[atrb=background,http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo18/GreenEyedMonster101/Anikira/Requests/KidMid.png?t=1344230995] Kiddo had just made the climb over the mountains. He hadn't been out of his precious Oriens in a long, long time. About a year. It had gotten to the point that he had forgotten what the rest of the island looked like. It was good to have some new sights and new smells. But this was not the time for sight seeing and exploring. This was the time for taking over and conquest. He wasn't entirely sure he had his pack's support on this decision that he had made because he hadn't shared this idea with any of them which may have not been the best idea but he didn't want to get them all excited and then not have the pack do it. Crossing the boarder from his lands into the lands recently claimed by a pack whose name he couldn't remember, felt exhilarating. He did remember that the leader was female. It seemed to be a reoccurring theme that packs led by females often failed, not that he was sexist or anything. It was just something that he had noticed over time. His paws felt right on this new lands. It was a similar feeling to the feeling that he had when he claimed the Oriens. He knew that he was making the right decision no matter the challenges it may bring. He knew that they were strong enough to take on whatever challenge came their way. The other wolves around needed to know that Amar was alive and thriving and that their leader wasn't afraid of bigger and better things. Kiddo felt amazing. His heart pounded in his chest so hard that he thought that it may fall out and that he would run over it in his sprint to find the perfect spot for a claiming howl. His eyes scanned and scanned until he found it. It was on a tall hill, similar to the Kinath only much shorter and easier to climb. Kiddo stood on top of the tall hill and took a short look around. The smells around were a mixture of different loners that would either have to vacate the area or join. Kiddo threw his head back and let out a strong, powerful, confident howl. It was the howl of an alpha. It said:These lands now belong to Amar and the wolves who belong to it. That was all that the howl needed to say. The call should have been enough to bring his members scrambling to get here and the loners scrambling to get out. He knew that Amar was on it's way to the hall of fame. ((OOC: this is after the hunt thread since it was taking forever. I was just gonna say that it faded to black and that the hunt went successfully and they all ate well. This is for all amar members even if you've just joined))

[atrb=background,http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t26/corpes3/nashiramid.png] The calling of her Alpha erected her audits and awakened her napping figurine. She had been training harder lately, even if it had been by herself. The thought of friendship had lessened within her mind, she could merely work her body more. Her muscles could always use more flexibility, more strength. It had occupied her time when the other pack members were busy and she merely could not make herself useful to them. Either that or they wanted nothing to do with her. 'Sounds like Kiddo is quite ambitious,' it excited Nashira. A part of the female was reminded of home, her original home. Back when Rhea was still alive and Hadrian was merely a distant idol. Even now the Mexican femme could find comfort in such thoughts. They had been surrounded by wars and death, but there was something about this chaos that eased her mind. Her paws readied themselves and she hoisted her weight upon them, satisfied by the rejuvenation they were experiencing. A little nap and some relaxation had satisfied her weary bones. She was ready once more. There was little to do now but run, father had been busy and Nashira was certain he would be found wherever Kiddo was. They certainly seemed to be rather close. 'At least father has others that are there for him,' but he always had. Amar must have held some sort of familiarity for the shaman. Just like in his old life, he was adored and important. Somehow she was always left within the shadows. Today that did not bother her so much, the older the subordinate became the more of a friend she became to herself. Paws caressed the ground repeatedly as she brought herself to a run, thankfully she had not been far from Kiddo's summoning call. Claiming new lands could prove to be dangerous, if he was alone (by some odd chance) she wanted to arrive quickly. Even if the Alpha did not know her well, she had given him her loyalty. He was one of the few that she would give her life for if it came to that. After all, the Alpha had trusted her father's words. Even if her part of the hunt went smoothly, Nashira had little reason to believe that this effected the Alpha at all. Her mind cleared itself, relishing in the few moments of silence it had. The icy wind brushed around her, making the female thankful for the rushing blood to keep her warm. Hues danced around her as the breeze whispered throughout her fur. For a moment these two lands felt secure and welcoming to her. She could almost have mistaken it for her birth place. Pace decreased as she watched the silhouette of the Alpha grow clearer within her vision. There were no others around him, instantly her guard shot higher. The amount of obstacles they could face was great, but Kiddo seemed to have little worry. Nashira did believe that he was disguising it as well as herself. After all, warriors could not express what was burdening their mind. It weakened them, left them vulnerable and naked to be attacked. Head lowered a bit as her paws stopped their approach. "Greetings Sir Kiddo," a slight flick of her tail was all she permitted to show her satisfaction at seeing the Alpha. "Congratulations on expanding Amar, I do believe it was a wise decision." muddy optics swam across the new terrain. She studied its beauty and pondered where she could potentially train herself next. She wondered if her words to Kiddo had been too much, the subordinate was still unfamiliar with direct dealing with an Alpha. She merely wished to express her encouragement and approval, not like one could have guessed that from her features. A bit of worry etched itself into her skull, not enough to where it would affect her physically. If anything the femme was happy to be the first to arrive, if Kiddo was displeased he could tell her in private.

