[atrb=background,http://i41.tinypic.com/aes6k1.png] The moon bathed the earth in it's ethereal glow, flooding the entrance of the cave along with it. Wind rattled tree branches, as if demanding their leaves to fall. All else was quiet on Skyla terrain, for once. Everything was almost peaceful. Almost. Senna lay inside her cave behind the rushing falls upon her bed of soft grass and moss, her bulging sides raised up and down in quick motions as she slumbered. Her opakti sat up awake. Watching, listening. During the time of her pregnancy, he was growing more and more protective of her, more wise of what and what not to do or say. Much like a guardian was supposed to behave. It took a few years, but both were satisfied in earning the trust in one another. He grew into a more fitting opakti for his master, and though she was seen him grow up, now it was time to concentrate on another life. The life that dwelled within her, that she nurtured and cared for weeks. She received much attention during this time, though the strong female never really gave much for such royal treatment. Although she would've gave up her life, and even the ones inside her if a battle arose, thankfully nothing of the sort happened. Eyelids slowly drew open, while her parted jaws drew in a supply of air, yawning. Taro released a short rumble through his chest, just to let her know he was here, right by her side if she aquired anything. The rest of her family were not in the cave with her at the time. Her mate was probably off patrolling, while her son and daughter.. well. They also ran off to do they're own thing. They were getting older now. It was to be expected. The dark queen lifted herself off the ground with some difficulty-she was quiet heavy now, and it was obvious that she would go into labor any day now. "Did you sleep well..?" The jackals voice cooed softly, slouching forward to look over her large abdomen. I keep waking up, Taro.. it's too hard to sleep like this. It was uncomfortable at times, especially when she rested, to feel the kicks and churns of the brood within her. She would expects more sleepless nights after the pups were born as well. As she stood there, she couldn't help but look to her stomach, wondering what to expect. How many, what genders, what personalities.. every question flooded her brain, like it had so many times before. Taro simply pressed his nose against her shoulder to try and comfort her, when suddenly, an agonizing pain rippled throughout her being. Her muscles tensed, ivories clenched-everything just ceased to move. Everything else ceased to exist. Senna could only feel pain, and all she could do, was stand there, body tense, and stomach churning. "Senna..what is it?" The opakti called out her name, not really thinking that anything horribly wrong. Then, he saw the expression of her face. It was the most pained expression he had ever set eyes on. Everything was crystal clear now-it was time. Senna was in labor. Senna finally lowered herself back onto her bed of vegetation, her breathing growing more ragged. Her whole body ached as she growled savagely during the process, while Taro stuck to her side, softly whimpering. It was obvious that he didn't know what to do, and she didn't blame him. But right now, she didn't need his emotions flooding her mind. She needed her family-she needed Kaija. "Taro.. fetch Kaija.. Run to him, and bring him to me." Her hushed, shallow voice begged the jackal. Taro didn't even stay another moment, as he bolted out through the entrance to find her partner, howling as he did so. She was alone, and in great pain. No battle could make her feel like this. She knew that was the cost of something so precious as creating life. A blood curdling cry ripped from her throat as another contraction shot through her body, her lips pulling back as her face cringed. Through all of this, there was only one name that rang clearly through her mind. Kaija.. [ooc;; No worries, there will be no details of the birth-just going to time skip when it happens. ;3 Just the Skyla pack members here, and Sennas family!]

[atrb=background,http://i41.tinypic.com/aes6k1.png] While on her patrol cinder could not help but smile knowing that she was back on her alphess's good side and that traitor was gone for good but deep down there was nothing she could do to get her daughter into the pack especially with Senna already cracking down on the few members there were already. this had been her third patrol in a twenty-four hour period but she knew the dark demented fae had her reasons for being so careful after all she was carrying another litter of pups and they would be the new heirs of the pack or at least they were the alpha pair's offspring not that ment they could get away with more then anyone else. Just then she over-heard something she never thought she'd hear coming from the dark alphess. a very loud cry of pain and without a second thought cinder abandoned her patrol and rushed toward the alpha's den to check in on her leader. she only prayed that nothing bad was happening and the sight that met her eyes when she arrived sort of relaxed her but also alarmed her as well. Senna was in labor and kajia was no where in sight but neither was senna's creature so she could only assume she had sent for her mate. she slowly made her way into the den her body low to the ground in an undeniable show of respect but the look in her eyes was one of concern after all she had never seen her alphess in this much pain before. she spoke up in a hushed tone which also laced with concern as well. "My queen..." She wanted to move closer but she knew it was not her place to be beside senna that right was reserved for her mate after all they were his pups as well. Sure cinder herself had gone though this alone but she was lucky to have one pup survive and now that pup was almost full grown. She whimpered softly waiting for any instruction to come from her alphess. She would do anything that she asked of her at that moment.

