Peaches was arrogant. She ignored any failures or not, and continued within her rampage of messing with wolves. But she didn't like the ocean, it smelled, and there was ugly bastards there that fought back with a giant cat. She hated cats. Their claws were too sharp and they didn't even taste good, not like wolves. Her papa was gaining more upon the pit, that she discovered! Her prizes and treasures, and she wanted to bring more within.

Watch them scream as they watched her kind scream.

As arrogant as she was, the white piglet had no issues waltzing straight into Northfall. Oink, oink, so goes her snout as the hideous smell was within their reach.

"Help, help! My mama is stuck!" and she cried, and cried..

The woman had been walking around, not really having a destination in mind. For the most part, she was simply getting some exercise. What she wasn't expecting though, was to see a small, white boar walk directly into Northfall's borders, only a few feet away from her. She thought for a moment about snagging a easy meal, but stopped as she heard the girl call out for help. 

With thoughts of eating the girl far behind, she would move quickly forward, a sort of a waddle towards the piglet. "It'll be okay, maybe I can help. Where is your mama?" She would glance behind her, wondering if she should go get one of the males of the pack to help, as they would have much better chance in doing so than her.

As another came to and voiced with a warmth and worry, her thoughts smiled ever so delightly. Especially as she gazed through the other with eyes full of tears ; the wolf before her was pregnant! Papa would definitely be proud if she did this right. What kind of fucking pack wouldn't bargain for their wolf? Weren't like.. Wolves harem-like too or something. So surely the baby daddy was the King.

Something like that. Didn't matter, Peaches got it in the bag.

"Oh miss! My mama fell down a cave! She's injured! Come quick! Please.. Can you help her?" She squeeled and oinked between sobs. The cave, also, obviously being one where they hosted the warwhores. But if she drew this whore close enough, then the rest of the hogs can block her. She held a giggle.

Peaches was a great actor after all. She started to turn with a desperate oink to lead the pack-wolf to the area.

The woman was torn on what to do, glancing back and forth between the piglet and deeper into her home. It would be much smarter for her to go find Ragnar or someone else to help, but she also didn't even know where the mother was. Finally, she decided she would at least see where the girl's mother was stuck and than go get help. Turning to look at the child, she would offer a kind smile, not knowing that the girl was simply playing her. "Come on, show me where your mama is." She would wait for the girl to start walking before following her, her guard relatively down. 

If it had been anyone else asking for her aid, she might have kept her guard up or even refused, but instead she didn't see anything bad about helping a child. She was a mother after all, and her want to help children was high.

 Valmúa did not hear a young animal in trouble. What she heard was squealing from a boar in Northfall. Boar had quickly become one of her favourite treats after meeting @Kuhn, who hunted them frequently in the woods nearby. On a tear, the fire woman threw herself toward the sound, her nose in the air, tongue testing for some delightful promise of a meal.
 Seeing Serenity, the red woman did not stop, but rather came at the pig from the side while the pregnant leftover of dragons had the beast distracted. Her step was heavy, her teeth flying open to tackle the youngster.
 All she needed now was an apple.

Many times before they had pulled off this scam.  Gro'Mash wasn't exactly sure how peaches did it. Nor did he really like the fact that she was putting herself in danger.  But sweet little peachie was so smart and daddy was certainly proud.   The massive swine sat nearby, watching his sweet little darling like a proud, yet dull parent at his child's beauty pageant.  

A rotten smile spread across the swine's tusked face as sweet peaches was successfully luring in one of those stupid creatures. Soon he would gore and stomp, and then dad and daughter would root together in the gore.  

That was until -she- came.  Stupid red wolf came bolting in straight for sweet peaches.  Daddy could wait no longer, busting from the nearby brush, he crashed and snapped through bushes and branches as if they where cobwebs. "No touch Peachie!",  he squealed, ejecting foul spittle from his rotten maw.  

With no hesitation, the pig charged single minded, his hulking tusks angled forward like great spears.  His vision was flaming red and in its center was @Valmúa.  If he could he would impale the red wolf.  Wolf was foolish, so wolf shall die!

She was watching from a distance like she normally did, keeping herself hidden from the wolves until it was time to strike. However, this time it seemed like everything went wrong. They had their sights set on the pregnant whore, but then another, aggressive bitch decided to come along and try to eat peaches! No one tried to eat her daughter. Almost instantly she rushed forward along with Gro'Mash, intent on killing this idiotic welp. As the king went for her side, the queen aimed for the woman's front, aiming to cut her off from peaches entirely. She didn't mind if she got hit, but she aimed her tusks towards the wolf, aiming to do damage as well. 

She saw red as she snorted, knowing that the others would help without them being told. Her and King's goal was to protect them, and that included peaches. She also didn't want to loose the pregnant wolf though, and knew that the others could handle the whore.

It worked almost every single time. Wolves were inferior creatures, blessed with what limited intellect rocked between the narrow confines of their angular heads. Swine-kind deserved to rule over all things, blessed be their tusks of iron, whereas the petty canines with their wagging tails and drooling lips and lolling tongues were but obstacles to be overcome and consumed.

Grimwald believed in the cycle of nature.

