The air is heavy as you make your way through unknown territory, as you pause to sniff the air a drop of rain falls onto your nose. It is soon followed by another and another and soon the rain is pelting down in sheets, soaking you to the bone. The clouds are an angry purple and the menacing drumming of thunder rolls over the sky. Squinting your eyes against the blinding water you find yourself at the edge of a large, dark pine forest. You are too desperate for shelter to notice the scents that mark the border and plunge in, and nearly into the chilly stream that runs through the territory. You veer away and as you are shaking the water out of your fur you notice a large pair of icy blue shards gazing at you. The storm has passed now and beams of sunlight filter through the thick canopy of pines, illuminating a massive male wolf not three feet away from where you stand.
His pelt looks like a bad patchwork job of black and white and beneath them you see large, hard bands of steely muscle and you know this is a warrior for his torso is marred with many battle scars. His banner curls over his back and his lips are drawn, exposing sharp ivory daggers. When he speaks his voice is deep and dominant, like the thunder you so recently heard.
"Wolf, you have found yourself in the terra of the Andere Seite Pack. I am Eclipse, king of this land."
It is only then that you notice another pair of lanterns gleaming in the penumbra and a dark-pelted fae slinks out into the clearing to stand next to the king, her own banner waves and her green and blue eyes bore into you. She is the same size as most males and a crisscrossing pattern of scars show that she too can take care of herself. Her voice is cold and has a snake-like sound to it yet you can see they are both fair rulers.
"And I am Nephthys, queen of Andere. We don’t care much for strangers so you must make your choice, Submit to us now or flee our lands and never return. If you fail to do either you will have little time left to regret it."
The formidable pair pierces you with their gaze and you feel as if all your secrets spill out before them. You are left with a decision now. Will you submit and take refuge in this dark forest or will you flee and never know what secrets these trees hide? Make haste, you can see that the pair grow tired of waiting.

 ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ She stumbled a few steps as a form bumped into her – not forcefully, but enough so to put her off balance. It surprised her – she must have been in a daze, for normally there was no way any could sneak up on her, and it was clear this brute had not been trying to catch her unawares. Her cranium whipped about and her lids narrowed as she studied him, her honey gaze examining him. I’m terribly sorry, I was not looking where I was going. The voice… rang a bell. Closing her lids fully, she flared her nares and inhaled deeply, tasting the air in order to get a sense for his scent. Slowly, her kissers curled into a smile and her gaze returned, settling upon him. Finally, she could place him – he had been at the pack meeting all those long months ago – the meeting which had never truly been finished except with silence. That had been the one and only time that they had met, and she did not think that they had even conversed, but it was definitely him. Ghost? Yes, perhaps that was his name… and in truth that is what he was. A ghost from her past, and perhaps from his own. The brute quieted, his voice barely managing to eek out a few mumbled words - Names Ghost by the way. Athene nodded, still smiling. She shook, straightening out the hairs that his pressure had misplaced, her coat fluffing out once again. Then she began to circle him, smelling every scent upon him, trying to gain some knowledge of what else had transpired in her absence. It had a few faint scents upon it, but mainly it was dull… apparently he had been as inactive as she had been. Had this entire pack been hibernating over the winter as bears did? It apparently had awoken from its slumber sooner that she had – she was late to the party. But late was better than never. Finally, she ceased her motions and stood before him. To those she did not know – to strangers – she hid her name. A name held power. Zev, after all, had stolen her heart and soul away from her after learning her name. It had been all fun at first… but that had been only until she bared her name to him. It had been a downward spiral since then. Not in a bad way, but she could not deny that it had changed her life forever. But to digress, Ghost was no stranger. They did not particularly know one another, but this was home to both of them, and through the bond of the pack, they were family indeed. “I know your name Ghost My own is Athene Aside from this pack, the only family I can boast Is my sister, Hellene. Long have I been gone – Away with my mate. Now I know naught that gone on In regards to this pack’s fate. So please tell me now Ghost, if you would be so kind what happenings this pack can now boast so I can expect what to find.” ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |
