*the growl deeped then formed a low bark then she said* another pack, trying to invade *she ran and jumped, her claws digging into the earth and as soon as she landed she released a powerful bark*

" Star," She growled. She was proud of her friend's bravery, but that could still get them killed. " If your right, we're both dead if they find us. We don't know how many there are." She stood in front of her. " We should get back to camp and tell the Alpha and Betas." She said with authority. Turning her back to the forest, knowing they had to hurry. Star would have alerted the other pack

*she growled but understood and sprinted to camp faster then most wolves*

SpiritWind took one last moment to stare into the forest after Star left. Then, she turned and ran as well. Soon, she slowed and entered camp. Not caring to answer wolves who called her name, she headed for her Mother's den and entered without even calling a greeting.

*she followed, skidding to a stop right before she went in, then coming in, bowing gently*

SpiritWind waited for Star, then turned to MaskedStar, who was watching them. " Mother, I believe the Betas told you about the scents?" She nodded, and SpiritWind continued. " Well, Star thinks she saw the pack down near the Blood spilled pond." She looked to Star, then back at MaskedStar. Who looked as she was deep in thought.

" I don't doubt you, either of you." She said, resting her gaze on Star. " We're going to do your fight tonight, if that's fine. If this Pack was already there, its better to get this over with without giving them time to do anything. What do you think?" She asked. SpiritWind held her breath quietly.

*she nodded, saying it was fine, and said* i understand, i choose WinterStorm, but i have a condition for if he loses, if you will hear it

" Very well. What is it?" MaskedStar tilted her head. SpiritWind perked her ears, interested as well.

( By the way, WinterStorm and WhiteStorm are two different wolves, I just noticed how close their names are now lol)

(ok, i'm talking about the Med) my condition is that WinterStorm retains his role and respect level, i do not wish to kick him out of his position and respect *her tone and posture indicated that she was firm on this and would not budge*

MaskedStar narrowed her eyes. " You are asking for us to change some of our ways. If WinterStorm losses, she will become a Nameless, yes, but that can't stop her from raising as a Hunter or Warrior afterwards. Just as it would be if you lost. This is our way, young wolf. If you are to stay, you must respect these." She finished. SpiritWind let out a sigh .- Good try, Star. It's a nice thought, but my Mother sticks to rules.- She casted a sympathetic look at her friend.
