Shadow Blaze moved quietly beside Swift Smoke, his large paws making barely a sound as they pressed into the soft earth. His dark eyes scanned the surrounding trees, his instincts heightened by the unfamiliar energy in the forest. When Swift Smoke paused and his head snapped toward a flurry of movement, Shadow Blaze immediately honed in on the same motion, watching with calm precision as the squirrel bolted out, seemingly colliding with Swift Smoke's paws. His patrol-mate’s quick reflexes ensured the squirrel's capture, and Shadow Blaze offered an approving nod when Swift Smoke efficiently finished the kill. But something felt off. The air seemed thick with a strange tension, and as Shadow Blaze scanned the forest, his gaze sharpened on the rapid movement darting through the undergrowth. It wasn't just one or two squirrels; the woods were alive with them, all scurrying in a chaotic rush. His nose twitched at the overwhelming scent of prey that now flooded his senses. This definitely wasn't normal. Squirrels didn’t move in such numbers unless something was stirring them. Swift Smoke’s voice echoed through his thoughts, the large dog remaining composed, though his muscles tensed beneath his thick pelt, ready to spring into action when needed. He didn’t voice his thoughts immediately, instead letting instinct take over as another squirrel dashed out from the bushes.
Without a second's hesitation, he leapt forward, his powerful jaws snapping shut around its body before it could even react. He dropped the squirrel at his feet, his eyes still scanning the area. Another darted past, and Shadow Blaze moved with impressive speed, catching it mid-stride. His paws seemed to glide over the forest floor as he secured a third and then a fourth, his focus unbroken even as the frenzy around them grew. Each kill was swift, efficient, and calculated. Shadow Blaze finally straightened, his gaze locking on Swift Smoke as the chaotic scurrying of squirrels began to dwindle. “Something clearly spooked them.” He murmured, his voice low and thoughtful as he surveyed the area once more. The squirrels’ frantic exodus couldn’t be a coincidence, not with so many of them moving at once. His instincts urged him to remain on high alert. But for now, they had a bounty of prey. Four plump squirrels lay at his large paws, the plentiful fruits of his swift action. "No sense in letting the opportunity go to waste, though. The pack definitely needed the extra prey." he added, his tone pragmatic as he glanced down at the pile of catches, scooping up his own pile while he waited for Swift Smoke to gather his.
Swift Smoke bounded after the squirrels, snapping as they seemed to practically leap into his mouth. A few were swift enough to avoid him, but by the time they seemed to be clearing out the large hound had four squirrels laying by his paws.
"Not too shabby," he remarked, looking over to Shadow Blaze's own rather large pile. It was quite fortunate to have such a large catch before winter hit - this had to be enough to feed to clan for at least a week or two. He hummed at the other dog's comments. "I reckon you're right; I'll let Blazing Sun know when we get back n' case she wants to send a follow up patrol."
He gathered up his kills then began the trek back to camp.
[ rolled a 4 for the catch count, 19 for the success rate; +5 squirrels total ]

Swift Smoke took a detour to the prey pile to drop off his catch before reporting back to Blazing Sun. "Patrol was great, border was quiet n' the squirrels were practically throwin' themselves at us. Must've caught eight or nine." He glanced over to his patrolmate briefly. "Shadow Blaze is thinkin' somethin' spooked them, but we didn't scent anything. Next patrol up at the border might wanna be extra cautious, though."

Blazing Sun was calling a meeting? What for? Shadow Blaze’s ears flicked at the sound of the howl, a slight furrow forming between his brows as he lifted his head from his spot near the edge of camp. The familiar chill in the air nipped at his fur, a constant reminder of the shifting seasons and the preparations that needed to be made for the harsh winter ahead. The trees in the Whispering Woods were already showing signs of the change, their leaves having been turned into a brittle orange and gold, some falling in slow spirals as the wind tugged them from their branches. He had expected Blazing Sun to make decisions soon for healers, but for her to call a meeting now, it meant something was pressing. His dark eyes narrowed thoughtfully. Whatever it was, it wasn’t something they could afford to ignore. He rose to his paws, muscles tensing under his sleek pelt as he shook out his coat and began moving toward the Meeting Rock, his steps deliberate as usual. As he approached, the large dog sat near the front of the small pack, his thoughts swirling with anticipation. Whatever Blazing Sun had to say, it would set the tone for the days to come, and Shadow Blaze was ready to meet it head-on. Winter was coming, and if the pack was to survive, they would need to be prepared for anything.

A grey and white, fluffy borzoi pup!
"Worm!" The pup called as he started to his sibling after the call from the big dog. What was this about? Was there going to be something really cool happening? That would be fun! "What's going on?" The pup asked curiously as they made it to his sibling's side and pressed against the older borzoi's flank, looking up with wide and curious eyes.
