Accident. [Mawla; Aquene Pack]

[Mawla]

Accident.

Time: Early in the day, around six in the morning. the sun is barely up.
Weather: It's still a bit cold, but it's warming up quickly. There is absolutely no wind and no clouds.
Location: Grasslands



She didn't know exactly what had brought her back here. It could have been the urge to see Nevar again, maybe it was her being confused to which pack she belonged to. "Nevar?" She called out, looking around for any movement. She couldn't find him, she couldn't even find another pack member. She approached the river and drank from it, keeping her eyes and ears alert. Just because Nevar let her come back didn't mean anyone else was ecstatic about it. She took a minute to stick the majority of her muzzle into the water, and when she came back up and took a deep breath of air, the spot on her head was glowing a light blue. Everything was fine. The color slowly faded away, though. It was already too light out, and the moon wasn't shining down onto her anymore. She could see the sun rising in the distance.

Her head shot to the side and her eyes narrowed. She walked a few steps toward it, not able to see it as clearly as she normally should be. It jumped up out of the bush, glowing eyes, and she barked at it, turning and running toward the buffalo grasses. She looked back, her heart pounding. Whatever that thing was, it wasn't following her, but that didn't mean she was going to stop running. She wasn't going to stop for a while. Besides that, she could smell buffalo where she was going. Feeding grounds could mean Aquene pack. Nevar could be there. She slowed down to jog and eventually ran out of energy. She sat down and panted, looking around. Well... she wasn't exactly by the river like she was supposed to be...

She was distracted awfully easily, though, and just as she was about to turn around, she heard the obnoxious call of a shrill, high pitched call. She turned, and in the distance she could see a very young buffalo, just crying out to his mother. Poor thing was lost.... how unfortunate.

She caught her breath and raced over into the buffalo grasslands, leaning down into a tall patch of grass. She eyed the creature as it cried out, walking in circles. It was so stupid, why didn't it just walk over to the rest of it's heard? Stupid, stupid, buffalo. Her stomach growled and she shut her eyes, counting to five. She took a few steps forward and looked around. The stupid thing hadn't seen her yet, and it's mother was no where to be found. With a snarl she jumped out and began to run at the baby. It started to run as well, and something felt wrong. She turned her head, and there was the most frightening thing she'd ever seen in her life. An angry mother. She tried to turn around and run, but she was too late. The mother rammed into her side, using her horns to dig into Mawla's side and lift her into the air.

Mawla cried out with a loud whine, flailing her legs as she flew up into the air. She shut her eyes tight as she landed on the ground, wailing out again. She got up quickly and started to run. She couldn't move as fast as she needed to. She had two gashes in her side, and there was blood pouring out of them. By now there were multiple herd members flocking over, but only one was attacking. That same female came at her again, throwing her to the side, hooking one horn into her shoulder. She fell on her side and shut her eyes as the mother reared up and stomped down onto her leg. It snapped, it was audible, and another howl of pain came from her mouth. If that would have been any closer to her body...[/color]

[before the attack, on a grassy hill]

Nevar soon over looks the grasslands, as he stood tall on a small hill. Staring at the buffalo as it was about the time to have a good feast. The heat was not exactly there, but give it time as the sun had no shade. The buffalo will soon migrate towards the river and that will help create a simple attack line, and slow the process of the migration as they move further south. He soon then saw movement below, as the herd soon started to scatter and a baby buffalo was lost off into the distance. A small creature soon came into sight, and Nevar's stance soon changed into a worried, uneasy stance. "What wolf would be crazy to attack a buffalo on their own!" he spoke out loud to his fellow pack members. Soon realizing a shine of color on the forehead his eyes began to fill with wonder, "Mawla?" He whisper to himself. And quickly, he took notice the mother's attack.
"Squall and Kaden, there is a wolf in danger. They are located right under the mother's hooves, we must attack it quickly. I will go for the neck, and you guys bring it down. Squall" His eyes drawing to Squall, "I'm going to need your gift to help this wolf after the kill, so we must bring this mother buffalo down."




(Mawla don't reply yet.)

[lythiumjinn09]

"Yes Nevar. Let's go." Squall ran towards the mother buffalo "Friend give me and this injured wolf strength." she howled as he ran "Squall.... Help the wolf.... Courage...." the wind howled through his fur, through his ears. Faster, faster he ran towards the attack site. "Nevar are you ready for the attack?" he barked back to his Alpha.

