Uther

    Uther galloped across the open snow. The tunnels could be seen from a distance. He had only been gone a day, but the entrance to the Lilly Warren had started to get blocked by the falling snow. A white wall was growing as the snow deepened. He growled. What a pain in the butt that was going to be to clear. The open plain was filled with the sound of crunching snow. Four wolves walking across snow in a group was hard to miss, especially since all of them had dark pelts except Uther. As the group approached the entrance, Uther slowed his trot to a walk and spoke over his shoulder to the others. "This is the Lilly Warren. I will introduce you to your Alphess, and then you can get settled in. You can choose any of the dens except mine. Now, let's clear out this opening so we can fit through." Uther padded up to the entrance and began pulling snow out of the way.

Fenris winced as she saw the large heap of snow. Slowing her pace as she neared the tunnel entrance she obediently began digging. Her thought wondered as she dug beside her alpha. Their snow wall may actually come in handy. If allowed to build it could block the entrance and keep heat in the tunnels, and it could help the den blend into the landscape making it harder to find for the passing loner. But the only problem with this idea was moving the snow back and forth into place. She dismissed the idea. Her paws were beginning to become sodden with the melting water from the snow wall. The snow on her back was piling as well adding weight. Shaking each paw momentarily to dislodge some of the liquid Fenris kept working.

| Cinder treaded up behind Uther, wrinkling his nose at the bitter cold scent of winter. He glanced behind him at the others, a mass of dark bodies against white. Backing off to the others, in order to avoid getting hit by flying snow, he huddled beneath the dark blue femme's legs, the heat from her body warming him. He liked this female more than the others, her demeanor and the attention she seemed to give him was comforting.

Egypt was please to find that as she came up the territory where they were diggin out snow, the pup came back to her, seeking shelter. She smiled and stood there for a bit before dipping her head down and nuzzling him. 'Do not worry,pup. You shall be warm sooon. But I must to begin digging, as my alpha has commanded it."

With that she nuzzled him again before pulling away and joining the others in digging away the wall of snow.

Xenia, close to finally having her pups, heard the crunching of the snow as it neared the entrance to the tunnels. Soon it was followed by the sounds of digging. 'One set of paws.. Two?! No.. Three!?' she thought to herself as she listening to the claws and paws digging at the snow. She counted Uther, Egypt, and Fenris, unable to pick up any of their scents, and unable to heard little Cinder on the other side. She was overwhelmed with joy as she realized her mate had found members for their pack. But there was also the possibility that it was another clan, or predators attempting to break in. She quickly forgot about that, knowing the entrance would be will hidden and that Uther would be the only wolf to find it, unless Dark Donoma had come back.

The alphess considered walking up to the entrance to greet them, but feeling one of the pups move around near her belly, she decided it best to stay put and wait for her mate to greet her.

Uther

    Uther pushed one more pawscoop of snow out of the way to reveal the entrance. Darkness shrouded the tunnels, but he could tell that it was undisturbed. He motioned for the others to follow him and entered the Lilly Warren. His fur brushed the walls as he made his way to the only den currently in use. That would change soon. The smell of Xenia grew stronger. As he turned the corner into their den, he saw her lying on her side in the middle of the hollow. Uther smiled and approached her. Xenia looked tired. The pups must be coming soon. He rushed to her side and nuzzled her affectionately, licking her on the muzzle too. After a few moments of reunion, Uther turned to introduce the other three wolves. "Xenia, my queen, these are our new pack members. Cinder, Egypt, and Fenris." He nodded to each as he said their names. Now the group was to present themselves to their queen, hopefully making a good first impression.

The den walls were slightly damp through the entrance tunnel. But it got warmer and dryer as the company moved farther in. They turned into one of the dens and new scent filled her nose.

Fenris looked at the white female. She was similar to Uther but her eyes were different. Her belly was swollen with her small burdens. Fenris wished to be quick and polite. She bowed her head low to the ground, "Greetings alphaess, I hope you have been faring well?" She would love to talk to the wolf longer but now was now the time for she was looking tired.

| Cinder relished in the warm, dry air of the tunnels. A perfect place for the winter. As they approached the queen of the pack, he stuck close to Egypt, and stayed quiet while the other wolves introduced themselves. Not to be rude, but out of shyness. Xenia's stomach was swollen large and she seemed tired, so he smiled politely and dipped his head in respect.

[Deleted]

Egypt looked upon her alphess, ver swollen and looking as if she were ready to deliver at anytime. She envied her, but for now would not say such a thing, for it would be rude. No,just introduce yourself and move on. She looked at cinder as he was respectful, but failed to introduce himself.She smiled a little and nudged him."I am Egypt,alphess, and this is Cinder."

Xenia waited as she heard the wolves digging the snow away and finally making their way into the tunnels. She heard the pawsteps and raised her head up a bit more, looking at the entrance hopefully that it was her mate and new pack members. Her prayers were answered as Uther came into the den. She nuzzled her mate back happily and licked him back affectionately. "You've done well my king, I'm glad to see your safe return, and I'm even more glad that you have brought these three with you." she looked past him at the three wolves.

She was the spitting image of Uther, except her eyes were swapped, her crystal blue eye on the left, and her crimson red on the right. Her sort of birthmark crown was on the opposite ear as Uther's as well, on her left ear and his right. "I'm glad to meet you all.. I wish under a bit better condition for myself, but I'm sure we will have plenty of time to get to know each other!" she said, looking from wolf to wolf to pup. "I am Xenia. Camelot's Alphess, I am eager to have you all here and I can't wait to see how this pack progresses." she smiled happily and tilted her head to one side.

The alphess remained laying on her side as she spoke, wanting to get up and meet them a bit better, but the pups would be coming any moment. They could be coming in a minute or two, or in the next hour, or if they wanted to be really delayed, by the next morning, either way it was about time for her two pups to be born.

Uther

    Xenia stay lying after all the introductions were done. Uther sat down and looked at the others. "Pleas, leave. Go pick your dens and get settled in." He looked at Xenia as her breath quickened. "We'll be fine. The puppies are coming soon, so please don't disturb us until they are born." Uther nodded his head and turned back to Xenia. 

    He spent the night at Xenia's side as the pups were born. The two new additions to Camelot came late. Xenia was tired and slept as the sun rose. Uther curled up next to her and the family slept. 

((Hope nobody minds the half power playing, but everybody leaves and that's it. Thread done. ))

OOC: I don't mind it xD I didn't feel like roleplaying out the pups being born anyhow, so that simplifies things c:
