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.

you're just a puppet
For a wolf on injury-leave, Quirino has been extremely busy. Aside from doctoring up his slashed shoulders sand wounded chest, he has been active in these lands. Andere Seite is his now. A feral growl, almost a purr, rumbles forth from the primordial beast that has awoken within him as he thinks of the lands, reflecting back on the joyous wonder he feels at the activity that rustles through the forest. There are wolves here, now, wolves that have come, seemingly from the woodwork, to make themselves a home in the dark forest. Qui does not know exactly how to feel about the tattered remnants of Cade's and Seline's reigns, as he has yet to actually speak to many of them. That must be remedied soon. A warlord who does not know his own army is not a very good one, after all.
The desire to know his people and meet others is what drives the blood and snow boy in his next set of actions. Forsaking the border patrol that he has been on since the ghost-hours of dawn, he loops down into the center of the territory. His paws carry him forward, tentatively at first, but then more quickly as he reaches better footing. Soon, he has established a regular rhythm on the loamy soil. As he lopes easily through the hidden paths of the great forest, he relishes the lack of stiffness in his newly-healed body. His shoulders are once more fur-covered, and his cracked rib has melded back together seamlessly. He does not stretch out into a gallop, instead choosing to save his energy for things to come, but the desire is there, calling to his young blood. He is excited to meet with the pack.
Quirino arrives at the clearing within moments. He pauses for a moment within the tree-line, observing the sacred place. Bathed in the mid-morning light, it appears almost pretty. The grass gleams emerald, contrasting with the blue, cloudless sky above. Near the center, Seline's rock stands, looking for all the world like a throne. A smirk crosses the crimson male's face as he trots over to it, recalling with fondness the time that he and Cade had battled for supremacy on that very rock (he maintained that the victory had been his own). The genuine expression of amusement fades as he remembers that his sister will likely not appear to challenge him this time as he leaps up onto the stone dais. As he settles himself elegantly into a sit, he runs through the day's agenda once more in his mind.
Finding himself confident, the large wolf takes one deep, cleansing breath before pointing his muzzle to the clear sky and unleashing a wordless, summoning howl. He lowers his head once the sounds of his cry have echoed sufficiently over the vast lands, and waits.
