The Saviors of Kareev

[Archen]

First topic message reminder :

Sled Team Leader: Archen First spot: Tikaani (High strength. Need a stronger in the front.) Second spot: Yuki (Rather high intelligence. Helpful to those in the front when something is needed.) Third spot: Snowy (Mix of useful skills that should be put closer to the front.) Fourth spot: Ebony (High speed, so closer to front.) Fifth spot: Sixth spot: Seventh spot: Sammy (High Strength. Need a strong dog in back to help pulling.) Eighth spot: Erin (High Intelligence. Just as we have one in the front, we need one in the back.) Current location: In a large ravine between two mountains. Current status: Richard and Darlene are in the hospital. The wolves have been asked to leave town until night time.

Tikaani howled in triumph as he felt the sled move. He began to run faster to speed up the sled. Already the wonderful sensation of pulling a sled was setting in. Wind swept through his fur.

[Archen]

Archens tongue lolled out of his mouth as he began panting. The sled becoming easier to pull as the momentum began to build up. All of the dogs working together in harmony to make it across this harsh landscape. The house was only right outside of town, so the town was quickly within sight of the wolves. The small wooden buildings covered the large open area. Small roads with tons of people on them.

Richard continued watching over the dogs. There was no need for commands on such a short journey to town. They were well trained enough to get him there with no problem. As the sled entered town, the town folk instantly knew what was going on. They clapped and cheered for the dogs as they passed through the streets. They were the sign of the towns hope. It was up to them to save them. However, a large amount of the towns citizens didn't like using wolves for such a task. They would much rather see the beasts killed.

[Snowflower]

Yuki smiled. She ran faster and faster. But eventually, she had to keep pace with the others so she slowed down a bit to keep the pace.

[Seaspray]

Tikaani was now pulling the sled with ease. His tongue lolled out of his mouth with the joy of sled-pulling. He barked as the sled passed the citizens of the town.

[Archen]

As the sled came to a stop, allowing the wolfs to rest, both of the Masters got off and walked inside the hospital. Leaving the wolves outside, harnessed to the sled.

A few of the small children rushed outside, smiling at the animals as they walked closer. The children had been taught to fear wolves and to not pet them. They were slightly frightened seeing them attached to the sled. The kids spotted Tikaani though and a small smile spread across their face. They walked over to the familiar dog and began petting him, their small hands caressing his head and back with admiration.

A few of them men standing near the sled giving terrifying and harsh looks to the wolves as if saying, 'leave now, your kind does not belong'

[Seaspray]

Tikaani smiled as the children approached. He gently nuzzled them and licked their faces, oblivious to the humans' dislike of his wolf teammates.

[Snowflower]

Yuki chuckled. "Don't get too attached to them Tikaani."she said. She looked at the men and huffed, not even bothered to growl, bark or snarl at them.

[Archen]

Archen turned back and chuckled at Tikaani who was being bathed with the childrens affection. "Let him enjoy it. Hopefully once we all get back, the town will have a new opinion for you wolves. Just persevere for now and tough through it."

Darlene walked out with a small handful of jerky. She slowly padded around the wolves, handing each of them a piece. "Well, let's do our best everyone. The jerky is a little present from the doctor to get your spirits up. Apparently they put some of their highest quality meats into it. Don't let it spoil you though." She said with a small snicker as she walked back to sled and waited for Richard.

[Snowflower]

Yuki ate the jerky happily. She licked her lips as she finished the jerky. "Are we going anywhere else?"she asked.

[Seaspray]

Tikaani hungrily snapped up the jerky. He smiled as he watched the children finish petting him and skip away. But there was a scent in the air that disturbed Tikaani--the scent of disease.

[Archen]

Richard walked out with a small frown on his face, something was obviously troubling him but tried to hide it. He walked next to the sled and hopped on the back, not caring much for talking.

Darlene saw Richard and felt sadness for him. Something must have happened after she left but she decided to wait and ask later. She hopped on the sled and waited.

The various kids and adults backed away from the sled, allowing it more room to leave. People could be seen in their windows coughing and wheezing. A pale complexion on each one as they looked upon the wolves, a slight trace of hope lingering deep inside of them.

