Dawn of a new day

[River]

Roleplay between Siv & her family.

---

Dawn had never looked more beautiful. It shone down, gentle and bright, upon a land that had seen its own rebirth over the night hours. The peaceful fall of one dynasty, and the rise of another. It was a day of glory. A day Hurricane had waited her entire life for.

The wise old Queen sat now upon a plinth of marshy soil, a rise that gave her height above the flat ground before her. The corona of dawn shined upon her back, giving her the appearance of glowing to anyone who happened to be looking at her. A slight smile remained permanent upon her wisened features. A gusty breeze whispered across the ground, and her long thick mane billowed around her.

She had already sent the message to her children still waiting in the wilderness. Her sly and secretive Siv, her fiery and hot-tempered Annelyse, and her poor simpleton Melchior. They would come and take their places in her kingdom, as they had been taught to do all of their lives. And her sweet and kind Tiyana, and powerful Sebastian, they were already here. Not present at the moment, but soon to be. And they would sit at her feet, in their own appointed thrones. And their titles would be given to them at last, the honors they so rightly deserved. Her heart fluttered with pride just imagining that wonderful moment.

And Jakoda...yes, Jakoda. The weakened pack that had once ruled these lands. She had taken them all, offered their alpha a destiny he could not refuse. She had offered him peace, and the strength of a powerful ruling family. She had offered to take him as her own son, and teach him as she had done her blood children. There was still strength in him, potential that Hurricane would never allow to go to waste. Kakashi...did he truly understand what was to come of him today? Well, if he did not, then he was in for a surprise.

"Come to me, my children," Hurricane called. "It is time."

~Four days earlier~

Tan tipped brown ears perked as paw steps approached, the multicolored head rising slowly after. Who would dare bother me on such a day as this? The earth colored female thought. Well, whoever it is, they had better watch themselves, she thought, showing rare emotion with a devious grin. Her red eyes scanned through the trees, sensitive to any movement that might happen to cross the radar screen. Blood raced through her veins, supplying her with energy should this confrontation turn into the need for fight or flight. Her ears pulled back against her skull as the messenger approached, unaware of the thoughts racing around in this skilled hunter's mind. With a loud entrance, the messenger lunged into the clearing, causing fangs to be bared and the earth colored female to raise to her paws. Even though every sense was reeling, she waited calmly for this male to make the first move. He was panting ferociously after his long run from the land of Stonemngard.

The male took a few steadying breaths, then spoke clearly and crisply. "I have traveled long and far to deliver the Queen-Mother's message. She is summoning her children home to help her rule the pack of Stonemngard," he said, then smiled wryly. "Unless you're too afraid to face your mother." he growled.

After a failed attempt to control her temper, the earth colored female lashed out in her typical fiery approach. "I am NOT afraid to face my mother, you coward! You'd better be careful before I rip your throat out!" She snapped. There was no quavering in her tone, and she was not afraid to take this male on. She raced past the male, nipping at his forelegs in the process, toward the land that her mother had conquered.

~Present~

Sunlight shone down upon the sleeping female so very close to where her mother resided. This was the day that everything would happen. If only she knew that. Her mother would welcome her to her new home with open arms after so many years. Two and a half years to be exact. She had left the protection of her family to live on her own when she was two and a half, thinking she was ready to take on the world. It had been her fiery personality and uncharacteristic independence that had led to her choice. She didn’t know what had become of her siblings, but she would find out soon enough. I’d better get going, she thought with a frown. Rising to her paws, she set off at a steady pace toward her new home, fully prepared to bring her pessimism and fire with her. If there was one thing wandering wolves had learned of this female, it was to not cross her path on a bad day. There was no telling what kind of a mood she was in, and it was best not to push your luck, lest you want to get your throat ripped out. The female was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she almost didn’t realize when she hit solid ground and smelled other wolves nearby.

Her pace slowed ever so slightly when she saw the distant form of a brown wolf on plinth of marshy soil. If her heart hadn’t been trapped in the confines of her chest, it would have burst from her body with the ecstasy it now harbored. Mother, she thought happily, a very rare emotion in her book. The closer she got, the more joyous she felt, only accelerating her speed. She had to reign in her emotions to even bring herself to slow enough to make an orderly entrance. She bowed once to her mother, no her Queen-Mother, and sat in front of the being that had given her life. “Hello mother. Annelyse has answered your call,” she said in a voice smooth as honey.

