Curren sat up. "Well, Akime howled to gather wolves to go hunting." He explained. "She also brought a wolf into the territory from the Nothing, and I had Xylon escort the wolf back to the Nothing. Akime is now in danger of being hunted down and killed." He shook his head at the thought. "She went into the nothing."

--

Akime nodded. On three...  She thought. She crept closer, her steps becoming slower and more quiet as the Elk became closer and closer. She turned her head back to Kanya and Svali, and mouthed the word 'One.' She then watched the injured elk with impatient amber eyes, planning her attack.

Bangle looked at Ohjain, and one of his ears went flat to his head. "Thank me? For what?" He asked. "All I did was growl."

Lythia sat down. Hopefully Krael would have some respect for other wolves now instead of picking on lower ranked wolves, especially Aerya.

Ohjain shrugged. "Well, you just stook up for us I guess." Haji thought the same thing as Lythia.

"Two." Kanya whispered as she stalked closer to her prey.

((Oreos. Sorry to interrupt, but this seems like a great thread. Can I join as an outcast that wandered into Kohzar territory and got hunted into Redwood territory? That way, it wouldn't matter as much if I didn't recognise peoples personalities or strengths or things that have already happened. Plus, Redwood could get an Omega. If I can join, here's my bio.))

Name: Aristotelis

Age:12 moons

Gender:Male

Looks:Average-sized snowy coloured wolf with quite large paws. Golden eyes.

Pack:Redwood

Rank:Omega

Personality:Dark. Reclusive. Keeps to himself, but follows orders till the end.

History: Hasn't spoken of it yet.

Crush: Open

Other: Hates all Kohzars with a vengeance.

((Is it ok if I have just the one? I'm not so good at keeping track of them all yet... I got a male to kind of even it out and make that fair, since I'm a girl. Again, sorry for interrupting.))

((YT: 4 moons is 4 months, right? Because a wolf is at its full size at 9 months, and is considered a full grown adult at 2 years.))

Xylon nodded in silent agreement to what Curren had said.

 'Three,' mouthed Svali, then sprang after the elk, her lithe form trailing just inches behind it as it fled. She fought the urge to turn and see if the others were following. They are, don't look back or the elk'll escape. she thought.

~~~

Krael lay in a pitiful heap on the ground, licking gingerly at the wounds he had sustained.  

~~~ 

Aerya padded silently towards Bangle, Ohjain, and Lythia. She dipped her head, and without looking at any of them, said "What was that all about? It looked like a pretty vicious fight. Are you three okay?"  

Ohjain shrugged. "Just a test to see who's the tougher wolf, I guess." He answered Aerya. "We're all okay."

~

Kanya sprang toward the elk, and ahead of Svali. She bit the elk's hind leg, the limping one. The elk pitifully went down. It wasn't quite dead yet.

"That's good," Aerya said, looking up at the wolves now, but not daring to look them in the eye. She wanted to ask Bangle about what had happened earlier, but she didn't think anyone was supposed to know, so she kept quiet. I will get another opportunity, I know it, she thought.

~~~

((I think we should wait for Kupa before we kill it)) 

Rhazet blinked incredulously. "She went into the Nothing?" she asked disbelievingly. Rhazet would have liked to comment that that was quite a brave act, but Curren didn't look like he would agree. That was before she realized the Alpha had also said that Akime would be killed. "Oh," she whispered, considering that fact. "You wouldn't let that happen, will you?" she asked, although it was evident that the Alpha would be able to do nothing if the Kohzars wished to stick to their rules. Her fur bristled at the thought of the Kohzars attacking one of her packmates, and she promised herself she would do everything in her power to keep Akime safe. Rhazet gave the Alpha and Beta a last dip of the head and got up and loped away in the direction of the hunting grounds.

Azrul-Ryne quietly trotted over to Krael and dropped near him a clump of herbs he had just dug up. "You might find these useful." he said, with a trace of contempt in his voice. "By the way, next time don't get so cocky." A smirk appeared in his dark face. "It really is shameful tol see the head fighter in tatters after a tussle with three of his own pack members."

(( Yeash ))

Haji nodded. 

(( Flail... ))

Xylon watched as Rhazet ran off. He dipped his head once more to Curren before walking off himself. 

((Fail)) 

~~~

Krael stood up as soon as he saw Ryne. Ignoring the herbs altogether, he said "I have a right to be cocky. I am a good fighter," he looked Ryne directly in the eyes. Realizing that the fight he had just been in didn't exactly do anything to prove his claim, Krael added, "That fight wasn't exactly fair, I was outnumbered three to one. I can hold my own in any fight so long as it is... even." His stance was defensive as he spoke, and his amber eyes glinted angrily.

Haji watched Lythia walk away, and walked in the oppisate way like nothing had happened. He chuckled when he remembered how "strong" Krael was.

"Good job guys." Kanya nodded to the wolves.She thought for a moment. "How are we gonna bring this back to Redwood?"

[[Ok. Thanks. ^-^ I'll just post him wandering aimlessly around and smelling blood off an elk. If thats ok.]]

Ari walked. He had never lived so long on his own, and missed the company of other wolves. Nore had he ever gone without food for so long; looking back, he realized he could see his ribs. I'm on my last ounce of strength,he decided. He knew that he was too weak to go on another hunt, and all his previous attempts had failed. He had very few options left, and all of them relied upon chance. He migh get lucky, find a dying elk. Or a dead one might be better. But he'd never be able to fight off any other predators that came to steal his kill. He might happen upon another loner that was willing to spare some food. But loners were outcasts for a reason. The loner would most likely kill him, just to give himself something to do. He sighed as he realized his only hope was to find a friendly pack, willing to take in a wolf they don't know, from  a pack they don't know. He realized it was futile and was about to collapse when he smelt something. He stuck his nose in the air, this new smell giving him hope. Blood. He started to lope towards it, but quickly collapsed. He staggered to his feet, determined to make it to this blood. It would either be food or another wolf. Either way, he had to try.
But just in case... He howled. A long, low, piercing howl that would send shivvers down your spine. Collapsing again, he stumbled to his feet and mde his way forward at an agonizingly slow pace.