[Snow]

Nevar watches Squall take off and quickly following afterward, his thoughts didn't really take notice that Kaden or Xanthia wasn't there to help out. He wasn't really surprise by Xanthia missing this hunt, she always got lost with things. But he always wonder if she would walk the wrong path one day, and never return. Nevar's eyes were focused and determined to attack this buffalo, he did not really notice that it was Mawla who was under these hooves, or how badly injured this wolf was. He just wanted to help, plus get a meal out of it.
The buffalo herd soon began to move, as the mother buffalo soon stopped stomping poor Mawla. Bending his behind legs at the last second, lifting his body off the ground. His claws digging into the rough pelt, as his teeth pierces through the loose skin on it's neck. Chocking the buffalo as Nevar's jaw crunches down as blood began to ooze in his mouth slowly. His feet soon stop swinging as they touched the ground, the buffalo's body weaken from the earlier stomping. Nevar waiting for Squall to hit, and hoping Kaden wouldn't be far behind.

[Talen]

Kaden's eyes darted into the distance where he could see what was going on. He felt a rush of urgency as he saw the wolf helpless in that herd of buffalo.

He ran quickly toward the scene, the blood on the grass stinging his senses. The wolf was still alive, he could tell, but very badly hurt. He ignored the discomfort as he looked for a way to help bring down her attacker. With Nevar on its neck, Kaden knew it would be paying little attention to the other areas if its body. He reached down low, which was hard at his height, to grab hold if its back ankle. He could only get so far down the leg but he yanked as hard as he could to make the buffalo fall away from the wounded wolf, his claws digging into the dirt. He figured it would be easier to take her down if she was on the ground, but what does he know about hunting buffalo?
He had been instructed to "bring it down" hadn't he?

The beast wobbled a bit before it started to kick Kaden away, one hoof grazing his foot and almost stepping on his paw. Whe he realized that his strategy wasn't working, he backed up and prepared himself to dig into its side.

[lythiumjinn09]

Squall grabbed a hold of the tough skin, fur exploded in his mouth, then to his surprise blood soon followed. He held his postion just as Nevar said, he heard Kaden had made it and was glad. Soon the buffalo in a last attempt bucked and quivered shaking Squall off and sending him flying. Landing on his feet he regained stance and hit the beast once more, hoping that it would bring her down, and then worried for the injured wolf's sake. "Watch over her." he thought as his jaw clenched shut. "She will be fine, but you haven't much time dear Squall."the wind blew just as if nothing else was moving, except the wind.

[Snow]

Nevar’s body soon shook as his mouth held on to the neck of the mother. Her body shifting as the weight of the two wolves pushed as the impact did some damage. Nevar soon let go as his muscles were slightly weaken from gripping in a difficult position. He stood there as he watches Kaden and Squall attack the buffalo watching the motions quickly change. As the herd moved off into the distance, the young one out of sight, it was only Aquene wolves, Mawla, and the mother. Nevar’s eyes soon quickly drew towards Mawla; blood was seen upon the ground. He wasn’t sure if it was all hers or if some of it was the mothers. He looked to Squall and Kaden, noticing that the mother was finally going down. “Squall, Kaden, jump down and attack together on one side of the buffalo will go down with the impact of both of your wait. Then bite the neck as hard as you can till you hear a break!” He commands them; he turns to Mawla he lowers his body to the ground crawling to her as he whimpers. “Mawla… Mawla” he says hoping to hear some type of response.

[lythiumjinn09]

Squall released his grip, looked to Nevar and then nodded. Together they could, and he hoped that Kaden had heard Nevar's plan. He attacked, the side of the beast and felt the animal loose its feet, it began to fall on its other side. He quickly ripped away from that side, with fur, carnage, and blood spilling in the air. Again he closed his eyes and hoped that himself along with Kaden was hitting the same target. He lunged at the neck, his powerful jaws closing in on the vertebrae, with every crunch came silence. And then nothing.

[Mawla]

There's so much going on around me. All of these wolves, risking their own lives... for me. They fight for me, and all just to bring me to peace. But how? How can I help? I cannot. I was stupid, put myself in such a position death was sure to come; and now. These wolves... they change that, try to turn fate.... Her eyes, only half open, watched the battle between pack and buffalo. She shivered at the sight and looked away. She was loosing a lot of blood, and the pain was extreme. She started to loose her vision and passed out, her body left twitching. She could still hear everything, though; the buffalo's cries, the growls of the wolves. The pain. Something different happened, though and her ears went up. The buffalo's cries started dying away, and then a new voice came; and old, familiar voice.

"N-Nevar..." she whispered, one eye opening the littlest bit and looking up at him. "Never, ever, do something s-so stupid f-for me again." She warned, not able to hold back a smile. "I'm not going to live, Nevar. Get your wolves out of here, you're in d-danger." Her body tightened, and her eyes shut, and her head lifted, and she began to cough. Blood flew out in front of her onto the grass. She whined and sunk back down onto the ground, trembling.
There was so much pain. Her stomach, her ribs, her legs, her head... her entire body was in shakes. The multiple gashes in her sides and legs were stinging every time the wind blew.

