LA- Shelter in the Circle pt.2
Matthias splashed lazily through the still flooded streets of the North District. The muck almost felt permanently attached to his paws and even though the rain had dialed back, it was no consolation for the cold now settling in. The scarred mutt shook himself simply out of habit to get some water out of his ear that quickly dripped back in. He flicked his ears on regular counts of two and scanned the murmuring street rivers with a heavy gaze.
"The sky is heavy and dark, but such a common thing to remark. Keep your head up, my dear. The wind will howl, the earth will sink, but never fear. Near, leer, deer. The deer of the forest are probably

LA- Bearer of Good News Final
"Yea, I guess I'm a... guard type thing. I'll tell our leader if it's really that important." Sunday bit her tongue and shook her head slightly. "Sorry, so what is it?"
"There was a dog that hurt a member of your pack. Big, red, sharp teeth. His name was Clay." Said Folli, wondering if the dog in front of her might have encountered Clay. "You guys won't have to worry about him anymore. He's dead."
Sunday started, taking a jerky step away from the poodle. "W-what? How do you-" Then she remembered what she told the Circle's pack leader about looking for him. Surely, Sencha must have passed such information to her subordinates. "H-how are you

Lost Athens- What It Means To Be Free
Bishop gave a heavy sigh, glancing over at the spaniel who rested beside him. 'Punishment', the old man had said. What good would punishing the spaniel do? He knew better than anyone that you couldn't force someone to stay alive, and wording it like they were punishing her was only going to make her resent him. The golden dane didn't hae anything against keeping an eye on Sunday, but he wished the Grandfather had been more tactful about it. Gently, he nudged the spaniel.
"Hey, you awake?" He asked softly.
Sunday violently twitched as she slept, scrunching her nose and irritably flexing her toes. Feeling something touch her side, the little

Lost Athens- Taking a Chance
After her evening meeting Bishop, Sunday felt the knot in her stomach loosen a bit. Her nightmares subsided for the night and a full belly helped too. The sweetness of spring finally began to bring her a bit of joy, though not enough to rid her of her inner anger. Her eyes still felt heavy and the fur on her back was kept on edge. Though the last few strangers had meant her no harm, that gave no pretense to future encounters.
But she did feel like taking a risk. Putting on a rabbit's scent, the little spaniel took a deep breath before wandering into the maze of the North District. It smelled heavily of piss on the boarders but once she dared

Lost Athens- Pushing All The Wrong Buttons
Dean and At Fault had wandering for days. The good thing was that they had each other so it was not unbearably lonely and more entertaining. Dean was used to wandering on his own, but that was when he had new sights to see and places to explore. That was fun. This was pack business.
That wasn’t saying they had no fun. Dean couldn’t think of anyone he would rather have by his side, and the two constantly talked about how exciting and wonderful nature was, even in winter.
But the truth of the matter is that they had been searching for the red dog for days. No one had a nose quite like Dean’s, but he was new to tracking and t

Lost Athens- Sentinels Commissioned
Sencha was laying under the barren winter trees on the Western border of the Circle's territory, waiting for the pack's two males. In Summer she imagined these trees would provide fine shade and a cool place to rest, but for now they were only thick boughs of wood reaching into the sky.
The collie whuffed softly, her breath misting in the chill air. There had been a number of distractions that kept her from addressing thi issue she'd brough up with Dean when they first took in Little Thing. That was to be expected; winter meant that the entire pack was busy. Ideally she wouldn't have liked to do something of this nature during such a dangero

Lost Athens- Sorrows and Furies
It was close to midday, and Fierro was once again by his favourite spot by the riverbank. The white mastiff rolled onto his back in satisfaction. Now that the air had became significatively chilly, so that his long hair wasn't a bother but a valuable ally, he could fully enjoy the Sun warmth.
The Grandfather was out of earshot, and Fierro hadn't seen him since their territory-marking stroll early that morning. Shame on that, since he had managed to succesfully hunt, and after partially satisfying his own hunger, he was eager to share with someone else. It had taken some struggling, and he earned a few scratches in his face and left shoulder
