The Koti Den

Dark arrived back at the den, the pup still on his back. He took a quick look around the place before looking for a Celete. "Where's one when you need them?" The massive, scarred brute growled angrily. His red eyes caught sight of Cinder. "Hey, Cinder. I need yer help with this pup." Dark said as he took the pup from his back and gently placed them on the ground. He looked down at the starved pup, before looking back up at Cinder. "Yeah... I could do with some help here..." Dark admitted as his red eyes scanned the area before going back to the pup.

Cinder's eyes look at the starving pup. "Oh, poor thing," She sighs. She looks at Dark. "I will glad to help," Cinder says. She turns around rips a large piece of the moose carcass. She drops it in front of the pup. She tilts her head. The black female tilts her head. "Where are the Celetes?" Cinder growls to herself. She chews up some of the food and coughs it back out just in case the pup needs soft food.

Dark's torn ear flicked at growls as he looked down at the pup. "Hmph... the name's Dark, and yer here because of the state yer in." The massive, muscular brute said in his rough voice. "I brought ya here so that someone could fix ye up, if there were any Celetes around..." Dark said with a small snarl, not aimed at anyone in particular. His torn ear flicked at Cinder's words. "Cheers, and aye, I was thinking that myself." Dark said as he stretched quickly before tensing himself up again, preparing himself should anything happen.

Cinder looks at the pup. "Hello, my name is Cinder," she says. "We are trying to help you. You don't look good for your health," Cinder explains. She pushes the food next to the pup.

Cinder smiles when Lithium thanked her. She dips her head. "I don't know where the herbs are. I'm a hunter. You might have to ask other Celetes," Cinder replies. She grabs a large leg for herself. She puts it in front of her. "Nice to meet you, Lithium," Cinder says.

Dark grunted at the pup's statement. "No problem, now, I'm off..." The massive, scarred brute said with a small growl as he walked off. He decided to call it a day and walk towards the den. Dark took his usual spot outside, next to the entrance of the den. He laid down and curled himself up, letting another small growl escape from his throat as he closed his red eyes.

Cinder frowns when she sees the scar on the pup. She watches the pup heal herself. She smiles again. Cinder curls up next to the pup. "I don't know," she answers. Cinder moves her nose, smelling something familiar. She gets up and stands over the pup. She sees Amethyst. Cinder smiles and moves to the side. "Greetings Amethyst," she says.

Rennah felt a sense of deja vu as Dark brought the young new comer to the pack. She felt a desire to nurture the young one, but decided to give her a little space until she got used to the place. Rennah lay comfortably in the warm den, occasionally looking down at her stomach and thinking of the baby.

Rennah smiled at the wolf. "I am a friend, you can be relaxed around me. And thank you for the herbs. Oh you poor thing look at you. You remind me of me when i was a pup. Do you have anyone to care for you? I know your nearly an adult, only a few months to go, but i remember what it was like not having someone to care for you. If you need anything just let me know." The gentle fae said. Through her blue opal eyes shown worry and motherly concern.

Storm sniffed the air, looking for something to hunt. Once he found a scent trail he followed it, "An elk," He noted. "Thats just what i was craving." He smirked as he aproached his target. The brute crouched down low and stalked the elk. It was a little younger than an adult so it would be an easy kill. He leapt and sprang into a sprint, his lean body making it very easy to catch up to the elk. Sinking his fang like teeth into it's hind he dug his back legs into the snow, attempting to slow it down. As the elk ran out of breath he let go, as he too was out of breath. Storm watched as his pray ran a little ways away, then he sprinted back over to it with fresh energy while it was tired. He sank his teeth into it's neck and wrestled it to the ground. Because he was not very muscular it took some time to pin it down, the pray's pulse started to dim as a minute passed. Blood slowly trickled down it's neck and his maw. The elk gave one blow with it's hoof to Storm's shoulder before it finally died. As he dragged it back to the den, catching his breath he mumbled, "Thank you for your sacrifice and sustenance." His mate had installed this phrase into his memory, reminding him that all life was precious. Once he got to the den he dropped the elk and ripped off a hind leg, laying to eat it. He looked to his mate before eating, making sure she would eat. "You looked hungry, and i was as well, so i got this for you." He said as he took the first bite of his catch. He looked to the bruse now forming on his shoulder. "The elk only gave me a slight wound, it will heal in no time, just a bruise." He looked over to the young newcomer. "There is plenty if you would like some." He offered.

