Come one Come All

If there was anything that Amara had to adjust to it was the heat of the land in which she lived in. Her thick pelt made her very uncomfortable surrounded by so much warmth, and it also led her to be a bit more irritable then normal. She had only just joined the Valyn and already she knew that this was a pack that she would thoroughly dedicate herself to. It consisted of mostly females and that made things much easier for the ivory colored femme considering she couldn't stand males. They were users and majority of the time they walked around like their shit didn't stink. Amara loved to prove others wrong, it was a hobby of hers, and she loved to show that she was in fact stronger and smarter then most males. Granted she couldn't compete with the immense size of the wolves in Kairos, but it was clear where they had size they were lacking intelligence. Most brutish animals were like that and they were no exception. She smirked to herself at the thought and almost laughed aloud. Although Kairos' numbers were growing Valyn was growing as well; but Amara wasn't satisfied. They needed to prove that they were just as strong, if not stronger. Their numbers needed to climb, and in order to do that she needed some support from her fellow "sisters." Her stomach grumbled and she frowned momentarily but decided she would head to a particular area of the terrain that she hadn't been to yet - Uchai Lagoon. Amara knew that the Lagoon was nestled deep within the jungle, she just hadn't traveled that far yet to investigate it. What had lured her there was the prospect of the tropical fish deep within the water's depth; although it was a long shot she was willing to try for an easy meal. She didn't want to be distracted by an empty stomach so she picked up the pace, her strides long as she wove through the trees and leapt over roots and boulders. Talons dug into the moist ground, her body heating up the faster she ran. Although it was winter it was remarkably warm here and her thick pelt made her overheat nine out of ten times. By the time Amara was standing above the green water she was panting lightly. Slowly she picked her way down the incline, her sea foam blue eyes focused on the water. Upon closer inspection you could clearly see the algae piled against the coral reefs and the shore line. But beneath the surface she caught quick glimpses of the large fish darting around and instantly it felt as if her mouth was watering at the sight of them.

She watched them closely, moving forward just enough to dip her paws in the water. She glared down at the murky liquid, waiting for one of the foolish fish to get close enough for her to grab. The first one that got close enough was too quick for her, she was just a hair too slow as she dunked her muzzle underneath the water. Raising her muzzle back out of the liquid she shook her skull, her auds flicking backward for a moment. Amara continued this process for about three or four more times before she was able to snatch one up out of the water. The fish lurched and jumped in her mouth which made her clamp down even tighter with her jaws. Her canines dug into the fish, it's blood oozing into her mouth. Instantly she felt relief and proceeded to walk a few steps from the lagoon before lying down underneath one of the large trees. A few spider monkeys sat above her squealing to one another but she simply ignored them. She kept the fish pinned between her front paws as she tore away at it until finally it was nothing but a skeleton. Amara returned to the water to rinse off some of the blood and try to make herself presentable. When she felt like she was as prepared as she could be and lifted her muzzle up to the sky before letting out a long howl. It was not demanding but it was seeking the presence of others. She was tired of everyone assuming that Kairos was the strongest pack around, because in all reality they weren't. This was the time where they all needed to gather together and prove their worth.

The gentle sounds of cascading waters filled her senses. Alone once more, Athena was winding her way through the difficult terrain in the depths of the jungle. Her limp was subsiding as the faces of the moon changed above, but was still present as she walked along a quasi-path alongside a river that emptied into the sea. The quiet wolf allowed the peaceful noise to overpower the anxiety that swelled inside of her like a storm as she ventured toward the south.

It did not feel like winter. The impossibly tall jungle trees were draped with green vines instead of glistening snow. Kal’dyne remained a verdant setting, in spite of the shortened days and colder nights. The climate was a stark contrast from the icy tundra that Athena was bred to inhabit, and her solidly silver tinted pelt was burdensome to her in the home she had newly adopted. She had joined for a sense of belonging, but had met so few of her pack mates that the excuse hardly seemed relevant. She had also come for safety after being mauled by a bear, but the Valyn pack’s territory was far from a safe and secure location. Athena had watched all of the strange, exotic animals at night, lurking about the jungle in search of food and water. Valeria had claimed the land for their own, a refuge for the female lupine residents of Anikira, but it had occurred to Athena that the other animals of the jungle likely did not care which wolf declared ownership of the realm. Perhaps the jaguars had their own version of an alpha skulking around the muggy lands. The big cats had not become a problem yet for the wolves, but Athena found it difficult to trust them.