[River]

When the messenger had arrived and scared some of his frogs Melchior had turned his back on him huffily and concentrated on gathering his babies back together. There were only a few now compared to the numbers they would grow to one day, just enough for them to easily cover his back without being too packed together. One day though..One day there would be many, a tiny army of his babies living and populating the pack! Melchior giggled happily while cooing nonsense over his tiny babies. The largest frog and most special to him, Mmgurlah, sat on top of his head and warned him that the wolf was still there with a ribbit.

“Your mother has called you all together now.”

That got his attention. Wide purple eyes jerked up to stare at the messenger’s exasperated face and he gasped. Momma was calling them? They could go to their new home now? Melchior gurgled happily and nudged his froggie babies up on his back. They could go home! Once his babies were all on his back he stood up, swaying partially, and gave the messenger a goofy grin before running dramatically off into the distant.

Only..

Melchior nibbled on his tongue nervously and glanced back at the other wolf. Where was home? The wolf apparently got the idea and pointed him the way. The opposite way of which he was running, and then he chuckled at Melchior, making him pout at feeling so helpless.

Once turned around in the right direction Melchior took off dramatically towards his new home. As he was now in the right direction it didn’t take long for him to find his mother and one of his siblings, the Ruby, waiting. Melchior’s muzzle split in a grin. He wasn’t the last to arrive! He was second, actually, and that made him wriggle with excitement, shaking is tail and his bum.

“Mauhmmah!” Melchior jumbled the word out of his mouth quickly and took a reckless two steps forward with both front feet making his fall forward and sending his babies hopping. Blinking dazedly he grinned up at Hurricane and stated proudly. “Mauhmmah! Mmgh secunghd!”

Shaking his head slightly, keeping from throwing Mmgurlah off, he sat up and blinked at the ground. Where did his babies go? Panicked, Melchior jumped to his feet with a pitiful whine and stumbled around in a circle.

“Mauhmmah! Frogguhs! Frogguhs gone! Wurgh mauh babbuhs?!”

They had probably gone off to feed and explore there new home, but Melchior didn’t know that. He was scared and his babies were gone. Hurricane had to fix it, she fixed everything. Except him, he was broken and not even Mamma could fix him.


*Mauhmmah--Mamma
Mmgh secunghd--I'm second
Frogguhs--Froggies
Wurgh mauh babbuhs--Where my babbies*

[River]

She did not have long to wait. Her children never disappointed her.

Hurricane did admit herself surprised, however, to see the figure that arrived first. A wide smile split her features as the rusty red-brown form of her eldest daughter strode into view, powerful and confident. She had kept herself in very good shape, as Hurricane would have expected. Despite her rather rebellious and fiery personality, Annelyse had taken her teaching with the same grace as her siblings. She was as ready as the rest of them to assume their positions in Stonemngard. Perhaps even a bit more so, now that she had experience living and surviving on her own. Such things only made the spirit all the stronger.

Hurricane watched as Annelyse approached, her smile never fading as she sat down gracefully before her.

“Hello mother. Annelyse has answered your call,”

"So she has," Hurricane replied. She rose to her feet and gracefully dismounted the plinth, granting herself the personal pleasure of talking to her daughter face to face. "Welcome home, Annelyse. It has been a long time since I have seen your lovely face." The aged she-wolf gently nuzzled the side of her daughter's face. "You have become so strong. Do I even need to ask if you think you are ready to become my Ruby?"

Hurricane would have stood there, waiting patiently for an answer. But the arrival of a second child made her turn her head.

“Mauhmmah!”

Melchior had arrived. Hurricane's face became alight with joy, her smile all the more noticeable. This was not because she was more happy to see Melchior than Annelyse, but for Melchior's benefit. The old lady well remembered the day of his terrible accident, the long months of watching him suffer as he tried to heal. And the shattering weight, the bitter disappointment, that came with the realization that her most brilliant son would never be the same again.

Hurricane had not cast him away, though, as she might have normally to a stranger. Melchior was her son, no matter what his state of mind. What kind of mother would she be to abandon her child in his time of need? So she had cared for him, tolerated his new and altogether strange whims, and had ordered him to remain protected while she had gone off to forge this new life.

For the present, Melchior seemed more steady than usual, though his back was covered with those frogs he so dearly loved. And then he fell flat on his face. The side of Hurricane's mouth twitched, her brow furrowing in a look of sympathy as her son slowly sat up.

