((Bieber Blast, hah! XD))
Temper dipped his head, acknowledging the father and daughter pair. "It is safest to go by threes...are there any other volunteers?" he asked, eying his own cubs as if daring them to join.

Melody stood, and said to the pack, "I acknowledge that there is nothing I could do to help on the journey, and so I will not volunteer to go." Strike glanced at his sister curiously, then said, "If Melody isn't going, then I won't." Rosabelle stood up and growled at the kits, "This isn't about who's not going, this is about who is. I am going, as the alpha of this pack." Jay got to her feet and stood next to Orion, saying, "The kits are young enough to be on their own, and Kendo is coming with us. I will go, if only for my power with healing."

Hestia wanted to be a part of this, but maybe staying with Acacia was a better idea. But wouldn't they have to bring her? "Would we have to bring Acacia to this place of Eternal Snow?" she asked warily. "I would go, if not for her...I want to see where she's going."

Temper grumbled. Okay, four, he thought grumpily. Just as well...

[Mercurian]

Orion pondered. "This is a difficult choice," he said. "If we were to bring Acacia, she would certainly slow us down, whether awake or asleep, and we don't have time for delays. However, even if she were to stay behind, we not get back in time to save her. I believe the best choice for the moment is to bring her, because I know of certain plants I can grow to make the journey more easy. I would like to know of any alternatives, however."

Rosabelle was about to state her opinion, but heard a terrified scream from the woodlands behind her. She whipped around and saw a large black cat pelting towards the camp at full speed. She was sobbing and screaming, and looked to be just a bit older than Melody, Strike, and Kendo. As she neared the old tigress, Rosabelle saw that she was built like a snow leopard, but was blue and black and had a strange wolf-like build that seemed disturbingly familiar.

((Who is this mysterious stranger? If it's someone with Kora and Bandit then I would like to know. ;3))

[Wildmagic_warrior]

[It's not ^^ You'll see who it is in just a second.]

((Okee, continuing then.))

Hestia jumped back at the sudden change in mood, from intense to shocking. The new addition to the scene was feline, like her, but more graceful. Hestia supposed this cub was half cat, half canine. She raised her eyebrows—it took her a moment to realize that she and her two siblings could not be the only hybrids in the forest.

Temper's eyes widened, almost in recognition. He stared at the sobbing cub, and narrowed his eyes to observe her closer.

"Help me, please!" the cub cried, dashing into the camp and looking around. "Somebody, please help! There's been a terrible accident!" She began sobbing again, uncontrollably until Jay stepped forwards and placed a green-glowing paw on the cub's side. "There, now," she said after the cub stopped crying. "Tell us what happened." The black cub took a breath and said shakily, "Me name's Bianca. I live up in the northern mountains." Her voice was accented slightly, lilting, but sharp. "I was waiting for me ma and pa to come back from hunting. I see them, coming along the ridge, dragging a mountain goat between them. Harsh winter, only a little food, a catch like this is a blessing for the tribe. I jump to my paws, right, and I shout for them, and for the tribe to come see. Then... then my voice echoes. I didn't know, I swear, I swear I didn't!" She began crying again, until Jay consoled her. Through fresh tears, Bianca said, "The mountain collapsed on them. I roared like a living creature! It came down with a crash, and gobbled them up. Then it kept coming, straight towards the tribe! We screamed and ran, and I ran the fastest, and then it was there and it swallowed us all up and I saw- I saw-" She sobbed slightly and said, "When it stopped, I dug my way out of the snow and saw me pa, lying there, with his neck twisted at a bad angle and his eyes just starin'- just starin' at me, like he was saying, 'this is your fault. You did this to me'."

Hestia could not believe her ears. What sort of power was this?
