Blue Shining

Cashmere carried Naira and Nashoba had Zern. Cashmere was leading the way, she knew of a place with open space and a nearby cave. Naira was bouncing in Cashmere's mouth as they gained speed, the scent of the lions slowly faded away as they got closer and closer to their destination. She tried to speak to Nashoba.
"I now wer tag ga!" She let out a muffled sigh and paid more attention to her surroundings.

*The mountain lions were out hunting for food and to warn the golgot pack about the mountain lions, Mansi let out a howl, letting the lions know where she was so they were really chasing after her. There was a small group of golgots that fought the mountain lions and thought that they had taken care of all of them, but there were a few mountain lions that hadn't been seen and they came after the golgots. I hope that helps clear things up.*

The rest of the pack trudged along side the mistics. Mansi was slower than the rest and Winnepea stayed behind with her.

"Winnepea, if I become too weak to make it to the safe haven, then I want you to take the rest of the pack with the mistics and leave me."

Winnepea shook his head as his breathing quickened. "No, Mansi. We stay together. I can't leave you. If I did your father would never forgive me. And what about the rest of the pack? You are their new Alpha. If you don't come back, there will be a lot of unrest and perhaps unnecessary bloodshed over the open position. No, we will make it together."

Mansi smiled and picked up her pace, blocking out the pain in her hip. If Winnepea believed in her, she could believe in herself.

<<Yes, thank you it does. How many are there supposed to be?>>

Nashoba
Mystics

Nashoba spat out little bits of fur from Zern's coat after depositing the cub down on the grass. The other wolves circled nervously around, trampling beds for themselves in the long grass in front of the rock face. The pack had arrived at their destination, a small clearing at the base of a cliff. Small caves large enough for only the smaller wolves dotted the base, and there were a few shallow overhangs. The unrest of the wolves was very apparent from their manner, but no one said anything. It had begun to rain gently, and some of the wolves went to sit under the overhang out of the weather. Yet more time passed, and the mountainlions still did not appear.

Cashmere walked over to Nashoba.

"What next? We can't wait here forever. What if they're gone?"

"You'd be surprised how quietly they can move when they want to. they could get within twenty feet of us and we might not notice." This unsettling statement was very true, and Nashoba's brow creased worriedly as he glanced around him nervously.

After a few more minutes, he walked slowly over to join the rest of the pack, and lay down, not noticing the golden eyes staring at him from a tree behind his head.

<<Don't let Nashoba die!!!!>>

Zern and Cashmere
Mystics
Alpha F and pup.


Zern saw a cave in the distance, not too far away. she started running toward the cave, not knowing what could be lurking inside.

Cashmere was laying down when she noticed what Zern was doing.
"Zern! No!" She shouted, but Zern still headed to the cave.

Nashoba
ALpha
Mystics

Before Zern could reach the opening in the rock, Nashoba grabbed her by the scruff and hauled her away.

"Don't do that again! You lack experience and have no idea what could have happened to you!"

Zern didn't answer, but hung her head and looked away. Cashmere sniffed the entrance of the cave, and then said.

"Its ok Nashoba, there's nothing there."

After a few minutes of stern lecturing, Nashoba walked away, leaving Zern to talk with her sister.

"Why did you do that? You heard Mom calling you."

"I thought I smelled something!"

Naira frowned.

"What did it smell like?"

Zern and Cashmere
Mystics
Alpha F and pup


Zern looked at Naira.
"It smelled like...like..a cat." Zern said quietly.


Cashmere sat next to Nashoba and kept an eye on the pups from a distance. She quickly stood up and pricked her ears and looked around.
"What is it?" Nashoba asked

Nashoba
Mystics

Nashoba followed Cashmere's gaze, but couldn't detect anything out of the ordinary. Suddenly a loud roar shook the clearing, and a huge tawny cat jumped down from the tree onto the back of one of the Golgot wolves.

Cashmere and Zern
Alpha F and Pup
Mystic


Cashmere knocked the cat off of the golgot.
“Look out!” She shouted as the cat tried to get another wolf but failed.
“Thanks.” One of the golgots said as it dodged the cat. Cashmere ran up to the cat and tried to attack, but the cat got on top of her instead. Cashmere struggled but couldn’t get the cat off of her, the cat readied for the final blow. Another cat came out of the cave and cornered the pups.
“Nashoba! Save the pups!” Cashmere shouted.


Zern jumped at the cat and bit it’s foot, the cat yelped and kicked it away.

Blaze
Dunedogs

He stiffened, sniffing the breeze. "There's something going on out there..."

The alpha snorted. "You and your nose, Blaze. Does it smell like trouble?"

Blaze shook his head. "No, smells more like rain. I think we're in for a storm soon." His guess was confirmed by a rumble of distant thunder.

