He could see Dexter was keeping things, but that was almost normal. Amoxtli always had been so open to everything and he didn’t mind if Dexter had things he wanted to keep to himself. It was just how he was to Amoxtli and how it had always been. Nothing unusual or anything to cause him alarm. However Amoxtli was sure he could safely assume Dexter knew one thing and that was who was not leader of Taviora anymore. It was as obvious as the border they stood on, but the way it passed and what had happened that was all, muddled. However for the moment it was set aside as Dexter mentioned sometime he would hear the stories of the lands outside of Moladion, surrounding the world. That was something Amoxtli couldn’t wait to hear. Perhaps the boys should listen too, that would be a good time for all of them he thought.

”I’m going to hold you to that even if it means holding you down until you spill.” Amoxtli teased lightly grinning at his smaller brother. He thought maybe he could still do that at least, but by looks alone Amoxtli could tell maybe that might not be as easy of a feat as he teased. Dexter seemed to have grown stronger and bulkier, Amoxtli the same as he was before if not less so over the time they had been apart. It was terrible to see how much his health, his feelings regarding everything had changed and he was certain that his brother wasn’t missing a beat of it. He was sharp eyed, after all he used to be their scout and runner for the pack, the first wolf to see if they needed protection.

The look on Dexter’s face though at the mention of their father, caused him to smile again though, his spirits again lifting at seeing the relief of the knowledge that their father was still clinging in there. ”He’s still tough as always. Gimps a little on that bad leg of his, but he keeps up with all the young ones somehow. He enjoys it. But, of course I will catch you up, though I am not sure when Zeltzin will be back… but that’s part of the catching up I guess.” He sighed at the end giving a motion for them to perhaps move into the pack so by the end they would probably be at their father’s den towards the center of the lands.

”I guess it all started right after you left, I was poisoned. Someone left something on a fresh kill of mine and when I went to get it. Well. It was pretty fast. I know I seem okay, but I am not, I am messed up. I shake violently sometimes, uncontrollable. Seizures, Shiloh called them. We went to see Meryl and Zeltzin has been doing her best with me but they can’t be stopped. I should be happy I am alive at all though. It was a close call… But I had to give up my leadership. I couldn’t barely move to hunt for myself for months, my boys were too young and father couldn’t take up the reigns again. So we turned to someone else.” he let all that sink in for his brother for a moment still walking but looking at his dark brown toes now.

”Zelda, she brought a boy by the name of Hyrule. They are mates I suppose, or were pretty much what Shiloh and I were ages before I finally got the guts to say something. She was too young to rule herself so she asked him to help. Things were good under him. I dare say he was better than I was, but then she turned of age and he had his own things to return too. He was around a lot at first, helping Zelda taking care of business, but then he grew more and more distant until just recently when he left to go to his own homeland to learn. Zelda she’s a good leader, again a lot better than I was, but I worry for her, I think we all do. It’s not easy being an alpha. Hearing those calls. I still get chills sometimes thinking about the wolves who called me to battle. I fear for her when it inevitably happens, she won’t be ready. But…” He cut himself off shaking his head slightly, ”Taviora hasn’t changed much under Zelda or Hyrule. We are still peaceful as we can be.” He figured that was a good of start as any to catch him up with. The change of the lands, the elephant in the room here. Amoxtli was not happy with how the change had happened of course, but he did believe Zelda and Hyrule were better leaders than he had ever been.