[atrb=background,http://i41.tinypic.com/aes6k1.png] As she lay in agony, she worried that Taro would not get to the king in time, and he would miss the birth. She remembered the last time, he sat so protectively outside the circle of trees she gave birth in last time. He had been by her side that entire day, it was hard not for him to miss it. But now was different. She didn't even expect to give birth this late at night. She thought at least her pups would come into the world tomorrow, or the day after. A sharp, pang of pain shot though her sides again, any making her worry more about her mate being there. Then, there were footsteps, inching closer to the den. Kaija. Her mind instantly echoed his name again, but as the wolf entered behind the crashing waterfall, it was clear that it was not her beloved partner. Her primal instincts kicked in overdrive, snarling savagely at the wolf entering the den. This mother would not let any harm come over her pups. Not now. Once she realized who it was, she eased, but only slightly. It was Cinder..not a Skyla wolf that was at the top of her list, but it was someone. She would have wanted a shamen, or alpha.. but this was it. Although, Senna somehow managed to tolerate her, she was still not giving her full trust. That had been lost, and the alphess found it hard to give her complete trust in anyone a second time. 'My Queen,' The dame murmured softly, lowering her body close to the ground in respect. Senna did not respond at first, focusing on controlling her breathing, and stress. She wasn't sure how she would manage that, since Cinder was whimpering a few feet away from her. If she was in a better state, she would have snapped at her for being so close. Unfortunately, she didn't have much of a choice in the matter. Cinder was the only help she would have until Kaija and Taro arrived. But.. what exactly could Cinder do to help? She couldn't take away the pain of labor, she couldn't ease her worries of her mate. Senna didn't know if she could do anything for her-except one thing. "Cinder.. the least you can do is stop whimpering. All I ask of you is to stay quiet, and you may keep me company for the time being." Her voice was rasped from the previous growling and constant panting. Her whole body ached, and she didn't know how much longer the little ones would remain within her. It would only be a matter of time, and more Skyla heir would enter the world.

[atrb=background,http://i41.tinypic.com/aes6k1.png] "Cinder.. the least you can do is stop whimpering. All I ask of you is to stay quiet, and you may keep me company for the time being." She instantly settled down after hearing her alphess's words. but she could not stop herself from wondering where the hell the others were after all she was a warrior not a care giver, This territory was completely new to the mexican fae and she had no idea what to expect and things just seemed to keep getting weirder as a shrill voice suddenly made its self known, "So this is a mighty skyla warrior? What a truly pathetic sight indeed" , She looked around for the source of the voice and strangely enough she saw nothing and her alphess seemingly hadn't heard a word of it which was good yet weird at the same time. "Still can't find me i see, maybe i should reveal myself then..then again maybe not" after that a small evil giggling rang through the fae's head causing her to get annoyed, What ever this thing was it was just toying with her?! like she was just some pup!?, she quickly shook her head as she rose to her paws looking around the den once more only this time she was making sure to take in everything there was to be seen but the whole time the voice was taunting her. not there...Not there either.., thats when she felt something drop down onto her back and she glanced backward to see a big brown bat on her back. She shook the beast off and onto the floor but as she went to take a step toward it the voice sparked up once more. "Halt you fool!, i'm here to help you that is if you can get that through that thick skull of yours, My name is Myia" The bat spat in an ill-manored tone as she stared at the fae before her, even though she was outsized and out-classed this bat would not go down without a fight, Cinder paused for a moment as she tilted her head to one side then the other trying to understand what was going on.

[atrb=background,http://i41.tinypic.com/aes6k1.png] Finally, the alphas company became more at ease. It made her feel slightly the same, if only for a moment. The she-wolf was still in labor, and there was nothing she nor Cinder could do about it. Senna focused more on her breathing, not realizing what Cinder was doing the entire time. Although Kaija, nor any of her family were present, the dark queen couldn't wait it out. If they came before them, then that was all she could do. Of course, she would be slightly disappointed, the sight of the new skyla warriors would bring her heart joy. They would be the new hope of Skyla. The future generation.. a brighter future. The leader looked over to her pack mate, and was a little taken back by what she saw on her back. A brown, leather winged.. thing. It was a funny looking creature. Then again, she always thought bats were.. but why would it perch on Cinders back? Before she could comment, another sharp pain shot through her frame. Her ears flattened against her skull, knowing that it was time. A snarl ripped through her throat, a simple warning that it was time for Cinder to wait outside, stand guard-something away from her. [museless. :/]

[atrb=background,http://i41.tinypic.com/aes6k1.png] Cinder simply nodded as she heard her alphess's growl, it was not her place to be in the cave when the alphas pups came into this world, the only one who really should of been there was her mate but he had yet to arrive on the scene and the sad fact was that senna would not be able to wait much longer. The pups would be coming wither or not he was here or not. But it would make things easier if he was there to comfort her and besides they were his pups as much as they were hers. Cinder padded out of the cave following the bat of whom did not seem pleased to be forced out of what had seemed to be her home for quite sometime. She was drawn out of her musings as the bat circled over-head before swatting her on the head."Look, i may not know what its like to be a wolf but i do know what its like to be in labor, Shes going to need something to drink and shes in no shape to get it herself. Now you could be a wimp and let her mate do the honors or you could get some gravy points for taking care of her until he gets here, your move" Myia's voice screeched in her head which only served to anger the fae but she did have a valid point Senna would need something to drink and Kaija still wouldn't be there for quite sometime. But on the other hand Senna had just ordered her out of the cave. That's when she made up her mind she was going to take care of her alphess even if she got in trouble for it. "Fine, but let me make this clear, i'm doing it for my alphess not because you told me to" She scanned the area slowly taking in every single thing there was to be seen and it was not long before she spotted what she had been looking for. a small pitcher plant which was big enough to hold just enough water for senna but first she would have to prepare a place in the cave to set it so it wouldn't tip-over and spill out the water. She slowly turned around and padded back in and stopped a few inches away from her queen, as she piled three decent sized rocks in like a cone or cradle shape before padding back out to pick the plant. She held the plant under the falls just long enough to catch the water before placing it within the cradle. She didn't even wait for a response from her alphess she just padded back out of the cave following her alphess's orders once more. Cinder: Speech Myia: Speech

[Nemu]

Howls sounded off like alarms throughout the night, like repeated warnings that the new heirs were coming. The precious, new beginning of Skylas future. If they had anything like what Nemu had, then they would receieve a harsh reality when they grew.

