Brisk an Enthos in Langoria.
Chapter 1
The low rustle of the forest ferns alerted Brisk to an enthos pack approaching. He raised his tawny colored body and ran back to the river where his pack lived for he was of the WaterRiders. His front paws were better suited for the wetland forest than his back hooves were. Mud splashed up against him, and caked the inside of his hooves. He slowed down his gallop into a gentle trot as he entered into the main area of the territory’s camp. Luna, his mate, trotted up to him, and nuzzled him. “How is the new patrol life for you?” she asked with a hint of play in her voice. “Just as much fun as the hunting and water gathering lives were.” he sighed sarcastically. “WindStream is getting closer to our borders, and I’m sure they know that.” he growled at the thought of the WindStream pack crossing the border. “Don’t think so hard about it, you know as long as Blix is our alpha they won’t come in our territory.” Luna said reassuringly. “No that’s precisely why they would come you know Blix’s son is the alpha, and you also know he loved our lands. He did threaten to take it over when Blix kicked him out of the pack.” As he finished his rant, Blix’s sister, Petra, walked up to them. “Blix is ready for the patrol report, he’s over by the warming rocks.” She turned to Luna. “Luna, come with me for a moment, I need to have a word with you.” Luna nodded, and the two walked away leaving Brisk to ponder what Petra needed. He padded towards the warming rocks, passing by three young pups sleeping in the sunlit cove. He knew these to be the offspring of his best friend, Scar. He approached Blix, and bowed to him. “I come with the report Blix.” Blix turned, and acknowledged Brisk, but his face was clouded with other thoughts. “Yes I sent Petra to get you, what have you seen?” With that Blix turned back to stare upon the river. Brisk hesitated for a second then started. “I was out in the northern part of the territory, and I heard WindStream.” He stopped, and the clouded look on Blix’s face turned to one of alarm. “What would you have done if it had crossed?” Brisk hadn’t given any thought to what he would have done. “I-I would chased it back out.” Blix’s face had relaxed back to its normal stern expression when he heard what his patrolman would have done. “That would have been the right thing for you to do. I have to go send the afternoon patrol, so I take my leave.” With that Blix stood up, and trotted towards the middle of the clearing. Brisk sat there a moment before heading towards the shallow part of the river to wash the mud off. He would be able to get it off his paws, but the hooves would require some licking. When he arrived he saw Frost, and her three babies washing in the river. Upon hearing something, Frost looked up, and smiled when she saw Brisk. “Looks like you have the mud caked up under your hooves. Running through the wetlands?” she asked thoroughly amused. “Yes I was sent to the northern wetland grove on patrol this morning. Apparently, there is a large patch of mud by the markings tree, and I got sucked in.” Frost laughed, said goodbye to Brisk, and took her cubs back to their den. Brisk padded into the cool water, and the mud washed away in the river. He slipped out, and shook his coat. “Hey don’t get me wet!” An agitated call from a female enthos. He stopped, and saw Luna shaking his water of her coat. “Sorry didn’t see you there.” He apologized, and then asked. “What did Petra want anyways?” Luna went silent, and looked away. “Well what did she want?” Brisk tried again. “I can’t tell you just yet, just trust me on this.” Luna responded. He sighed, and asked “Do you want to go hunting, or eat what’s left of that caribou?” To which she responded “The caribou sounds nice.” With that, the two walked away to enjoy lunch.
Yea not my best chapter, its more of a get to know some of the characters chapter, they get better I promise. If you want to know what an enthos is, I have a picture of it on my profile, its the top picture. Langoria is their lands that these creatures live on. There are three packs of them, WaterRiders, WindStream and FireStorm.
