River's Intro

[ienzodarkness]

Luna padded slowly into the Council Site,inhaling deeply. This is where you'll stay for the time being, she explained,twisting her head around to look at River. I'll go get the Alpha for you. Don't go anywhere else. Stay here.

[River]

River looked over to the Warrior,biting back the urge to roll her eyes. Stop treating me like a pup, she barked,shaking out her pelt. I'll stay here. It's not like I know my way in this territory,anyway. I won't go anywhere else.
Saying this,the white-pelted wolf sat down behind the Warrior,rolling her neck and shoulders.

[ienzodarkness]

Luna growled softly,shrugging. She has SUCH a big attitude.
Alright. I'll come back as soon as possible. Remember; Move,and I won't be the one biting your tail.
Moving away from River,she inhaled silently and nervously. I just know I'm going to get killed for this...
Shaking the thoughts from her head,she began to silently make her way back to the den.
(Transition to Falls Den)

[River]

River watched the Warrior take her leave,and narrowed her green eyes.
It's not like I would go anywhere, she muttered darkly,shrugging.
Turning,she laid down with her head on her paws,waiting for whoever it was to come and see her again.

[Revera]

(Sorry for the absence guys. Crazy stuff going on lol)

Revera padded into the den just ahead of Luna. Her scarlet fur shifting in the wind and bringing with it the scent of a wolf she had never met. Female, young, northern scent. Probably has thick fur. I don't envy that. The alpha thought.

Before her the white wolf had fallen asleep. She was about the same size as Luna if not a little smaller. Her young niece was turning into quiet the large female and more and more like her mother every day. Revera wagged her tail softly toward Luna and turned to the new prospet. "Rise young wolf, and speak your peace."

[sparrow]

Sparrow followed the scent of stuck up alpha to the entrance of a cave smelling of many wolves. He felt the cool gravel of the wall. All the scents were stale from weeks of abandonment. Only the smell of a few females seemed fresh enough to be around. He flicked his tail toward Kiki and Rowan for them to take a post across the den entrance while Zorro hung back as their surprise mover. He would hold Revera and her tiny troop in the cave. Tearing them down one by one in their own little traps.

[Kiki]

Kiki sat just outside the den with Rowan on her side and the wall on the other. Her eyes sparkled with pure glee at this plan. Trapping the alpha in her own cave was genious! How would the little tree wolf get out. She couldn't jump out without running straight into Zorro and the others were dead meat. If they tried to force their way out they would only meet the defensive fangs and the perimiter of the entrance already brushed her hip. Good luck forcing past. She pricked her ears to locate any others but only the cool sound of the grass blowing in the wind could be heard.

Now just to wait and watch for the fight of their lives She thought with a grin.

[River]

River was suddenly stirred awake by a bark to one's voice she had never heard. Her eyes slowly fluttered open,and it took her a second to remember where she was before she was already swooping up and on her large paws. Her green eyes took in the large Warrior she had met before,but there was a new wolf who was much smaller than both the Warrior and River herself.

Is she the Alpha? the white wolf thought quizzically,ears flickering.

Shoving away the thought,she dipped her head respectfully,knowing it was either the Alpha or one of the Betas.

Hello, she stated calmly as an opening,before continuing. My name is River,and I hail from the North. I come to ask one if I could join this pack that seems to be thriving.

[ienzodarkness]

Luna blinked slowly at River,feeling her pelt prickle.
NOW she's being nice, she thought dirtily,tail flicking.
Gazing around her,Revera and River,she felt as if something was.....Off.
She licked her chops nervously,glancing down at Revera.
Could she feel it too?

[Revera]

Revera could feel herself prickling from Luna's nervous gestures. Did she know something the alpha didn't?

"Luna, do you have something to say? You look upset."

[ienzodarkness]

Luna shifted uncomfortably,shrugging stiffly.
I'm not sure Revera, she barked slowly, But....I'm not sure. It just feels like something isn't right. That something's wrong.
She looked between the two wolves.
Was she just over-reacting over something?

[Revera]

Revera flicked her ears and sniffed. She couldn't deny a certain ombience perferating the air. Her hackles rose as she cast a stiff look to the new wolf. "Looks like we'll know exactly what your made of pretty soon River wolf." The red alpha barked turning toward the entrance of the cave.

Her golden eyes locked on the flicker of movement further down. Instantly she scanned the walls for footholds and folliage. Without the prescence of rain not even mold grew in abundance here. The alpha had no upperground if they were surrounded.

She sighed and flicked her eyes to her niece then to the wolf that was her polar opposite. Both had the flare of battle in their eyes. She dropped her voice so the others wouldn't hear. "River, Luna, I don't know how many are in but lure them inside to the wider part of the cavern. Fight until you get your back to the entrance and bolt. There's no penalty for protecting your skins. Hear me?" She barked looking from one to the other.
***
Outside the drone of the alpha's voice had fallen silent. Sparrows golden fur stood in a nervous ridge over his broad shoulders and thick mane. The king of the Kings bared his fangs and stood bringing the others to their paws. Kiki looked ready to burst with excitement while Rowen stood neater and braver. He smiled to his warriors. They were ready. No one would escape alive this night.

[ienzodarkness]

Luna felt her eyes narrow,listening intently to her Alpha. Her eyes flickered suspiciously to River. Though she didn't trust the white wolf as much as she'd be comfortable with,they needed to work together to get out of this.
Nodding to her Alpha,she whispered back All clear,Ma'am.
Motioning with her head to River,her eyes flared with the thought of a fight.

[River]

River's eyes gazed between the two.

She's just trusting me? With her Warrior? She looked upon the Warrior,ears flickering as she inhaled sharply,immediately realising what had caused the alarm.

Must not be a good Warrior.

Looking down at who could only be the Alpha,she nodded.

Heard loud and clear, she confirmed quietly,eyes flaring. She locked on eyes with the slightly larger Warrior,already knowing what she meant. Already it was as if a secret message flowed between the pair.

Throwing her head to the side,she indicated to the Warrior to lead.

[ienzodarkness]

The dark-pelted wolf allowed her crystal eyes to meet the emerald green,and blinked slowly. She already knew what River was asking of her.
Silent paw steps was the first action Luna made. Her cold and steely pads crossed the ground,leading to the wider part of the cavern.
She smelt River's scent behind her,and breathed in short and silent breaths,before pausing,back turned.
This time,she would embrace what her brother always did.
The spirit of War.