Nemu listened, ears erect at her mothers minion, frantically howling for her father. She knew, though she couldn't speak his touge, what it all mean't. Her new siblings were arriving. The young wolf just lay there, unsure if she should run to her mothers side, or stay were she was. At least she felt.. safe, where she was. The queen could be wrathful, but the queen birthing must be much, much worse. She already felt her rage once upon a time, and that scar proved so. Nemu wasn't exactly excited to withstand another one of her vile punishments. Yet, the fea lifted herself off the ground anyways. Others were bound to be there, and it would seem spiteful if her mothers daughter did not show.

Lithe limbs carried the she wolf to the secretive cave of the higher ranked Skyla wolves with an uncertain mind. Nemu was already on her way, so there was no turning back now. Besides, she wasn't all that far from the den site anyways. The scent of another wolf was already flowing into her flared nostrils. It wasn't even her mothers, it was Cinders. This brought some reassurence to her mind. If her mom could let the presence of Cinder, then surely she'd allow Nemu's. So with that easing thought, Nemu carried onward, her gait quickening.

The rushing falls came into view, as well as well-known Cinder. The wolf had done many things to anger her alphas and pack mates, but through the punishments, lectures and cold stares, her mother allowed her near her while she gave birth. Nemu was only punished for defying her mother once, so if the older wolf could be her, she had to be welcomed too. She greeted the other with a nod of her head, slowly walking towards her. She could already her the painful scowling her mother was making. It.. almost made her feel ashamed for almost not coming when she heard the agonized alphess. Her heart pulled towards her mother, but her memories held her back. Maybe, if she just peeked in.. maybe it would be alright. She wouldn't stay by her, of course. She wasn't exactly too keen on watching the whole 'this-is-how-you-were-born' scene.

In a cautious manner, Nemu slowly poked her head inside the entrance, her bright optics searching for her mother. "Mom..?" She whispered in a gentle, but somewhat scared tone. Her eyes finally set on her body, just laying there in the dark. "Mom.." Her voice got a little horse after watching her in so much pain. She had never seen her so helpless, so fragile. She could see her head lift up slightly to get a clear view of her. Nemu didn't move. Her body, and evidently, her voice, felt like it was non-existent. Her jaw was just opened slightly, but nothing came out. All because she swore, she could see a hint of a smile on that demoness face of hers. Even if it was just a fracture of what a smile was supposed to be, it made it speechless and numb. Her own lips pulled upwards into a smile of her own. It was that very moment, that Nemu felt like she could forgive her for everything.

"I'm here mom.. I'm here." Her gentle voice cracked at some points, as she tried to contain the weeping that may come. She didn't understand why she got so emotional over such a petty thing as a smile from Senna. Whatever the reason, she was just glad she came. "I'll be outside waiting," She murmered joyfully before taking a few steps back, and walking towards Cinder.

[atrb=background,http://i41.tinypic.com/aes6k1.png] Cinder had obeyed her leaders command, and exited the cave with the bat in tow. Once again, she was left alone, to her unborn children, to her minds constant debates.. but the pain. Oh, that was by far the greater of the three. Oh, how cruel mother nature could be, to place this painful burden on a mother. It was unwelcome by the dark wolf, and she would certainly feel better when this was done and over with. Though she wished for her dear mate to be by her side, she now wanted the pups to take there first breath of life already. For this wretched pain that made her so fragile be gone. Between her panting and thoughts, she only noticed cinder stand close to her again, laying a pitcher plant filled with some water beside her, then leave as quickly as she had entered. A courteous gesture from the low ranked wolf. She was trying to redeem herself, Senna knew this. She supposed starting off slow would be the best way to do it. Her parched lips inched towards the flower, pink muscle slipping between them to taste the cool liquid. It was satisfactory for her dry mouth, at least for a moment. 'Mom..?' A hushed voice came from the entrance of the cave. She couldn't stand to see who it was, she needed to conserve her strength. The alphess lifted her head, only to see a young fea, almost a mirror image of herself. It was Nemu, with the most terrified facial expression. Senna realized how pitiful she must have looked, just laying there with large, heaving sides with every breath she took. The two were still not on the best speaking terms, but there was not a day that went by that the skyla leader did not think of her. Nemu was still her daughter, her flesh and blood. The wolf mustered up a small smile, showing that she was pleased with her appearance. The young wolf called out to her mother again, her voice more rasped than the last. Was she.. sobbing? She wasn't sure. It was dark, and she couldn't quite get a clear look at her daughters voice. But, as she talked more, her tone in her voice gave it away. The mother felt sorry for Nemu, having to see her like this, but glad at the same time for her comforting assurance. To think, it had only been a little over a year ago that she was giving birth to her and Amori. 'I'll be outside waiting.' She gave a slight nod, watching her leave the cave. To see her, after all the hardships, and silence from each other, giving Senna comfort.. a sense of pride and courage overwhelmed her. The leader born a litter of four before, she could do it again. With that thought, a finally pain overcame her, forcing her to push. [Time Skip!] The tired mother gazed tenderly at her two newborn pups. Two precious, little girls. They had there fathers colors, being lighter in hue. Kaija would be proud, even if they were not born male. As they nursed, her body curled around them instinctively, her tail laying over there tiny bodies. The alphess would nurture and love them, give them everything they need in life. Maybe, they would become high ranking Skyla wolves in the future. Her head now rested upon the moss, her sweet gaze saved for her two new additions while speaking to them softly. My little ones.. Your time will come."