Then again, the female found if difficult to trust her own species, as well. It was now close to a month gone by since her scandalous encounter with the mysterious brute that she had saved from a tempest on the first day of winter. He had given her something in return, though Athena had not yet realized her predicament. She would be contributing to the population of her pack, but did not know it yet. For some, carrying new life was a blessing. To others, a litter was nothing more than a curse and inconvenience. For Athena, her dalliance remained her own private secret, shared only with the male whose name she had already forgotten, a foul creature she did not intend to see again. Her shameful secret was one she planned to carry to her grave, but it would be impossible to hide her pregnancy once she realized what had happened, that her wild night carried unthinkable consequences.

Her movement ceased when she heard the call – one of her own, she knew, for its source was along the rocky shore guarded closely by the pack. Normally, Athena was reserved, keeping to herself. She had hunted alone for so long, it seemed strange now to be a member of a real pack. For a lingering moment, the silver female paused to consider whether or not to answer the howl. Finally, her direction changed, veering toward the unknown female who sang out for her new clan. She had to start somewhere if she were to be anything more within her pack than a lowly subordinate, and besides, she missed feminine company more than she would admit aloud. A pack was meant to feel like a family, something that Athena had never experienced. Even if she had to force herself against her mistrust and fretfulness, she had to make her life in Valyn worthwhile and interesting.

Athena had not come to the lagoon since her first days in the pack, and had forgotten how beautiful the beach was. When she finally found her way to the shore lined with rocks of every size, she saw the white fae instantly. Palm trees decorated the area. This place definitely did not resemble winter in any shape or form. The Arctic femme was the only life present until Athena pawed tentatively closer to her, head ducked in respect for her fellow Valyn wolf. ”Greetings, sister.” Her smile was shy and her voice low and peaceful as a funeral dirge. ”My name is Athena.”

She wasn’t quite sure what she was doing here. Not necessarily in this land, but in the pack itself. Breeze tilted her head upward and closed her eyes. Something had obviously sparked her interest, so she decided to take a chance and join this superior female pack. It did give her pleasure to know that males were considered lesser beings, which was true. Men were weak and fools, she couldn’t help but chuckle at her thought. She didn’t care for males anymore, never did in the first place, even when a familiar presence pushed up on her brain, she pushed it away. She stopped in her steps as she looked around the lagoon. It was in the middle of winter, but it felt like summer as the sun hung high in the sky. She much preferred the colder weather over this, but she wasn’t one to complain over simple matters like that. She just shrugged her shoulders and continued forward. Breeze was like any other arctic wolf, but there was also something different about her…and it wasn’t just the jagged cuts across her left eye that almost left her blind. She held herself high and prideful, and it was obvious that in her youth she was quite the beauty, but age had not been kind to her over the years.

Breeze spent most of her time away from the other females of the pack. She was a loner at heart and she wasn’t exactly the friendliest of wolves. In truth when she was younger she got along much better with males than she did with females. She loved to be in the center of attention and others just got jealous of the attention. It seemed to have flipped though in the last few years. She much rather be around other females, than males. Breeze smirked at the thought and shook her head. Her old age had caused her to be bitter and snippy at those younger than her, but it also calmed her down some than her youthful self who was always looking away to show that she was better than those around her. Breeze paused a bit when she sensed others in the distance, they were not strangers, and she knew the scent of other Valyn members. At first she complimented if she should just turn around and walk away. Idle chitchat never was her fancy and it wasn’t as if she was in need for some kind of companionship. She shifted her weight a she turned her body to walk away, but she didn’t. She couldn’t bring herself to do it.

