Nightshade & Amari

Nightshade was not an uncommon sight in human lands. She had a price on her head, but so far, nobody had collected that bounty. She was still at large, showing up every once in a while to launch an attack. This time, she brought a friend. A little coyote by the name of Amari. Amari was of a higher rank than Nightshade, but she always let Nightshade take the lead. Most knew better than to step all over the massive coywolf.

Nightshade lived up to her name - silent but deadly, hiding in the shadows. That was exactly what she was doing now. It was a rather nice afternoon, with no wind to cause too much of a chill. Nightshade could smell barbecue, which both told her humans were nearby and masked her scent as well.

Amari was new to this activity, so she was rather nervous as she skulked. Nightshade, however, was a veteran. The two lurked around, peering through the fence they were hiding behind, searching for prey...

skyfall

Foolishness. This was absolute foolishness. Skyfall had grown up with an inborn fear towards humans, yet here he was. Sulking through their lands, ambling amongst their hell. Why this seemed like a grand idea, Skyfall was unsure. This whole hullabaloo was crazy to the new wolf. The forest was crawling with warring creatures, and the city scene wasn't much better. But Skyfall had found the human dwellings a bit easier to skulk about. Stay in the shadows, avoid the loose dogs, and you were golden.

Skyfall had found a flat-topped dumpster to rest upon. It's top was just peaked above the typical human head, and if Skyfall pressed close to the brick wall of the building, he went unseen. The metal box was a perfect view of the nearby scape. Such a spot where Skyfall caught sight of two canines lurking about.

The duo perplexed him at first. They did not look like the scraggly city mutts, scavenging for food and causing nuisance. No, they were born in the wild. Nightshade looked at home, though, but Skyfall noticed Amari's hesitation. Descending the boxes piled next to the dumpster, Skyfall trotted over to a garbage can not far from the predating two. He peaked around the edge, gazing at them with gleaming eyes, waiting for them to notice that they had not gone unnoticed.
