Luck was with her. Lachesis was nearby, which gave her less time to mull over her options. Although initially displeased upon arrival (and for good reason) Jynx knew that this was once instance where such behavior could be excused. With time against young Oskana trapped and injured on a mountainous ledge, simply waiting at the borders patiently could do more harm than good. When this was all over, whatever the outcome Lachesis declared for Pip, she would stand by.

At his command and as another small white female, Anastasia arrived, her eyes locked firmly onto the hurriedly retreating form of the mute little wolf. With a short, powerful burst of her hind legs she launched herself into motion just a tails length behind her snowy leader. Beneath her paws the snow covered earth soon transitioned to slick stone. She had come from the mountain. This couldn't be good. Her plan had been to take the safer route down through the surrounding woodlands to Oak Tree Bend, bypassing the slopes of the mountain altogether. But for now, those little plans of hers were on hold. A feeling of dread overcame her as she neared, seeing Pip so anxiously waiting for them by that ledge. Looking down to someone.

Oksana Baranski

Oksana had faith that Violet would find someone that could help get her off the ledge. She stood on her hind legs one front leg on the wall of stone that towered above her for a short time after Violet disappeared. When she lowered herself back down careful to not let her hurt leg touch the face of the ledge she watched the edge of the cliff above her where her friend had been. After a while though she curled up on the ledge to keep warm.

The wind blew at her fur and the cold made her leg hurt worse. Every so often she would whimper. Bad thoughts started to go through her mind. What if Violet didn't make it back in time? What if she fell off the ledge? What if there was something really wrong with her leg? What if she fell and died? She let out a small growl, she couldn't think like that or she would be giving up before help even got there. Oksana didn't give up ever she wasn't going to give up on Violet and herself now no matter how cold it got.

She had closed her eyes and covered her nose with her tail and had nearly fallen asleep when she felt some snow fall on her. Looking up she saw Violet above her. She nearly screamed in joy when the small woman's face appeared over the edge. Loud whines did sound in her throat, Violet you made it back, she cried, Did you find someone to help? She raised back up on her hindlegs putting her good paw against the wall, Violet, my leg hurts worse, she told the woman not knowing if she could help with it.

Anastasia was quick to appear after the ghost, her cerulean gaze searching from the trembling loner for answers. Fortunately, the mute did not waste any time. As soon as she realized she was not being punished (yet) for crossing over the Driftwood borders she—Squeak—took off through the trees. He threw a quick glance to both of his packmates before following suit, his long legs carrying him quickly through the foliage as he struggled to keep up with the small loner. She certainly was much faster than she looked.

They headed west, to the mountain. The ground had begun to grow more rugged, only causing Lachesis’ anxiety to skyrocket as the agouti loner slowed to a stop. His nose twitched as a familiar scent reached him, urging him forward. Oksana! His steps slowed as he maneuvered through the snow, careful to not repeat the crow’s tumble over the ledge. He peered over, his chartreuse gaze seeking out the girl’s dark shape among the white powder. Oksana! He called out, relief flooding through him as he examined her from a distance. Are you okay—does anything hurt? He glanced back over his shoulder, seeking out the shapes of Jynx and Anastasia. Look for a branch. Something long. She’ll need to grab onto it.

Anastasia Starklen

Without a moment's hesitation she followed suit after her leader and the scurrying wolf that had ushered them forward. Nimble legs swiftly move at Lachesis and Jynx's flanks, blue eyes carefully watching if their sudden scout moved in any direction though it seemed she sent them spiraling into the Mountain of Dire to their southwest. A place that Anastasia had only been to once or twice, though not in this particular area. She followed close but cautiously, hoping that whatever they were being led to would prove to be as important as she was led to believe.

As they moved closer and the small woman halted at a cliffside, Anastasia moved to stand at Squeak's side, looking down and realizing why they had been brought here. Oh my spirits! Anastasia gasped, surprised and horrified to see Oksana believe hurt and no doubt scared. Through the faint whisper of the chill she could hear Oksana call the girl in front of them Violet - a conundrum that would be thought about later, no doubt, since the small girl apparently had two names - and before she had a chance to react or question, Lachesis looked to her and Jynx and insisted they find something to pull her from the ledge.

No matter if it were Lachesis or anyone else, Anastasia immediately turned to look for something long and bulky that could serve to pull the weight of the dark girl. At least something that could pull up a hundred pound woman without issue. Anastasia set to work, presumably with Jynx scavenging too, before sniffing around in the snow for something good.

It took a few minutes of hard searching before her nose found something hard and Ana pushed the snow away from it with her muzzle and opened her haws to begin removing it from the earth. Snow slipped from around its girth, a lengthy stick that she doubted was able to be broken in two. A hard gulp and she began to drag it back through the snow towards the group. She set it down, awaiting their decision as to if this would work.

