Previously:
Riverfell Hive Event: The VictoryAfter the unexpected arrival of Vektren, Riverfell’s forces were bolstered considerably. Together, the two packs were able to gradually gain the advantage, though it was nearly impossible to determine the best strategy for claiming ultimate victory over the battle. Each time one fight ended, another began in the distance as more Hive soldiers arrived from all directions throughout the afternoon. There was simply no predicting the scale of the enemy’s forces or how long they would need to work to drive them back out. Shiloh’s mind swam in a sea of worry and unanswered questions. There were brief intermissions between fighting for her to express those concerns and consult with Alice, Nimh, and the warlord Jaskier on the best course of action with the information currently available to them. Together, they tried to coordinate a way to secure the territory while also determining the end-goal of their enemy. Was this all just a distraction from something bigger? Was another General on the way with their own reinforcements to assist Sledge? And where, exactly, was Sledge? Shiloh noted her concern for his absence upon the battlefield to Nimh and Jaskier. It had become clear that the focal point of the Invasion was to bottleneck right here; East of the Sea’s Tail River and right at the doorstep of their den site. But why?,A plan was decided amongst the leaders and warlord to hunt down General Sledge at all costs. While both Riverfell and Vektren’s forces remained steadfast, they could not hold out forever. Fear of a second Invasion dominated the minds of their leadership as warriors from both sides were instructed to track down the orchestrator of these events and essentially ‘remove the snake’s head’ quickly. Reinvigorated with fresh determination and an ideal end goal in sight, the two packs of the Domain carried on even as the sun began its gradual fall toward the increasingly red horizon. Every now and then, a pack wolf returned to Shiloh and Nimh to report their findings before returning to the battlefield. And each time, General Sledge was never reported as being seen. In her heart, Shiloh knew something far more malicious was at play, as it wasn’t just the absence of Sledge that concerned her – it was the absence of some of Riverfell’s fiercest warriors. Howl, Deon, Sasha, Calumina...even Morgan and young, fiery Fiadh. Something just wasn’t right. But she could not leave the battle now to investigate their whereabouts or track down General Sledge herself. The forces of Riverfell needed her to stay strong and continue to guide them through this unprecedented scenario.Exhausted and rapidly running out of solutions and patience, Shiloh managed to find Nimh’s side again. Just as she was prepared to discuss a new strategy, a pair of Hive wolves appeared from behind them; though they made no effort to be discreet or conceal their approach. Instead, the look in their eyes was wild and…frightened? Preparing for the unexpected, the two Alphas readied themselves to receive the charging soldiers as they rapidly grew closer. And despite all their mental and physical preparation, what happened next surprised them both. The Hive soldiers dodged the shewolves’ defensive maneuvers and ran straight between them without stopping. Startled, Shiloh and Nimh locked eyes and exchanged confused glances. Looking out upon the sprawling battlefield they had defended all afternoon, they watched as one by one, the Hive wolves began to turn tail and run back in the direction of the river. It was a retreat! Elation filled Shiloh’s mind as both Swiftwing and Heolfor soon found the shoulders of their Alphas to confirm the report that the enemy forces were clearing the area and on the run. Nimh instructed Heolfor to follow them and further confirm the stinking beasts left Riverfell fully and were not simply reconvening elsewhere for another ambush after nightfall. Shiloh agreed with the order and instructed Swiftwing to accompany him. As the two familiars took to the blazing sky, the Alphas watched as they were joined by Finnbar and Llyr. Having eyes in the sky would help them all sleep more soundly tonight.,Except… Looking over her shoulder, Shiloh suddenly realized those first few Hive soldiers that seemed to trigger the start of the retreat had come not from the North, South, or West —as they’d experienced all afternoon— but the East. Concerned eyes found the mountains they had fought all day to protect as her heart began to race. When Nimh joined her side and noticed her worry, Shiloh’s voice came out in a nearly trembling whisper. “Those first two came from our den site.”, And with that, the Battle for Riverfell has officially ended in victory! Following the retreat of Hive forces, both Vektreni and Riverfellians begin to survey the battlefield to find the wounded and dead. Sages and Magisters are working double-time to administer treatment as fast as possible to those most gravely wounded first, while anyone still standing strong is searching for those unaccounted for and helping the rest of their packmates get to the banks of the Sea's Tail River where both packs are currently regrouping.As Shiloh and Alice race back to the main den site to investigate their concerns, Nimh and Jaskier assess their numbers and dispatch orders to retrieve the hearts from the fallen hive wolves just as night descends upon the plains.How has your wolf faired through the battle? Are they one of the gravely injured, or one of those left standing in search of survivors and administering aid? Despite their differences, the two packs fought and bled as one. Tonight, there would be no distinction between the two as wolves are cared for, fed, and kept safe in the tense uncertainty of the falling shadows.Of course...the unsettling harvesting of enemy hearts during the night may effect some Riverfellians more than others... You're all welcome to explore these ideas and more now that the fighting is over! Feel free to coordinate in the Discord channel and tag myself or King if you have any questions or concerns. And the ultimate conclusion of this event will be posted very soon when Shiloh and Alice return!