[atrb=background,http://i41.tinypic.com/aes6k1.png] The fae returned to her guard position just outside of the cave, as she did she noticed that a pup slipped into the cave, a soft smile formed onto her muzzle when it dawned on her that that pup was none other then Nemu, It had been quite sometime sense she had laid her optics on one of senna's off~springs, but then something over took the usually bitter warrior and she started to draw something with her claw in the dirt in front of her. the picture started to take the shape of a small pup's head. Tears forming for the first time within the warrior's eyes as they then fell toward the ground. She was suddenly brought back to reality as she heard little paws making their way toward her, she quickly tried to destroy the image then shook the tears from her eyes though her fur around her optics remained damp from the tears. she promptly rose to her pads and glanced over at the pup with a faint smile on her snout. She was trying her best to hide the fact that what normally was a happy occasion had actually made her depressed. "Hello mis Nemu" Cinder said in a sweet tone as she watched her approch, she couldn't help but wonder why exactly only nemu had shown up when she was sure that her queen had let everyone in the area know that it was time for the future of skyla to be born. She and senna may of had their problems but even she had shown up to protect her queen in these trying times. Cinder: Speech Myia: Speech

[Nemu]

"Hello Miss Nemu."

Her pack mate warmly greeting her making a smile grace her features. She nodded in acknowledgment, something she had picked up from her mother. She rested back onto her haunches near the older fea, staring out over the vast land that she called home. She gazed at the in silence, for what seemed like an eternity, waiting for the alpha pain to be over with. Yet, as she stared out, she couldn't help but notice something. The land.. it felt rather empty. Where were the others? Why had they not shown up? This was a joyous occasion! The birth of another heir-the alphas flesh and blood. Why was it that two of the wolves that had taken punishment be the only ones here? It made her feel slightly irritated for the moment, but she knew that this was not the time to have such feelings. She had to stay cheery, for her mothers sake.

In attempt to shut out those thoughts, she cast her eyes away from the empty landscape, and down towards the ground. As she did so, she noticed something.. claw marks etched into the ground in front of Cinder. But, why? She looked to her, searching her face for answers. She was not a full grown wolf, but she knew there had to be something wrong. "Cinder.. We may not talk often, but if there is something bothering you, you can confide in me." Her young, silky voice was low, still taking consideration of her mother in the cave. Nemu wanted to let her know that she was here, and always would be for any Skyla wolf-no matter if she was just a yearling.

[atrb=background,http://i41.tinypic.com/aes6k1.png] "Cinder.. We may not talk often, but if there is something bothering you, you can confide in me." This actually brought the smile back to the fae's face as she glanced down at the pup before leaning over to give her a gentle nudge before turning her attention back to the sky, here this pup was speaking to her like a parent or an elder would it was kind of actually amusing to be exact but it couldn't keep her away from her true feelings and even though she didn't show it she knew deep down that she had most likely lost her place in the skyla for good, Senna was not a very forgiving alphess and her mate was even more cruel then she was but she didn't blame them for being so cold. for a moment the seasoned skyla warrior went out of the world and into her own, Her eyes glazed over as she relived the day that she had lost her best friend in the world, it was sometime before she had actually joined the skyla, they were on the run from none other then the two-legged humans when it happened, her best friend fell into one of their traps and despite all her might she couldn't get him out and they both knew the humans were on the way, Erik pleaded with her to leave, he told her that it would be to late to save anyone if she stayed, so with a heavy heart cinder ran away an-, she shook her head suddenly bringing her back to the real world. "I'm fine really, its nothing you need to concern yourself with young one" Cinder said as she gently ruffled the pup's head with her right paw, she looked around quickly with a small smile on her maw, it was more of a show to fool nemu as she leaned in slowly and whispered into the pup's ear. "Never forget we must always watch out for each other, thats what a pack is for" Cinder: Speech Myia: Speech

[Amori]

Amori travelled heavily, pads meeting the ground with harsh thuds as he galloped across the skyla lands. It seemed as though everyone had been awaiting the arrival of this day, himself included. And it had arrived. The bloodthirsty Skyla were to gain some new recruits.. in the form of helpless little bundles of needy fur. He wasn't sure why he was excited for this, the little brats would cause nothing but trouble for the pack in the upcoming months, especially since the pack alphas would be too busy caring for them, meaning more work for the lower ranked members, including himself.

Slowly, the peak of the skyla alphas secluded den came into view, set high up into the waterfall rocks. Trust his parents to pick the most dangerous, inaccesable place to be the new skyla heirs place of birth. Amori frowned up at the rocky cliff face, the crash of the falls echoing loudly in his ears. So, how was he meant to get up there?

Well, it had certainly taken some skill, and a certain lack off stability in his mind on his behalf, but Amori had finally managed it. Scaling up the side of the rocky cliff wasnt particularly his favourite of activities, but thankfully, the young male didnt often have to do it. He trotted onto the area of land just outside of the cave entrance, knowing that, if he wished to stay alive, he should not even consider entering, no matter how curious he was to know whether the next skyla generation had been born. However, the scene that he walked into certainly took him by surprise, it was something he definitely had not expected to see. Nemu and Cinder were both there, neither of which he had thought would turn up, and they appeared to be whispering about something.

Amori looked upon the pair with curiosity and suspision, sitting himself down a fair distance away from both, and asked What are you doing?
[done!]

[*~Ember~*]

Ember, Cinders daughter usually just hung out on the boarders, far from the pack. she never really was accepted into the pack, even though her mother ranked into there warrior division so she didnt really even know where she stood. as a lonely outsider or did she have some bit of pack membership to back her up? today however her mother had wandered away from her and she fear once again she may have lost her mother to a pack who may not accept her. her firey orb glinted as she moved closer to where her mother went although she had to be very independent mojority of her life she had become dependent on her mother love and company in the last few months. it wasnt long before the multi-colored creamy fae could see a group of wolves near a den. one of which was her mother although she wanted to bound right over.

lowered her self low to the ground tail tucked between her legs and her rose buds also lowered in a submissive way she moved closer cautiously. she was very capable of being just as visious and mean as any of these other wolves but she really wasnt in a position to be too, well assertive, or well she just didnt know how to be considering the lack of interaction. the whole ordeal was a little scary, and yet exciting. her addrenalin was pumping and she felt pumped but she restrained herself. speaking softly though so not to alarm the other two or anyothers who maybe around m-mom?... is it alright to come closer?

looking at the other two she could see they were around her age. perhaps if she had been apart of this pack when she was younger they may of been her friends? or play mates. she had so many questions but she didnt know where she stood.. maybe today she would find out?

