River had spent the last several hours trotting through the valley in search of enlightenment. Which was something that he, as a healer, did often. The brute also had a tendancy to not sleep much, his closeness with the spirits made it easy to get lost in them.
He approached the open meadow and noticed a small herd of elk in the tall grass. He quieted himself so that he would not spook them. Even for moment he considered taking one on on his own, but the effort would have been wasted. I had better find Mekeera and let her know, He thought to himself. Quietly he turned away from the herd and back towards the den. "Makeera..!" He tried to yell for toward the Alpha's den without waking anyone else that might have been asleep still. "Makeera.. we need to get a party together if possible. There is a herd..." He voice softened with a flinch when he noticed that Makeera was too still asleep.

Makeera//Female//Alpha female//3 yrs 2 months//FEP

Finally, Makeera awoke. "I know, just let me give Kaito a proper burial." she told River. Sighing, she looked over to Kaito's dead body. She sighed, tearing up a little. She dragged him out of the den, and buried a hole, then dropped him into it. Covering it up with dirt, she took a small flower to mark the spot. Then, she took a bone from a carcass she had eaten the day before, and gnawed his name onto it. "Yes, I will howl the pack hunt alert, you bring the pack members together. Our food pile is dwindling and we need more food. There is some moose on the Burn 10 miles west." she informed him. She then walked to the food pile, and howled the pack hunt howl. It was a very distinct howl. She had spotted a herd of moose near their territory, about 10 miles west of the territory, called the Burn since all that grew there were trees, short grass, and lichen. A few moose were found, but all were healthy. Perhaps the pack could pick out the perfect one, even if it was healthy.

River | Healer | Male

River nodded to the Fae as she did what she needed to do. As she buried the wolf, River knelled down on his knees as a sign of respect. Once finished, he rose up to meet eyes with the Fae once again.
Her orders were clear and he would follow them. So after her bellowing howl, he turned to wait for the other wolves. There was no telling where they all were, but hopefully they would all show soon so he could give them the run down.
River's stomach growled but he didn't even flinch.

(Alright, thanks)
Serakhri and Makeera:

Serkahri sighed and padded to where the howl was heard. "Snowy, you should follow. The pack hunt is starting. Even though we usually take to... sniffing out the scat of the prey to see if it's healthy..." he muttered, and followed the howl. "When the wolves show up, I will sow them their positions, the most effective and highest raking being in the front. The mid-ranking will be in the middle, and the omegas will be in the back. Snowy and Serkahri. Angel is nursing two pups, so she will stay in the healer's den. I want Kashi to heal a little more in Nova's den, but I want Nova to come. Should she be injured in the hunt, I request you try your best, River. You are the male healer. I want Rahese to stay, as well as the pups and Psi. All other wolves shall come." Makeera informed River. She sat down, waiting for the other wolves to come. Serkahri started advancing towards Makeera and River, but Makeera gave the dominance stance, not the usual one but the signal for Serkahri to submit. Serkahri whined, then did the belly roll, and shoving his face into the dirt. Makeera was not going to let him up immediately, not for all the trouble caused earlier.

Emiko/ female/ lead warrior

Emiko's hears twitched as she heard a slight howl. She felt like she had enough rest to move on and follow where she heard the howl.Feeling normal as ever she got up and padded evenly towards the east. She still scented other wolves so she knew she was close to her destination. She hasn't seen one of her kind in quite a while and she was excited but also a bit nervous to meet them. She kept walking until she noticed that the presence of the other wolves were really close. Her heart rate slightly quickened as she slowly stepped through the entrance. Her eyes widened seeing a big camp full of all different kinds of wolves. She wanted to meet them all but first she had to find the alpha. She took a good look around and saw a somewhat familiar grey wolf. She took a deep breath as she slowly but awkwardly aproached the female. "H-hello..." she said in a soft tone, giving her a slight smile "I'm Emiko. Please to meet your aquaintanc" she slightly dipped her head in greeting.