[atrb=background,http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc166/Lordess_Lynzee_Beckett_x0/annabellebackground_zpse9a00465.png] Belle had just found the pack’s dens and was proceeding to enter them when the call of her Alpha had flowed into her ears. From what Kiddo was calling out, he was apparently claiming a new land. Belle had no idea of this plan, but then again she had just joined so it’d make sense that she didn’t know. She doubted that Kiddo would tell her such an important matter since she was new. She had never been in a situation like this so she wasn’t quite she about what she would do. His howl was relatively loud, loud enough that you could hear it from inside the den. Did that mean that he wanted all of the pack’s members to come? Was it just that loud so that everyone in the lands he was claiming could hear him? Or was it both? Belle took a moment to think about what she should do. It didn’t take her long to come up with the decision to go see what was going on. The worst that could happen was that she could get scorned for coming uninvited. Belle left the dens and headed to the path the lead down the eastern side of The Kinath. From what she got from Kiddo’s call was that he wasn’t too far away, but he was definitely outside of Amar’s territories. Like she did when she first traveled to The Kinath, she took a steady pace since the path was still slick. In all honesty she couldn’t wait for the temperatures to warm up. Even though she was built for the cold, she hated it with a passion. She was still unfamiliar with the lands of Anikira so when she reached the bottom of the path, she used her nose to direct her to where her alpha was. As she continued to follow Kiddo’s scent, she noticed that the temperature was decreasing. It was snowing relatively heavy, so she had to stop every now and then to shake the snow off her white coat. She also noticed that the terrain was changing into what appeared to be rolling hills covered with vibrant green grass. She thought the area was relatively pretty because of its lively vibrancy. She wanted to stop and explore, but she reminded herself that she had more important matters to attend to. She quickened her pace until Kiddo’s frame came to view. As she got closer, she slowed her pace and realized that there was another wolf standing not too far away from Kiddo. She hadn’t got the chance to really meet any of the other pack members, so maybe she could use this opportunity to meet a fellow pack member. As she climbed the decently sized hill that Kiddo was at the top of, she realized that the other wolf was another femme. She wondered if this was one that she could befriend. She currently didn’t have any friends since she was new to these lands and she was ready to make friends. She didn’t know if this would be the right time to strike up a conversation, but she would at least introduce herself since that would be the polite thing to do. When she was beside Kiddo and the femme, she first turned her attention to Kiddo. He really had the alpha persona going on and Belle realized that he was very proud and positive with the decision he made.“I’m sure that this will be a great opportunity for the pack, Kiddo,” she said with a kind smile to the alpha.

[/color]Belle then turned to face the femme and introduced herself. “My name is Annabelle, but you can call me Belle,” she said with a friendly tone.

There were others here. And by god, they wanted her home.

I hope they understand that I'm part of the package, she thought snidely, her paws carrying her swiftly toward the cry that alerted her to the intruding alpha. Yes, she considered the alpha male to be the intruder here. While she did not have a formal pack amongst the hills, she certainly had more of a claim over him than he could ever hope to. She was the princess of these lands, and he would not take them from her without a fight. "No good bloody pack wolves thinking they can march in and take everything," she grumbled to herself, slowing her pace as she realized that the alpha male was not here on his own.

Surely she had not thought that it was a bright idea to take the alpha out, but Edrianna had fully intended to give him a piece of her mind. It was foolish to assume that there were not loners that lived here, and by driving them out, he was going to take away from his own pack in the long run. Regardless of his decision in regards to her specific case, she was not going to leave Tiayr. This was her home, and she would be pried away from it in death and not a second sooner. What she found was the wolf whose call resonated throughout her home standing with two females flanking him. While the alpha himself was only slightly larger than her, there would be little that she could do to stop him and his claim with other wolves in his pack nearby.

"I'm sorry, but I think you're mistaken," she bit out as respectfully as she could manage. Edria knew better than to snap out angrily at the wolf, but it could not stop the wounds to her pride that this wolf felt it necessary to tread on her turf. She was the princess of this place, and they were the intruders, not her. She had lived almost four years here, and she would be damned if they tried to tear her away. "This is my home. Your pack can't be here," she tried to explain to the alpha male. She did not back away from him in extreme submissiveness, but she also did not stand fully erect as she would have when confronting another loner. This wolf had support behind him, and as much as Edrianna did not want to accept it, this male had more power over this land in fifteen minutes than she had held in the past three years.

It was shameful that she could not do much to drive them out. Her mild pacifism alone was the only think stopping her from lashing out against them. They were going to make her life more difficult if she had to leave here; could they not see that? Edrianna's home was here, and by golly, that was where she intended to stay. "I know there are some nice lands south of here that don't have packs in them," she tried to bargain with the wolf, though she was not sure what sort of reaction this would elicit from him. "I cannot leave Tiayr. It won't happen." The words were not meant as a challenge to Amar, but they certainly weren't appeasing the pack's advances either. She was Edrianna, and they were in her home, not the other way around. How would they like it if she marched into the heart of their pack lands and announced that they no longer had any right to be there? The thought was ludicrous, and surely any logical wolf would understand. But she did not know whether these wolves would be logical at all. That still remained to be seen.

