Silverish mud plastered, under-fed, and completely exhausted fae let out another agonized cry. Fate had appeared at her side once more. The femme who had guided her away from that clearing ravaged by death. Brought her all the way here. Svel managed to get a few words out between gasps and agonized crys. "Thank you Fate. For everything." Her silverish sides heaved as the first pup was being born. Firelight was fast, she'd already summoned Kiki and gotten back. "Your as quick as me Firelight." Svel half smiled but gasped, breathing hard as the first pup was born. A small dusky brown femme. The pup wasn't moving.

Fireflight grinned, honored. Svel was a legend for her speed. Fireflight was amazed that she came close. It would be good to have Svel back -- the pack needed her, her friends missed her, and these days were growing darker.... Fireflight's heart stopped as her eyes laid upon the still pup. Bending down, she licked it vigorously. She sent up a silent prayer to Rhain for warmth. Come on....hang in there, little one! As if in reply, the rain evolved into a cool mist.

The figure of the miniature dusky femme remained still for many more moments. Then, thanks to the vigorous licking she was receiving from Firelight, a cough erupted from her tiny maw. The little pups sides heaved in an attempt to breathe. She managed, but her breathing was strained, for now. Her pelt was a dusky brown which would become a rich chocolate color with age.
The figure of Svel was heaving as the second pup was brought into the world. A miniature copy of his mother, the medium sized brute would one day follow in Svel's footsteps as a legend for his speed. Svel licked her second pup as Firelight attended to her first. They must not die, no matter that Svel was a first time mother or that the father was a killer, they must survive.
Svel groaned as her third and final pup was born. The last of her children was a small fae with ebony fur streaked with liquid silver. Svel pulled her daughter close and viciously licked the pup.
(Would you like a pup Sivvy?)

( Sure Thank you! ) Fireflight felt relief blaze in her heart. They're all alive! Oh thank you, Rhain, Wind, and Sky....woah....I wonder if they did that on purpose.... She continued to warm the pup as much as she could, lying down next to Svel to help the new mother. "Wow....how does it feel to be a mother?" She offered her packmate a friendly smile. I hope I'm a mother, too, someday...The sun peeked out from behind it's cloudy prison. It shined down upon the earth, causing the droplets of rain to sparkle with promise. Fireflight resisted the urge to yawn as the golden orb dappled her pelt with fiery light.

The dusky brown pup eventually began to breathe regularly. The little femme whined for milk. Staggering on tiny paws she bumped into Firelight's paw and whimpered. Shaking little crown trying to figure out where she could eat.
Svel groomed her two youngsters, glad that Firelight had the third. She sighed and nudged the two to her belly, where they could eat. Firelight would move the last to wards her when she was done grooming the little thing. She smiled somewhat to Firelight. "I don't know. I feel accomplished for myself, I've brought three healthy pups into the world. And I know that I will love them all equally. I just hope I can take care of them as good as some of the more experienced mothers." Svel watched her little pups. Then she glanced to the dusky brown female. "That one is Fyren (Fire-ee)." Svel smiled to Firelight.
(Which one would you like? Miniature Svel or ebony and silver fae? Or would you prefer Fyren.)

( Oh wow...uhh *thinks* You choose XD )
Fireflight nodded slightly. "It's a beautiful name, Svel." Fireflight couldn't help but feel as if she was floating on a fluffy cloud, away from all the sickness and turmoil that was her home forest. Fore one shimmering, priceless moment, she could see these three pups growing up, healthy and strong, and growing into neophytes that worked hard for their pack. She could see them as fierce warriors, true and loyal until the end. She could even see them with children of their own. A raindrop plopped down on her nose, shattering the fantasies she would die to make reality. The rain's going to be back soon... She sighed, rising slowly so she wouldn't move the pups. "We need to get them back to the camp -- they'll never make it out here." Or could they? She was hesitant, almost sure that going back to camp would mean sentencing them all to death. But out here...in the open plains? Anything could happen, more than just sickness....

(Hmm.*Thinking* Okay, how about you take the ebony and silver female? I don't have enough brute's or brown wolves anyway xD)
Fyren licked Firelight's paw. Then, too tired to bother with stumbling blindly around, the little pup curled up under Firelight's leg in a little ball. A yawn coming from her tiny maw.
The silver brute, Svel's exact likeness, was fumbling around for a moment. He bumped into his ebony silver sister once. Then the brute found what he was looking for and began to drink his mother's milk.
Svel looked to Firelight, to her pups, then in the direction of camp. Finally she looked back to Firelight and shook her head. "If we take them there they will surely all die of the sickness. Would it not be safer to find a den in the forest a little way from here and stay there until the sickness is not so strong?" Svel looked with worried eyes from one pup to the other. Suddenly realizing just how unsafe the world was for them.

