So much had gone on in so little time. She had gotten confused but also a bit scared. A huntress scared? That was a new one. Instead of letting fear absorb her, she covered it with anger and used it to advantage. New wolves joined the ongoing action and now things had been more hectic than ever. Before she knew it, Tael had been talking with her, telling her to group everyone up and that they were too exposed to spread out. "Copy that." she said, rushing off and trying to group up the wolves, knowing that most had been scared. But she had to group them up, it was best "Group up! We're stronger together!" she called out, looking around and realising the young wolf they had picked up was no where to be found Where is he? Did he get lost? she wondered, looking around. The markings around her face had activated and she began to look around, searching for Recruit.

It didnt take her long to finally spot the young wolf curled up on the ground and seeming to be shaking with fear. Deactivating her ability, she had gotten a nearby wolf and gave him the command of telling everyone to group up just as Tael had wanted "I'll be back." the She-wolf ran off in the direction of Recruit. "Pup!!!" she howled through the trees, running until she skitted to a stop, seeing her own enemy in front of her with its own baring fangs, it's glowing eyes. "We'll see how you fight against me you mutt!" she snapped, snarling and getting ready to attack. Just as she did, the power coming from the wolf had been unexpected and slammed her into a tree, causing a whine of pain to rush out of her lips. As she got back to her feet, the monster had tackled her, slashing its claws right against her back leg which made her snarl and fight back, shoving it off with the best of her ability.

With that, she ran, the wound on her back leg hurting like a bitch as she did so. She had to save Recruit. She had to. He was part of them despite his short time in the packs. Soon enough she found him "Recruit!" the wolf came up to him and nuzzled him, knowing he had still been alive "Get up, we need to go." she continued to nudge him, forcing him to his feet. Clara had been a bigger wolf, and she had the power to hold him if she had to. Even with her injured leg. Though she had been afraid she'd be too fast for him, so Clara grasped his scruff with her mouth and lifted him with her massive strength before running off with him, trying to get away from the enemy coming for her.

Seemingly out of no-where, he heard someone shouting for him, beckoning him over to them. He didn't know who - or even recognize the voice- but he still didn't get up. Instead, he tried to muster all the courage he had left. It was minimal, but he couldn't let himself be seen as the cowardly Recruit he knew himself to be.

Before he could get himself up, he was nudged by something. He didn't know what it was, but with the shouting voice begging him to get up, he could tell it-she was a wolf from the pack. At last, he was saved!

He began to get up, but was interrupted by the huntress. He was startled by the sudden jolt in direction from the huntress' attempt to carry recruit. "Ow- wait!" He yelped in concern.
"I-I can walk, can you p-please put me down?" Although he was thankful for the assistance of the huntress, being carried back to the pack seemed a little more embarrassing then walking, even with the tears still in his eyes. He certainly didn't want to continue burdening the huntress.

As Clara ran and held the young wolf in her jaw, despite his pleas to let him go, she didnt and spoke through her teeth. She had only put enough grip on his scruff just to carry him. Nothing more "I cant let you go. If I do, I can out run you. I would much rather not. We're under attack, and these things arent your average wolf." she was acting like a mother protecting her pup. Getting them out of danger. But in this case, these things were a lot more mystical than she even knew. A hell of a lot stronger too. The huntress continued to run, her leg hurting her with every step. She had to get back to the pack, there was no way she could fight on her own, Tael said it himself, they needed to group up and right now the two wolves werent grouped up. "Recruit, if I dont make it, I need you to keep running. Do you understand me?" if she couldnt make it, he should. He was young, she had been older. Despite her want to have pups of her own some day, her life might end before it could start. (even though she's like 3+ years XD)

Clara continued to run and she hopped over a fallen tree and landed on her feet, though her back leg giving her some trouble. When she didnt hear anything for the time being, she slowed to a stop and released Recruit, her chest puffing and deflating rapidly. "We're facing a massive threat, and I'm not sure if everyone had gotten away or not." she knew for a fact that Fuzen could take care of himself...Unless he got stuck in a trap again. Tael was an Alpha, so he had been strong too. "I'm sorry for picking you up as I did. If I hadnt, things might have gotten worse."

The pup returned to silence once he had gotten his answer. He had a feeling that something else was watching them- stalking them in the shadows. He did his best to stay as still as possible, but still began to look around in the small angle of movement the position allowed him. As the huntress described the situation, The worried recruit became silent and still. The words of the hunter rang in his ears, and shivers were sent up his spine. Things kept falling around him. And recruit could do nothing but stare.