It was then when the howl erupted from the silence and rang in Breeze’s ears. She titled her head upward. She was being called forward, and she obeyed. She continued going forward until she finally reached the opening when she spotted the other two females; both of them were obviously a lot younger than she was. She remained in the shadows for now though. She watched their movements and studied them. She didn’t feel like any of the Valyn members had a reason to start a fight with each other, it seemed like they all at least had one common interest, but it wasn’t as if Breeze wasn’t afraid of a fight either. She might be older, but she had more experience, and therefore it could go either way. After a few minutes she pushed herself out of hiding to make herself known, still holding her body high (after all they were the same rank, it would be different if Valerie was around), and her tail flickering behind her, her ears pulled back slightly.

“Well…well…” Breeze said in a slick tone. “What a rather strange gathering we have all come to. Quite the coincidence, if I do say so myself.”

Amara waited patiently, her tail tucked around her paws as she sat. She had cleaned herself up well enough, her ivory pelt glistening beautifully in the bit of sunlight that broke through the canopy of leaves overhead. Her auds were flicked forward, her head held high as her nasal passages scented the air around her. So far there was nothing but her own scent on the wind but she knew in time one of her sisters would answer her call. For a moment she felt anxious, was this right? She had done her best to stay out of everyone's way since coming here, but she knew now was the time for them to hear her voice. The numbers that were entering Kairos were truthfully unsettling and the fact that it was still mating season made it even more likely that their numbers would climb even further. Her tail flicked casually but this was a small tick of irritation. Amara didn't enjoy the thought of a pack being better then her own and the only reason Kairos was "better" then them at the moment was because of the staggering amount of loners that were walking through their doors so to speak. It was while she was thinking of this particular thought that another femme arrived, one who was silver in comparison to her pure white and she also carried a very minuscule limp. Greetings, sister. My name is Athena. Amara enjoyed the sound of her voice, it was soft but strong. She dipped her head politely in return to her words and nodded toward a nearby tree. Please, take a seat. My name is Amara. She offered her calling and a small smile followed as she watched the female with curious sea foam colored eyes, a unique blue considering the yellow around her iris. She had been told of the beauty her eyes held but she shoved the thought aside, not wanting to think of the wolf who had told her that very thing. The two females weren't together long however before a third femme arrived. Well…well…What a rather strange gathering we have all come to. Quite the coincidence, if I do say so myself. Her tones were slick as she spoke them before she came closer. Amara had no reason to feel any unease around these two females considering they were her pack mates, but she continued to have her guard up for personal reasons.

They were both females which made it easier for her to trust them, but she wasn't going to get cozy just yet. As the white femme got closer Amara became aware of the scars that crossed over her left eye, but she said nothing despite her curiosity. Pleasure to have you.. My name is Amara and what might I call you? Her words were coy as she questioned her but her tongue was not sharp. She treated these two females with the same amount of respect she expected to gain from them. As she waited for a response from this third female she shifted her gaze to Athena, surveying her for a moment to see if she had met this particular pack mate before. The monkeys continued to squawk and chatter above them, some going as far as climbing down to the lower branches to get a better look. But they knew better; if Amara got annoyed enough she wouldn't mind leaping up and snatching one out of the lower branches. After all the day was still early and she still had plenty of room in her stomach. After a few moments passed Amara turned her body so that she would be facing both females before she spoke. I have called you here my fellow sisters for a very specific reason.. Her words came out steady, like a smooth lullaby. But as she spoke they became a bit louder as her passion and irritation ignited them. I am so very tired of our pack going unrecognized. It is OUR time. We need to make our presence known. We need everyone to know that the Valyn are just as strong as Kairos, if not stronger. She let a cool smile settle on her features as she addressed them both, waiting for their reactions. This was quite the announcement, she knew, but it was something that her sisters needed to hear! They were in the shadows of a pack that held nothing but size and brutality to their names! The Valyn needed recognition! They needed to prove that they were the top dogs around here. If we continue on the way we have we will be nothing but a mere shadow behind Kairos. We need a change. Her voice was strong, completely unwavering. She met the gaze of both females and did not move, her whole body completely motionless aside from the rise and fall of her sides with each breath. Now it was their turn, they could turn her away or they could help her. It was time.

