we didn't start the [FIRE IN ABAVEN]

As Leonce stared at the lion he heard the pup cry out “Canni is Abaven, she saved my life!” He began to let his defenses slip as the lion put the pup down. He noticed another wolf come up and start accusing the lion of the same thing he had. The lion began to speak at them in a rather intimidating way, it had never been Leonce’s intention to keep them from reaching the river. After all lion lives were just as important, he just wanted to make sure the pup was safe. He was in the right here wasn’t he?

Taking a step back Leonce saw the lioness nudge the pup towards her presumed uncle before jumping into a tree, man he wished he could do that. Seeing the pup’s reaction to this Leonce was assured that this lion was no stranger, he did feel bad though since he had jumped to conclusions. That wasn’t normally like him, he began to slump over a bit. He had tried to do something good for the pack and it had back fired on him. This story wasn’t going to leave him alone anytime soon.

He hadn’t noticed the other things happening around him, he looked at the wolf the pup had called taffy to signal that he would have to deal with this situation by himself. Leonce wasn’t going to be any more help here, he had done enough damage as it was.

Looking around him he noticed the ongoing chaos, there were a couple wolves around who looked burned or injured in some way. He noticed a female wolf on the ground by the river with a pup standing over her. As he got closer he noticed it was the pup he had met before, Poem. The woman had a cut over her brow it didn’t look too bad but who knew what could be hidden. The woman possibly passed out from exhaustion or breathing in the smoke so that wasn’t the main concern, she seemed to be still breathing at least. Leonce looked at poem and said “She’ll be fine, focus on keeping yourself and your siblings safe.” He looked around for his companion and yelled out to him “Colin, go get the orange flowers and fuzzy leaves from the plains!” He wasn’t sure how well the ferret could hear him and he didn’t know how fast the ferret could run on his own, but Leonce had to stay here to keep an eye on things. Or at least it felt that way.
