I watched the little black and redmarked girl as she watches me, I know this isn’t right, isn’t correct, but father thinks that these wolves are not really ‘demons’ not the ones he was used to at least. The only real demon apparently was Tobias and other wolves that chose to dine on each other than the proper way of simply eating other weaker creatures than us. There were reasons we do not hunt bears for food on a normal occasion. Sure sometimes wolves, mostly warriors and adrenaline seekers go hunting bear and cougars for fun, but I don’t know that they eat them once they kill them. I don’t know how this girl, a seemingly normal girl could eat the flesh of another wolf.
She says that if she were to become a leader she wants to take over her own home land. I suppose I see the charm in taking over your birth home and ruling over the ones you already knew and befriended was probably the best way. I knew one could take over another land though and sometimes just your closest friends followed you there and you didn’t have to deal with those you didn’t like… Namely.. Most of my family. I suppose that is why I have no interest in claiming Diveen from my sister and her kin. It wasn’t like she hated me like most the others anyway. I understand their frustration in father having another mate other than their mother, I guess, but it was his choice an surely Zeivah would wish for her mate to be happy. I nod to the girl understanding her desire to claim her homeland but I do not feel the same way, because of that.
I couldn’t help but smile as the girl seemed lightened by me telling her that she doesn’t need to worry about anyone knowing she was up here. Perhaps she will be my own little friend, or a Iromar demon that I can show the light too. Maybe not, but it would be something that no one in my family seemed to try to do or bother with they think they are all a lost cause, but like my father I think I can see potential in the girl that stands before me.
I feel her pain somewhat as she says that all her siblings are larger and bigger than her. Yeah, they were they same age at least though, my oldest siblings are almost ten years old now and many of them have children older than I am too. She says that she could probably get them into trouble and a laugh a little at that, ”Not too much now, but just enough. They are still family.” I give her a little wink much like how my father had done to me whenever he would give me some advice. I don’t know that she would actually do it or not, but I hoped her the best with her task. She asks me then why I can’t have my pack and I know the answer I always have.
”Yeah, they are bigger and much older than I am too… And they have their own kids that already have the throne. I may be a princess but that throne is not mine… And I don’t want it either. I’ll make my own throne to sit upon somewhere, someday.” My tail flicks slightly I can feel her eyes on me but I turn my own emerald gaze away from her looking over the rocky lands.
She seems very curious about Saintly and I give a sad smile as she says she wishes to meet him and wishes her brothers were like mine. I hear Saintly say that he wishes he could meet her too, but he can’t he can’t talk to anyone cause no one but me can know he is with me still. I miss my brother dearly and that is the reason why she is special. Her brothers should treat her like mine did. He was sick and weak when he was living but he still treated me nice.
”I wish you had brothers like mine too and wish you could meet him… “ I trail off giving a little sigh knowing she won’t understand unless I just say it. “My brother died…” It hurts me and I feel his warm go into me, he never left me alone though he is here with me now telling me it was okay. I know I never got to embrace him anymore or play but he was here and we could talk and be together. “He’s with me here though.” I say putting my paw to the white mark on my chest, touching where I could feel my heart beat. I wonder if she understands, wonder if she ever lost anyone. I hope not, no one needs to feel the loss and hurt I have felt in my life.