Kiki raced into view her eyes wide, her ears chipped, and a large scratch stretching across her nose. She came to a screeching stop three feet from Svel and Fireflight. She was breathing heavily and a scar reached from her bottom ribs to her flank. Her eyes were flashing with anger and hate and hiss escaped her lips as she saw the pups had been born without her, they could have died, but they had all been born fine and she was happy... though happiness did not last long. "Fireflight!! There are rogues in our territory!! I saw them!! They took Morn!! Fireflight!! They took Morn!! There were two of them!! I tried to stop them!! The female and the male!! They tried to take me, Fireflight!! I just barely got away!!" blood was dripping from the scratch across her nose, and her heavy breathing shook the blood, coming from the scratch across her body, to the ground causing it to stain red. "They took a warrior, Fireflight!! She looked half dead!! They only didn't take me because they thought they had killed me!" No herbs were in her mouth, for she had lost them in the battle.

(Okay...do you want to name her or should I?)
Fireflight felt her heart tremble with glee as the young pup curled around her paw. Maybe someday....I'll have pups....be a mother....Her fuzzy, warm fantasies were shattered apart once more by a call of alarm from Kiki. Her copper eyes widened with momentary panic, but this cleared in an instant. "Kiki, I need you to get Svel and her pups to a secure den on our terra. I'm going to find the cats who think they can slay a Destinian!" She snarled, tone acidic with hatred. If only Euphrates were here...

A smudge of russet and crimson padded along the horizon, through the trees and lowering his head to graze the blades of grass that caressed the pads of his feet. Distracted yet focused at the same time, the wolf drifted in and out of reality with every step. For the first time in a long while, Euphrates was optomistic. For the first time in his entire life, Euphrates was daydreaming about a girl. He paused and let out a sickening cough, a small spurt of blood falling to the grass underpaw. But this still did not deter him... for spring fever had already taken its hold. He scented Fireflight nearby, and immediately snapped out of his fantasies.

As if it were a godsend, Fireflight's gaze rested on the distant form of Euphrates on the horizon. She glanced back at Kiki, nodded, then took off at a blazing sprint towards her packmate. "EUPHRATES! ROUGE ATTACK!" She barked across the plains, praying to Rhain he'd heard her. She switched courses, heading in the direction Kiki had arrived in. She didn't have time to do anything else -- if packless wolves were starting to pick off lone wanderers, they'd have to move fast. But fire is faster...

He sighed to himself. She's so... beautiful... ...no, wait... snap out of it, dimwit! She's trying to tell you something! Ears twitching, Euphrates listening closely... to hear the unexpected news of a rouge attack. ...nearby? Euphrates took off after Fireflight, following with his nose across the plains. He wouldn't let her go alone with him.

She sped through the plains, leaving Svel and Kiki and Euphrates behind. The tall grasses around her swooshed and swayed in the spring breeze, but they were nothing but a blur to her wolven gaze. Increasing in acceleration, she entered the woodlands. Her nose told her that the dangers were near...but where, exactly? A suprising sound met her ears : that of thundering pawsteps behind her. The pleasant aroma of a brute filled her senses, clouding her determination for a few beautiful moments. Euphrates! She shook her head to clear her thoughts, then focused back on the trail ahead.

Kiki called to Fireflight, though she was far off. She howled with all her might towards her. "Fireflight!!! YOU CAN'T GO ALONE!! THE ROGUES!! THEY'RE HUGE!! FIREFLIGHT THEY'RE MORE OF THEM!!!" she howled her voice could be heard for miles around. She shook her head, and was about to chase after her, but she remembered Svel and whipped her head towards her. "You heard her, Svel. Lets get you safe, and out of harms way." she said in a flat voice, she felt as though she had just let Fireflight off towards her death. She lifted one pup, hesistated, and noticed Fate. "Who are you?" she growled through the pups scruff.
Fate gave a smile of amusement at her hostility, and began to introduce herself. "I am Fate, friend of the lupus proeliaters of the packs, I wish no harm to you, I escorted Svel safely to Destinian land," she paused as Kiki showed no less hostility. "I do not lie, and noyone would be mousebrained enough to lie infront of which they speak," she flicked her tail towards Svel. Kiki nodded, and with more hesitation she set the pup, in her jaws, towards Fate who picked it up and waited to leave.
Kiki picked up the miniature Svel and placed the pup in front of Svel herself. "We'll be needed you to carry this pup to camp, you see: The pups are too to be carried in pairs, their skin is very fragile, and easily damaged." she explained why she was not carrying two. She, herself picked up the dusky brown femme, and awaited for the time to go.

Rolling onto her stomach Svel looked at Kiki. Femme shook her crown. "Not to camp. I will not put these helpless creatures into the eye of that disease." Svel looked around, it was plains for miles. She knew this place well, she'd ran across them and around them every night before pregnancy. "I know where there's an abandoned bager set, we'll take them there." Lowering her crown femme parted velvet maw to carefully take her son, her likeness, in her jaws. Raising her head again she glanced from one wolf to the other. From one daughter to the next. Then she began to half walk half jog across the plains. Paws heavy and she breathed with difficulty.
Fyren squirmed about in Kiki's jaws, whimpering pitifully. The scent of blood was in her nostrils. She didn't like it. Pup missed the warm scent of Firelight.
(You can name your puppy Siv.)