Chaika had barely had the chance to explore the dens when he detected his Alpha's call erupt through the rocky environment. The howl was certainly loud enough to be heard, it nearly scared him to death as the sound echoed through the den he was currently snooping around in. He did not have any work to be done yet, seeing he had literally just been accepted into the pack, and he was only a subordinate. Of course, he planned on helping out as much as he could even as a subordinate, but not this early. He wasn't sure how Kiddo prefered things to be done around here, and he certainly did not enjoy the thought of doing anything incorrectly within his first week of being a member of Amar. He learned from Kiddo's call that the Alpha had claimed a new territory for the pack. Chaika walked outside of the den, and lifted his large head to sniff the chilly air.

After determining which direction the call had originated from, West, he headed out in that direction at an average pace. He was not sure if he was supposed to come to Kiddo, but he thought it was a smart idea to make his way to the brute anyway. The worst case scenario was that Kiddo may decide to punish Chaika, which of course was not on Chaika's list of things to accomplish, but he could not imagine the consequences if he was the only member of Amar not to show up. Additionally, he assumed that other wolves had already been occupying the land the Alpha had claimed, and could pose a potential threat to him. Any assistance in event or danger was helpful, in Chaika's mind and he did not want to feel guilt if the Alpha did not return from his conquest in one piece. Not that it would be his fault, but he still would feel horrible. It was simply the kind of wolf he was.

He caught sight of Kiddo's figure in the near distance atop of a hill. He was accompanied by three femmes, and he couldn't help but let out a chuckle. 'Quite the ladies-man, I see.' He was out of earshot, so none of the wolves could hear his slight laugh. He approached the wolves, examining each one quickly. First he greeted Kiddo, the only wolf he recognized out of the four. Before speaking, he dipped his head out of pure respect and then begun his greeting. "Hello, Kiddo. I must say that I think you have chosen your new territory well. His eyes grazed the land around him, spotting the many hills he had traveled through to reach The Oriens. "This land is certainly beautiful, and it provides plenty of prey for a growing pack." He nodded, noticing the brute's sheer confidence that shone through his powerful stance.

He then turned to face the two wolves at the Alpha's flanks. "Greetings, my name is Chaika." His tone was warm and friendly, his tail giving a slight wag, his head bowed for a moment both in respect and in greeting. As he faced the third femme, he felt the tension that seemed to be between her and the other three, especially Kiddo. Chaika decided not to speak to this Mackenzie wolf, not out of disrespect, but instead because he did not want to stick his nose in places he did not belong. Instead, he smiled a somewhat friendly smile mixed with a bit of confusion. He must've missed something on his way over between this femme and the brute, so he did not want to get into the middle of it.

[Lynker]

Lynker prowled the borders like a mother bear, hazel eyes scouring the terrain for a sign of anything that was out of place. The Oriens was his home, and the same attention he used to give to the borders of his area around Nyspoli’s Pool was now given to the entire territory. He was fiercely protective of this place and would guard it with his life.

He was making his way along the ridgeline when suddenly the alpha’s scent caught his nose. Thinking at first that it was simply a scent marker in a different place than usual he continued on, but then he realised that it was not. Puzzled, he backtracked, curious as to what the alpha was doing if he wasn’t on border patrol. After following the trail a short way, he found to his surprise that it lead out into the loner lands. Why on earth would the alpha go there?

“Astra?” Lynker called up to the gyrfalcon circling low overhead. “Can you see any sign of Kiddo from up there?” The white bird turned her head both ways then called back to him, “Nope. Is he missing? Do you want me to help you find him?”
“Yeah, I think he’s gone out of the territory.” The warrior looked doubtfully down the mountain. He didn’t particularly feel like an expedition today, but the alpha seemed to have gone alone (or at least he thought so – he still wasn’t brilliant at telling wolf scents apart) and even though Lynker didn’t doubt Kiddo’s ability to defend himself, he knew that loner lands could be a dangerous place.

So, paws answering reluctantly to the call of duty, he made his way down the Kinath and into the lands beyond. As he reached the base, he realised that he’d lived in the Oriens for two years, and in all that time he hadn’t once set paw out of the territory. That suited Lynker just fine; he was perfectly content living in the secluded forest, and he quite frankly didn’t want to meet new wolves. Why had he even got caught up in pack politics in the first place? He should have taken more of a stand to protect his peace and quiet, but with the number of new members Amar was getting it was now too late.

Suddenly a howl rang out in the air, unmistakably that of the wolf he was searching for. It sounded quite far away, deep within the territory called Tiayr, a long way to go before he reached his alpha. The black wolf growled irritably at being dragged out into the middle of nowhere, but it would be a waste to turn back now. There was also something else that caught his attention about the howl: although he couldn’t make out exactly what it was saying, it sounded powerful and dominant, and Lynker had heard this kind of howl before. It was a claiming howl.

Lynker picked up speed until he was moving at a light trot; surely the alpha couldn’t be alone if that was really what he was doing, but the warrior couldn’t take the risk that he might be. If his experience was anything to go by, a claiming howl would cause trouble for loners in the area, and he doubted that they’d move out straight away in order to make room for the pack.

