tracks in the sand

Hey fam, this is a pup mandatory tracking lesson! It'll stay family friendly, and Fortune has the patience to at least make it fun. Everyone else is welcome as well, but it's going to be a basic lesson. A more beefy (read: bloody) lesson for aspiring hunters will be up after this one is complete. I'd like replies by next Friday, the 28!
The sheep had moved on. That's what happens when it gets colder out, and Fortune felt a pang in her chest-- maybe she should follow them. No. This was her family now, and they would be able to subsist on the prey they had. Still... it hurt. Winter was coming, the pack was growing, and there was no one to help her hunt. Faite, sure, but she was even more busy now as their primary alpha. Where had Regulus gone? Surely he was handling something. Still, it was Fortune's turn to step up. It was her turn to make her mark on the pack that her family had run for so long. This was part of being an Adravendi, right? This was part of being one of them. There's something fantastic and final about the way that she's come here, so why not make the most of it? Tracks. There were sheep tracks nearly everywhere, and she was able to discern what direction they'd moved on. It was in a hurry, too, as if the shift in photoperiod meant the end of the world. Days were colder, and it had rained-- perfect conditions for tracks in the wet grass and even mud where they'd grazed the plains bald. Yes. This was a good time for a lesson. She'd show Faite that she was ready, that she could make a difference. She'd show her that this was the right place, and that she could step up within the pack. A howl. For the children, for the pups, for the progeny mostly. Anyone could come, and maybe Fortune could assemble a rag tag hunting party out of what remained. She draws away from the tracks so they won't be disturbed, moving to a more open area on their beautiful stretch of land. They would come. They needed to come. She'd wait for a reasonable amount of time and start when they were ready. Sounded good. fortune shock & awe |

Ever since being allowed out of the den (so long as they promised not to leave the territory) they'd pretty much been given free reign of the place. There were enough adults around to make sure they didn't get into any trouble. Despite the newfound curiosity and sense of adventure, there was something that seemed to be missing. None of them had seen their mother in a while and it concerned him. Why wasn't she around anymore? The thought made him sad more than anything. It had him sulking as he left the den to go see if he could track down Fable for something to do. A howl caught his attention, this one different than the last feminine howl that had called them altogether, and his ears perked up the best they could. Another meeting? Oh boy! His previous thoughts were forgotten as he raced towards the sound as fast as his little legs could carry him. The female that was there wasn't the one that had called them altogether, but he had seen her there. He grinned eagerly up at her and his tail waved faster than the eye could easily follow. He play bowed, feeling far too excited, as he grinned at her. "Hiya!" He greeted her eagerly. "I'm Vawor." He said, thoroughly butchering his own name. Walk, "Talk" Think |

He was awake when Valor left the den, his eyes following the depressing posture of his brother and it made his ears sink and his heart ache. He felt it too, and for a moment he allowed himself to look down and feel the pain from their loss.. only while no one was looking. When the howl came, he perked right back up and trotted along after Valor. He didn't feel so bold as to introduce himself like Valor did, but he smiled to the woman that called them and wagged his tail before sitting down next to his bro. |
