Hidden Spirit

*he followed his father and aicha into this new land. he lifted his nose into the air and smelled other animals. there was no human smells. he thought that meant this was wild land. it should as well be because he saw many deer hoof prints in the lakes mud as they walked by.*

Reaper

He entered and when he saw his son he padded over to him. He smiled and stood by his son's side waiting for Aicha.

Aicha

Aicha lay waiting in the deep reeds around the lake, staring back at them, and slowly unraveling them in her mind. How are they going to do out here in the wild. Considering that Aicha had left them behind for a bit, they were doing quite well. Finding this place virtually by themselves. They didn't even seem very nervous. But she wouldn't tell them, they probably didn't know about the various swamp animals living here, and they didn't need to know. She approached with slight caution them, not too sure if they would be expecting her, and so she took that into knowledge, and molded her approach for their reaction. Soft bark questioned what they thought of it here so far, and also what they wished to experience in the wild, or explore. The Ranch maybe? But she wouldn't take them there yet. Not with the...recent attempt, and such a young, for this case, and vulnerable adolescent.

.Raven washed mistress engraced the lands following the trio. Zenith was raised as seekers betray around. The sweet smell of freedom. How lovely. Horns flicker forward listening to the familiar sounds of wildlife. Caverns take in the perfumes of the timbers. Lust for blood grew stronger. Orcs take in the presence of Reaper and the others. 'ello.

Reaper

He smiles and yips a greeting to Aicha when he sees her then he scents a familiar scent. Jewel! When he saw her in sight he wagged his tail in greeting glad she had come as well. "Hello Jewel!" He yipped. He padded over to her and barked to his son and Aicha.

Hidden Spirit

*he wagged his tail when he saw aicha. perking his ears up her heard jewel and smelled her. he turned around and woofed slightly to her. he would just follow the adults and learn on the way.*

Pirqua

The peregrine falcon soared through the air and gave throat to a high-pitched cry before settling down on a branch close to the ground and the four canines. She didn't speak yet, but her cry had surely made her presence known. She just waited to see what the others might do.

Aicha

Soft growl was emitted, as the female approached as well. Out of habit, and instinct did she rise to be the dominant one, higher than her in status. Although she was pretty sure she already was, wolvin instinct always made her do it. Gaze then fell into the air as a screech rang through the air. Not the best with birds was she, but some were obvious like the Falcon, but she didn't know what kind exactly. Not much interest was shown, but she stared, thinking. Why couldn't it have been a nice, big, juicy grouse? Been a long time since she had grouse. But then a bark was released towards the animal, and their conversation before was forgotten as she waited.

x.Banshee erected her banner in defense to the she devil. Labrums pull back into a death defining snarl. Ivories bared..her own canine instincts knocking her into her senses. Oh just wait. Harks seem to fold back to pair with her dream box. No attention seemed to be given to the Falcon.x.

Aicha

Audits laid back against dainty skull as the new arrival dare challenge her. Who, in fact, had gotten the food they needed to live, either that or starve to death. Who indeed got them out of that fenced in area, or at least gave them hope to, along with Hidden Spirits. And now who introduced them to this world. One more word out of that little smart mouth, your not welcome near me, and if your little friends want to starve in the wild with you, or have a full belly with me, that’s their decision. But one more, and your out with me. Besides, being kept for so long, your instincts can't possibly be tuned like the wilds are. You'll never catch a meals because their senses will be finely tuned to predators such as yourself. Enough with that now, hackles rose, and thick fur upon her nape and back rose in not a defensive way now, but offensive. At first it had just been to defend her her spot in this outside world. Now it was to conquer it. Plume rose, and curled around her back in an alpha position. Dial rose as well, but tucked in to protect her vitals. Top lip curled back to reveal two rows of tinted red incisors, bloodied from the meal SHE had caught. Lobes as well laid back, but not fully so she could still hear around her. Still alert to the animals around, and still having some of her attention upon the falcon. Jaws, and in turn, enamels clenched together, and a snarl was released to the ess. 'Back down' was the clear message. The snarl turned into a blood thirsty bark, and then she finally calmed herself down enough that it was only a threatening snarl. Waiting her reaction. If it was to be a fight, she would fight, and then after, leave the jezebal, and the rest if they wished to stay with her with the thought she would have been better off staying alone. If she did back down, then things would go from there. But now all attention was on her, waiting defensively for the first move.

