Autumn, "The Leaf"

Name: Autumn

Breed: Australian Cattle Dog

First Time at Sanctuary: 08/05/19

Description: Autumn's fall like coat makes it easy for her to blend in with the piles of leaves covering the forest of the Land of the Oak. In the days after the fall of Sanctuary, the forest was a littered with dogs lost and confused. This mattered not for Autumn who had the time of her life running from one hiding spot to the next. She would bide her time and then jump out just as a group of dogs passed by to scare them. Everyone in the forest could hear her giggles as she drifted around the woods blending in with the new fall colors.

Chapter Five: An Old Friend

I cocked my head to the side again, and at this point I was getting rather tired of doing this, “You weren’t accepted by the Oak?”  Hojan shook his head, “None of them can even find it. Whenever I try leading them to it they get lost.”  Thirteen chimed in, “We even tried tying rope around a few of them and they just vanished. Fortunately, everyone we took out knew their way back here. We even tried to get eleven to help us.” I straightened my head and looked at Thirteen who’s long brown hair was falling on either side of her shoulders, “Is that how he lost his hand?” I asked.  She shook her head, “No, that’s a different story.”  I shook my head in confusion, “What happened with Eleven? How do you know you aren’t accepted?” Hojan took a deep breath and glanced at Thirteen who leaned over and patted him on the head. “Eleven and I went to the Oak. I was turned away before being let in. They told me I can gaze upon the glory of the Oak, but until I am redeemed I will not be allo

Chapter Nine: Cracks

We walked through the door to find Hojan, the Sentinel, and another dog  I did not recognize at first. “She said they can’t do anything for you.”  The dog whom I did not recognize said, “She’s sorry but the wolves have spoken and she can do no more. You’ll have to go to the Dark Coast, you’ll have to find the seer.” Hojan puffed out his chest and took a deep breath before the Sentinel placed her hand on his head, “It’s ok,” the Sentinel sweetly said, “We don’t want to push our luck on the topic.” She patted Hojan a little bit harder, as if to warn him before she continued, “We’re thankful for all the help you and Rad have given us.” The brown dog nodded her head before turning around, “Storm? Is that you?” she asked in a stunned voice.  I squinted at the dog, examining her. “Coco?” I asked almost breathlessly. Coco wagged her tail and came to greet me. She stopped in her tracks and asked, “Well who is that with you Storm?” looking straight at Atrix. I smiled, “Ah well that’s a l

Chapter Fifteen: Out of the Darkness

Hannah and Nari came back a while later. “It’s time to go,” Hannah whispered as Nari went to wake Bailey. Atrix was already awake at this point, lazily lying on top of Dagney. As soon as he saw me rise up and begin to stretch he jumped onto Dagney’s head and we all heard a loud CRACK.  Everyone froze and looked towards the mastiff only to see her yawn and in a rather tired voice and say, “Is it time to go already? I feel like I just fell asleep.”      Hannah raised an eyebrow and turned towards me, “That dog can sure take a beating.” Hannah begin to rub her head with a paw as she gazed at Dagney.      I laughed, “Yea, it’s fortunate for her she can too. Her first instinct is always to run straight into a problem. She’s never really stopped to consider anything else.”  Hannah grinned, “We have a few dogs who believe the same thing. I’ll see if any of them are available to join us today. Dagney might be able to learn something from them.” She said with a wink. I gave a warm sm
