A Meeting of Fate [Pack]

[DENI.]

It was finally happening. He could remember when it had just been a silly idea that he had shared with his sister, an idea of starting a pack for small canines like them. He had thought it was so silly, but here it was... Happening. The vixen Echo was following behind him, ready to meet the rest of the pack. The word seemed foreign. Not just 'the' pack, but 'his' pack. A group of canines he had promised shelter and protection. While he never planned to go back on that promise unless taken by death, he just hoped that he could live up to it.

When they arrived at the burrow, he came to a stop and settled in the thick grass around it. He loosed several yips, calling Magalie and Rose to the area. "They'll be here soon." He said, thinking of the vixen Trix that he had met the other day. Perhaps she would come as well. It would be nice to have them all in one area.

"I'm talking."

[PARANOIAC]

Echo followed behind Tybalt quietly, head held lower as he ears fell back just slightly. She was nervous about meeting the others - though, at the same time, she had high hopes for how things would go. The todd had assured her that the others would like her, and from what she had heard of them, they all sounded like a nice group to be a part of. As they reached the general area, she hung back just a bit, not wanting to make it seem as if she were encroaching. How odd, it must have been, for strangers to just pop in out of the blue. They must've been a welcoming group, to say the least... and that idea helped to boost her confidence just a little bit.

The vixen nodded as Tybalt assured her that the others would be there soon, offering a faint smile and a wag of her tail. She looked around the area, gold eyes skimming over her surroundings so that she could familiarize herself with them. This was where she was going to live - going to belong. A home, a family, a safe place to stay... and companionship. It all sounded wonderful.

"...Thank you, again, Tybalt," Echo added in a hushed voice, finally breaking the streak of silence. She looked right over at the other, her smile becoming a bit less timid as she got more used to the other. By this point, all her faith was wrapped up in him; and yet, it didn't feel silly or strange to trust this stranger, which was strange in itself in retrospect.

[Aspen]

Her life had changed from the moment that Tybalt mentioned his desire to start a pack. It was the first time in a long while that she felt like she really had a place to stay and a place to feel safe. Alie was excited at the prospect and took to helping out as soon as she could.

Admittedly, Magalie had a bit of a lazy day. She had made a few rounds with Tybalt a few days prior and since then had stuck around the burrow, helping tidy up. At the sound of Tybalt's little yips, she made her way to the entrance of the burrow. Tybalt's scent had become familiar, but there was another one with him. It wasn't someone she recognized. This excited Magalie and picked up her pace a little.

The white vixen came out of the burrow at a trotting pace with her tail bouncing along behind her. Being well rested put her in a wonderful mood and placed a smile on her face. She took a seat before the two foxes, dipping her head in greeting.

"Hello again, Tybalt." She turned her attention to his new fox, curious as to who she was and if she'd be staying with them. It was exciting to have a 'family' around again... Or at least like minded individuals. "And hello, ma'am. I'm Magalie. It's a pleasure to meet you." Alie found herself fascinated by this new fox as she had been with Tybalt and Rose upon meeting them. These 'fire foxes', as she'd taken to calling them, captivated her with their colors. Magalie did her best not to stare despite her excitement.

The girl had been resting in a nice patch of sun when she'd heard her brother's calls, immediately opening her jade eyes as her head rose off the ground. Today seemed to be the day that all the members of the pack would meet and to be honest, she felt a little giddy. For so long it had always been her and Tybalt but now she was about to meet at least three other foxes. She'd only met one so far, Magalie she remembered, but her brother had told her of more. His ideas of a pack had seemed a little silly at first, she had to admit, but now everything had been set into motion and it all seemed so real she was glad she'd made the decision to support him. They'd all be like a family she was sure, her brother spoke very highly of all the soon-to-be members and she'd been tingling with excitement whilst she waited for the day they'd arrive. That day had come and she needed to get a move on, her brother wouldn't wait forever even for her.

Pulling herself out of her warm patch of grass, she stretched her limbs well before sauntering off into the woods. She'd remembered the direction the yips had come from and easily wove her way around the trees and bushes, breathing in the smells. It had only been a short amount of time since they'd decided to claim the forest as their own and it was already feeling like home. She knew every tree and flower like she'd lived here all her life, which she took as a good sign that they'd settled here. There was also talk of claiming the nearby pond too, which she knew would be a great addition to their territory.

A bush rustled as Rose stuck her head through, checking if she had indeed come to the right place before stepping fully out into view. Her eyes immediately fell onto Tybalt and she gave him a warm smile before turning her eyes on the other two there. Magalie was there, introducing herself to the new fox, and the girl offered her a smile with the same warmth as she'd given her brother. They were all family now and family needed trust. Walking up beside the white fox, Rose followed her lead and introduced herself.

"Name's Rose. It's very nice to meet you."

Trix was glad to have a pack but she has not seen the others yet. Tybalt had said that he was forming a pack of foxes that she could join. She had no idea of what she was going to do for the pack.

She had all of these things on her mine while she went hunting. Her target was a large plumb rabbit. Sniffing around she found the trail of one. It is true that she was breed and raised in captivity but she was told stories of the wild and how to hunt. She would practices hunting mice and other small mammals so she did not have to eat the dry human food. Spying her target she crouched down and held her tail still. She took small steps that were small and carefully placed. She made sure that there were no small objects that she could step on so not to scare it.

The rabbit became suspense and started to be on edge, nervous. She would have to make her move soon or loose this plumb rabbit. Checking that she was down wind of the prey and not in visible sight. She deemed herself that she was close enough and leapt. The rabbit dodged her first attack but she got him.

Right as she made the kill, a call from Tybalt came. She licked her lips to clean her muzzle of blood. She picked up the rabbit and headed towards the call with a rabbit in her jaw. She padded into the meeting with already a few foxes. There was Tybalt but there were three other foxes that were all female. There was a white fox which she believed is a artic fox, and two more red foxes.

Hey Tybalt. My name is Trix it is very nice to meet the rest of you. she said in a polite voice and nod to first Tybalt then to the rest of them.

[DENI.]

Everyone filed in within very reasonable times after he made his call. Magalie trotted right out of the burrow, and a grin appeared on his face. She greeted Echo warmly, but Tybalt was already on his paws, bouncing over to her and pressing his snout into her fur. His eyes were twinkling happily, it was nice to have a family again.

His sister entered the clearing next, coming to stand by him and Magalie. He pressed his snout against her cheek affectionately before trotting back over to Echo's side. He wanted her to be happy, and to not feel overwhelmed. They waited a few more moments before Trix entered the clearing, a plump rabbit hanging from her jaws. "Nice catch!" He commented appreciatively.

He sat back on his haunches, his eyes still twinkling but his demeanor more serious. "I'm really glad that you all have decided to join the pack. I think everyone is gonna get along fine, but I do want to discuss some rules I've thought of. Basically don't fight with each other, and if you find a stranger on our land bring them to Echo or myself if they want to join. Also, bring it up to me or Rose if you would like to have kits, so we can be expecting them and stuff." He grinned, licking his nose before he continued. "You all know your abilities better than I do, so I think it would be good for you to pick your ranks. You can choose from soldier, hunter, scout, or just a regular member. I think its pretty obvious what each one of those would do. Also, even though we would accept any small dog who wanted to join, I think we should call ourselves Vulpus Vasum." He smiled again, his amber gaze looking at each of the females in turn.

[PARANOIAC]

And one by one, the other foxes all arrived. Echo held her breath for a moment as she watched the others approached, the nervousness about meeting new faces and learning new names rising back up from the pit of her stomach. She lowered her head, making sure that she kept close to Tybalt as the white fox approached first. Golden eyes widened with awe as the vixen looked over the snowy pelt. She had never seen anything like it, it was absolutely gorgeous. For the first time in as long as she could remember, she felt a little envious... Though, not quite jealous, not spitefully envious in any way.

"Magalie... V-very nice to meet you, too," the red fox replied, giving a polite nod. She wasn't used to names like these, names that weren't after objects or such, but she'd have to do her best to remember them. Magalie seemed very friendly, and some of the nervousness was beginning to fade away.

Next was Rose. She must've been Tybalt's sister, resembling him greatly, except for her pretty green eyes as opposed to his own vivid amber. "It's nice to meet you, Rose..." Echo added, giving another slight nod of her head in greeting. The other vixens were all very kind thus far, at least they seemed to be so. Her white-tipped tail began to wag a bit, and soon Trix showed up with the rabbit.

"Wow, Trix, wonderful job!!" the newest addition to the group praised after Tybalt. She was glad as the todd walked back over and stood by her side, feeling much more comfortable with him there. He dove right into explaining some rules for the new Pack, and the vixen's ears perked as she listened carefully. She nodded in agreement when he paused, as everything sounded perfect to her. She wouldn't have been able to figure out where to start with rules, so the fact that he already had some outlined was encouraging. He really must've been toying with this idea for a while...

"That sounds like a wonderful name," Echo replied as Tybalt gave another smile. With all the excitement, she had almost forgotten about being nervous all together. Her shyness was fading away, and she felt much more at home already, especially since they had a name to call themselves. Smiling, she turned her head to look at the other three vixens, "What do you all think??"

[Aspen]

Tybalt's little head rub and Echo's welcome (however quiet it may have been!) put a smile on the white foxes face. This was going to be their new family. They were small, both in individual stature and group size, but they had a much better chance of surviving together than they did apart. That was what this was all about.

Magalie was equally impressed with the other orange foxes catch. She herself had never been a great hunter, she'd just been good enough not to starve. While the others gushed compliments, Alie watched with admiration. "Remind me to follow you out hunting now and then, Trix. You look like a wonderful teacher!" She thought then that it might mean getting her coat and paws a little dirty, which certainly wasn't the first thing on her list to do.

It was then that Tybalt began his speech about what would be the new start of their lives. The rules were simple enough to follow, and given that they were all agreeable individuals, Magalie didn't see there being any problems. She was excited to have a den to come home to and foxes to share a life with. "I think it's exquisite!" The excitement that Tybalt showed was contagious, apparently infecting Echo in addition to Magalie. It warmed her heart to see that she wasn't the only fox who was more than glad to have others around. "So it's settled then, yes? We're together now. Here for each other." There was hope in her voice that this would be the beginning of something new for each of them.

[»KINDLE ♫]

Noise filtered into the fox's ears and she swivelled around to see another girl wander out of the bushes, rabbit swaying in her jaws. Rose guessed this was the final addition to their pack and she smiled warmly at the new arrival, tail swishing appreciatively, "I see we have a real hunter in our pack! It's great to meet you Trix." She chuckled before turning to face the others she'd met, nodding to each one in turn before sitting herself down to listen to her brother.

Opening her mouth to speak, she was beat to it by a fellow member, "Took the words right out of my mouth, Echo. Tybalt, I love the name." She laughed, her lips curving up in a smile again as Magalie added her agreement too. Looking around at all the vixens she couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth and excitement flow through her. There was also amusement, considering her poor brother was surrounded by girls. She butted her sibling on the shoulder softly before looking up at him with a small nod, a gesture meant to show her feelings of admiration for all he'd done to get this far.


I'm so sorry for the shortness of this! It will get better, I promise.

[Faith]

Trix had missed the names to the others but she was sure they would say them soon.. It appeared that she was the last one to the meeting, but she did not mind. As she introduced herself, dropping her catch, the others commented on her catch. First Tybalt, then the female with amber eyes. At this she folded her ears back in embarrassment. She shifted her paws. All of the others also commented on her catch. The arctic fox asked her to come out hunting with her. Then a fox with green eyes greeted her.

Thanks she said to all of them. Soon after Tybalt continued. He talked about rules and the name of the pack. He also said he was glad that they all decided to join the pack. She was too. She would have hated to live on her own. She was about to say she loved the name when the first fox next to Tybalt, said that she loved the name. The fox with green eyes revealed the name of the first fox. Echo. That is a wonderful name Tybalt. she said with a bright smile on her face. She was very glade to have a place to call home.
