Autumn has begun to settle on the Pack. The leaves are changing and prey is becoming more scarce. On top of that, it looks like there may be some trouble at the borders. Pack members are warned to stay on high alert when going into the territory, especially going alone.

It was a brisk day, and not for the first time, Blazing Sun was thankful for her thick coat. She sat atop the Meeting Rock, both soaking up the sun's rays and keeping a sharp eye out for trouble. The Pack may have been small, but that didn't mean things couldn't stir right under her nose. Her gaze flitted over the camp, back and forth and back and forth.

Frost Fang Male | Member | In Camp
He supposed it has been quite peaceful lately. Life went on, the days grew shorter and the world...it was just a little colder every sunset. Winter was coming, whether they liked it or not, it won't change. It won't be before long, the world would be blanketed in an icy cold blanket of snow. In actuality, Frost Fang may have preferred it that way, but it was common knowledge that the ice brought death and starvation. That in particular, wasn't something he wanted to experience again.
This year around, their pack was small, not dwindling but just a good size, and should be relatively easy to sustain. Or at least he'd prayed. The dark agouti husky watched his leader's eyes darted back and forth upon the camp. Usual business, he guessed before swiftly making his way around to the Meeting Rock. Before approaching, Frost Fang had made his presence known with a tap of his claws on the rock.
"It's calm, ain't it? 'lways calm before a storm." A low toned voice rumbled slowly as he settled himself a few tails away, staring down at the view Blazing Sun so often looked at. The height kind of irked him, but he didn't let it show.
The long furred dog walked into camp her long lanky body moving slowly as she held a rabbit in her long muzzle she had planned to eat it but wasn't feeling that well she often felt like this once getting done killing prey. Worm sighed placing the rabbit down at her cream colored paws she looked down at it she needed to eat, but didn't feel like she was hungry so she just looked at it.

•° Blazing Sun °• Wildwood Pack Commander • In Camp
Claws tapped upon the Meeting Rock, and Blazing Sun's ears pricked as her head swiveled around and eyes locked on Frost Fang. She offered a small nod of acknowledgement before the husky made his way up. This was good. It felt a bit odd to her to have conversation while looking down upon a Packmate.
Her ears involuntarily pinned back at the comment. "As much as I hate it, you're right." She'd known this for awhile, but it was never an easy thing to admit. "Let's just hope we can weather a good storm, eh? A little rain never hurt nobody." She offered a crooked half-smile to Frost Fang. "Just gotta hope these predators know what's good for 'em and keep outta Wildwood territory."
A pause, then a topic change. "How's that trainee of yours doing? Bleak Fang? I know he's pretty new, but I'm sure he'll learn quick."Just keep him safe, she didn't say. Honestly, the border trouble was no small source of worry for her. But she trusted her pack to not be stupid. Most of the time, anyway.
The large hound was stretched out in the clearing of camp, basking in the sun. Winter was coming soon and the wind was already starting to carry a bit of bite, so Swift Smoke intended on soaking up as much warmth as possible.
As his gaze wandered the clearing he caught sight of Wiggle Worm, doing an odd thing of staring at a rabbit for a concerning length of time. Curious and bored enough, Swift Fang hauled himself to his paws, gave his coarse coat a shake, and padded over.
"Y'gonna eat that or just look at it?" He questioned with a raise brow. If she wasn't going to eat it he was certain the pups and queens in the nursery would be more than willing.

Wiggle worm was focused on the prey the world around her began to grow fuzzy only left with her thoughts and with her never blinking gaze. Almost all noise was drowned out till a voice snapped her out of her trance...Oh it was swift smoke! she thought as her mind clicked faces to names then he asked her about the prey worm shifted her blue gaze to the rabbit, she scrunched up her face a bit " ehh not in the mood to eat I guess she sighed picking it up and placing it near the grey hound.
Wiggle worm sighed " Mind taking it to little cloud,? hes the grey pup looks kinda like me. she asked little cloud was her brother his real name was sleepy he was still a pup, wow its been almost a moon since they last joined the pack, a moon since they ran away from them she didn't dare think of their name nor her and mothers name. Wrom let out a long sigh feeling a cold chill from the air brush against her long golden fur.

