Whisper Caverns Moving Time

Inali was asleep in the main den of the cavern, oblivious to the raging storm brewing outside. Two calls broke through her barrier of sleep, her ears pricking forward in attention. She blinked awake, the words of Narime and the barks of Sloane finally registering.

Barking loudly, her voice echoed through the caverns. It was a message to any of her fellow pack mates inside the caves. Their alphas needed them.

Standing on all four limbs, the young woman stretched quickly, her paws itching to run outside and help the family that graciously took her in.

Inali's paws quickly took her out of the den, and the woman lifted her head up to the sky. The rumble of thunder and the sound of crackling lightning made her fur stand on end. Bringing her head back to normal level, her blue orbs spotting the leading family of Whisper Caverns, a little ways a way.

The woman used her natural speed to reach them, weaving through the now familiar trees of her home. Her lithe body bowed slightly in respect to her alphas as she finally reached them.

Her eyes landed warmly upon the smallest pup, Yuka. She had grown fond of him, even though they only met once. "The others will come soon. I'll take Yuka. How's it going Big Guy?" Her last sentence was directed to the pup himself, using the special nickname she had given him. She sent him a smile of reassurance and licked his muzzle affectionately. She wanted him to know that he was safe with her. They all were.

Her head lowered again as her jaws opened and clamped softly onto the furry layer of the pups neck. Her grip was strong enough that he wouldn't be able to fall, and light enough so that she wouldn't hurt him.

Turning from her alphas, she gave a warm nod to the other two pups. Her head lifted to the sky as another bolt of lightning struck down, close enough that it made her flinch slightly. She knew rain would pour soon. And it would pour hard.

Her legs stretched as she ran back to the caverns. She hoped they would all be inside the den before it started to rain.

Titan wasn't entirely sure why they had stopped. He continued to glance up at the billowing sky through the long legs of his mother who stood protectively over the three siblings. He yelped in surprise when a shadow of red fur sped into view. At first he thought it was a monster that had appeared out of the storm. However the fresh scent of Sloane entered the boys nose allowing him to look over the red monster again.

"Dad!" Titan barked a greeting though because of the circumstances the dark lads tail did not wag as it normally would. In fact Titan stayed rigid beneath his mothers belly not wanted to move from the safe place near her.

It would seem however that he did not have a choice in the matter as Nari moved out from over him allowing Sloane near. Titan whined a complaint as his father picked up the pup by his black and silver scruff. Even though the boy complained, his body still naturally went limp in his Dad's firm grip. Unlike when his mother had held him before Titan's rear end was held higher off the ground while his tail tip dragged in the dirt. At least he didn't have to worry about a sore rump now that Sloane was carrying him.

"I'm scared..." He finally voiced his fear in front of his siblings as the russet wolf held him close. His blue eyes turned to look at his brother and sister as another unfamiliar wolf arrived. It was too dark for him to really see the wolf. All he could tell was that she was a girl. He watched the girl wolf pick up Yuka and wondered why Yuka looked absolutely fine with everything that was going on around them. He didn't even seem to mind the stranger picking him up.

"Where we going?" Titan pinned his eyes shut closing off the world around him but asking the question all the same. It didn't matter who answered right now. He just wanted to be back in the den. In a safe place.

Learn from these streets, it can be bleak,
Accept no defeat, surrender retreat...

Soo If I have this right then this should be everyone spare for @Kieth . Minka's injured, Simaea's holed up, and Asterion will not show. This will be the last round with them getting to the cave, calming down, ect..

Narimé was glad when the first to arrive was her mate. He looked very distraught which made her feel like she had done something wrong by moving the pups. However the woman just couldn't keep them near the open meadow in that tiny den as a storm approached them. "This storm.. I had to move them.." She gave her reasons for the quick move to her mate hoping he would understand. Though the silver wolf could already see that he was relaxing a tad bit after looking over their unharmed brood.

She tilted her head to lick Titan finally ready to answer his previous question. "I'm calling for our family and friends to help get us to our new home." She answered before stepping sideways allowing her mate to do what he had to do. The she wolf nodded as he spoke of taking Titan then spotted the form of another wolf fast approaching them. Inali came forward and Nari nodded in response to the rusty wolf's words.

Glad to see that Yuka and Titan had their escorts Narimé moved her nose over Malia making sure her little girl was doing okay. "Are you scared @Malia? Or are you having fun?" She gave her little red girl a lopsided grin then went to pick the child up by her scruff.

Flicking her tail straight up in what could have been a hunting command for "forwards or onward" Nari gestured for them to head off to the main den as quickly as possible. She only hoped the rain wouldn't catch them for the smell of it was permeating the thick air.

Yuka did not respond by the time a female brown-and-red wolf came over to pick him up. Malia looked up at her with a grumpy expression, wishing that Yuka would have just responded to her question already. Now losing interest, the girl looked and saw her daddy Sloane with Titan in his mouth, who was limp but still asking a whole bunch of questions. The Thorben was about to run over to him and request that she be carried when mom finally arrived. The gray-and-white wolf towered above her, and Malia saw lightning flash and the trees move back and forth behind her shield as she looked up at Narime. Calming down a little Malia nodded, feeling safer when her parents were close. Considering the question for a moment, the girl replied. "This is kinda fun, I guess." Malia relented. The lightning and thunder were kind of cool, but also overwhelming at the same time. Titan did not seem to like it too much especially.

Soon enough Malia felt something at the back of her scruff and her body went still as her legs hung down beneath her while she moved off the ground. The pup's body swayed back and forth as Narime made movements with her head, indicating a certain direction. The brown-eyed girl could do nothing but wait, squirming a little and wishing she could be back on the ground. "Speech"

Sloane had been worried initially seeing Narime' and the pups out in the middle of nowhere, unprotected in the middle of the night. But glancing up at the ominous night sky and feeling the chill of the building wind that preceded the stom, the huge alpha knew that she had made the right call on moving the pups. They were older now and there was no telling how the small cozy birthing den would hold up to such inclement whether. This did not look to be a simple rain storm by a long shot!

He looked down at his firstborn and could easily see his nervousness. He gave him encouraging smile and nuzzled all three of his children before pressing his head for a moment into the silky silver neck fur of his beloved mate. She had moved aside, giving him access to his son. As he lowered his head to gently take the Titan's black scruff in his mouth, the evidence of his mother's efforts were lighted with a flash of light. The boy's rump was covered with dust. A slight smile quirke one side of his mougth and he made doubly sure to lift the large pup high off of the ground. A much easier feat for him. Narime' was no small wolf, by any measure, yet next to his massive bulk, she seemed almost delicate.

Not long after he lifted his head, with Titan going limp with instinctive trust Inali arrived. The petite fae wasted little time in claiming responsibility for little Yuka, leaving the demanding princess for Narime'. Inali headed out, seeming to not be hampered in the least by his silver boy. With a nod to Narime' he to headed towards the safety of the main den, Narime' and Malia close by his side.

Knight of Honor

I'll make this the ending post

Quickly the silver wolf picked up little Malia and rushed after her mate and subordinate. Her silver tail was held stiffly out behind her worried about the incoming weather. At least they would be there soon In the cave happy warm and safe.

As they padded along she spotted the hill that the cave lay under through the dark. Carefully carrying little Malia forward Narimé sped towards the cave a loud sigh escaping from her muzzle through her little girls fur. They were home.
