Rising Ashes walks through the forest near the Qakaarti territory. He picks up a drafting scent of a wolf. He arches his back and snarls. But Lapping Wave just walks into the opening. Rising Ashes relaxes his muscles. "How will you help?" he snarls to her.

Lapping Wave sits down gently and wraps her tail around her delicate paws, being careful not to stray from the Qakaarti side of the border onto Xarinda territory. "I hear you've been having problems with Canis," she says slowly. "I wish to help. Tell me, what are your problems?"

Rising Ashes began slowly. "Canis and Lupus have been battling over me, for some reason, in one form or another. I have come to learn the ways to protect myself from Canis." He dipped his head and waited for the answer.

Lapping Wave glares pointedly at him. "Lupus does not want you! She couldn't care less about you! She's merely trying to attempt to save an innocent wolf from Canis!" she spits.

"Clearly she doesn't want me! I am Canis's property! She wouldn't want Canis's little pet!" he hisses. 'Maybe I should just live the Canis way, them I don't have to go through all of this!' he thought irritably. Then Canis's voice swells through his mind. 'No! that would be giving in,' he decides.

Lapping Wave opens her jaws and lets Lupus's voice come out. "Don't be afraid," Lupus rasps. "Don't give in." The young she-wolf shakes out her fur. "What does Canis want with you?" she whispers.

Fading Mist pads toward the clearing. "Wave," she calls to her daughter. "Battle training in the Hunting Grounds!" She spots Rising Ashes and curls her lip into a snarl. "Stay away from my daughter!" she snarls, smelling Xarinda scent on him, then leads her daughter to the Hunting Grounds.

"I don't know," Rising Ashes replies to Lapping Wave. He lopes off to his pack. He sees a glimmer of silver behind a tree trunk. He looks closer. It was his leg! "Don't put it on, do you want to kill your pack!?" He asks himself. But his thought over come him and with a loud crack, he shoves the leg back on. He gallops into the clearing and gathers with his pack.

Rising Ashes starts to practice his moves on a dark grey male twice his size. With a clubbing swipe, with pack mate is on the ground. He walks over to the loner pack. "May I fight with you?" he growls. Canyon shows a toothy grin. "So be it," she growls.

Red Willow launches herself at one of Canyon's wolves. She swipes at its ear and leaps back before it can retaliate. It lunges at her with clumsy paws, and she springs into the bushes, then catapults herself at the wolf, touching down on his muzzle and shoving him into the ground and landing on his shoulders. "How was that for training?" she boasts. Meanwhile, River Stone charges through the crowd, shouldering wolves to the ground with his massive size and strength. He sinks his fangs into a loner, and pushes him into the ground. Meanwhile, Silver Rose fights side by side with Falcon Talons, slashing at a Xarinda wolf's face with rounded paws and not claws. Fading Mist fights two wolves at once, and is joined by Star. "We're all making great progress in training," she growls to Star through gritted teeth. Lapping Wave blinks. The scales in front of her tilt wrong. She weaves her way up onto a large boulder, and howls, "STOP!" Every wolf pauses and looks at her. "Er," she begins, embarrassed. "We can't fight like this! We're allies! This is preparation for the actual battle, so we can't afford any injuries now. Not through fighting each other during training anyways!" she blurts. Lapping Wave takes a deep breath to steady herself. "From now on, we must curl our lips around our fangs when we bite each other in training and cover our claws. We have to fight with rounded lips and paws." She looks at the looks of outrage on the faces below. "Not in battle!" she adds quickly. "Only in training so that we're prepared without weakening ourselves with wounds." The scales tilt right.

Fading Mist dips her head and calls, "Very well." Lightning Strike swings his head around to face the Qakaarti wolves. "Understand?" he yowls to them. Howls of agreement meet his words. Lapping Wave bounds over to Glowing Ember, a Xarinda wolf. "Train?" she invites. The Xarinda wolf nods and together they train with soft lips and round paws.

Rising Ashes hates every wolf in the Qakaarti pack. Once he has trained, he goes to find Lapping Wave. "Should we restart?" he growls.
