Slowly, large black pads pressed lightly against the slightly damp ground. Each time they touched the forest floor, they sunk in from the sogginess that seemed to complete the entire forest’s bottom. The mist swirled around the large, black brute’s paws as he slowly made his way through the forest. This was his kind of place. Dark, damp, mysterious. Two out of the three were like his heart. A bird suddenly took flight, disturbed but Exodus’ unexpected arrival. Looking up with his silver orbs, his black auds, tipped with silver, twitched back and forth. Deeming it ok to move again, the brute came to a less dense area with a large rock in the middle. For a moment, he stood at the edge of the denser area and looked into the clearing.
Could there be any traps here? Was it possible? The humans, so he had heard, had set up traps in some areas to help kill of Exodus’ kind. He had also heard that not all the traps had been activated nor taken away once the humans left. It could become a hazard later, or even now. Slightly growling deep in his chest, the brute approached the rock. His mind was made and there was no undoing it. Jumping limberly up until he was atop the highest point, he looked out over what would become his new territory.
Throwing back his head in a graceful manner, his message was:
Let it be known that I, Exodus Sivor Alastor, from hence forth claim this land, Acerbus as my own forever more until my last dying breath. Those idiotic enough to even think of challenging me will be beaten with sheer, brute force and run off my land and will never be able to return again. Those seeking to steal from my land shall be harshly punished. Anyone found upon my land without reason or permission shall be chased and marked as a trespasser. My pack shall be known as the Salen pack and shall ware their title with pride. All members will remain loyal to myself. Any found guilty of treason shall be severely punished or killed. I will be shown the utmost respect and shall express no less. Now, let it be know that the pack of Salen is open and welcomes any members who wish to join and know the rules enough to follow them well.
Lowering his muzzle and licking his snout, Exodus smiled in a satisfied way. This was now his territory. None shall take it from him. Sitting upon the rock, Exodus looked out into the forest, his eyes dull and his mind wandering off into his little world.