Sure enough, when he came withing listening distance he could hear a she wolf arguing about how Tiayr was her home and she wasn’t going to leave it. Lynker averted his eyes from the gathering of wolves, remaining silent as he climbed the hill and took a seat a fair distance away from his alpha, not wanting to crowd either him or the loner. Neither did he much want a part in this discussion – he didn’t want to be disloyal but he wasn’t sure whether he could fully support the alpha in this. He understood where the she wolf was coming from more than most; when Amar had claimed the Oriens he had done the exact same thing. Back then he and the alpha had come to blows over territory rights, but he hoped that that wouldn’t happen this time.

Long sharp claws worked their way into the soft grassy ground as the black arctic waited in nervous anticipation. He felt a little on edge being the only warrior present if things went wrong, and although he vaguely remembered Nashira mentioning something about fighting, he’d only seen her once or twice in passing and didn’t know her well enough to place his trust in her. Looking around, Lynker realised that most of the wolves here were strangers to him – Kiddo was the only one he really knew. He hadn’t see the three others at all before, and although one was definitely a loner the other two didn’t appear to be. New members, most likely – he’d noticed quite a few strange scents lingering in the Oriens recently.

Finally realising that her friend had stopped and finding no other perch to settle on in the vast open landscape, Astra landed upon Lynker’s back. “Hey!” he hissed quietly in protest, but made no move to throw her off. Luckily for him, his thick arctic fur protected him from the worst of her claws, but that still didn’t prevent it from being rather uncomfortable for the small wolf. Neither was he able to sit down without dislodging the bird from his back, but oh well, he supposed he could put up with it. They wouldn’t be here for too long anyway, would they? Lynker already felt his paws itching to be back on familiar terrain, preferably in his nice cosy den curled up with his big brown bear friend.

Tiayr was far from that dream though, he noted as he critically scanned the land around them. He didn’t like this place; no, not at all. The warmer temperature felt strange with his thick winter coat and it was much too open and exposed. Maybe he'd appreciate it once he'd explored it a bit more, but at the moment a land of rolling green hills was foreign to him, and he didn’t know whether he would ever be able to truly call it home. Nyspoli’s Pool forever held that title in his heart, and Lynker’s mind once again drifted back to the good old days when it had just been him and Curse fishing for a living.

Busy, old, and cold, three things Hadrian was feeling far too much of lately. Winter was far from his favorite season, his species better suited to warmer temperatures. Sure his coat had grown in nice and thick, doing a fine job of keeping him warmer than most. The winter air was chilling though, seeping into his bones. Beyond that he was constantly on the go. There were herbs to gather and loners to attend to and, while it was not his job, Hadrian had been running into a fair share of strangers while gathering whatever herbs he could find that dared to keep living through the snow.

The mexican brute also had his daughter to think about. He had not had much time with Nashira after the hunt. In fact, beyond stumbling across her scent here and there he hadn't really spoken to her at all. He felt guilty for once again neglecting her. Already he'd missed out on three years of her life; missing any more weeks was starting to feel like eternity. Which is why he'd decided to use his rare break to seek out his daughter. Perhaps they could talk and get to know one another better. He'd just picked up on her scent trail when a howl from Kiddo rang out.

"It never fails." His words were accompanied with a heavy sigh as he took note of his surroundings. Even with his poor hearing it was not hard to tell that Kiddo's call had come from out of the territory. Surprisingly, it seemed Nashira's scent was gravitating in that direction as well. Perhaps she was only just ahead of him in answering the call? It was a safe assumption to make now that she'd been accepted into the pack as well. Thus, briskly as he could Hadrian began the trek through the mountain.

The path was not as easy as he'd have liked and once or twice he slipped on ice, making travel slow. Once he was actually within the border of Tiayr things got a little easier. The weather was still cold but the rolling hills were less likely to attract the ice that coated the mountain rocks. His pace increased to a steady lope. Of course, by the time he made it to where the others were gathering, Hadrian was out of breath. It had been worth it though, and he dipped his head respectfully (and gave Nashira a small, apologetic nuzzle for his absence) before settling down to rest. Many of the wolves before him were strangers but no words passed through his lips. Introductions would come with time. Right now he was content to listen.

ooc: Okay, Hadrian is here. This is the only post I'm going to make with him in this thread. Please skip his turn next time it comes around.

