A short distance away from the two conversing wolves, lay an old, pale she-wolf. The slow rise and fall of her chest told that she was calm and at ease. Ada was her name, Ada Nightsong, a retired wolf who'd long seen the very first days of when the Oath was created. Now, where beauty and life had once lived, had given way to age and faded glory; A summer rose reduced to but a withering flower in winter. Her faded blue eyes had all but gone completely blind, the world fading into simple colors and shapes before her. But where her eyes failed her, her ears did not. She rose from her soft sleeping place when distance voices reached her old ears, which perked up at the sound. "Some one approaches... Rowan, I hear someone." She called in a raspy voice, whithered with age and shortness of breath.
From over a distant hill, like a bat out of hell, a glitering white body leaped from the grass. As she drew closer it was clear that she and her companion had long been fighting in the distant lands. "Not today. I told them, not today. No coyote kills a master spy, no-one..." She growled to herself as she came flying towards the rest of the wolves, skidding to a stop and sending a fury of dirt rushing out from under her paws. She was followed closely by a male wolf, only just months older than her. Master Spy, Alana Soulfire, had fought her way home. "We came back as soon as we could... We tried getting around them, but those coyotes caught us before we could." She said though gasps for breath. Clearly they'd been running for awhile. From her legs, one could see a few coyotes had gotten ahold of her. punture marks from fangs were scattered along the soft skin near her shoulders and belly, staining her white fur pink with blood.
Behind her stood a male with the build of non other than a Knight. Allan was his name, not that it mattered much to him. "They gave us quite the fight. But we sent them running with their tails between their legs before the day was out." He said as he shook his fur, little red droplets of blood littering the ground. Small gashs and cuts could be seen through his fur, and even a tear in his ear was seen with fresh blood coating the wound. "Blasted little dogs..." He said, his tail lashing angrily and fiercly.
(Sorry Allan's is so short hehe, but I have to go for a bit.)