As Amara requested, Athena sat silently before her pack mate, a curious expression gracing her light hued features. Another female appeared on the beach, and the silver tundra female gave a polite nod, though the other had not offered her name. The newcomer’s most distinguishing feature was difficult to miss: a trio of rosy scars from some past encounter, fully healed but still deep. It was not Athena’s business to ask what the source of the scars could be, so she kept her inquiries silenced. From a healer’s standpoint, Athena thought that the as yet unnamed arctic female was lucky that she had kept her left eye, blue as a mountain stream. She looked between the two arctic faes curiously, an ear flicking as the sound of the nearby primates chattering away threatened to distract her attention. The little beasts would not dare to approach the wolves, but they still watched the pale females cautiously. They would make an easy meal if they were not so fast, and their tails could be used to their advantage. Athena was almost envious of this trait. How many times had she wished she could simply disappear into a tree and away from a dangerous situation?

Amara began to speak, her voice strong and purposeful. Athena had been expecting a casual meeting, but now realized that there was something bigger going on that she had not anticipated. ”I am so very tired of our pack going unrecognized. It is OUR time. We need to make our presence known. We need everyone to know that the Valyn are just as strong as Kairos, if not stronger.” Athena was ever silent as she listened to her pack mate speak of the dark menace that lurked nearby, the pack that was feared by those who knew of it, but understood by few. Already, Kairos had claimed two separate territories, one that was uncomfortably close to their own home. If it was a sign of what was to come, the threat to Kal’dyne and to Valyn and its females was very real. As Amara spoke, her voice raised and the intensity in the air was electric. The trio had only just met, but already, one of their own was making a proposition that would undoubtedly send ripples throughout therir pack. Athena’s pale gray expression remained neutral as Amara finished speaking.

If we continue on the way we have we will be nothing but a mere shadow behind Kairos. We need a change. Athena’s façade, still calm, did not betray the worry that began to tumble within her at Amara’s words. Her eyes were fixed on her fellow pack mate for a lingering moment before she found her voice again. ”I agree that Kairos is a concern for all of us.” Her voice fell to almost a whisper and her head ducked sheepishly as she admitted something that she had not shared with another of her Valyn sisters. ”I came across Goliath once while I was wandering – or rather, he came across me. I escaped, but the memory of his size is haunting.” She offered no further comment, but her facial features hinted at the discomfort the topic roused. She knew that the whispered tales of the brute’s size were true because she had seen it with her own eyes.

Still, Athena’s sense of danger was heightened at the implications of facing Kairos, their only neighbors on Tas’alea. She was not a warrior. ”But our pack is still growing. I have no inkling of our numbers, and whether every female is capable or willing to take action. What changes are you suggesting, Amara?” Athena’s focus shifted to Breeze to gauge the other’s reaction.

Breeze had no idea that this little calling would quite turn out the way it did. She settled herself down as the one who called herself Amara began to speak. First though she inquired about Breeze’s name. At first she was going to smart off and said it was none of their business, but she decided it was better not too. “Breeze is the name that I have been given.” She said, in a little bit of a nicer tone than she did before. Her eyes flickered back to the two younger females. There was a hint of jealousy in her eyes, for both of them still held onto their youthful glow that she had lost many years ago. It didn’t bother her as much as it used to though, back when she was male obsessed; now she could care less about those filthy creatures. She wished she could destroy each and every one. Even now, years later her scar burned with the memories of the son she birthed who left this horrid mark on her face. One day she would get her revenge though. One day soon. She turned her head intently at Amara as she began to speak, an amused smirk pulled at the edge of Breeze’s lips.