River | Healer | Male

River nodded to the wolf, " yes, alpha." He poised his position so that he over looked the valley as far as he could. That is until a female arrived, Emiko, River assumed. He watched out of the corner of his eye as the fae approached the Alpha so informally. River could often be considered a prude but he was an old soul and preferred things to be formal and structured. He scoffed and then turned his focus back to the nature landscape before him.

Snowy saw the pack was beginning the pack hunt, and she was in it. Excited, she ran to join the hunt.
I wonder what we're hunting today. Snowy thought.

Iah Cehka | Female | 4yrs 4mnths | Beta Female

Allowing the pup to press close to her side, she gently groomed his ears as he drifted in a surely uneasy sleep. As peaceful as she appeared, however, the gears of Iah's mind ground hard and long -- not frantic, but slow and thorough, endlessly wondering what this tiny pup's story was. Calyx was hardly old enough to be free of his mother -- let alone have wandered into their camp, alone, scared, and grievously injured. Even as she watched, the wound pumped with blood, turning her pale pelt into a sticky red mess. The scent of copper seeped into the air -- and it was notably awkward to be cradling him in the depths of the alpha's den, where no wolf tread without Makeera or Kaito's permission. Guilt trickled in, but she quickly chased it away. It was no time to stand on ceremony -- there was a pup here, terrified and injured, and if the alpha's so chose to oust her, she would turn upon them herself.
Those worries aside, however, getting the injured pup help was imperative. Turning her muzzle to his face, she gingerly swiped her tongue over the wound, temporarily clearing away the blood. I must be bleeding so much because it's near his eye, she rationalized, though the female had no real experience in medicine herself. And, knowing that, she nuzzled the pup, bumping him to his sleepy paws and urging him toward the pool at the back of the den. Once close enough, she pressed the pup back against her side, now directly parallel with her -- side against side, so she would have more access to his face. Dipping her tongue into the water, she lapped a few times -- not drinking, but thoroughly dampening her maw and muzzle. Once satisfied, she turned to the pup, exchanging that dampness gently onto the little male's wound. She tried to be as gentle as she could -- tried to withhold the pain from him, but healing never happened without a little pain. In the end, she could only hope that Calyx would accept her help, and not let his fear overcome him. Nova was too busy, too overwhelmed with the amount of work she was put through. As beta female, she could do this much.

Rahese | Male | 5yrs 7mnths | Lead Warrior

The male was less than surprised as Nova suddenly appeared before him, and he immediately built himself up, lips folding in a ferocious snarl and fur erecting, making him appear all the larger. Stiff-legged, he lumbered towards the small female, golden eyes flashing with hostility as he loomed above her. He was expecting a fight, and he was completely prepared to give just as good as he got -- even more so. Rahese knew it was foolish to underestimate the healer, however, and honoured her with a smidgen of his caution, typically reserved for wolves that rivalled himself -- gaze analyzing her body posture in preparation of her attack.
Her reaction, however, was one that baffled him, throwing him off balance -- in more ways than one. Eyes locked upon her, his aggressive stance dropped instantaneously, emotions freezing over as guilt barrelled against him. Recoiling from her weakness, he even looked away -- though it was a quick, momentary thing, only noticeable if one were paying close attention. Anxiety quickly followed this response, the whites of his eyes beginning to show as he watched Nova -- weak, tired, exposed -- in a way he had never seen, nor expected to see, her before. Exhaustion hung heavy across her form, and the wound he had given her pained him all the more, making his insides squirm as though some wolf were nosing through them, searching for something tasty. That tasty morsel turned out to be his heart -- as it squeezed and squeezed, hurting in a way not quite physical, but in a way it could certainly be felt. Despite himself, the male stepped back, teeth baring as he did so -- confused by the myriad of emotions that crammed all at once into his consciousness. A slight whine rose into the back of his throat, quiet and unsure.
Rahese gave a start as Kashi suddenly spoke, bristling in surprise as she directed a forceful growl at him. She stood near as tall as her brother, and annoyance brimmed in her eyes -- which, in turn, agitated the lead warrior. Who was this wolf, to scold him, when he was of a higher rank. His irritation peaked all the more as she turned to the healer, a commanding tone resounding in her raised voice. A scathing comment on his lips, he only quieted as the pale female settled, ears drooping and eyes sketching between the two darker wolves. He knew she hadn't meant to be rash, though he offered a warning growl in spite of this knowledge -- ready to put her in her place. His wound ached as he did so -- the skin stretching uncomfortably, repeatedly strained by his carefully, burly movements. Otherwise, he held his tongue, ears twitching faintly as she mentioned hunting. Quietly, his gaze turned to Nova, the brute obviously not of any mind to offer his own opinion.

