The Silent Creek Pack [Rp] (Jump in)

It all began many years back, far back into the past. 9 cages filled with dogs of different backgrounds and families, the rumbling noise of a car engine, whining and yelping and clattering of cages. This big truck that held all of these dogs was coming from something called a puppy mill, an awful place that constantly breeds dogs and can't even afford to care for them, so they live in poor conditions. The dogs were being taken somewhere better; who knew such a minor hiccup would throw everything off course. First, they were traveling across a bumpy road and the next thing they knew they were crossing a wooden bridge. The rotten wood creaked under the weight of every dog, and eventually collapsed. The dogs came spilling out of their poorly locked cages and into the creek.
As the mood began to settle and the catastrophe was left far behind, the dogs thrived on their own in the water, and instantly they knew this was where they belonged.
And that was only the beginning of the Silent Creek Pack.

It was very early in the morning, earlier than Aztec would usually wake up, but he had promised to wake the pack up for an early morning gathering to discuss a few issues that had been bothering him for some time. He rose slowly to his paws and stretched out each stiff limb one by one. He then shrunk to the ground and slipped out of the entrance to the den, shaking the dirt that clung to his pelt afterwards. The morning was almost eerie, as if it were too quiet. The birds were seemingly quieter than usual, and the cool breeze had picked up. The furry blonde brute huffed a gentle sigh and climbed up onto the wide round rocks stacked upon each other right on top of the flowing water. He stood tall and mighty above the pack camp and lifted his great head to cast his gaze down at the scenery around him.
Aztec drew in a sharp breath briefly, then tilted his head back and howled. His deep melodic voice seemed to float on the wind and it was carried all throughout the clearing, awakening every sleeping dog.



A sleek thin dog with a grey pelt dappled with white and brown that could only belong to Lucid, heaved himself out of then den almost forcefully, his eyes drooping with exhaustion. The chilly air sent shivers down his spine.
"wait, is this another gathering?" Lucid murmured, showing genuine concern for Aztec. Over the past few days there had been several early morning or late night gatherings, mainly about territorial business and how the patrol dogs should do better; Aztec would always indirectly refer to Lucid.
Despite Lucid's disappointment, he hurried over to to gathering spot.

Aztec's eyes followed every dog emerging from the dens to sit down in front of him, many of them clearly pissed about having to be woken up early. He relaxed slowly and sat back on his haunches, his tail thumping against the rock. I hope they'll forgive me for waking them up so early these days, but my intentions are pure. I'm hoping that by the end of this year we'll have more pups in training for future generations of patrol dogs.
Even though many of the dogs had gathered there, he still waited for more to show up; especially his beta, Smoke, who seemed to be one of the last dogs to wake up at every gathering.




Lucid quickly turned to respond to the nudge with chuckle, lowering his usually loud voice "I have high hopes that Aztec will mention me in a good way this morning. I volunteered extra patrol time and a brief night watch until falling asleep; he's got to! What about you? Did you catch anything particularly special?" He watched Nova with his gentle brown eyes, waiting for an
answer.

The golden furred brute cleared his throat loudly, silencing the crowd of wild dogs. He watched the eyes of every surrounding dog in silence for a long moment, then began to announce "Many of you are rightfully annoyed by my abuse of gathering time. Whether it be late at night, or just the crack of dawn, I had been treating this priviledge wrongly, and for that I apologize. My hope is that this will be the last gathering we have for a while." He could see some dogs expressing their approval. "but my initial concern this morning is of territorial business. There have been reports of wolf sightings just east of where we stand at this very moment."
His statement earned a few anxious looks toward some of the patrol dogs.
"I am proud to announce, however, that we have many trustworthy dogs in our patrol dog group, and those of you who are worried about this situation can count on them to keep us safe."



Lucid quickly turned his attention to Aztec, trying to see if the alpha male would mention him. It turned out that he did not mention him, but when he spoke of 'trustworthy dogs', he eyed Lucid first. Lucid had definitely earned the alpha's trust again, but it wasn't going to be easy to reach his original goal- become lead patrol dog.
Lucid's long black ears twitched and he straightened his posture a little.
