i. male ii. 6y/o iii. arena alpha iv. crush v. near the caves

Though his paws had carried him here, Quinlan was not quite sure why, exactly, he had chosen to visit the Caves. In a way they still called to him; the complex labyrinth, hidden in the kind of complete darkness that can only be found underground, scared and thrilled him simultaneously. When his pack first settled in the territory, he had been one of the first to enter them, and he often explored them in his free time with his friend Cal, each time going a little further in. But Quinn hadn't been in the caves in a long time, over a year now. Not since a rockfall had buried Cal beneath the earth, trapping him beneath tons of soil and rock. The thought made Quinlan frown, and he quickly looked away from the black mouth of the Caves. Wanting to distract himself, he gazed up at the sky to judge the weather. The sky seemed fairly clear but he could smell rain on the air and he guessed that there would be a shower before the day was done.

It had been extremely unpredictable as late; only two weeks ago a storm had sprung up seemingly out of nowhere and the whole pack had been caught by surprise. There'd been no successful hunts for almost a week beforehand and their store of prey was already almost totally depleted before the storm even began. It had lasted three wretched days, with a constant downpour of rain and forceful winds, preventing anyone from going out to hunt. By the third day, Quinn had been just about ready to go out anyway and find what prey he could to sustain his starving pack, but by late afternoon the storm had passed and luckily they had been able to catch enough prey to keep them going. He was extremely wary of letting himself be caught off guard like that again. If the storm had lasted a day longer, they might very well have been too weak to go out and hunt or even ask for help from the Folium wolves.

He'd sent Kauri and Adelheide out just after dawn to hunt since he knew their stocks were getting low and he was loathe to come anywhere close to risking starvation so soon after their last incident. Despite having lead his pack for years now, he still made mistakes, and not keeping the prey pile well-stocked had been one of them. He would not make that mistake again.

i. male ii. 6y/o iii. folium alpha iv. crush v. at camp

It was already almost midday, and Aaron wasn't quite sure what to do with himself. He'd already given Kodeas and Reika the task of checking the border by the Road an hour or two ago, but there didn't seem to be much else that needed handling. The Road hadn't been checked in almost a week now, and Aaron felt it was necessary to make sure no predators or loners had ventured into the territory recently; it was always good to have a heads up if there was a hostile individual skulking around. He was utterly confident that they wouldn't find anything though, other than some old roadkill. But... it never hurt to check.

Aaron examined his surroundings. The Folium camp was a maze of dens, some belonging to only one wolf and some shared between three or four. Friends and mates often chose to sleep in the same den for the sake of safety and warmth, though he knew others preferred to sleep alone and as such made their own dens. Usually all the den mothers slept together, and the same went for trainees. But others were welcome to sleep with whomever they chose. Only a few of his packmates had stirred so far and he guessed others were already out exploring or hunting as they wished, so it was still fairly quiet.

The light male cast a thoughtful look at Elanna's den. He wondered briefly if she'd been keeping her herb stock up, and whether anything had been damaged during the recent storm. The excess rain would no doubt have damaged some of the plant plantches she probably frequented to gather herbs. He resolved to ask her about it when he next saw her. For now, he was happy to wait in the warm sunlight for Reika and Kodeas to come back.

xxxxxxxCrickets sounded around the bloom field, their small bodies bounding through the air with what could be interpreted as delight. It was spring and everything in the forest was proud and happy. A soft breeze brought with it the faintest scent of petrichor, as if rain was imminent. Amongst the flowers Ela sat restless, sprawled out between the purple blooms that decorated the field she sat in. Her paws twitched as her mind sent impulses down her body, impulses to run, gallop and let the electricity that was in the air settle through her actions. But she remained still, golden irises slowly blinking at the sky, body moving slowly with each breath. Her Cream paws were decorated with bundles of herbs, previously sodden with water from the heavy rain which had formed the week. But under the bright sun the herbs had become lighter and more crisp to the touch. A delighted hum erupted from the throat of the lupa, who was wishfully dreaming of sharing the open fields with the company of another. But she was content with her dreams and shifting her entire form she stood up. She fished the herbs from the floor and stretched, muscles rippling under her pelt.