Richard whistled again at the top of his lungs, signaling the well trained wolves to mush.

Archen ears perked to the noise. "It's time to get to work people. Let's give it all we have and get to Briggs. We're the strongest and most reliable set of animals this town has to offer, let's not let this town down." He dug his paws into the snow and began pulling with all of his strength.

[Snowflower]

Yuki used her strength and started pulling. The sled already started to move this time. She ran faster and faster, trying hard to reach their current destination.

[Seaspray]

Tikaani snapped back into focus after interacting with the children and began to help to pull the sled. His hind paws threw up snow as he ran.

[Bautzi]

Sammy glanced over to Richard as he walks to the sledge. He still chews on that delicious jerky he got from Darlene earlyer. Richard seems to be unhappy about something. Sammy snaps out of his thoughts as he hears the whistle. He swallows the rest of his jerky that he was chewing on and starts pulling with all his might. The sledge moved and he starts running, he loves the fresh wind that is flowing trough his thick fur and begins to smile in joy.


(i hate my timezone... but good rp so far Archen i really like the way you write things, you should start writing books! Oh and plz tell me if i make mistakes!)

[Seaspray]

Tikaani was pulling the sled in earnest now. The sensation of sheer joy from sled pulling kept him from feeling fatigue. However, whenever he did feel tired, the alaskan malamute remembered that he and his teammates were the town's and the children's last hope. That kept Tikaani going.

[Archen]

Approaching in the distance was two different paths. The area had been unexplored until now so they were unaware of what awaited them on this journey.

The path to the left, obviously led them to the east which they needed to be headed south. It appeared to be safe and more open, it would probably take longer as well as being safer. However, the people at the town need the medicine soon.

The other heading directly south where we need to go. Thick trees scattered everywhere with two large mountains in their way, however, there was a small ravine that ran between them that could be used for making it through. It was shorter, but much more difficult to traverse.

Richard tapped his fingers against the sled, unsure of which way to take. He didn't want to put their own lives at risk, but he didn't want the town people to suffer more. He gave out a loud command, letting Archen know he could choose.

Archen frowned slightly knowing the choice had been dropped on him. He turned back the others, maintaining his run. "What do you guys think? Which path should we take?"

[Rosaleena]

"I think the left," Ebony said. She wasn't sure; she didn't get a piece of jerky either. She sighed and waited for a command.

[Bautzi]

Sammy barked calmly over to Archen "I would take the hard way since we have to be fast for the people that are sick". "But i will follow you regardless wich path you will choose" he barked softly letting him know that he can rely on Sammy.

[Seaspray]

Tikaani hesitated. He wanted to take the easier way and not risk the lives of him and his teammates, but Sammy had a point. "Right...I think." Like Ebony, he was unsure.

[Rosaleena]

Ebony looked at Archen, and at the masters, and back at Archen. She waited for his command.

[Snowflower]

"Follow the scent of sick and weak."she said. "In which path do you smell that?"she said and raised her nose into the air.

[Rosaleena]

"..." Ebony sighed and yawned. She waited for a command.

[Seaspray]

"Let's just go to the right." Tikaani growled. Once he was sure of a descision, he would defend it.

[Archen]

Archen listened as the others gave him multiple answers. Before he could think them through and choose one, he heard the growl of Tikaani behind him. Whether he was right or wrong, he seemed rather sure of himself. Archen veered off to the right, slowly entering the thick treeline. Small branches poking out between trees that would hit the wolves who weren't ready for them. The snow becoming thinner under the cover of the trees making the grip on the ground stronger, but the sled wasn't sliding as easy.

Richard simply nodded as the others chose this path. Hopefully it was the correct one, the last thing we need in for one of us to get injured.

As we continued to progress under the trees, the large ravine presented intself nearly a mile in front of us.

Archen lifted his head slightly, "Let's pray this is the right way." He said softly, frowning slightly as he thought of the outcome if they did fail.

[Rosaleena]

Ebony nodded and started to pull again. "This is the right way," she chuckled. She could feel the ice getting thinner and thinner and she wasn't sure about this.
