The cool water lapped at the shores of this mighty river. Upstream was a rapid torrent, the water frothing about into white foam and though it seemed shallow held far more to its depths.
"Uncle...." Said a tiny female voice from behind the 3 winters old brute.
"Yes Lana?" He said in a caring soothing tone.
"We Are hungry...can you get us..." The fea started as there was a loud splash and a spray of water...and then the sound of something flopping on the ground, a large brook trout lay on its side as the two pups, Lana the female and Amoro the male. Both just under a winter of age.
"Uncle *mucnch munch crunch* When Lana and I were playing over by the large trees *munch* We smelled other wolves!" Said Amoro as he ate the fish.
"Really? Did you see any of them?" Asked their Uncle.
"No we didn't." Said Amoro finishing up and drinking the water.
"Uncle Nedjo? Does this mean we have to leave again? Or?" The female seemed excited "DO WE GET TO HAVE A PACK!" she smiled with her fangs glistening.
"We shall see young ones... We shall see" Nedjo said with a comforting smile as he lay on the ground to rest for a moment.

Faith had been scouting the land, wanting to keep away from her brothers and the new pack that had moved in. She shivered slightly, the memory of the white fea that had spoken so crudly to her and then had chased her off was still fresh in her mind. The fea, who called herself Silence, had been just sitting there and had snapped at Faith almost as if she knew what Faith was going to ask. Silence had frightened her, she had almost seemed angry at the world for a reason Faith didn't dare ask. She had simply run away and now was walking, her breath comming in short pants and gasps. The northern most border was along the river whos opposite side marked her own home a long time ago. Now she had no home, and didn't want to join the new pack either if all the wolves were like that. She had thought of joining the Rouges and it seemed that it was the best choice for a wolf with her past. Then again, that pack had killed her birth pack and might kill her if they knew that she was one of the original pack. She didn't care much though, if she died she died and at least she would make the grass a little greener. She perked her ears as the sound of pups echoed from an area close by. Pups, at least they would be angry at her. It was either the mother of the father she feared, hopefully they would not catch her scent. Hopefully.

Nedjo had started to walk towards the brush towards the faint scents of the pack....there was something new in the air a new scent...a fae.....
Lana picked it up too and she howled as if asking to meet....
"Lana....hush now. " he said sternly yet kindly.
"We do not mean you any harm....I am only a humble guardian of two young pups, if this is your territory we will leave. " he said keeping his tail and head low as the pups stayed beneath him.

Faith almost laughed as the brute spoke, "My territory, ha. Far from it. I am just a loner." She sniffed him, trying to pick up any scent that would mark him as a Rouge. Catching the scent of Silence she laughed, "Why are you here, when you belong to the pack that is past this border?" She looked at the pups, "Gaurdian? Not father? Thats a little odd, they look like you." She wasn't afraid of this brute, no. He had pups, and like her brother was their gaurdian. Maybe he was left behind, maybe that fea had chased him off like Faith had been chased off. But then, why would the pups be with him still. She was still a little confused.

Nedjo had given a very awkard look of confusion. "What Pack would that be? I smell the scent of a pack not far off, but....I do not belong to a pack.." He said with such honesty that he could not have been lying.
"No I am not their father, their fater was killed a couple moon cycles ago. I am their Uncle." He said again with a saddened and yet confused tone remembering his brother.

Faith looked at him, "Well, I just ran into a grumpy fea whose scent is on you, and unless you and her fought or something then you belong to that pack. Hm, her name was uh." She paused, "Silence, I think. She ran me off the territory, and thats why I am out here. My birth pack was killed off, but I was a loner long before that happened." She was suprised at his sad tone and then spoke, "Why in the world are you sad that your brother died? I mean . . . my brother died and I don't really care. My pack died and the only thing that makes me sad is that I didn't die with them."

Nedjo again gave the confused look as she spoke of death...yet when she mentioned Silence...he cringed in pain....
"I...do not recall a Silence...or pack...but if you could please take me to her, or most wise their Alphas, I will be greatly in your debt. I will not let them harm you." He said before finishing.
"I am sad for my brother only because...I Do not know how he died...I just know he did." he said as he hushed the whimpering pups below him.

She shruged, "Sure, and scents don't lie so maybe you just bumped you head." She almost snarled when he said he would protect her but instead she just glared at him, "Three years I have lived alone, understand. I can fight, I can run. I fear black wolves, that is all. Just black wolves . . ." She almost zoned out but then snapped back into reality, "Well, however your brother died be glad that he made the earth greener." She looked down at the pups, almost wishing they were her own but knowing that would never happen. "I am sure that wolf is still sitting in the same spot she has been since she chased me off. She looked so, so. . . whats the word. So depressed. Almost as if she was dead." Faith gave a weak smile, "Thats the most horrid thing you know, to die but still be alive. Thats worse than death. Worse than not know who you are." She shook her head, "I almost feel sorry - almost."

Nedjo nodded. "Yes I understand you I was left by my birth pack when I fell Ill. Please..take me to her,or the alpha if he near , or if you know where he may be. And thank you."
"Thank you....may we ask your name?" Said Lana the fea. "I am Lana and this is my brother Amoro."
"And I am Nedjo, forgive me for not telling you my name." Nedjo said lowering his head to her.

Faith sighed, "I am just a loner, you don't need to know my name." She turned, "I travel a lot so I will probally be gone in a few weeks any way. Comon, I will take you all to Silence. I don't know where the others are, or how many their are. I just know that I am not wanted." She began to walk east, towards the lake. She made sure to stay by the rivers edge, letting it guide her. "She is at a cove, just staring at the water like she has gone mad. She probally is an elder or something, sure didn't run like one though. Maybe an omega . . . either way I didn't want to fight. Hopefully you will have better luck than me."
ooc;; Once Faith and Nedjo get to the cove I will make another topic in the cove.

"Perhaps" He said in a calm low tone as he follower her the pups not straying to far. Before they got to far he looked back to the pups.
"Lana, Amoro, I want you two to go play in that hollowed tree stump until I call for you. I will not be to far." He said kindly and licking both their heads.
"Aww...ok Uncle..." they said in unison as Nedjo turned back to follow the fae.

"Why did you make the pups wait?" Faith had broken the silence that had settled after they had left the pups, she knew it was still quite a ways until they got to the cove and she also knew that the Rouges didn't care about boundaries, and didn't care about the age of a wolf when they attacked. She feared for their saftey, but was still wondering whether or not Nedjo knew about this area, or if he feared that Silence would harm the pups.

"I want them to be safe....just in case... they are very good at Hide and Go Seek" he smirked as he continued to follow her.

"I would call them back if I were you, even if Silence is a threat I am pretty sure the threat of badgers and Rouges are far greater than she is. The Rouges don't pay any attention to boundaries, or age. They kill without blinking."

Nedjo realized he potential mistake and quickly called for the pups who came running and hiding right underneath him.
"Thank you...I should have realized that...I am new at being a Guardian" He said as the pups nipped at one another as he walked alongside the fae.
