And So The Sun Rises

Shiver bounced excitedly through the woods towards the potent smell of wolves, her new packmates. When the she wolf entered, she quickly found the brown she wolf from before. "hi there!" Shiver said warily. She scrutinized the brown wolf's face.

Luzaro took a step back and allowed his brother Draga to speak with the pack members about their rank assignments. The elder brother was impressed by Draga's ability to take charge and smiled, knowing he would be a great leader someday. He couldn't be happier to have someone as strong as he on his side to lead things. Although Luzaro's ears were torn, he still caught the noise of paws through the snow and saw a new wolf emerge into the area who was a bright silver color. He was just about to address this newcomer when his mate beat him to it. Again he smiled, happy that he had surrounded himself with wolves who believed in the pack.

Luzaro turned his attention to Spirit when she began speaking. From what the alpha could gather, this wolf was the fastest in the pack and would do well to accompany him on his coming journey. Before Draga had a chance to answer Spirit, Luzaro stepped in. "Spirit I admire your energy and speed. I feel that you would make both an excellent hunter and a nanny but for now, since there are no pups to be taken care of, I am assigning you to a hunter rank. When pups begin being born we would like you to step in as nanny but while there are none to take care of your duties will lie with hunting. I know this may be forward but I am going to the borders of Eternal Snowfall to ask for their alliance. Kivah has been feeling ill lately and cannot join me for the journey and Draga must remain here to oversee things while I'm away. Would you mind accompanying me? I do not expect any trouble from Eternal Snowfall as they are a peaceful pack but should something go wrong I would like to have you with me so that you can escape and run for help on your swift paws. Would you do me this honor?" Luzaro knew it was a lot to ask of anyone, especially Spirit but he believed in her speed and wanted her with him for this important mission. The red wolf stood and looked at the pink wolf hopefully, wondering what her answer would be.

Draga was about to say something as Cyrus stepped up but quickly remembered he had one more thing to say before assigning ranks. "Listen up! Once you have been given a rank you may leave the border and do as you please. I would recommend finding a suitable den for the night as the temperature is dropping. I also need the wolves who I assign to a warrior role to understand that, if they're needed, they will be expected to hunt as well. The warriors will receive formal training in fighting soon but for the time being will be employed as hunters." Draga finished, satisfied that the pack understood what he had said. He then turned his green eyes to Cyrus.

"I know you will be a good fighter Cyrus, there is no need to show me your skills." The red wolf couldn't help but smile at his pack mate's confident attitude. "Cyrus I hereby assign you the rank of warrior." It was now Spirit's turn but after she finished speaking, Luzaro stepped in. Draga blinked a moment, surprised by the sudden interruption but then nodded knowingly when it dawned on him that Luzaro needed a companion to go to Eternal Snowfall with. Not waiting for Spirit's response as it would be directed towards his brother anyway, Draga moved on to a wolf he did not recognize. this wolf was large and a smoky gray color, apparently a rogue that had been picked up along the way.

Draga smiled at Liath to show him he trusted Luzaro's judgement in accepting him. "It is good to meet you Liath, my name is Draga and I'm the beta here at Rising Sol. I think for now I would like to place you in a hunter's role because we are in more need of that but if the time arises perhaps we'll switch you to a warrior role." Draga was about to dismiss everyone and trot off to find a den when he spotted a wolf in the distance. She didn't smell intrusive but she also wasn't the wolf that Kivah had walked away with. Draga then noticed that the silver she wolf from before had also returned and was speaking with the brown wolfess. The red wolf trotted up the females and nodded at them but kept his tail raised slightly. "Hello there, I'm Draga the beta of this pack. I assume you met with Kivah our alphess? What are your names?"

Sonora watched the proceeding in silence, trying to keep track of everyone's names but quickly starting to fall behind. She turned when she heard a familiar voice and wagged her tail when she saw the silver wolf from before. "Hi," she responded. She was about to say more but caught another voice from the other direction. She turned to see a red wolf approaching. When he introduced himself as beta the she-wolf bowed her head just enough to show the appropriate amount of respect to the beta of her new pack. "My name is Sonora. Kivah granted me the rank of warrior.

