Aziz still hadn’t believed she’d gotten the other females to follow her. She lead the way after a brief rest to settle her stomach, and instantly took the head. As she traveled, she perhaps gave herself away too much: she constantly skirted to the sides of trees, her head ducked low and her eyes widened like buds. She was constantly nervous, and had an odd tick in her ear. Occasionally the old woman swung her head back to peer at the two wolves following her, and her body trembled.
“Not far.” She half hissed in her usual tone of voice. “We should be running into her brute of a guard.” And while they kept Ryukkii distracted- she’d steal him away. But the thought of it made her sick to her stomach. To think Nadia had stooped herself so low as to be wanting the attention of the abusive male. Stalwartly, she blamed it on someone else. “He has forced me here.” she mumbled in slow mantra. “He makes me go with him.”
Whether she was talking about her son or her lover, it was hard to tell. She probably didn’t know either- as she tended to classify them as the same person more often then not. Nervously, she scrambled over a pile of rocks, her stubby claws scratching as she pulled herself over.
“Up here.” She instructed.

With the coming of colder weather came the aggravation of Sirena's old hunting wound and with each step that she took came great pain. It lanced up ninto her shoulder and swelled there with a burning intensity that saw the old she-wolf limping somewhat heavily.
If anyone even mention that she take a break however, it was a sure thing that Sirena would snap. She had no time to show weakness, despite the fact that she was dragging somewhat behind the others.
It was the other female's words that brought Sirena to a brief halt, raising her head to glance around. Up where? Ugh....She was tired and beginning to lose patience but she knew if she gave up now then everything would be lost. No. She had to put her faith in a stranger for once in her life, because to do so could only be of help in the long run - or so Sirena wanted to believe.
Just keep going. She urged to herself, moving a little faster to try and catch up with the other wolves.

River, quite sickeningly had decided to trot along side like her old self, a small pup. She did keep slowing down though, after all the other two were alot older then she was.
She slowed down as the stranger female spoke. It looked as if Ren was struggling but she didn't say anything, that would be a little too harsh, or it was in her mind anyway.
((excuse my lack of writing skills my imagenation has gone on holiday it seems))

Aziz was used to harsh conditions- and although her progress was slow, she kept herself mostly at the same pace she had started out in. The concept of a rest seemed foreign and unusual. Who could afford to rest? Certainly not her. She’d have died many times had she stopped running. The thought of it brought back memories, and her brilliant eyes danced back and forth in caution as she settled. No, no. She did not like that at all.
But Sirena seemed unsteady about the climb, although she had come back with a renewed passion momentarily. Aziz dropped to the wayside and trotted, looking back once with a uniquely scraggly- if not mad, look. “Not far.” She repeated. “Not all the way up either. Just a ledge.” She began to mumble to herself quietly. Ledge, ledge.
But by the time Aziz was scrambling up the final rungs, there was already company awaiting at the cliff side. A large, monestrous looking brute of a male loomed downwards, watching the trio of females ascend. His mouth hung agape in a peculiar fashion- and despite his concentration on them, he didn’t seem to notice them. Not yet anyways.
Aziz paused as she caught sight of Carius, a chill thrumming through her which turned into a boil. All their fault. She never would clutch to a disgusting male like this if it wasn’t for them.

Sirena would never give in to the taunts that her aged body demanded, not whilst there was a job to do and not whilst her lungs still drew breath. No. She would follow and she would find those who had destroyed her life and make them pay.
Her dull eyes caught Aziz's look as she turned and nodded slowly, too tired to reply. Instead she quickened her pace further, ignoring the pain so much so that she came up to flank beside River.
The wolf looked seemingly very happy and with a small chuff Sirena parted her jaws and flicked one ear towards her brown companion. A little happy today...aren't we? Her words were broken by the harsh breathing that rasped between her lips.
It was her breath that silenced as she caught sight of the large male standing above them. A huge wolf who oozed with masculine appearance. Fear and anger bristled the fur along Sirena's shoulders but she remained silent, knowing very well she was in no condition to threaten anyone. Perhaps this was the one they had been searching for and if not...
Well if not then there was still three against one, even if two of them were a little past the fighting age.
Keep an eye on this one. She murmured quietly to River.