xxxxxxxEla wasn't a strong canine, but she had stamina, unaffected by long walks and treacherous terrain. It was a blessing that she ended up where she did with the ranks, her heart was full of gold and the thought of hurting another pack mate in training or even those from outside Folium in a fight. She had gotten in trouble before for bringing strangers into their camp to heal their ailments. It was a fight she was always willing to pick and she was a firm advocate that between the two packs their healers should have a firm communication and trust. Whenever meetings occurred she would bring excess herbs with her to gift to Corbin in attempts of extending olive branches to the other pack. She was always quiet when doing this, dashing towards the Medic and dropping the herbs before fleeing as if the whole pack would chase her away. She hated her shyness, a pure spit in the face to her extroverted nature. She pushed the thoughts out of her mind, continuing to plot across the open fields of flower, walking closer to the tree-line that indicated the start of their territory.

xxxxxxxThe sable wolf moved through the woods, paws gracefully skirting over trees roots and climbing rocks as she moved closer to the place she called home. With brisk movement it wasn't long before she had returned, gracefully moving into the camp, frame moving to scope out the occupants of the open expanse that was the camp's heart. Her chest thumped with shock as her eyes locked upon Aaron, staring towards her den, a thoughtful look on his face. Moving with silent paws she crept up on the alpha, voice escaping her throat in a low melodic chime. "Looking for someone?" She asked, having dropped the herbs before she spoke. At her feet the bundle of thyme and honeysuckle twigs sat, slowing coming undone as the prison of the lupa's jaw no longer kept them contained tightly.

The refreshing feeling slowly climbing up her spine, feeling the morning's thick, crisp air seep into her fur and flourish upon her skin. She had been awake for many hours, simply because she just didn't feel tired enough to rest fully. Her ears flickering at the slightest of sounds and soon perked up upon hearing the alpha's demand to two of the other wolves that resided within the arena's territory. Although she wasn't assigned to the hunting duties, she decided it be best to improve more on her tracking skills, hopefully having knowledge of the scents that both prey and predator left behind in their trail. She leaned forwards, letting her paws find a even patch of ground to stand on, distributing her weight evenly before slowly making her way towards the plains. She cleared her mind, ensuring she made herself become vigilant to the environment surrounding her as she began stretching her legs forwards, her paws pressuring against the weight indented the vegetation beneath her with a satisfying crisp sound that echoed through her eardrums. Her murky tinted eyes scattering from left to right seeing the morning's sun delicate, yet harsh rays, branch down and invite shadows to dance upon the roots of the towering trees and gave a relaxed sigh, letting it escape her open jaws which soon clamped down together once she had arrived at one of her favourite destinations. After simply staring at the somewhat intriguing open field she paced over to what appeared to have been a boulder, splitting the earth's crust with its ridged edges and lowered her bottom half, ending up in a stationary sitting position.

She loved that essentially, one big field brought a numerous amount of varied species, co-existing to the ecosystem in place. It was a place for her to identify any new prey and, or predators that had ventured through the territory unknowingly and when she ever got a waft of an unknown source she felt the adrenaline pump through her veins due to a rather odd sense of excitement.

Tranquillity. What comes to mind when she is sitting silently upon the boulder underneath her paws. Her head diverting upwards and across her shoulder momentarily as she watched the painted skyline dance along with the group of small birds over the edge of the forest. They seemed so synchronized and because of this observation, she gave a brief chuckle at how it reminded her of how the pack remained close and organized with each other. She pondered to herself for quite some time whether, she would stay for a while longer to enjoy the peace she was being offered or to return to the main settlement. However.. soon came to an conclusion of remaining within the vast fields before officially deciding it was time to head back and complete whatever needed doing.

The medics den was severely understocked. The recent storm had not only tarnished the collected herbs but those still growing out in the wild had also suffered from the intense gales and pelting rain. It had become difficult to find any healing plants that hadn't either drowned or been torn apart from the strong winds. Corbin sighed as he sat, looking over the stores he had left. It was probably time to consider the caves, though he had never had a fondness for the darkness and the feeling of dread that crept along his spine every time he was there. Still considering his predicament, Corbin stood and peeked his head outside the den. It was around mid morning, it seemed counting the herbs had taken some time out of his day.

Realising that his thoughts were unable to think of anything other than the state of herbs, Corbin decided he needed to go searching for some. It was perhaps to ambitious to go to the caves yet, but maybe some of herbs were growing near the entrance. If any were visible inside, he might just dare to reach in and grab them. Content that he had picked a course of action Corbin walked to the caves, nerves building up in his stomach that made him feel ill.

