x There are various trails in various levels of steepness leading from the Denning Site to the rest of the territory. Much of it is in full view from the outskirts of the Denning Site and often pups come here to play and learn under the watchful eyes of the Upsilon wolves and the rest of the pack. There is thin grass, hard, dusty soil, rocks and boulders and sporadic trees around the area.

Iota of Archon●└xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx┘● As the sun finally began to drop, it took the edge off the heat, and stirred Sorriah from her sleep completely. She was far more nocturnal than some of the other packmates, and couldn't stand the heat of summer. No doubt when she grew up and chose a rank, her duty would oblige her to be about in daylight. But for now, she could wake at dusk and be active at night, to return to the den at sunrise. Earlier commotions at the den had roused her slightly, and she'd sleepily gone to investigate before withdrawing into the cooler darkness of the dens and allowing sleep to take her once again.
She rolled over onto her side; dust, fluff and other small debris from the den floor stuck in awkward places on her pale fur, making her look filthy. Yawning widely, the young fae sat up and shook out her fur, ridding herself of the dust and dirt. Sorriah sneezed a moment later, the dust particles disturbing her sensitive nose. The fae opened her jaws slightly to pant a little, for the den was a little stuffy. Given another few hours, when it had been full dark for a while, her den would cool and it would be comfortable to lie in once again.
The fae padded towards the entrance to her den, and sat down once again, ears and nose twitching as she surveyed the mountain trails and the denning area close by. Many wolves were away in the territory, going about their own business as usual. Some were still asleep, and would not rise until dawn. Sorriah continued to pant a little, wondering what the night would bring her by way of company and activities. Her belly ached a little; she wasn't skilled enough to catch anything bigger than a mouse, and she was not one to beg for food. She looked around as the land was bathed in darkness. She knew what little light there was would reflect off her pale fur when she stepped outside, and her tail twitched in eagerness to run.
Eventually, the young fae decided it was now or never. With a light step, she exited her large den - the remnants of an expanded and extended badger set - and headed out into the warm summer night. She took in the sounds, scents and sights as she easily covered ground in a loping stride, trying to track down and follow the scents of her pack mates.

Night. Talamh hesitated at the start of the steep path and breathed in deeply. With his jaws open the warm night air brought a mix of scents. Fresh kill from far off, mingled with older kills, and the various scents of his pack mates all flooded across his senses. One ear twitched and his stomach growled.
Without a Rho, Tal spent the majority of the day poking across the territory, looking for kills. After a few unsuccesful hunts he had rested and dreamed of being a Kappa. Now he was returning to the Dens, energized from a bit-too-late nap and hungry from lack of meat.
Halfway up the slope his ear twitched. Noises? Pawsteps. Pausing, he stood alert and sniffed the night air. Sorriah? His tail wagged a few times as he moved into the path of his packmate.
"Good evening, Sorriah!" The fae always enjoyed the evening. It wasn't too surprising to see her emerging at this hour when the others were resting or preparing to rest. "How are you?"

Iota of Archon●└xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx┘● Sorriah was perhaps halfway down the trails, thinking about heading to the high plains, when one of her pack mates emerged in her path. She slowed and lowered her tail instinctively - though Talamh was only a year older than she, he was an Epsilon and therefore superior. He was friendly enough and the young fae had always enjoyed his company. Her own tail wagged as he greeted her and asked how she was. She smiled back and nodded to the brute, "hello, Talamh. I am well thank you, and you? Have you been out hunting today? Sorriah knew he was training to be a Delta, and knew in his youth, he had gotten himself into trouble from time to time - but what pup didn't? She hoped his Epsilon training was going well, but had no real idea. She didn't want to offend him, and a general question would be appropriate.
If he had been hunting, perhaps hed share the kill. if not, they could always hunt together. Sorriah always felt more comfortable talking to Epsilons than full members of the guard, at leat while she was an Iota. Perhaps she could become a Delta Epsilon herself one day... Though she hadn't shown much prowess thus far. Her belly growled a little and she gave an embarrassed laugh, "sorry, I've only just woken up. Haven't eaten since yesterday!" Her tail continued to wag slowly, a sign of her friendliness. Other members of the pack she knew were not one for idle chit chat.
The fae wondered if there would be any large hunts soon. She remembered them from her puphood; huge deer or bison being brought down by the pack, and every wolf feasting. She hoped it would happen again soon. "Will you be participating in group hunts soon?" she asked, having thought about the feasts of old. She would love to be a part of that, of providing for Archon, but she she wouldn't have the strength or skills for another year at least. The Iota glanced at the Epsilon, and sat down on the soft grass underfoot. She almost hoped he'd tell a story of the great adventures he'd been on or kills he'd made. Something she could aspire to herself.

