Lily saw the sandstorm growing worse, but then sharp yelps and barks rung out. Making her way down the ridge, she came upon two dead guards. "Jabari?!" She howled, concern lacing her howl. The sandstorm was getting harder, she couldn't see much. A howl went up, and she recognized the Desert Hound Army. Walking forward, she howled again hoping Jabari was okay and safe. Any right shifter would be heading for the dunes by now. She thought annoyed with herself, But I can't leave Jabari out here.

Jabari(Awesome!)

Jabari heard a howl "Lily?" he said questioningly he looked at the one warrior "Can you go in the strom I believe there is someone I know in there show her the sand storm pocket ways and take these two with you two gaurds were kiled by him" Jabari ordered the warriors stopped celebrating and immidiatly ran after the storm and entered it. Jabari sat looking at Areldis's body one of the warrior sniffed him and jumped back "Yellow desert flower!" He barked in shock. Jabari stood up "Doesnt tht have the same effects as rabies???" He asked the warrior shrugged "It brings out ones hatred." He explained bowing. The female wolf bowed aswell "Jabari do you remember me?" She asked, Jabari wanted to ask her to take off the wolf helm but knew it was against their customs.

Lily heard scuffling close by and immediately sent out her fire. It cleared out some of the sand and once back, it was cold. Friends. She thought, trotting forward. A warrior wearing a wolf helmet came out. Instead of growling, she flicked her ears knowing that her headress was fully of sand like the rest of her, making her unknown. Following the warrior to a dune, she scanned before seeing a female wolf and Jabari. "Are you okay, Jabari?" First question. "Are you sure?" Second question. Maybe I should let him answer first. She thought to herself quieting her thoughts.

Jabari shook his head, and looked at Lily he looked at his shoulder, "Just a scratch and probably a bruised throat but other than that Im fine." He said the two other warriors came back aswell dragging the gaurds bodies and laying them down respectfully. Jabari got up and approached licking the gaurds wounds the other warriors did the same and looked at the sky "God of death shall look upon these three dead souls and take them in with their pride" They all said then howled. Jabari turned his head a little low "I heard the Desert hounds havea new general?" Jabari asked, the female wolf nodded "Yes, we were just on patrol, until we ran iinto you on the way." She said looking at Lily "Hello I am Beta warrior of my small pack apart of the desert hound army pleased to meet you." She said before rising up "You have no scent?" She asked the other warriors looked at Lily, Jabari stepped infront of Lily "Spirit" He said, the warriors nodded in understanding " Its a shame once were made into warriors of the army we cant smell spirits." She said.

Lily dipped her head to the beta before hearing "You have no scent?" Jabari responded before the female said something else. Lily's ear was itching from the sand and she looked around. "Is there someplace I can get all this sand off me?" She asked politely to them, looking around. Being in a wolf form was hard enough without sand weighing her down.

The warriors snickered"Not common tothe desert isnt she?" one warrior said, Jabari slightly smiled amused. "Believe me these warriors are wearing armour and in their wolf forms, its alot heavier for them but youll see just now the will be faster than you and me combined. "Jabari said with a wiink. The warriors approached "We can head back to the dens and we can get you a personal shower which is restricted for guest, unfortunatly its will be a very cold shower and possibly a uncomfortable oe if the leader decides on also showering" The one warrior teased. Jabari nodded "Dont worry Ill have you get a persoanl shower." He said shaking his fur.

Lily flicked her ears annoyed at them. Looking over at Jabari, she said, "Eh, it's fine. It's hot enough as it is but I can do this instead." She walked outside, sortof hoping the warriors wouldn't follow even though she knew they would. Closing her eyes, her purple invisible fire came out wrapping herself in warmth and burning the sand off of her. The sand gave way revealing her headress gleaming a bright gold. It also revealed the Golden Shifters symbol on it and the Silver Dragon necklace around her neck. Flame will never hear the end of it if I lose that thing. A Norse Shifter sword was revealed on her back. Oops, forgot about that.

The warriors all immidiatly sprung forward into a defensive stance and growled at Lily. Jabari was confused "Uh, Lily you know burning sand will make it into sand right?" He said beforelooking at surprise.

Lily turned as her fire surrounded her in a defensive circle. "Regular fire would do that, my purple flames are slightly different." She looked at the warriors before asking, "Umm...why are they like that? Is it the sword? I can put it down if need be." She looked a bit confused but then again, she herself could be confusing at times too.
