Winter Den

"Thats about right ash."

I look up at Convel. "Whos that?" I ask.

walks back, sits down "Thunder don't move just let the herbs work, here eat some poppy seeds they should lessen the pain, and help you sleep" moves the seeds near Thunder *sighs* "there is not much else I can do, Convel I need you to hunt, take someone with you, I know that your duty is usually to find the elk, but today you need to hunt, seeing Blizzard has run off"

"Alright i will go hunt some elk any volunteers to help?"

I puff out my chest to make me look bigger and says, "I will!"

I look at Amari "Are you sure?"

"Yep!" I bark happily. I know I am a small pup, but I know Im stronger than most pups.

"Alright well lets get going to the golden plains"

"seeing as Thunder is unable to teach you anything Convel will be you temporary mentor, I may change this so you are getting a good mix of training, but Convel will do for now"

I look up at my new mentor, my eyes gleaming. "After we get back should I train anything?" I say to Convel.

"Yeah we will but right now we should go get some elk" Walks off to Golden Plains

I follow happily.

I arrive with the elk at the den "Moon i got the elk like you asked."

She sighed with relief as Thunder managed to say something. She looked up at Moon. "I'm glad you came back when we needed you, Moon." She thanked her, smiling.

"Thanks Convel, Amari the elk should help, I think everyone needs some food and rest, these last few days have been stressful, and it no problem Jewelz I kind of guessed this sort of thing would happen, yet still no-ones told me how Thunder got hurt"

"Oh, sorry, Moon, it hadn't crossed my mind." She said to Moon, "I believe he was attacked by a bear, or a bear attacked him; I don't know, but it did envolve him fighting a bear." She continued.

I lay down under a tree happily. I think of one of the legends my mother told me before my father killed her. "Amari, which story would you like to hear?" She would ask. "I wanna hear the one about the wolf who fought in a war!" I would yelp happily. "The legend was: A brave female whose name was Scar lived in a forest that was taunted by hunters. They wanted the gleaming water the wolves protected. One day, Scar took her troops to the human cities, where their base was. They killed many, but as she was going to kill the leader, he knocked her off and took out a gun. As he fired the bullet, her best friend, a raccoon called Stealth, jumped out and took the bullet. She was about to jump up when he shot Scar, all the same. Legend has it that she was such a good leader, and the mourning was so strong, Delphi the Wolf Goddess spared her life, and sent her back. Stealth wasn't the same. They buried him under her den, and now he lives on in spirit form with her.

"alone?" Moon asked "did Thunder lead a patrol alone? because if he did that was incredibly stupid, you never go on a patrol alone, if something happens, you need a wolf to go get help, maybe Thunder should think a little more next time, oh well what can we do what’s done is done" *sighs* walks over to the back of the den and sits alone, before curling up and going to sleep.

I fall asleep, dreaming that Im in a forest all alone.
(Down Below is the dream, not rp if ya havent figured it out)

I stare at the willows creaking in the darkness. All of the sudden, a murderous figure swipes at me and knocks me off my feet. I get up with blood dripping from my mouth. I notice Im much bigger, and I figure this dream is from the spirits, maybe even telling me my future. The figure walks out to be my father, a murderer, the killer of my family, the one wolf I fear. My vision blurs and I am even larger, in a city, with another wolf. A human is about to shoot me, but a larger wolf, a male, jumps in front of me, saving me. I think, "In my future, is that my mate?" "Tamaska!" My leader shouts. Once again, my vision blurs. I am only a month older from the last vision, three years. My fathers voice calls from behind, and when I turn, he swipes my face. Blood drips down from my mouth, but I am too scared to fight the wolf. He drags me onto the grass, staining it red. He twists my neck, killing me.

I wake up with a gasp. My eyes are big as I try to forget the nightmare, but I can't. I look at the females and I try to snuggle deeper into the rock, grass and tree root.

"Yes, alone." She answered Moon as she walked off. "That's Thunder for you..." She sighed as she turned back to face him. She stared at his scars for a little bit before standing up and eating from the elk carcass that Convel and Amari had brought back earlier. After getting her share of the carcass, she went back over and sat next to Thunder to keep him company and safe.

wakes up and walks to the elk carcass and eats before walking over to Thunder to check the wound

"I'm glad it's not infected." She said to Moon as she walked over, not turning around to look at her.

"yep, although I'll need to put fresh herbs on every other day to stop it from getting infected"

"Until the scars scab over," She added, "then they will be fine." She forced a smile at Thunder, knowing that he will be alright.

"it's not the scar I'm worried about it's his cracked ribs that could cause problems”
