He laid there in his bed staring at the dark ceiling. It was early morning, and all the male could hear in the caves halls was nothing, it sounded like no one had been alive or active yet. Getting up he left his den and exited the cave system. Looking about outside, he noted where the sun sat in the sky, thinking that it hadn’t been out too long. Only morning and it was already warming up quickly, he could only imagine that it was going to be hot one. He made his way to the village where the garden would be. Standing at the edge of the land he scanned the surrounding area, taking it all in.



There is so much work that needs to be done here. Where does one even start? Looking at the bare land he thought about the Angelo’s words during the last meeting. He didn’t know a single thing about gardening. He might have read something about agriculture in the past, but he had zero hands on experience. Though the Dasa’s lack of know-how didn’t bother him too much, concerning effort and work, he would put in plenty of both. Anything to help… and whatever it takes. In the back of his mind he knew he wouldn’t be the only canine doing the work around here.



There was much tree debris littered over the plot of land. What stood out to the half and half was what he saw as the perimeter. Before anything really was started they should probably make the garden some sort of enclosure to really define it. That would entail making a fence of sorts, gazing at the woods edge he figured he could find great sticks and branches for makeshift fence posts or something. Once into the forest, Mido began to pick up good sized pieces of tree limbs and branches. Having loaded his arms as full as he physically could without dropping them all, he went back to the sometime to be garden. Removing his arms from beneath the load of wood he let it all come crashing to the ground. Putting his hands on his hips he huffed and tilted his head to the sky. My fur isn’t cut out for hot weather! He couldn’t help but think how he hadn’t even shed his winter coat yet. He didn’t understand why he was wearing pants; it was hot and bound to get hotter. Angry that he didn’t have shorts or something he kneeled to ground to roll up his pant legs. He wondered how many armfuls he would need to get to go around the plot of land.

From a distance he observed, leant against the wooden fence that marked off the out door training grounds. Since early morning he had been sat there simply looking and watching the gardens, pleased to see some members had already taken some initiative and began working on the lands. Alex was stood behind him, light grey arms wrapped around the Angelo's shoulders, the idiot resting his head to the side of the dark samurai’s, watching the work alongside the brooding male. “It's going well so far” the Abigor observed, earning a mumbled “Mhmm” in response, resting his head against the pale males. It was rare that he showed the other any form of affection, the touch was brief before he pulled away and headed over towards the gardens, ready to lend a hand wherever he was needed.

Behind him, Alex jumped over the fence and trailed behind the Angelo, following the storm coloured male lead. Scouring his eyes over the lands he noted the light-coloured form of Mido, one of the Dasas within the pack. Having spent his first few months within the warrior tier of Anathema he held great respect for those who followed the path, for only the truly dedicated and hard working could progress and succeed in the ways of combat. Altering his path he moved over to the male, Alex having gone of to be somewhat useful elsewhere. “Mido, glad ta see you're down here helpin'. Anything I can do to lend you a hand?” he asked, inclining his head a fraction as he awaited the male's response. Having not been as engaged with the gardens as he was with the workshop, he was currently unaware of who was working on what and what still needed to be done.

To his left, Alex seemed to re-appear out of thin air, turning his head he looked at the other and shot him a quizzical look, unsure where or what the other had disappeared off to do and not sure if he particularly wanted to know the details; experience told him that the most likely answer was something stupid or pointless.

The Dasa had already gotten four or five arm loads of wood and piled them together. Bent over he rested his weight over his midsection, crouched to the ground the male began to organize the pile of sticks into groups of small, medium and large sizes. There seemed to be a light breeze that was pretty consistently pushing against him. His moving the sticks around had caused a light commotion that blocked out most of the surrounding noises that may have caught his attention. Mido was stuck in a single thought process state of mind, being really focused on the task at hand. The half and half had finally gotten the sticks all organized into their corresponding piles and was ready for the next step in the process.



