The clearing the Forsaken were gifted and now call home rustles with the gentle breeze of a cold mild night. Tur is quiet except for the occasional sounds of insects making their way through the night.
Then a low bark echos across the veil between worlds onto Tur.

Kevin is curled up in Urhan, his nose covered by his tail. His ears flicker in the direction of the sources of the noise. He had been napping when something woke him some minutes ago. With a snort, he uncurls himself and as he yawns, shakes his head while sitting up.
For the next few seconds, he's a little busy stretching to pay much mind to his surroundings.

Steel has been sitting in the tur for a while now. The Rahu is in his human form rather than near-man for once. It's odd but he almost seems contemplative. Luna only knows what the new Alpha is thinking.
The bark gets his attention, shaking him from his thoughts. He looks up, glancing over to his nearest packmate.
"You hear that too?" he asks, his brow furrowing.
Could just be a dog wandering on the other side. Steel knows it's stupid to even think it's something that harmless, but for once he just wants something to not devolve into a disaster so soon after it started going well.
Jessie looks up from a book he was studying looking around to try to find the sound they were listening for, then he jumped as he heard it with his 'other' ears. Faint, but there. "Ffffff-Fierce Defender," he inquired his two packmates, looking towards Steel for confirmation and orders.

Steel nods to Jessie. Truth be told, his mind was close to jumping to that also.
"We'd better go make sure everything's okay," Steels says, clambering to his feet.
Shifting to Urshal
Steel collapses forward, his body exploding into shaggy, black fur as he assumes the near-wolf form. With a quick bark to the others he sets out toward's Fierce Defender's call.

Kevin watches as Steel Gaze assumes Urshal, he gives Jess an inquiring look for a few seconds before his form grows larger as he also assumes Urshal and then takes off after Steel, being sure not to over take Steel Gaze but pace with him once he's within a comfortable distance behind the Alpha. He wonders if it really is Fierce Defender or something mimicking its cries. Or it could be a totally different Dog Spirit altogether. He thinks as his back paws hit the ground and his front ones lift up off the ground.
Jessie quickly pushed the book into his backpack and scrambled to get to his feet, pulling at the 'muscle' to cause his own shift.
Only to land flat on is face as he completely goofed. He could faintly hear his teacher's "tut tut tut" in disappointment. He makes a mental note to practice more later. For now, he pushed himself up off the ground and did his best to keep up with the other two.

Steel Gaze and Kevin can easily make out a large dog sitting at the edge of Tur. The animal lowers its head and sniffs at the rough edge of the sacred space. An ear switches and it looks up at the approaching wolves. Tensing the black mastiff lowers its head and spreads its legs. Paws pushing into the ground ready to move.
It lets out a low bark like the one heard across Tur once again.

"That is definitely not Fierce Defender," Steel thinks as he pulls to a stop.
The Alpha of the Sky Wardens sizes up the creature before him. Whatever it is, he can't seem to get a feel for its strength. He hangs back as the dog spots them, motioning to the others to stop.
Steel rises onto his hind legs, feeling his body slip naturally into the near-man form.
<<Weren't expecting visitors tonight,>> he calls out to the dog. <<Just who might you be?>>

Coming to a slow walk before he comes to a stop to Steel Gaze's right. Kevin uses Read Spirit on the Dog Spirit before them. He's hoping for a name at the very least, as his listens to the Lunes whisper in his ear.
