Ash heard Starless Night's orders.

"You get Taliene. Follow me quickly!" She got Taliene and started after Starless Night. The woods were dark and it was cold with no sunlight to break through the dark canopy, no light could come in throught the leaves and left it cold and dark. Delta stepped through layers of wet and decomosing leaves and plants, trying not to fall through the soft soil. The weight of Taliene dragged her down as she stepped in a puttle of quick sand. Slowly getting out of it she kept folowing Starless Night though the woods.

Starless Night kept through the dark cold forest with Ash on his back. Making sure the other wolf(Delta) was close behind, he started down a steep slope before coming to a clearing. Old dens strayed here and there and old herbs laid in the middle. Laying Ash down in one of the dens, he turned to the wolf carrying the other injured wolf(Taliene). "We should be safe here. It is not in any territory but known as the Borderlands. Anyone who comes into the Borderlands must be peaceful or else the mountain wolves will strike. The forest doesn't yet know that the mountain wolves are dead." He started going through the herbs before redoing Ash's leg.

Goldbeak's feathers stirred as he softly landed on a mossy tree branch. On his golden beak is a grey squirrel matted with blood. The eagle looked around the thick canopy. Suddenly, he sees Delta, dirty and covered in muck. He stares at her with contempt. Wretched wolves, he thought. Goldbeak finishes the squirrel, and flies away, leaving only the inedible remains of his prey as a sign of his being.

Goldbeak settles down on a tall birch. He tucks in his wing and ponders what he'd just witnessed. His morning patrol did not go well did it? A wolf pack, he thought. When was the last time he'd seen one of them? When he was a white chick in a nest? They are back, he thought. It troubled him. He recalled his mother's words: Defend your territory, defend your life. The eagle clicked his beak, thinking. He was never one for thinking but the thought stuck to his head like tree resin. Goldbeak shuddered and closed his eyes, ready for some needed rest.

The wolf was quick (Uno). Kanari growls in anger every time she gets bitten by Uno. She finally managed to hit him in the face with her paw. He's out cold she thought. I just need to take one wolf back to the slueth. Kanari picks up Uno in her teeth, just not enough to choke him, and runs back into the woods

These bones are getting boring she thought. And I'm really thirsty now. I'm sure just a little bit of time out of this den would be alright. Before she could get out of the den, Glory heard paws thumping on the ground. "Dad?" she called out. But as the sound got closer it was something bigger. The thumping slowed down and a bear stepped right in front of the den. She could hear it sniffing. The bear new she was there and it wanted to find her. Glory crawled all the way to the back of den. The bear stopped sniffing and she inched forward to get a closer look at it. What she saw terrified her. Her dad was clutched in the teeth of the bear. Then the bear started to run, taking Uno with it.

After an hour of rest, the eagle opens his golden eyes, observing the forest around him. My territory, he thought proudly. He'd done so well to keep it. He looked down at his feet, smiling at his black talons gleaming in the sun. One of the claws was missing a point. A battle scar, and an amazing one at that. He remembered the winter fight with an eagle named Terror. It was as clear as day. He should never have fought that bird. One kick, and he lost a talon. Don't think about him, Goldbeak told himself. Terror was a pile of bones now but he had only grown stronger from that moment. He was alive, and he'd do the best to keep it that way. Food, his mind said. Food was what kept him strong. Goldbeak scanned the ground before him and catched something moving in a grove of aspen. With a screech, he opened his wings. It was time to hunt.

Flame ran through the forest at a slow lope before hiding behind a bush. The bear held Uno and was heading deeper in the woods. She was about to follow when two thoughts came into her head. The first one was that she was too slow and too old to do that. The second was a whimper. Ducking her head, she stopped outside of a burrow where she poked her head inside. "Glory? Are you okay?" She asked backing up.

Taliene awoke from her slumber. "H-huh? What's going on?" she asked. She looked around, bewildered. She was unsure where they were. They were no longer near the road, nor the stream. Her senses went haywire trying to locate where she was. She saw Delta nearby, and Starless Night. "Where are we?" she asked, wincing when she felt the wound on her leg.

Faith flapped over the forest. Coming in from the Frozen lands with the other animals, she was unknown to these lands. Gliding above the trees, she allowed her sight to go. She didn't like flying in the daytime but in twilight and sunset, it was okay. She flew across the forest before seeing wolves. Wait--Wolves?! She hovered in the air, watching the wolves and a bear. The wolf pack looked new out in the forest, nothing like the mountain wolves that she was used to. An elder in the forest close behind was speaking to a burrow, which was weird. She let out a screech before diving circling the pack before landing in a tree nearby. Only thing she didn't know was that there were foxes watching her.
