The Journey Begins (private, me and Kit)
Orion sat as the sun began to rise above the horizon, washing the early Spring sky a pale purple with streaks of soft pink and swaying white clouds. The air was sweet and fresh as a gentle gust of wind float over the Northern lands, caressing the Alsatian's dark fur in its cool fingers, his dark amber eyes closing for a moment to enjoy the sensation.
Once the wind subsided, the stern-faced dog scoured the icy homeland once more, the view vast from his high pinnacle on the blue-and-white cliffs of the North. The golden rays began to stretch over the cold valley. It was time.
Getting to his paws, the soldier turned and stalked back down the precarious slope to the bottom of the cliffs. Once there, Orion jogged back to the clearing home, leaping through the forest and streams until he reached the river that separated the cave and bank from most of one side of the wood. Clearing it with ease, the large dog marched over to the cave and, entering, proceeded to wake the sleeping bodies that lay inside up with a nudge of his cold, black nose.
When he came to a young she-dog clad in pure white fur, he nudged extra hard, knowing it would take more than the others. Suddenly, even before he could rouse her, the animal flipped onto her back, wrapped her front legs around Orion's neck and pull him to the ground, biting his ear playfully. The Alsatian hot the stone floor of the cave with an 'oof' and lay pinned by the younger dog, her bright young face grinning down cheekily on him.
"You surely didn't think I'd forget what we're doing today, Orion," Rhea barked, "I've been waiting for it for practically my whole life, you know!"
Letting her prisoner free, the one-year-old husky pup sprinted out of the cave, breathing in the sweet Newleaf scents. It was today that she and her family were to leave to find her father in the North. She liked it here, of course, but a pup can get bored quickly, and a year was too long to have been hanging around the same wood. It was time for a change. Time for a journey.

Frostbite looked up at Orion and stood up. "Everyone needs to eat something before we leave. It's going to be a long journey." She said as she pushed out of the den.

Orion followed Frostbite out of the cave, dragging a couple of hares out for him and the malamute as Rhea began attacking Rain's deer.
Seren, larger and darker than his brother Rain, heaved himself onto his paws and marched out of the cave to join his family, pulling a chunk of meat out behind him.

Frostbite thanked Orion for the rabbit and began to eat. After she finished she stepped out of the den to her son."Hello son. You seem sad, why?" She nudged him gently. "I'm not sad," was the reply she got. With a chuckle she attempted to tackle her son playfully.

Once she was done, she walked over to the river the flowed around the clearing and stared into her reflection. Tilting her head to the side, the white dog managed to glance the small scars on the back of her head and neck inflicted on her by Splinter. Deep down, Rhea missed her brother, and felt guilty that he wasn't around. What if had been her fault he had ran away?
Orion finished his hare quickly alongside Seren and wlked outside to announce their leaving. "Come on, everybody! Let's move it! Have we all said goodbye to the old place?"
"I must admit, I will miss it," Seren admitted, looking back at the cave, "Though I suppose it won't be much to our Father's land when we reach it, will it? Still... It was a good little home, wasn't it..."

Rain ran after his mother, letting the pounding of his paws against the furious fill his ears. The steady beat kept his pace steady, the wind in his fur made him smile.

Rhea looked up and gave her trademark, cheeky little smile at Orion before following her family, with one last glance at the clearing over her shoulder, into the woods.
The young dog soon caught up with the rest of them soon and leaped onto Rain's back, "I'm surprised we even brought you," she teased, wrestling with her brother, "You'll only slow us down."

Frostbite slowed down next to Orion, her pace matching his. "I'm worried about my pups. They've been much more quiet since Splinter d-died, especially Rain." The Alphess said sadly with her eyes downcast.

Re: The Journey Begins (private, me and Kit)
The white-furred dog padded silently at the back looking around her as she walked along. Her eyes were gleaming with excitement at the path ahead, daydreaming about what her father's land was going to be like, what her father was like.
Orion sighed and shot a quick glance behind him at Rain. "That's only to be expected," he barked grimly, "They were brothers after all. Their all dealing with it in their own ways: Seren appears to be acting more and more adult, perhaps trying to compensate for the tragedy at hand. Rhea seems to be trying to move on and keep positive. But Rain won't let it go. He's hanging onto it as if Splinter might return. He needs to understand and except... death."

hear the conversation between Orion and Frostbite. He mumbled to himself about Splinter quietly before staying quiet. Soon he stood in front if Orion, trying to make him stop. "Splinter isn't dead. You left a living pup alone, cold and afraid. I can't forgive you for that, especially since he is my brother." The dog snapped at Orion's last sentences.

Rhea glared angrily at Rain. She hated him when he brought up Splinter; it only made everyone awkward and depressed, especially her mother. "Rain, stop it!" she snapped, trying to get her brother to shut up, "You don't know anything!"

Frostbite blocked at the name "Splinter" every time it was said. It was too much heartache for her. She kept from crying and held back bitter words as much as possible. "Enough about my lost pup." She howled in misery. "Isn't there anything else we can talk about!" Frostbite snapped angrily.

As the Alsatian had to step in Seren and Rhea's path as they tried to run angrily for their brother. After giving the pups a bite on his ear, they both retreated, glaring furiously at their brother's cruel insensitivity

Rhea still felt like giving her brother a snap or two. Nowadays he was much more subdued, and rarely shut up about Splinter whilst she and Seren had moved on. But, so as not to stir up more trouble, the white-furred dog gave him only a disapproving glare and looked away in frustration.

Rain blinked away his last tears and stood next to his sister. For a change the pup tried to be light hearted and he nudged his sister playfully. "I bet you can't catch me!" He smiled mischievously and dashed ahead.

Suddenly, a high, angry howl broke through the air, freezing Orion in his tracks. After looking at each of the family, he turned to Frostbite, eyes churning with adrenaline. "It's a Southern scout group," he barked in his hushed, gruff voice, "Hurry! We need to get to the lake so they lose our scent. Once there, it'll be easier to escape.

Frostbite shook her head and took up the book, making sure her pups made it.

"Not today, Seren," Came Orion's reply, pushing Seren roughly in the direction of the lake, "There are times to fight and times to run. This is a time to run."
Rhea wanted to kill the southerners too, but knew it would be a dumb idea. She sprinted after her mother and Rain, leaping into the lake and making the long swim across, followed by Seren and the two adults.

Re: The Journey Begins (private, me and Kit)
Seren reluctantly slid into the water and began to paddle strongly for the other side. He and Orion had only reached the half-way-point of the stretch of water when five or six dogs appeared on the bank the family had left from. They were all barking and calling at each other as their excitement built.
The grey pup soon reached the other side, feeling less confident than before, and found his family crouching in the reeds and joined them.
By the time Orion had followed the rest, the pursuing soldiers were making their way across the river. He crashed into the reeds and stood before the family, a simple yet effective plan formulating in his mind, "It's clear to me," he began, panting, "That we will have to fight this mutts after all. However, we can't take them on all at once. We need to split them up. So here's what we're going to do:
"Rhea, Rain and I will run off to the north-east, and Frostbite and Seren will go north-west. That way, those southern mongrels will be forced to split also, making their ranks weaker, thus easier to defeat. What do you think Frostbite?"

Before sprinting through the forest, the Alsatian told Frostbite that they would have to play it by ear and howl to the other if they were clear of their pursuers so they could find each other again. Then, without another word, Orion lead Rain and Rhea through the foliage as the last of the Southern soldiers pulled themselves out of the river and headed for the family.
