Earth is slowly, but surely becoming a frozen wasteland. Humans have died off, unable to handle the cold. Without the humans, animals are free to do as they please. However, there isn't a whole lot else they can do when they're fighting to survive. Animals are forced to band together in groups to get to warmer climates. Most often the groups are comprised of herbivores or carnivores, but there are always those that don't quite fit the mold. The three main groups in Canada are Ragingfang (carnivores), Swiftfoot (herbivores), and Unity (mixed).

Dusk sat on top of the large rock in the middle of his group's campsite, basking in the warmth rays of the sun while everybody else slept. They'd fought long and hard against Swiftfoot and Ragingfang a couple weeks back, and any rest they got now was the best reward they could receive. They never knew when they'd get it again.

Dusk couldn't help feeling prideful of his group, they were like family. Everyone pitched in and played their part to make their days go smoother. Truly, was there any other name for his group than the one that already existed?

"Running low on moss...not good. I could have sworn I had some laying about!" The Lynx hissed as she searched her den for the tricky plant. "Found it!" She pounced on the plant. "You won't escape me this time!" She joked grabbing it in her mouth and putting it on the bottom rock ledge. "I need a bit more cobwebs as well, gettin. A bit low on them as well." Chara sighed trotting out of the den into the freshly laid snow. It was so pretty and clean no foot prints any where...too bad. With a leap she sped forward tearing into the snow like a kitten in its prime, sending flakes flying int all direction before she came to a panting stop. Happy with her work she trotted up to Dusk's den. "Dusk?" She called. "I'm headed out to the forest. Would you like to come with me?"

Dusk smiled gently, humming in thought before answering, "As lovely as a morning walk through the fresh snow sounds, I think I'm going to have to decline. It seems that no one else has quite woken up yet, and someone needs to stand watch. Correct?"

He looked at the medic, "Though, I wish you good luck in finding what you need."

"Oh..." Chara said a bit disappointed. "I understand. Thank you. I hope you luck and peace as well. I shall return shortly." The Lynx nodded before dashing off into the woods. The problem with the cold was that it killed everything that couldn't handle the cold so no more spiders. As good as that sounded it was bad for the sake of medicine. No cobwebs, no why to stop bleeding. So what was she to do? She had searched for what had seemed like hours with no more luck than before. That was not good...at least she had a small rabbit to take back, it wasn't the best but it would do. Slowly Chara made he way back to the groups den sight and to Dusk's den. "I return Dusk. Here..." She offered him the rabbit. "We-we have a slight problem..."

"Thank you, Chara. What's wrong? You aren't usually so gloomy," Dusk asked, a concerned look on his face.

"With the temperature dropping many of the other species that can't deal with the cold are dying, correct?" Chara more or less asked. "Point is I'm out of cobwebs and all the spiders are dead. With out cobwebs I can't help anyone. I'm unsure what to do..."

"That is quite the dilemma," he frowned.

He then clicked his claws on the stone under him, as if struck with an idea, "I think I remember my mother once using something other than cobwebs to stop bleeding cuts when I was a cub. She said it was something called Witch Hazel. Do you know what that is?"

The She fox was around Unity's territory, if not in. She was digging up moss and herb. She had remembered going into the healer's den at night and taking some moss, misplacing it in the act. She had erased her scent, making sure not to leave a mark except for the moss. She spotted a mouse, and quickly finished it up. Suddenly, a squirrel jumped onto her back, making her screech. She covered her mouth with a paw and muttered "What have I done?" then, erasing her tracks and scent, she raced off of Unity's territory, large amounts of moss in her mouth. She dropped them in SwiftFoot's Healer Den.

"I've seen it before, yes but I suspect that there may be more than meets the eyes going on around here. More than once have I seen a pair or two of fox prints at our boarders. I'm not saying that they have anything to do with the disappearance of my supplies but someone has been. They have taken moss and cobwebs that i know of, there is no telling what else. If you allow it I would like to put a guard by my den to insure the safety of the clan." Chara said ears perked up.

"And got you!" The wolverine growled pouncing on the fox from his perch in the tree. The fox jumped and ran off half her moss falling from her mouth. Sebastian laughed rolling about in the snow. "That will teach you to mess with Unity!"
