<span style="color: #BF0000">Kaala opened one lazy eye. The pack was in their spring gathering. In one moon it would be time to go to their summer place. The pups would have to cross the Tall Grass plains. This would be there first test. There were three tests that all pups had to pass before they got the Roma from the Alpha male. The pups themselves would not know of these tests.  It would be the first time they left the den today. If a pup seamed weak it would not get a name. But Kaalaâ€™s mother always had a good litter. She herself had been in the last litter. Her job now was to run the deer with the young wolves. It was one way to select prey. Not the best method but it was useful. She herself was one of the fastest members of the pack. Swift River pack was the fastest pack in the valley. They were built to run. Unlike the Vole eaters that were small scavengers, or the Stone peak pack that was much more solid and tough the Swift River pack was sleek. Kaala was a proud member. <br/><br/>The pack was just waking from their afternoon sleeps. When the weather grew hotter their naps would become longer. But for now they only slept out of habit. But she could hear the pack waking up. Trevegg was up stretching. He may be old but he was a wise wolf. Everyone in the pack deeply respected him. And as a hunter he was still amazing to watch. Grinning Kaala stood up. The pack was awake. And all were waiting for Morren. </span><br/><br/><br/><span style="color: #0000FF">Trevegg yawned. A scent filtered through his old nose. His pack was waking. Pushing himself off the ground he began stretching his legs. Pulling his bodyweight of his front paws he shoved the forward into the ground. Yawning again he shook out his silver coat before pacing around the clearing. Today the pups would be named. Pups were essential to a packs survival. They determined the future. Many pups left the valley but for those who chose to stay they would be of great service to the pack. They would be the future hunters and future alphas. Trevegg could tell which ones had the potential to be alphas. In fact he himself had been alpha. It had supposed to be his brotherâ€™s job but Ruuqo had become attached to humans. So attached that the great wolves had come and removed him from the pack. But he had tried to fight. So they had ended up killing him. It was a sore spot in the packs history but no one ever mentioned it. Sighing Trevegg laid back down waiting for his Daughter to emerge from the den with her pups. </span>
