A little orange-red figure could be seen walking through the tall grass, his black tipped ears were pricked forward, alert for anything or anyone...particularly, butterflies. The little pup named Derby sniffed the air for the scent of the multi-colored bugs, but he could not sense any. Disappointed, the pup sighed and walked on with his head hung low. It has only been a few weeks since he was kicked out of his former pack. Derby was small, or at least smaller than most pups should be. being the runt, he was left to starve and die. But he didn't, he had survived and was still lurking for a new pack. Derby could not howl loudly, but he could howl greatly. Lifting his white maw into the air, the wolf pup howled his song of sadness, hoping that a pack could pick it up.
Lune was roaming around the territory, searching for Set. She had come to really like, or love, the flirtatious wolf. He was no great alpha or anything, but he was a sweetheart and a romantic. Inhaling the air, she searched for any signs of him. Lune could have sworn she heard a howl in the distance, but she ignored it, covering it up with her own howl for Set.

Bones creak audibly in the distance as the female slowly padded within the forest, alone as always. Her dusty ivory pelt stood out in the forest, for it was lush with vibrant greens as the flowers bloomed around her. Ears perked forward, she paused to take in the world around her - listening in on the sounds of the forest as the breeze disturbed her gray-whiskers upon her muzzle.
Just before she wished to begin her journey again, the wind carried an unfamiliar tune to her ears... one of a pup. With a sense of urgency, Byorn's brittle legs carried her frame as fast as it would go, to aid the lone pup, if needed. Closer she came, as she pressed her snout to the ground and inhaled the pups scent as she finally came across him.
"Are you alright?" She said, her voice smooth and shaky.

Set wanders, as often he does, stalking in the lush open areas near the rive for mice and fowl. He does not see the black tipped ears until he pounces, just as a howl escapes the small figure. He howls in surprise himself before recovering "Oh my! You're not a bird now are you Young fellow?" he chuckles and backs up some looking at the small one, just a pup. "I'm Set, and this is Cross Roads, are you lost?"
He does not smell like Hive, nor Cross Roads. Who does he belong to? Ah well, Set has found him, Set will watch him. Yay!

Derby growled at Bones and Set, terrified at what these two wolves might do to him. Addreniline pumping, Derby pounced onto Set and bit his leg. "And the all mighty Derby lunges at the monster!" he mumbles with a mouth full of leg.
Lune smelt Set and immediately ran towards the scent. The closer she the, the more she smelt....pup? Curious, Lune began to sprint as fast as she could, her small white paws made loud thuds as they hit the soft ground. Upon entering the tall grass, she spotted Set, Bones, and Derby who, sadly, thought he was winning a fight.

Set tried to dance away yelping and confused, there was another, oh lord! Was this his mother?! No she asked something. Ow! OW! He tried to shake Derby off and smelled Lune, then saw her. He gave a short howl, in the hope that she help him.
He does not want to hurt the pup, oh god how un-suave he looks! There is Luna and this new female to, Oh lord! Save him some face!

Lune laughed to herself as she watched Set dance around. Walking over to Derby, she grabbed him by the scruff and set him down, giving him a hard glare to not do it again. Lune walked over to Set and sat next to him, her fur gently brushed against his. Lune bent her head down and began to lick at Set's small teeth wound from Derby.
Derby was angry that the wolf had survived his attack. /I will get you..next time./ he thought deviously. Pricking his ears forward, he remembered that the male and other she-wolf asked him a question. "I am fine and I am Derby...Derby am I!" He puffed his chest up and held his head high, trying to look and sound tough.

How un-masculine! Oh how pathetic! Set despaired, but not much, nor long. There was new company, which was to wonderful to ignore. He perked up and nuzzled Luna a moment, glad to find she was not lost, before turning his attention to Derby and Byorn.
Set grins, sharp white teeth showing at the introduction from this small but fierce fellow, though he looks harmless enough despite this. "I'm Set young Master Derby. Is this fetching Female your mother?" He looks from Derby to Byorn in friendly questioned puzzlement. His hazel eyes glinting with friendly, almost childlike, innocence.

