Kestrel flung the stick away. "Wat? You can actually do that?" He asked, shocked. His ears were pricked like cactus thorns. "But, but what do I have to do with anything in this universe? I'm just a plot bunny and a dimention-travelling meme."
Slate overheard this from where he was poking Dark Storm's dead body with sticks, and ran over like the roadrunner on Wile E. Coyote. "Dimension traveling, yes, plot bunny, NO," Slate growled, in a very inspirational way. "You are my worst frienemy I've ever had. Do you have any idea how boring this RP would be if you weren't here for me to annoy?"

Flash tiredly layed down next to a bush watching the other dogs walking around. He sighed

(RIVER)
Tyler shivered violently, his fur in worse shape than the battered terrain around him. Anguish ran rampant through his pelt, yet he couldn't place exactly why he was experiencing the sudden onslaught of furious convictions. He pulled himself forward and continued his lopsided struggle along the shoreline, receiving repetitive watery slaps in the face for his efforts. Why he was suffering in this harebrained jaunt beside a raging river instead of curling up in a den was beyond him, and yet he had no desire to turn around now.
Where was he going?
Tyler himself couldn't answer the shallow question and it was unnerving him.
On one paw, he was seriously debating finding some sort of dugout and holing up for the duration of this freak storm's unbearable wrath. But then there was that nagging conscience biting at him, the kind of feeling that only surfaced when he'd forgotten something vital and everything was about to go wrong if he didn't do something about it... It was as though he'd gone hunting, felled a creature, then left without his quarry- the only meal he'd have a chance at for days.
Hmm. What was that, ahead, pressed flat to the shore by the angry tide?
Brow furrowed in concern for any creature stupid enough to be out in a storm such as this besides he, Tyler quickened his pace and soon found himself sidling up alongside of none other than another dog forced completely prostrate to the sand.
He glanced down at the smaller dog, a female, wondering why her struggle to rise from the current's pull weren't noticeable.
As his keen eyes surveyed her body, almost instantly, his heart sank.
She was most certainly dead. Her eyes were rolled back unnaturally in her skull, and her flanks were bloated with the water she'd inhaled in her attempts to flee a watery grave.
With a forlorn huff, he bent down and latched his jaws around her neck. He tugged hard, and found that the water's determination to immortalize her in its depths was unrelenting.
With a guttural growl seeming to emit from both his gut and the river's, Tyler was flung backward and landed on his back with the dead race-dog atop of him.
His fur twitching, Tyler squirmed out from beneath the shriveled corpse. He eyed it with disgust and began to back away.
But there was something....and in a heartbeat, Tyler found himself lost in her eyes. His paws, so ready to flee this freak show a moment before, rooted themselves into the mud. Then he was staring at this complete stranger, and, somehow, she didn't seem so foreign at all. He bent forward, his jaw slowly opening involuntarily in the stupor left as a byproduct by consternation. The chaotic storm no longer reigned- irrational desperation to recognize this rekindled sense of familiarity had overruled Tyler's instinctual urge to flee this torrent.
"Windsong! Wiiiiiiiiiiiiindsoooong!"
Tyler scrambled backward, and immediately fell back beside the drowned she-dog. Windsong.
The name matched the smoldering recollection Tyler's brain had been pressured by the ages to discard.
The she-dog beside him was Windsong.

"Windsong!"
And she was dead.
Tyler pulled himself to his feet and ran into the face of the roaring wind. The voices beyond seemed to be coming from the heart of the wind, spectral melodies embodied into flesh by the growing shadows that conceived them.
And then there was a dog before him. A tall race-dog, but her neck was curved with the musculature that came with genetics beyond her breed. Her eyes, desperate for some good amidst this darkness, caught his and it was as if she immediately knew. Tail dropping like a stone, she approached him, her head held level, but obviously pardoning him from the scene.

Sure, sure, she wants me gone- I'm a complete stranger standing over her packmate.
Tyler began slowly backing away into the ferocious mists, his tail whipping up around his flank like a dark veil working to conceal him from reality. More dogs began massing into view and clustering around the dead female, their soaked heads pressing tightly into shared grief.
Something bittersweet began stroking Tyler's heart, as if a cat's barbed tongue had made its way within him. The emotional arousal was comforting, painful, and collectively disturbing, so he found himself quickening his exit.
As he pulled his paws- bloodstained from the absence of claws that the mud had ripped- over the beach's rise into the woods, he was tempted back by an unseen force. His eyes were pulled back to the scene of broken unity, heeding to a memory he wasn't sure how had burned itself into his mind so instantly.
And, once again, some physically inaudible whisper reminded him he hadn't always beem a stranger here.

Excuse me what

Stream's breath whistled out slowly like the melody of a songbird caught in an untimely death's vice. They'd come- of course they had, but she'd begun to doubt even that.
Too bad they still have more faith in you than you have -ever- in yourself.
But you were right all along. You knew you'd never get here.

"Pack, we have suffered much. Never in the entire history of any of the four packs has this amount of individuals been lost at once." Perhaps that wasn't entirely true, but surely no past war of this impact could be buried along with its casualties.
"Among all of the friends that have been stolen from us too soon, our dear Alpha gave her life in the act of righting an old wrong."
If only they hadn't as a whole been so trusting, so forgiving of the little hiccups that had hinted to a much greater betrayal just waiting to boil to the surface with aftershocks of devastation.
Do any of them realize that if Bracken had been exposed sooner...sure, it wasn't just him...the other packs had to have had their own contributors to this violent expulsion of inner anarchy...but for us...it was him...
Do they know that Canyon Pack could've prevented this?
Am I the only one who sees those corpses as our kill?

The next words were hard to get out in the same commanding tone. The clearing was absolutely silent now and she had to stand up firm against her own voice as it ricocheted back to torment her the additional length.
"In accordance with ancient pack proceedings, I was set to be her successor."
But now...
"In times such as these, stable leadership is crucial."
You got so close....
"All of you are entitled to that stability."
Stream swallowed away her own lifelong desires and it was more painful than the weight she was angerly forcing down on her faulty hindleg. Something resented bubbled at the corners of her vision. If only these despicable tears were the product of her infirmity; perhaps even more verifiable if from accepting the cruel reality that she'd never be going on blissful pre-dawn runs with her beloved sister again.
But no.
This hurts the most and I hate myself for it.
"I want you to have that stability."
Her fogging eyes were scanning the crowd now, searching for something undefeated that could fell what needed to be.
When she found him, it was her bittersweet last victory before a fall.
"Bear...please attack me."
(watch Bear not even be my charrie cuz I only remeber the reed/shadow fam and Coal and Raksha)

Bear stared (hey that rhymes) in numb shock up at Stream. He was too tired to chastise himself for the lack of horror he felt at such a request, too bloody to even begin to try and follow it through.
"I don't deserve to be this tired, I didn't loose anyone," he thought.
Because you didn't have anyone to loose, whispered his conscience.

He growled at that thought, louder than he meant to. It awoke the fighter within him without him meaning to do so.

"Stream... I..." Suddenly he was tired again. He swallowed nervously, bracing himself for what he knew he had to say. "I've killed enough today, and there's no way in the stars that the last dog's blood that's going to rot in my mouth will be one from my own pack. And much less our next leader, at that." He watched her carefully through hooded eyes, and swallowed again.

Oh, he was so tired of blood.