Suddenly, he felt the floor beneath his paws. He had not been paying much attention to the world around him. He stumbled for a moment, but kept himself balanced afterwards.
He turned to the Huntress with a worried daze, hopping to think of some good news -or atleast a joke- to calm both himself and the huntress. But still , he found himself too invested in the situation then he did in reality. In this sense, he found words escape him. He only nodded in a scared silence as before. Once again, the worried recruit also failed to see the wound the huntress sustained in the conflict. His senses seemed nulled by the rush of slight adrenaline and panic.

(a bit glitched out... can't do much for spelling/ grammar errors. The site glitched on my comp.)

Tael parried a claw dripping of shadows with a sheet of ice. It splintered the ground, the cold temperatures too much for even the earth, and shot up to catch one of the beasts on their bony snout. The beast shot upward, a soft crack resounding from the blow, and when it landed ungraciously and slipped on more ice did Tael turn to strike the next beast that dared pass him. There were many and although he held pride as an Alpha, he had definitely bitten off more than he could chew. The camped wolves had yet to move, panic overriding his command, and with no Beta to aid him, he was forced to attempt to drive the twisted evil back. It seemed that if he managed to encase one beast in ice, freezing them in a thick cover of glassy winter, did another appear before him. The treeline was now an embankment of snow, mounds of frozen beast and tree standing as reminders that Tael's energy was running thin.

And with degrading energy came weak sheets of ice. The encasement of his power was not strong now, the beasts easily breaking from it. Thankfully, a handful remained frozen in place, but the numbers were still against his favor. Yet, despite knowing full well of his predicament, nothing quite prepared him for the massive beast that appeared from the treeline untouched by his cold. A creature that matched Charon's size, if not bigger, and it towered over him.

With a heavy limb it lashed out, and he quickly side-jumped. Claws skidded on wolf-made ice, he danced on it and twirled around to the beast's flank, snapping at the back legs, but the action was perhaps too languid. It spun back around, biting at his throat only to miss from a slip of he paw. Jaws ripped at his ears, grazed his forehead, and dug into his temple. Only when the mouth had made contact with his head did the creature spiral back, the radiating cold that pooled from Tael's body shocking the beast's mouth with a bone-chilling burn.

It's not enough. His emotions welled up within him, unease coloring his features, Luna, if the packs weren't here I could-I could... he barely missed a set of piercing claws and jagged fangs, I could set the whole place in an ice age. Yes, it would definitely do something, but he'd already wasted enough energy freezing the lake during a wildfire, aided in preventing the wildfire from spreading for a moment, battled heat, and was now trying to freeze abominations to death. The Ice Age would likely be a snow flurry.

Nevertheless... desperation readied the idea. The packs were strong, the wolves were strong, and even if there were a few casualt-... Dear Luna, no. He shook the idea from his mind, but before he could muster to strength to tap into the cold within him again to try at spearing the beast through and through, he heard it. A sound that trembled with such ferocity, such hate and anger, and raw emotion that it drew his fur on edge, made the icicles on his fur clink together as they trembled from the volume of that one sound.

The wolf of white turned, catching a flash of equal white with the stripe of gold, and he felt the grin split across his muzzle. Good, an Alpha was weak without their Beta. Yet noting prepared him for the sudden burst of energy that sprouted out from within Fuzen. The bolt shook in his bones, and made the ice beneath them crack. It lighted the clearing, obscured the sky into darkness, and lashed out with an ear-piercing screech.

When it was said and done, the beasts twitching from the voltage, he watched as Fuzen nearly collapsed. Not a surprise, he would have been worried if his Beta hadn't collapsed. Such a feat was surely exhausting, Luna, it made even him feel fatigued and sapped of remaining energy.

Without a word he sided Fuzen, testing the scent that came from him. Besides the foul odor of the beasts lingering on Fuzen's fur and the stench of blood, the electrical wolf seemed relatively well.

'' How was that, for a Beta ,,

Yes, Fuzen was fine. The very question drew an unexpected chuckle from him as he nudged Fuzen's head with a rather cold nose. "Hmm, it wasn't very immaculate, if you ask me, but for a Beta... it was... okay." The Alpha's muzzle split into a smile once more as his ears fanned out around them, "That was surprising, Fuzen. I may have a run for my rank after all if you keep this up, but are you well? Can you... move?" He asked the last with hesitance as he took to glancing around. Fuzen seemed to have rid the clearing of the beasts for the moment. "And have you seen the others? Etu, Talva, Virgo, Clara, Recruit, Yue, and Kyomi?" He listed the names off with urgency.
