Asia stops and eyes him, "What do you mean 'not a pack'?" she asks, half frightened.

Keerse gnaws on his lower lip, staring off into this distance. His black brow furrows and his yellow eyes unfocus. After a moment he turns back to Asia and he shakes himself, his hackles rising. "They don't know. The smell...it isn't natural. We've never smelled it before." He shakes himself again and starts moving, "We have to get out of here now, Asia. There is something terribly wrong in this place."

Asia looks a bit dumbfounded at his response, but notes the seriousness in his voice. She begins to trot through the thick snow back to the packlands. Thoughts about who the killings were done by kept floating to her head. "What if they come to Minarron?" she says in a whipser. "If the scouts don't know what these... 'things' are, how will we possibly fight them off?"

Keerse matches Asia's trotting pace, his gray paws throwing snow about him. Worried thoughts run through his head as he tries to think of an answer to her question. He whines softly in the back of his throat, his distress obvious. "I don't know. I just don't know." He hates feeling helpless. "The alphas...they're holding a meeting when we get back," he says, trying to sound comforting and confident, "We'll figure something out."

"I'm not so sure you should be confident just yet..." Asia says, frowning slightly. Zygon had a reputation for being rash when it came to leading the pack into wars. "Zygon's not the best leader..." Asia said in a hushed tone.

"Asia," Keerse says sharply, "You shouldn't say such things about the Alpha..." He sighs. "You're right though, of course. I just...it scares me, Asia." He frowns further, his brow furrowing. "Not knowing what it is or what to do." He looks at her out of the corner of his eye, "If we had a better Alpha...but such talk is treason. And us the Betas. It's not good form, Asia."

"I know..." she sighs hastily, "I just feel so lost... and helpless." Asia closes her eyes and think for a minutes, "Keerse... are you sure that the smell is definelty something we have never encountered?" she asked with worried eyes.

Keerse trots a little closer to her, gently nosing her neck to comfort her, being careful not to trip over his paws. "I know, Asia. I feel the same way." As he slips away again he shrugs. "It doesn't smell like anything I've smelt before, but I could be mistaken. When we get back I'll have the Scouts show you. It never hurts to have more noses on the job." He sighs again. "I hope you can tell us what it is. I hate not knowing..."

"You're too hard on yourself," she said kindly. "... I'll just have to see when we get there." she sighed, still unsure about the safety of the pack.

"I just wish I knew what to do." He pauses and scents the wind. "We're nearly there."

"So do I... hopefull Zygon'll help." she responded, also catching scent of the packlands.

Keerse nodded slightly and quickened his pace as they headed into the packlands. He took a deep breath and howled as he ran, announcing their arrival.

Asia follows Keerse and quickens her pace aswell. Asia can see the black wolf, Zygon in the distance.

Keerse listens for Zygon's howl as the wind picks up again. He worries and wonders what the pack will decide about this strange new scent and the murders of the other pack of wolves.

Zygon spots his two betas and howls at them. Asia quickly repsonds, and begins to run towards the alpha.