River was about to answer but the male appeared before she did. She was happy that he did, it hit River in the head enough to calm down a little.
She looked up at the male in awe though, now that was a male worthy of as a mate. Yes, she was still in a way, happy to have a mate and her children, being off happy and what ever meant that she was, well, now, looking for a new mate, it took her a while to remember what they were actually doing here.
As Ren's words hit her ears she nodded and decided to be herself again, she can't be thinking about mating now, she had a job to do!

As they climbed higher, the wheels in the monstrous male’s head started to turn. Who were they? As he watched Aziz he could tell there was something familiar about her- but in all honesty, after two days without her he had forgotten who she was. Words bubbled in his head, but none of them made any sense. It made him frusterated. Which in turn, made him angry.
“Who are you?” The male snarled. “I dare you bitches to come up here.” His obnoxiously curled tail caressed his hips as he did- and he jerked around to watch his flank for attacks. If was hard to tell if they would have been able to see it- but if they did, it probably would have hinted that all was not right in the world of Carius. Aziz flustered, and scrambled a few steps forward.
“It’s me Carius.” She hissed. “We’re here to talk to the witch.”
The black male snorted, and slapped his jaws together. “I don’t know you!”
Aziz bristled. “You do, Carius.” She scrambled up a bit higher, and the large male seemed eager to wait for her. When the female had finally got to just the ledge below, the male leaned down and bit her harshly on the shoulder, yanking her up over the top.
Aziz made a slight shriek and kicked him in the face. Carius retorted with a bash on the end of her nose- but in the scuffle, he was starting to remember. Aziz- As is.
In slight recollection he took a few steps back. “Aziz.” He said flatly.
Aziz snorted and brought herself to her feet. She was shaking, but she was making attempts to hide it. “Yes. Who else do you think it is? Take us to Ryukkii.”

Sirena had not moved, not a single pace. For as the scene began to unfold before her a sinking feeling of dread slipped through her veins. It sent chills down her spine and had her stomach sinking low so that she was sure it might break a whole through her body.
She had no hope to destroy such a monstrous wolf as the male above them but she would not cower away either. Ren had little left in her life, but she still had her pride and she would have it until the end. She would rather die than run away like a pitiful dog. Because Sirena was not a mutt, Sirena was a wolf and she would act like one whether her body was old or not.
She could sense the bubbling excitement in the partner beside her and gave a warning growl, lowering her head as if to protect her throat from an onslaught of fangs. Then slowly she drew forwards a little, trying her best not to show off her limp as she moved somewhat awkwardly upwards.
The sudden attack on Aziz caused a louder growl to erupt from within her and suddenly the old girl was all bristled fur and yellowing fangs. Her dark, almost hollow eyes seemed to deepen with shadow and suddenly she felt trapped. There was no where she could run where she wouldn't be caught and no way to fight that she wouldn't be killed.
Was this it?
Was this...the end?
No. No. NO!
Then suddenly the attack on Aziz came to an abrupt end and it seemed as if the recognition had been made. Was it safe now to assume that they would be led to this so-called seer? Her ears pinned back and her muzzle wrink;ed up in a snarl and she kept up her defensive posture for a long while, only letting it slip when she felt she had no other choice. She could not stand there all day, she had someone to meet.
Are you sure he can remember the way? Sirena hissed rudely as she moved a few steps onward, hoping that River wouldn't be too far behind. It seemed she had come to rely on the younger female a lot - though she would never admit it.

River backed down as the fighting started. She stayed behind Ren but ready to attack if the male went for Ren. River believed that Ren wouldn't run from a fight but then maybe she would if it meant death was failing.
The fight came to an end though, Rivers stance stayed the same, she was cautious now. She followed the two females, where ever that was too lead, River wasn't all to happy about it, that was for sure.

