Alpine

The pup raced into the Temple. He barked frantically. His paws ached from the hike, but he focused on one task - saving Aurinka. "Help! I need the healers! My mother is dying outside!" He yelled.

Pheral, Ty, & Fiona

"Pheral!" Springing down from one of the low stone ledges, Fiona was the first one to acknowledge Alpine. The little tortie raised her head up, turning mustard-yellow eyes up at the larger canine, "Where is she, Alpine? What kind of wounds does she have?"

Clawing is way forward, Vigilante was joined by his sister as he moved away from the thermal-heated floor near one of the old pools. "Auna, Santori, Trillium; I want you both to escort him to the scene. Zantail, scout for them." The komodo dragon flicked his dark tongue out, analyzing the distinct scent of blood that was carried on the wind by Aurinka's son. "Whip, go with and see what you can find."

Alpine

Alpine looked down at the cat, panting heavily. "She's just outside. Hurry, I don't know how long she'll last!" He was clearly distraught and exhausted. "She's got gashes on her neck and back. They're bleeding a lot."

Fiona & Others

The 600+ pound sow was soon making her way forward, coming up from a lower level in the Temple and moving with a speed that defied her size and build. "Lead the way, Alpine." Pheral spoke in a low but calm voice. Ever since the battle at Pike's Lake, which had seen her pack take the heaviest losses, the hybrid swine had found things becoming relatively peaceful. But now... she wondered if this could be the start of another slide into turmoil.

Zantail was already up and launching from her perch on a high window ledge. Springing from the stony surface with a rustle of feathers in the wind, the eagle soared up in sweeping spirals to keep a lookout on the land below. Auna had come forward too, with her fur-lined paws all but muffling her approach. Impossibly small at the snow leopard's side, Trillium padded after. And beside them was Whip-Lash, ready to offer whatever assistance she could.

Alpine

Alpine looked around at the healers. They were quite diverse. It was rather ironic that Aurinka needed healing, as she herself had been training to be a healer before she left the Shadow Haunters. He nodded vaguely and ran out to the site where his mother was down.