.x.Onyx paramour stood her dimension with great abomination. She too was once alpha until those filthy two-leggeds took her from her own wealthy pride. And now this unknown fatale expected her to submit like she was some low living rat? Hah I think not..but surely she could not take her down with the poor condition she was in. Maybe if Jewel had eaten and her frame didn't look so frail she could but not today. Hunger was the main factor inside right now. The nymph was probably right. She probably wouldn't be able to catch her own prey..not after months in a cage. But she was not one to step down that easily..desperate times call for desperate measures. One last growl erupted from her chimes before whipcord was lowered slightly. Oh how she hated it and wanted to destroy the huntress. For now she would go along with her little imagination. For now the other would claim herself alpha..for now.

Reaper

When Aicha snarled at Jewel Reaper pinned his ears back and snarled as well. He had known Jewel much longer and was very protective of Jewel, Silva, and his son. He was just warning Aicha that he wouldn’t tolerate the way she was acting towards Jewel. Also after awhile he was planning on finding Silva but he wasn’t about to walk away from the others. Yes it may have been long since he hunted but he knew rabbits and such small prey were good warm ups. He was grateful that Aicha had helped but that wouldn’t mean he’d give up his friend and son to side with Aicha. He stopped snarling when Jewel stopped and his ears perked up a bit.

Aicha

Oh how a short temper could come in the way so many times in a day hey? Attention flickered to the male for a moment, she didn't care who really tried to stand up to her, whoever it was, she would make sure they knew their status in her opinion. Couldn't blame her, really, this was the first time she had ever carried company. Bad...bad...bad...idea. Never, and I mean never get company. Bad luck they is. Fur began to slowly lay upon her pelt once more as the female let out a last, defiant growl, and her own appeared into the air as well. Temper subsiding with this one for now, and again she went back to the question as to where they would go. Surely they wouldn't stay in Pike's Lake. Her life was to travel, explore, and explore over again. Orbits darted back, bringing the young canine into the action once more. Low bark was sent to them, message clear, where did they want to go.

Hidden Spirits

*he had started to back up at the growling tail tucked under ears back.*

Pirqua

The falcon flattened her feathers a bit and watched the canines with her wide eyes. She was irked at being ignored, but it was just as well; at least she wasn't attacked. Pirqua watched them a moment longer, then took to the air once more. She swooped very low over the group so that the wind could easily be heard whistling over her feathers before she pulled upwards. After circling high above the group, the falcon suddenly gave a new cry; an alarming one. Her keen vision picked up on a strange eagle at the Canyon; which wasn't more than a mile from the lake. Veering off sharply, she returned to where her family was.

Aicha

Aicha still withheld her dominant position, but it was easy to tell that her attention was elsewhere as she looked over to where the falcon had been seated once before, to find it gone. Audits twitched, and shook themselves as a great waft of air sunk into them, and dial as well shook before occuli stared into the air. She easily spotted the squawking bird, but why it was in alarm she didn't know. They weren't harming it, but that didn't seem to be the problem. The canyon. She didn't know birds to well, but she knew directions, and she knew the Valley. Orbits of her own followed over to the Canyon to spot the eagle, eagles didn't usually go there. She knew that too. Looking down at her group, refraining from growling to them at their ignorance before. But stopping she looked at the pup. Soft whimper was given as a sorry, and then she addressed them all. Sharp bark told them that the Canyon was their next stop. They could decide to come or not, but that’s where she was going. With or without them.

.jewel.

Russet soul seekers look towards Reaper in great appreciation. Well at least she wasn't alone with this huntress. Her orbs question Reaper..to follow or not?

Reaper

He smiled to Jewel. "I don’t care if we follow." He then looked to his son. "What do you think?"

hidden Sprit

*he wasn't one to decide so he spoke up* i don't mind either way i'm fine

Aicha

Already had she returned from the Canyons. A look of utter surprise upon her features, and if they would have come, they would look the same. She hesitated for a moment, before a bark released the new destination, and the reason. "I need to get..more food. Sheep to be precise, the Ranch. It's your choice if you want to come or not, but if so, it will be the first step into getting your feet in the wild." She sighed, and seated herself for a moment, obviously restless. Not being able to contain herself, she stood up, and turned towards the Ranch, taking on a slower pace and allowing them to decide whether to follow her or not once more.
