Only a moment of peace

Keep them safe. this challenge couldnt have come at a more inconvient time for him. Pups were vulnerable and a takeover could result in worst these pups being taken from them as war prisoners. It was not easy for the man to feel distain towards parties opposite of his. Perhaps because he grew up in a pack who didnt have any immidiate neighbors. Yet that didnt matter. Eraithus was angry. what had they done to medusa? Hed heard stories of her journey, the broken toes, but he had tried. Eraithus had been civil, even tried to help make Medusa feel like she could be a part of Habari despite her flaws. Eraithus paws flexed his muscles under his body rippling in frustration.

But never did he consider that Recluse would lose her throne. Had he perhaps grew too complacent and soft? Eraithus had made quick work making a temporary den. Voodoos scent still remained from her help and their chat... it made him realize that this was the time better then any to step up for his family. He would protect them at the cost of his life.

His antler armor lay on his shoulders as he had watched the whelps until they finally drifted to sleep despite their anxiety and confusion. Though he wasnt sure... how asleep... they were. His ears rang with the soft sound of Recluses pained yelp. The man quickly removed himself from the shadows of the underground den hed dug out underneath some cover near the cliffs. Immidiately he ran towards her.

"Theyre safe." he began looking over his wife. This much distress meant one thing. "What do you wish to do love?" Eraithus stood tall, a glimmer in his eye that normally didnt show, hatred and determination spreading out in his emotions. "I swear Ill give Medusa whats coming to her, I want to suggest perhaps Auster is a good idea for us to go to protect the pups for now." the edge of his tail twitched. Train. He had to get stronger he felt too weak too out of control in a life hed grown to like.
