Winter had set upon the pack, and it was high time the pack got together to hunt. He didn't want anyone going hungry in this cold season, especially here in the North. He'd had no trouble providing enough for his girls, but he needed to make sure the rest of the pack was cared for, too. Especially Armai; even with her feline companion, it was uncertain whether or not she was getting enough. And what of the others? They all needed to help one another, and if they worked together as they should, then they would all have full bellies. Early in the morning, just as the sun was beginning to peak over the icy mountains this morning, Xephyris had spied a small herd of dall sheep coming down the big rocks at one end of the beach. They would be the perfect target for the wolves of Vyper. So, standing against the lava rocks some distance from the mingling herd of sheep, Xephyris planted his paws in the obsidian sand and lifted his head to howl. For the first time in a long time, he called to his wolves, and he wondered who would appear. He hoped that his members hadn't drifted too far. He hoped that they would come. Right now, they needed to be united more than ever. Taking a deep breath, his tail swishing, he waited to see who would come to aid him in this pack hunt, so that they would all eat well. OOC: This hunt is not mandatory, but I encourage all in Vyper to join in! I'll be posting the next round for this hunt next Sunday, December 11th! "Talk" "You" Think

She knew enough that a call meant her father was doing something big. So Memphis had dropped whatever she was doing and scrambled to her paws. She headed towards where her father called, tripping in the snow for a moment until she bumped into his leg. "What's going on daddy?" she asked curiously. If it was something important she wanted to watch. She knew she wasn't big enough to help but one day she would be! "Can I stay?" Memphis would then ask as she took a seat. She swore she would behave, she'd been a good girl so far right. As much as she wanted to go off adventuring she'd stay within the borders. After all, she and Saffron couldn't go worrying their father could they? "Talk" "You" Think

Armai padded along the beach with Nox in tow. Things had still been too silent. She'd caught up with Brutus which was nice, but Armai was painfully aware of how still everything had been. It's like the entire pack had ground to a halt which made her sad. It was different from Myriad. She somewhat missed the comforts of the willows and her old den, but that pack was long gone. On the bright side there was no longer any wolves here to rip the pack apart from the inside. There was no Ren and no Nixie. No drama anymore. With Limno gone too everything was calm and for that Armai was at least grateful. She didn't want this pack to fall apart too. A howl interrupted her walk and she paused with a foot in the air. That was Xephyris! Was it a pack meeting or did he have something else in mind? He was raising two kids by himself and running a pack so Armai didn't blame him for being busy. She'd spent some time with Memphis herself - the girl certainly acted a bit older than she was. She certainly asked questions that she didn't expect to hear from a kid. She pressed her flank against Nox and together the two headed towards the rocky outcropping that cooled lava had created ages ago. She sniffed around and was surprised to see that no one except Memphis had arrived yet. Since when was she early to things? How odd. Regardless she sniffed around and pinpointed Xephyris' location after a moment. She smiled in his direction and wagged her tail. "Hey Xeph." She then sniffed and found Memphis and offered her a wider grin. "Hello Memphis. How's your foot doing?" Walk, "Talk" Think "Nox"

The female stretched her limbs as she heard a call. Something was going down and she was excited for that. Yona knew no one from the pack besides Jaelle, however her extrovert nature kicked in and she was bright eyed and bushy tailed for these events. The mostly white female would show up when only one other member had shown. Though it seemed one of Xephyris' children had wandered into this. "Hello everyone." she greeted with a smile towards the three of them. "My name is Yona Ancora I look forward to working with you." her tail wagged back and forth. Then taking a seat she would wait to be instructed. With the scents in the air she could only guess that it was a hunt. It was a great way to get her energy flowing - she knew that much. "Talk"

She had just started to walk up the slope and outside of Vyper lands when she heard Xeph's howl. Groaning, she paused right in the center and peeked over the side to peer at him. He was standing there waiting, before long Memphis and Armai joined him as well. Tossing her head up, she closed her blue and brown eyes as she thought. He would have enough wolves, right? She was really hoping to get out today when she saw that the silver knight was kicking around, a chance to get some of her jitter bugs out. But Memphis was just a child, and Armai was blind. How much help was that really? Blowing out a sigh, she lowered her head to see a familiar form enter the group. Yona? She had joined Vyper? Jaelle knew that she had mentioned it when they met, but she hadn't been expecting the woman to show up. Knowing that she should be helping out anyways, the chance to speak to the pale woman again was what really made the final choice for her. Taking one last, longing look at the outside world she spun around and headed back down for the beach. Picking her way though the snow, her bells announced her arrival as they usually did. Surprisingly she did know how to move without making a sound, but for the moment there was no need for it. She headed right for Yona, a smile on her black lips as she aimed to bump her shoulder lightly against her hip. "I thought you said packs weren't your thing," she said in a teasing voice, plopping down beside her with a wink of her blue eye. Steadily she looked at everyone else here, a more tender smile offered to Xeph and the child. She hadn't heard her words of wanting to stay, but she wondered if he would allow his daughter to join them. Next she looked at Armai, even though she knew that she couldn't see her. "Hey, how's the herbs and stuff? You know if you ever have an order I can look for it while I'm out and about," Jae offered, causally shrugging her shoulders. She was out there all the time, she might as well turn it into something useful for Vyper. "SPEAK"

Vincenzo had a grin on his face as he headed toward the summoning. His spar had gone decently enough and he was now a member of the Vyper pack. Finally, a fresh start. However, the scarred man couldn't help but wonder if this might be some sort of betrayal in the eyes of the Fratelli Rossi… what was left of them anyway but as far as he knew he was the only member that remained in Boreas. The others had scattered to the wind seasons ago. He hoped that Basileus was doing well wherever he was.

Vincenzo eyed the gathering of wolves that, for now, were strangers though he hoped to see them as packmates soon, though he wondered if they would ever feel like family and if he would ever dare to feel a bond like that again with another group of wolves. Dipping his head in greeting to Xephyris he settled down a little ways away from the group. He didn't feel like going out of his way to get to know anyone just yet, still feeling embarrassed by his failings with English. He was getting better and basic phrases were easy enough but beyond rehearsed questions he found himself struggling.

"Why"