Lune nuzzled Set back as he talked to the young pup and listened in.
Derby threw his hears back and shook his head. "Pfft, I don't need no mother. I can do fine on my own, must I bit your leg again to prove this to you?" Derby made a tsk tsk tsk tsk sound and stared back at Set with his brown eyes. Because of the pride he had, he did not want to just come out and say that he wanted to join a pack. At the sight of a blue and black butterfly, Derby instantly pounced towards it, clawing at the air as he did so. HE loved butterflies, but just could not understand way. he began to muffle under his voice again. "And the great Derby swipes and bites at the great bird-raptor. It comes in for the kill...but what's this? Derby dodges its attack..ohhh.oohhh..."

Byorn watched as the others interacted with one another, as she was slow with responses, for her age did not work to her advantage at this moment. Her frame shaky and brittle, she reclined upon her rump as she kept a close eye on the others, for she was at least double some of their ages.
Being an extreme elder like she, was not easy since she was much, much older therefor more apt to be left behind much like the pup.
"I am Byorn... pleased to meet you all." She said quietly, but loud enough for perhaps the closer wolves to hear.

Set does turn to her and bows his head "Fair Lady Byorn, Welcome to the Cross Roads." He says in a polite, but loud way. "You are not with this rather frisky fellow, so you've come all your own?" his tail waves and his chocolate eyes are bright "You've come to a wonderful place may I say, the both of you. The Earth is pleased with this spot and graces it, presently, with peaceful times." he beams, proud at himself for saying this.
He has great pride for himself, and for Cross Roads since they took him in. He will be glad to run it as the Alpha with the moon daughter by his side.

Byorn dipped her head to Set who was a male she rather liked so far. He was a gentlemen and knew how to speak to new comers.
"Greetings, and yes. I have traveled on my own for quite some time now... but it gets rather lonely." she said as she reclined upon her achy bones. As she leaned backwards her bones cracked audibly, and as painful as it sounds... it was quite a relief for Byorn. Her gray eyes met Set's lively ones as he boasted about the land he lived upon.
"What brought you to this magnificent land, sir? My apologies for addressing you so blankly... what might your name be?" She asked him politely

Set grins and bows his head "I'm sorry dear seasoned Dame. I am Seti though go by Set, and this is Lune, Luna." He gives Luna a friendly playful look. "I came here near upon a year ago now as directed by our beautiful Earth, under the rule of the Beloved lady Tris. It is a peaceful place, aside from our neighbors who can be dangerous from time to time this land is safe for young and old." His movements, while a bit exaggerated are no less sincere, it's the way he holds himself that expresses this pup-like truthfulness.
He spies the gray tips of his tail flicking and snapped at it, the realized that it was his tail and looks chagrined but perks up again fast "Earth praised, Lady Byorn, shall you like to stay here? Or rest a while at least? I do promise you with all my heart that you only will meet friends in this territory."

Lune leaned against set and nudged him as he talked with Byorn. Her glance looked at nothing and her mine was blank, with the exception of thinking about Set's voice. She thought he was amazing, and with that, a romantic. She wanted to let him know about her feelings, but she was somewhat scared. Lune's tail made a slight nervous twitch.
Derby coughed, hoping to interrupt the two. "Hello? Can we all look back on me?!?!? Ya know...stranded, loner pup, no mother or pack, might die? This is supposed to be when you go, 'Would you like to join us oh great and honorable Derby?' and then I go 'Yes I would love to.'" Waiting impatiently, he fidgeted around.

He starts and looks around at Derby and actually frowns, it does not fit his face, and makes him look rather stern and unnatural. He leans close to Derby and looks him eye to eye, frown gone but stern face still there "Young Derby, you are impertinent. You are welcome to our home as much as the charming Byorn, but you shall learn manners. You need to respect your elders." His voice was actually on a managed level there.
He straitens and shakes his head some, a puzzled lift of the corners of his mouth shows through and he bows his head to the ladies. "I'm sorry you had to hear that my Fair females, but I do not tolerate such things to well." He bows his head again in apology, as though it's a grave offense.

She crookedly smiled as he introduced himself to her politely once again.
"I thank you for your genuine politeness, Set. And pleased to meet you, Lune." She said, dipping her gray-whiskered muzzle to them both. She knew, although she was an elder she had to treat them with great respects since they were the keeper of the land she stands on.
"If it is alright... I would like to reside within the territory. I am rather old, as you can see. I don't have a lot of years on me anymore." She said quietly, as she was ashamed of her age. "I could help with looking after the land, if you need me to help out."
