I wasn’t late. Not even a bit. In fact I was early, leaping easily over the grass and rocks of the pack I had made my own, earthen and gold form sprinting with effortless ease towards the small and gathering group. Jaidah had been gone for some time, resting I think, my mind hardly caring to question it, more taken with thoughts of the other- the female, tho one whom had come to seek the throne of the fields. Was it my fault? Had I made her that angry when I spoke to her that she wanted to take over the whole pack and eat me? Maybe I had, I don’t know. I shook the thoughts from my mind, cruising those last few paces smoothly before I arrived, tail waving in greeting towards Mistress Jaidah, my light, lithe form far, far less heavy then the only other male gathered here. He was new, I had seen Eric allow him into our borders- after all, it was my job to see and hear things, to know things- I knew a lot of things, some of them sure to interest Mistress Jaidah though for now I kept them to myself, gaze lingering on the other male. Elijah he said his name was.
“You look like Reaver.”
What? He did. Was everyone else blind? They were the same size, the same build, even the same colours although I think all Angels look a bit like that now. I moved to let the gold of my eyes linger briefly upon the other female here, this one I knew less off, offering her a nod all the same before my long limbs carried myself to my own seat- tail wrapping about my paws as I sat. I hadn’t considered, really, what I would do if that other female managed to take these lands and drive away Mistress Jaidah. I liked it here, I liked the fields- maybe I would stay if I could still do my job. I was good at it and getting better, at least I thought- even taking on the challenge of Bellatrix and I think that was deserving of, well, something. I didn’t see signs of any others, at least not yet, lips pulling into a grin for Jaidah by way of greeting as I simply waited for the others to arrive. I wasn’t like them, I knew that already, I knew what they did- most of them and while I didn’t exactly approve, well, as long as they didn’t eat me it was alright I suppose. I was faster then them anyway, all of them, they couldn’t catch me to eat me so they would have to turn their attention elsewhere.
I allowed myself to stretch a little, working the kinks from my spine before seating myself comfortably once more, earthen pelt seeming darker in this light before turning my gaze towards Jaidah, waiting to hear exactly why when had been gathered.
