(Kids may post now, but Anaeia will be summoning Glacier)

The calls of war filled the air, the enemy was moving into their home and ready for battle. Sin ordered the boy to take the children and go to Donostra towards the sea, Silva would be able to help with locating the pack. So with that the boy gathered the children and fled the territory, nosing them along the way, making sure to move swiftly and keep to .

Ganta, Obscuro, Shiro, Silva, Sheerun, Arcadios.

Each child was accounted for, with Silva in the lead to show them where to go. Quickly he would throw a glance over his shoulder, wide eyes looking to the yearling girl, Anaeia, who was taking up the back end. She was silent, as if she had lost her voice the moment the calls rang out but she wasn't frightened like himself. Gulping, the group finally came to a stop once Silva signaled them, the slave looking to Anaeia so she could summon the leader.

Sheerrun was worried for the pack. He did care about his family, and was worried about whether or not they would be severely injured or even come back alive. A small sigh escaped him as he sat down beside Squirrel, his eyes shifting over to the male as he gave a friendly smile. He didn't even know what to do at the moment. Every time he thought of his father, worry surrounded him. He knew the alabaster brute was strong and would come back alive, but his mother on the other end, he was worried that she would be killed. Even though they didnt like one another, he still cared about her. He closed his eyes and hung his head low.

'I don't understand what's going on...' The young brute would lift his gaze to Squirrel as he walked along, keeping Obscoro in line as they walked. He also kept an eye on Shiro, knowing his other brother was badly sick. His mother didn’t know how to help him... And she worried for Shiro and Obscoro a lot. They were both handicapped... Unlike his older siblings. Flicking his hair back out of his eyes Ganta would speak softly. “Do you think that mom and dad will be alright?” He’d ask his siblings in a low tone. He was afraid, though he was doing his best to not show it and be strong. He didn't want to appear weak... though not because of who his parents were. It was something more so driven into his own subconscious. "Talk" "You" Think

What was happening? One minute he was napping in the shade, next minute an unknown howl had startled him awake, and then Squirrel was nudging him to his feet. Scared and confused, Ganta had helped him, making sure he was on the right path to wherever they were going. His tail was tucked the entire time, the boy pausing once when they had left their territory to gaze back. Though he could not see a thing, he couldn't help but feel like something was wrong. The voice that called didn't sound very friendly, and everyone seemed to be acting with a sense of urgency. His mother had nuzzled him and bid farewell, but why? He couldn't help the sting of tears in his eyes, the curve of his posture as he walked alongside Ganta and the others. The air was quiet, thick with a sort of tense atmosphere he had never felt before. It just...didn't feel right. Obscuro's ears lifted timidly when Ganta spoke, his own heart beating rapidly at the thought. "I h-hope so...what's going on Ganta? Why d-did we have to leave? Who...who called for daddy and mommy like that?" He had so many questions whirling in his mind, each thought growing worse then the last. He thought he felt his chest tighten, lips quivered as he struggled to stay calm. ""

She knew exactly where to go. The girl led the others out towards the beach where she and her father had visited not too long ago. Then, it was a journey she had looked forward to, something more happy. Now...now it was something else. The voice that called for daddy sounded mean, and the pack had moved out shortly after, her father having told them to go to Donostrea, that she would lead them. Ears flicked uncertainly, she wanted to go and be with her father and mother to help, but something told her that wasn't a good idea. So she walked on as confidently as she could, hoping her anxiety and fear wouldn't show. They crossed several territories before Donostrea's borders came into view, she hoped Glacier was ready, she knew she wasn't. She would glance behind her at the rest of her siblings, Obscuro clearly afraid, Sheerrun confused, Ganta holding it together. The others she was sure were just afraid as she was....but she would try to be strong. At the sound of her brothers voices, she would slow her pace some. "I'm sure they'll be fine...last time I was here, daddy told Alpha Glacier that someone wasn't happy that daddy had a pack. I think...today they came to take our home away." The thought of that happening made her stomach turn. Would they lose their home? If they did, would daddy get it back? Would they keep their home? So many thoughts, she wasn't sure what would happen. Finally, they would reach the borders, the girl stopping just outside of them as she waited nervously. Looking towards Squirrel and Ana, she hesitated a moment. She wanted to go back home. To throw herself into her den and refuse to leave. It was her home. Nobody else's..."We're here." She could smell the pack scents drift towards them, was Glacier beyond the borders? "Speak"