"That's good, isn't it?" a yearling asked. "I mean-"

Nobody was listening. All the other wolves were runing for shelter in the sparse rocks of the desert. A pup tried to hide under a cactus, but gave up when the spines stung her nose. She let out a yelp and ran to her mother.

"Youngsters," mutterd Blaze.

is there already an Alpha female for the Dunedogs? If so, let me know and I will edit this.

Name: Willowen

Rank: Alpha female

Pack: Dunedogs

Description/Picture:

Dame: Dunedogs

Sire: Druids

Mansi and Winnepea were laying down near a rock, giving Mansi some time to breath. Mansi turned her paw over and licked the still healing wound from the earlier fight for her position in the pack. Hassun had really sliced deeply into her paw. She hadn't really noticed how much it hurt because of all the earlier commotion, but now she was really feeling the pain.

As she licked her paw, Winnepea lay staring out over the rocks. His breathing was slow and steady, a sign that he was thinking hard. Mansi stopped licking her paw and stared at Winnepea. She saw a sadness in his face that she did not understand.

Just as she was about to ask Winnepea what was on his mind, a loud roar broke through some brush and a mountian lion jumped out and onto the back of one of her fellow golgots. Both Mansi and Winnepea quickly jumped to attention watching the mountain lions movements. Mansi began to run over to make an attack, but Winnepea jumped infront of her, forcing her to hault and causing a shooting pain in both her hip and paw.

"You must stay here. You are too weak to fight."

Mansi stared at Winnepea in shock. He was protective, but he had never once held her back from a fight. They were a team and had been since they were pups. Team work was what they were best at. Now, he was telling her that she was no longer a part of that team.

Mansi began to protest, but suddenly Cashmere pounced on the lion, which let go of the golgot, but then took her in his grasp. Winnepea let out a howl and Cashmere was talking, but Mansi was so lost in the moment, everything became a blur.

Next thing she knew, Winnepea and the packs two betas, Mankya and Rayan were charging at the mountain lion and Cashmere. Mansi, fearing Winnepea's safety began to charge after him, but was blocked once again. Only this time, it was by two of the packs hunters.

"We were given orders to keep you safe. We must go to a cave now," the wolves said in unison.

Mansi was stunned, but only for a second. She had regained her senses and gotten her old self back. Her eyes burned with rage and she snarled. "You do not give me orders. Now step out of my way!"

The two wolves stood strong, one taking a second to look over his shoulder at the fighting. She began to protest again, but a sound that she hadn't noticed before sliced through her focus. It was the sound of a small howl. Mansi turned away from the wolves and saw one of the mystics young pups laying on the ground. It had been tossed ruthlessly to the side by the mountain lion. Mansi realized that it needed help. She took a step towards it, but the hunters took a step with her.

This time, Mansi wasn't going to be so nice. "Either step out of my way or I slit your throught with my bare claw." She could see that the two wolves become a little more nervous, but they still held their ground. She decided that physical force wasn't going to work. She was going to have to outsmart them.

She smiled cockily and began running in the direction of some trees. The wolves followed, just as she had planned. As she charged the trees, she did a 180 degree turn, jumping over the running wolves. She hit the ground hard and her paw almost gave out. She shook it off and ran towards the young pup, grabbing it by its neck as she ran by.

Zern
Pup
Mystic

Zern whined and was picked up by Mansi and she passed out, when she woke, she Naira.
"Shes awake!" Naira shouted. Mansi and Nashoba went over to her, Cashmere limped her way there too and looked at the wounded pup. Suddenly Zern heard a noise and the smell was back, she jumped up looked around.
"Their back..." She whispered.

willowen
Alpha F
Dunedog

Willowen took shelter under a rock and watched blaze as he took shelter. She caught a scent and lowered her body, she watched as a baby deer wandered out of the trees near her, she pounced on it and killed it by biting it's neck. She dragged it under the large rock and signaled blaze to come to her.

Naira
Pup
Mystics


A long gash bled sluggishly on Zern's side. The mountainlions had already retreated into the forest, perhaps deciding that the bother of killing so many would not be worth it. They had dragged the body of one of the wolves with them. Most of the survivors were nursing their hurts, or tending to those more seriously injured.

"Zern! Are you alright?"

Again, Naira could not help but feel a little jealous of all the attention her sister was receiving. After all, they had both been attacked.

Zern
Mystic
Pup

Zern was standing and limped out of the cave. She put her nose to the ground and started walking, trying to follow a scent. She walked part-way into the trees, when she was called.
"Zern, stay out if the forest and come back to the cave, your wounds." Cashmere shouted. Zern turned around to return and took a few steps before something grabbed her by the scruff and pulled her in the forest. Cashmere quickly stood up and ran towards the forest, but tripped over her hurt leg, causing it to hurt more.