Rennah greeted her mate, nuzzling him. "Yes thank you, I was hungry." The fae took a chunk of the torso meat and sat quietly to eat it. Hearing Storm's suggestion to Lithy, she added. "Yes, Lithy this is my mate Storm, and you really should eat some of this. We couldn't possibly finish it ourselves and you look hungry."

Boulder picked up the scent of dead elk and heard his stomach growl. He padded over to his friends, and was about to to say hi before he noticed a fae about his age. "Hey I'm Boulder, Amethyst's son." He said. Then he looked to his friends and then to the elk that was still mostly in tacked. "Can i have some?" He asked.

Storm licked his red stained maw, having finished his meal. "Sure Boulder, dig in! Like i told Lithy there is plenty." He said as he stood to stretch.

Rennah looked at Lithy with a sence of understanding. Her story toucher Rennah's heart. The fae stood and decided to get some fresh air. "I'll be around if you need anything Lithy." She said before her light footfall lead her out of the den. Out of her peripheral vision did she see the all to familiar rock. The rock that she has spent many a hour viewing the world as a pup, and where she and Storm spent time together alot. She remembered when it took alot of effort to climb the rock when she was a very young pup, and how it was just an easy jump away now. She hopped unto the elevated surface of the rock, which was smooth and comforting. She lay on her side, watching the sun as it danced in the distance. The snow was glistening and in the distance she saw some field mice searching for food. She smiled as the peaceful day relaxed her.

The younger pup nodded to Ren, she was tired as didn't sleep well on her travels, always fearing her brother would find her. Getting up did she strech and yawn before limping off to a den. Sniffing the insides of it did she sneeze not being used to the smell o the pack. Shaking her head did she go into the snow before digging. Finishing her den did she go off looking for sticks, finding a few did she place them in the den to make it more sturdy. Then the cream pup went to find moss and leaves, before heading back did she decide to find more herbs in case someone needed them. She was used to being the healer in her pack so she might as well take up that spot as well. After setting her bedding up did she go to look for the list of herbs she memorized with ease. 'Borage Leaves, Burdock Root, Chevil, Coltsfoot, Dock, Dried Oak Leafs.' She kept repeating the herbs. finding them all did she walk back to her den and put them inside. Thinking of Storm did she get up grabing her oak leaves and dock before walking to him. "I see you have a scratch, I brought some herbs to help with the wound. Here is Dock, its a plant that helps soothe the wound. And these leaves are oak leaves, they help with infection." She woofed before chewing the oak leaves into a pulp, then did she spread it with her tongh. Her fur stood on end as she was so close to a brute but she ignored the screaming voice in her head. Finishing did she lick the snow to clean her tongh before doing the dock, "This might sting" She barked before putting the poletice on, "there that should do it." She said before getting up and padding into the forest, hungry. Before long she came to a bird, stalking it did she jump killing it and then killing a rabbit. Walking back to the den did she pluck the feathers off the jay and ate her fill before falling asleep in her nest.

Dark slowly opened his red eyes as he woke up. The massive, scarred brute slowly got onto his paws as he let out a loud yawn. He shook himself and began his daily patrols. Dark growled as his heavy steps left his claws sinking into the ground with each step. He let out a snarl as he took in the scents the air carried. "Hmph... nothing out of the ordinary today..." The massive, muscular male said with an irritated grunt. Dark just shook his head angrily as he continued to patrol.

Boulder had finished his meal and decided to go do something. He was kinda bored as he headed off in the direction of a more forested area. The young brute smelled the air, looking for something to do. He pounced into a pile of freshly fallen powdery snow, his fur now covered in a dust of white. He rolled playfully in the snow, his back to the ground. He jumped and ran a little, only to jump back into the snow. He played like that for a while before he sat in the snow watching the other wolves do there day to day business.
