The Koti Den

Shadow padded out of the den almost as soon as she went in to check if the pup, Yoki, was safe. The white wolf proceeded to pace around the den site, occasionally lifting her paw to shake off the snow. Looking around a flicker of movement caught her eye. The familiar grey wolf was sitting by his den eating his fresh meal. Scenting the air, Shadow detected traces of hare woven into Siren’s scent. Waiting for the Doyen to have eaten his meal, Shadow slowly padded forward toward the grey wolf. “Nice meal?” The white wolf asked as she approached.

Dark growled as the two wolves came to his side, he flicked his torn ear when the first one asked his name, 'Dark...' he grumbled, his tail dragging in the snow

Arrow padeds into the den sight his massive paws makeing foot prints in the white snow he stops seeing a large male he tilts his brod head not knowing who it is. H shruges and walks on seeing the pure white pelt of shadow and gray pelt of siren. he goes to his den for a short rest

In great surprise, Amethyst traveled from where she was back to the Koti den. She had no idea of where her best friend was. Although it was a very very long way back, she tried her best to find the scent of the other wolves. Her breathing was very fast as she continued to run in a very far distance. Her heart began to race. By the time she was halfway there, she was all out of breath. Her tail quivered a little bit, but it was just a sign that she was out of breath and that she needed to catch it before traveling further. She layed down on the ground. Her claws sank kinda deep into the ground, hoping to gain her energy back. In desperate hope of getting energy back, she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

As Solace Felt Yet Alone, she proceeded to look among the verdure hue canopy. giving a soft whine she would exit the forestry, lightly limping from how numb here limbs were from laying down in a rest. she had no idea what to do or where to go. however, she needed food.

Turning her gaze away from the silent grey wolf, Shadow looked toward the edge of the forest. From it's depths the figure of a female wolf slowly emerged. Even from afar Shadow could spot the slight limp the female wolf had. Turning her paws in the direction of the new wolf, Shadow proceeded with slight caution. She had never met the wolf before but the stranger carried familiar scents of the pack. Drawing closer to the wolf Shadow stopped a few paces away and stood silently for a moment before saying politely and yet awkwardly, "Hello, I am Shadow."

Solace Was interrupted by the greeting presence of a young female, she had no idea what to do, she either should flee or stay, since the female seemed to be in the pack Solace had been around. it was well worth a try to stay. as she laid her paw down gently. finding the numb feeling clearing away, she had softly commented. "nice to meet you Shadow, i am.. Solace."

"It is nice to meet you, Solace," Shadow replied and dipped her head in a silent forum of greeting to the older wolf. "Are you injured," Shadow asked looking down briefly at the paw Solace had been favoring. Keeping her gaze locked on the mysterious wolf Shadow waited for a reply.

Solace had returned the favor, as she observed the female a bit to remember her presence, she peeled a light smile at the female before responding, "oh no thanks, it was just a bit of a numb feeling which made me limp. it cleared away now." as she responded politely, signaling no harm toward her or the pack she was in.

It was now a few hours later since Amethyst had been resting for quite a while now. She opened her eyes but had no memory of how she got there. She didn't really remember when or how she got into the opened space. Her eyes were quite heavy but she struggled to keep them opened. She gave a long yawn and tried to get to her feet. Her leg muscles felt a little weak. But she remembered that she somehow had to get back to the Koti den. How far away was it? She tried to howl. It wasn't that strong. It only lasted for about 5 seconds. Then she fell to the ground, feeling a little light headed. She had to get back to the den, but not in this condition... She waited a while longer before proceeding on

Curious of where the older wolf had been, Shadow tilted her head to the side as she listened. Her blue eyes narrowed for a second as she pondered over the idea of interrogating the wolf but the worry of insulting Solace by accident over ruled Shadow's curiosity. "Are you sure that you are fine?" The white wolf asked instead. Despite her poor conversational skills Shadow still picked up on something troubling Solace.

As soon she was to speak... it had hit her... Her small thin stomach yet growled in starvation. causing her to escape an sigh... as she responded "Well.... Despite the hunger... im doing just fine... but i apparently could use a good meal." Solace had abrupted an enthusiastic chuckle softly, the female should have known by now that yet Solace had not been in the pack yet if she was as this hungry... and she had never been seen before.

Shadow's ears folded back as she began notice this wolf had been away from the pack for quite sometime. Despite the instinct to confront the wolf Shadow thought about the hunting grounds on the plateau. "Are you up for a hunt?" Shadow asked feeling almost like a pup as she shifted her paws restlessly in the cold snow.

Solace remained silent for a moment, as she lightly stuttered. For the Fae hadn't really been on an actual hunt, she had instead living on small rodents, however, it was worth a try. as she began to speak briefly. "um... Sure, that would be great."

Surprised by the response, Shadow's ears perked forward as she stared stunned for a moment at Solace's reply. A sly look slowly crept up on the white wolf's face as she turned around and bolted down toward the plateau. "Coming?" Shadow called over her shoulder as she slowed her pace.

-The Plateau-

Solace had yipped with actual excitement, as she trotted along, She was pleased with the faes generosity. in helping to keep her alive. however, she knew she needed to stay focused, as she began to pace among Shadow's Steps briefly,

Amethyst's eyes opened once more and she tried really hard to get to the Koti den. She had remembered she made her comfortable bed deep inside the den, and she had been far away from it for days. Her tail wagged a little, as she began to notice herself walking again. It felt good to travel on paws once again. She gave a slight yawn but tried to stay awake, for she had to get to the den. Once she arrived, she saw some food laying around. Was it good enough? She thought it was. Her stomach began to growl. She quickly took the remaining carcass of the dead elk and dragged it inside the den. Way deep, deep inside, she padded to her sleeping spot and plopped the carcass by her side. She nibbled and chewed everything she could. She was hungry, but very tired. Before getting comfortable again, she flexed and relaxed all muscles. She lay down with her head facing the entrance and sleepily watched the outside from the inside

luna came back from snowberry fields hours later with a handful of herbs of all sorts. she was smiling and was glad to be back. once she placed the herbs in the den she wondered around and felt chatty.

Eis was restless pacing back and forth across the den entrance. She saw a she-wolf return to the den. she stopped and watched her go by. The she continued pacing.

as Luna was exiting the den she stopped. she had seen this she wolf around but hadn't introduced herself yet. "hello there, I'm Luna. " she said lightly nodding her head to her.

Amethyst continued to look out of the den, while she was still deep inside it. Her tail swayed back and forth happily. She was glad to be back at the Koti den. She kinda missed that place for a very long time. A rush of wind entered inside of the den, wooshing against her light grey fur. She lay her head on the ground, relaxing it a bit. Her eyes were half opened. She slowly scented another wolf near the den. It was probably a wolf she had seen before. She didn't mind the odd scent as much.

"Hi!" Amethyst said happily. "I'm Amethyst. Don't worry, I won't bite". She looked at Luna with soft eyes. She seemed like a very nice wolf. She invited her more deeper into the den. She smiled.
