Dusk watched the Wolf leave and howled again. Making his warning firm.

Wiley went to the cave entrance. "Hi, Strider."
Strider stood up and went toward Wiley. "Willey?"
"I-I think I'm ready to let you see the cubs."
Strider grinned "Okay."
Wiley smiled and picked up the rabbit then she led Strider into the cave to see the pups.
Strider sniffed his cubs.
Wiley watched him anxiously. She knew Strider would never hurt the cubs but that didn't keep her from worrying.

Faruque sniffed Strider and yipped.
Analik whined.
Strider licked each pup's head. He looked at Wiley, "They're beautiful."
Wiley smiled and rubbed her head against his, "I know."

Strider smiled down at the little pup, "What are there names?"
"The one on your paw is Snip." Wiley pointed to Faruque, "That is Faruque." and then to Analik, "An this is Analik."
Analik whined again, as if in greeting.

Dusk padded down a trail bordering a somewhat steep cliff not bothering to hide his presence. He held his head high and it was perhaps this gesture that made him miss the slight hole in front of him. Nonetheless he stepped in it and tripped himself and he fell down the hill, rolling tail over snout in a rather undignified manner. The bushes scaped him and rocks poked him. When he finally came to a stop he could hardly move. The fall was too hard on his old body. He lay in the leaves emitting a low whine, unable to get up.

Nike woke up at the sound of the whine and went over to investigate.

Dusk's breathing was labored now and his vision was blurry.
Strider woke and gently pushed Snip away. He stood up and left the den.
Binti trotted down a trail, Jih behind her. They hadn't seen Dusk for awhile and were looking for him. Binti smelled the air again. She caught a sour smell mixed with fresh scent of Dusk, "I smell him! Come on." She tookjk off down the path, Jih right behind her.
