Moonpack: Night has Returned!

Welcome to Visitors

Greetings. I am Clawface, the Alpha of these parts. I can see you're unfamiliar with my territory, yes? Come along. You'll find something similar to hospitality inside our camp, though not for more than a night or two or you'll start getting dirty looks. Our pack is among the largest and strongest of packs. We are not your average softhearted puppy-pets, as are many of our... ahem... cousins, but rather stonehearted warriors who do not and will not hesitate to defend each other at the cost of our lives. It would be a good idea for you to keep your intentions and destinations to yourself. More than one of us is suspicious of any and all strangers. So go ahead and take a look around. Grab a bite to eat when the crabbier packmates, including myself, aren't watching, take a swim at the falls... whatever, for all I care. Just don't be here tomorrow unless you want to join us! We'll see about that.

Night has Returned!

Clawface had perched next to the prey-pile, quietly devouring a rabbit that someone had brought, when she felt the cold touch of a nose to her shoulder.
"What is it, Nanack."
"She's getting better."
Clawface looked up. "...what?"
Nanack nodded. Clawface could see a spark in her yellow eyes. "Night is recovering."
Clawface rose and headed for the Medicine den. Nanack followed her.
Clawface nosed her way into the den. Night was on a bed off moss in the corner. She was sitting up, though, and her eyes were bright and clear.
"Hello, Night." Clawface padded in and sat next to her Beta.
Night returned the greeting with a flick from her black tail. "I'll be up and running before you know it. I hope you weren't to worried about me."
Clawface shrugged. "Next time, say so when you start coughing. There's much I need to tell you."

Nanack sat back and watched as the Alpha and Night conversed. The skies seemed to be brightening. But the warning of the prophecy still hung in the air, and Nanack could tell Clawface was on edge. She waited, while Clawface explained the prophecy to Night.