Makeera//Female//Alpha female//3 yrs 2 months//FEP

"Alright. Hello, Emiko. River, please do fetch the other wolves that are coming. We are hunting moose, and they can be fast and unpredictable. However, should we succeed in taking one down, the reward outweighs the danger. Nova will be to the right next to me, in the front. Iah Cehka will be in the front, to the left next to me. River will be next to Nova, Serkahri and Snowy will be in the back, so they can break off from the line to find any scat from our prey that may betray a weak or sick moose. They omegas are to report any clues they find, to us. Signals will be passed around quickly, and if even one small one is missed, the whole hunt fails. Oh and, Kiba, Duke, and all the other wolves coming will be in the middle. They can choose where in the middle they stand. Since I haven't seen Duke for the past month, if you do not find him, he will not come, and it will be his loss for not showing up. I need all of you to be alert, to try your best, and if we manage to get a meaty and healthy enough moose, the wolves chosen to get the first bites will be rewarded greatly." Makeera instructed the wolves. "Rise up, Serkahri." she ordered the omega, being merciful this time. Usually, she kept omegas in submission for greater lengths of time. Serkahri rose up, and took his position next to Snowy. He slyly whispered to Snowy, "Hopefully the moose will be constipated." He couldn't help snickering a little. Makeera scanned the area the pack was about to travel, so she knew what signals to pass.

Calyx | 1 month | Male pup
Calyx was awakened by Iah, if awakened could be the correct term his slitted eyes and stumbling feet those as a sleepwalker as he was led to the powerful waters of the pond. He turned his head away in protest when the female started to wash his face. He was barely awake and the water was supremely uncomfortable as it was rubbed against his eye. Suddenly the delayed effect of the pain sprung into action and Calyx gave a howl of protest as the pain burst from the wound over his eye. He felt week and tired, but the pain fueled his actions. In his half sleep state he did not understand that Iah was trying to help and in his pain,fear and exhaustion the little pup disappeared from sight even as he stumbled to the entrance of the cave with speed fueled by pain. He got to the entrance of the den his pelt flickering in and out after stumbling through the hallway-like cavern which was illuminated by the glow of some unidentified plants. Running from the alpha's den the pup suddenly stumbled rolling several times only to find himself flat on his stomach, with no camouflage, in the center of a group of gathering wolves. Looking at the many wolves the little pup gave a loud growl of defiance his lavender eyes sparking with and inner fire before the pain overtook the small wolf and his head thumped to the ground, the wound over his eye bleeding even more than before...he had fallen unconscious.

