Morning dawned upon the hapless animals cold and gray. Truttle awoke early, as was his wont and glanced out to the rest of his sleeping companions. With a groan, Truttle scratched his rumbling belly. The pangs of hunger already starting. The big bear shifted his great bulk as he rolled to his feet. His hind leg kicking at the nearby Midnight bear still sleeping nearby.
"Wake up everyone. We have a lot to do today and I need my breakfast. I'm not waiting around for you to slow me down."
He stomped off mumbling to himself, his vision clouding with images of something fresh and fat and swollen. "I'm in the mood for horse meat!"

BIC: Selena had been sleeping peacefully on top of a nearby rock when she heard Truttle issue the need to get going. Lazily Selena opened one eye and peered at the bear with annoyed expression. Slowly the lynx stretched and let out a yawn before jumping down from her perch. Truttle was already shuffling off mumbling to himself and apparently focused the morning's meal. Selena sighed and looked to see how the others were doing before turning to thoughts of a breakfast of her own. OOC: Sorry I haven't posted much in this lately. I'll be more active from now on

(Room for one more? I've finally had a chance to read the previous posts and it sounds like a great story! )

Lost in the middle of a dream, Midnight was abbruptly forced awake by a kick. The Bear flopped over and threw his slightly blood-shot eyes open. In confusion, he looked around to see Truttle walking away from him... "Hey!" exclaimed Midnight in annoyance.. "What was that for?" he demanded, getting to his feet, but the Bear didn't respond. He seemed fixated on something else. 'Ugh...' Midnight thought to himself.
He turned around to see who else was awake.. just Selena.. "Did you see what he just did there?!" Midnight asked her in disbelief..

OOC: my char! Denaik, hes a bear with fur between light and dark brown, with a light brown stripe running down his left front arm
BIC: I had been running all night. I was exhausted, but at least it didn't get me...If only there was some way to fool it, somewhere I could blend in unnoticed...
Just then I heard: "Wake up everyone. We have a lot to do today and I need my breakfast. I'm not waiting around for you slow me down."
A group of traveling animals? What luck! If only I could somehow convince them to take me in...Maybe if I played the role of a poor beggar? No, too risky...
I finally decided I would just approach them and make up a story later.
I walked through the brush confidently and with a smile.
"Greetings! Not often you see this many animals together during these times. The name's Denaik, What be your business?"

Moaki pushed himself up, yawning and stretching his scrawny body after a restful slumber. He paused to look around at the others, most of whom seemed to be awake.
It took a few moments for the cub to notice that there was one more bear around then usual, a newcomer obviously. The cub shifted his weight as his senses went to high alert, ready to see what this new bear would do...
This led to him promptly falling onto his behind due to a lack of breakfast and the fact that one of his hind legs was on pins-and-needles from sleeping on it funny, but Moaki struggled to hide his embarrassment as he looked to see how the others would react.

(OOC:Glad to have you join BBK! And that's good to hear Remmus! Let's get this game back into full swing! ;D)
Truttle was snapped from his hunger drooling reverie as he heard an unfamiliar voice call out to them. Stopping to look down from up on the incline, Truttle spotted a bear with quite a brash oncoming. In battles, Truttle watched his opponents' eyes, looking for clues to their next action. He cocked an eyebrow as he studied his cheerful expression and wondered if this bear would be a potential opponent. His hunger regaining his focus, he continues in his stride down the incline.
"Our business is none of your business stranger. Is there something you want? These are no times to take friendly chit-chat lightly."

Clearly, this was the leader of this so-called "pack". I follow the bear down an incline, hoping to appeal to his better nature.
"My name is Denaik. There, we are no longer strangers. I merely wish to seek companionship so that I do not travel alone in these dark times."
This was going to be harder than it looked...

Truttle considered that this bear could perhaps be a spy for Korovin, so he'd keep an eye on him.
"Well you're here anyway so you can stick around if you want. Introduce yourself to the others, I have a meal to catch."
Along the line of trees, a deer spooked suddenly, her eyes wide and unblinking. She flicked her tail and bounded across the open valley floor. Truttle gave chase and disappeared into the forest.

I walked back up the incline, grateful to have a group to travel with. Although I was unfamiliar with all of them, it was a relief not to have to face it by myself...
As I approached the top, I noticed that most of the group was already up. I wasn't sure how to introduce myself to such a large crowd, so I just ignored them by climbing up a nearby tree and waiting for their leader to return.
I turned to the cub of the group. "Wake me up when we start to leave."
OOC: Denaik is about 2 years younger than Kenai, as a reference =)

Selena looked at Midnight as he finished his remark about how Truttle had kicked him. Selena just gave a shrug and said "Well I would just avoid sleeping near him if I were you. He's apparently a grouch in the morning."
Suddenly Selena shifted as she heard the an unknown voice coming from the the plateau's entrance and huddled down low. She tensed as she heard the conversation pick up, but couldn't make out what was said. It quickly became apparent that peaceful with no sounds of a struggle coming from the direction of the talking. The voice sounded like a younger animal, and very optimistic.
Intrigued, Selena stood up fully to see this new animal, but the lip of the plateau blocked her view. Now even more curious with who this new animal was, Selena pushed up onto her hind legs trying to get a good look. Unfortunately She did it too quick and began to jerk from side to side trying to keep her balance. It couldn't be kept up for long and Selena fell forward back onto all fours without a glimpse of the stranger.
Selena was about to try again, when the animal came over the rise. It was another bear, but much younger than the other three. He didn't say much, only "Wake me up when we start to leave." to Moaki before climbing up a tree and settling on a branch and dosing off.
"Apparently we have another companion." commented Selena to Midnight.

"Yeah.. I wonder what he wants.." Midnight commented back to the Lynx. He was about to walk towards the tree the new Bear was resting on when he noticed Moaki collapse onto his rear end. "Heheh, having a little trouble finding your morning feet there, kid?" he asked jokingly, russling the fur on the pup's head slightly with his paw and walking on towards the tree their new visitor was resting in. Midnight wanted to get a better look at this stranger...

After hunting down the deer, Truttle gave his blessing to it's spirit in thanks for providing a meal for his friends. He feels a responsibility to the animals that have joined him. He wants to protect them.
Picking up the deer, he heads on back toward where he left them, he climbs up the incline with the deer on his back then lays it down before them.
"Alright everyone! It's time to eat."

Not being entirely asleep, my ears prick up at the mention of food. It felt like I hadn't eaten in ages. I slowly opened one eye, so as not to alert everyone to my presence, and saw a fresh deer. My stomach rumbled.
I yawned and stretched on the branch I had been sleeping on, and, always keeping an eye on the food, slowly start down the tree in order to save myself some breakfast.

The hectic morning finally settling down with the arrival of breakfast, Moaki happily rushed forward for his share of the meal. Noticing the new bear, waking up, Moaki shrugged.
"Guess I won't need to wake him up after all," He figured, before turning his attention to the fresh deer in front of him.
Another thought came to the cub before he could sink his teeth into the food though. Thoughts of the wolf attack from yesterday played in his head as he noticed that they didn't know much about this new guy...
"So, Denaik? Are you fron around here?" Moaki asked, looking to the newest member of the team.