•° Blazing Sun °• Wildwood Pack Commander • In Camp
As the sun rose above the hills surrounding camp, Blazing Sun emerged from her den. The clearing was, well, predictably pretty empty. But she hoped a little patrolling would serve as a nice wake-up call, eh?
Hmm. "Wiggle Worm!" She'd seen the Borzoi around camp lately, she was sure she'd do fine leading this patrol. "Take Frost Fang and Bleak Fang to the southern border. Make sure you check out Clover's Lake along the way. Pick up any prey you can find, but your main focus is making sure the border's secure." Her ears pinned back as she looked Wiggle Worm and Frost Fang in the eye. "Make sure you keep yourselves and especially Bleak Fang safe. Any sign of trouble and I want you reporting it to me. Got it?"
[ @Spider @goodacacia @dino. // INFO: The southern border is flat and grassy. Clover's Lake lies at the western end of the border. Patrol prompt: Is that a whiff of coyote you smell? Maybe that's fur... or are you just being paranoid?]
And another one. Unfortunately, there weren't quite enough members to patrol all the borders, so she'd have to choose wisely. "Swift Smoke," she called out. "You can take... ah, Shadow Blaze!" It was a smaller patrol, but Shadow Blaze's massive size made her feel better about sending the two dogs out alone. "I need you two to patrol the northern border. You get the same spiel as Wiggle Worm's patrol: catch prey if you can, but patrol the border and keep yourselves safe first." With a nod, Blazing Sun dismissed both patrols. She and Midnight Star would be enough to keep guard while the rest of the Pack was away. Maybe she could even set up some mock-training with the pups. Actually, that sounded like a good idea.
[ @beau @iliri - INFO: The northern border is a mixture of hilly and forested. The western half is grassy, while the eastern half marks the start of the Whispering Woods. Patrol prompt: You step into the woods, eager for some shade, and... by the Stars, there are squirrels everywhere! They dash around and skitter between your paws, desperate to get to safety. Do you try to catch 'em all?]
Patrols are due in 10 days, October 13 at 11:59 PM ET! If you cannot be on a patrol, let me know OOC by 10/6 at 11:59 PM ET (3 days from now) and they will be replaced!
If your patrol needs an extension, let me know up to 3 days after the due date (by 10/16)!
Failure to return on time or report a patrol will result in IC punishment.
If a patrolmate doesn't show up in 2 days, you may bump them. After 3 days, you may move on without them. Only patrol leaders need to report back to Blazing Sun.

"Rain? I was expecting a whole snowstorm this year." The dark husky chuckled gruffly, before acknowledging Blazing Sun's worries. "If they do, we'll show 'em up. Drive 'em out like the usual."
He'll do whatever's needed to keep their pack safe, alive and ahead of their game for the harsh winters to come. Whether these other creatures were here to hurt them or steal a portion of their prey and land, they'll deal with it accordingly. Perhaps the sooner the better. Come winter time, no one has the time nor energy to waste on pesky fights.
"Eh, the pup? He'll learn in due time." Frost Fang nodded, thinking of the small Ausky trainee. "Snow and the cold may prove t' be a good challenge for th' future."

he/him | ww pack member | in camp
There wasn’t a lot that Shadow Blaze felt. He was a dog of action, of doing what needed to be done without the clutter of emotions or unnecessary thoughts. The sun had barely begun its rise, casting long shadows across the camp as he stood at the edge of camp, methodically sharpening his claws against a large stone. It was part of his routine—something to focus on while the world slowly woke up around him. The scrape of claws on rock echoed softly in the quiet, his dark brown eyes scanning the camp with disinterest. But the moment his name was called, his large ears perked up slightly, his movements pausing. It seemed Blazing Sun wanted him for a patrol, and it was something to distract his mind from everything. He turned his head, the faintest flicker of acknowledgment crossing his stoic features. With a slow, deliberate stretch, he shook out his thick, jet-black fur and rose to his full height. As he made his way toward Blazing Sun, the same calm determination settled in his step. He dipped his head slightly. “Understood.” came his low, rumbling response, his voice as controlled as ever. His dark eyes flicked briefly toward Swift Smoke before he turned, already preparing himself for the patrol ahead as he waited for his packmate. There was no need for questions or further words. Shadow Blaze knew his duty, and when it came to guarding and protecting the pack, he always did what needed to be done.