She knew she joined this pack for a reason. Even though Breeze had a hard time getting along with others, there was one thing that all of them shared in common that overshadowed any of their differences, there deep detest for males. They understood that men were weak and pathetic and that it was females who were strong and deserved to be in control. Breeze enjoyed this very much and agreed with every word she said. She never met the Alpha of Kairos and only heard of it through passing, but a pack that had male superior in mind was no good in her book and she would gladly join any forces that wanted to tear it down. Breeze may have been older than and not as youthful as she used to be, but she was still smart and cunning and still could easily fight if she wanted too. She didn’t let her age cause her to be weakened in anyway and she would be willing to fight anyone to prove that she still had it. She turned her head to the other female who begin to reply to Amara about her own concerns about the numbers of Valyn, which Breeze understood. If this pack was as big as she heard, than they hardly stood a chance (even though she cringed to even think of that.)


Breeze knew she couldn’t keep silent forever and that she had to speak up. “An interesting speech that is for sure, so bold and confident, but sadly that isn’t the way to win wars,” Breeze told her bluntly, “It’s a nice dream and all…and believe me I would love more than anything to crush a guy or two, but from experience, men think with their muscles…we need to be smart about any attempt of attack or any other strategy you have in mind. Numbers doesn’t always mean everything.” Breeze thought back to her mate Riztic. He never thought things through. He was an idiot in many ways. Males just went for the attack and didn’t think of the battle plan and that was the reason he was killed.


“But, I’m all ears to the plans in which you have for a change,” Breeze replied.

I agree that Kairos is a concern for all of us. I came across Goliath once while I was wandering – or rather, he came across me. I escaped, but the memory of his size is haunting. Amara's ears seemed to perk while Athena spoke and an invisible brow arched curiously. She too had heard the tales of Goliath's size, but had yet to see it with her own eyes. It truly was unsettling not knowing what the enemy looked like, but then again it did not matter too terribly to the female. Regardless she wanted to be the one to tear the brute's throat out at the end of the day. Her blood lust had grown within the past month since she had become a part of Valyn, making her yearn for better things. She didn't want to be a meaningless peasant - she wanted to be a warrior. On top of that she wanted to teach her skills to her fellow sisters, they all needed to know how to defend themselves properly whether they wanted to fight or not. Just the look in Athena's eyes when speaking of Goliath wasn't promising; but it was something she was willing to help change. But our pack is still growing. I have no inkling of our numbers, and whether every female is capable or willing to take action. What changes are you suggesting, Amara? She let her eyes drift over to the other female who had remained silent so far. It was evident she was older then both herself and Athena and Amara was looking forward to hearing any ideas she might have. But our pack is still growing. I have no inkling of our numbers, and whether every female is capable or willing to take action. What changes are you suggesting, Amara? She mulled over her words for a second before she responded, Well I believe all of us need to be taught how to properly defend ourselves. Even if some aren't willing to fight they need to know self defense. She responded as her sea foam colored eyes met with the bright orange of Athena's eyes. Breeze is the name that I have been given. Amara nodded her head in recognition to the female, satisfied that she could finally match a name to the face. An interesting speech that is for sure, so bold and confident, but sadly that isn’t the way to win wars. Her auds pinned at first and although she wanted to argue and rebuke Breeze the more rational side of her whispered for her to listen to the elder fae. It’s a nice dream and all…and believe me I would love more than anything to crush a guy or two, but from experience, men think with their muscles…we need to be smart about any attempt of attack or any other strategy you have in mind. Numbers doesn’t always mean everything. She listened intently, the wheels in her mind turning as Breeze spoke.

Amara knew deep down that she would be stupid not to listen to Breeze. As much as she wanted to prove her dominance she knew that she had to accept help from these two females. But, I’m all ears to the plans in which you have for a change. Amara nodded her head yet again before standing up to pace, her paws digging into the moist ground beneath her. I agree.. We need a decent strategy. But first things first, we need more numbers. You two are the first I've met in Valyn aside from our leader.. She spoke carefully before halting her motions and sitting in the spot she stopped. She was much closer to them now and she spoke once again, Are you both willing to help me? I don't want to sit by idle anymore and you both seem like very capable females.. I'm trusting you. She was reluctant, everything in her screamed no, but she needed to trust them. If they had a decent strategy and brought it to Valeria there was no way she would turn it down. Right now they needed to worry about building the pack, and watching their own backs. Kairos was growing, and they needed to grow too. One of those ways would be to have pups, but the thought was repulsive. Amara was almost tempted to go as far as kidnapping someone else's and the thought consumed her mind. Perhaps pups would be another option.. Not our own, but someone else's. If we take them while their young they won't remember a thing.. I know it seems a little unethical.. But that might be one of the quicker ways amongst recruiting new members. She waited for a response, expecting them to be completely repulsed with her. But at the same time, they were a pack without males so mating was completely not an option! The mere thought made her want to gauge her own eyes out.