Two rabbits had slipped past, and the third had been a chunky fox whom slipped away again. He expected better of himself as a Delta Epsilon, but felt that Sorriah was not going to judge him too harshly. The fae was rather friendly. When she sat, he did too and yawned, shaking the rest of the nap off.
"Oh no! You didn't. I napped by the Lagoon and will prolly be up all night." A wry chuckle slipped out as he scented again. Heather and other summer plants hung in the warm night air, bringing up the Epsilon's mood. "I hope so!" The converstion turning to a large hunt perked him up.
"Something like taking down a deer or moose would be fun. Maybe we could try a bear, though they are very dangerous." Memories of the adventures he had today came forward, "When I was at the lagoon, near the rapids, I smelt some large game. Maybe an elk or deer. It'd be great to take one of them down!"

 ARCHONxxDELTA
Story of my life
What doesn't kill me just makes me stronger
I'd rather be free to fail Through the heat of the day, the young Delta female had traversed the territory. She had been tracking prey and making mental notes about their movements so she could report to the other Deltas and the Alpha, Ajax. To Jetta, the Prey movement was looking very good. They could easily pull off a large hunt soon and she was ready for it even though she’d been on the move most of the day.
The heat of summer was upon them but Jetta had never minded the heat too much. She was very glad that she had a cream-colored coat. Jetta didn’t have to spend all day in the shade because the heat did not bother her as much as it did some of the others.
Jetta’s jog soon turned into a slow lope as she reached the mountain trails. Her pink tongue lolled from the side of her mouth as she moved on. She was hoping to get some kind of nap in before morning. Jetta found sleeping a bit difficult to do sometimes. She didn’t like to admit it but she often had nightmares about various things. The previous night, she had been roused from her slumber from a nightmare about a Mountain Lion attacking the hunting party.
The fae trusted the Zetas to run those animals off the territory but that didn’t mean that Jetta still wasn’t afraid of them. She told no one about her nasty dreams; instead, she normally just shook her fur and went about the days duties. Today she’d done just that. Now she was ready for a nap.
As the fae moved forward, a few scents hit her nose. One belonged to the Iota Sorriah and the other belonged to the Epsilon Talamh. She slowed her pace until the two wolves came into view. “Evening!” Jetta chimed happily. “What are you two up to this evening?” The sun was dropping lower painting the valley with Shadows. Night was upon them and Jetta had every intention of getting back to the densite and resting as soon as she could.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx{{ `Status - Hungry and Tired || Eagerxxxxxxxxx▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬"Jetta!" Talamh turned and bobbed his head in greeting to the Delta. He had hoped to meet her that day, but on different circumstances. To train side by side with an accepted Delta would be a valuable learning experience, but more than that... He knew that a dear friend to Jetta was Russet. He was an old Kappa, now retired. They had some things in common, Tal felt. Being the smallest of their litter, but still surviving, and yearning to be a Kappa. Maybe, just maybe...
"I was just talking to Sorriah here about game movement. There's lots of it in the woods right now... We were hoping a large hunt could be made." Tal was torn between bringing up his wish to speak with Russet or his current duty of learning to be a Delta. Shuffling his paws, the young Brute decide that doing both for the time being was a good idea.
"You're actually one of the wolves I hoped to see," Tal admitted to his superior, "Do you think we could train together some time? Perhaps group hunt?" Never before had he considered himself a prideful wolf, but Tal could not bring himself to admit failure to the Delta as he had done with his Iota friend. His pride strangled the words and they died in his throat.
Tilting his head a bit, the young wolf's tail began to wag, "Do you happen to know where Russet is? I'd... Like to speak with him. Though maybe I should talk to him tomorrow. It is getting pretty late." Knowing Jetta she would be wanting to get to bed as much as Sorriah would be wanting to get out of camp. He would probably trot along with Sorriah for a bit, if she was willing to have company, before retiring to bed before the fae.

