Running through the forest, he could feel something behind him. He didn't know what, but he knew there was something there. He felt the malice and hatred clawing at his back. However, every time he looked back, there was nothing there. Soon, the Great God Lanos was running along with him gracefully, as if there wasn't any evil. Zai slowed in his tracks, looking up at the much larger wolf, almost twice his own size. As he looked around, the chasing evil being was no where to be seen. "The evil may not be here now, but be careful with your pack." Was all the God said to him, before disappearing. Once he left, the malice feeling was surrouding him, clawing at his pelt.

Zai woke up with a start, breathing heavily. He looked around at his pups and Arabelle, knowing he was just up in the Royal loft. He took a few deep breaths, nudging Arabelle with his nose. "Time to wake up." He stated simply, hopping down the loft. He looked around for some dogs to start a hunting patrol, he knew that Horus would take care of the Border patrols with the guardians.

Jovian watched a few leaves fall and land in the shallow creek under the bridge. He enjoyed walking the old human trails, finding some peace with just enjoying the forest instead of constantly hunting. During the hunts, he never got to pay attention to the trees and the scenery, as he was focused on the scent of Elk or some boar. However, he was just relaxed as he was now. He knew he would have to make his way back to the Cabin for the hunting patrols.

Jasper was taking care of his nightly duties, having already switched at midnight, he wasn't too tried yet. He looked at the sunrise, seeing the light wash over the trees and even hit the nearby creek. He stretched out his body, constantly scanning the area. He was always bouncing his head to a quick rhythm, a small habit he had to keep hims mind active and body moving. At the same time, he was scratching his paw on the wood below him at the same rhythm, enjoying the sound he gave himself something to focus on when it was slow.

Sakura wakes up at sunrise. She starts of by going to the pond, to drink some water and see if
there is any trail of a boar, hare or her favorite meal-the wild chicken.
Sakura rarely finds a trail of any animals,
they are all sleeping during that time.Only one or two rabbits were seen here by
Sakura during summer.After, Sakura drinks and swims in the pond, she lays down and
thinks about how life is going.But right as Sakura starts thinking about it, she remembers that Zai
is probably looking for some dogs on hunting patrol.Sakura would get up and get back to the pack.

Sephora would have a dream of running in the fields with her brothers and sisters.
But suddently, out of no where, an army of a different clan appears.
All her brothers and sisters die, and only Sephora stays alive.The leader of the army looks at her and laughs.
Sephora wakes up and sees her mom and the other pups, Sephora sighs and goes back to sleep.

Arabelle was curled up by her pups, sleeping soundly when Zai woke her up. "Time to get up already?" She murmured, yawning softly as she sat up. It was fall and today was a particularly cold day, making Arabelle shiver albeit her long, fluffy coat. She had to be careful; the Queen was currently pregnant with her and Zai's second litter, and it could very well bless them with the reincarnation. The collie carefully hopped down from the loft, bidding hello to a few of the other pack members that were hanging around the cabin.

oliver, the advisor location ; cabin front yard / tags ; open
Oliver yawned sleepily, stretching out his limbs. The husky couldn't find a way to sleep at all last night, terribly worn out and groggy. Oliver is one of those dogs that values sleep, knowing that not getting enough rest can lead to a lack in sharpness and put the pack into grave danger due to not paying attention well enough on the battlefield. But alas, the husky was restless and anxious, not being able to find any way to settle down and go off into dreamland.

elkie, the trainee location ; cabin porch / tags ; jasper
Elkie ran around the pack's territory with excitement, never slowing down. The great dane was always so happy for everything, zipping around with all of the energy in the world. She finally slowed a bit, hopping up the steps to the cabin to greet Jasper. "Hey, Jas!" The young trainee chirped, nuzzling the elder in greeting. She was always so happy to talk to Jasper, being that he was practicially family to her.

Alaster the hunter; Cabin loft | tags: open

Alaster opened an eye to gaze around the cabin loft, before making a show of yawning lazily and rolling onto his side. He watched his mother hop down from the loft, making sure to make his yawn as wide as he could manage, before sitting up and stretching once she was gone. Another day of boredom, it would seem.