Mido figured that he probably wasn’t the only one there, but he was so preoccupied that he paid little attention anything else. His ears swiveled with disbelief when he heard the Angelo’s voice break the silence. ALAKI?! Standing up his tail fell quick and his ears wavered to the side from their normal upright and frontal position. Hey there Alaki!. He said turning his head in shock to greet him. The confusion was due to the fact that he figured the dark cloud colored male would assist with the stables. Having heard the male’s offer of assistance he briefly looked at the wood, the area over all, and then back to Alaki. Well… Honestly I wasn’t exactly sure what to do or where to start. So I grabbed a bunch sticks and branches thinking the garden could use some sort of definitive enclosure, like a fence maybe? He gave the Angelo and his companion Alexander an enthusiastic smile.



It was true that the multi colored mix didn’t know a single thing about gardening. He could still at least help make an enclosure, clean up debris or something stupidly simple that didn’t require any kind of knowledge or experience.

Whilst the Dasa spoke his eyes flicked to the pile of gathered wood, instantly impressed by the others initiative and fast work. If all the others were working just as much as the Dasa it seemed likely that the gardens would soon be finished at least, which would greatly help the pack become more involved with trade as well as self-production. “Hrmmm. Sounds like a plan” his voice was somewhat muffled as he spoke allowed, mind deep in thought as he began to calculate the size of the designated are which was to be the gardens. “The most important areas that would need to be defined by fencing would be the sides; front and back aren't as important. If we can get the sides up first, then we can worry about the rest” he thought allowed, eyes flicking back down to the pile of wood. “Well, building a fence I can do. God knows I know nothing about gardening” he grinned a little and looked over to Alex, “What ya gonna do” he asked, “Obviously help. God forbid if I left the mighty Angelo to do all the manual work. You know, would hate to have him come whimpering to me cause he got a splinter or something and I wasn't there to make it all better” Alex's words struck a nerve in the storm coloured male, who simply raised and eyebrow, his lip tugging back a fraction. “Says the guy who can't hunt for shit”.

Turning his attention away from the ghostly male before he became tempted to start a full out fight with the Abigor in front of the pack, he looked to Mido and shrugged slightly in an attempt to tell the other not to worry about the small argument. “I'll go fetch some spades. Should be a few in storage from when I was doing the training ground fence. I think ya got enough wood there for one side” he said and turned and began to make his way to the storage building. Raising his arms over his head and interlocking his hands, Alex yawned loudly and padded over the the pile off wood, bringing his arms back over his head he crouched down in front of the wood. “Might as well start laying it out, that way we can confirm we have enough” and with that said he began loading a pile of wood into his arms and made his way to the left side of the gardens that neighboured the training grounds. Starting at the far end he dumped the wood and began placing it out roughly where it would be erected.

Just as Alex began laying the wood out, the Angelo returned with three shovels, offering one to the Dasa as he reached the male.

Looking from the Angelo to Alex, the half and half remained silent waiting to hear some kind of confirmation. Alaki seemed to agree with Mido’s thought process. Elaborating about the gardens, he said that if they could get the sides up the front and back weren’t as important. It turned out the Dasa wasn’t the only one who knew nothing about the art of gardening. Okay. The dark male queried the ghostly Abigor about his intentions. The way that Alexander responded the observant mutt hadn’t been ready for. Tilting his head to one side a semi curious eyebrow was raised, he didn’t think the leaders’ question warranted that kind of retort. It almost seemed like the two of them were certainly going start squabbling, but they hadn’t and Alaki just shrugged the pale male’s attitude off.



Mentioning that there might be some spades in storage, the storm colored male left to get them. The moody Alexander spoke up about getting down to business, moving off to the left he already began laying out the wood. Before Mido had a chance to get started Alaki was back and holding one of the soil shovels out for him to take. Grabbing the shovel the Dasa took it and pierced the earth with it. Bending over the male gathered as big a load of wood as he could. Apparently he had taken up too much; he was dropping pieces here and there as he cussed under his breath. Eventually he was purposefully dropping the wood and kicking the pieces in place. Moving back to the shovel he began to dig holes for the wood to go in. The Huskadore was about ten holes in when he figured each hole was roughly four shovels-full deep. By the time he reached the end of the right side he was panting heavy. Ouch! Nice job dumbass. Mido’s tongue had been hanging out the side of his mouth when he closed it.

