Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ember nodded her head slightly to Thorn, "Nice to meet you Thorn." As she listened to what Bullet said next she made herself keep a straight face, she knew that she couldn't show that they were having a few problems in the pack. Her ears twitched as she listened to Rail, then she jumped a little when his blood pumped fast through his body, it was like as if he was fighting something.

Her whole body turned with a slight growl, and she looked in the direction of Rail. She quickly stopped seeing that he had not moved from the spot next to the lake that he laid at. With a tilt of her head she looked at him and then looked back, "Sorry about that, I sensed his blood pressure go up and beat fast through his body, now it has slowed down. He must be sleeping." Shrugging her shoulders lightly, she turned her attention back on Bullet, "If everything is alright now, I will go back down and make sure nothing happens to him."

Once she got a confirmed nod from Bullet, she ran down the slope back to Rail. She was worried something bad had happened. As she settled down next to him she sniffed over him, but didn't see anything wrong, or any blood. Though she could feel the heat of strain coming from him, it was like as if he had an inner battle with himself...or at least that's what she thought.

Did someone attack his mind? She thought to herself as she looked up slightly with a glare. She looked to Marta first, but ruled her out...even if she was suspicious and then looked to Scarlett. It might have been her.

This time Ember laid a little closer to him, that way is he woke up she would feel his fur brush hers and would wake at an instant.

Thorn slowly followed Bullet at a distence. She didn't want to wake any of the sleeping pack as they might think that she was an intruder. She noticed that Bullet was watching her, but that's what she expected. The sadness in Bullet's eyes as she mentioned hern mate made Thorn dip her head slightly. "I too am missing someone" She told Bullet. "My sister has been missing from my side for the past few moons. I do not know what has become of her. But I'm sure that one day we shall meet our loved one's again." Thorn tried to smile, but it was half hearted. She wasn't sure if she would ever meet her sister again.

She was greatful of the offer of meat but she respectfully declined. She was exaused and needed sleep.

She slowly and quietly laydown a good few feet from the rest of the pack. Soon she would make her place among them, but for now she would be patient and gain their trust. Also, she would need to learn to trust this pack also.

Frostridge rose to consciousness swiftly, the sound of a bird waking her.

Morning had come once again, and she stretched. her body felt much more rested, if not perhaps entirely a hundred percent once more, but much better then she had felt in a long while.

The morning sun was beginning to dry the dew-soaked grass, and she could feel the familiar thrum as her deprived tech began to absorb the solar energy. Everyone appeared to still be asleep.

She trotted with ghost-like steps to the fallen kill, the meat beginning to spoil slightly, not that her stomach couldn't handle it. She ate vigorously, feeling rejuvenated.

Her body now fed, she decided to distance herself for her usual morning ritual of absorbing the morning rays to resupply her reserves. There was much that had to be done today; interrogate the two sudden arrivals, locate their missing pack members, prepare for the journey ahead. And also, locate her precious Chain-Fang. She felt vulnerable without it, the familiar weight of it at her shoulder.

She found the tall rock she had spied before and with a graceful coiled leap, scrambled to to the top, lounging on its smooth surface and letting the breeze ruffle her fur. Hopefully she would be able to finish her session without catching the eye of anyone nearby.

Her markings seemed to pulse pleasantly as they hummed with renewed energy. It was these moments she felt at her best, tasting the morning air...

With a yawn Rail woke up and stretched. He had had a good rest. Sitting down he looked at the half asleep pack. Wagging his tail lightly he smiled to Ember "Well good morning cutie." With that he got up and went to pick at the elk corpse until his loyal little pet arrived.

Colt was on his way back already, the madness of the corruption clinging onto the mental life Rail gave it. It flew through the air with the look the corruption changed it to. Once Rail noticed the bird on its way down he stood his ground and threw an invisible rope to the creature. The bird squawked and screeched loudly as the mental connection over took its young mind. Landing it looked up to it's master and waited to be invited to food.

[[just an fyi to everyone. Rail had a deceptive ability due to the fact he was bred as an unseen guard dog. he puts the image of the white feathers and a more 'normal' look to Colt. Whether your wolf see the white bird or the altered side is up to you individually. He thinks the bird turns to its natural state while under his control but its just the deception power and how his mind remembing the bird as it was. Altered form would have twisted horns larger wings and whatever your minds comes up with. The corruption turned him a grey/black color due to the fact he doesn't clean his feathers or anything.]]

Rail bit off a small chuck of the rotten meat knowing Colt would like it better. He walked over the water for a quick drink before coming back and laying behind Colt as it ate. "So is this where you all live? or just passing through?" he asked Ember who clearly was enjoying her watch duties.

Ember had seen the deformed looked of the altered bird from afar, but as soon as it had gotten near Rail it was that original white color again. When he asked if they were actually living here or passing through she smiled a little, "Yeah we're just passing through, not living here. We're trying to find the right place, but so far everywhere else we've gone to has been dead or desert. Or just not enough."

Her ears twitched when she head another's blood pulse and looked to see that the new wolf Thorn was now awake. Ember came back up closer to the food, "Good morning Thorn, did you have a good rest?" She asked sweetly. Now if the wolf had been rude to her, she would be talking in a cold tone.