He was so focused on his growing panic that he didn't realise that Quinlan was at the entrance, and almost jumped out of his pelt when he looked up and saw the alpha there. "Oh! Hey Quinlan. You're actually the wolf I needed to see," He blurted, hairs still raised and heart beating fast from his fright, "I may still be having issues finding herbs and I thought..." he mumbled, trailing off as he looked into the depths of the cave. He suddenly remembered his thoughts from earlier and the dread he had predicted crawled up his back, making him freeze with horror at the thought of going into the darkness.

It had only been a few hours since Aaron had instructed Reika and Kodeas to check the roadside border and already she was sick of the smell of asphalt. She was laying near the road in a small clearing scanning her surroundings. She had decided to take a small break from walking, as the similar environment and constant movement had put her in a trance-like state where she had been scanning for enemies, but not really seeing or paying attention to what she was looking at.

Reika considered where she had left Kodeas last. His endurance was much stronger than her own and he had continued the patrol. Or at least, that's what she assumed he had done. She hadn't left much room for conversation when she had remarked her tiredness and wandered off. It was probably an irresponsible thing to have done, though she desperately needed some time to herself. Feeling the guilt seeping in to her heart, she looked up at the sky and smelt the imminent rain. If there was another storm like the one a few weeks ago, they wouldn't want to be stuck away from the pack. Rieka looked at the clouds behind her. None of them seemed too grey, perhaps it would just be a light spray.

Sighing as she noticed herself putting off the inevitable, she pulled herself off of the ground and shook to remove the dirt from her coat. There she stood, scanning the forest edge for anyone watching her. Certain she saw nothing, Reika wandered back the way she had come but a few minutes ago, in search of Kodeas.

Kodeas's morning had been nice. It had gone as per usual up until Aaron sent Reika and himself to check the borders, but Kodeas had secretly been hoping for a task, and was glad to be out and about, especially since there was a sense of purpose to it. Once they had gotten there and patrolled a while Reika had gone off to rest- while Kodeas had been a little bemused about the shortness of the statement's delivery, he understood why she had done it. The monotonous task of patrol and the heavy smell of the road were getting to him, too, but he was also perhaps a bit calmer than Reika, and therefore able to endure more of it. He'd set off down one side of the road to check for signs of loners or other predators, making sure to rub against trees and leave as many scent markers as possible for multiple reasons; it dissuaded other predators from coming near, warned off other wolves, and kept the prey away from the road and therefore more abundantly alive, instead of bloating and stiff on the side of the asphalt trail.
He hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary, no sign of anything that should worry them. He was content to report that to Aaron, and honestly glad for the lack of dead prey he'd found. Sure, there had been a squirrel whom had some unlucky fortune, but he figured they could spare just that.While he'd thought about picking it up, he didn't want to chance disease, and truthfully, there wasn't much left to pick up. So with a content spirit, he was now making his way back to where him and Reika had parted.
Trotting briskly, he scented the air again and felt a small amount of unease at the light wafting of rain he sensed. The sky was cloudless now, but Spring could have spirit in it, and a thunderstorm wasn't a far thought in this season. He didn't mind the rain,
but lightning could be dangerous and the wind sometimes brought by storms, accompanied by the heaviness of the water could drop dead trees that had died in the wintertime. The fact that the majority of the territory was forest made that a issue, especially around camp.
He was pulled from his thoughts by the sight of the light-colored female appearing through the foliage in front of him, and he perked his ears and ducked his head in greeting. He was a bit larger than the average wolf, and he always tried to be polite so others didn't feel uncomfortable around him. "I found and saw nothing strange on my patrol. Are you feeling better now that you've rested?" His voice was deep, and he cringed at the roughness that came with his usual silence. He wasn't a talkative wolf, and so when he did speak, he did it with purpose. His words were clear, and he had tried to be kind in his question, but after he said it, he knew it could be misinterpreted as sarcastic. He hoped she wouldn't take offense, and awaited his packmate's response calmly.

