Cedarwood Forest lostmyhead

Would like it if @Pip or @Yvly popped in here, but open to any GH wolf :D




The sea princess was desperate to find her younger sister. She had detected the scent of the mute Mizuno close to where the Bella wolves were currently denning and had lost it just as quickly as she had found it. The further north she went, the more frequent she found the little fisher’s scent — but every time she found it again it was different. It seemed that little Pip was doing a much better job at adapting to her new surroundings; the salty stench that engulfed all the sea wolves was slowly leaving her little sister. The thought made her heart throb and her head hurt. They needed to be back home, where they belonged; not here.

A frown cut across her lips as she weaved through the trees, her mix-matched eyes burning with determination. Being surrounded by so many trees was not ideal — she missed the feeling of coarse sand between her toes and the barnacle-covered rocks that littered the shore. She missed the tide pools that were home to the many clams she and her family often gorged on, and he rushing river that was home to the fish she caught for the pack. The trees — this was Blitz’s element. He was the hunter; he knew how to expertly maneuver through the dense foliage. To her, it was nothing but an annoyance and she wanted nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, until the sea wolves came to a conclusion what to do about their new surroundings, she would have to put up with it. Hopefully it would only be temporary.

As she went further north the scents began to change. She was close to pack territory, which meant she had to be careful. Niq’x kept her distance, her nose pressed to the ground to ensure she did not cross over any borders. The last thing she wanted was a scuffle with a pack wolf. She merely wanted to find her sister, and from what she could tell these wolves knew something — it was where her sister’s scent was the strongest.

Throwing Blitz in here as well!
<3

Blitz was to say the least, royally pissed off. His missing sister, Pip, had been found. And, she was with a pack. While it was all well and good that she was alive and safe, what irked him was the fact that she was mingling with the natives and not her own family. They needed to get her back. Although more familiar with wooded terrain than the rest of his family, the dark Mizuno male was no happier in such settings. The forest felt far too closed in, too suffocating and dark. Far too earthy and damp smelling to his nose. He craved wide open spaces, sunshine and the grit of sand between his paws.

With Kelp having seemingly vanished, be it temporarily or permanent, Blitz shouldered the responsibility himself as head of their small group. He certainly wasn't the oldest, but his decisiveness and bold nature suited him for the task. His recklessness however, was bound to get him into trouble, if he pushed too far. Which is exactly why when @Niq'x set off, on the trail of @Pip's scent, he clung to her side. Not only did he personally want to find their youngest sibling himself, but he had the safety of his other sister in mind as well. Nose to the ground, poison eyes narrowed in concentration, he huffed as the salty scent of his mute sister grew stronger and stronger. What was disturbing was the heavy traces of cedar and pine, and other wolves intermixed with it. The scent of the local pack was thick in the air, but they were not yet trespassing. Sparing a glance to Niq'x, he stopped. "She's not far...I know it..." Overcome by a sudden hormonal surge of protectiveness, Blitz slunk forward. Blatantly disregarding the heavily marked pack borders with raised hackles and a lashing tail. He was hell bent on finding Pip, even if it meant disrespecting the most basic of pack edict. Niq'x would have to reel him back in, under control before he really crossed the line.

There is a deer that was killed by a lynx nearby. +10 Health

Had you been there tonight, you might know how it feels to be struck to the bone!

Stranger.

Stranger, stranger, stranger.

It was like a dozen sirens were blaring inside Veho’s skull as the scent of two foreign wolves braced his nostrils whilst on his patrol.  Not even a full day after his evening with Oula, and already intruders?  What could they possibly be here for?

The broad-set male went galloping through his forest as he sent his own call up, alerting the other adults to the trespass currently taking place.  It did not take long to hone in on the pair of wolves, and moments later, he burst from the trees in Blitz’s path.  Lips curled upwards to reveal an unspoken threat as his tail quivered high above his back.  Ears pinned flat against his regal crown.  His intention was clear.

“You will stop,” he demanded with a hoarse bark, drawing himself up to his full height.  While fighting was not generally in his nature, Veho had no intention of letting these strangers any further into his domain, regardless of any violence that may come to pass.  There was so much more at risk now – and who were they, to so blatantly ignore a pack law?  “You will stop now, or I will stop you, Ancestors so help me.”

