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 did not have to wait long for one of the leaders to show up and assess the newcomer. Just as Grey Wind finished speaking Scarlet Nights appeared, telling the brute on the ground that there was no need to get up now that she was there. She did not glance at the grey brute as she approached the stranger, holding her jaw over his throat in a somewhat threatening manner, telling him who was in charge in this pack. Scarlet spoke to brute after she backed away from his vulnerable flesh, “Well now, it isn’t every day a wolf throws himself at my feet and tell me to do whatever I want…..go on, tell me your name and why you’ve come here.” Grey Wind smirked at her words, enjoying the show that she was putting on, enjoying hearing her words. Sebastian introduced himself and said his purpose was to join the pack and Grey Wind looked towards his Queen, waiting to see what she thought of him. “I’m going to allow you a chance. You had better prove my instincts right. “ She then turned her gaze towards the grey brute, smiling and winking at him. Grey Wind did not know what to make of her actions, so he kept his face a mask, not reacting to her actions, just waiting for her words. “Captain, lead our new soul here to Marx and tell him he’s to assess his potential and then test him thoroughly.” He nodded his head respectfully to her, ”Yes ma’am.” She turned and left, giving the pair on look over her shoulder before disappearing back into the trees. Grey Wind turned towards Sebastian, who had kept his bodice lowered to the ground until Scarlet had walked away. The grey brute watched the male that stood in front of him, wondering if he really had it in him to be a member of Abendrot. The pack was not for everyone, in fact it was not for most wolves. Sadistic thoughts and tendencies did not lie at the heart of every lupine, and only the wolves with dark hidden secrets had their home here. He wondered what dark past Sebastian had that drove him to come to Abendrot. He wouldn’t ask of course, those were secrets that the lupine could keep to himself, unless he wanted to share, then Grey Wind was all ears. Grey Wind stood, speaking briefly to Sebastian before his pillars leading them somewhere else, somewhere more suitable to meet Marx, ”Follow me. We’re going to meet Marx now.” He turned towards the trees, heading deeper into Abendrot territory, not looking back to see if Sebastian was following. If the male wanted to be accepted fully into the pack he would follow to meet up with the leader of the soldiers. He lead the newcomer to the deeper parts of the woods, where the trees grew thick and the air grew dark. He stopped at a small patch where there were less trees growing, enough room for Marx to test Sebastian as Grey Wind had been tested upon his arrival. The brute once again lifted his muzzle to the sky, this time calling for Marx to come and join them. The brute sat down again, yellow orbs studying Sebastian once more, waiting to see if he wanted to chat or wait in silence for Marx to join them, either was fine with the brute. ________________________________________________________________________ |