K I T
female - subordinate of Folium pack - no mate - the River - open - cheerful, thoughtful

Kit had been awake for a while, having left camp at the break of day to come and hunt near the river. While their stocks weren't necessarily lacking, keeping food available was key, and she was always glad to step up to accomplish that task. Her strengths had always lied with hunting, stealth, and anything to do with providing for the pack.
Even though she had a streak of dedication in her and had promised herself she wouldn't return without at least a fish or rabbit, she didn't see the purpose in not having any fun in her venture. She'd raced through the forest nearly at full tilt just for the thrill of it, and had cooled down apron reaching the river by going for a swim. The water was frigid, and had felt wonderful on muscles that were beginning to protest. Now as she lay on the gravelly banks, watching the water flow by, She began to truly think over her self-given task.
She supposed it was just the final decision that had to be made; land or water, which one did she want to be her hunting theatre. Fish were fun to catch, and always provided challenge, but at this time of day, they would see her easily and be much quicker than she. The small land animals also provided fun, should she allow them to see her first and run a little, but with the lack of a strong breeze or more, she and the prey would be near equal in ability to smell each other and therefore she would have no downwind advantage. She pondered this as she watched the water move, breathing a sigh.

Quinlan was almost as startled as Corbin when the male appeared. Quinn hadn't noticed his arrival, too wrapped up in his thoughts to notice the noises or scent originating from the healer. He made a mental note to be more attentive to his surroundings. Quinn quickly noticed that Corbin seemed visibly distressed, and the alpha quickly became alert, thinking that perhaps something was wrong at camp. But Corbin's next words allayed his concerns somewhat. "I may still be having issues finding herbs and I thought..." the male said. Quinlan followed his gaze to the entrance.

"I see. Your other sources are too damaged?" he questioned, although he already knew the answer. Corbin wouldn't bring up entering the Caves if he didn't have to. It was clear that he was dreading the thought of entering the caves, and Quinlan almost felt sorry for him. But if they needed herbs and the Caves were the only reliable source, then Corbin would have to do what he must. Quinlan cast another look toward the black mouth of the underground passages as he waited for Corbin's response. He had already made up his mind that if Corbin really needed the herbs, he would accompany him into the Caves, despite his own unpleasant feelings about them. No wolf should go in there alone. It's safer with the two of us; we can watch each other's backs.

The pleasant chime of Elanna's voice captured his attention. He looked up at the female, who had approached with impressive quietness. A bundle of plant matter lay at her paws; she'd clearly already had a productive day. "Elanna!" he greeted her with a grin. "Yes, well, I was sort of looking for you," he said cheerfully. As an alpha, he might be expected to be a little more professional when interacting with his pack, but he was comfortable lying in the sun and felt no desire to sit up to chat. Besides, he felt that being formal with his packmates would just alienate them. At least, he seemed to see that in Quinn and his pack.

"I was wondering whether your herb stocks are doing alright?" he questioned, genuinely concerned. He knew quite well that it was important to make sure the healers had everything they needed to care for the pack. It seemed to him that a single leaf could save a life. "After the storm, I mean. I imagine it would have made it hard for you to find what you need. Although you seem to have had very little trouble today," he added with another grin.

xxxxxxxA soft chuckle left Ela's maw at the cheerful behaviour of her leader. He was a kind and just creature, who lead the pack as a father figure not as some holy being beyond reproach. He was there for them, easy to talk to and not frightening to be around. She laid down on the grass beside him, eyes momentarily going to the herbs as she watched them continue to unravel. She extended a paw over the bundle to keep it from unravelling further. Her ears bowed slightly, "Well our territory took it better than the swamps of arena-" there was a but to be had. "But I didn't want to make our supplies any worse, there was a small supply of herbs up hill beyond the human road," Ela was a little ashamed, she didn't have to go out of the territory unspoken but she had, "I was quick, in and out- it was early so the beasts of the road weren't anywhere to be found." She dipped her head in soft apologises, although it was what had to be done and she hadn't gotten hurt. Of course that wasn't the point; she hadn't gotten hurt this time, she wouldn't do it again.

