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.

As Nephthys stepped out of the darkness, she could tell that Plague was prepared for such an act. It seemed that her reputation for doing so was getting to be known around these parts. As they should, since Nephthys had been here since she was but a mere pup. She stood calmly under Plague's brief studying glance, though she wasted none of her time laying her gaze over him. She knew what she would find, he couldn't have changed much since the first time she'd seen him. The fury and rage was gone, but everything else still remained.

He took one confident step towards her before stopping. She raised a single eyebrow, but otherwise didn't show any other emotion. She felt none, either. She felt rather empty, actually, drained of all the emotions that used to keep her running. Well, drained until an accidental spark lights the gunpowder.

A soft twitch of her lips echoed his own, but lasted a little longer after his disappeared. She dipped her head silently, but otherwise didn't speak. She waited but a breath after his haunches lowered to the ground before she, too, sat. The breath between his action and her's following was not out of some superior attitude that had yet to leave her, but in respect to him. If he sat, than she would follow, same as if he were to stand.

She cocked her head a little, listening to his words as he explained his reasons for calling her. They were good ones and Nephthys respected them. "Wise of you, Plague. And I agree we should settle the relations between us, better now than later." Her eyes narrowed slightly and she locked her orbs onto his. With someone else foolish enough to do this, he would have snapped out their throats in seconds. But Nephthys doubted he would harm her, mostly for fear of his mate's wrath. That was the only reason Nephthys could be sure of.

"I do not like you mating with my sister, Plague, I think I made myself clear on that before. My greatest fear is that she will one day be like me, abandoned with a broken or shredded heart. And if I find you the cause of it, than I will kill you." She said it simply, as if it were a matter of the weather. It was fact, and she didn't care what he thought of it. Let him kill her now and she would thank him; she had no quarrel with death now. "As of you being Alpha, I'll be no trouble. You know how to lead a pack well, Plague, and I trust you to lead my people and friends. As for my place in your pack," She paused, eyes narrowed as she thought about it. "As long as you keep my people safe, and do not harm my sister, I will be a silent...observer. I never did take orders well and I still don't. I hope that you will trust me not to interfere with your rule. I have no taste for ruling anymore."

She'd said her part and so fell silent, emotionless for the dancing flicker of her eyes. She noticed, though, that something seemed to bother Plague, a question perhaps. And it could not be contained. The question he suddenly blurted out hit Nephthys like a sack of rocks. Her eyes flickered up to meet his, slightly rounded with shock, her breathing halted for a brief second until she let it out in a deep snarl. It ended rather abrubtly as she sighed and looked away, her eyes distant with thought. "That is something I cannot answer, for I do not fully know the answer myself, Plague. I would love to kill him for the hurt he has bestowed upon me, and yet I long to hear why he left, and to forgive him if he would stay." She looked back at him, a sudden smile tugging her lips. "Of course, that is not the type of answer you were looking for. As I said, dear Plague, I have no taste for ruling anymore. Your throne is safe."