[atrb=background,http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo18/GreenEyedMonster101/Anikira/Requests/KidMid.png?t=1344230995] Not long after he had made his claiming howl, a member of his pack showed up. It was Nashira. She hadn't been a member for too long but it was a good sign that she had gotten here quickly after he had made the call. It showed dedication and a willingness to drop whatever she was doing and come to him when he called her. He believed that he knew her well enough now that she could be moved from a subordinate position. He hadn't spoken to her often actually, he hadn't spoken to her much at all after the hunt thread so long ago but he had smelled her here and there and she was old enough to pull her own weight. What was it that she said she was interested in? Fighting? That was probably it. Even if it wasn't, they needed a few more ranked warriors with this new land. This would be a whole new set of battles for the pack. They would need to enforce the new boarder to loners mainly and that was for the warriors to do. Kiddo had come to the conclusion that he couldn't do everything by himself anymore. He would need to trust some more members and give them something to do especially because he had to feed them all. Hello, Nashira. Thank-you. It shall provide for our pack well. Kiddo said in response to Nashira's greeting. That was the whole reason why he wanted these lands. They were close and they had food during the winter. Kiddo wasn't displeased with the subordinate. She hadn't done anything disrespectful in Kiddo's mind. He didn't mind that his members spoke to him in a semi-casual manner because he considered them family as well as his pack. Annabelle then came next. She was one of Amar's newest members. The timing of this expansion was good in Kiddo's mind. As the pack's numbers grew, they needed more space. The Oriens wasn't an incredibly large area and most of it was covered with forest and therefore didn't have much food for all them. When they were smaller, it worked perfectly but now they needed more space and more food. Kiddo nodded in a friendly manner to Annabelle's comment about this land being a good decision as this was a celebration. But every celebration had a catch and this celebration came with loners already living here. One of them decided that it was a good idea to waltz up to him and tell him how it was. She was obviously not educated in the way of packs. Packs always had rights over loners, always. When a pack moved in, loners either joined or they moved out. This was because packs were always stronger than the loners. Loners were loners because they were on their own and they couldn't fight off a whole pack. This would be fun. I believe it is you who is mistaken, Loner. Because I am sure that you are unaware of how this works I will explain it to you. When packs move in, loners either join or move out and because you seem quite against packs, I suggest that you do leave on your own free will before I have to remove you by force. Kiddo told her in response to her stating that these were her home lands and that she wasn't going to leave. They would see how well that worked for her. If she wanted to join, he would give her a chance because they had just marched into the lands and claimed them. Kiddo's voice was very calm and informative with a twinge of irritation but nothing overbearing. He had been dealing with many loners over the last few weeks and this was not something to lose his head over. He had a pack behind him and she had nothing. He would win this. Shortly after the feisty female showed up, Chaika showed up and remained mostly quite besides a short greeting and showing his verbal support for the new lands added to the old ones. Lynker and Hadrian then showed up shortly after that, one right after the other and didn't say much. Lynker chose to stay away from the pack but not so far that he wasn't able to provide support though. Lynker was the only ranked warrior here and that probably made him nervous with all of these wolves around, many of whom he may not know. But hopefully this strange loner would just leave and they could get on with their celebration.

[atrb=background,http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t26/corpes3/nashiramid.png] Nashira was not certain what to expect from Kiddo or this entire meeting at all. Something about pack gatherings were a bit strange to her. Most likely due to her silent guard tendencies that separated her from the others. She spent life as a warrior, even when alone, it was impossible for her to stop a constant patrol of some sort. Her body simply did not know how to do it. Always would she be ready to rip another's face off, if it was necessary. Muddy orbs passed onto the second female to arrive, Annabelle. The Mexican merely quivered her audits and solemnly gave the light hued female a nod. Introductions were trivial, and by now it most likely had gotten around that Nashira rarely gave her name. More often than not, others found out her name from word of mouth - that maw not being her own. It was one slice of a true being that she had left to hold dear to her heart, a piece of her childhood. Sometimes the other canines took it personally, 'they never should.' The scent of another canine nipped at her muzzle, signifying how dangerously close it was. If Nashira could smell something, then it was far too near for safety purposes. Her crania spun around to see this obvious trespasser that was running her mouth about Tiayr being her home. 'Then why doesn't she have a pack here?' the thought almost made the subordinate laugh within Edrianna's face. Somehow, she withheld such a response. Kiddo took over quite smoothly, but she could catch the twinge of irritation growing beneath his skin. She could only imagine the extreme displeasure that this was causing him. Hackles lifted ever so slightly and her optics grew dark, any potential life drifting away from them. A certain darkness enjoyed placing itself upon her features before battle, it avoided any actual connection. In a fight, there was no sympathy for the other. Merely death and survival, Nashira knew what side she was on. Three brutes soon distracted a bit of her attention from the invasive female. This was merely because one of them was her father. One of the other brute's she could identify as being from the Hunt; although, his name was slipping her mind at the moment. The last - well he was a complete mystery. Nashira didn't even recall catching his scent prior to now, but the others seemed okay with his arrival. Even Kiddo did not move or go to question it. 'He must be a new member,' at least she was no longer the newest addition. By now it had been a month, maybe more that she had been here? The days were blending together and the Mexican femme was surprised that she wasn't even certain the length of time. It was a trifling matter, it mattered little in the long run. A slight nod was cast in the other two brutes' direction, it was noticed that Lynker often hung back away from the others. Nashira had always been curious about this, but far too shy to actually speak to him. Social interactions with the pack mates tended to work out much better when they stumbled across her. Lightly her father nuzzled her, an action eagerly returned by the younger canine. Nashira could not resist breaking her rigid stance for a mere second to give her father some attention. 'It is okay Daddy, you have always been in charge of caring for others,' a slight fondness crossed her brown orbs for merely a moment before it vanished into thin air. Attention directed itself back towards the foreigner, she was causing quite a ruckus here. Nashira was not a fan of it. Count | Six hundred and thirty-one Muse | Low Tags | Amar Notes | Ehhhhh