Carius gritted his teeth. He remembered Aziz, but not these other two. Was that his fault? Or had he honestly not met them before? It brought a bubbling rage in his head, but he let it settle. For him- anger was about as much a frequent companion as was his shadow. “She’s not feeling well today.” Carius muttered as he strolled in front of the girls.
“That’s just the devil in her.” Aziz muttered bitterly. It was an odd saying- but one she’d had applied more to herself then she’d ever used towards others. Perhaps she could rub it off on the sickly.
“What do you want?” Carius suddenly spat, turning around and eye Sirena and River. “Why are you following us?”
Aziz squinted. “I asked them to.”
“Yes, but why are they here?” Came a light voice. It was soft- if not tired, and from behind the narrow rows of bushes a long, and almost unspeakbly thin grey female strolled out. To say she looked horrendous was an understatement- but she’d lost much of the fear quality she once invoked. Now she was thin and sickly, and her face unusually pale. With some intent, she turned her ringed eyes upon the women. “I can see why Aziz has crawled back. But I am curious as to what she has implied of me.”
Had she brought them to kill her? Hah. That was unlikely. Aziz was disturbed, but she wasn’t an idiot. No- they must have wanted something. People rarely visited Ryukkii without some reason

She watched the pair intently with her dark eyes, watching the emotions on the male's face. He was an interesting but dangerous type from what little she had gathered on him and she knew that she'd have to keep a hold of her temper if she wanted to live.
It was time to slip into her next role, for Sirena had always been a good actress. With feanaro she had been the poor, desperate mother, wise and honourable. This time she would be the noble lady, calm, brilliant and respected.
The grey tints of evening cast her mottled fur so that it looked almost dusty, her head slanting up to gaze at the collection of wolves. Yes, now that the snarl was gone and her fur flattened she did indeed look quite harmless. It was as she was putting on her new face that Caruis turned to snap at them, his words prickling the fur along her neck so that it flinched a little. She did not like being spoken to in such a manner and it almost killed her to bite back a harsh retort. Luckily Aziz stepped in and then another wolf was entered into the fray. This one was sickly and weak, more frail than even Sirena in her aged and wounded state. It made the old girl feel somewhat smug at the fact that no longer could she be seen as the lowest in the pecking order.
At her question Sirena took the opportunity to step forth, raising her head and tipping forth her ears. We are here for information. Aziz says you can help. And that was it. Now she would be quiet and let the other old she-wolf explain. She was too tired for long-winded conversations and she was sure the black femme would know well enough what to say. She seemed oddly good with words.

River felt at a loss of what to do, she continued to say nothing and just follow them, the wolves who were complete strangers were interesting to say the least but she didn't care all that much for them, after all she was here for Ren andto protect Ren. She wasn't hear to talk.

“Help?” Ryukkii purred, and rolled her good eye towards Aziz. “Is that what she told you? Well my precious, I’m afraid whether or not I can help you depends entirely on what you are looking for.” The sickly wolf spoke. It was obvious that there was some pain involved with the speech- but her voice did not waver as she did. In fact, it was eerily still. “- and of course, whether or not what you are looking for is worthy of my attention. Is it now? I dare say I don’t have much time to the world. Do not waste my time if your question is not important.” She pooled. She put pressure on some of her words- but mostly, they were calm, and soft.
Aziz shot a nervous glance from Ren to Carius. Carius was adoringly looking in the cancerous witch’s direction, and the black female bristled. How to break him of this attachment?

Sirena snorted, her nostrils flaring as she raised her head further and shifted so both forepaws pressed neatly together. Don't speak to me in such a manner. Do you think you are an alpha to talk down to me with your words? We are all lone here and let us respect one another for it. Her tone was firm but there was no threat there. It was a habit of Sirena's to treat other lones with a silent respect. She knew how much easier it was to live in a pack and took great pride in the fact she had survived so long without one.
I am searching for a lost pup of mine, perhaps you know of him? She eyed the female shrewdly, her eyes darting briefly back to the large male. He is runtish male with a white and brown pelt who goes by the name of Gizmo.
Her jaw set and for a moment she looked a little uneasy. This was it. If this line failed then what else could she do?