Breeze – the gentle name did not seem to fit the feisty wolf who possessed it, but Athena kept the thought to herself. It was important for her to befriend her pack sisters, perhaps even bond with them. She could recall no siblings or the love shared between litter mates, but she found that she craved some semblance of closeness with the others she had given her independence to live alongside. The scarred female spoke of wars and of strategy, and Athena remained silent, orange orbs flicking from one wolfess to the other. She mused internally: were they both soldiers, coming to Valyn in pursuit of blood and glory?

Athena had not come to Kal’dyne to gain new enemies, to help fight in wild battles; on the contrary, she had come to heal their sick and their wounds. She was not a coward, but she was pragmatic, and her dark lips pursed as she listened to Amara speak. Are you both willing to help me? I don't want to sit by idle anymore and you both seem like very capable females.. I'm trusting you. The final words ruminated in Athena’s mind... Trust. It was nearly a foreign concept for the silver femme.

She was only a subordinate in the pack for the time being, and while a war would give her an opportunity to show her skills, she was not so quick to jump into something that could prove impossible to win. Athena was uncertain of their alpha’s mission, or if Valeria had a grander scheme beyond establishing their own safe haven in the jungle. Kairos was close, but Athena had no desire to lure them any closer. Athena would be contributing to her pack’s population in other ways, though no one was aware of the litter she carried – including Athena herself, but soon, she would discover the truth. If only for a night, she had taken a Kairos brute as her mate.

Her stare finally came to rest upon Amara’s pretty, pale eyes as she laid her intentions out, speaking plainly. Perhaps pups would be another option.. Not our own, but someone else's. If we take them while their young they won't remember a thing.. I know it seems a little unethical.. But that might be one of the quicker ways amongst recruiting new members. Her eyes widened in surprise, in spite of the she-wolf’s attempt to suppress her shocked expression. The fae’s own mother had abandoned her, but a mother supposed to care for and love their offspring. To steal the little ones would undoubtedly stir up a mess that Athena could not imagine, but she had seen enough of Kairos’ stock to guess what might happen.

”Do you believe that our fate is already sealed, and that a war is so inevitable? If Valyn is not already doomed to wage war with our enemies, why should we seek out trouble?” For a moment, Athena seemed to hesitate. She had only just met her pack sisters and did not wish to offend them, but something within her forced the words from her maw as her gaze fell to the dirt beneath her silver paws. ”Valyn should be famed for our acceptance of females and a sense of belonging in a world of misogyny, not for pupnapping innocents. We are a rarity. Perhaps our status will draw unwanted attention from the outside, but we will defend ourselves when the time comes. I agree that defensiveness is wise, but... I am not a warrior,” she conceded. The petite fae fell silent, unaccustomed to speaking her opinion aloud so freely without repercussion.

[Emerald]

Emerald sniffed through the undergrowth. 'Huh. So. I'm part of a pack now, I guess. Packs were never really my thing, but I know I can trust my sisters. This place is so beautiful and peaceful. I know I'm in the right place'.

A parted cloud glided through the silent sky, as if it were an enormous grey bird flapping by.

"I will meet up with you. I must find whomever is calling to me. Please go with caution." Here she was. In the lagoon.

Emerald lifted her ragged, wet muzzle and sniffed for fresh femme scent. Following it, the fae padded along, the humid air massaging her aching muscles. A sudden distinct smell hit her-fresh, too: yes, Valyn scent. She was looking forward to meeting her fellow sisters. They would be her allies. Since when did stupid brutes do anyone any good? She thought that a female-only pack was a great idea.