Hocus had seen Veho cross before, but the ferocity held in the resonating moan was new to the saint who had been pacing the borders just beyond his old childhood haunts. The silver man, usually so cool he was nearly detached, had a tone that was deeply primal. Then again, one of the oldest laws of the wolf had been transgressed. Hocus himself could smell it too now, the stench of a stranger drifting through the breeze as he trotted towards the source of Veho's call. As her wove through the trees of his youth, he considered the possibilities of what awaited him just inside the border's at the silver medicine man's side.

1.  The trespassers came with bad intentions
2.  It was an honest, stupid mistake
3.  They were about to receive a much harsher treatment than Hocus had
4.  A fight could break out
5.  The sinners could be anywhere, everywhere
6.  Someone had to be stopped. 
7.  He wasn't sure if it was the trespassers.
   

His breath was ragged when at last his body stopped, inches from the silver tipped fur that reached out from Veho's body. Ahead of them were two yearlings: a large dark one and a more moderate sized brown one. Only the dark one had passed over the markers. Only the dark one displayed any hostile posture, with his fur bristling and his tail raised. Hocus glanced sideways at Veho, raising his own tail to a level comfortably below his leader's. Solidarity was important to the white man, who wanted to offend no one before he figured out what was going on. Otherwise, he remained silent, an arbiter of the dangerous situation.

Oula Whitebark
cover me with salt now, show me how

Oula's fur bristled at Veho's call, his message clear; intruders. The woman had already been on a hair trigger as of late, and she spared not a moment's hesitation in rushing towards the patch of forest where Veho's summons had gone up. Her paws flew beneath her as she ran, leaving a spray of snow in her wake, her lungs like a bellows as she deeply inhaled the frigid air. She was already seeing red, and the thick scent of strangers made her stomach coil and burn angrily in her gut.

As the Whitebark woman barreled forth, her eyes slid over the backsides of Veho and Hocus before settling on the two strangers. Intensely possessive and territorial, her lips puckered in a snarl, small brown ears folded and sage eyes narrowed to furious slits. Maybe on a different day, Oula would have stopped and calmly discussed things, gotten their side of the story. But today was very much a day of shoot first, ask questions later. Like a freight train she was utterly unstoppable. With a noise that could be best described as a bellow she ran straight past her packmates, throwing herself into the closest of the intruders, a massive wall of inky black fur.

Upon hearing the alarm call warning of intruders, Pip wasn't certain whether she was meant to stay in Veho's den or rise to the call. She was meant to rest - and truly, she was no good in defending lands from those who would mean harm - but the young female knew she had a duty to her pack as well. With duty overruling her anxiety concerning confrontation, Pip rose and began limping towards Veho's furious call.

Likely any blood shed would be over before she was able to make it there, she told herself. Feeling guilty for the thought of getting out of potential fighting in that way, Pip pushed herself to move faster. However, nothing could spurn her into a faster pace than the familiar scent of home on the wind. Granted, Grizzly Hollow had absolutely become a home. Pip couldn't be more happy with her new packmates and how accepting they were of her presence. But the scent of sea spray on the wind had her heart lurching painfully and urging her on faster than she should go in her condition.

On her arrival, the tension was palpable. In a heartbeat, the yearling took in the way Veho's fur stood on end, the fierceness of his stance that made him appear far more intimidating than she had learned him to truly be, the white male silent at his side, and a gray female charging straight for...

Blitz. Pip's breath caught in her throat. And behind him stood Niq'x.

On a soundless cry, the yearling bolted awkwardly past Veho and Hocus on three legs and, in a panic, forced herself between her brother and her packmate as anxious, plaintive chirps tumbled from her parted lips.

Don't fight, don't fight, please don't hurt each other, I'm sorry! It's my fault, I'm sorry!

How long had she been hoping to find her siblings? And now that they were here...she couldn't bear to see them torn apart by the family she had been accepted into. No, she wouldn't let it happen! Even if she had to be torn apart instead.

SWEET NIBLETS BLITZ WHAT DID YOU DO





Blitz had joined her, as expected. As much as she adored her brother he was reckless. Just like Niq’x was, her brother was hellbent on finding their sister; however, Blitz did not seem to care about how they were to get her. Her brother’s voice distracted her from her thoughts, her mix-matched gaze narrowing as she studied him. Without warning, the dark Mizuno lurched forward, completely disregarding the pack borders in place. “You idiot! Get back here!” She snarled after him but she dared not move. Her brother may be foolish, but she was not.

