The forest stands tall and lush here; ancient trees reach weather-twisted arms to the sky, fighting monster-like storm clouds back with their interlacing fingers. Shadow seems to lurk everywhere you look, but it spills calmly, coolly, inspiring a sense of stealthy calm or protection rather than unease. That is, if you've forgotten what kind of creature might be stalking just out of sight...Abendrot is a land cradled by the dark woods on all sides; in the center, some of the larger trees stay behind to reveal a small plateau - a citadel where this pack can gather and defend itself from invaders. There are, of course, softer sides to the land. Clearings here and there allow the sun to throw down its rays in incongruously resplendent gold showers. Ignore the lingering scents of blood spattered here and there along the borders: those do not concern you. The river on one edge of the territory is playful enough when it hasn't been gorged by violent rain. You can choose to note the ragged claw marks raked down tree trunks and the forest floor as friendly "Home Sweet Home" signs, if you wish.
All who treasure loyalty, order, victory, and the occasional indulgence of raw visceral pleasure are welcome, once they've been approved by the ever-watchful eyes of Abendrot's Alpha. But keep one thing in mind: no matter what your motive, this is not a fool's Paradise. This is the land of soldiers, assassins, and spies. This is ABENDROT.
Make up your mind quickly and prepare to prove your worth. You wouldn't want to add to those blood spatters, would you...?

All Men Should Keep Their Word, Kings Most of All  |
_________________________________________________________________________ The brute approached the stranger at the borders and was surprised when he saw the male submit to him. Grey Wind was no alpha, and he did not carry himself like an alpha, so he was shocked to see that the stranger was submitting to him. He supposed some lupines were the type to submit to any ranked wolf, maybe trying to get on the packs good side to get in. The male tucked his tail, ears flat against his skull respectfully, but not fearfully, which Grey Wind knew would be important to get into Abendrot. Kershov would not want wolves that were afraid, fear was not something that their pack needed, but respect, especially resect to Ker, was very important. Once Grey Wind questioned the stranger’s intentions it did not take long for him to get an answer, "My name is Sebastian, and if Abendrot would be willing to accept me, I'd like to join. It isn't very often when a pack catches my eye, you see, I've been on my own for quite a while. From what I've observed, Abendrot is a strong pack, along with their leader, Kershov. I not only wish to join, but I long to be a warrior. An Abendrot Warrior. And if not a warrior, then I will be more than pleased with whatever Abendrot has in mind for me." The grey brute nodded in understanding, knowing that Abendrot housed many warriors. He spoke again to the lupine now known as Sebastian, ”Get up off the ground. It is not me you need to submit to, though I appreciate your enthusiasm, but it is to the rulers here that require your submitting, Kershov the King and Scarlet Nights, his Queen. It will be up to them if you are accepted into these lands and where you belong here. If you are accepted and allowed to be a warrior then I will be happy to consult with Marx, the leader of the soldiers here, and AutumnLeaf, my co-captain on what use you can be to us.” With that Grey Wind lifted his muzzle to the sky and called to his leaders, knowing that they would come when they were ready. His yellow orbs looked back at the male at the border, ”Now we wait and see your fate.” The brute sat calmly, waiting to see who would answer his call first and what would become of the stranger trying to join their lands. ________________________________________________________________________ |
