Male || Alpha || 6 Years || Tags : Bagueer, Harare, Aphrodite & Garrick

A familiar voice greeted Maverick from his left. "Good morning to you, Hakate". The brute's rough, husky voice was nothing like the soothing sound of the Fae's. The alpha had always had great respect for his Beta as she knew how to handle his pack without using force, as he would have. As he glanced over at the she-wolf, Maverick noticed how her beautiful multicoloured coat had begun to cling to her skeleton. The highest ranks rarely went hungry, this winter was different. "Thank you, Bagueer needs the rest". The brute's rust coloured eyes turned to Bagueer, examining the old wolf. The Guard had been like a father to him since his own fathers passing. Now, however, he was dying. It didn't take a healer to see that. Bagueer s coat clung to nothing and had begun to thin. The brute probably hadn't eaten it days. "Count me in on that hunt, Hakate" Maverick spoke without looking away from Bagueer. The alpha knew he was not hunting for himself today, but for his pack. Aphrodites voice joined the group just then. "Of course Aphrodite, we need all the help we can get. Fetch Harlequin as well." Just as he spoke, a sharp gust of wind howled by the camp entrance. Blinded momentarily, Maverick rose to his paws, shackles raised. A snarl escaped his lips as he fought the sharp shill that shook him to his core. Quickly, the gust died down & visibility returned. With that, Maverick layed his eyes on something he hadn't seen in months. The wind had picked up the snow, sending it flying across the forest & leaving a small patch of yellow grass just outside of camp. "Spring... it's coming after all". The brute's voice was almost painful as he had been waiting for this for so long. The winter had taken many wolves from him... it was time to take back his territory.

Female || Delta || 1 Years

Harlequin stretched from the back of her den, each muscle aching with the bitter cold. The she-wolf was naturally small but starvation & malnutrition made her look ill. Her rusty coat had dulled into a pale cream colour & her once bright eyes were now a dull green. The Delta female made it to the entrance of her den before laying back on the cold ground. She was exhausted, starving, & had no energy to leave the safety of her nest. Harlequin lay her head across her paws & watched the other wolves.

Male || Healer Trainee || 2 Years

Young Nanook had braved the winter well. His body still carries some muscle & strength, his coat still full & thick. As a healer, the young brute was highly respected & was able to eat second in line, along with his alpha. He was fair, only ever taking what he needed. On this cold winter morning the young male lay on a flat rock just outside his den, cleaning his chocolate brown coat. As the healer ran his tongue over his paws in an attempt to rid them of dirt & mud, his piercing blue eyes wondered across camp. Would there be a hint today? No wolf looked strong enough to leave the camp, let alone hunt an elk.

Bagueer's neck was stiff as he turned to acknowledge his Beta. Bones creaked, muscles screamed. The Guard was getting much too old for his job. He'd been due to retire this year, but the thought of being an elder turned the brute sour. "Thank you, Hakate". The grey wolf dipped his head low, fighting the pain & stiffness he felt. The thought of curing up into the guard's den was almost enough to brighten the old brutes pale brown eyes. Just as Bagueer pulled his body to his paws, a sharp gust of winter air howled by the cavern entrance. The wind carried the resting snow, creating a whirl of white. Nothing was visible for a few long moment. Just as fast as the gust began, it disappeared. Was that... grass?.

Edon
Female - Hunter - 3 Years

Edon opened her eyes, lifting them up to she sky. She hadn't actually slept in a long while, no matter how hard she tried. Blinking a few more to rid of the tiredness that shone in them, a sigh left her. The female hadn't fared well over the winter, despite how much she hunted. Her belly had once ached with a fierce pain, begging for food. Nowadays it was just a dull pain that she had accustomed to. The female pushed herself up from the cold ground, stretching out her hind legs. The cold air outside her den bathed over her, seeping into her once beautiful coat. Winter had caused devastation for them all, many of them having little to none muscle or fat left. Dull curiosity spiked within her as she watched her beta padding over to speak to their alpha. Edon's ears perked forward, but they were too far away to listen in on. She only managed to catch something about hunting. If there was to be a hunt today, Edon could only hope that she would be invited. The female longed to run and hunt. Not to mention, she longed to eat. Her gaze drifted down to her paws as she watched her alpha gathering a few people to join the hunt. Edon didn't want to appear as though she had been listening into their conversation. The snow at her paws was melting, the water from the melted snow getting her paws wet. Her tail curled around her feet as she shivered, sitting out there in the open breeze.