With his load lightened he padded over to the opposite end to which Alexander was working on; simply because it was closer and to some level he wasn't in the mood to deal with the pale Abgior's incomprehensible mood swings at that moment. With the second shovel he shoved it into the ground with his arms, pushing it in further with a paw and his body weight so that it was left protruding from the grounds for Alexander to collect when he needed it. Swapping the last shovel to his left hand he looked up to see the Dasa join in with the laying of wood, although the male's method wasn't quiet as organised as Alexander's measured hand placed pieces it was just as effective, if not a little more fun looking. Making his way over to the gathered wood he collected a small load with his left arm and began working separately to the other two, for either way they'd meet up at some and he didn't see the need to work with anyone at the moment, considering his current mood wasn't all that better then Alex's. The job was to put up a fence, not make nice with everyone.

Half dropping, half placing the wood he combined the two other males style just for the heck of it, to make the tedious task as interesting as possible. Keeping to himself he quickly had his small load placed and began to dig holes for the posts, aiming for each one to be roughly between half or three quarters of a meter deep, considering the length of the posts and the required height of the fence his estimation seemed logical and had worked somewhat okay for the fencing around the training grounds. Repeatedly all he did was dig, dump the dirt and dig some more, every now and then when he completed a hole he'd carefully drop the wooden post into it and fill the remaining space up with the free dirt laying around in poorly placed piles. Tiresome work really, but simple enough. During some point of the Angelo's work, Alexander had come to retrieve his spade without saying a work and he too seemed to be making fair progress, having what appeared to be 4 posts in place from where the Angelo stood, the storm coloured male looked to his two posts and hole and felt a slight competitive urge take hold of him, blue eyes flashing to the area where the Dasa worked to see how far he'd gotten.

Mido had really been getting into the whole work idea. Panting he continued the method that he had begun and just kept on going. He had dug all the holes for the posts lined up prior. Going back in the opposite direction towards the Abigor he would put the wood in and fill the holes. The multicolored male drove the post in as hard as he could, when he came to a shoulder hammering halt he filled the absent earth. Inside his head the Dasa had been chanting what he had been doing all along. Put the stick in the ground, fill in the hole, move on and repeat.



The mutt thought he’d been doing pretty well at the pace he was going. He was shocked when he looked over to see the progress that Alexander had made. The half and half put in a dozen or so posts already, but without even counting it seemed like the ghostly male had more than that. Holy Crap! What have I been doing? It would only be moments before the light colored male would meet up with him and this side would then be finished. Glancing over to the Angelo on the other side he admired his progress. Mido couldn’t quite grasp the aura lingering in the air, but it seemed to making them productive none the less.



The Hybrid moved to the other side to meet up with Alaki from the opposite end. Though the male had no sense of time he realized that the three of them really hadn’t been at this long at all. The way the three had worked it seemed like they would shortly have the sides completely up and done with. Though he worked hard he felt like he could hardly consider it work. The male began to wonder what he would end up doing with his efforts for the remainder of the day.

Working in near silence he picked up his speed, repeating the manual actions to get the task at hand done as quickly and efficiently as possible, glancing over to the other two males every now and then to keep track of their general progress, not that he was competitive or anything. With the break-less work he soon joined his part of the fencing to where the others had gotten up to, Alex finishing up just a few minutes behind him, a sense of victory taking place within the Angelo that he did not voice. Straightening up he breathed in deeply, both hands wrapped around the spade's handle, blue eyes reviewing the work thus far; which was surprisingly more then he has initially thought himself and the other two would be able to achieve in the time frame thus far. Sure it wasn't the prettiest fence he'd ever seen and in places somewhat unstable, but it looked like a fence and defined the area that was to be the garden none the less; or one side of it to be exact.