Not yet recovered from his illness, Shiro was lagging behind a little bit compared to the others. Paws were placed heavily in the earth, having to push himself, breathing heavily and needing a nudge here and there from Anaeia or Ganta. They had been moved suddenly and without an explanation from anyone, not even from Anaeia who was the only adult who could talk. Worry grasped his body, holding on tightly and only seemed to grow tighter the farther they moved away from home. "Yes... they... strong..." Each word was a struggle to voice, going silent when Obscuro and Silva spoke up so that he wouldn't have to force his lungs any more than he has. So when they finally stopped at a new packs border the boy would collapse into the grass, nearly gasping for air with his ears pinned back and beginning to feel nauseous.

They moved as quickly as they could manage with the children in tow, keeping the group tightly together in case someone had decided to follow. This whole thing was ridiculous, leaving Anaeia in a very foul mood the moment she heard that conflict was possible after Hellstrom's formation. She would push on however, moving in silence and giving a nudge to the sickly pup along the way. They were making progress, and in what felt like no time they had made it to another's borders with Silva confirming this was the place. A glance was thrown her way from the slave boy, and with an annoyed growl she would lift her snout and give a soft summons for the leader, just loud enough to be heard here and no further.

The soft howl would almost go missed by the Alpha – they didn't receive many visitors and he certainly wasn't expecting the call. He tilted his head for a moment as the last strands of it vanished into the day and after a moment he would investigate. He would move from the beach to the Prairie and soon be at the border. When he did arrive, to see the bedraggled and scared children laid out at his feet, the giant would simply stand there and watch for two long moments, blinking in shock. It wasn't often anything truly got through Glacier's outer layer of calm but the unexpected sight would stop him in his tracks and it would be a moment before he took another breath let alone take in the scents of the pups and realize that they shared the scent of Sin on their coats. After his talk with Surreal, he was instantly weary, what stunt was Sin trying to pull here? what on earth would he gain from sending his pups to Donostrea? why would he...? but his thoughts where already clearing as his shock dissipated and he would understand. He said he would not turn the pups away if they where left alone and defenseless, this must mean that Sin was... dead. He cleared his throat, shifting his feet uncomfortably as he looked down on the much smaller figures. He recognized Silva, but no one else and after the long uncomfortable moments in which he had stood there, working it all out, he would finally shift his gaze between the yearling and the adult. “What has happened?” he asked at last, his brisk voice softening, his looming height dimming as he seated himself into a less intimidating figure, waiting to see who would take up the authority of speech. "Speech"

  

A very large man emerged from the territory, stopping when he noticed the group of children with pretty much two teenagers on either side. Anaeia lowered her head, but her mismatched eyes remained on the blue tinted wolf, silent. He looked uncomfortable in their presence, and that would only cause her hairs to prickle at her back. Had the unnamed wolf spread rumors to his doorstep about them already? Was Sin wrong in sending them this way? Eyes narrowed, tempted to just leave Squirrel to handle this but instead she went against it and remained.

"They came." She spoke simply in a low tone, tail flicking against the grass. The attack had been launched on their pack, fangs flashing and blood splattered against the ground for sure. "He sent us away." She added on, motioning towards the children and Squirrel who was slumped over and in obvious worry, glancing over his shoulder every few moments as if something was out there watching. Her features were surprisingly calm, not afraid, simply annoyed.

Glacier's eyes shifted to the one that spoke, the female yearling who by the sound of her voice he believed might have been the one to call him. Her explination was extremily short, but Glacier had already gained enough information at this point to know what he spoke of. Surreal had told him that Abaven was likely to siege this pack, and here it was then, the final evidence of Abaven's intent. The short sentence “They came” had to mean Abaven's attack, and “He sent us away” surely implied Sin, sending the children here safe and out of the way as war raged in their pack lands. He hesitated, it wasn't exactly as he meant, and yet, they where just children, they should definitely be away from the fighting and harm, they should not have to witness their pack torn apart. He frowned, he hadn't yet had a chance to talk to Voltage about the larger going on's of the world outside of their pack and now it was thrust upon him, he needed to consult with his Co-Alpha. “Excuse me but a moment, I will be back, and fear not, your safe as long as your at my border” he promised, noticing the weary glances over her shoulder, and needing to ensure them that he would not let harm touch them well they where within his realm. He sighed, and moved a discreet distance away, out of earshot of the small child-pack and called for Voltage. "Speech"

