Roleplay

Virucide awakened, as solar radiation seeped into her own den. She lifted the shields covering her oddly hued eyes, and the surrounding scenery suddenly appeared. It seemed to be blinding, therefore Virucide blinked slowly until her eyesight adjusted. A lush forest was only a mere twenty feet away from the main dens of the pack. Virucide unhinged her lower jaw, as she had to yawn. The yawn escaped her grasp, and she clamped her ivories together with a quiet snap. She raised her structure off of the ground, and exited the den. She steadily advanced towards a group of wolves that she identified as her pack. Before most of the pack members sat two proud leaders. They sat up straight, and before the pack. Virucide took her place in the small group, and patiently awaited instructions from the reigning alphas. "I need a patrol for the left-side of the territory," stated the alpha. He directed his attention towards the Lead Sentinel, and the Lead Sentinel nodded her head. She rose, and began her quest to rally a few more sentinels. Instruction after Instruction, the group eventually dwindled to one pack member, which was Virucide. "As you know, your training for Alphess is nearly complete," stated the Alphess. "This means you should be leaving the pack soon, but not quite yet," she amended. The Alpha nodded in agreement. "Until you have reached mastery of the training, your daily duties will be assisting us in enforcing the rules and accompying us to have a better understanding of pack life," the Alpha added. "Now, let's begin," the Alphess stated. Virucide simply nodded, as she understood the instructions clearly. The two rose, and abandoned their previous location as they began a patrol of the territory. Virucide followed, and used this opportunity to gain as much knowledge as she could. Her training would not last for much longer.

Virucide accompined the leaders. She observed the way that they had delt with foreigners, and the was they delt with conflicts in the pack. She repeated this observation, day after day. Until, it was time for her training to end. Virucide sat proudly one morning, as she finally accomplished the goal she had been working for, for the past era of her life. Sadly, with the completion of the training, came a sacrifice. The pack had gathered near the middle of the territory. The alphas announced a small amount of news before proceeding. "Virucide had completed her training, therefore you all know what happens next," the alphas barked. "It is time for Virucide's departure, so today all tasks will be shortened to accompony the event. Several of the leading ranks had an expression of joy, as the common thought of less work excited them. "That is all, so continue with your tasks. Virucide will be leaving before nightfall, so your tasks will only remain an hour," the alphas instructed.

As the area was cleared of most bodies, the alphas turned toward Virucide. "When you leave today, don't think about what you left behind, think of the next step," they informed her. Virucide nodded, as she paid close attention. "I want you to make us proud, go start a pack filled with loners united for the need of survival," they had instructed. "Don't just be another loner, become the leader of a legacy," they spoke. "I refuse to let my training go to waste," Virucide replied. "Now, I must plan where I will go after my departure," Virucide informed, before proceeding away. She had found a carcass, that was hunted earlier. The pack had feasted on it perviously, but the hunters had not made another kill. Virucide began to eat the rest, as she was preparing for a long journey. Virucide had began to think of which direction or location she should travel to ensure her safety, and begin a pack filled with loners.

Virucide's auditories flickered. "It sounds like some commotion in the hunting grounds," she whispered quietly to herself. Her muscles tensed, and she raised her cranium from her meal. She swiveled her cranium in the alphas direction as a sentinel was rushing towards them. "There.... is.. a. loner," the Sentinel gasped between words. Virucide overheard the news, and decided this was an oppurtunity she could take. Perhaps, even a test to pass! "I can take care of it, recruit back-up while I'm gone," Virucide suddenly shouted, which drew the superiors attention. "Well, you heard her," the superior said. The Sentinel nodded, and began the race once again.

Virucide began to accelerate towards the source of all the commotion. Stealth did not matter right now, as the commotion was already too much of a volumn to withstand. The drying foliage beneath her paws crumbled, and blurs of emeralds, siennas, and other hues rushed past her vision. The scent filled her nasal passages, and she was locked on her target. The distracting scent of a fully grown, even healthy buck caught her attention though. Why would one attack such a worthy opponent, Virucide thought. It made no sense to her. She continued to propel herself, until the wolf and the buck were in her vision.

Should she immediately question the loner, or help fight the bull? Virucide quickly pondered about the situation, and the outcomes. Perhaps, helping the hunt would be slightly a better choice, but dangerous. She would have to deal with the loner, who may attack her while she assisted the hunt. Virucide eventually noticed the wound, and snuck back into the forest's depth. She began to go around, and eventually ended up behind the buck. She stealthily approached, and latched her ivories onto it's hind limb. She attempted to have a strong grip, but it was a difficult task. Once the buck began to buck, Virucide released her grip to lower the possibility of an injury. She could already hear the back-up coming. They were quite a distance away, but they were still attmpting to arrive.

She retreated a few steps, and the buck turned to face her. Bowing it's head, it began to lethalize it's antlers. It moved in several directions, attempting to avoid most attacks. "What is your name, loner," she questioned as time was obviously going to wane at this rate.

"Cat got your tounge," Virucide barked in response towards the fae's poor attitude. Finally she could hear the paw steps of her fellow pack members. Immediately two of the back-up went to assualt the buck. Virucide attempted to assist, and after a few minutes the three canines finally accomplished bringing the elk to the ground. In which, the Lead Hunter swiftly went for the neck. An agonzing cry emmited from the elk's distress. "Now what do you think you're doing here," the alphas began to question the forigner. Virucide's auditories lowered, as she failed a simple task for pack life. She felt ashamed, but eventaully raised her cranium as she displayed a dominant auroa. Virucide predicted the excuse for trespassing would be a common one, the need for food. There was another herd outside the territory, but Virucide supposed their presence was unaccounted for. Virucide kept her auditories raised, as she patiently waited for an answer.

The alpha had snorted, the fae did seem to regret coming here, and it was an accident. Virucide decided to redeem her previous failure. "This is a pack, perhaps if it's alright with those two, you will be able to join," she offered. The alphas looked toward Virucide. "Well, she did display courage, but she had hunted a buck when she could of gone for easier prey, I suppose she could join," the alphas agreed. "So, do you plan on staying, Bonsai," the alphas invited. Vuricide retreated to her haunches, as she listened to the rest of the discussion continued. She slipped off in thought, as she began to plan her journey. She only has a few hours before her departure.

"Medical assistance will be provided," the alphas barked. "Virucide, go fetch a healer, if you may," the alphess requested. "Of course," Virucide replied, as she located the presence of a healer. She began to accelerate towards the healer, her pace increased, her breathing and heart beat increased. Finally, she spotted the healer, and slowed to a complete hault. "Nikari and Bane, we need your assistance towards the eastern boundary of the territory. Please gather your healing supplies, and I'll guide you to the necessary location," Virucide barked. Nikari and Bane nodded, and grabbed their healing supplies. They placed them in an elk skinned bag and placed the vine wrap over each of their shoulders. "Ready," they alerted Virucide. "Alright," Virucide acknowledged before speeding towards the previous scene. The three did not speak during the whole journey, as their only focus was retreating towards the group. Momentarily, they all arrived. Virucide haulted, and Nikari and Bane slowed thier pace. "Who is injured," she questioned. Finally, she spotted the injured member.
