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.

(Sorry for the wait. I've been busy with family and low on muse.)


Nephthys listened silently to the words he spoke, but they didn't mean anything to her. What he could do meant nothing to her. She didn't care. She snarled softly and stepped forward just a little. Her mix matched orbs narrowed and her lips twitched. "I don't care what you can do, wolf." She hissed softly. Her claws broke into the ground as her weight shifted, much like a cat mixing bread. Sanity was starting to fade completely as she continued to drag out this meeting. Before she'd met him, sanity had been a cloud overhead. When she'd first met his eyes, it had been a dream. As things progressed, it was a memory of a dream, and now even that was fading. She couldn't even make herself dismiss Coal and Corvus.
"I don't like you." She said, her tone sly and slippery while a smile twitched at her lips. "What is there to stop me from killing you?" It was something she'd have ever thought before. When she was Queen, she'd been fair and a wise ruler. When her sister had taken over, she'd kept her own company because she didn't want to socialize. Never before had she ever wanted to kill someone because something about them made her heart burn with hate. The thought would have made her shudder before in horror, but now she didn't even hesitate. But what was stopping her from pouncing on the male and killing him?

Suddenly a warm body bumped against her and she froze. The scent was that of Zanzibar and her heart immediately softened. She turned to look at him and sighed softly. Maybe she had been hiding a little too well for him to find her, but she had missed him. He had grown, too, and was nearing her belly in height. She reached down and licked to top of his head in greeting. She had long ago accepted him as her own and her love for him was the only thing holding her here.

She then remembered that the male wolf was still waiting. Still standing there watching her. The desire to protect Zanzibar rose up in her chest like fire, over powering the hate that had previously burned there. Now she had something to hold her back, to keep her from killing him where he stood. But it wouldn't take much to break even that bond.