[Nemu]

"I'm fine really, its nothing you need to concern yourself with young one"

Those words, added with her fur being ruffled made her feel.. downsized. Everyone still treated her like a child, even when she tried desperately to portray herself as an adult. Seemed like acting as a polite young lady towards the pack did little effect on others. They still looked upon her as that same ol' little pup that wandered around, getting into usual mischief. She still did, mind you, but at least she is able to hide it better than before. Before she could voice her opinion, a soft whisper befell her ears. Encouraging words, that perhaps Cinder did take her seriously. This brought a smile back to her black painted lips, nodding to show that she understood her.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh, Amori!" The young dame barked in excitement, sapphires eyeing her twin. It was strange to see the fea in a mood other than calm, or full of sorrow and shame. Quite honestly, she didn't expect to see herself like this on the birth of her new siblings, either. Things change, she supposed. It took time long enough, but she was able to forgive her mother for what she had done. Slender form lifted off the ground to greet her brother, but noticed the obvious expression on his face. He looked puzzled, as if he was questioning what she was doing. She glanced back to Cinder, then to her brother with a gentle smile before speaking. "Oh, don't worry about her. We were just talking about you.. Good thing we were whispering all this time." Her dulcet tones rang, though holding the hints of sarcasm in her voice. Other then that, she would never tell him anything otherwise to prove that she was joking. Nemu did, and always will live on to torment her brother so. Perhaps when her siblings came into the world, she would do the same with them. Nothing like 'sisterly love.'

All jokes aside, Nemus expression grew calmer, cerulean gaze turned to the tight fitting entrance of the cave. "Mom's in there," Her voice was but a whisper. The word 'mom' was not used in such a while, that it even rolled off her touge as something foreign. The past months, she grew to call her alpha, or nothing at all. To realize that they were suddenly on speaking terms.. it both frightened and excited her. When she was about to converse with her brother once more, a unknown voice interrupted her. Auds instantly piveted towards the direction of the soft voice, cerulean orbs shifting to the newcomer. This wolf had called Cinder her mother, and she had the faintest of the Skyla's scent. Not strong, but it was there. The female strangely looked around her age.. but how was that so? She did not remember seeing her as a whelp. She remembered Nicodemus, Amori, and her other two siblings that lost themselves to the winter.. but not this wolf.

The newcomer made Nemu curious as to what her name was, and how she did not meet her until. She would delve into the matter later, for when she was about to approach the young female, a pair of new, fresh scents flowed into her nostrils. They smelled strange to her.. could it be the newest additions had arrived? Being the curious dame that she was, she had to find out. Nemu gestured the others to follow her, wither they did or not, was up to them. Either way, she wanted to see them. As she entered the alphas den, the high-pitched squeaks from the newborns could be heard. It wasn't audible at all from outside with the roar of the waterfall, but now that she was getting closer, they became louder and louder. Noisy little things, pups were. Her mother lifted her gaze from her newborns, smiling tenderly at her eldest daughter before lifting her tail to show her new creations. Nemus eyes widened with wonder and awe-she had never seen any wolf so tiny before? Was this how she looked when she was born..? She was in disbelief as she gazed down at the two light pelted pups. They looked just like her father, Kaija. The wolfess felt slightly honored to be able to see them, knowing that her mother was making an exception today. It was a glorious night, where the pack could gaze upon the alpha's new daughters.. but after that, her mother would probably rip a head or two off for even trying to look at them.

[ooc;; everyone can go ahead and post, I'm going to wait for other reactions so I'll post with Senna then.]

[atrb=background,http://i41.tinypic.com/aes6k1.png] "What are you doing?" As the words came to her ears all cinder could do was shift her attention over to the one known as Amori. Before she could respond or say anything to the pup his sibling spoke up clearly poking fun at him once more. She simply smiled and shook her head back and forth playfully as she laughed softly.She was sure that he would know it wasn't true after all he knew his sister better then anyone. thats when she heard yet another voice. "m-mom?... is it alright to come closer?" "Of course dear, there is no need to fear your birth pack" She slowly glanced over at the male pup who still remained outside of the cave, She thought it was reckless for Nemu to just rush into the cave but she knew Senna would never harm one of her own pups unless they had done something wrong, She decided to humor Amori abit after all he was trying to follow in his father's pawprints. "Even if we do have such a deadly warrior right here" She winked over at her daughter before returning her attention to amori giving him a warm smile. The warrior fae had actually managed to calm herself down and she had accepted the fact that she would have to work her way back up in the skyla ranks, But there was one wolf that no one had seen for quite sometime and that was sparta, thats when the very scent came into the area, Cinder let out a savage snarl but didn't move from her position, She knew that sparta was loyal but didn't really have any love for the alpha's offsprings.

[Amori]

'Oh, Amori! Oh, don't worry about her. We were just talking about you.. Good thing we were whispering all this time.'

The yearling glared at his twin, suspicion etching into his features as his eyes swapped between the two females, unsure whether Nemu was winding him up or not. His sibling had never been the most serious of wolves, and her idea of funny comments were never the same as his, and Amori could recall more than one occasion where she had wound him to the point of cracking. The male snorted at her, the only retort he could think up on the spot without making a fool of himself, but distracted himself when Nemu pointed out that his mother was in the cave. Of course, he had already known this, but it drew him back down to earth. That the reason he was here was to attend the birth of the new Skyla brood. Not to get irritated by the presence of his litter-mate.