  

Voltage Elementas Voltage was not too far behind his brother. While had hadn't moved as quickly towards the call, he was attentive too it. First he had to put his children away and be sure they stayed put, for once, before he could leave. But when Glacier's call sang for him, he couldn't wait. Instantly he was off, bounding like a streak of lightning across the praries, his breath coming in quick pants. Worry echoed through his mind, but he quickly silenced it, knowing his brother's call wasn't exceptionally urgent. It didn't take him long at all to reach them, his paws chasing across the grasslands, and he'd slow to a trot when he was only several feet from his brother. Sharp stormy eyes took in the scene, tracing over the random kids and breathing in the strong scent of another pack. His eyes would quickly turn to Glacier, questioningly. His brother wasn't one to keep anything political from him, at all. They had a rule, a belief they shared. Their family meant everything, their safety just as much. They never promised their loyalty away, and they never put their safety in jeapordy. It was just them and their ironclad (hopefully) borders that kept them safe. But something had changed recently, they had both became new parents. Well, technically Glacier hadn't but the brother's shared everything. Not mates and children, no, that was weird. But they shared emotion, and they shared their family. Uncle Glace was as much of a father to Illume and Current as Voltage was, minus the obvious part. And with new children came new worries, new vulnerbilities, and new...feelings. While Voltage was paranoid and protective, he also knew that a child in need was a new weakness. So he'd stare at his brother, a small smile on his lips and his eyes narrowed accusingly. "What did you do, brother?" He'd rumble, staring at him as he moved up into his space, his voice hushed just enough to keep out of the sensitive ears of the children. "speech"

She didn't like this, not one bit. Even on the way here, she didn't want anyone even remotely touching her. Though of course she stuck behind Obscuro and Ganta to make sure they were okay. The little green eyed fluff ball wasn't about ready to let her blind brother and her fabulous brother get lost. As the adults spoke among each other Arc had a clear frown across her face as she sat separated from the others then. "Stupid wolves, daddy will teach em all a lesson." she muttered half to herself as her tail fluffed up. Dad would be fine right? She couldn't stop feeling the enraging feeling and the hurt that came with thinking what if they beat him? There was no way their dad could lose though. He was.... their dad right? Arc sighed and lowered her head, they would just have to wait it out and see.

Voltage would waste little time in appearing after the call, hinting that he had already been on his way, sped up by Glacier adding his voice to the mix. He watched Voltage's eyes trail over the young ones and then Glacier, and his expression became a little sheepish. Voltage's first words didn't help matters much, through it tugged a smile across his grim expression. He didn't take the bait, through he was tempted, instead he moved on to ask his brother “What do you know about Threar, Hellstrom, Sin and Abaven and how they connect, i'm not sure what news you've heard? What I've learnt is still relatively new and I haven't a chance to share it” he said, needing some ground to stand on, so that he and Voltage where on the same page before he could go on to explain what the children where doing here. "Speech"

  

Voltage Elementas Voltage's ears would twitch, his eyes would narrow at the sheepish smile on Glace's face. Oh, what did he get them into now. But when he spoke Voltage quickly clued in, knowing his brother far too well. Sin and Hellstrom were new to the equation, he had never heard of them before but they didn't sound all too pleasent. Anyone who named their pack something like that weren't someone Voltage would like to deal with. But the hint at Threar and Abaven. He quickly curled his lip, staring at his brother. He wasn't angry at Glacier, or angry in general. He was worried, very very worried. "Glacier, what has happened. Is Novella alright? Allen? Frith?" He would drop his gaze then. Oh, if any of them had found any harm, Voltage wasn't sure what he would do. Unless of course they did something to this 'Hellstrom'. But that didn't sound at all like Novella's pack, or like Allen's. No, they seemed so peaceful, too gentle. He'd look at the children then, their scents so unfamiliare he quickly knew that they weren't Abaven or Threar. "You know how little I've been able to get away from Illie, Glace. I haven't heard much of the outside world. What has happened?" He'd lift stormy gaze up to Glacier again, worry and anticipation running like sparks over his flesh. It was so thick it was almost palpable. Oh Glace, what did you do. "speech"

