Redtail Rise Who run this mother?

This round ends May 30th!

The first to arrive was not Reek or Arion, as Saena expected. It wasn't even someone familiar. Smash emerged seemingly from the earth, though a second astonished glance revealed a hole dug into the ground, and sprang forward like some sort of brand new sprite. She was unlike any wolf Saena had ever seen, with a dark brown coat and even darker face and legs. What she desperately wanted to ask when Smash finished her introduction was, what's a grand poobah, but instead she said, "my body parts are a hot commodity lately," without even thinking about how stupid and/or vain that sounded.

Before she could properly introduce herself and figure out whether Smash was someone worth keeping around or not, others flooded onto the scene. Arion, Lacinia, Reek, and Wynter all arrived with the same concerned question on their lips, while Gunnar arrived along with an unfamiliar male wolf in silence. Her eyes lingered fretfully on each of their faces, though there was clear mistrust when they landed on each newbie, but until they were all assembled, she didn't answer them. She was just glad that none of them challenged her for her place as she'd half-expected them to do.

When things began to quiet down, she coughed lightly and seated herself to save some energy. Her wounds stung the whole way down. "Junior is gone," she announced sharply. "I was unable to find her. Her trail goes east, then disappears at a river. I don't believe she would've left without a word, but currently, I have no idea what's become of her." Saena would never allow herself to think the worst. There was no evidence of that.

"There are more pressing concerns." She let that hang ominously over them for a moment, then said, "I went to see my family at Redhawk Caldera. As some of you know, my dad lives there along with his kids and mate. I was invited to help one of the kids with Naturalism a while back and thought I would make good on that while I was in the area." Saena took a deep breath, willing down the animosity that was rising rapidly in her breast, and then told them, "when I arrived and called for him, his mate met me in his stead. Without any explanation she attacked me in an effort to kill me, but I got away from her. My dad didn't intervene. I've been in Blacktail Deer Plateau under the care of my aunt, a renowned Healer, ever since.

Prior to that, my dad, the Alpha male, attacked Reek for saving the life of one of his kids. I don't know what provoked these attacks, and I don't care." Her voice grew cold. "They have declared themselves enemies by attacking ours, and I will sentence them as they sentenced me if ever I see one of them here. Redhawk Caldera wolves, especially their leaders, will not come near our ridge. They will die before they get close." She wouldn't command her wolves to go out and kill other wolves, but Saena knew if she encountered any wolf from that pack in the north, she would make an attempt on their life, fighter or not. It was fair payment for her treatment, and it was all they deserved.

"That said, I don't want to give them a reason to come here. Their Alpha female is a psychopath with a death wish who would not hesitate to try to kill any of us for no reason whatsoever. She proved that. Henceforth, we—all of us—are prohibited from going anywhere near their pack, for your safety and all of ours."