'm-mom?... is it alright to come closer?'

Who was this? Amori snapped his eyes around to observe the new comer. She smelt like the pack, but was unfamiliar to him. Who had she spoken to? Cinder? Cinder had a daughter? This sudden news was a shock, yet he hadnt really been paying much attention to the goings-ons of the pack recently, so if this new fae had come out of hiding from somewhere, it was no surprise that he knew nothing of it. The young male lowered his head, sniffing the air in her direction, watching the girl with slight tention in his body. He was waery of this stranger being so close to them, even if she was pack property.

'Of course dear, there is no need to fear your birth pack. Even if we do have such a deadly warrior right here.'

It took several long seconds before he realised that the warrior fae was referring to him, and his chest filled with pride at the sound of being called such a mighty name.. even if it perhaps wasnt particularly true. He looked around, suddenly realising that Nemu had disappeared into the cave. Was she crazy?! He though so, until the fresh scent of new offsprings greeted him. A childish excitement raised itself in his mind, but the Brute entered the cave with a lot more caution than his female twin, padding slowly towards his mother, ears twitching with nervous reaction, faintly catching the sound of Cinders growl outside but paying little attention as his eyes set upon the small, riggling bundles of helpless fur.

[*~Ember~*]

a small smirk crossed embers features when he mother made the remark about amori. his reaction was no doubtfully pridefull. she slinked shyly over the rest of the way to her mother and watched as nemu enter the cave where the slight sounds of wimpering and grunting could be heard. the alphess's new brood was here. as amori went to enter the cave ember couldnt help but peer around the corner to just have a small glance of the new borns. they sure were darling. there earth colored bodies matched there father and there helpless squirming was all just about the cutest thing she had ever seen.

a gentle smile unfolded but was interupted by a snarl from her mother flicking her thorns back her head joilted towards her mother wondering why during such a joyest moment she would make such an unhappy sound. as a breeze blew past ember she caught scent of another pack member, sparta. she knew from stories her mother told her he was something else... with these new pups and his previous behaviors with the alphess there could be a situation. although she was quite shy right now she was up for a little "fun" some chaos might be what she needs to open up a little. her firey eyes watch her mother then watched in the direction the brute would come from.

[Cinder]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][atrb=width,500,true]

[atrb=background,http://i41.tinypic.com/aes6k1.png] Cinder watched as the pups slowly made their way to see their mother and their new siblings, It kind of reminded her what it was like to be in Senna's place, the joy of knowing that you had just brought new lives into the world was so strong that it could move even the coldest of hearts, even Senna had to be effected by it in some form although she was skilled at hiding her true emotions. It wasn't long before the brute by the name of Sparta came walking though the area with an aura of mystery about him. That was one thing she did not like and she got a really uneasy feeling. At that point it didn't matter what problems she and the alphess had. Cinder got up to her pads and after sending a look to her daughter. That basically told her that she was to stay out of sight no matter what happened next. She sighed abit then shook her head as she sped into the cave to cut off the male from getting to the alphess and her new offsprings. She kinda figured that she would be the last one anyone would expect to come to the very same fae's defense that had almost ended her life sometime ago, Some could argue that cinder was just following her role as a warrior as she stepped in between the male and her alphess but the look in her orbs told a whole different story. Her and Senna's eyes met for a split second or she atleast glanced over at her alphess. There was nothing in her orbs but respect and admiration for the dark fae, even after she had put her though, The mexican fae was putting her life on the line and it was more then just to defend her alphess, She would never allow anyone to harm any innocent life while she still could draw a breathe. "What do you think your doing you ungrateful mutt, you think for one second that she cares for you, Not to long ago she called you worthless and tried to end your life or atleast badly injury you" The male spat as he watched the smaller step out to protect her alphess, Yes her alphess Sparta was about to lose everything and he knew it so it didn't matter what he did now, He was finally free to do what ever the hell he wanted. The one male that could really stop him at the moment was no where to be seen and Senna was to weak to prevent him from having his way with her, In his mind by the end of this not only would he of bred with Senna against her will but Cinder was a nice piece of tail as well, So it was decided that before his life ended he would ensure that his bloodline would carry on within these two faes either they liked it or not. "You really think you are just gonna come in here and sweet talk me into moving?, I do not blame Senna for what she did in fact, I deserved the beating i was going to get the only thing that stopped me from staying there was the fact the alpha's offsprings were in mortal danger" Cinder said as she stared the brute down as the fact of her alphess and her new borns were mere inches behind her, She wasn't speaking to try and redeem herself if anything she had just admitted that she did deserve what Senna had planned for her, No sane wolf had ever knowingly admitted to such a thing, "You want to get though to Senna then you go though me, This will be Our last dance either way so choose wisely" Cinder: Speech Myia: Speech Sparta=Speech

[*~Ember~*]

when ember saw her mothers glance she immediately hid. not the way her mother was hoping though she stay crouched in a stalking postion off to the side where she was just close enough to jump out if needed.