Rosana the healer: Cabin | tags: Blair

Rosana shivered as she laid curled up in the corner of the cabin. She knew she should probably get up and wake Blair for his training, but in cold weather like this the whippet found it difficult to do anything but keep herself warm. She had surrounded herself with feathers and bits of moss she had boarded in her corner to fend off the cold, but it still bit into her thin pelt with an icy malice. The dog was always cold, she even seemed to be cold during spring, but the colder seasons often got to her in the mornings. Rosana nuzzled her nose into the warmth of the old Turkey feathers before letting out a long sigh and hauling herself to her feet, scanning the room for Blair.

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────


Silent, through the dew of the forest Blair crouched, downwind from a clan of rabbits amidst a copse of trees. He seemed to go unno
ticed, every step he took the smallest bit more careful than the last, ears upturned and watching in wait. He could remember a time
when he'd nearly got himself shot, his short life nearly made shorter by an instance. Despite being all the way out here, away from ca
mp, sitting directly close to the group, he didn't have much of an intention to hunt the rabbits, more so attempt to train himself how;
a broken paw from birth didn't get him far, but hell if he cared. If luck was in his favor he'd find an old, sickly hare that wouldn't be ab
le to outrun him. He visualized the idea for a moment, mind wandering before his gaze fell back upon the pack.

All seemed to be going well; birds still singing their morning songs, sun still shining, clouds vacant; yet what Blair hadn't considered wa
s his lack of hunting ability. He'd trained, but never gone on patrol, never gone with anyone else at all. And he'd had even less experien
ce in agility. His greatest flaw was his back foot, twisted and all, and it seemed to chase all the luck away from him. Within seconds, h
e slipped over a stick and fell nearly flat on his face, effectively spooking all the rabbits. Pelt prickling in embarrassment, the male tur
ned back in the direction of camp. "Damn rabbits," he cursed under his breath, yet there was an undeniable humor in his tone.

-----

The cold was no stranger to Blair, his fur growing in thicker for the new season. When he'd arrived back at the cabin that was his home
his cheeks were still red, though he was sure nobody would notice seeing as the temperature had dropped. In greeting, he nodded at h
is packmates present on the porch before entering. The cabin provided warmth, enough so he wasn't hypothermic but still on edge. H
e blinked, searching the house for a familiar face; right in front of him, Rosana. "Morning," he somewhat tiredly murmured, a lazy smi
le present on his otherwise stoic face.

Horus woke up just as the sun's about to rise. Blinking the sleep out of his eyes, the utonagan dog stood up shaking his thick fur greeting the new day with a sigh. It's a nice day, the cold breath of air many dogs complain of is only of a slight refreshing chill to his double layered pelt. horus pawed his snout, attempting to refresh his mind after a long nights sleep. Feeling energised, horus padded out of the cabin, straight up to jasper, who he sent on the second night watch. "Morning, how was last night?" his tail wagging ever so slightly to greet the dalmatian. "I am going to call the rest of the guardians for a morning patrol. You may stay behind to guard camp if you wish." horus watched the younger dog as he racked his claws on the wood, thinking some social interactions could do Jasper some good, get his mind off his ex-mate. After the male greeted the ever so excited elkie, horus gave a low howl to signal the guardians for an morning border patrol. He twitched his long tail and flicked his ears in annoyance when no dog had responded. "Hmpt, are we getting lazy now." horus barked to jasper, "Would you be as kind as to wake up the lazy butts in the cabin?"

Then out of the corner of his eye, horus spots sakura returning, the lapponian herder had been awake before his guardians. How embarrassing. Although he must admit, he feels a little close to Sskura. Majority of the dogs are young in the silver guardians, only a few surpassing 70 months, the oldest being dalilah. "Morning." He calls out, greeting the female dog with a small nuzzle.

Rhea had woken up to the sound of a familiar low howl. It was probably horus calling the guardians, she thought to herself before shaking the sleep out of her coat. The day was cold, and the wind flowing inside the run-down cabin felt chilling on her. The saluki shivered, trying to cover her nose with more feathers and fur. Although she had copied rosanna's technique of hoarding, autumn and winter was definitely not one of her liked seasons. Hearing koda speak with zai, rhea lets out a small huff. Since when does that young dog woke up so early, she rolled her eyes slightly. Padding out of the cabin, rhea could see the dalmatian and the spotted great dane chatting by the entrance. "Morning elkie, morning jasper."

Koda had been sleeping soundly when a series of cranking wood woke him up. Blinking open his eyes, the border collie spotted zai glancing around in the cabin. No doubt looking organising a hunting party. Ugh, but it's so early in the morning. Every member of the silver guardians would know that koda is not a morning dog. He preferred waking up in the warmth of the sun on his back, rather than the misty morning sky. Yawning, he stood up, stretching his tired limbs.