He especially believed in the cycle of wolf death.

As Peaches worked her childlike magic against the pregnant she-dog, he waited silently within an alcove of the cave's entrance, a black shadow against the swirling darkness that beckoned. A sound drew his attention, and he glanced a beady eye up and out to see another wolf tearing a path down the mountainside with jaws parted like the slavering beast she was.

He snorted, unimpressed. Gro'mash and Zifyne could handle the bitch.

From where he stood, concealed within the recess of his hiding place, he waited until his charge had fully lured in their prey before he stepped - making precious little noise, for one of his monstrous size - in front of the cavern's mouth, blocking all potential for escape.

“Excellent work, my princess,” he articulated pleasantly, his muscular form a broad silhouette against the cold light of day. He was immovable - unstoppable.

“Thou might consider remaining within, for our comrades without are presently...” he snorted, his breath coming out in a steaming puff. “Engaged. It will not be long.”

With a red devil charging, Peaches screamed at the top of her lungs with the surprise counter. She thought she was about to day ; but of course Peaches had the luck of Gods. No one could kill her, not with her daddy! Now that she was torn away and blocked by the demon, the piglet oinked and laughed loudly, "fool! Now we will take your woman and more!" 

Now she stood in front of Serenity, triumphed, "you are our prisoner!"

The woman had a bad feeling about this, but couldn't just leave the small girl out here alone. The moment she walked into the cave though, all hell seemed to break loose. Another of her pack came towards the piglet, trying to attack her. Then two much larger and scarier boars came out to protect the child. Instantly, Serenity started to back up, wanting out of the cave and out of this situation. However, as she turned around, she was greeted by another, rather viscous looking boar blocking her way. 

With ears pinned back, she would snarl at him. She thought about trying to push past or jump over him, but with a weary eye to his tusks, she thought against it, not wanting to risk her pregnant belly. Instead, she would snap at him, not trying to actually hit him, but simply trying to get him to back away from him. The other two were busy with protecting the piglet, so maybe she could get around this one. 

Snapping her jaws in the air in front of her, she would try to step forward, aiming to move herself around the boar in any way to get herself an opening to leave.

 Valmúa was close enough to be in striking distance when out of nowhere, two massive boars came to protect what she assumed was their progeny. The apparently injured young pig was not so, and the red woman moved to make a hard turn and retreat. She was not stupid; hopefully neither was Serenity. They were, even together, no match for two adults.
 The easy meal escaped her; she was blockaded by one of the ugly beasts just as a huge male rushed for her side. Swerving, one of her claws broke as she pressed hard into the ground. Switching direction abruptly and unable to avoid tusks bashing against her even while she moved.
 She let out an anguished growl, lucky that her ribs hadn't been broken. Valmúa rushed forward, darting a good distance away before she turned hesitantly. She had hoped that Serenity would have followed her lead, but the dumb beasts had been too quick for her. They had trapped the pregnant woman intentionally, it seemed. Valmúa watched the boars circle her, realizing helplessly that she had abandoned too quickly.
 She gave a sharp, alarming howl, moving back with a cautious approach as she lowered her head in the hopes to run back and taunt them. All they needed was an opening for Serenity, but she was one wolf, and she would not be enough.

Sindri had already been made aware of their little boar problem. Apparently it was more of a problem than she had originally planned for. Where before there was three including a piglet, there was now four. Sindri sprinted to the side of Valmúa, who's intention was to rally the pigs away- but from what?

Looking to the cavern opening ahead, she could see the tri-colored form of Serenity. Fuck. First it was Walrus kidnapping wolves, now a horde of boars... in the north!?

Sindri lifts up her muzzle, sending out another alert for her members to get the fuck over here. Maybe @Chantico , @Kuhn and even @Aarkron great size could be put to use.

He was already on the move when the first howl called for aid. He didn't know the voice who summoned anyone to come help and he didn't know why it was so necessary... but he moved. Dropping his little parcel down and swiftly began on the journey to find whoever was calling - it was Sindri's voice who made him stop. Made him question and pause as he pondered if it was wise to make an appearance... His paws wished to move forward, the momentum clearly in his posture as he leaned forward, but it was his mind who questioned the reasons for this summons.

Fuck it.

He growled to himself, pushing forward regardless and cutting through the dirt and snow beneath his paws as he charged.

There wasn't much time to assess the situation as he came running over from the distance. Quickly he could see the pregnant Serenity caught behind some aggressive-looking boars, Sindri and some other woman circling around as he assumed they were trying to figure out a way to get her out of there... And he didn't stop his approach. Aarkron instead rushed forward even faster than before, wasting no time to insert himself in the situation and hopefully take the pigs by surprise enough to scatter them away from Serenity (who as far as he was concerned, didn't heed his warnings and put herself in danger stupidly).

Four pigs he counted before trying to bulldoze his way through the small grouping of bodies, attempting to take their attention away from the pregnant woman and onto him. Snapping at their fat asses or any piece of their skin he could see during the fray. He could only hope Serenity was quick enough to make her escape now and keep running instead of risking herself and those puppies she oh so cared for any further.

