Baldr and Eir drag themselves into camp, the liveless body of Rig between them. Rocky had gotten back only moments earlier and was about to approach his mate when he saw the three dogs return. Along with his two Shamans, Rocky ran to the group just as they had all collapsed in the middle of camp.
"What happened?!" he growled in panic as he looked at the unmoving body of his kennelmate.
"A bear..." Eir wheezed as she gasped for air.
"We were able to scare it away, but Rig took the hardest blows." Baldr said as he sat up infront of his Alpha.
Iggy checked over Rig as Cookie inspected Eir.
"He is gone, but he died in an honorable way." Iggy said sadly as she inspected Baldr.
"He will be honored by the Ancestors." Cookie said.
The kennel howled their loss to the moon that night, mourning their kennelmate. Rocky decided he would lead a group the next day to make sure that they bear is truly gone from their territory.

Gefjun led the Moonhigh patrol, Baldr and Kimber following close behind. Baldr had been curious about the pretty Collie since she arrived at his kennel, and could not fathom why she would give up leadership of her own kennel. Kimber noticed the Beta studying her intently and it made her fur crawl slightly.
Gefjun noticed that she was the only one on the route she was taking, and looked back to see that her Beta and kennelmate were trailing behind slightly. She stopped and was waiting for them to catch up before getting a nod from Baldr telling her to keep going. She smiled slightly as she saw the way he looked at Kimber and kept on her way, making sure to stay within sight of her fellows but out of earshot.
"If I may ask, what is it that brought you to our group?" Baldr asked her as they walked in the moonlight.
"Things were not working out, it just wasn't meant to be." Kimber said, looking at her paws.
Judging from her reaction, he could tell she did not want to talk about it. He could understand not wanting to talk about your past, and he knew that Nevermore Kennels was a fresh start. A good way to start over.
"Well, I understand that." he said with a mild tone, "That is why Rocky has created this group, as a way to start over."
She turned to him and smiled, happy that he was understanding. She saw him in a new light, that of a almost full moon. His black and red pelt seemed to shimmer with an unearthly light. As he looked down at her, she saw the moon reflected in her eyes. That was the point that the two of them decided it was time to really start over.
