Shadow Runners
The territory in which you have entered is very dark the trees cover almost every bit of light, The ground is worn down from multiple paws, The brush is thick and dense almost like a natural border, And the area is eerie in silence other then the faint animals outside the border of the brush. A cave ahead is covered by thick vines and rocks pushed in the way of the entrance making the entrance smaller and harder to get into, In fact it looks almost like the mouth of a snake, Another cave slightly off to the left by a few feet is covered in actual heavy leaves over the entrance it was where they stored the sick, And a third cave off to the right of the snake looking cave the third cave having branches to cover its entrance and logs in front of it this was for pups since they would struggle to escape a cave with logs in front of it, However before you can take a step towards the caves you get the feeling you are being watched and turning around you see angry golden eyes staring you down from the darkness... The wolf those eyes belong to is baring teeth, Fur standing, Ears pinned, He is ready to kill... His size alone is intimidating hes HUGE a hulking behemoth compared to a normal wolf hes at a height of 6'2 standing on all fours and his body is bulky with raw muscles from hunting his fur is darker then the night sky, His fur is thick and smooth clearly cared for, His teeth look like they'd snap the neck of a buck with to much ease however right when this male is about to lunge a sudden voice rings out its female and its deep but with a soft smoothness to it calling out "MARKOS!" which causes the male to flinch and slowly turn to look to his left behind him where a female slowly approaches she is also black but with bright green eyes, Her ears are sharply pointed, Her body is more lanky and built for running as she was half this behemoths size however she was also tall at 6ft even on all fours it was like this pack was black dire-wolves almost, As he spoke in a deep and monotone but clearly angry manner "WHAT?" this however didn't go over well with the female as her eyes narrowed making him seem to hesitate before he spoke a bit lower "...They are trespassing" he murmured as if in trouble making her huff "They may just be here to look around.. Talk... Trade... You cant just attack them" This however didn't sit well with him as he looked over at her seeming to ignore you "And why not?" This made her just sigh "Well because if you killed them for nothing you'd be setting a very shitty example for your pups" This made him just slowly relax and back away letting the female come up though he was constantly behind her like a behemoth shadow of death as she spoke with a bit of a happy tone "We enjoy guests.... Don't mind Markos... Hes just protecting the area we aren't exactly a pack that wants conflict... We are passive hunters and traders... We are the Shadow Runners" She stated quite proud as they were a pretty well known pack every wolf was black at least the ones that hunted, Scouted, Fought and such and they always came at night as she gave a sudden charming smile to you "My name is Zorrow... I am the alpha here... And mean and lean back there is my mate Markos... You aren't allowed in the cave but if you ever need anything Markos will always see you if you come here... So please stop by if you want to trade or anything! For now though... I would prefer if you leave...." She had a sudden amused smirk as she half glanced to Markos "We were just about to get very busy with... Grooming" She turns disregarding you to let you leave while Markos very slowly escorted her away into the cave but his look to you before leaving indicated that you probably didn't want to cause a fight with them... And certainly not him.
You've returned, A bit wary of Markos this time around however things are much calmer this being due to the pack isn't just settling they are much more set up and expanded, The caves more defined, The brush border bigger and lined with logs and spiked sticks wrapped in thorny vines with only a single way in and out that is a section of the brush without thorns this is actually where you encounter a newer wolf his name is Brute and he isn't as big or tall as Markos or Zorrow but he makes up for it with muscle hes not black in color either he stands outside the brush border and upon you approaching he briefly bares fangs until noticing your scent and remembering you as friendly he nudges his nose towards the part of the brush on his left it looks as solid as the rest but its the only spot big enough for wolves to fit through and its the only spot where vines, thorns and logs aren't ran through making it an invisible door... You push through and inside Zorrow is there actually outside with two pups both back in color a little boy and a little girl very clearly just weened and able to come outside for the first time, Zorrow is currently overseeing a lot of projects as she is watching her herbalist learn medicines, Sending scouts out, She has a hunting party of 5 now that has recently returned and is resting in fact Markos being laid beside her is grooming blood from his snout since hes the finisher in the hunters, When you approach Markos almost instantly locks eyes onto you making you feel like you walk with borrowed time though you get the hint... Don't get to close to his pups... So you stop a few feet away as Zorrow gives you a kind smile despite her very clearly blood thirsty mate staring you down out of her sight "I see you've returned... Yes its been some time we have been getting set up here after moving... Since you've returned you must live around here... So how about some neighborly kindness? Once a day if I have excess I`ll be selling medicines... Though you know how trading works public ones aren't around long so it might go quickly... However since you like to visit and I like visitors if you ever need medicine just send me a message bird and IF I have the medicine in excess I might give you a nice private trade in exchange for amusement items like bones and things..." She gave a kind smile which briefly faded into a more worried look and then back to kind as she was clearly hiding something but was putting up a good side... You got the hint from Markos's expression behind her though... Go away... And so after a brief chat with Zorrow you excuse yourself and leave... Its a nice territory though.