[atrb=background,http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc166/Lordess_Lynzee_Beckett_x0/annabellebackground_zpse9a00465.png] Kiddo acknowledged the Arctic femme’s greeting with a friendly nod, reassuring Belle that she was welcomed here. The Mexican femme also nodded to her, but hers wasn’t as noticeable. Belle waited for Nashira to introduce herself but it never came. This slightly bothered Belle because she had never encountered a wolf that wouldn’t return an introduction. She felt slightly bothered that the Mexican femme didn’t introduce herself in return, but Belle couldn’t expect everyone to be just as friendly as her. Plus Nashira didn’t seem like the type of wolf that would intentionally be unkind. Belle then came to the conclusion that Nashira was just shy. It made the most sense since she did manage to nod as a reply. Belle hoped that she would eventually warm up to her. A wolf’s scent entered Belle’s nostrils as she took it in. The wolf was close, but was coming from the opposite direction; within the lands that Kiddo had just claimed. Because of the where the wolf was coming from, she doubted that the wolf was of the Amar pack. Her theory was proven true when a Mackenzie Valley femme approached at a rather quick pace. This wolf slowed her pace when she saw that Kiddo was not alone which was probably a smart decision. She looked to be around three and was slightly smaller than Kiddo. Her mouth opened as soon as she closed the distance. She went on about how these were her lands and how Kiddo could not claim them. Belle noticed that Nashira’s shackles slighty rose so she did the same. Belle knew that Kiddo could easily take on this female by himself, but it wouldn’t look good on her part to just remain standing there in a submissive stance. Belle was very impressed with how calm his reply was, keeping his composure as he told Edrianna how it was going to be. Belle thought Kiddo’s response was fair, giving the loner the option to leave by choice or to leave by force. It would be much easier on everyone gathered here for her to leave by choice. If Kiddo had to force her, Belle didn’t see that going over well. She didn’t think that Edrianna would be stupid enough to try and take them all on, but Belle wasn’t sure. Belle decided to remain in the stance she was in with her shackles raised until otherwise needed. As the scene continued to unfold, more wolves showed up. A scrawny Eastern Timber brute named Chaika was the next pack member to show up. He introduced himself to both Nashira and Belle after giving his praise to Kiddo for his decision. “Nice to meet you Chaika, I’m Annabelle,” she replied in her typical friendly tone. After Chaika, a black Arctic brute appeared that stood and watched from a small distance. Green optics noticed a bird perch itself on the brutes back. She found it odd that the wolf allowed the bird to rest there, but decided that she would found out more about this brute later. The last wolf to show up was a Mexican brute that joined them on the hill, giving Nashira a nudge before settling Belle sniffed the air to see if any others wolves were approaching, but nothing turned up so she turned her full attention back to what was going on.

Edrianna watched in amusement as the two females that flanked the alpha male raised their hackles defensively in response to their alpha's reaction. The slight twinkle in her eyes deflated ever so slightly though, as more wolves appeared and the alpha addressed her in, quite frankly, the rudest manner the female thought possible. "That isn't exactly the best way to convince loners to join you, you know. Insulting my intelligence will do little here. And I have a name. It's Edrianna, and I'd love to make your acquaintance, good sir," she quipped back, not even missing a beat from the alpha's bitter words. She was feeling rather keen on rolling with the punches, and, for once, the male's words did not stab her deep through her heart. This was her home, and she was not going to be leaving. "I do know how this works, Alpha. You see, you aren't the first pack to come in here," she explained, the twinkle returning to her eyes. "But Gaziche and Isata were a tad bit more understanding. Of course, they accommodated me based on the fact that I've lived here since birth. I don't mind packs at all; as a matter of fact, if Isata had not died away so quickly, I likely would have joined them," her tinkling laughter not meant to irritate the male, but she also would not be surprised if it angered him. He seemed to have a stick so far up his ass that it's unlike he could sit for long without prodding his stomach. That imagery brought a smile to the female's face.

"But if my options are either join your pack or leave, I guess I'll go with the former. Tiayr has been my home since I was born, and I don't plan on heading too far from here for the rest of my life," she retorted to the alpha male who clearly thought she was as dumb as a sack of rocks. She was no fool, and she was not going to do something to get herself killed. However, she bristled at his comment that she obviously didn't like packs. "I am just fine with packs, actually. Though it sure is nice to be pegged so quickly. I never said that I disliked packs. I just don't really like the idea of being driven out," she retorted, her eyes dangerously close to revealing her true emotions. She would not let him see the fire that was brewing just below the surface; that would likely get her killed. If he would let her stay and mind her own business so long as she assisted the pack in one way or another, she would be okay with that. But she would not tolerate being talked down to like she was worth nothing just because she had not left Tiayr. She was damn capable, probably more so than the rest of the stupid alpha's pack based solely on the fact that she could survive of her own devises.

