The fires that loomed just south of her boarders were given mild attention at best. She had better things to do than care for the lives of those that didn’t reside in her home. There's an intricate inner working to a pack Sekhmet did not question nor did she overlook. The strangers senses were growing constant and while she praised her Set keeping track of who did and didn’t belong was growing tedious and who actually came to mingle with her pack members. She had watchful eyes, be it her own or those in the pack she trusted the most. It all came with time however everything seemed to be held together in some viable structure leaving her to grow and build rather than working about an interior struggle for dominance. She sought to sate and quench the dark hearts in her possession, she couldn’t would deal with the other packs as they came. Who was she to protect them from the gulping throats and ravenous maws that were her dark beasts?
This time when a call breaks the air it calls to someone other than herself. Someone she doesn’t know. Isn’t it fortunate it is a crisp fall breeze laps at their backs? The sun seeping into the deepest black of her pelt leaving her only closer to that state of agitation where she would most prefer to lounge in the shade. Still, it is soothed by the fact summer had come and gone so briskly. Yet, there is a darkness that stirs within her and causes the swiftness of actions. Blood-tipped paws led her muscular bodice across the plains, the fairly worn paths making it all the easier to navigate towards her borders. It is from their she would greet whoever decided to come calling. Some rational part of her thought process allowed her some comfort to the fact they didn’t seem interested in blatantly intruding. The idea of such act, she could be pleased with drawing a strangers blood if it came to it.
Opalescent gaze met the figure of the stranger, multi-hued and easily rivaling herself. Swiftly closing the distance she didn’t seek to hide her presence, not in her home. She need not be a hidden one. Positioning herself she was now a physical barrier, barring any further passage into Asteraia.