Corbins gaze was dragged away from the caves entrance as his alpha responded. "They are, yes. Most of the plants still are struggling to grow back, and I don't want to pick them to early in case they die completely." He sighed, shaking his head with defeat. He was hoping to find some herbs at the entrance of the cave but with a quick glance it was evident there were none.
"I think the stores that I have can last us a few more weeks if we ration," he mumbled thoughtfully, "Though another event such as the storm may leave us without any herbs." He turned back to the cave entrance, looking into the darkness. Corbin couldn't bear the thought of a wolf being injured with nothing to ease their pain, having to stand by uselessly as they suffered. Despite this he was struggling to make himself walk forward, as the stories and dangers that surrounded the place before him always ended in pain.
"How deep are the caves?" Corbin found himself asking. Once the words were out of his mouth he realised how idiotic the question seemed. Surely no one had ever completely explored the cavern and survived, it was obviously just his fears coming out as trivial questions. "Uh... I mean, don't worry about it. I'm just..." His tail drooped as his situation became more real. He couldn't make himself leave, though he was struggling with the idea of going in alone.
"It's probably not my place, but I was wondering if... well, if you would come in with me? It wouldn't be far, I don't want to go too deep, I just need to fill the stores up enough that I can put some aside for emergencies." Corbin gushed. He nudged a rock with his paw as he nervously awaited Quinlan's response.

As Reika pushed through the foliage to reach the area she had left her packmate she was surprised to see him standing right where she left him. For a second she considered the possibility that he hadn't actually moved, but his scent was more thick with the odour of the forest and she quickly dismissed the theory. He ducked his head in greeting, a gesture she appreciated as Kodeas being accomodating, and she nodded her head in return. At his question she frowned slightly, believing he was being crude, though she quickly reconsidered as the quiet wolf did not often seem to act with malice. "Much, thank you," she grunted, shaking evidence of the shrubbery from her pelt, "Sorry for leaving you so suddenly. The smell gets to me after awhile."

She studied Kodeas to ensure he had not been injured in her absence, and decided he hadn't come to any trouble whilst he was alone. Reika knew he could handle himself, though she wouldn't have forgiven herself if he had gotten hurt because she had needed a rest. "Did you find anything important to report? I'm assuming from the lack of prisoners and blood that you didn't find any rogues." She remarked pleasantly.

It was always good to see that nothing was wrong and that the borders were clear, despite Aaron's concerns. A problem like rogues was the last thing Reika wanted to consider dealing with. It usually meant either a fight or a new member, both of which she knew would cause a large ruckus with the pack.
She waited to hear her companions report, eyes still scanning her surroundings in case she did spot something out of the ordinary.

The large male regarded her steadily as she responded, and was glad she was felling better. He'd rather she be rested than tired, especially for the trek back to camp to give Aaron their report; it could have turned out akward had either one of them been in a bad mood. He snorted a little at her bluntly stated inquiry, looking around himself and letting his ears swivel again at the mention of rouges." No, no scent or sight of loners, rouges, or the like. I was expecting to find at least a small trail, but came up lacking." He stated, shifting his front paws a little as he stood. He still felt ready to move, the cool weather lengthening his already healthy endurance by leaps and bounds. He wondered if Reika was up to patrolling further down the road or not; they could push the limits a little, chance finding something that normally wouldn't be in their path. It might be smart to do so, if just to get outside of routine and break up the monotony of the normal patrol. He wouldn't mind if she wanted to just go back to camp, however; the smell was starting to make his nose itch, and he was sure there was more intresting things to do back home rather than out here at the road. Deciding to leave it up to her, he took a breath before speaking his thought. "So would you like to return to camp and deliver our report to Aaron, or go a little ways more with the patrol?"

The rustic colored centurion lifted herself up, thinking it would be best to start heading back towards where the arena pack and settled down in. She shook her neck, feeling the fur rustle against her skin before slowly trekking back through the woods, her feet felt slightly cold and she sighed but soon distracted herself with the rather exquisite environmental features that the forest beholds and especially the creatures she spotted lingering around. She was tempted to hunt something, but nothing looked like it was worth catching and so she simply continued on her merry way.

Her attention was soon caught by a small area fullfilled with water and so she decided it be best to hydrate herself before officially getting her daily duties. Although she was deep into the territory, she saw no sign of the alpha and pondered to herself slightly for a while or so. Her position remaining stationary as she flickered her ear, hearing a faint sound in close proximity and decided to approach whatever the sound was. Her eyes widening seeing two familiar faces, near the entrance of the cave opening. She walked near and gave a smile that smudged across her cheeks, acknowledging them with a small dip of her head "Good morning Quinlan... sorry to intrude but, I was wondering what my duties were for today? Are there any that are high priority and need to be done as soon as possible?" she questioned the leading canine who stood before her and then turned her attention towards corbin "I see you're already having an eventful morning." she said looking directly into the mouth of the cave.