Nova | 5 years, 7 months | Female Healer | Falling Embers
Nova sat down rather suddenly her shaking legs no longer able to hold her full wait. Despite the exhaustion and hunger that weighed on her bones the she-wolf kept her posture as straight and as dominate as possible her tufted ears perked forward her eyes pinned on the huge warrior before her. He saw her weakness and stopped which offended the little wolf...If she had still been faking she would have been very proud her ploy had worked. But as it was she was very aware of her vulnerability...no training,experience or self-discipline could fully trump hunger and exhaustion and true vulnerability was something Nova had never allowed another wolf to see ever since she had suffered through and eventually killed her former mate. She growled at Rahese in as much as frustration as in annoyance. Suddenly Kashi stepped between the two wolves standing tall her voice authoritative as she scolded the two wolves. Nova’s onyx pelt suddenly came to life, small multi-colored stars swirling and twinkling brightly within her fur. She turned her growl towards Kashi, but was quickly mollified by the females contrite behavior that immediately followed her scolding of the two older wolves. As if sensing his mistresses distress Ro suddenly flew through the entrance landing on the female's head and staring darkly at the two wolves in front of her as if the magpie blamed them for his wolf's apparent distress. “Where have you been Ro?” Nova asked, her voice tired and quiet as her turbulent emotions finally calmed with the arrival of her old friend. Ro clacked his black beak unwilling or unable to try and communicate through the language barrier all he had seen while trying to get the attention of the winged wolf. The wolf Saran had either been ignoring the magpie or he had not realized the bird was trying to get his attention, either way Ro had followed the wolf from a distance and had seen and only partially understood what he had seen since Nova had told him to try and gauge the new wolf's personality. Nova knew she could experience anything her bird had gone through in the past with the arrival of her second power, but she did not activate it, worried about any side effects that may occur as a result of her exhaustion and hunger. Nova was so deeply entrenched in her thoughts that she did not realize Snowy and Serkarhi had entered the den to challenge Kashi until they had both uttered the challenge. Nova knowing that Kashi’s grievous wound should have now fully healed, nodded her head in approval in Kashi’s direction. Her attention was suddenly diverted with the summoning howl of a pack hunt. Excitement rushed through Nova only to be crushed with the realization that she would be little use on the hunt in her current health, besides she could not leave Rahese here without tending to his wound and even then she would not trust the stubborn wolf knowing he would probably try to go off and fell an elk all by himself to just to prove a point. Nova growled in frustration once again, her favorite activity was a pack hunt watching and listening as the many different wolves gathered to hunt prey, working and coming closer together even as they each proved their individual worth within the pack. It was also a chance to get to know new wolves more personally, to become connected to them and mentally include them within the family also known as the pack. Even though Nova usually scouted ahead or observed quietly from the sidelines it was so very interesting to see the diverse personalities within the pack come to life during the hunt. Shaking her head Nova spoke to the two omegas and the hunter, “Perhaps you should wait until after the hunt to accept the challenge, Kashi, at the moment the most important mission is to join the hunt and sustain the pack. This time though perhaps you should not try and tackle a full grown elk.?.” Nova had no more patience and even though her words were posed as a question and had a hint of that ever present humor they came out with dire authority, a quietly spoken order or perhaps threat depending on how one took it. “Could you tell Makeera, Kashi that I will be of no use in the hunt in my current condition and that I need to fully heal Rahese...perhaps with no one around he will finally let me tend to his infected wound.” Nova eyed the golden eyed dark male watching to see his reaction as she confirmed that his wound was, in fact, infected. The onyx wolf regretted the fact she could not attend the hunt especially since she had heard that a male healer had joined the pack while she had been away on her journey. He was well entrenched within the pack now and Nova was frustrated that she had not yet met the new wolf. There would be more hunts though and Nova was nothing if not patient.