Shovel in hand he made his way over to Alex, noticing that the pale male too had decided to head over to him. “You're side of the fence is wonky” the words flew out of the pale males mouth, causing the Angelo's steps to falter for a second before he simply inclined his head slightly. “And yours looks like it's about to topple over any minute. Rather have a wonky fence then one that would be blown down by the wind” he retorted, irritation surging through him slightly; although he understood some of the reasoning behind the pale male's random mood swings, this particular one was leaving him stumped and he was fairly sure he hadn't done anything wrong recently to have set Alex off.

“The hell? What makes you think yours has remotely stable foundation? Since when have you had any skills with making just about anything?” stepping into the Angelo's personal space, Alex spat the words out, retreating quickly as to not push his luck with the storm male too far. Dark ears flicked back and his tail fell still with agitation, “That does it!” lifting his spade he angled it so that the edges were fairly out of the way and lightly striking the idiot upon his hip with the back of the spade's head, Alexander responding simply with a string of incoherent curses and a low strike at the Angelo's thigh, the spades edge slicing through his jeans and nicking the male's leg.

With both having struck a blow, the spades were thrown down, both male's muscles bunching up ready to pick a fight with each other.

It seemed like they had been working really well all this time. Looking around he thought the three of them had made a lot of progress so far. Mido had just finished up what he had been working on. Standing up Mido dusted the dirt off himself and took a deep breath of proud satisfaction. His pointed ears swiveled in the direction of the all of the sudden disturbance. The half and half cautiously watched as the spatting match went on between the two males. He honestly didn’t understand the reason for the argument or why it started, only that it happened. Standing some distance away from them he watched the two debate away about their fence making skills. The mutt turned his head slightly in the direction of whoever had been speaking at the time.



Before he knew it the Angelo and Seere were sick and tired of bantering and were getting physical with each other. He saw Alaki thump Alexander with the head of the shovel, who retaliated by hitting him back. The shovels had been tossed aside and the two looked like they were getting ready for mortal combat. Oh shit! Are they serious? The multicolored male wasn’t exactly sure what he could do for them if anything, but he could try and cool them down. You have to be kidding me. Dropping the shovel in his hand he immediately ran over to them; careful not to get directly in the line of fire he held up his hands as if he was surrendering. Alaki, Alex everything alright over here? He could see they weren’t happy with one another. He wanted to help but at this point he might just end up making things worse. He didn’t foresee this happening when he first started working. Guys, can we take it easy… pretty please? In the back of his mind he knew he wasn’t the best mediator, but he would give it a whirl.

An itching sensation caused the male to grow aware of the cut, the throbbing pain only becoming remotely noticeable a few moments later; it was somewhat strange how high his tolerance of pain had grown, from always having some small cut or another upon him the Angelo had quickly learned to ignore the pain that smaller wounds caused. Yet, the fact that Alex had dared to strike him and cause a flesh wound hurt strangely, in a way he couldn't put his finger on and wasn't too sure if he really wanted to figure out the details as to why it had hurt him, just that it had.

Stepping forward he reached out to grab for the paler male, only for some ignorant fool to interrupt his wrath. Turning sharply to the direction of the interloper he bite back his growl of irritation, only then recalling that the Dasa had been present in the fence making, so quickly he'd forgotten the other male with his irritation towards Alex. Turning his sights back to the pale male, he stared silently, making his displeasure of things well known to the other and that things weren't over; they'd be settled later, when no one was present to play good old innocent bystander.

Turning his back to the pair he picked up his and Alex's spade; the latter so that the pale male couldn't do a repeat action and use it against him. “Well, I'll be off for now. We can crack on the rest at another time. Cya” he bid his farewells to the Dasa, making a point to simply ignore Alex as he left the gardens to return the spades into storage and began to make his way back to the caves, seething with anger and plotting out murderous revenge for Alex if he dared enter their shared cave that night.