She strode as confidently as she could muster into the small gathering. Where this sudden urge to impress came from, no wolf knew, but Emerald was enjoying the feeling of... Whatever this was. It was good. Family. Sistership. Something Emerald had lacked until she had joined this wondrous pack. No doubt this would change her life. For the better.

"Greetings, sisters. I am Emerald. I-er, just joined." She winced as her stammer began to come back. 'Once I socialize a bit, I'm sure I'll regain my strength and confidence that I lost when I was a loner.' "I wish to join your gathering. Our alphess-Valeria, yes, her, said that I was to come here. She said she'd meet me here." Realizing how over-confident she sounded, especially for a wolf that had just joined, she decided to quieten down, so she seated herself and stared timidly at her wet paws from wandering around the water's edge.

Being around her sisters felt good. Although her pelt was on fire, half of embarrassment and half of the stares she was receiving.

Bashfully, she picked up a lone auburn leaf, that must have fallen down last autumn, and fiddled with it as an unusual sense of tranquillity settled into her. Emerald's feelings were all over the place; maybe they had hitched a ride on an eagle.

She needn't ask what intriguing subject the gathering was about; she had overheard on her way here. 'How did I not know about Kairos, I wonder? Anyway, they sound weak and stupid! Maybe we can prove ourselves with... intelligence?' She couldn't help but have noticed the disappointed look on the alphess' black face when she had told her of her intelligence and understanding. 'Maybe being smart isn't what we really need. I daren't say this aloud, in case if they think I'm pathetic.' Sighing, Emerald brought her tail to her chest and sat still, allowing her excessive heat to slowly tumble off her snowy fur.

She sat completely erect, her gaze shifting from both Athena and Breeze. Pup napping was by far not one of her best ideas, but how else would their pack grow? The mere thought of welcoming males was repulsive to her and she ground her teeth in distaste. Do you believe that our fate is already sealed, and that a war is so inevitable? If Valyn is not already doomed to wage war with our enemies, why should we seek out trouble? Athena was immediately the voice of reason and Amara nodded, Your right.. I guess I'm just a bit on edge. She responded with a shrug of her shoulders. Truthfully Amara could steal a pup quite easily if she wanted to, but she didn't have the heart to do so. Valyn should be famed for our acceptance of females and a sense of belonging in a world of misogyny, not for pupnapping innocents. We are a rarity. Perhaps our status will draw unwanted attention from the outside, but we will defend ourselves when the time comes. I agree that defensiveness is wise, but... I am not a warrior. Again Amara locked eyes with only Athena, pinning her with her gaze. I agree, we need to be known for positive things. As far as fighting, I have plenty of skills I can teach you for self defense. For the first time in awhile she flashed a genuine smile towards Athena and Breeze but her attention was redirected when another female entered the scene. Greetings, sisters. I am Emerald. I-er, just joined. Amara regarded the new female carefully, almost as if she were sizing her up though they all held the same rank here. I wish to join your gathering. Our alphess-Valeria, yes, her, said that I was to come here. She said she'd meet me here. Amara's auds perked at the sound of their alpha joining them. She looked up to Valeria and trusted no one else as much as she did her. Please Emerald, take a seat. She remarked as she watched her carefully. We were simply pondering what our course of action would be should Kairos infringe on us any further. She remarked with even tones, her eyes darting back to Athena and then Breeze.

Her tail curled around her paws and she sat silent for a moment before she allowed herself to speak again. I believe we should be concerned.. We need to have a plan. She spoke her thoughts aloud as she watched the three females that had joined. Valeria would be coming soon and they could all voice their concerns but Amara simply wanted to pick their brains while they waited for their Alpha to join them. Amara wanted everyone to strive for more, but more importantly everyone needed to trust and look out for one another. We need to watch each others backs.. I'm prepared to help everyone learn self defense and beyond that.. She smiled again, this time warm and inviting. Her head was clear now and she knew they would need a better game plan. By putting all of their heads together they could figure out what to do in certain situations, and most importantly who would play which roles in the pack. Amara wanted to hold a higher rank not because she was power hungry but because she knew she could help.