Kashi/ Female/ Unranked/ 3 years/ Fallen Embers
The female flinched as Rahese growled, knowing she disserved it for overstepping her place. But she held firm in her resolve. Looking him in the eye, with ears and tail lowered in the smallest amount of submission she was willing to show. Legs shaking she began to speak before Nova also joined in with a warning growl. Dropping down to the ground, head lowered and eyes averted from ether wolf. "I apologize." Kashi whispered
Showing her neck and taking Nova's well hidden insult silently. 'I am a powerful hunter, I will not be belittled for once accident. I may not be as well trained as some old bat like You!' The anger in her own thoughts scared Kashi, never had she thought of another pack mate in such a way. Brushing the feelings under the rug, the white female groveled a little longer before escaping out of the den. Moving a swiftly as her long slender legs could carry her. Joining the group gathered around Makeera, she approached the Alpha.
"Nova sends word that she will not be joining tonight, in favor of caring for Rahese." Offering a bow of her head not lifting it until the female gave the go ahead. "She sends me with a clean bill of health and only minor restrictions." The last part slipped out a little to venomously, leaving a bitter taste on Kashi's tongue. "My brother and Nova are not with in their den." She said hoping to cover up her last slip. Eyes drifting to the omega male, viewing him from under her cover of white fur. 'I will speak with him after the hunt, just as Nova said.'

Kiba/ Male/ Warrior/ 3 years/ Fallen embers pack
Taken with Rajat in a way he could not explain, Kiba fallowed after the male. It was an after thought to look back at Raven to make sure she was with him. It did not even drift into his mind that the order of things was wrong. Normally he would be able to pick up on the distressed coming off of Rainar, but the males power seemed to be trapping him to look for Rajat only. Eyes still grey, Kiba was unknowingly looking at the other male like a subject would their king. Silently the warrior fallowed along with his chosen in tow. It was still a good thought to him, that Raven have time with his sister.... Only now he could find no reason to return to the pack.
For a while it felt as if he was floating. then it stopped, a flare in his brain and gift sent Kiba nearly tumbling forward. Mind clearing like a fog had been lifted. 'I know that feeling. A side effect of my own gift.' Now the brute fixed a glare on Rajat's back. Before dropping back to fall in step with Raven. 'He must have a gift then.' Glad for his power stepping in once again. The grey in his eyes did not just allow him to know his targets every move, never losing them in battle. It helped the silver male 'see' through other gifts as well. 'A sword and a shield' His father once said. one to help attack and the other to defend with.
Softening his look, Kiba calmed his nerves. "Lets see how this plays out." He said aloud speaking a double meaning. One only he knew of. His gift only worked in its second way if another used theirs on him for a extended amount of time. This made it clear to Kiba that something more was going on within this new pack.

Daphne/ Female/ Alpha/ 3 years/ Setting Sun's
Calming the bristling fur that tried to stand as Makeera turned her back in dismissal. "It would be an honor to be hosted by you. Let me consult with my 'mate' and we will find you." Not sure if the other female heard her Daphne turned to the laid out warrior. Her eyes were hard as she looked down on him. "They should slaughter you for your actions. Be glad that we female are of sounder mind to be civil." Stepping of the male, letting his blood flow freely once more. Making her movements look as if she was simply pacing as she spoke. "If I leave it to you the entire pack would die out." Truly she was trying to make space between herself and the two males. "We come upon a pack with a healer and you kill their alpha." Chastising Madijaster openly no that Saran new her as an Alpha. A quick look in his eyes and she felt guilty some how. 'As is I have betrayed his trust.' he inner self whispered.
Heaving a sigh she looked up at the setting moon. "Roll over." She commanded, willing herself to step back over to the males. Once her warrior was on his back she set about licking at his wound. cringing at the taste. Only after a few swipes of her little pink tongue did the red change. Taking on the color of her venom as he saliva filled the bite marks. No intent on killing the male she used only enough to burn at his skin as the wound closed its self. the potent fluids that ran through her body had many useful traits. Healing was one of them.
'Much as I hate this, I cant afford another loss to the pack.' Daphne thought as she gave one last lick before turning away. Lifting on small yellow, blooded paw she cleaned that as well. "You will be telling your alpha of this." She spoke between licks. Still trying to ignore the strong aura of Saran.

(Sorry for all the post's I have a lot of characters and needed to jump around to find the interactions they had with others)