"So, what's the name of this pack? You're obviously doing well for yourselves," she remarked, scanning the wolves that were gathered in her home. It did not matter if this alpha laid his "claim" to her home. She would protect it with her life if need be. Should he opt not to let her and her sassy temper join his pack, she would flee temporarily, but Edrianna would do everything in her power to cause this pack hell until the day they regretted ever setting foot onto Tiayr. She was not one to give up on her endeavors; of course, should they opt to allow her into the pack, she was not going to be the most pleasant wolf. Being forced from her home was an outrage, and Edrianna would rage until she was given a reason not to. However, this pack did not need to know that. On the outside, she was fully composed, giving them no indication of the inner turmoil causing her to silently hate every last one of them more than life itself.

Chaika finally felt as if he was a true member of the great Amar. He gave his tail a small wag and dipped his head in greeting to the arctic femme who had introduced herself as Annabelle. The other female, who he believed was a Mexican Wolf, did not acknowledge his friendly greeting with any more than a nod, but he took no offense. Something important was unfolding between Kiddo and the third femme who did not seem to be a wolf of Amar, and if she was the brute could not believe how disrespectful she was acting towards the Alpha. He remained quiet as not to disturb the interactions between the two that were going on.

His nostrils absorbed the scent of two more brutes, and he glanced behind him to see the first. He was a black canine who hung back instead of approaching the small gathering that seemed to be occurring. 'He probably doesn't want to intrude.' The idea popped into Chaika's brain and he assumed that was it. The others did not mind his presence, so he was sure he must be a part of Amar as well. He smiled a friendly little smile at the wolf and noticed the second brute approach. He, too, did not speak a word, only nuzzled the Mexican femme who returned the kind gesture. Chaika assumed that they must've been related, probably father and daughter. 'Of course, they could be mates, but the age difference makes things a bit iffy,' he thought, though he quickly dropped it and decided it was not any of his business.

Chaika then took a double-take at the first brute who had appeared. Was that a bird perched on his back? Yes, the Timber brute was certain of it. He did not stare at the pair, merely took a quick glance, but he immediately felt as if he had been rude for doing so. 'I bet they are great friends.' He did not understand being acquaintances with a feathered thing such as that, but he himself did not have a friend at all yet. Sure, Kiddo had been kind, and Chaika was fond of him for his power as Alpha, but he did not believe they were friends just yet. They had only met, meaning Chaika was friendless. Not one wolf had he even spoken to since joining Amar.

Now that he had considered it, the brute felt sort of strange. He was an extraordinarily friendly wolf and had never been without a friend. Life as a loner did not count, he did not think of that time as part of his actual life. It was too short and unimportant to him to mean anything. He then made a promise to himself that he would seek out some sort of friendship within the pack very soon. He could not imagine being so solitary for much longer, it just did not fit in with his unique personality.

[Lynker]

Hadrian arrived shortly after he did, going straight to his daughter and gently nuzzling her. Lynker didn’t think he would ever have children, or even be close to another wolf – the company he kept rendered him an outcast among his kin. Feeling a small pang of jealousy within his chest, he turned away and took the opportunity to scan the hills around them.

It was surprisingly easy to see long distances here, and he could confirm that there were no more wolf shapes on the horizon. Everyone seemed to be here apart from Evuwisp and Artemis, who were both hunters. Briefly he wondered whether it was wise to leave the base territory so unguarded while they were all out conquesting, but then he remembered that Curse and Ria were still there as well and that they would fiercely protect their home. Well… he wasn’t completely sure about the leopard’s loyalty, but her attitude towards him had definitely improved, even if she was still rather distant and haughty. And he knew he could trust Curse to protect their territory from intruders.

The black arctic’s gaze shifted back towards the lone femme as she retorted to the alpha’s words. Well, she was talkative, wasn’t she? He didn’t blame her really, and was thankful that it hadn’t come to a fight. Of course she was outnumbered six to one, but if Lynker had been in her position it was likely he would have tried anyway. A foolish suicide attempt, he knew, but that was the truth, and at that point in time he would have preferred to die than to just allow a pack to overrun his territory.

It was always very disconcerting to the once-loner to have so many strange wolves around him, and he knew the feeling would be even worse had this meeting taken place back in the Oriens, or, god forbid, Nyspoli’s Pool. Just the thought of that made him feel disgusted. But he knew he was in the pack now, so he better make the attempt to squash down any annoyance at the circumstances and at least make himself seem friendly. He had always been curious about wolves, after all, and Amar was his chance to actually get to know some of his own species.

Not all wolves were bad, as he was beginning to find out. Although he wouldn’t say they were friends, he felt that Hadrian seemed to understand him at least a little – perhaps because the mexican brute had recently acquired a companion himself – and from what he’d seen of the shaman so far he seemed like a nice enough guy. At least they knew each others names, which was more than he could say for half the wolves here. He’d been too late to hear the introductions, and he hadn’t offered any when he’d arrived, so he guessed he’d just have to wait until the alpha addressed them or something.