It did not take long for members of the resident pack to investigate. She cursed under her breath as a strong scent reached her nostrils followed by a booming voice — the alpha. Dammit brother! Just as expected, her brother’s recklessness was going to get them in trouble and she couldn’t afford to lose another Mizuno. She desperately wanted to chase after her brother and pull him back but she would not cross the borders and cause more trouble.

“Blitz, fall back! I’m sorry! We mean no harm, we’re looking for our sister!” She was shouting across the invisible line as another approached; a pale male who offered nothing but his presence. Back up. She was going to severely beat the shit out of her brother later — this was unacceptable.

However, it seemed another wolf would beat her to the punch. A large female entered the scene without a word and threw herself at the inky Mizuno — except another approached, attempting to launch herself between the inky blob and the alpha female. “Pip!” She shouted, tears threatening to spill from the corners of her eyes as she took a shaky step forward. The sea princess froze instantly; she dared not take another step. “That’s our sister — Pip! Please, we meant no trouble, we’ve just been looking for her! My brother — he was not thinking clearly, let us explain!” Words fell off her tongue in a desperate attempt to calm the situation. 

OOC Comments: Hope its ok for me to throw Tyne in there :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last week or so had been sort of eventful for the Kersey male as he traveled around the regions of relic lore to gain a better understanding of where he and his packmates had ended up. He had an array of encounters, mostly pleasant with a few short meetings, but nothing could have prepared him for what he was about to stumble on to.
 
He had been traveling south from Stonewatch Timbers. He decided that it was probably a good time to return to his packmates after his meeting with @Raela. The agouti male had been traveling at a steady trot when his charcoal dusted audits caught the commotion. Pausing momentarily he heard numerous voices the first was unknown but the second to speak was that of Niq’x. Instantly assuming the worst the tawny yearling took off towards her voice.
 
The scene he appeared on was what he had feared. He could see a sliver male with a very aggressive dominant stance with an ivory male next to him. Looking past them he sees a familiar cream and grey female intertwined with none other than Blitz with Pip dashing towards them. Niq’x was standing on the correct side of the pack borders and trying to explain to the pack wolves that she and Blitz had only been looking for their sister. Not wanting to make the situation worse Tyne stayed a safe distance away and kept his posture neutral and nonthreatening as to not madden the alphas more. Even though he kept his distance the tawny male would spring into action if necessary to protect his pack mates.

Well shit. He knew he was taking a huge risk by traipsing past a packs borders. And that he was bound to get caught sooner or later. Luck just so happened to decide for him, that he would be caught red handed almost instantly. His large black frame froze with a jolt as a slightly smaller, but no less impressive figure of a male lurched forward out of the trees. Commanding him to stop in his tracks, his body and voice reeking of dominance. The Alpha Male, no doubt. In an instant, Blitz's body posture had changed. His shoulders hunkered downwards, tail curling between his thighs. To make matters worse, not only had he been caught snooping by the Alpha himself, but the regal man had sent up a rallying call to the rest of his pack.

Time to make a retreat, before he got himself into even more trouble. Ears pressed down against his skull, but hackles still raised, Blitz silently took several slow steps backwards, towards the borders as a pure white male appeared, close to his leaders side. However, the next wolf who appeared, was far less forgiving. His bright green eyes went wide with alarm as @Oula came charging forth like a rampaging beast, barreling towards him, snarling. His paws scrambled against the earth, trying to backpedal him away and back towards @Niq'x. He was too slow, and as the woman came bearing down on him in all her fury, a flash of russet and brown fur dived in between the two colliding bodies.

Pip! Thank the gods, she was here! But at the worst possible time. He didn't want his dear sister to take a hit, especially when she was already injured, although unbeknownst to him. He had to act fast here, in order to spare both himself and his voiceless sibling a world of pain. And there was only one option. It was risky, but he had to do it. Acting on instinct, the dark Mizuno hunkered down over Pip, using his body to shield her protectively. By lowering himself as close to the ground as this position would allow, he expressed his full and complete submission. Lips drew back in a feral grin, tongue poking out between pearly white teeth. His body language screamed "I give up! I surrender! I won't fight you!" @Tyne and @Niq'x, he would leave to do the talking. He was the perpetrator here. All he could do was hope that these wolves would show mercy.