Glacier would frown at Voltage's questions, he was completely out of the going on's, Glacier knew he had been spending a lot of time with his children lately but he had hoped Voltage had some idea of the way the packs around them had started to shift. “Alright." he said, getting down to business "Voltage, take a breath, and let me explain fully before you interject.” He said, leaning closer to his brother, keeping his eyes on his brothers brilliant golden orbs, almost seeing the sparks flying as energy coursed through his brothers veins. “Threar was challenged for and disbanded, a new pack rose in their wake – Hellstrom, led by Sin. Yes, Threar was a gentle pack, and I know we are both sorry for its loss, but its done now and Sin is paying dearly for bringing about their downfall. The children here are from his pack, I might have hinted when Sin introduced himself that I had a weak spot for kids, it seems he is making full use of that in a time he needed to the most and with no one else to turn to. I have not and will not offer his pack aid – you and I both agree to the neutrality of Donostrea, but nor am I willing to turn down helpless pups or let them suffer or see suffering for the sins of their father.” he said, he was glad the children could not hear them, and other then the occasion glance their way to ensure they where still out of ear shot, his eyes where intense, barely blinking, remained on Voltage, willing his brothers storm emotions to sail over this with speed. He knew Voltage, he knew he needed to feel everything and would wait a moment for that to play out before he would offer the compromise already planning and unfurling in his mind. "Speech"

  

Voltage Elementas Voltage would stare at his brother, watching him and blinking once when he asked him not to interrupt. He'd listen, even though most of it didn't entirely need to be said. He would be dramatic, if Glacier wanted him to be, and slowly breathe in deeply before huffing out a sigh and glancing the other way for a moment before returning eye contact. But when Glacier finished, he'd lower his eyelids and just stare at him with a deadpan expression. Sure he was angry that Threar fell, and he was just as worried as when their Secrutua fell. He would sigh softly, it was the life of packs, dono might fall one day. So he'd just stare at his brother, waiting a few seconds to be sure he was done. "Don't talk to me like a child, Glace." He'd rumble before his smirk slowly spread, and he'd puff out his chest and stick out his tongue. "I'm all grown up now!" He'd laugh then before sighing and looking at the children. What a conundrum. "How can we be entirely positive they aren't spies? Or...one of them at least." He whispered softly before he lifted his eyes to look at Glacier. There was no saying no now, Glace had somewhat promised. "Fine." He huffed dramatically, playing it up. "They aren't to leave the prarie's, and you get to deal with Illie when I tell her she can't venture off the beach." He would look at the children then before motioning with his head towards them at his brother. "You're new career awaits, oh glorious pupsitter." He'd tease, lifting a paw to reach out and pat Glace's leg (for he could not reach his shoulder) before turning away. This was Glacier's situation, and he would just have to deal with it. "speech"

The conversation was serious, and Glacier was weary, when Voltage did finally speak, his choice of wording struck Glacier and he watched his brother weary, it wouldn't be till the second comment that Glacier relaxed, chuckled gently and swiped at his litter mate. He hadn't seen enough of Voltage of late, the inseparable pair had a lot going on in each of their lives., but somethings would never change. Voltage was there when he needed him, he didn't lose it when he mentioned Threar's fall as Glacier worried he might, but took in their situation fairly. Voltage's compromise ran in line with Glaciers, and the larger brute chuckles at that – he had been about to suggest something very similar. “Agreed” he said simply, through he also winced at the mention of dealing with Illie when she was told she couldn't do something or go somewhere, she wasn't use to the Prarie's being off limits. “I agree.. in one condition, if I can rope Gale into it she can be my helper” he would need her energy and speed to keep up with... he did a quick head count, 7 bodies, and the potential Illie troubles. When Voltage patted his paw, the brute shook his head in amusement, swatting gently at Voltage's knees. He took a step back then, returning his full attention to the young ones. “Alright, listen up. We are allowing you onto Donostrea's borders, but there are rules. You, and you” he pointed at Squirrel and Anaeia “Are in charge of ensuring they don't leave the pack lands – if they do, their your responsibility, we offer them sanctuary and food but we will not keep them imprisoned on our lands, but if you want to ensure their safety I advise you enforce that rule yourself” he cautioned the two older wolves he had pointed out. “Further more, your allowed on the Prairie only, trespassing onto Obsidion Beach will have consequences. I will do the majority of the hunting for you, but I will require again, you two, to help me, and anyone else who wishes to volunteer” he had no idea how long the young ones would be staying here, he did not know how long the siege would go on for. After his speech, he raised his head and called for Gale. "Speech"