"hello there" shiver spoke softly. "my name is Shiver, I am now a hunter of this pack." I dip my head in subtle submission. she thumped her tail on the snow happily. it seemed she was fitting faster than she had thought.

[Juice]

Cyrus bowed to Draga, happy at his decision. The black and gray wolf didn't bother paying much attention to the other goings on as daydreams of being a strong warrior began to enter his head. The ambitious wolf couldn't wait to get started on training to hone his fighting skills so he sprinted away to dig a den for himself.

ooc: Sorry for crap post. xD But Mothy said I should post so that it would be Dew's turn :3

Spirit

    The pink wolf stood with her tail making a windstorm, listening to Luzaro. Spirit almost jumped with joy when he asked her to come with him. "Oh boy! A journey!" She stood and bowed her head in a quick show of respect. "I would be honored. When do we leave?" Spirit stood on pins and needles waiting for the Alpha's response.

Liath

I was happy to meet the beta Draga as he seemed kind and generally concerned for the well being of his pack. I was also glad to be put into a hunter role and I felt it was a good use of my skills. I did notice that two she wolves had appeared, seemingly from nowhere, that had not originally been at the gathering but I supposed they were new members that alphess had recruited on her short absence. I was interested in meeting the rest of my pack mates but, for now at least, I was tired from my journey and needed a rest so I trotted off to find a den of my own.

Luzaro laughed openly at Spirit's energy and was excited by it, the type of enthusiasm she exuded was contagious. "I'm glad to hear you're up for the task!" Luzaro said with a wag of his tail. "I know it has been a long day but the journey must be taken now. Worry not because we shall rest on the way there should it become necessary. Follow me and I will tell you our mission along the way." The red wolf was about to bound out of the borders of his newly found home when he stopped abruptly, hearing a sound. It seemed to be a howl and, knowing Kivah was not feeling well and already had her paws full, the alpha decided to take it upon himself to investigate.

Luzaro turned to look at the pink wolf apologetically. "Oh dear, it seems I'm needed at the border. What lousy timing." his green eyes had lost some of their luster now that he had to tend to something else but it was alright, he would soon be able to take his journey with Spirit. "For now I must tend to something at the border. Our journey will have to wait until tomorrow so perhaps you can relax and rest up for a bit in your new den." the red wolf gave Spirit a reassuring smile before bounding away towards the borders.

*Exit Luzaro*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Draga smiled and wagged his tail at the two newcomers. He had been right in thinking that Kivah had spoken with them and sent the two over to meet with Luzaro. Perhaps Draga had misjudged his brother's mate, these two new recruits were fine specimens and seemed like they would bring a lot to the pack. "It is nice to meet you both-" Draga began before turning first to the brown wolf "Sonora-" and then to the silver wolf "And Shiver." The red wolf smiled at the two before continuing with his conversation. "Since you two have already been assigned a rank, you are free to find ones for yourselves or explore the territory. We just arrived here so the scent borders are not all that strong yet so just be wary of where in the territory you stray. I look forward to getting to know you both better but for now I am exhausted from the trek here and need to rest with my mate, Webber." Draga gave a small respectful nod towards the females before trotting away and leaving them to their own devices.

*Exit Draga*

ooc: Phew sorry, I just wanted to finish this thread up lol. Dew I will PM you when I make the thread for Spirit.

I nod and then race into the trees to explore my new home.

-exit shiver-

The brown she-wolf nodded again as Draga took his leave. With him and the alpha gone, the group began to discentigrate. Sonora sat in still observance as her packmates broke apart and many of them left the area, including Shiver. It seemed most of her new packmates were more interested in resting and exploring than getting to know one another. A little disappointed, she decided it couldn't hurt to do a little exploring herself. She wanted to know her pack's territory like the back of her paw before long. With not a stretch nor a shake, Sonora stood and slipped silently away, disappearing into the trees.