The grey-colored fae got up when most of the pack members were already awake. She wasn't an early bird, but knew there was no time for sleeping. Aditya shook her shiny pelt and her amber eyes glanced around the hunters' cave. The fae let out a yawn and in a slow pace walked out of the den. She was a wolf with a slender build, but it couldn't be seen because of her thick winter coat which kept her warm. The fae sat in front of the den, looking at other wolves who woke up. Her ears shifted in different directions as she heard conversations around. Aditya was glad the pack was feeling good, even though they've been through a lot. The lead hunter's stomach let out a rumble, which she ignored. The wolf didn't know when was the last time she ate something, but for Adi, the pack was more important. She won't eat before all of them will. An idea of a hunting drifted into her mind when the morning wind blew into the cave and brought many scents into her nostrils. It woke her up completely almost immediately. Aditya enjoyed hunting, because she was good at it and a succesful hunt was a great satisfaction to the fae. Her eyes searched the group of wolves, looking for the hunters. She didn't want to disturb their conversations, so she sat still.

the hunter solemnly trudged through the snow, bound to head back to the camp after the unfortunate and lackluster solo hunt that had just taken place. her solid black pelt stood out like a silhouette against the pale whirlwind of snow, the once gorgeous fur now coarse from malnutrition and thrown in different directions by the biting winter breeze. finally making it to the treeline, olympia felt her paws tingle when they made contact with the pine needles coating the forest floor. her paws wet from the snow, every gust of freezing wind seemed to numb the pads of her paws even further, yet she persevered. after what seemed like hours of walking, the she-wolf perked up upon catching the faint scents of her pack through the snow. she broke out into exhausted run, relieved to scent home for the first time in hours. olympia finally made it into the camp clearing, her black fur speckled with snowflakes.

the lead guard emerged from his den, his massive frame nearly blocking the entrance. the black and brown male yawned loudly and calmly strode out of the den. orestes' once muscular, deep-set frame had almost diminished completely during the brutal winter, leaving him looking almost a husk of his former self. however, the one feature the lead guard had always kept was his jolly, optimistic nature. this winter had to end sometime, it had to. orestes silently scanned the camp, hope still not disappearing even as he spotted his emaciated packmates.
this winter has to end sometime, it has to.

The mottled wolf gazed at her alpha, his eyes tracing Bagueer with a sort of affection she couldn’t quite place. “Of course, and Bagueer, thank you” she murmured, smiling at the older wolf. She was aware he would retire soon, but the brute was stubborn, not wishing to join the rankings of elder among the pack, but as she gazed at him she noticed the thinness in his body, the way his fur was patchy, not quite fully there. She blinked with worry but another noise caught her attention, her dark ears twitching as the sound of pawsteps closed in on the small group. Aphrodite’s voice spoke softly, making the beta turn to focus her attention on the she-wolf. She nodded, agreeing with Maverik, the more wolves out hunting, the more likely they could bring down a larger prey. Her eyes returned, resting carefully on Maverik “I will let Aditya know, and perhaps gather a few more hunters” she stated, dipping her head to the alpha as she got to her paws, however, before she could move a gust of wind ripped through the air, tangling her pelt and causing her to momentarily be blinded to the world around her. She snarled, her hackles raising with displeasure, ears falling firmly against her skull. When her vision returned, she squinted against the brightness that suddenly settled over the camp. Her attention was drawn to a strange sight, one she hadn’t seen in months. From the place where the wind had come rested a small patch of grass, the snow having been hurried away by the air current. She blinked, uncertain if she was truly seeing the sight before her and a certain form of relief settled in her abdomen “Spring” she muttered softly, her tail swaying slightly at the sight. There was hope for the pack. With an excited gaze she turned away from the group that had joined there and trotted back towards the dens, her eyes locked on Edon. “Edon, would you mind following me?” she asked softly, dipping her head to the hunter as she turned, searching out Aditya’s form. When her eyes landed on the she-wolf she allowed her body to approach her, her paw steps light, specks of snow dancing away from her with each thud. “Good morning Aditya. Maverik and I would like to join the hunt today” she remarked, dipping her head to the hunter.

Talia’s tail swayed behind her with pleasure at Garrik’s response, her fur still tousled from a restless nights sleep. She was eager to do something productive, even if that was sitting with Garrik and guarding camp. She didn’t mind so much, though her stomach and muscles protested with hunger. “I am well, or as well as I can be.” She remarked, gazing at him for with a look that spoke volumes. They both shared the same understanding of the starvation that was tearing the pack down one by one, the bitter cold leaving their bodies constantly craving heat. She matched his step carefully as she looked away, eyes locking on the others at the entrance. When Hekate passed she dipped her head respectfully but said nothing, returning her attention to Garret “How about you?” she asked gently, flickering her ears towards the brute.