Story of my life
What doesn't kill me just makes me stronger
I'd rather be free to fail Jetta nodded a greeting to the young wolves before she sat down resting her tired legs. Her attention was on the excited Epsilon. ”If there is large game movement then there will probably be an organized hunt soon. Did you sniff out the game yourself?” Jetta asked as her tail thumped the ground next to her. She loved it when Epsilon’s were excited about training. She could remember being an Epsilon and how much work it had taken for her to become a Delta. Jetta had taken to hunting very quickly but other Epsilon’s had to try everything to find something that worked for them.
Her ears flicked forward as Talamh asked about hunting together. ”I would love to take you on a hunt. It would do you well to observe and participate in a few group hunts if you want to be a Delta. Are you looking into becoming a Delta?” He seemed interested and she could teach him what she knew.
The young wolf then asked about Russet and Jetta nodded a little. ”My guess would be that he is still back at the densite resting. I was just headed back that way myself.” What she didn’t understand was why the other would need to talk to him. She gave a short look of confusion before shaking her head. Russet was an old wolf and he had information on many things so perhaps that was why Talamh needed to speak to him. ”You can come back with me or I can let him know you were looking for him. He doesn’t sleep much at night.” Russet did sleep during the heat of the day and when winter came, she was sure his joints would start hurting him. She felt bad for the old wolf who was more like a parent to her than her mother had ever been.
ooc: I apologize for the wait.

Normally he'd go along with Soriah, but right now he really wanted to speak with Russet. Becoming a Delta was an option he was willing to accept, but... There was a small chance of becoming a Kappa.
"As for the other questions, yes. I am considering becoming a Delta, and I did scent the game." Tal's tail thumped happily at the memories of large game.
[ooc]sorry for the wait. XD

Iota of Archon●└xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx┘●
Sorriah grinned as Jetta joined her and Tal. She had always been fond of the Delta, but sometimes found herself unsure of what to say when in the presence of the Vanguard. The Safeguard she felt a little easier around - many of which had been around her constantly throughout her puphood. Talamh was quite happy to chat away, especially as it considered his prospects. The pair spoke of training and hunting and how positive and exciting it all was. The Iota female felt a little lost that she had nothing worthy to contribute to the conversation or indeed the pack. Of course, she was only a yearling - duty wouldn't oblige her for another year until she entered her own Epsilon training. If, of course, the higher ranks considered her worthy.
The pair spoke of Russett and his possible location, and she felt, especially with all the activity around at the moment, she would do well to return to the main dens. The talk of hunting thrilled her, but she knew she would do little for Archon but be in the way unless she was tucked away at the denning site. Well, at least she could play with the others? She loved chase and pouncing though wasn't quite so fond of the rough-housing and playfighting that some other littermates and Iotas seemed to love.
She swished her tail and watched Jetta and Talamh so as to show she was not being rude and ignoring them, but she wasn't sure where to step in. Jetta then allowed an opportunity, "I'll accompany you back, if it's alright?" The fae glanced to her male companion and back to the she-wolf. She didn't want to step on anyone's toes, and was happy to set off by herself if that was preferable.
((Quite alright - I apologise for keeping my own post so delayed!!))

I'd rather be free to fail Jetta stretched a little then yawned shaking her head she was feeling the fatigue. ”What game did you scent?” Had she already asked him that? She wasn’t sure. The fae shook her head and looked at the yearling who also said that she would come back to the den as well.
”I would love to have your company for a bit longer Sorriah!” Jetta was always glad to have company. ”What are your plans for tonight?” She hadn’t seen much of the Iota lately but she’d been busy. Jetta was also under the impression that Sorriah slept during the day. If Jetta were smart, she’d do the same.
The Delta fae took the lead trotting off toward the den. Maybe she could talk to the Alpha and other Delta’s later. She’d take Talamh with her so he could tell the others about the prey he scented.
