The thick trees around you seem confusing and cause you to go deeper into unfamiliar woods. Birds chatter above you, and the forest appears at ease. The path below your paws is worn down, showing signs of a pack nearby that has been traveling back and forth on it. Before you can listen for other sounds a soft growl comes from the bushes to your right. Hiding in the shadows bright green eyes pierce back at your and a femme voice asks, "Friend or foe? It is your choice how this goes down."
Trying to take a step back you bump into another figure that managed to get behind you. Blue eyes stare you down as the ashen coat of the other wolf makes you wonder how you missed his hiding spot. The female wolf moves out from the shadows, the deep gray of her coat being shaken off the dirt from her hiding spot. You realize then you hadn't answered the question, instead trying to keep your eye on the two guards that have caught you on the edge of their territory.
"Friend! I got turned around and missed the marking." you finally manage to say.
The gray wolf looks you over, taking inventory of you and your scent before giving a nod. The ashen wolf behind you seems to instantly relax and what was once a scary presence is now radiating a friendly aura. Without another word the gray wolf moves back into the woods, disappearing among the shadows once more. The ashen wolf moves in front of you and plays bows in an attempt to ease you.
"Hello, new friend. My name is Helios, and that was my sister Lusia. Welcome to our home!" He then gets up and leads you further into the pack den.
You give a nod and look around as you are led to the center of the pack territory. Pups are playing and practicing being overlooked by multiple babysitters in with different amounts of amusement at their antics. Actively playing with the pups is a big white wolf with a black streak running down his back. Turning you note the hunting party is taking inventory of their recent kills. Their playful banter together shows just how well and how long the team has been working together. Off to the side is a lilac wolf with many different markings training quartz-colored youth on the difference between different herbs. The older of the two watch your approach carefully as Helios leads you to who you assume is the pack alpha.
Sitting at the top of a hill is a deep gray wolf with a black back and a white cross between her eyes. She is watching the pups play, but her attention is turned on seeing her son return from his post. She sits up a bit straight and also gives the same careful look over the Lusia first gave you. Her disposition easily relaxes when Helios gives a playful bark at his mother before he introduces you.
"New friend, this is my mother and alpha Alvias. Mother, we found this wolf a bit lost on our borders."
Alvias gives a friendly nod and comes down from her hill. Once she is closer she nods over to the pill of meat stacking up from the pack's hunting trips.
"Sit and have a meal. Maybe tell us a bit about your travels. When you are ready to travel back I will have Helios help you return to your home." Her voice is soothing and you think you will be alright to pause for a little before returning home.