[atrb=background,http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo18/GreenEyedMonster101/Anikira/Requests/KidMid.png?t=1344230995] His pack was being very quite while he and the loner female talked. Kiddo's patience was starting to run a bit low. He wasn't to the point of being unreasonable..yet. But he was getting close. Why wouldn't she just leave? Doesn't she understand that he had taken these lands so ten wolves wouldn't starve to death? It wasn't his main objective to run loner wolves out of their homelands but if it meant keeping his pack members alive, he would do it. Kiddo wasn't a horrible guy. He was reasonable for the most part unless the wold had done him a major disrespect. This wolf was being disrespectful which made Kiddo not so nice but these were her homes he guessed. It wasn't my intent to gain more members in taking these lands. He said back to her calmly. He would beat her with kindness. It was a tactic that he didn't play most of the time but with his months of experience being an alpha, he needed to shake things up a bit. Normally he would have just chased her off without a second thought. No one would disrespect him and his pack and get away with no punishment. Besides, it would keep his members on their toes. It wouldn't be good if they knew what he was going to do in every situation. That would be no fun. Edrianna started naming off packs that had been more accommodating to her after she had told him that she would be joining his pack. Ha. She obviously didn't know much about his pack at all. Some packs may have just accepted wolves without knowing hardly anything about them but not Amar. Really? And where are these packs now? Disbanded? Kiddo said in response. His voice had a twinkle of sarcasm. Like he would imitate packs that hadn't even survived. That would be foolish of him and Kiddo was no fool. However he had his suspicions of this Edrianna wolf. Either way, Since my pack has just claimed your home I guess it would only be fair to give you a chance to join and being the Alpha I am, I will give you that chance. So, what can you offer me Edrianna? He wanted to irritate her. He wanted to make her angry..so angry that she would do something stupid. Normally, he wasn't so pious but he thought that it would get under this female's skin just as she was getting under his own. Or perhaps she would turn around and leave the area like he wanted her to so he wouldn't need to deal with her anymore. Something tells him though that she may not be as willing to compromise as Lynker had been. Lynker had been more angry and only concerned with one part of the Oriens. This crazy bitch wanted all of Tiyar to herself and she didn't sound angry in Kiddo's opinion. She sounded..entitled. Bad things happened to wolves when they had a false sense of entitlement. One thing that Kiddo had learned was that the world doesn't owe anyone anything. Did the world ow him Tiyar? No. But he needed it to keep himself and his pack alive. Some of whom weren't even here. It was probably good that they weren't. Someone needed to stay behind and protect the original home lands. Amar. Kiddo told Edrianna after she had asked what his pack's name was. Amar meant home. Amar was his home. The members of Amar were his family. He had nothing else (not that he would ever admit that to anyone). He had no children to take over for him when he grew old or to carry on his legacy. He had this pack and that was it and he would make his pack so famous that generations would be talking about it for years.

[atrb=background,http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t26/corpes3/nashiramid.png] Although Nashira longed to observe her father and the other canines of Amar, it was proving to be quite the struggle to tear her gaze from the loner. Her defiance was unsettling to the Mexican femme and rather unappreciated. This was supposed to be a moment of happiness for the pack, after all they were large enough to expand into two territories now. Instead it was being tainted by some bitch who deemed these lands to be hers. 'I don't see your pack here,' thankfully, Nashira had learned to keep her snide comments to herself. Opening her mouth in a situation like this would do nothing but cause issues and make her appear foolish before the eyes of her father. Most likely the other pack members would judge her on such remarks as well, it was best to silently observe. Even so, the subordinate found herself sitting on guard, holding a steadfast glare at Edrianna. Nashira believed that this newcomer should consider herself lucky that Kiddo held such patience. She certainly did not. Had this been her conquest, Edrianna would have been sliced to bits by now. Then again, a protective instinct had recently grown inside of her heart. Upon locating Hadrian, Nashira had sworn to herself that she would never let anything harm him nor would something separate them. He was her link to an actual life that she had never possessed, the one creature that she had welcomed into her heart. The mere thought of her father disappearing made the female ill. She had nearly died while searching for the War God of her youth, he was all hers. Despite her mind telling her not to glance away from Edrianna, Nashira could not refrain from casting a sideways look towards the shaman. From there each wolf received a quick look over before the silent canine settled her eyes back where they belonged, upon the stranger. Even if she joined Amar, the subordinate knew it would be a struggle to trust this canine. Being so forward within the spotlight was beginning to irk her, for a second she longed to be among the shadows where Lynker was. A hint of rage was inching its way into her muscular body; the worst part was the way it was mixing with her adrenaline. Kiddo had accepted her into his pack; therefore, she held a certain respect for him - and this loner was being quite inconsiderate with her words. Auds flicked back with annoyance as Edrianna finished speaking, it seemed to be the only reaction the Mexican had performed since the momentary hackle raise. Otherwise her figure sat stiff and silent. Nashira was not going to miss a single thing. Count | Four hundred and fifty-one Muse | Terrible Tags | Amar Notes | Sorry for the delay, I know this is not very good but I rushed to get something up quickly.
