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.

It felt good to have a nap, even if it was shorter than planned and it had only taken the rains a minute to diminish his mood slightly, he simply thought of Kimani and her to-be pups and smiled. Trotting towards another newcomer, a fae this time, he kept smiling, although his black lips stayed sealed shut, so in the dim light of the cloud cover and the dense, yet high canopy of Andere, the totally ebony demon was as close to invisible as you could get, so he didn’t need to stalk to come very close to the fae, crouched slightly beneath shrubs.
He eyes her and titled his head to one side, intrigued by the pile of dead squirrels in front of her, offerings weren’t really necessary, I meant, if you were going to bring something, you might of thought of the whole pack, after all ,a pack is more than its alpha. A pack included the ground you ran on, the water you drank, the very wildlife that lived alongside the wolves, no doubt this wolf could hunt, as she was healthy and toned, the offering gave her favour, but not probably as much as she was hoping for.
The Magnificent demon stepped forward, revealing him completely and coming to sit maybe three or feet before her, over the border. He was silent in his observations and finally leant down, his muddy orbs on her, because you never really did know what to expect with newcomers, hell, she might break out into song and dance, dinner with a show, as some say. He sniffed at the carcasses, tiny, but all ten of them were fresh and healthy and so would be consumed by him. Not exactly a meal, but something to keep him going until the hunting party returned from the Plateau. He straightened and spoke, his leathery tones greeting the black and grey ess.
Submit to join Andere.
Plague did not mess around and after she did so, he smiled, and then spoke up once more. His muddy orbs were friendlier, although his banner was still arched high over his back, like a scorpion’s tale ready to strike
Welcome, newest member of Andere. I am Plague, your king. Kimani is your Queen. What is your name?
She has promise, he thought.
