her help. She felt fine, aside from her lacking sleep, soar body, and aching limbs. Padding up to this new loner, the black wolf saw no threat in him. "What can we offer you?" Night finally inquired, after fulling looking over this new wolf before her.

A little irritated with Fears attitude, Night bared her fangs at the white female. "Quit!" Night growled quietly. Still exhausted from their nightmare in the rapids, Night wasn't prepared to deal with Fears short temper. Flicking her ears at the sound of Rye, the female quickly faced him. Relieved to see them both safe and now, here with the pack. Not commenting, the Egetes passed a smile in their direction and wagged her tail lightly.

Remembering the new loners arrival, Night motioned for Fear to find something better to do then express her dislike for this new wolf.

Yahto looked at Night, then at Fear, "Fear, I promise that if I do any harm to this pack on purpose I shall allow you to personally rip out my throat and throw me in this water." he said calmly, truly honest. "And to Night, you may offer me only what you wish, but sanctuary would be greatly accepted, perhaps a rank and a family as well?" Yahto spoke lightly and respectfully to the alpha and dipped his head at Fear and the ebony female.

Talon grunted at Fear and said 'she's always this hotheaded' he got up and trotted towards the new wolf, he sniffed him quickly then said 'you know, you don't have to go into so much detail' Talon headed off afte Fear and said to Night 'i'll try calm he down'

Night growled quietly at Fear's ignorance and rolled her eyes, knowing Fear far too well to be able to nag at her for her behavior. It would be no use. Brushing it off, Night peered at both these new wolves. "Welcome then. We need more members anyway. You can call me Night" flicking her ears, the Egetes ignored any possible glances from Fear and bowed an acceptance to the two wolves.