Morning zai, I could join the hunting patrol. koda offered, it would probably come as a surprise to the king that he would even volunteer in an early morning activity but he felt bored out of his mind staying behind.

Fleur lay in the cabin loft, her eyes wide awake. She had heard her father stir in his sleep before waking up suddenly in cold sweat. She hadn't spoken, but was still concerned for his wellbeing. She had noticed the older white shepherd on edge lately, worrying about the pack. fleur exhaled slowly, watching as the condensation forming as she breathed on her paws. She waited until her mother had gotten up and left the loft before getting up herself, murmuring a hello to her siblings. The collie yawned before climbing down the stairs herself. Noticing her mother at a corner of the cabin, she padded over "How are you feeling?" fleur said softly, glancing at arabelle with her soft blue eyes.

[~Wylla~]

Sakura's eyes would start to shine and fill with happiness when
she saw Horus.She would be wagging her tail and smiling.
"Greetings,Horus."-Sakura would say with a soft voice.
Sakura's dream was to get a family, but all of her
previous mates would leave her, breaking her heart.
For Sakura, it's hard to love someone, it almost looks like that she lost hope in
her dreams.
But when Sakura sees Horus she feels warmth.Although Sakura likes Horus,
she doesn't want to ge in the way of his responsibilities, her crush is a senior
guardian after all.

"Good morning." Rosana replied softly, stretching and shaking bits of moss from her fur. "You're up earlier than I expected. Is everything okay?" The whippet began to lead him off to where they had been temporarily storing the herbs in a crack to fend off the cold instead of in their usual spot. She nosed the herbs out of the crack and pawed through them as she awaited Blair's response, noting which ones they would need more off to prepare for the winter months, shivering slightly.

Zai shook the little chill out of his pelt, feeling the start of the cold season. "Good. We're going to be checking if any Elk are coming down from the mountains this soon. We could use their larger pelts for Rosana and Rhea, as well for the pups coming." They only had scraps of boar pelts at the moment, which was used to stuff some bedding for those with thinner coats. "Gather Fleur and Sakura, I believe their both awake by now. And also grab any hunters you see that aren't currently busy." He ordered. He saw potential in the young dog, he knew of his passion to be a guardian, but Zai knew he was more useful as a hunter. 'Either way, who's to say that a hunter can't help defend the pack if the time comes?' He thought, images of his horrifying dream coming back to him.

Jasper was about to let out a yawn when Elkie came along. "Yo, lil Elk." He greeted happily with a slight wag in his tail, using the nickname that he's called her since she was a pup. He had been guarding the cabin at night for a few nights in a row and he was starting to not see Elkie as much. "You showing that mentor of your's how great I was at teaching you, huh?" He teased, then Horus calling the Guardians. He sat up real quick for his superior, puffing out his chest. At the order to gather the others, he gave a nod of his head. "Yes, sir!" However, before he could run off to his duties, Rhea came over. "Yello!" He responded to her, going back to his normal cool demenour. He nodded to her and Elkie, grinning. "Talk to you two later." He gave a goodbye wag of his tail, going into the cabin to find the corner where the guardians slept. "Sabine, Valencia. Time to wake up." He said, prodding the two to get up.

Arabelle yawned again, stretching out. Her ears perked up at the sound of Fleur's voice, smiling weakly at her daughter. "I'm okay, just a little groggy." The collie murmured, nuzzling Fleur affectionately. "You should get outside, they'll be starting the patrols soon." Her smile was light, a sad and tired look in her eyes.

The young great dane nodded at Jasper, chirping a 'See you later!' before making her way into the cabin. Elkie passed through the other wolves carefully, saying soft hellos and bowing her head in respect to the elders. She looked up at the cabin loft, seeing that Alaster was awake. "Alaster! Good morning!" She said softly, smiling up at her friend. She always enjoyed Alaster's company, knowing that they always had fun together.

Oliver yawned sleepily, stretching out his limbs. The husky couldn't find a way to sleep at all last night, terribly worn out and groggy. Oliver is one of those dogs that values sleep, knowing that not getting enough rest can lead to a lack in sharpness and put the pack into grave danger due to not paying attention well enough on the battlefield. But alas, the husky was restless and anxious, not being able to find any way to settle down and go off into dreamland.
