Shadow Hollow

[Froid]

Froid padded lightly through the cold, powdery snow. She sighed, her breath could be seen in front of her muzzle. She lowered her cranium to the terrain below and attempted to pick up the familiar scent of the den. The smell filled her nostrils with warmth and and cozy den. She was once again on the move. She decided to pick up some wood on the way, just incase the fire inside the den were to expire. They all needed the fire, if it were to go out, the freezing temperature would surely kill her.

[Sarria]

Sarria soon tredded through the ebony white snow near the pack's territory. Muzzle lifted and smelled for the den's familiar scent. As she was running she came forth and saw a large deer. She quickly thought it would be propor of her to kill it and bring it to the den since it was on the way, plus she didn't know if there was still any prey laying around in the den any longer for them to eat. With the harsh weather as there was she didn't want to risk them having nothing as prey in these weather conditions were scarce. With a bound behind the deer she landed on it's back and clasped her claws into the deer and bit into it's neck trying to kill it. The deer lept around but soon had lost enough blood to where it fell. She kept her muzzle holding it firm and started on back towards the den picking up it's scent once more.

[kurousagi]

Kuro trudged through the snow, trying to find either wood or prey. Neither was easily found. After minutes of trying to find either she walked slowly yet briskly to the den. She lifted her muzzle trying to catch scent of the den. She caught the distinct scent of the pack's den and started off to that direction. Along the way she caught sight of something bounding through the barren wasteland. She ran towards it, hoping it to be prey. She caught up with it and leaped upon it and tumbled throught the powdery white snow. She saw it to be a rabbit and quickly clamped her jaws around it's neck. After killing it, she tried to catch smell of the pack's den but couldn't find it. She began to panic and looked around frantically to see if she knew any of the smells around but without sucess. Slowly she walked back from the direction she came from, hopefully, with the rabbit hanging in her mouth.

Milo looked at her surroundings. Snow, snow, and more snow. A while back, she'd lost her sense of direction and smell, and neither would have mattered for she was nowhere near where she was supposed to be. Her tail dragged behind her, making a line, she'd followed the line backwards to try and find where she had come from, but the snow seemed to wipe it over within mere minutes of when the trail had been made. She looked up to the sky with her ears drooping and gave a long, lost howl.

[Froid]

Froid continued to pad through the powdered terrain. harks in the full upward position, listening to the surroundings. She suddenly stopped in her tracks and lifted her head. The den was in view, she looked around for some last pieces of Firewood, and grasped them in her massive jaws. She then broke off into a full sprint and extended her great black Dragon wings to catch more speed. She continued to sprint, going at such a speed she was nearly flying there. When she finally arrived she was exhausted. She went inside to find that the fire was nearly expired. She quickly trotted over to it ind dropped the mass of firewood upon itm then stepped back. The fire grew twice in size and soon the den was warm and cozy. She stepped back outside and emitted a calling howl, to notifiy everyone that she had made it to the den. She howled a second time to help those who had lost their way find it once more.

[Sarria]

Sarria was tredding near the den when she halted at hearing the alpha's howl. With that the femora howled back to Froid awaring her that she was quite near and had brought down a large helping of meat for everyone. Now that Sar knew Froid was in the area she ran faster. She dodged every obstacle and lept over a log getting her hind leg caught. She emitted a loud howl calling for help. As the hind leg was caught inbetween a holw in the log and couldn't move. She got comfortable as she could and howled once more making sure all of her pack could hear. She felt hungry but knew she had to respect the pack rules of eating third because of her ranking. She pushes it a little farther away using her muzzle so it wouldn't tempt her as much as she awaited the pack.

[kurousagi]

Kuro was padding slowly through the snowy wasteland when she heard the alpha's distinct howl. She started to run, knowing where to go. She bounded over snow with the rabbit still hanging in her jaws. Her harks raised hearing a distressed howl coming from the beta. She started to run towards that direction to help her out. She finally saw the wolf who gave the call. She walked over to her and peared at her questioningly. She looked around and saw that she had killed a deer but ignored it. "How in the world did you manage this? Do you need some help?" she asked the beta in sheer confusion and curiosity.

[albireoiv]

Milo heard the strong call of the Alpha as it echoed across the terrain. She was now at a total loss, it had come from behind her, but from which way? Milo dragged her feet and turned around, going opposite of the still echoing howl. Another painful howl came and echoed through the sky, but Milo ignored it, even if she had known where to find it's source, she had a duty to get back to the pack as quickly as possible. She ran onwards, hoping that she'd reach the pack before it was too late. Her lungs felt like they were cracking as the biting cold air seemed to be hammering them into pieces. After several painful hours, she found herself before the entrance of the den, she was about to step in when she collapsed pitifully to the ground.

[chouji]

Profound vocal summoning of the alpha seemed to bring the sound's vibrations clustered in the verdant forest's complex. Lush mohagony audits gave a shudder as a response to unvoluntary movement, ear drums picking up the distinctive dialect. Cranium twisting 'round to follow the appointed direction, clearing the acute confound tempest that flowed in the average aged femora. Torso turned to angle the head's position, and paws drew out subsequently to thrust foward the sleek body supported by such limbs. Hocks tighted as she gradually picked up speed, though keeping it at a slight neutral, as ears pressed back close to her ashen plumage so closely that small tuffs of fur filled out the nich'es of her skull.

[Froid]

Froid turned to see a fellow pack member colapsed by the entrance of the den. She trotted over and urged her towards the fire to rest. She then heard the Betas distress call, her auds perked and she ran outside. "I'll be right back" She said. Spreading her massive wings she broke off into a sprint, frame beginning to become airborn. Once she was high enough she scaned and sniffed the air. Picking up a scent, she looked down and sure enough saw the Beta below. She pinned her massive wings against her body and went into a dive towards the terrain below. The winds blowing though her face, and ground coming up quick. Just when she was about to hit the floor, she extended her wings and did a short swoop upwards, then landed back down with a loud crash, alomost shifting the rocks below. She observed the Beta, then the log that denyed her eager escape. As she approached, she caught sight of the large deer the Beta had caught. She smiled and walked over to the Beta. She clenched the log in her jaws and lefted it off of the Beta leg gentally, setting it down elsewere. "Are you strong enough to walk? Or do you need a lift to the den?" She would kindly question the Beta.

[Sarria]

Sarria slowly sat up on her haunches leaving the wounded one hung out to theside not to put pressure on it. She didn't speak of the leg at the time and only bowed to the alphess showing her great amount of respect towards her. Then after she had done so she began to speak, "I appreciate your offer, but before I take you up on it, I would prefer trying to walk." Using her mitt she reached over and picked up some large, iced leaves and wrapped them around her hind leg to make somewhat of a cast or barce, then selected a long piece of grass that was pretty thick and tied it around the leg and leaves. The leaves kept her leg cool, as seeing when you gain a wound, soon after it begins to feel hot. She stood up taking seventeens minutes to do it then used her good hind leg to position the leg as to where it wouldn't touch the ground and sting it with pain. Then using her muzzle she flung the deer up onto her back and began to limp on towards the den. Sarria had been without a pack a long time and so, had to have learned what she had not able to count on others, now knowing she could count on her pack members and they could count on her.

[kurousagi]

Kuro looked up hearing massive wind churns from above her and saw the alpha of the pack coming towards them. Soon the leader landed and quickly freed the beta from the log entrapping her. She looked at the log in shock, at how easily she moved the log. She looked around wearily and decided to head towards the pack den. She grabbed the rabbit with her jaws and picked up the pack den's scent. She slowly headed off towards the den, now that she knew where to go. She soon found the den entrance and bounded in. She looked around and saw one of her pack mates laying near the fire. She layed the rabbit down and sat near the fire, somewhat close to the hunter.

[Froid]

Froid gazed at the Beta with praise. She was surprised that she pushed herself in such a manor. She caught up with the Beta, now walking beside her. "Are you sure your ok? I will take that deer of your hands and carry it back to the den, if not, you should at least have a bite of it to gain some energy." She questioned the Beta as she continued to walk beside her. Froid watched the Beta's leg with interest, she had wrapped it so tenderly, knowing what to do the moment it happened. She was surely an expert. She continued to slowly walk beside the injured Beta, awaiting her reply, she folded her wings as they walked, she could eaisly carry the both of them on her massive shoulders.

[Sarria]

Sarria shook her crania softly, "I will be fine, but once again I really do appreciate you're offer," she sad with a calm tone in her voice having delt with cases like this many times. Keeping her leg in position she jumped getting the meat more centered on her back for easier carrying. She stopped for a brief moment to check to make sure that the leaves and grass strand were holding well and it seemed as they were. As she walked she started to humm a bit to take her mind off of the leg, though it bled a bit and had a bit of a stinging feeling. Sarria knew that the alphess was very capable of many things of flying her and both the dead carcass and many more but, Sarria easily felt like a burden and if she got herself into something, she wanted to get herself out unless it came to as where she could not handle the situation herself.

[Froid]

Froid sighed, knowing the Beta could handle the situation herself. "Alright, if you say so. If you need me just howl, I will meet you back at the den." And with that she braoke off into a sprint and spread her dragon wings. Her frame rose up higher and higher into the sky. The sun was still shining bright, and with its rays reflecting off of the white snow, it could blind one if not careful. As she flew higher, the atmoshere grew thiner, and she began to have a hard time breathing. She flew lower untill freash air poured into her lungs once again. She flew untill the den was in sight, then she began to fly in large circles, lowering herself each time. Soon enough, she walked into the den and awaited the Beta's return.
