The trees suddenly stilled ahead as a noise like deep thunder bled from the path infront of the the trio. Quickly the alpha shot back to the tree line and looked about. Why hadn't she noticed that the grass was damaged here and that the air was stale?
she snorted and listened once more. The noise was gone. It's growl still burned as a memory in her ears but the true sound had disappeared.
"Luna?" She barked turning back to find her warriors. "Are you two alright?"

As soon as Luna had padded out towards Revera,a horrible noise as loud as thunder roared ahead of them. Hurriedly,she grabbed onto Kross' ear tight and managed to quickly haul both of them out of the way and back to the trees on the other side. She let go of Kross and mumbled a quick apology,before listening for the noise. Nothing. She shook her pelt,shaking off the sudden fear the exploded inside her as soon as that loud noise hit her ears. Was that one of the monsters Revera spoke of? Hearing Revera's voice,Luna moved out from the trees and found her Alpha. Don't worry,we're both fine she reassured.

The alpha breathed a sigh of relief and stepped close to both her warriors. "Let's stick together through this. If something happens I would rather we stand together." She huphed. Despite her sure voice Revera's heart was going a mile a minute. She was sure she'd heard a shiny pelt monster. It's deep growl was hard to forget.
Nervously she put one paw infront of the other and headed toward the sound. The wind was still blowing behind them making scenting ahead impossible. Dirty brown snow lined the mounds of tree roots on either side. "Whatever this is, its incredibly filthy." The alpha snapped. Her beautiful forest was being ruined by these things.

Luna nodded and carefully (and painfully slow) followed her Alpha,with Kross right behind her. She scowled at the sight of the trees and snow. It's absolutely filthy! she sneered,snorting. She kept extremely close to both Kross and Revera,her paw steps cautious. She didn't like this place one bit. It reeked of a strange scent that even she could smell rather easily,and it made everything dirty and ugly.

"We will have to-" Another growl stopped the alpha cold. Her fangs slipped from their saliva lined sheaths to protect her warriors from the thundering monsters but once more it died away before she could move.
"It's definately a Shiny pelt." The alpha growled as she tried to let her fur settle back. She turned to her warriors hoping all they saw in her eyes was determination and not the fear she held so tight withen her. "We are facing something huge, bigger than bears even. They have paws that never leave the ground and their pelts are shiny like ice hit by the sun. We need to be careful." She stated.

Luna jumped as she heard another growl,and like Revera and Kross,her hackles raised,and she snarled,prepared to protect her pack mates. As it died down,she allowed her hackles to fall back, turned her attention to Revera and listened intently to her. Paws that never leave the ground? she repeated. All this sounds impossible and unbelievable! But I've heard its noises now,and I know for a fact that what you speak of has to be true she stated,her body stiffening. Careful is one thing we'll definately be She glanced to Kross,nodding,a silent way of telling him that she really meant that.

Revera nodded and headed forward once more. The path was open in front letting the light shine on some strange black rock that cut in a straight line across the path and beyond. Blocking that was more vines but of a different shape. There were wooden branches sticking up every now and then and no thorns on the shiny vines.
"This, she barked to both of them. Is a shock vine...I think. Vikas said there were some that didn't have lightning but I've yet to see it. We can't be to careful about it. It smells like that rock is what's fouling up the air. It will probably mess with your nose so focus more on what you hear and see. I want you two to head down that way." she barked motioning to the left. "While I go this way. if you find anything howl for me. I'll do the same for you. If a monster comes. Hit the trees don't attack. Clear?"

Luna nodded,glancing over towards where she and Kross were now headed. Clear. C'mon Kross,lets move out She turned,throwing her head back so she could see Revera. Be safe,Alpha Then,she walked at a swift pace with Kross,looking out for anything that could seem suspicious in anyway. On Alpha and Beta I hope nothing happens to Revera...

Revera nodded and sniffed along the the outer edges sending a prayer to Rayne to be with her daughter now. She'd never forgive herself if something happened to Luna.
Her honey eyes took in the black rock. She could almost see the waves of heat bending the woods beyond into some strange melting vortex. The alpha growled at its unnatural beauty.

Luna walked at a steady pace,a comfortable silence wafting around her and Kross as they investigated the reeking forest. The odd smell was starting to make her feel dizzy,and there was more slop stuff on the remains of snow. She snorted,shaking her head,glancing at Kross. This is absolutely disgusting. These things are destroying the forest she spat,making her head spin slightly. Well,we better keep on moving She kept on walking,but something seemed out of place to her on the strange coloured vines. She paused,her eyes narrowing. Come on Kross. Don't get too close though,we don't know what might happen She sneakily crept towards the strange vines,her curiousity urging her to go closer though her mind screamed not to go too far. She stopped,sitting on her haunches,a few paw steps away from the strange vines. There was a hole. A large hole near the bottom of the vines,which strangely made her feel uneasy. It looked as if it'd been gnawed at by something....someone. She growled low in her throat,lifting up her head and howling. Revera! We've found something! She let her head drop,as she eyed the large hole. The Shiny Pelts sound so big...They couldn't fit through this,could they?

Revera heard the summonce and immediately followed it back to where her warriors were. In a few seconds she was there. "Report." she ordered looking around for anything potentially dangerous.

Luna lifted a paw and pointed it to the large hole. Hole she stated bluntly. It seems large,and it also seems to be the only way in and out of this place from what we could see. I don't think it's big enough for a Shiny Pelt though,but it looks as if something's gnawed its way out She locked eyes with Revera. And that thing could be somewhat,if not entirely,dangerous

Revera turned to what her apprentice was signaling. It certainly did look like something, a beaver maybe?, had chewed itself through. "The vines would have shocked the crap out of that thing." Revera mused. Her ears flicked with an idea and she hurried to try it. It wasn't long before she dug up and a stick and tossed it against the fence like Vikas had before. No bright shock or hum happened. "It doesn't have lightning." She barked sniffing the vines. "That's a relief." She pawed the vines and felt the cold shiny leave scratches on her pads. With strained ears she watched one side of the path to the other. "Cover me." The alpha barked dropping her body low enough to fit under. "I'm going in."

(Lolz XD) Luna nodded,hurriedly rising to her paws and stepping slightly closer to the strange vines,her shoulder blade just brushing against it. Cold,and unnatural. She signalled for Kross to keep a look out ahead as she scanned the sides,trying her best not to focus on the foul scent that seemed determined to run up her nose.

Revera's heart thudded in her chest as the points of the vines dug in her sides. With a little wiggling she was on the other side and glimpsing Luna through the vines. She hated the feeling. It was like she would never get to come back to her family. "Stop freaking yourself out." She chidded under her breath and moved off. The black rock was farther away then she'd first realized. She hated going so far from her warriors but her curiosity led her to the lip of the rock. She sniffed over it and pulled away with a burn in her nose such that she'd never felt. "This thing." She snorted pawing her nose. "So disgusting." She growled and padded along its shell then on top. The rock was warm, warmer than many others she'd stepped on. The alpha snorted and stepped off. Whatever this thing was... The growl started again putting the alpha on edge. Instantly her eyes flew back to the hole as the monsters shiny pelt gleamed on the path. "Run." She howled to her warriors as she scurried like a rat back to the tree lines and through the hole but not before the monster was passing and not before the monster backed up...