"What do you think your doing you ungrateful mutt, you think for one second that she cares for you, Not to long ago she called you worthless and tried to end your life or atleast badly injury you"

the elbony brutes words angered ember the creamy multicolored fae clintched her teeth tight. in reality her and the other two adolesents werent much smaller then the adults, so the three of them and her mother could surely fend off this fiend. this would need to be delt with quickly and maliciously. how delightful. she was sure the others amori, and nemu wouldnt allow her mother to fend off this male alone, so why couldnt she help aswell and earn a place with her birth pack. her elbony tiped thorns pick up her mothers words soon

"You really think you are just gonna come in here and sweet talk me into moving?, I do not blame Senna for what she did in fact, I deserved the beating i was going to get the only thing that stopped me from staying there was the fact the alpha's offsprings were in mortal danger"

"You want to get though to Senna then you go though me, This will be Our last dance either way so choose wisely"
by the way her mother said this you could tell she intended for this male to die at her paws or she would die trying. from the spot where she was at she shot a glance towards nemu. then made a nod towards the male hoping she would inform amori and they both would move to surround him, or stand behind or next to her mother and take a defensive stance. ember planned on moving behind the brute to catch him by surprise. looking around however a new plan perspired. sneaking away she moved up some rocks and made it behind the flow of water, when the time was right and her was directly below her she would leap atop him.

[Amori]

As awed and focused he may have been by his new siblings, it wasn't enough to keep Amori from noticing the commotion that seemed to be arriving outside. His ears flicked at the sound of a male voice, and at first, the yearling assumed it was that of his father. Until, that was, the hostility in the tone of conversation grew to his attention. That wasn't right. He flicked his gaze from the newborns to the yearling stood outside, who appeared to be trying to catch Nemu's attention, with frantic glances. That definitely wasn't right. The male breathed in, singling out the different scents until he was able to focus on one in particular. Sparta. Why would that scent alarm him so much? Sparta was a pack member. As far as Amori was aware, he was a trusted member the the Skyla. Yet, something still wasn't right. The tension and hostility in the air was.. unnerving.

'What do you think your doing you ungrateful mutt, you think for one second that she cares for you, Not to long ago she called you worthless and tried to end your life or atleast badly injury you'

'You really think you are just gonna come in here and sweet talk me into moving?, I do not blame Senna for what she did in fact, I deserved the beating i was going to get the only thing that stopped me from staying there was the fact the alpha's offsprings were in mortal danger. You want to get though to Senna then you go though me, This will be Our last dance either way so choose wisely'

The exchange in words between Cinder and Sparta did not sound friendly at all, and the mention of his mothers name bought all senses to attention. Sparta was not here for the arrival of the new heir. No, he was here for different reasons. Sparta was a threat. Amori growled softly, a low noise he used to gain Nemus attention. The pair were just yearlings, but they were almost, if not fully grown. They were capable of defending the territory of their parents. Especially if their family was under threat.

He turned his tail on his weakened mother and stalked outside, eyes falling onto the face of the enemy. His lip pulled back to reveal his canines as he stalked out of the cave, a snarl forming in his throat. I don't think your welcome here, Sparta. Our Alpha will be present within minutes. You should leave now, while you still have the chance.

[Nemu]

Curious eyes gazed in interest upon her newborn sisters, as her tired mother simply rested her head upon her outstretched paws. She gave a short, mumbling growl, just to let them all know that although she was permitting them to see her children, they were not to get too close. Nemu knew that, but oh, how she wanted to touch there soft pelts. Nemu was always a curious wolf, no matter the situation. The only exception was that this time, she would not cross her mother. She didn't want anything negative happening tonight. It was the Skylas day. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

Then, there was a sudden commotion.

Her crown darted upwards, the aggressively toned voices outside catching her immediate attention. Tearing herself away from the newborns and her fragile mother, the heiress walked outside to find Cinder staring down Sparta. But.. why? Even the new female wolf gave her desperate glances, as if she was asking for her help. She could not fathom what was going on though. This brute was one of Skylas very own.. why would Cinder wish him dead? She listened to their conversation, harsh words were the only blows exchanged thus far. The ways things were going, verbal blows would exchange to more physical ones. Judging by the scent that Sparta was throwing off.. was something she never inhaled before. It made her feel uneasy, as he looked upon Cinder with hungry eyes.

'I don't think your welcome here, Sparta. Our Alpha will be present within minutes. You should leave now, while you still have the chance.'

Her brother joined with his own threat, baring his ivories at the male. It wasn't long after that Nemu stepped forward, creating a line of three wolves against the brute, the other yearling vanishing behind the wall of water that roared down the rocky ledge. "I don't think I need to waste any of my threats on you, Sparta," She spat his name, not even knowing what reason she had to be so defensive against him. All she knew was that Sparta held a dangerous air around him, and she would not stand for it. Neither of them would. She held her head high, puffed out her chest, while her hackles raised. Nemu knew the odds were in their favor-four against one wolf. They could take him, even if he brought one down. Three others could easily gang up on him and strike him down.

But, no matter how brave she was, she still wished her mother and father were beside her, giving her advice, little pointers-anything. She did not know how to face a foe, that was her very own pack mate.

[Not the best.]

[atrb=background,http://i41.tinypic.com/aes6k1.png] I don't think your welcome here, Sparta. Our Alpha will be present within minutes. You should leave now, while you still have the chance. Cinder's thorns perked up hearing the voice but she did not take her eyes off of the male before her for even a second, She knew better and besides it wasn't like she would be able to convince the alphas off-springs to back down when their own mother was being threatened nor would she ever ask them to, They were doing exactly what they were suppose to and that's guarding their family. She could tell from the look on sparta's face that he wasn't exactly excited that he was now going to have to face a united front instead of just one fae, even if they were just yearlings a war vet like cinder and sparta knew never to take a wolf by their age or appearance. "I don't think I need to waste any of my threats on you, Sparta," Just as she had expected, Following the same suite as her brother the young future alphess joined the battle line, She wasn't exactly happy to be fighting with only yearlings to back her up but she had to work with what she had and Senna was to weak to fight and no one knew if their alpha would make it in time or if he was even on his way. She took a step forward toward sparta, motioning for the other two to step up next to her, The one thing that did concern her however is the fact that she had lost sight of her daughter, All she could do was hope that she wouldn't do anything reckless and get herself injured. "You all will regret this, Cinder is the traitor, Emily is the traitor, All i am trying to do is restore the Skyla name to its former glory! and it is far to easy to see the pack needs new leadership, Harsher leadership" Sparta snapped as he stared at the wolves before him, He truly believed what he was doing was in the best interest for the pack, even so he was not stupid enough to try and take on a battle~ hardened fae and two yearlings, Besides there was still one pup missing and that worried him, Sparta darted from the mouth of the cave and clear across the clearing, Rendering any ambush useless. "This isn't the last time you will see me, Heed my words, Skyla will fall and rise with a new more powerful leader!" With that the male darted off into the woods, before he could put his plan in motion he would have to neutralize one of his oldest rivals first. ~Sparta Flees~ Cinder: Speech Myia: Speech

