Hidenka River

A massive black dire walked on his lands, his large feet and claws made foot prints in the softer ground. He knew he was closing in on the Hidenka river. The lushery of the forest made his lands look peaceful and quite. His electric blue eyes sweeped over the canopies of the trees. It was a quite time of evening, nothing seemed out of place. But then the sound of a yowl echoed through the atmosphere that was shortly followed by a loud splash. "What the...?" he trailed of, his voice thick with confusion. Upon hearing the splashing sound he sped up his walk to a fast paced gallop. Within minutes he came to a halt, his royal blue eyes looking over everything. They soon landed on the pale tawny pelt of a cougar. His black lips peeled back reviewing large sharp deadly canines made for tearing flesh. A low gurgling snarl erupted from his chest and out his parted lips. His vocals vibrated constantly as he readied himself to attack. By now the cougar noticed him and let out a snarl of its own, it's large paws swiping at the air. The river was wide in this part of the woods. Right before the curve it is thinner, a much more safer way to pass through by jumping or swimming. The cougar didn't seem like it was going to do anything and just turned and left. Atticus didn't know if the tawny pelted beast acutally left but long as it was on the other side of the river he was fine. Wary but fine. His blue eyes looked over to see a wolf in the water. The currents looked strong but Atticus ignored it as his towering bulky frame wadded slowly into the cold water. He was up to his belly by the time he reached his kin. His powerful jaws snapped into the wolfs scruff and dragged them out. The current was stronger then he thought and with the extra weight he was hauling didn't exactly help the situation. The obsidian black male did slip and trip here and there but with I final push he managed to reach shore. He dropped the wolf on the ground before collapsing onto the ground. He was soaking wet and tired from his late afternoon swim. Once he regained feeling in his legs he stood and shook her pelt free of water. He sat down and gave the stranger a heated glare. He risked his life for this fea so she better have a good excuse for him.
"Speech!"

Atticus just stared blankly at the fea. It was like a sense of Déjà vu all over again except with another female and not Lillian. He watched her closely as she stood and shook her fur out, freeing it of the water. He ignored her apology, what was there to apologize for? She couldn't help that a cougar decided to come waltzing on the otherside of the river therefore causing her to jump into the river. "No need to apologize but what is your name?" He spoke in a scratchy rough voice yet it held a tinge of velvety smoothness in it. He cocked his head to the left, the spots on his muzzle in full view. He was curious as to how long this female was traveling for. It wasn't often that the male would leave his land unprotected to know what was going on outside his walls. It has been years now since he stepped foot out of the walls. After Sakura and himself took refuge here he stayed, claiming the land as his. If this wolf was looking for another like herself that must mean there weren't too many wolves out there. This place the male chose was quite and not many strangers came along. Occasionally some threats came but Addie chased them off. Shaking his head he cleared his thoughts before patciently waiting for a reply.
"Speech!"
