 “Do you know what the problem with this pack land is, hmm?” I paused momentarily once more, blackened claws resting at the edge of the Taviora border, head turning to incline back towards my companion, violet gaze resting against the gold of Devils own. It has been a long time, to long, perhaps, since my oldest friend and I have taken any time to wander from Diveen and yet, I suppose, the both of us are content to- well…..bask in the sun. I hardly see how that makes either of us old. In fact, I’m rather inclined to think that simply makes us exceptionally talented in the conservation of energy. Hmm, perhaps I should at that to my many titles. Heyel, the Assassin King, The Jester King, King of Moladion, King of Conserving Energy. Seems fitting. I smirked lightly at my own internal humour, one eye lifting, waiting for Devil to ask what I though the problem with the land was, gaze meeting his own, the black male evidently attempting to keep his stoic silence and not further continue this conversational flow. “Glad you asked. The problem is the trees. There are far to many, the shadows only grow longer and deeper the further in we go, it prevents the borders from being adequately observed and why, Malina, do we need to keep an eye on borders?” I turned this time to my apprentice, though indeed an assassin in her own right now and despite her….transgressions I am still content to favour her as I often have. I very near raised her as my own, she walked beside me for years and that is not easily forgotten and indeed while perhaps she has changed over the years and very near reeks of another female although heaven knows why…some part of me still….cares for the girl whom used to play in my shadow, who had watched over Valkyrie with me, whom ad talked and teased and tested every rule I knew. She is, perhaps, not the girl she used to be. She is quieter, duller….older maybe and yet even when I look at her I am sure something has changed within her, something is different and yet even I am not so sure what it is. She is just not…..the hot-headed, vibrant, bright creature she used to be. Perhaps she simply grew up, I hardly know, regardless I grow tired of useless nostalgia, waiting for the girl to answer before returning my attention to my Neveah to ensure she was listening, after all, how often is my child given the privilege of time with myself, her Uncle and one of my better apprentices. I dipped my head, nudging the black girl forward before moving to step over the border myself. I hardly know if Coza has been told we are coming- I hardly care. I never did like boundaries. “This pack is also decidedly to….bushy. I’m surprised anyone can ever find anything.” It was more a muttering complaint then anything else, eyes rolling at my own comment before breaking into a lope, easily keeping pace with Devil, pleased to be by his side once more- after all, there are precious few I trust so much, precious few with whom I have held a friendship so strong and so old. Of all the wolves in Moladion, aside from my own mate, it is Devil to whose call I will always answer. I lifted my muzzle momentarily to the sky, testing for any trace of the scent of any of Moths children, having formed a distinct distaste for the lot of them after my last visit. Satisfied we were alone I pressed forward once more, halting abruptly, head jerking back towards Neveah. If she wanted to learn, she might as well learn right. “Neveah…..I can see all your paw prints and I can hear you crunching on the snow. You are blacked pelted Baby Girl, the snow will not hide you as it does me, you need to learn to work against this disadvantage, see how Malina and you uncle Devil walk? Learn from them.” I moved forward a final time, dropping lower and into the forest, much of the ground here free of snow, the white ice and frost unable to penetrate the thickness of the trees and yet still the forest was riddled with scents, wolf and prey alike. To find a single drop of blood from an attack some weeks ago was not impossible, no, but it was hardly easy and yet…..I had something akin to faith in the wolves I had brought with me. “Malina, Neveah- head out that way. I am told the attack occurred here, yet that Tobias moved in that direction after he severed the limb, pick up any scent you can, he was injured there will be a trail in some regard or another, find it.” I paused, assuring neither my daughter nor Malina saw fit to argue. After all, I still out rank them both. I paused then beside Devil, when paw seeping at the cold ground beneath us, brushing at the light covering of frost and the faintest scent that lingered below it, gesturing for Devil to inspect what I’d found. “This, I am rather assured is where it happened, the question this leaves for us, is from where did Tobias come. He may have moved back the way he came.” The Assassin King |