“Mauhmmah! Mmgh secunghd!”

"Yes you are," she said, slowly and clearly, still keeping the smile on her face. She approached him, giving him several more kisses across the bridge of his muzzle. "You make Mama very proud."

The rest of his frogs had started wandering away, leaving only his favorite perched between his ears. Hurricane might have made a welcome comment to it, but before she could Melchior had risen to his feet, now deeply upset and whining as he turned a full circle.

“Mauhmmah! Frogguhs! Frogguhs gone! Wurgh mauh babbuhs?!”

"Stop, Melchior," Hurricane said, very gently. "Your babies are just off exploring. They will return very soon."

She beckoned to him.

"Come now," she said. "Come sit with your Mama and sister. We are still waiting for Ben, for Siv, and for Yana."

[River]

To say the very least, Daittan was unsure.

Mentally, if not physically, the small scout had been the youngest of Jakoda's members. He was also the smallest and quite possibly the least competent fighter amongst the few that had become a part of the pack. The timber hated the fact that his 'new beginning' had not been nearly as active as he had first hypothesised, but he held no anger at Kakashi for giving into the new pack after they had been challenged. Their alpha female had disappeared soon after Jakoda had been established and despite the older wolf's good intentions nothing had been able to bring the pack back to it's original life. Now there was a new leader and new pack members roaming what had once been Jakoda's lands. Despite Daittan's love of all things new and exciting the arrival of so many unknown factors was unsettling.

Dark ears twitched forward as he heard the call of one of the newcomers before laying to press against his head in worry. The young canine had close to zero experience with higher ups, especially those who hadn't chosen him. To have a choice in the matter of acceptance would be...refreshing, he supposed. Perhaps these new wolves wouldn't be as much of a suprise as he anticipated? Well, there was only one way to find out.

I hope Kakashi or Cerebus are already there...

Daittan's long, lightly speckled legs carried him over the land he knew so well, cataloguing every change in the earth or trees. The timber's real talent lay in his memory, where the every inch of the borders were catalogued down to the most minuscule detail. This gift had made him perfect as a scout while making up for his obvious lack of experience and fighting skills. That had been why their old alpha had allowed him passage into Jakoda's ranks. Would the alpha of Stonemngard feel the same way?

There they were...three of them so far, the alpha herself and the two that had answered her call. Daittan ducked his head respectfully to her while moving carefully, as he had when returning to his mother after one of her more violent spells. More than once the old female hadn't recognised her youngest son and had chased him from their cave. The freckled wolf only hoped the same would not happen here!

Before he could politely answer Hurricane's call Daittan's blue eyes travelled up to one of the other wolves. Was that an amphibian perched on his head? That would definitely require further investigation. Shaking his head to rid himself of the distraction the youth gazed at the older female, seeing the way she seemed to command the other's respect. Had his alpha ever had that air to her?

"Lady..." Daittan stopped, unsure as to how to address her? Many females didn't like to be called as such due to their feelings on equality, although sometimes if you didn't recognise a speaker's gender they could become agitated. How illogical. "I've come to answer your call. I am Daittan, formerly of Jakoda." The timber bowed low on a whim, as some of the packs more concerned with a heirachy called for.

Oh yes, no one will realise you've got no idea as to what to do... Daittan pouted in his mind. This was becoming harder than he thought...but perhaps he was over thinking again?

[River]

The daily trifles had life had become such a burden to the female. Getting up and just walking didn't seem to hold much importance to her anymore. She had nothing to work for, nothing to focus on, and thus, simply nothing. Her goals had been reached long ago, and now.. now, there was only Siv. She felt as if the world had just stopped moving around her, ceased, all life just.. dying out.

But now, all that was about to change. She'd gotten a goal, gotten something to strive for; her mother, her great, great Queen-mother, had finally stepped up and decided to take something by force. Stonemngard had been realized. The female had waited for some time now, and now that the goal had been reached her heart had fluttered with joy. Jakoda, was it? The pack that Hurricane had taken over and changed.. hah, they would've been fools to stand up to the Queen-Mother. A growl emitted from the female's throat at the thought of a battle ensuing, over her mother's challenge. Ah, she awaited the day when she could rip some random wolf's throat out and spit it back in their pitiful face! .... okay not really, she wasn't that ambitious.

When the Queen-mother called, Siv had been anxious enough. As she traveled, though, to meet her mother and siblings, she'd calmed down. There was no use in getting excited, not yet. Besides, mainting one's self-respect and dignity had to be one of the biggest things Siv focused on. As she got closer to the meeting, many scents met her nose. Some familiar, some not.. it didn't really matter to Siv, if they didn't have a significance yet.

Siv stepped from the marshland foliage and , Tiyana and Melchior, her siblings. A frown covered her face for only a split second, before she went back to her inexpressive, straight face. Taking a couple of strides toward her mother, she nodded curtly but said nothing. No, she didn't need to speak - she'd fulfilled her duty already, just by showing up. Words had no use yet.

[River]

Wolves of all sizes were beginning to arrive, two of which Annelyse recognized as her siblings. Melchior had made quite an entrance, and Siv hadn't made much of an entrance at all. But Siv was just being quiet, brooding Siv, and Anny couldn't blame her for that. Out of all of their siblings, Anny was a lot like Siv in a lot of ways. Even though they were alike in some ways, they were very different in others. Anny didn't find a pleasure in killing others, but found it was necessary when they threatened her family. Where is Sebastian? She wondered, flipping channels to her brother. It had been over two years since she had seen any of her siblings, but for some reason she wanted to see her brother the most. Her red eyes scanned the foliage, half expecting him to leap out of a tree. A small chuckle vibrated through her body as she thought about the presentation it would be if her brother made his first appearance of the day by coming from a tree.

Light paw steps sounded from a distance behind Anny, but she was so used to having to watch her back that her finely tuned ears picked right up on the sound. Her right ear swiveled, picking up all the other little sounds too. Birds quietly chirping, leaves rustling in the slight breeze, and bird wings flapping overhead. Those noises were so very annoying, yet it was very difficult for Anny to tune them out. As the paw steps grew louder, a scent drifted lightly to her nose; a scent she knew well. Her adopted daughter was coming to join the adults in their little get together, and would have to be introduced to the pack.

Annelyse decided to sit and wait patiently for everyone else to arrive. The expression on her face grew emotionless as she stared in the direction in which Siv had appeared. The little gray fur ball that was Desmanee finally arrived at her side, nuzzling into the fur on her stomach and legs. Where is everyone? Annelyse finally thought.

[River]

Hurricane's patient gaze had remained upon Melchior and Annelyse as she had returned to her seat upon the low dune of marshy soil. She was not yet convinced that her son had been reassured about his "babies", however, and granted him slight glances out of the corner of her eye to keep tabs on his facial expression.

But her attention could not be completely focused on Melchior for long. For a new face had appeared, and had slowly approached. This one was not one of her beloved children, but Hurricane recognized him all the same. She had spent several long hours in deep discussion with Kakashi, and he had described to her the handful of Jakoda members that were most likely to present themselves for annexation into Stonemngard. And so as the male nervously approached the foot of her seet and bowed, his name and former rank was already present in the old Queen's mind.

"Lady... I've come to answer your call. I am Daittan, formerly of Jakoda."

"Greetings, Diattan," she replied calmly, granting the male what would possibly be the only time he would hear her voice in such confidence. "I am pleased that you have come forth. Do not be nervous, my son. We are all family here."

At the very moment Hurricane thought her next idea, its star appeared. Out of the corner of her eye she saw her most venomous daughter slide to her place by her side, absolutely silent, emerald eyes ablaze. To Siv, Hurricane did not even need to ask. Her presence, and her precise knowledge of her place by the old lady's side was enough. Her daughter was ready. The Emerald had come.

"Siv," Hurricane said to her. "Diattan was a scout in Jakoda. I do not wish to see his talents wasted. Perhaps fine-tuning him into something we can all be proud of is a task fit for your legion."

And that was that. Daittan had his place in one of the Gem Legions, if he managed to pass whatever initial training Siv had in store.

Hurricane took a deep, calm breath and raised her head a little higher, her gaze scanning the horizon. She was still awaiting Kakashi himself, but he would come in time. And where on earth was Sebastian? It was not like her most powerful son to be late.

[River]

Dawn slowly made its way to where a gray and white male wolf sat by him self. His head full of thoughts of what had just happen. He let out a sigh, it felt like a weight had been lifted up off is shoulders now, and he could breath with ease. His packs down fall was one of the things he did not want to see happen and what had caused him much grief the past few weeks to months. Now things looked up with new blood and ideas coming in with the merging of his pack with the older female’s family. Kakashi lifted his head up to the rays of the dawning sun that feel down around him threw the trees. The female’s words still hung in his head.

“ I foresee a use for you already….One of my children recently came to serious injury, which I fear will not allow him to perform the tasks I have beset upon him. I see much of what he used to be in you. If you are willing”

He did not know what to say to that kind of thing. Here he had tried every thing and failed and yet things where being handed to him on a silver platter for this once in a lifetime kind of deal, a take it now or you will never have the chance to have it. Kakashi closed his mismatched eyes and took a deep breath in; it was time to go met the others and see what Hurricane was up to now. Kakashi stood and slipped threw the tall read grass and some under brush as he made his way to where he could no hear voices of others coming together.

As he stepped out n to open where groups of wolves have gathered, he knew only two of the five wolves that were there. The old female named Hurricane and one of his pack members named Daittan. There where to other females and another male who Kakashi could tell right away who he was. The other male he did not know had to be Hurricane’s son, the one that got hurt and one’s place he would be taking. It was a shame to finally see the one he would be replacing rank wise. Kakashi took a seat close to the others and bowed his head to Lady Hurricane.

“I am sorry for being late, I was lost in thought over your offer you left me with.” he paused for a moment and looked around at the others before he went one “I’ll take you up on your said offer my lady and I’ll be glad to do it.” he said in calm friendly tone to his new leader. “Also if you have any questions as to the land or any thing at all about the area please ask.. I am more then willing to help you with any thing my lady” he said at last whit a slight smile and a soft wag of his tail

[River]

Ruby orbs glared out at the world, keeping tabs on everyone that had arrived. Most of her siblings, along with a single member from Jakoda; Daittan, as she had overheard. Along with Daittan, her young daughter had come and Melchior's 'babies' had come. Despite her dislike for the tiny frogs that her brother cared so much about, she was surprisingly tolerant of the tiny monsters. Since her last scan though, a new face had come on the scene; the face of a male she had heard about. Only one name could belong to the new arrival; the male that had been the alpha of Jakoda and whose land was taken from him. Kakashi. He was family now, and the brown and white female accepted and recognized that fact. There would be no mistake that he was to be respected, even by one at an equal rank. All the Anatzuaru were to be respected, but Kakashi was to be respected slightly more.

Red showed more as Annelyse's eyes opened from their current position. As much as she glared at others, she shouldn't be tired of glaring now. But she was, for whatever reason was unknown. The scouring continued as Annelyse looked around for any new arrivals, and when she saw none, she tuned into Kakashi. He was also an Arctic, thus allowing him to fit in even more with her family. Generally speaking, his voice startled her, not really being used to hearing strange wolves talk. She was so much more used to hearing familiar wolves speak, if any spoke at all.

“I am sorry for being late, I was lost in thought over your offer you left me with. I’ll take you up on your said offer my lady and I’ll be glad to do it. Also if you have any questions as to the land or any thing at all about the area please ask.. I am more then willing to help you with any thing my lady”

So, he was respectful. A bonus for her 'brother.' It would definitely give him perks in the pack, being respectful to his pack mates. But should he slip up, he should watch his back. No, Anny didn't aspire to start an all out war in the pack, but she didn't want to give him false security either. If he messed up, he would have her to deal with. After much consideration, she got off her rear end and walked over to Kakashi and her mother, leaving Desmanee sitting alone.

"Welcome to the family brother. I hope you enjoy your stay here," Annelyse welcomed, showing much more friendliness than usual when it came to anyone but her mother. Her mother was one of the only exception to her strange moods. Her and Desmanee. They were the only two to gain her trust and openness.

[River]

Silence, peaceful silence was all she knew for the moment. Since they had first arrived upon this new land and took it over from the former pack the dwelled here prior... Jakoda was it? Jakoda it may have been, but now this was Stonemngard, home of the Queen, Hurricane and those of her offspring and others who were wishing to join their family. Tiyana enjoyed the momentary peace. Things were easy for now, it had only been her mother, herself, her sister Siv, and that former alpha of Jakoda, Kakashi? yeah, that was his name, Kakashi. The dark arctic wolf had spent the first stretch of time exploring their new home, familiarizing herself with the land, and what it had to offer in the form of herbs and sources of food. As the Sapphire of Stonemngard, she'd be charged with the welfare and future of Stonemngard, providing the food for the pack to eat, herbs needed to care for the sick and injured, and a loving, devoted heart to care for the young that would come into their family. It seemed to be a lot, but she hardly minded.

