I am not impressed with the way my brother clambers onto my back. I grumble and stumble slightly finding some amusement in the fact that when he decides to take a land I could have a castle. But why would no one else build it for me? I am sure I can find someone who will like me enough to build me my own little castle. Haul some rocks and pelts whatever it’s not like I wouldn’t reward them for their work. I would protect them and give them a place to stay in my castle of course but of course my brother insists that I will have to do it myself. ”You will be helping me if I build it myself. I am helping you build a kingdom, a castle should be the least of your worries!” I say though it isn’t long after that he goes tumbling off me with whatever had left in his thoughts. I wonder what Grandfather tells him sometimes, he expects great things of us all and I will do my best to provide my brother the support he needs to get to his own goals.
I think about what my ultimate goal will be. It is no secret to me what Hyrule’s are, but mine are much smaller. Currently it is just helping my younger siblings reach all of their goals, just what a good big brother should do. Jaeger wants to be a good warrior and Nineveh an Assassin I believe. I’m not sure, she’s a girl maybe she wants to be a mom or something I don’t know girls are weird… but Hyrule he’s pretty easy to figure out, we are on the same level sort of though I am certainly still more handsome and no title of future king or whatever will change that. I wriggle my liver colored nose at the comment that all his ideas were good. That was debatable I can think of some times when his ideas were not so good. Like climbing on my back only to plummet back into the ground and roll about that wasn’t quite a good idea, but the tree one. That I certainly agreed with. Say what he wills about my leafy accessories I looked damn good in them and he would have to admit it someday.
It is then that we are interrupted. The girl does not seem very pleased she seemed to ignore everything I have said infact. Was she deaf? Or simply knew she was wrong and thus did not dignify a reply? Probably for the better lest she spew something else foolish from her maw, though as she grew angry I couldn’t help but be amused. She was going to kill us? Or Hyrule for speaking what likely would be the truth? Few leaders ruled for so long, only two current leaders have held lands for longer than 4 years and only two more from the past. Otherwise packs change paws it was likely, Grandfather said there were many different leaders passing paws when he was King. I mean even in my short life two packs have changed paws.
I listen to my brother, standing silently though still I hold a smile on my maw, my full red banner giving a little wave as my multi-colored eyes wander from one girl to the other. I had no idea we were followed by some runt from Diveen, he wasn’t invited and I sure as heck only expected maybe one of our other siblings to follow not some whatever he was. I didn’t know he was there though nor did I care, we were just scouting it was these girls who had to make it a problem especially as my wandering rainbow eyes spot the other, obviously more intelligent of the two, girls move towards Hyrule in what was an obviously aggressive fashion. It is a big Brother’s duty to protect his younger siblings. I jump forward, I do not use fangs, I do not snarl or do any sort of ugly facial expression I narrow my brows and a grin crosses my face as I aim to surprise her instead, ramming my shoulder into her smaller side to knock her away from him.
”So hostile, you couldn’t be any less civil.” I say hit or miss I don’t care my red and white form moves to form a barrier in front of my brother. It’s not like he needs protection, but really they were the ones slinging around harsh words we were just replying. But then a gold and white figure and a rush of noise touches my red ears and smell assults my nose, that of home. I whip my form around eyes landing on a wolfess I have seen before, a cousin I think, she looks at us angrily, I know better than to complain or fight when an adult comes around at my age though. I roll my shoulders and my eyes, moving away from the girls and towards the female I suspect was sent to retrieve us and for the first time I see the other boy. I blink a little confused certain he ratted us out and that was why this female was here. Well… whatever. I pause though when she moves to grab Hyrule’s muzzle though.
" Non enim erat magnifice hoc, non punire.""It was my idea not his, don’t punish him for it." I say my red ears falling back doing my best to look guilty. I will lie for him if it means he stays out of trouble but from there it was up to her to decide who to punish if not both of us. I walk with her then, spotting to more males as we are gathered up under our retriever to be dragged back home. I look to the boy who looks utterly mortified and turn as we walk out of the lands just in time to see a huge male come crashing in at some other, but I couldn’t get a good look as the snow thickened and we were well on our way home.
