The air is heavy as you make your way through unknown territory, as you pause to sniff the air a drop of rain falls onto your nose. It is soon followed by another and another and soon the rain is pelting down in sheets, soaking you to the bone. The clouds are an angry purple and the menacing drumming of thunder rolls over the sky. Squinting your eyes against the blinding water you find yourself at the edge of a large, dark pine forest. You are too desperate for shelter to notice the scents that mark the border and plunge in, and nearly into the chilly stream that runs through the territory. You veer away and as you are shaking the water out of your fur you notice a large pair of icy blue shards gazing at you. The storm has passed now and beams of sunlight filter through the thick canopy of pines, illuminating a massive male wolf not three feet away from where you stand.

His pelt looks like a bad patchwork job of black and white and beneath them you see large, hard bands of steely muscle and you know this is a warrior for his torso is marred with many battle scars. His banner curls over his back and his lips are drawn, exposing sharp ivory daggers. When he speaks his voice is deep and dominant, like the thunder you so recently heard.

"Wolf, you have found yourself in the terra of the Andere Seite Pack. I am Eclipse, king of this land."

It is only then that you notice another pair of lanterns gleaming in the penumbra and a dark-pelted fae slinks out into the clearing to stand next to the king, her own banner waves and her green and blue eyes bore into you. She is the same size as most males and a crisscrossing pattern of scars show that she too can take care of herself. Her voice is cold and has a snake-like sound to it yet you can see they are both fair rulers.

"And I am Nephthys, queen of Andere. We don’t care much for strangers so you must make your choice, Submit to us now or flee our lands and never return. If you fail to do either you will have little time left to regret it."

The formidable pair pierces you with their gaze and you feel as if all your secrets spill out before them. You are left with a decision now. Will you submit and take refuge in this dark forest or will you flee and never know what secrets these trees hide? Make haste, you can see that the pair grow tired of waiting.

shadows cry out

Nephthys was stretched out in the shadows, her two different colored eyes half closed. Her wounds were starting to heal, at least her physical ones, and the pain was starting to become an ignorable throb in the back of her head. Her heart, on the other hand, was shredded and completely broken. Even she did not want to pick up the pieces and risk hurting herself more.

She took in a deep breath and released it, closing her eyes. Her black body blended easily with the shadows, and it was easy to miss her. She'd disappeared right after the attack to try and let herself heal, alone, without anyone looking over her shoulder. It hadn't done her much good, so she'd returned.

A soft song whispered through the trees and her ears perked up. It was Plague, but it wasn't the song she'd expected. She'd expected him to be calling her sister, Kimani, but no. It seemed he was calling for her. Maybe to try and piece their rocky relationship to safer grounds. He could try. Nephthys wouldn't help much, but then she wouldn't make it any worse either. She was tired of fighting, tired of having to keep her head above the water. She was content to finally relax, to live as if she'd lived a long and hard life. Maybe she'd try being the old, wise wolf. She snorted loudly. No, she didn't think she could do that. She had to many teeth.

Nephthys stood carefully and raised her head, sending out her own song. It was cold and rock hard, filled with the sorrows of ages, and twisted with the shadows. She was the Queen of the Night, after all. She and her namesake had much in common. Rulers of the night, with plenty of darkness mixed into their souls, but loyal to their sisters and to their sisters' families.

Nephthys finished her song abruptly, having just told Plague that she was present, well, and thinking about joining him. Now, when her feet actually started their slow journey to where he stood, that was another matter. But better not keep him waiting to long. She slipped into the shadows, disappearing into thin air. She knew this place like the back of her paw, and easily found where the King waited. She kept the shadows, keeping her scent from blowing into his nostrils, and waited silently. After a few minutes, she decided it was time to grace him with her presence.

Slipping out of the shadows into the light, she appeared before him. "Plague," She said plainly, her blue and green eyes filled with the insanity that had finally reached her heart's depths.