She let out a great cry of pain and opened her eyes afterward. Her eyes themselves begged for help, but didn't expect it. "Oh, Nevar..." she whispered, her eyes shutting again. She didn't know if she'd be able to open them once more.[/color]

[Talen]

Kaden listened to Nevar, glad for some direction because he appeared clueless. He attacked alongside Squall, feeling powerful at the way their weight swayed the beast. but when Squall began to tear away, his sinuses were stabbed with pain at the smell of blood, and his gift of sensing life wasn't such a gift anymore. When the animal was dead, it would dull down, but right now the blood caused him to stagger backwards Luckily the animal was about to lose it balance, and Kaden pushed through the discomfort to give one final shove that knocked it down. If Squall hadn't been ripping it up though it would have taken more effort, so he didn't mind so much. He ran to the fron of the fallen mother, and tried to get his jaws around it neck.

Kaden immeadiately looked to the wolf who had been injured. He walked over to her, the buffallo dead behind him. He guessed that would make him useful, the fact that he knew when his prey was dead. Its life had floated away quickly, though he felt bad for it because it had only been defending it child. The baby buffallo was safe in its pack, that at least lightened the weight on his heart. He looked down at Mawla, a beautiful female so beaten that blood from her mouth graced the ground with its moisture. Her life was quivering, clearly in the balance. He waited for Squall to get near, so he could watch and feel her health be restored.

[lythiumjinn09]

Squall rushed to the female's side, feelings aside he assessed the damage of the she wolf. Walking away from her and over to a bush he pawed at some unique flowers he picked them up with his mouth and placed them in front of the injured wolf. "Eat." he said noble like. He looked to Nevar, "Do you know this wolf Sir?" he questioned his Alpha. "These plants will help aid in the relief of pain, and these they;ll help you stand and walk until we get you to where you are going." He said to the injured wolf. He looked back to Nevar, "She has lost a lot of blood Sir, these plants can help but she needs rest, and well I don't know where she comes from, but if we leave her out here she'll die." he said.

"You're gonna be alright, just do as I say with these plants." he said to her, he nudge her softly to her know he was there.

[Snow]

Nevar soon lift himself up as he heard the female's voice, the feelings soon took over as a pain rush through his body. Her emotions lost, confused, painful. Nevar's body began to have a spasm as the pain ran threw his veins, into his brain. He sneezes a few times as he uses his paws to get rid of the pain. "Mawla, this is Nevar do what he says… Please." He tries to say as the pain still ran through him. He walks a few feet away, as he tries to control himself. He looks to Squall and then to Kaden, finally the pain soon stopped and he stood up tall. "We will bring her to our den's, until she heals fully. Squall, help me bring this meat to the den sight. We will need it for later. Kaden, take Mawla to the dens and await for us. Try to get her to eat the plant while we are gone as well." Nevar says as he tries to act like an alpha in the situation that brought him sorrow. He looks to Squall, "Let's go…" as he walks over to the dead buffalo. Its sad when one creature must die to protect something it loves.
You question, if you die saving someone. If that someone will create good use of their second chance at life.

[Mawla]

Mawla's body quivered as she lifted her head to eat the flowers. It took a few attempts, but she did get them. They tasted sweet, and she knew they would help by the taste, but she put her head back down. She felt so weak. "N-No... Nevar..." She whispered after him, but knew it was too late, and that he was already gone. She whispered a 'thank you' to the other wolf as well, as he walked away with Nevar. She couldn't see well at this point, but she knew there was someone else with her, and she was thankful she would not be left here to die. She got a very good vibe from this wolf and let her eyes shut, knowing he wouldn't hurt her.

The vibe she received from him was very good. She liked the way his presence made her feel, and she almost forgot about dying. He himself made her feel alive. Perhaps it had to do with his power?
She smiled and opened her eyes, "Y-you... you're very powerful."
Her voice was small and weak, and the pain overtook her again, and she shrank into the ground, whining. [/color]

[lythiumjinn09]

"So Mawla is your name? Beautiful." He said before he trotted off, "Trust me kid, you'll be fine." He finished with a smile and trotted beside Nevar. "Sir she's gonna be fine, don't worry. You have my word." he said with confidence.

[Talen]

((New thread once Mawla starts walking))

Kaden agreed to Nevar's request. He watched as the female known as Mawla ate her flowers without him having to even ask. He sat next to her patiently, waiting for her to feel a little better before they started to move. He didn't know how long it would take for the flowers to start helping.

Kaden didn't consider himself powerful. He didn't know why she said it. "When you start to feel al ittle better, let me know and we'll start walking." He spoke kindly as to not rush her.
