The ragtag group soon entered the forest. The little kit squealed with displeasure, not used to the rapid climate shift. Arias let out a little purr, hoping to calm the kit down. Ryker and Leonis were both in front, leading the way through the woods. "We should be almost-" "Stop!"<br/><br/>A gray she-wolf suddenly appeared in front of them. She let out a snarl, glaring fiercely at Ayl and Arias. Ryker jumped in front of the other wolf. "Laurel, it's us!" The female looked the blue-ish wolf over with a bit of shock, "Ryker! Leonis! What are you two doing out? Your father-"<br/><br/>"We know what our father said, but this is a bit more urgent. We need to see him" Leonis butted in. Laurel glanced over at the other two, "What about them?" "They're with us, now let us in." Ryker replied.<br/><br/>Laurel let out a sigh, "Drake will not be pleased with intruders, but..." She nodded to them. "Alright, but don't blame me if he gets mad that you brought outsiders into our home." She quickly trotted off, followed by Ryker and Leonis. Arias hurried after the others, careful not to bump the kitten too much as she ran.
