The forest stands tall and lush here; ancient trees reach weather-twisted arms to the sky, fighting monster-like storm clouds back with their interlacing fingers. Shadow seems to lurk everywhere you look, but it spills calmly, coolly, inspiring a sense of stealthy calm or protection rather than unease. That is, if you've forgotten what kind of creature might be stalking just out of sight...Abendrot is a land cradled by the dark woods on all sides; in the center, some of the larger trees stay behind to reveal a small plateau - a citadel where this pack can gather and defend itself from invaders. There are, of course, softer sides to the land. Clearings here and there allow the sun to throw down its rays in incongruously resplendent gold showers. Ignore the lingering scents of blood spattered here and there along the borders: those do not concern you. The river on one edge of the territory is playful enough when it hasn't been gorged by violent rain. You can choose to note the ragged claw marks raked down tree trunks and the forest floor as friendly "Home Sweet Home" signs, if you wish.
All who treasure loyalty, order, victory, and the occasional indulgence of raw visceral pleasure are welcome, once they've been approved by the ever-watchful eyes of Abendrot's Alpha. But keep one thing in mind: no matter what your motive, this is not a fool's Paradise. This is the land of soldiers, assassins, and spies. This is ABENDROT.
Make up your mind quickly and prepare to prove your worth. You wouldn't want to add to those blood spatters, would you...?

“Clearly you do not know that I am the King here.” Lilith began to feel blood boil in her body again as he began to speak towards her, her black orbs rolled in her head though because of how they were it was hard to tell. It's hard to put a leash on a dog after you put a crown on it. She thought to herself. “Your title means nothing if you do not have the respect, dignity, OR honor that comes with it little princess.” She gave a sarcastic laugh in his face. "Then I dare not call you my King. For I have not any respect for you for how you displayed yourself. I have not seen dignity in you in this first meeting, and I have not seen honor, as you are being rather inappropriate to royal kalak members." “Here in my territory, titles are not just given out to whomever asks for them, they are earned through trust and respect, these titles can also be taken away, your so called title or royalty means nothing in these lands. You want respect? Where was her respect when she was clearly being tormented, she-wolf? This so called respected friend has a tortured soul, anyone can see that. I would never hold you in the same respect I have for her, and if I ever find out what causes her to tremble and quake with fear, may my gods of old have mercy on whomever allowed her to be harmed and to whomever harmed her.” She laughed again at the damned fool. "And how exactly did you become a "King", pretty boy? I don't see scars on you. You didn't fight for the throne, so you must have either been handed it or just waltzed in proclaiming yourself King." She stepped in front of Olya once more, keeping a space between the two as she lowered her head. She knew she couldn't fight. But she also knew if something were to happen to her or Olya that Kronos would surely kill this imbecile. What was Kira thinking, bringing them to a man with such ignorance? She took a deep breath, trying to calm her senses before he began to speak again. ”Now if you want to know why I used such a harsh tone was because this fae, decided to run off after, as she said, I cleaned her wounds. So naturally, I was worried she’d been hurt or worse off than what I had expected. So much to the point the only reason I am greeting you here is because I was about to leave to go find the beautiful fae. Now you want to know what I can do for you? It would be more like what you can do for me, since you have come to my lands seeking refuge. Why would I have to do anything for you? Since you have now angered me, I’d like to know Princess, why I should allow you the safety of y lands? Clearly you would have not picked such a small pack if you were not trying to hide. Most would not come looking for one like yourself in a place like this because they would think we were not strong enough to protect you.” His words turned to Kira, and then to Lilith once more. ”You shouldn’t be bias on who can speak to your so called most trusted friend in snarky tones.” He then pushed passed her to Olya and the white kalak princess snapped, flinging his head to the side with a push of her head. "You must be blind or stupid. We're kalaks. Sacred and pure! We do not have time to dwindle in romance with some ignorant, hypocritical, jack off, mutt." She took a deep breath. Her fur then settled and she calmed herself a bit more now that there was silence in the air for a few minutes. "Now, with harshness aside. We are only waiting out for a day or two for out guard, Kronos to come find us and then we will be out of you hair for good. You don't have to speak to us, you don't have to see us, we'll avoid you. We're not here to be permanent or to strip you of anything." She let her head rise, not to be assertive this time but to come off as a calmer, lighter, tone. "Now, with all set aside, I'm willing to put your negative and hacious acts and comments, as I hope you can with my angry reactions. Like I said, we will not be staying. We have business to attend to elsewhere, a line to keep pure, a life to start over, and of course it will all begin when Kronos finds us." She spoke, her voice still high but calmer . . .