Stupid redfur sharpfang: fast.  She not run in straight line and that not fair.  Where the woman would have been a swipe of a impaling tusk whiffed by her skinning the bark off a tree.  Squealing in anger his large frame sent his momentum directly in a straight line ahead, hard to turn when so big.

His squealing rage only intensified as pain shot up his large ass.  Pivoting his massive tusked head around @Aarkron had gotten a piece of him, now Gro'mash:  big, pretty ass, bleed.  Also not fair,  Gro'Mash not looking.

Stupid sharpfang make dumb holwie sound, Gro'Mash not like howlie sound, also really hate ass biter. 
Without using any more braincells the massive swine made another direct charge intending to trample over both @Aarkron and @Sindri.  If nothing else, this could disperse the warriors while the rest of the swine clan, could rush off with their hostage.

The queen saw the woman understand quickly that this wasn't a winning fight. Good. She had at least gotten that through the bitches thick skull. A guttural sound came from her as the wolf called for others, watching them come to the pregnant woman's aid. She paid no mind to the pregnant whore and her thieves behind her, trusting them enough to snag the woman. Instead, her and the king would focus on keeping the others at bay. 

Rushing forward, she would attempt to ram into Valuma, ready to turn on a dime and help out the king with the other two if needed. Her mind was made up as she attacked, not going to stop attacking until the wolves left, leaving their precious pregnant bitch in their clutches. For a moment, Zifyne wondered how important their newest captive was, noting how many came to her aid. 

Interesting.

Grimwald watched with a calculated gaze as his kinsmen set to work distracting the slavering beasts. Disgusting, he thought to himself, noting the awkward way they lunged and gnashed their long, yellowed fangs, spittle flying out with every snap. Wolves were truly something else - he wondered what purpose they even served in creation except to fill the beautiful silence with their strangled cries they called a howl.

Better off without them.

With a snort, confident their attention was directed elsewhere, he turned to Serenity and locked eyes for a terrifying moment.

“It is time for us to take our leave, thou wretched thing,” he uttered in a low voice.

Then, with a surprising swiftness given the boar's size, Grimwald charged through the chaos, dipped his head, and ducked beneath her swollen stomach; he then stood at full height, lifting her off the ground in one swift motion. He turned to cast a beady eye toward her frightened expression. “Thou wilt not move from my back,” he said darkly, “Or I shall gore thy pups from thy stomach.”

And, like a shadow, slipped away with his prize.

Everything was happening so fast that she really didn't know what to do. Others had come to her aid, but the two larger boars seemed intent on keeping everyone else occupied. Even as she swiped and bit at the boar in front of her, it didn't deter him at all. Instead, it seemed to spur him on as he lowered his head and ran right for her. 

Instantly she yelped out, thinking he was going to hit her in the stomach. However, he seemed to have other ideas as his head lowered enough to scoop under her. For a moment she was airborne before she landed harshly on his back. For a moment, as he ran away with her, she thought about fighting back, or thrashing around, but his threat hung over her head like a dark cloud. 

So, she just tensed up and stayed there, wiggling just enough to be able to grab onto the boar for dear life. Her claws, though not as sharp as a felines, would try to grip his flesh, not wanting to fall off of the creature.

 Quite immediately, Valmúa was targetted. Aarkron and Sindri were fast on the scene, and one of the great hogs that had been after her tore over the thinned grass and shrubs to gore them, too. Valmúa's attention was forced to one of the others. Getting Serenity out of there was the priority, but as she tried to look toward the woman who had once been of dragons, another boar threw its angry tusks at her.
 What had started as an easy attempt at a meal had quickly morphed into something sinister. Her memory took her back to the walruses whom had kept @Olive for themselves for reasons she would never understand.
 She was forced to run from the conflict, narrowly avoiding the tusks of another brutish boar once again. The foul odour of the beast's breath flooded the back of her legs and sent terrible shivers through her spine as she ran. Kuhn was the expert at adult boars, but these ones were massive, perhaps so large that even he might struggle.
 She ran until she could not feel or hear the animal that chased her, but by that time, Serenity was gone.

Can be my last!


And quickly did one member come, one which she had so disliked only to have found herself despising after their last (and first and would likely be only) discussion. Aarkon, whom Sindri was surprised came despite her being here. He didn't hesitate. Sindri could have easily thought he would have rather watched them fight until they begged for him to help them. But he did not. Aarkon charged forth, hoping to barrel into the fray enough to split the group of boars apart. A risky move, granted a boars tusks could shred you apart easily enough.

One went charging at Valmua, another to barrel over Aarkon and then herself. What went from a possibility of hunting down the boars for good eating became suddenly very sour. There would be no hunt today, for it seemed at this moment the prey was hunting them.

Aarkon having drove head first into the crowd would be the first the largest boar of the group aimed to topple over and Sindri moved swiftly to avoide the oncoming beast then after her. She ran, dodging to the side and away as she saw Serenity being whisked away. “Serenity!!!” The little huntress cried out to her and though Sindri ran back and forth like a dog behind a fence, she could not break past the herd of boar which seperated them further and further from one another.

A wolf of Northfall had been stolen.