Female - Hunter - 3 Years - Tags: Hekate, Aditya

Edon watched as the higher ranking she-wolf approached her from where she sat. She bowed her head in respect once the female was in close proximity."Yes, Beta."Edon didn't lift her head until the beta began to pad away. The female got to her feet once more, following just a few feet behind her higher-ranking. She quickly noticed why her beta had asked her to follow her. Excitement ran though Edon, making her feel like the pup she had once been. She had been hoping so desperately that she would be able to go hunting today. There was a much more likely chance she was going to today, seeing that she and the beta were nearing the lead hunter, Aditya. The breeze alone was enough to excite Edon, because it meant winter was coming to an end. Yet the scents that drifted in the breeze, washing over their pack, was what really made her lift her snout to the wind. The predator inside her thrummed with joy. Edon could smell the scent of new life that was beyond those trees. Plants were springing to life, and animals were coming out of their dens. It was time for the predators to come out too.

garrick kept his eyes forward as they walked, just about reaching their destination. he turned his head to meet her gaze as she replied, catching her emotions as she spoke. yes, it was quite clear that they both knew how hard this winter had been on the pack. the wolves were all skin and bones, and wolves like garrick, who were too selfless to even tend to themselves at times, hadn't eaten in days, maybe weeks. even the high ranking wolves, who do better during winter because they are required to eat first, were weakened. the brute nodded solemnly and kept padding forward. "i am just as you are, and how mostly everyone else is. i am holding on, and thats all that matters." garrick replied thoughtfully, a small smile curling onto his face. he let out a sigh and cocked his head up, looking into the thick pines that towered above, the only living creatures that seemed to survive year around. "this pack needs everything it can get," turning his head to look back to the fae. "i can tell some are already losing hope, but i feel that this dreadful winter will come to an end soon." garrick searched talia's eyes, before looking forward as he sat at the entrance, taking guard. the alpha, beta, and a few others, as it seemed, still sat talking at the other end of the entrance.

→ Pleased that everyone was in agreement that a hunt was needed, Aphrodite nodded to Maverick and scanned the pack for Harlequin. A sudden gust of wind caught her off guard, almost knocking her off her feet. She snorted, the wind irritating her, before a small patch of green grass caught her attention. "Spring" she gasped, glad that the winter was finally coming to an end. After realising what she was meant to be doing; once again she looked around for Harlequin. Within a few seconds she spotted the young she-wolf lying outside her den, a dull, glazed look in her eyes. She was weak, too weak to hunt. Aphrodite paused for a second, before aprocahing her. "Maverick asked for you to join us on the hunt, but you obviously need some rest," She said, with a sympathetic tone.

As she was sitting in the spot, her gaze focused on a wolf's form, approaching her. Aditya quickly recognised that it was the beta, Hekate. The lead hunter bowed her head respectfully when the higher-ranked canine spoke to her. "Good morning, Hekate," She replied, her voice was notably cheerful what showed her excitement and positive nature. Her bushy tail slightly wagged from side to side when the beta said she and Maverick will join the hunt. "The more the merrier. We're going to catch something today for sure!" Barked the fae excitedly and stood up as if she couldn't wait any longer. But quickly the hunter sat on her haunches again, deciding not to show her nervosity to the beta. She didn't want to act like a pup, she's hunted many times before and it was nothing new. Aditya took a deep breath to calm herself down a bit "When shall we head out?" She finally asked, her tone more serious than before, but her tail kept wagging gently. The lead hunter hoped they'd be ready fast, she didn't want to wait for too long.

Guard
Irritated

A she-wolf paced up and down the guard's side of the cavern, trying her best to stop any noise from
coming with her frustrated trot and attempting not to wake anybody. Not that she cared if she woke
anyone, she just didn't feel like getting into an argument right at this moment. Her ears twitched
from the returning anger she felt as she woke up earlier than every other wolf in the pack due to
her 'internal clock' waking her up due to her having the same early morning shift for a while, until
now, when her shift had been changed to allot later in the day. She suppressed a growl from inside
her strong muzzle, trying to avoid awakening any other wolves; most of them were awake, or
awakening at this time, after all, it seemed like the sun would have risen by now. Unable to
stop herself, her jaws stretched into a long, and loud yawn, all her teeth showing as her mouth
opened so terribly wide. Scanning the cavern awkwardly, she sat down in the place of which she
had stopped pacing to let out her yawn. Her haunches folding beneath her, she gazed around
through the narrow, pale amber eyes of which she possessed. Quickly, she flicked her great,
dark furred head over her shoulder, trying to detect what could have created a strange
noise that had made it's way to her ears, but alas, she was greeted by nothing. Just a
blank cavern wall staring strait back at her. Bored by the unsurprising scene of which
she had suspected would fall affront of her eyes, and did, she lifted a back leg to
scratch behind her left ear; as she scratched, she forced her right eye open to
peer over the cavern again: their Alpha, Maverik; the Delta, Harlequin; Nanook,
the Healer Trainee; the Beta, Hekate; and some of the Hunters and Guards were awaking
in the cavern, from what she could see. Frustrated, she pawed at the ground a little,
hoping that she would notice her shift had started, or just hoping that even anything
slightly better than what was happening right now could happen.
