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.

Athene's forward motion did not change, however, for his facade did not bother her, especially when he relaxed after another moment, his own plume swaying a single time before he started to question her. Hello there, who might you be? As she moved to his side, he raised a single brow as she moved to his side and continued to walk instead of stopping. Are you patrolling the borders as well or were you on a more ambitious mission? I'd hate to distract you from something more important. Athene chuckled softly but said nothing, shrugging briefly, the motion altering her stride for a single moment. He smirks at her, introducing himself when she instead remains silent. Ah, how rude of me. I am Cuirass, son of Eric and Seline and full brother to Kronos. Quirino and Cade are my half siblings. I am Satanican and newly arrived from the exotic lands of Moladian. Where do you come from? Athene paused in her stride, this time it was her time to raise a brow. Was he trying to impress her? The words meant naught to her as they were just that - words. She did not know him, nor did she know most of the names that he had dropped in his extensive monologue. And then there had been the term - 'Satanican' - that too, was something she had not heard of before. In short, he had offered forward nothing disguised as importance, before demanding personal facts from her own life. Still... he was a pack mate. She might as well answer now rather than later - she would withhold her judgement of him until his actions described him, one way or the other. "Of all that was said, all I know is your name The rest was for show, to try to grow fame. Your bloodlines are past, and are all well and good Your actions are what shape you, like rings in wood. As for me, I am mated to Zev, my name is Athene I have a twin sister who goes by Hellene. We have been gone from here a long time Resting, waiting, for a new Alpha's chime. Now what is this term you so casually used - Satanican? I find myself confused. Explain if you will, exactly what that means be straight if you would, not like a young teen who preens." It was not like her to be rude, or straightforward, but she also did not enjoy flashy titles and tall tales. If he could drop the facade and be truthful to his own, it would say more about him than any novel of words. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |
