the earth lumbers on

First post back lol

She was grateful Shadow accepted her back into the pack, Sveta left because wanderlust drew her away from her home once more. But this time, this time, the female was sure to stay. Noctisardor Bypass had proved to be her home once, and it would prove to be her home once more. Paarthurnax, Shadow's mate was no longer here and though curiosity tugged at her, the northern female did not ask, knowing it might be a painful subject for her leader. And she did not want to ruin her chances in the Bypass once more.

Sveta had devoted herself to hunting for the pack ever since she came back, and she patrolled the borders daily, knowing in winter, loners would do anything to survive. Steal from pack caches, eat carrion and lots more. But no one was going to steal the prey that the wolves of the Bypass worked so hard to catch on her watch, not while she was here. The northern female had not interact with anyone but Shadow since her return, scared they might call her a traitor.

But when Shadow's howl rang through the air, calling for the entire pack, Sveta came, this was the time to prove herself once more.

Strange scents wafted towards her, and when she caught sight of them, she did not know what to make of them. They were wolflike yet they were not and their scent was horrible, the northerner had never scented them before. But she heard them from her mother's stories, they were dogs. Lesser creatures of wolves. They were smaller, scrawnier and obviously malnourished.

Sveta took in the sight before her, and noticed a dog charging towards the female next to Flash and immediately took off. Not that she thought the female was incapable of taking care of herself, but it seems the only logical choice at that moment. She raced as fast as she could towards the pair, seemingly trying to push all her weight onto the dog creature who was attacking the silver female packmate, but at the last moment, she ducked her head, snapping at Reaper's left forelimb, aiming to injure it severely.

Mercy was not in her vocabulary when defending her home.
