New Friends

Sarengeti woke to sounds of a busy camp. "Hey Kiira, let's go take do a patrol together!" she heard Minoru bark. She smiled and chuckled quietly to herself. "Oh Minoru, how mixed up you are." Sarengeti thought. She didn't particularly favor Kiira, since she seemed to always stretch the truth and claim that she did things that wolves could never do. Sarengeti walked outside and stretched in the late morning sun. It was going to be a cold winter, but she was sure that her new Pack could take it. They were all strong. She watched Ryuu stalking a leaf, and laughed when he grabbed it between his teeth. "He really does need another pup to play with." she thought. "Good morning Sarengeti!" she heard Assagii call. "Morning Assagii!" she returned joyfully. This was her Pack, her home. And then she remembered that she had a new Pack member to announce. "I'll announce it when Kiira and Minoru get back." she thought. As she looked about the camp, she wondered, "Where is Kyo?". And then she thought "He's out hunting again, when is he not?". As she came out of the Alpha's den, she realized that Yamasaki was still asleep. She could here her snoring! "YAMASAKI, WAKE UP!" Sarengeti howled as loud as she could. Yamasaki jumped up, startled out of her sleep. She thought that they were being attacked! "Don't do that Sarengeti!", she snapped angrily, "With all of the Packs angry at us, I was afraid that they were attacking us!". She humphed and stalked away. Out of the corner of her eye, Sarengeti saw Minoru and Kiira walk back into the camp and start to turn towards her. When they got to her,  Sarengeti said, "Do you have anything to report?" "Nope, nothing out of the norm." they replied in unison. Sarengeti then quickly ran up the the Howling Rock and howled a long, slow howl. All of the wolves gathered around below her, with Yamasaki behind her up on the Rock and Assagi, Yuri, and Kyo all directly below her. "Wolves of RavenPack," Sarengeti began, "We have a new Pack member to announce today." She paused while the wolves barked their applause. "Her name is Zehara, and she is a new fighter. She will bring honor and victory to our Pack.". She then ran down the back of the Howling Rock and touched noses with Zehara. "Welcome to RavenPack." Sarengeti said joyfully. "I'm glad to be here." she replied. As she looked up, she signaled all of the wolves with her tail. They started to howl and bark their approval and congratulations. One by one they started to come up and touch her shoulder, in a sign of welcome.


"Zehara!"
"Zehara!"
"Zehara!"