Her slumbering mind was abruptly woken from her peaceful rest as a rather plump from hopped, landing on her head, right between her ears. Wrinkling her nose slightly in annoyance, she sat up, bright blue eyes gazing about her. She hadn't seen any frog around here yet, least not ones that were large as this one. It took only a brief moment for the realization to hit her, this wasn't a normal marsh frog... it didn't smell of the marshlands, it smelled more of... Melchior! her brother must have arrived at last, bringing his strange little 'babies' with him. A small smile formed on her maw as she stood and gave a quick stretch, before turning and starting off, frog still seated on her head.

It took only a few short moments before she caught the scents of the gathering. Her mother, Hurricane, her sisters, Siv, and Annelyse seemed to have arrived. Kakashi was there, and another scent she was not overly familiar with, but known to be a member of the former Jakoda. The last scent to find her was that of her brother, and she quickened her pace, though, careful not to dislodge the frog from its perch. Turning a corner, she let her pace slacken, for they were all now within clear view ahead. Tiyana heard nothing of what had, or was being said as she carefully joined the gathering, stopping beside her brother and dipping her head to deposit his pudgy frog at his paws. She gave a small wink and turned to approach her mother, nodding to each of the gathered wolves as she went.

"My appologies for being late mother"

[River]

If there was anyone that was truly late, it was the Diamond of Stonemngard. For the first time in a long while, all of Sebastian's siblings had beat him to a meeting.

Not that it bothered him much. He had just come back from acclimating himself to the lay of the land. The Queen-Mother had chosen well when she had come to the lands of Jakoda. It was moderately well stocked with prey, had plenty of high elevation to protect from the frequent floods, and had room for the pack to expand. The air was clean and fresh, even by marshland standards.

And there were frogs. Lots of frogs. Melchior should be happy about that.

Sebastian's gait was relaxed as he finally arrived at the meeting place. His mother already stood at the head of the throng, flanked by his siblings. There was Melchior, and Siv, Annelyse, and Tiyana. The family was all together again at last.

And along with them were newcomers. Sebastian guessed the grey wolf with the head tuft was Kakashi, the new Pearl....Hurricane had spoken highly of him. And a male he did not recognize, but he could only assume was once a member of Jakoda.

Sebastian let his grey eyes study the faces of the gathering as he moved to sit beside Annelyse, offering a silent nod to his mother as he did so. There was a young pup next to her, and Sebastian glanced down at it curiously. Cute little thing....

"Did I miss anything?" he asked Annelyse quietly. The gathering seemed orderly enough.

[River]

Annelyse sat on her perch again next to her 'daughter,' waiting for anyone else to show up or her mother to make an announcement. It wasn't long before her sister Tiyana and brother Sebastian showed up. The family was back together again; how nice. It had been at least two years since she had seen her brother and sister, and it was a strangely pleasant surprise to see her siblings again. Under usual circumstances, she wouldn't be happy about seeing anyone other than her mother and Desmanee. Yet, this meeting was different. They were starting a new pack and bringing the family back under one sky for another round of teamwork. In a way, it was almost like her pup days were coming back to haunt her, even including a surrounding of mostly arctic wolves. Both her mother and father had been arctic wolves, thus, her and her siblings were arctics. Desmanee was a gray arctic wolf, and so was Kakashi, the newest addition to the Anatzuaru.

"Did I miss anything?"

Her brother's question snapped her out of her internal babbling. She hadn't noticed him sit beside her, taking his place beside his fellow High Protector. Oddly enough for Annelyse, a comfort came with her brother that brought peace to her mind and safety to her heart. Stonemngard was virtually invincible with the two siblings to protect it. Not to mention their assassin sister Siv, who relished the thought of spilling blood. This family was an odd assortment of colors, but most had a liking for fighting, at least when it came to protection. Siv and Anny were the two that really liked fighting, and would usually find some excuse to pick a fight. Her ruby eyes wandered across the assortment of furs before her, finally coming to rest on Sebastian's. He was looking much stronger since the last time she had seen him. Time on his own to practice had done him good, as it had done for Stonemngard's Ruby.

"Not really. Mother hasn't made any announcements yet. So far, we're just getting the members of Jakoda and our siblings reestablished," She said, with her usual get to the point attitude.