[*~Ember~*]

a small growl emitted from her maw masked by the rawring waterfall. she was ready to pounce, but alas the brute wasnt stupid he knew he was out numbered and took off. a frustrated huff escaped her as she leap down off to the side her long multicolored pelt still frazzled and popping up from the insident. she felt pathetic. she should of just stood her ground and slowly advanced like the others, but by trying to ambush she looked like a coward. it looked as if she hid. the only one who would be happy with her would be her mother who told her to hide. what a great first impression... she thought to herself sarcastically. she was releaved sure the pups and her alphess were safe, but she was embarassed by how useless she was especially with her future alphas standing audiance fight aside what should of been her and her mother. atleast she seemingly showed respect to her mother.

emily how she disliked her real name she thought it was too girly she thought her mother was the only one who knew her by that name. but now they all would. it was a good thing she had fur because her cheeks were flustered with embarassment and frustaition. clintching her teeth tightly and flattening her rose thorns she moved next to her mother, and began mumbling when i get my teeth on him.... he could call her a traitor because it was obvious she wasnt she was just introduce to the pack and new just enough about there members to know her place, but to call her that.... name when your not even her mother or father......hmph... maybe when she was older with a mate or of some great elegant importance then just maybe she will take that girly name but right now she only wanted to be ember... rough and tough ready to get dirty ember... she after all planned on being a warrior like her mother.

she closed those firey amber colored eyes of hers and took a deep breath and simply waited for someone to say something about her disappearing, or worse call her emily. if one were to do so she just may bite off there ears then tell them they heard wrong and her name was ember. then if they continued to call her emily there voice box would go next... and what is a wolf with out there voice?


(im gonna play her off more as a tom boy then as she goes into full adult hood and learns some life lessons and becomes more interested in love she will begin to turn into more of a girly girl not too much though but shell drop her nic name or wont care if others call her emily more or less she will embrace it more)

[Katie/Kaija]

Huge paws pressed against the ground with deep thuds as the Brute padded through the thickly wooded terrain, a jet black raven souring silently above his head through the tree tops, only visible to Kaija since he knew the bird was there. A solid frost had settle across the Skyla territory as the weather had turned cold, causing the leaves on the floor to crunch audibly beneath the weight of the Brutes paws. The sight was something of nightmares, as the wolf was nothing short of a beast. With a muscular body, broad chest and eyes that glittered in the light of the moon, the Alpha of the Skyla pack was not one to be messed with. Especially not on a day like today.

Kaija had heard the howls of Sennas companion, Hanataro, a short while ago, and had not hesitated to drop what he was doing and head in that direction, leaving the half mutilated carcass of the dead deer behind. The birth of his offspring was much, much more important. Unfortunately, although the Brute had planned on sticking close to the den during the last few weeks of his mates pregnancy, the current hunger for food had led him to the complete opposite side of the territory, about as far away from the Den as he could possibly get without leaving the packlands. Gradually, he'd gotten closer and closer to his destination, all the while ordering Tamen, his companion flying above his head in the form of a black Raven, to keep his beady eyes out for the Jackel shaped Hanataro.

The scent of the pack slowly began to get stronger and sharper, until he was able to distinguish who was nearby and who was not. It became clear he was soon to be upon the Den, and would shortly be in the presence of his Alphess, and the newborns. Kaija had not yet come across the Jackal companion, but this did not concern him, for he had found where he was supposed to be. The Brute could tell that along side Senna, Nemu and Amori were around too, along with Cinder, and another unfamiliar scent. The presence of the unfamiliar scent worried Kaija, and he padded onto the scene with a low, territorial stance, letting out a soft warning growl as he cast his eyes across the wolves individually, stopping when they landed on the yearling wolf whom he did not recognize. Who is this? He demanded, turning his glare on the twins, and then Cinder.
[finished!]

[*~Ember~*]

lowerin herself submissively when she her the males voice. she shot her glance over slightly startled. stepping forward cautiously ears flat and her body lower she spoke up to who she knew was the alpha. Im cinders daughter... eh emily. she looked down as she mentioned her own name which she disliked but looked back up and quickly added i go by ember though... perferably...sir she found her throat dry and swallowing was hard. maybe she was being too bold or maybe not bold enough. she didnt know how to be here. she just wanted them to know she respected them and knew her place. she the silence was deathening. she promised herself if she would be welcomed to her birth pack she wouldnt be scarred again and this would be the scariest thing she would do, and everything else she would welcome with boldness, honor and bravery.

^{considering this was a delicate situation with new pups here then the sudden appearence a an unknown yearling could be stressful, but hopefully he would see she only seeked her family and didnt mean any harm. then again he could kill her... tear her apart leave her for dead... why couldnt she of been her from the start it wouldnt be so nerve racking...}[/center][/color][/sup]