Pip Mizuno-Sørenson

While Pip's sides heaved for air - she'd made the run twice and hadn't wasted much time about it - she could feel only relief to watch Lachesis immediately leap into action. A branch was a smart move that she hadn't even considered, too panicked for the pup to use her brain effectively. All she had been able to think about was help, help, help, but at least she'd been successful in that. Pip supposed that's what a pack was for anyway; working together to complete goals. Though she had been part of today's effort, the mute was very much aware that she was still an outsider looking in.

Despite that, she set her eyes on Oksana. There was still good she could do.

With her hind paws firmly set to prevent her from slipping over, Pip perched herself right on the edge where her forepaws partly dangled down so she could reassure the dark female with smiles and nods as the others worked to find a branch. She wanted her to know she would be here until she was safe. And she would be safe. There was absolutely no way the little mute would accept any other reality.

Jynx Myrddin

As she was met with the voice of desperate and relieved Oksana, she peered over the edge of the drop off, a whine catching in her throat. A simple statement uttered by the child grabbed her. Her leg was hurting, bad. Golden eyes now wide with concern, they zeroed in on the paw she was favoring. Shit. This was not going to be so simple as hoisting her up on a long branch. With a bad paw thrown in the mix, the rescue party would have to take extra due care.

As soon as Lachesis' command slipped into the air, she whirled around in a flurry of agouti fur to assist Anastasia in searching for a long, sturdy limb that they could lower to their troubled pack mate. In seconds she was by the pale female's side, pawing diligently through the snow to uncover the branch. Strong jaws clamped around the opposite end to assist her in carrying it back before setting it down. At it's tail end, she stationed herself, ready to use her own body weight to anchor it securely against the ground when the others slid it forward and down to Oksana. "Just hang tight." She called softly to her, her own motherly instincts beginning to rev up. "We'll get you out of there and taken care of." Jynx had no ties to the young female, but she was still a pack mate. Which made her family.

Seeing Violets face appear over the edge that she'd fallen from only renewed her determination to not give up. She raised herself carefully up in her back legs her good paw bracing herself against the side as she tried to reach her friend.just a small touch with her nose so she could be sure she was really there. Then Lachesis face appeared and the pup gasp so happy to see the pale healer. For the most part, it's just my leg it hurts really bad and I can't use it, she called up to the alpha. The crow was happy that Violet had found Lachesis, she hoped he could make her leg feel better.

Then Ana’s face appeared and a woman that she had seem around the surge but hadn't yet met. Her hopes of getting off the ledge soared. Her tail wagged behind her as she faintly heard Lachesis give the order to find something to help her up. Then the woman that she didn't know spoke to her telling her to hang tight and they would take care of her. I'm just so glad to see you all, she called up. She looked back to Violet wanting to thank her for her help but she wanted to do it properly when she got off the ledge.

Lachesis "XIX" Stark

His subordinates did not hesitate to leap into action as they scrambled along the mountainside, searching for the perfect branch to help Oksana with. His attention refocused on the little crow as she responded to his question, a frown growing across his pale maw. I’ll take a look at it once we get you out, he hummed in response, his tone kept low as he attempted to comfort the girl from a distance. It didn’t look broken—there was nothing sticking out of it; no weird angles. It was likely that she had sprained, or bruised, something from falling. He hoped it was as simple as that.

When Anastasia and Jynx returned with the branch he flashed the crow a reassuring smile before returning his focus on their current task. Oksana, we’ve got a plan, he called down as he pushed the branch closer to the edge of the ledge, we need you to grab onto the branch with your teeth. Hold on as tight as you can and don’t let go. He turned back to the trio to address them, his brows pinched tight with determination: Once she grabs onto it we’ll pull her up using the branch. It was easier then sending one of them down to the ledge to retrieve her. They would just have to be quick.

Picking up the branch he lowered one end to the crow before he motioned, with a flick of his tail, for the others to grab on…

Anastasia Starklen

Fear was quite evident in her bones as Jynx assisted and getting the large branch over to XIX and Squeak. Anxious and scared of Sana's situation and hoping that they might manage to make it work. Jynx and Lachesis had already said enough that seemed to mimic anything that Ana would have said to the girl, but Anastasia still in her head continued to repeat she'll be okay, she has to be in her mind. Sana might not be of relation to Anastasia aside from a smart girl that Ana wanted to help at any length but she, like always, felt a nurturing motherly twist. It was displayed tenfold now, praying that Sana was alright down there.

Once they began to lower one half of the branch down, Anastasia continued to hold onto it until she could see it reach just close enough for Sana to try and find a solid hold on it. With all four of them helping to bring her up and the hope to save their pack mate, Ana was thrilled to see everyone working together to make this less of an ordeal that it currently felt.