  

Arc couldn't help it, she fluffed up as she turned to the adults. They would know something for sure. Arc wanted to know what was going on! The giant ball of fluff would start stalking over to the adults. Once she reached the giant one just like Amachi she would raise a paw and start smacking at his tail. Her own tail looked like a giant bush as she swatted his tail. "Hey you dummy, you know what's happening with daddy. Tell Arc what's going on." she huffed. Puffing out her chest to seem more threatening then she actually was. Of course she was but a tiny pup, but she wanted to believe she was just as strong as any of her other family. Even the older siblings who weren't fond of her. One day she'd prove she was just as strong as dad was. And a lot more stronger than her sore excuse for a mother.

He didn't trust them, she could feel and see it in his eyes. Anaeia would sit there quietly and observe, her own gaze narrowing when the man said he would be back then howled. She shifted, slowly glancing around the place until another form emerged from the territory with yellow markings across its body. Weirdos.

A little way from the small group, they would speak in hushed tones, obviously their appearance was troublesome but that was all the yearling could gather. And in a few moments the blue one returned, giving them the all clear to come into their land but there would be rules, pointing to her and Squirrel. Great, she was in charge of the pests. Mismatched eyes glanced down and narrowed on the pups, feeling disgust bubble up but her exterior would remain somewhat calm. They would have to make sure the kids didn't leave the pack lands. They would be allowed on their prairie, and going onto their beach would have consequences. Blue man would do a majority of the hunting but help from them would be required. "Okay." She understood.

And of course one of the more troublesome of the kids went right up and started bating at the man's tail, calling him a dummy and demanding information about her father. Nape bristled, already annoyed at everything that was going on, this wasn't helping. Quickly she rose to all four and slunk forward, going to try and snag the kid by the scuff, not caring if she grabbed it or missed but either way she would shove the kid back with a low growl. "Deaf rat?" It wasn't a good impression but these wolves were giving them safety and this kid was already trying to start trouble.

She would look to Squirrel with a glare and expression ordering him to grab the kid. "Only time." She would say, looking back to Glacier for a moment then moving away to rejoin the small group and wait for them to be lead inside to settle. Hopefully the kid wouldn't try anything again, she was not up to getting her paws dirty while in this place.

Gale Elementas Walk | Talk | Think Gale knew something was up. She wished that she could still be clueless, but she was not, not at all. She should have left that meeting between her brother and Surreal before the technicalities of politics and diplomacy started to come up. There had been a moment, a perfect moment where she could have left the stranger there right when Glacier arrived, but to be polite she had chosen to stay. And received an earful for it. The whole concept of unrest and disquiet between the other packs made her wholly uneasy. It was so much easier to spend her days trapped within her little bubble here on Donostrea lands and pretend that the rest of the world was just as peaceful. It had never crossed her mind that it was that sort of thing that her brothers involved themselves in on a daily basis, that they harbored all these dangerous thoughts of the world outside their home and still somehow managed to make them all feel safe. She admired them even more, though it all felt like too much for her to handle. She had been trying to drive those thoughts from her mind by sticking to tasks around the territory that suited her and brought her the most joy, which of course involved running. She was in the middle of a race when she heard Glacier's call sound across the Prairie and invite her to him somewhere along the border. Her stomach twisted as she stopped, shifted her weight between her forelegs, and hesitated with a look of uncertainty. The last time she had been on the border with him, Gale had heard more than her fair share of information. What could involve them there now? Nervous, trying to summon one of her characteristic half smiles and failing, the grey and lavender wolf drew in a slow breath before turning and resuming her run, now in the direction of her brother's howl. It did not take her long to find him, but as she drew nearer and spotted all the other smaller figures standing across from him, right beside their border, the nervousness of her expression was replaced by outright confusion. Her brow furrowed and her jaw fell slack, her grey-green eyes staring a moment before they narrowed and turned on her brother with a utterly perplexed stare. "I thought you were joking when you said we were giving tours," she remarked incredulously, struggling to think if there could possibly be any other explanation.
