"Sage! theres only one more! you have to push!" Pine said, trying to be supportive. Sage had just given birth to 3 healthy pups and now there was one left and she was exhausted!Eventually the last puppy was born and Sage collapsed onto the dark cave floor. As the puppies suckled she looked at them adoringly. There were 2 girls and 2 boys, accept one of the males, the last born was very fragile and looked as if he would die. After hours of struggling he finally came through and looked as if he would survive, for this he was named River, for the river that cuts through the packs territory was strong, never letting anything slow it down, always pushing through. Another reason was the puppies fur and eye color, both were an enchanting blue-gray and white mixture.
They named they other pups as well. The first born, a female with dark brown, almost black fur and black eyes was named Nightshade. Her brother, the 2nd born was named Quill, for he was dark brown and his fur was thick and strong like the quills of a porcupine. and finally the 3rd, A piercing blue-gray female with clear blue, almost white eyes. Was called Frost, as in winter when the frost covers all the trees and devourers all the ground.
The new life in the pack was celebrated, because a new pack, smaller than theres but growing had just moved to a territory right outside theres. "Once my children are trained they will help us defeat these intruders and we will be safe again!" howled Pine, he was the alpha, head of the pack alongside his mate Sage. The other members of the pack all shared the jobs like hunting and patrolling the territory, sometimes they had to babysit the puppies too.
