From the start, Cassiopa and Lestram were at odds. Though Cassiopa was plain on the outside, her mind was wonderfully beautiful. As soon as she realized that her parents were not sharing the lore and laws of the Gods with her siblings, she had gone to her parents, pleading with them to reconsider. Cassiopa feared the wrath of Tor and Fenris, as she rightly should, and did not want any mistakes to be made, but the word of her father was law both for the pack and the land and Cassiopa's pleas were gone unanswered. Cygnus feared, as her daughter did, but her mate had been warped by the power that he had gained, and so his envy and greed only grow and Cygnus began to cower in his shadow. And once Ameira had been bore, Cygnus had been the Lily no longer, for that honor had been passed down to the pup that she had born.

Cassiopa had put off her betrothal as long as possible, agreeing to be mated only once her young sister, Ameira, was matured for she wanted to protect her, and it was because of this that she came to be the nurse who aided her own mother in the birthing of her last and final litter. It was Cassiopa who first saw the distorted pups, the monsters that her mother and father had been cursed with, and it was Cassiopa who had declared to the family that Cygnus had become barren and that the full wrath of the Gods would soon be raining down upon them. Only after the terrors of their disconduct were born to fruit did her father come to her for advice and counsel, only then was her worth seen at long last. And so it was once more Cassiopa who was figured out a plan to appease the Gods by getting the pack back on course. There would be a year long festival for all royals to be held in their boundaries. Her mother's barrenness would be kept secret, of course. But the presence of the royals would be to not only decide which packs were eligible to claim the new Lily, but to ensure the consummation of Cassiopa to her betrothed, ensure the consummation of Ameira to her betrothed, and to then hold a double wedding should all go well. The participating packs would bring gifts that would feed the host pack, hiding their famine, and it would finally appease the gods. It was a flawless plan.
