Durandel and Mydnyte
Mydnyte growled in frustration over this farce. He looked with displeasure over to Fang who took it upon himself to run up to Blue to see how he could help. Durandel also rushed over falling in behind Nova as he looked to the wining Blue. "My ears are still ringing." Durandel commented. Fang shook his head at Nova, jokingly of course. "While that might seem easy I'm sure we could do something better." Fang then looked at Blue then at the thing stuck to her. It was a porcupine! A porcupine of all things! Fang would find it hilarious but if Mydnyte figured out that this was the reason for all this commotion, he would be furious!
"Well, we should remove the...what is that? A porcupine?" Durandel asked. "Yep, and trust me guys the faster we get rid of it, the lest chance we have Mydnyte breathing down our necks." Fang spoke. "Well at least it's not all bad, at least there's been some pleasant smelling flowers along this road." Durandel optimistically added. Fang nodded. "Yeah are you alright? That was a nasty trip." Durandel asked concerned.
Before much more could be done a rustling could be heard in the nearby brush. Mydnyte growled as he lept to their defense. "Did you hear that?" He asked. Fang too took a defensive position as he looked around. The brush was quite thick along the road, it could hide any number of wolves. Durandel looked around but saw or smelt nothing. "Fellas, it could just be another porcupine. There are loads of wild animals in these woods." Durandel reasoned. It was then they heard more rustling. "See? If it was an enemy they wouldn't make so much noise so quickly." It was then Mydnyte eyed him and then spoke, "Then tell me Lava Wolf...do you smell any other animals around here?" It was then Durandel smelt the air around him and to his shock, he was right. All he could smell was flowers.
Another rustling came as vines quickly sprang forth and surrounded them! It was then the brush parted to reveal a squad of Aven warriors as they surrounded the small group. The Aven growled defensively as a wolf, presumably their leader, spoke, "So then? What business does an Ice Wolf, a Lava Wolf, and," The Aven eyed the others and noticed the shadows beneath the black wolves moving in peculiar ways, "Shadow Wolves, eh? Quite the eclectic bunch you are." He observed. The Aven didn't seem quite pleased to see them and didn't show any intent of being hospitable anytime soon. They were especially displeased to see Durandel as some snarled and bared their fangs at him.
Mydnyte for once stopped growling as he stepped forward, "Listen here, we mean you and your kin no harm, Forest Wolf." He spoke. "Hm, I find that difficult to believe since you're in the company of such a destructive wolf." The Aven spoke glaring at Durandel. Durandel couldn't help but growl a little at the disrespect shown to him. "It's true. We are here to meet with one of your own actually." Fang spoke up. "Really? And who might that be pray tell?" The Aven asked. "Fox." Mydnyte answered. The Aven were taken aback at their knowledge of one of their own. "Who are all of you? Spies?!" The Forest Wolf barked. "No, were not!" Durandel yelled at them. "Be silent!" Mydnyte barked at him.
"Look, if we were all spies then we would be pretty poor excuses for ones right? I mean for starters we took a clearly, public path and two, well we wouldn't make so much noise that it could raise the dead, now would we?" Fang reasoned. The Aven took his points into consideration and decided to take a second glance at these intruders. He noticed the one on the ground had...a porcupine stuck to her?! He then laughed a hardy laugh at the sight. His squad looked at him peculiarly. "I am sorry my friends but look at the one on the ground! See what's stuck to her!" He then chuckled. The other Aven looked and laughed as well. "I remember my first time getting stuck by one of those as a pup, here let me help." It was then the Aven called down a branch from a nearby tree as it snaked it's way down to his muzzle. He then picked an nut from the tree and tossed it before the creature. Smelling it the Porcupine wiggled it's way off of Blue, although not in the most gentle of fashion as it ran for the nut. It then scurried off.
"Porcupine's like salty things, like nuts, you should be fine once you get whatever quills stuck in you out." The Aven spoke. He then turned to the rest of the group, "Well I guess you aren't spies, but what do you want with Fox?" He asked. "Fox is an ally of ours, I am Mydnyte perhaps she's spoken about me?" He asked. The Aven racked his brain for any confirmation and the remembered something, "Wait a minute? Weren't you one of the ones that helped rescued her?" He asked. "Yes, you know about that?" "Of course we do! It's quite a riveting and inspirational story to us Aven. Hm, so you wish to speak with her?" The Aven asked. "Yes if you could? We're heading to Springwood to meet her." Fang responded. "Very well, follow us we'll take you down one of our hidden paths to the Woods." The Aven spoke. As the vines snaked away the Aven parted the brush to reveal a new path that leads deeper into the forest. As the Forest Wolves moved forward, Mydnyte looked at the others and beckoned them to follow.
